Wow, I can't believe Danielle just whips out the book and puts on the table "with a 45 degree angle pointing at Dina". GROW UP!

Wow, I can't believe Danielle just whips out the book and puts on the table "with a 45 degree angle pointing at Dina". GROW UP!

Besides being completely stupid and shameless at somebody else's Dinner Party (I refuse to call it a housewarming party since it wasn't at any house), it wouldn't shock me if the producers found a copy of the book (whether at Danielle's home or elsewhere) and strongly encouraged her to bring it along to the dinner for a big shocking confrontation scene.

In other news, I'm very excited for Jacqueline and Teresa! How exciting for them to have kids so close together in age. The drama will never end!

 

[wowsmom]

The part that really had me shaking my head was Danielle saying (near the end) something like "If they want to go forward with me, there's got to be an apology". Uummm...HELLO?!?!?! THEY DON'T WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH YOU!!! Ay yi yi!

It was alright, total set up with the book, but she is weird anyway and always wants the attention on her, so it really honestly doesn't surprise me that she brought the book.

I will say at first, she really wanted to clear the air and I think that Caroline was right and said let her talk. However it did get wayyyy out of hand, Caroline was trying to be polite and let Danielle speak then she got an attitude with Dina and with Teresa who invited her and her children!!!!

But let me tell you Jacqueline lost all of my respect and Dina was right, she was two-faced about the situation. She should have been more honest with Danielle about it, she stood by Danielle and why did she get arrested? What did she get arrested for? Teresa is right there has got to be more about Danielle in that book then she is really saying.

But get over Dina seriously, I think she is jealous of her and wants to be like her. Showing her young girls those pictures of her when she was naked, that is uncalled for and ridiculous.

I am so mad I forgot it was on - what was the fight about at the dinner?

 

[Aristomommy]

I am not a fan of Danielle, but after last night's episode, I think Dina fell to the bottom of my list with the NJ girls. It was bad taste to bring up the book, but I also think that this was Danielle's only opportunity to address all the wives at the same time. It was her against everyone else and she wanted to say her peace. Caroline took the blame for her sister and Dina denied having anything to do with it. Once Jacqueline revealed that Dina was on the computer searching something about Danielle and found the book, Dina immediately changed her story (if I heard right with all the yelling going on). I don't think Jacqueline was two faced, she is just stuck btw. a family that will lie and hide behind each other vs. the truth of what happened. Teresa's reaction was out of proportion, although she did have a reason to be upset. I've been upset but never felt the need to throw tables.

Should be interesting Thursday.

Did anyone notice danielle was not carrying "the book" when she arrived at restaurant? She had a small purse
Caroline (in her blog) says there was a LOT we did not see-=so I can;'t wait until thursday

Caroline says she saved a lot of confrontation for the reunion show-ought to be GOOD!!!!

Boy did I even get hooked into this show. $$$ sure dont buy happiness.

But let me tell you Jacqueline lost all of my respect and Dina was right, she was two-faced about the situation. She should have been more honest with Danielle about it, she stood by Danielle and why did she get arrested? What did she get arrested for? Teresa is right there has got to be more about Danielle in that book then she is really saying.

But get over Dina seriously, I think she is jealous of her and wants to be like her. Showing her young girls those pictures of her when she was naked, that is uncalled for and ridiculous.

On the first show Jaqueline said that she was once arrested for fighting. I guess birds of a feather do flock together. Also lost respect for Jaquelines DH, telling Danielle that she is always welcomed into his home. (in front of his sisters) Why would anyone self respecting person WANT THAT? So much for the "My family is thick as thieves" motto...that lasted all of 2 minutes.

(ps I always thought it was way odd that he bought the DD the car too!)

Danielle is seriously one of the most twisted human beings I ever saw. Everytime she is starts something, and is confronted about it...She starts the tear works. My heart breaks for her DD's, she is not a mother...she is raising the girls to be her Backers. She portrays her life to them as a beautiful victim. Of course they believe it. Very sad & very disturbing.

A few shows back Danielle said Dina hates her because she "KNOWS way too much about Dina" Talk abou Deflect & Twist Reality.

I am sure that the book is 99.99% true. If is wasnt Daniell certainly would have sued her ex when it came out.

Just have to say my FAV person on the whole show was Lexi. Gotta love a girl who hords her Halloween candy!!!!!

 

[OhMari]

I thought Caroline and Teresa were sisters. Then Caroline said Dina was her sister. I was confused when Dina said she knew Teresa 15 years and she never saw her that angry.

Teresa had a right to be angry when Danielle talked down to her and asked her if she paid attention. Danielle wanted to be upset with someone and she took it out on Teresa. I think more things were said, and this made Teresa pick up the table.

Caroline admitted to taking the book along to some "gathering". Danielle was trying to say that Dina was showing the book to everyone and Caroline said it was her. Dina was probably "googling" Danielle and then found the book. Confused yet?

Caroline's husband was not at the dinner party, but earlier in the show, she and her husband took their dog a German Shepherd to a training class. She mentioned that her husband is gone a lot and they got the dog for her protection.

Very Observant!!!! You're right

 

[HighClass]

I also thought it terrible for Danielle not to IMMEDIATELY agree to let the little kids exit the room. The topic discussed was NOT for young children -at all. And for danielle to let her girls hear all that crap is terrible.

 

[jrmasm]

I can't believe anyone would say that any one of these women is worse then the others. They are all Red Hot Messes. Each is just as classless as the others.

Did you all realize who their friend with the dogs were. Bernard Kerick, former Police Commisioner in NYC, during 9/11. He was also President Bush's nominee to be US Secretary of Homeland Security. Then he withdrew and followed a series of Indictments.

Danielle was soooo delusional with her, "I just want to clear the air and get an apology" act. Really. And then she was belittling people, "I TOLD you" who didn't believe her, "Only two things were true, the arresting and the name change part." I don't think ANYONE believes that at ALL. And they had EVERY right to question her, she is someone who is around them and their children..IMO, anyone who is THAT defensive is LYING. But duh, of course she is lying (about how much, we don't know).

BTW, I think she is a horrible mother for subjecting her children to that dinner. Especially her 10 year old. You could tell how uncomfortable she was by the way she kept pacing around. I have a kid that age and I would NEVER do that. It's not right for a kid. And..kids should NOT be your best friends who you tell everything. That's not right. That's how a 14 year old thinks it's ok to give the goodies out.

I think Jacqueline should have dumped Danielle a long time ago, instead of causing friction with her family. It's not like Danielle's a prize.

 

[newtodis]

Wow...I dvr'd last night. Can't wait to catch up this weekend! And I'll have to set the dvr for the reunion!!

Danielle is a peice of work. However, Theresa didn't have a problem talking about sex in front of her 3 children who are under the age of 5. As much as I don't like Danielle and do like Theresa, I think that was Danielle's point.

I can't believe she whipped that book out. I LOVE Caroline! Good for her for sticking up for her sister! Jacqueline....don't know how I feel about her. She was definately a good friend to Danielle...who clearly doesn't have any, but lost respect for her throwing Dina under the bus.

That dinner was obviously set up by the show. Why on earth, in a real life situation, would Theresa have invited Danielle to dinner when she has been saying for weeks that she doesn't want to be involved with her and her drama. It only makes sense.

 

[Tomader]

I don't like Danielle at all. I think she is a horrible mother!!! I think those children she not be with her. What kind of a father do they have??? That women needs alot of help. The show has played on her problems to boost ratings. It seems it's at the expensive of her children. She is an adult she can deal with it but she is messing those kids up big time. I also have very little respect for the show. They set the whole thing in motion. The book and the dinner party. She was not invited because Theresa was being kind. It was all about ratings. They should have sent the invitation to her only. Leave the kids alone. The same should hold true for Jon and Kate. Leave the kids out of it!! I think Danielle is desperate for money. Why would someone with such a troubled past do a show like this???? It's all about the money. Caroline and Dina were pawns in the game. They just played their parts. I don't like the two of them either. I think the husbands think they are all nuts!

 

[SaraJayne]

Maybe it's just me, but as a grown woman, my family absolutely does NOT dictate who I may have as friends.

Good for Jacqueline for sticking up for Danielle. Not allowing people to have friends outside of family is bizarre and twisted. "She's either friends with us or Danielle, not both"....crazy.

I am so glad my life is happy and boring. I can't imagine how tiring all the drama is.

Yeah, it was so much better for Teresa's very small kids to see their mother throw around tables and have to be restrained by her husband.

Oh, you didn't hear? After Washington DC, they're considering a "Real Housewives of the DISBoards"
