Yesterday afternoon I went to have some cocktails with some attorney friends that practice family/divorce law (and they both watch the show - LOL). They both said if what the first husband said is true that he and "Beverly" were never divorced, Danielle won't get a penny from her second husband for alimony because they weren't legally married. All she will get is child support.

They replayed the table tipping clip like 50 times, I was like okay we get it!!!! The whole mess with the book aside, I have thought Danielle was super bizarre from the beginning and I do feel bad for her girls - the whole talk about the men in her life and everything. The fact that Danielle hung around and shared drinks was weird too. If you really don't want to be around these people that hurt you why hang around? Ugh I do like this group and I find myself posting about Danielle way too much!! Teresa was looking good in that green dress with her new bubbies and wow last night I really saw how pretty Lexie (dina's daughter) is! I also like all the guys.

In her blog she kind of tries to make an excuse for calling Dina a liar...says they were talking about two different situations. I don't know why she didn't believe Caroline that night. I had the distinct impression that Jacqueline was talking about another situation and in the heat of the moment was sure she was thinking of the right one. Funny because I have had those conversations where I was sure I was right and then said "oh yeah", that wasn't the one I was thinking about". Does that make sense?

Danielle is an attention <93> and that's why she stayed for drinks at the bar. That's why she brought the book. The woman is a nut case and if she is on the show next season, I won't watch it. I hope Jacqueline's oblique references in her blog are about Danielle. I'm glad to hear she wasn't really sticking up for Danielle but thinking of another situation, because after her (Jacqueline's) performance at the dinner table, I really decided she's insane if she thinks Danielle is her friend. At any rate, I'm done with Danielle. Not interested in watching someone like her and won't give her the time of day.

Just wanted to comment about this Steve selling a sex tape issue. Steve has money, it's Danielle that we know needs money. I wouldn't doubt that Danielle is behind the selling of the sex tape, Steve is just her frontman so she can look like the victim, laughing all the way to the bank.

Danielle may be behind it and may be eagerly grabbing for the money, but I wonder if she realizes what she's really doing. She does have daughters after all, and should be concerned about her reputation.

Hi, everyone! You don't know me, but I do a lot of watching and lurking. Anyway, I was cleaning out my garage yesterday and found an old Gary Larsen mug. It has the illustration on it where a Psychiatrist is working w/ a patient. On the Psych's notepad he has written, "Just plain nuts!". My first thought was Danielle...lol. Also, the numerous replays of the table tipping scene last night was ridiculous. I was thinking the same thing as Panda, okay we get it..enough already! It was obvious that Teresa was intoxicated. I would be so embarrassed to have such a thing filmed. She seemed proud. I am no angel and have said some stupid things while tipsy (no table tipping though!). I always feel like an idiot the next day.

The tone of voice she used when she said "Pay attention... puh-LEEZE!" would've had ME tipping tables over too. At the very least. And it wasn't even a flip, it was a tilt. I didn't see Teresa as really being intoxicated so much as that she was getting pissed for having her lovely dinner ruined by some whack job and on top of that getting disrespected by same whack job and being told to pay attention!!! Honestly, I'm surprised more didn't happen. Personally, I'd have tossed Danielle out on her ear, contract or no contract (assuming there is a contract that states you have to spend x amount of time with the whack job so they can get some film). She'd have been escorted out of the restaurant and completely disinvited from the dinner.

I didn't think Teresa looked intoxicated either.Matter of fact,I don't think any of them were,were they? (I mean drunk,not just drinking,I know they were drinking cuz Caroline said"It did the trick"..lol) Honestly,aside from the table tilt,(which should have hit Danielle between the eyes so maybe her eyebrows would lose some of their arch and she wouldn't look like a deer in the headlights),they all seemed to handle it really well. And Danielle staying for drinks,Good Lord!! I agree,she does have nerve,or she's an idiot.Probably both.. On and BTW!! That music they play when all the Wives are driving to the dinner,I want that on CD.I bet I could run my errands quicker if I had that motivational music..LOL!!

I would have asked her "why are you bringing this book out at a dinner where you are a guest?" after which I feel Theresa would have had every right to ask her to leave. For them to let her stay had to be scripted and run by Bravo producers because most women would have stopped it all the minute the book came out. I feel the ladies handled it pretty well considering they were made to stay there (I'm assuming) by producers.

I wish Joe would backhanded her for talking to his wife so disrespectfully. What was worse was the hideous and smug look on her face when she laid the book on the table. She's not attactive at all to me and it's because of her facial expressions...not nice to look at. It's all about her all the time. The Real Story Between Dina and Danielle's Feud Here's an article that finally tells why Danielle and Dina were feuding. Before the show, Dina thought of Danielle as "that crazy lady @ the hair salon." Imagine her horror when her sister-in-law befriends her. The article explains why Dina told Danielle she was going to "kick her a*s." Sadly she was trying to protect the very sister-in-law who Danielle used to get back @ her and made turn on her. Danielle played Jacqueline like a fiddle. When she said last night, "Dina messed with me and look what I did to her. I got her whole family to turn on her." I believe Danielle knew all along it was Caroline who had and showed the book, as she was one of friends who Jacqueline got her info from. Unbelievable. I'm so glad lives in NJ..far away. I hope Jacqueline apologized to Dina.

Missyb, I didn't get that impression, so good pickup on it from you. Even though they were talking two different things (one @ the salon and one when the gals were together) Jacqueline should have given Dina the benefit of the doubt, not the woman who had done nothing but cause trouble since she met her. Caroline's son, Albie blogged and he seems quite intelligent. I liked how he put it: I just can't wrap my head around the fact that a person could actually think the need to "clear something up," transcends the feelings of others in the room, especially the kids. Her own daughters said they "felt scared" and "wanted to help" I just don't get how anyone could put a child in that position. Although some on here have stated they thought Caroline's children were spoiled, the seemed to come throught great last night. Albie was blocking Danielle from moving w/o it seeming like that's what he was doing. The other son went to get Teresa should she lunge @ Danielle. The daughter has finished her course in cosmetology. It's expected they will get jobs and have careers. I think Caroline did a pretty good job with them.

Dina reminds me of my best friend sometimes and Caroline reminds me of me. I do like Jacqueline but I hope she ends her friendship with Danielle. I had a friend like Danielle, none of my family or friends liked her but I felt sorry for her. Finally, I decided my family was way more important and I quit being available for the Danielle like friend. I was so less stressed after that. I think Dina is beautiful, like my best friend and the way she was pacing around was just like my bf would do in that situation. She wanted to leave but couldn't. The way Caroline protects her sister Dina is the way I protect my sister Dena. lol

From the article Cricket posted: quote:But what really made Manzo want to "kick her ass" was when Staub repeatedly called Laurita about the blow-up, even though Laurita was then recovering from the latest in a series of miscarriages.
So this not letting it go thing is apparently nothing new with Danielle. Figures. I also have to wonder how Danielle paid a lawyer to negotiate her own terms if she's so broke. Someone also commented on that article on a point I'd forgotten... Danielle's basic stalking of the women (like when she showed up at the salon hinting she was going to show up at dinner even tho she wasn't invited). I, too, would've done some background checking at that point.

I caught the table-flipping scene by accident. I thought The Fashion Show was on. Never again! I am so glad I never got into any of the REAL wives shows. What is the value of these shows?? Danielle was probably cheered on by the producers. (I'm sure the main ladies have to spent so much time together as a rule.) But others mentioned, Teresa could have just ask her to or make her leave. I'm not so bothered that Teresa had the need to flip the table, like she said, she was brought up around that. But it's the afterwards. Her friends told she was "hot", she thought of herself as "hot". She even told us about her husband being aroused by her table-flipping and the great sex after that. Not only was she proud of it, she practically encouraged WIVES all over to copy her! I know it's not the same situation, apple and orange blah blah. But what are posters calling Kate out for? mean words to her husband? These ladies are telling us ugly words that are out to hurt people's feelings, actions that could lead to fist fights are trendy and glamorous? Actually, the NYC Prep is even worse. (I tuned in since I'd spent almost a decade in NYC myself.) What are we expecting from the next generations???? (Sorry, I swear I was here to have fun, not get heady!)

I, too, would've done some background checking at that point. There was a lot of good info in that article, Costa. I need to go back and read some of the comments. It made me sick when watching her tape of being on the Today show this week that she bald face denied ever going where she wasn't invited.

I just can't get over Theresa saying "I consider myself a classy woman," "I'm not a rude person," and comments to that effect and then exhibiting the behavior she did during the dinner that she was supposedly "hosting." Not only did she repeatedly tip the table, sending expensive food and dishes (which belonged to the restaurant, not to her personally), but she proceeded to CURSE worse than a proverbial sailor within earshot of her three very young girls. And then she tried to justify her behavior and write if off as simply "Jersey girl" behavior. Bull. Yes, she asked that her girls be taken from the room before things got so heated, but that looks even more premeditated to me. She got the kids out of the room and then cut loose with a torrent of swear words that showed her true colors: her behavior was tacky, classless, rude, and vulgar. And disgusting to me. And did she say that the dinner was supposed to be a "housewarming party" for her new mansion? Who has a housewarming party at a restaurant? If her house wasn't finished/perfect enough for a housewarming, she should have called the dinner what it was: Bravo's excuse to get all the Jersey housewives together in order to wrench as much drama out of the situation as possible for a big season-finale. Tasteless.

Sometimes you don't have to know HOW bad things are going to get before you remove the kids from the situation.It's a measure of precaution.We no longer even visit my Husband's Parents home if My brother in law is there.That's how much we precaution we take and we don't go there "premeditating" anything. I love,love,love Teresa,Caroline and Dina..Love,Love,Love..They are a hoot!!

Sia, I think the producers kept repeating the table lifting. Not sure, but I think Teresa only did it once. It seemed like they kept repeating it for drama. I'm surprised we haven't disussed one little fact on this board yet. (If it has been and I missed it, I'm sorry.) I was Shocked to learn that the other women didn't want the book to come out on the show or even be referred to, but Danielle wanted it discussed and shown. Was that so she could be a victim? I just don't understand her.

I thought she sorta slammed it (upwards) first, and THEN she did the actual table tip. Like a jolt and then the quake! And Cricket! How did I miss that? Of *course* it's so she could come across as a victim. Because she knew darned well how the other women would treat it. I also cracked up that she said "because a book was written about me." Um, yeah, hon? That book was not about YOU. I dunno but you may not even have been an entire chapter!

I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the author of that book has a new one coming out in September.

Danielle is like Speidi, she knows she is never going to be the popular prom queen so she will take attention any way she can get it or more so, any way she can create it. There isn't a message board out there that is saying anything nice about her BUT there is also not a message board out there that isn't talking about her a whole bunch. She gets more time of day than any of them and she loves it. I don't personally get people like that; it would make me want to change to read all of the stuff people thought of me if I were her or if I was Speidi. But, they are of another breed, they don't care what you say they just want you to talk about them.

This dinner was so staged... Teresa had no problem talking about her sexcapades with her kids in the room, but all of the sudden wants her girls taken out when the fight started. This was so fake it isn't even funny. Caroline with her mafia speech about her family values and all... I have seen it all.
