I Think,(which gets me in trouble) ,that people are saying the cash thing may make her a target of crime,not that they care whether she chooses to use credit,debit,checks or cash as is the case.At least that's my opinion. I couldn't give a rip how one chooses to pay for their stuff,lol.We actually have a safe in our home,but never more than a few hundred for Emergencies. Long story short,I was amazed that she felt comfortable carrying that amount,not the least bit interested in how she earned it or how she spent it. Just sayin'

In this age and time she could use her ATM card- same as cash. Walking around with cash is so last century ;).

Ahhhhhh construction Co. it makes sense now.

I have a lovely floor safe. Unfortunately, no one knows the danged combo. One of these days I'm gonna get a safe cracker in here. :-)

So, I'm confused. Just because her husband works for a construction company, what does that mean? Is there a stereotype here that I'm not aware of?

Costacat, contractors often deal in cash and not all of it is reported, stereo typically speaking.

Lori, Just trying to figure out why she doesn't pay for things with checks, charge cards, atm cards.

As an office manager of a CPA firm there are 2 type of client we won't take on - restaurant owners and General Contractors because we can't or don't believe that they we get a full and accurate accounting of their cash intake...and we don't really want to deal with that.


Any kind of electronic payment is too easy to track. If you tell the irs your income is a million dollars and you are spending 4 million, well irs will have questions about that...can't track cash payments as easily.

Yeah,I get that. I just don't understand the assumption that the money isn't reported. Of course I'm not an accountant(Thank God,I SUCK at math),so what do I know? I just don't like putting people in "categories". It's a personal pet peeve,have been open to all people since High School when I was old enough to make those decisions for myself,so I don't do well with stereotypes. Again,just a personal preference,FWIW

I, like most rational people don't like to stereotype just like you. But businesses with a high volume of cash trade like restaurants and other service industry business are the most audited for a reason. The temptation is great not to report all your income just to save on their tax obligation. Beside it's really odd to pay for items with cash especially large ticket items. I believe that any cash transaction over 10k needs to be reported to the irs.

The RECIPIENT must report cash payments received of more than $10K. If Teresa pays by cash a lot, I'm sure she's well aware of the IRS rules.

Must be nice drive around with that amount of cash and not worry about it.

Chances are that there are a couple of endomorphic males standing off camera who are charged with keeping the ladies and their money safe.

she just kept saying some "catty" things - it seemed to make Caroline uncomfortable - the most interesting thing for me in this episode - was the scenes for next show!! more cash, poor Danielle caroline is going into full investigative mode, and her past comes up and Danielle is not happy - and after saying this week about all mean people?

I can not fathom having that much cash!

If Danielle is so "cash poor," how much did she spend on that spa party?

At the spa party, Danielle was trying to say the Dr.'s name while she was numb and she mis-prounounced it sounding like "blah-blah-c-o-c-k" and she laughed and said something like "oh I know c**k! Dina said something along the lines "we know that" or similiarly snarky.

Boy this explanation sounds lame...sorry.

Does anyone remember the name of the book Danielle was talking about? Something Without Badge?

I am definitely not liking Danielle. It IS all about her. She calls cuz she wants advice, and then proceeds to tell them what she's going to do (and basically saying Jacqueline's advice stinks?). And Theresa cracked me up... "He basically goes over ever day for... [insert long pause] a bl0wj08]. Too funny!

Never mind, found it: Cop Without a Badge: The Extraordinary Undercover life of Kevin Maher. (The Amazon reviews totally diss this book, and say it's full of lies, btw.)

But I did find this tidbit...

'Cop Without a Badge' book may show 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Danielle Staub's mugshot

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" personality Danielle Staub is one of the only women on the Bravo show without rumored mob links - but those alleged mafia ladies may have nothing on her when it comes to crime ties.

Fans are all aflutter today over reports that Staub's mugshot may appear in a now out-of-print book called "Cop Without a Badge: The Extraordinary Undercover life of Kevin Maher."

The book, written by Charles Kipps, is described as the true story of an ex-conman turned criminal informant.

It was published in 1995 by Carroll & Graf, and is summarized on Amazon.com like this:

"Former FBI and Secret Service agent Kevin Maher describes the intervention that prevented him from following a life of crime and recounts his dangerous career in which he solved homicides, targeted the mafia, and fought in the drug war."

So where does Staub fit in?

Last night's show featured her throwing a spa party - the highlight for the Jersey gals was the free Botox injections - and sinking into a feud with rival housewife Dina Manzo, who talks trash about Staub's sexual history.

Next week's episode will apparently shed new light on Staub's connection to the book "Cop Without a Badge," which may or may not feature her mugshot, according to NJ.com.

Star Magazine has reported that Staub was arrested in early April at her home in Wayne, NJ in connection to financial issues surrounding her divorce settlement.

I haven't watched last night's episode yet, but in the ones I have watched rumors of previous stripper have been thrown around. I didn't know if Danielle was saying that about Dina or someone saying it about Danielle. This article says it's Danielle. It also explains more about Danielle's connection to Kevin Maher and what her previous career 'may' have been.

http://www.realitytea.com/

I'm surprised she was arrested in relation to attorney fees, as wouldn't her ex-husband be paying them?

I'm very sad that the sister-in-law is friends with Danielle, because she is so sweet and Danielle brings her so much stress when she continues to go places she's not invited. She's a woman with an extremely strong personality; the kind it's best to steer clear of if you're not into drama every day.

ETA: I forgot to mention there is a very sad article about Kate & Jon on the same page as the article about Danielle.

If she hired the attorney, it's possible that the settlement agreement did NOT include that her husband pay her attorney's fees. Since it's apparent she's still waiting for the windfall, I'm not surprised she hasn't paid her attorney.

That website drives me nuts, btw. Please, people, run a spell check and THEN have a editor look at it. There were at least a half dozen errors (typo, grammar). So much so that odds are high I'll never go to that site again.

Yes, the typos and grammatical errors run rampant through those articles.

BTW, I scrolled down and saw the article where the RHONYC are going to get paid $30,000 each per episode!!! next season - including Kelly (((sigh))))

I too am SHOCKED that Kelly is coming back. I don't dislike her like the other women on the show do, but she just doesn't fit in with them and it makes it awkward.

Finally watched the New Jersey Housewives latest episode and I just didn't get Danielle's venom towards Dina. I guess Dina's remarks just didn't come across that bad to me. If, as Danielle says, Dina is privately having botox with a doctor she trusts, it's her business and no one elses. Danielle seems very, very jealous of Dina because Dina just doesn't like her and that just doesn't sit right with Danielle.

I could see where Danielle may have been a topless dancer/poss. stripper. That might be why she has such a great body for her age, but there is something wrong with her mentally. She sorely needs some help and Jacqueline needs to find a way to ease away from her very soon. Not because of the SIL's, but for herself. She is just too trusting of people and Danielle seems to just use Jacqueline to try to bombard her way into J's family. J shouldn't have answered the phone when she and Teresa were trying to have a nice afternoon. They seem to get along very well.

Also, Danielle has mentioned several times she has stuff on Dina. I'm beginning to believe she isn't telling the truth, because I don't see her as someone who would hold back gossip about her mortal enemy.

Ugh ~ I can't watch Danielle. She reminds me of that catwoman who's had too much surgery.

And then there's the young girl being dragged again and again to Wilhemina only to hear what is supposedly "wrong" with her looks. This is all driving me crazy!


I had high hopes for this show after watching the teaser preview but I don't think I can stick with it any more then I could the one in Atlanta.

I looked up The Rock on IMDB and looked at this current movies. I saw one called The Tooth Fairy and I think that was the movie that the little girl was trying out for. Well I don't think she got the part because I did not see her name anywhere on the list and there was a 7 or 8 year old girl cast which I am sure would have been the part she was going for.

The whole thing with Danielle and her "boyfriend" is a little nuts. She was having phone sex with someone not too long ago and now she is so broken up about having to break up with this guy? I am starting to feel bad for her daughters now.
