Right? I mean, if you wanted it to be a 'snub' to Kim D, then the best snub is to not go at all. I don't even think Kim D noticed that Danielle was on the phone. "I'm gonna pretend like i'm on the phone"....how ridiculous. I bet when the 'friends' at her table heard that, knew there was something crazy about her.

ThetaDancer 06-30-2010 10:45 AM

It drives me crazy that Danielle uses "woman" like it's plural. It's like nails on a chalkboard every time she says "all those woman."

From what I read when earlier this year, nobody pulled a gun or knife but somebody thought Danielle pulled one. I believe this is what led Ashley to attack her.

However....based on the videos, Ashley attacked Danielle after the "she has a knife" was long over.

Watch what happens!

Danielle is certifiably nuts. I've noticed that someone will say something to her, and it's like she heard something completely different. She thinks everyone is out to get her. Also, she complains that she is broke and said she needs money for food, yet carries around how many different Chanel purses? One comment that really irked me was when she said something to the effect of "Oh, they only had non-professional models in this show, THAT'S why they didn't ask my daughter to be in it."

Her kids are going to be completely screwed up, if they aren't already. The older one is showing signs of delusion. She tells them details about her sex life, for pete's sake. There's just something wrong with that whole family unit.

LikeASista 07-02-2010 04:30 AM

Is it just me, or does it seem like Danielle is looking for every excuse to show sexuality this season? :confused: First, it was the whole "he videotaped me when I didn't know" thing; then there was the pole dancing for absolutely NO REASON WHATSOEVER that seemed SOOOOO staged; and then there was the whole breast alteration thing where she didn't mind flashing all of America with this mutilated breast. :eek: This woman, obviously, did NOT get enough attention as a child. :mad:

AnotherKD 07-02-2010 08:31 AM

I only have one positive thing to say about Danielle. If I could find those leather leggings that she was wearing with those boots in the last episode, I would get them in a heartbeat. The whole outfit, actually (with the shorter boots).

epchick 07-05-2010 08:17 PM

I just noticed that Theresa gave birth in Hackensack. I'm not really familiar with NJ geography, but I DO know that my stepdad's family is in the hackensack area. Maybe i'll see the RHONJ ladies when I go and visit.

AnotherKD 07-06-2010 10:31 AM

A friend of mine from college grew up in New Jersey, and she ended up having her wedding reception (about 5 years ago) at the Brownstone. I'm so jealous, haha!

Still BLUTANG 07-06-2010 03:16 PM

how long did they tape this season? was it like 2 weeks or 2 months?

i know the magic of editing and whatnot... but i feel like i'm watching danielle in the middle of a breakdown. i would hate to think she acted this way for months and months on end (although she's clearly BEEN crazy for a while)...

i hope the season was taped and wrapped quickly and we're just seeing the foolishness long and drawn out - if that makes sense.

I believe D has acted this way for years on end.

Answer to the question as to why Danielle was so definite and/or defensive that her boob job was a MEDICAL procedure and not cosmetic: So that her medical insurance would pay a major part of the procedure and she could, if she is able to depending on income etc. write off the rest of it on her income tax.

Not for nothing do I live in SoCal.

And, the salary difference is because Jill (and I believe the rest of the RHNYC) have better lawyers.

I love Caroline. Her speech to her son (the one with learning disabilities) should be the played for every kid who has to fight learning challenges if their parents aren't able to do it.

(Don't particularly like/watch OC and Atlanta....but these two shows...uh yes!)

And the reason that RHNYC is introducing new women as tryouts is because Bethenny is leaving the show to do her own show.

Jimmy Choo 07-12-2010 01:06 AM

I'm so hooked on this show...I can't wait until tomorrow night!!

ThetaDancer 07-12-2010 10:53 PM

Yikes. Tonight's episode was like the NY episode when Kelly had a complete meltdown, in that I almost feel like it's inappropriate for a reality show [disclaimer: I still watched it!].

I feel like I'm watching someone have a complete mental breakdown and I'm wrestling with whether I should be watching this on tv for entertainment. Danielle shouldn't be a cast member on a show like this; she's not mentally or emotionally healthy at all. When she started talking about how the other women were on a mission to "kill Danielle" I just kept thinking of when Kelly thought Bethenny was coming after her.

Please note: Danielle has appeared, quite gleefully (pun possibly intended: see below) in the Watch What Happens this season. Kelly didn't appear in a Watch episode, and was quite subdued during the Reunion epsiodes. Danielle promoed her song, which was (contrary to her behavior in this and other seasons) had, as I understand it, lesbian overtones. (I haven't stayed awake long enough to watch the dvr'd episode.) The NJ was filmed months ago, so Danielle has made a remarkable recovery.

Danielle is probably crazy, or at least borderline. But she is great TV and she knows it. Reality is personality driven and the ratings are excellent. So, I can't wait to see tonight's episode.

I feel the sorriest for her kids. I can't wait for their book.:D

I also got the whole "should I be watching this" feeling, but I watched it anyways! lol

The idea that Danielle actually was supposedly fainting and couldn't walk out of FEAR, is insane! She's insane! Yeah Teresa could have been a little instigator (although I'm very much like Teresa, I would have done it all---even walking to Danielle's car), but it wasn't like she had even laid a hand on Danielle. Danielle just ran away for nothing.

OMG Ashley pulled on her hair, no I don't believe that Ashley pulled out that chunk of hair, because umm.....when someone pulls out your hair, usually THEY have it, not you. So I don't buy the whole "this is the hair that Ashley pulled out." Besides I don't think extensions count as 'your' hair.

The whole knife/9 mm was a "wah wah waaaaah" moment...kinda disappointed in that, but what followed was more than enough entertainment for me. lol

PM_Mama00 07-13-2010 09:46 AM

I laughed through this whole episode.

And I understand Ashley being upset with Jacquelyn. She's a teenager. She wants to know that what she did was right and good but in reality it wasn't. (although I laughed my ass off) I'm sure deep down inside Jacquelyn is laughing too.

Katmandu 07-13-2010 01:12 PM

Ashley is remarkably like Danielle... drama oriented, prone to violence, hears what she wants to hear, and completely narcissistic. They are soulmates, if they but knew it.

Teresa definitely instigated a little. Her line, "I'm so nice. I'm the most polite person. I'm like that, I'm kind..." is hilarious, but BS. I love her, but a sainted peacemaker, she ain't.

Caroline is really pretty this season...hair, makeup and clothing all works really well!

ellebud 07-13-2010 01:26 PM

...except that Ashley is 18 and an adolesent. She will, hopefully, mature.

Katmandu 07-13-2010 02:05 PM

^^^
Absolutely true. Ashley has the excuse of youth and immaturity. Danielle has....

You raise an excellent point!! I never thought of it like that. This is all about making sure someone ELSE pays her medical bills. Danielle is such an attention whore! It seemed like she kept trying to make every little thing larger than what it was: "Get her away from me! ... I can't move!! ... I was attacked!! ... She pulled my hair and now my neck hurts, ... I have trouble turning my neck now ... I can't look up anymore ..." or whatever the hell she was screaming. Now it all makes sense!

I just stood there in my tracks, unable to move, as these grown a$$ women showed the entire nation how childish they are. I mean, Teresa knows good and doggone well she did NOT just HAVE to "say hello" to Danielle. It seemed very orchestrated. She KNEW it would cause drama, ... especially with all the neck rolling and the finger waving. I mean, are you SERIOUS?!?! It was like a scene from Jerry Springer! :mad: I have a sneaky suspicion her house might be going into foreclosure after all, because, although she denied it, Teresa had a difficult time shielding what looked to be a very embarassed smile as she yelled "No it's not!!!" at Danielle. And why was her story so choppy and inaccurate as she told her husband the course of events which took place? I can probably credit (or blame) the producers due to any editing done.

I'm still laughing at the "brutha" who made the comment to Teresa, "Alright, now, wait a minute now ... You comin' close to a Bentley now, ... I don't need you messin' up THAT ..." LOLOLOL!! :D ~sweeeeeeeeet~

Oh, yeah, ... and Ashley needs her a$$ beat. :mad: This girl needs some drama in her life by any means necessary because she has absolutely no life. :rolleyes:

LXA SE285 07-13-2010 05:54 PM

Danielle: "Don't call me 'honey.' "

Teresa: "How about 'bitch'? Is 'bitch' better?"

Benzgirl 07-13-2010 06:29 PM

Can somebody give Teresa an English lesson?
"Re-renovated", and the repeated, "Ain't I".


(Sen, you available?)

ellebud 07-13-2010 06:47 PM

Did anyone else notice that when Danielle called 911 she announced, "This is Danielle Staub!"...uhm, I'm sorry. If I had to call 911, God Forbid, and I said, "This is Ellebud,"
they wouldn't have a clue as to who I am. She must have a direct line to the precinct..or she doesn't remember that she is "just" on a reality show which doesn't have the ratings or the viewership that would appeal to police. Or, maybe she just keeps calling them.

and how about the way she said cleavage. 'cleavlage' or something or other..

Jimmy Choo 07-13-2010 08:22 PM

Something about last night's episode just doesn't sit right with me. It was nice to read the Bravo boards and other stuff on the internet that helped me not feel as crazy.

1) If Ashley ripped out her weave why didn't she still have it? That girl's so attention hungry she would have been carrying it around begging people to look at it.
2) If Ashley pulled out D's real hair why wasn't D's head bleeding like crazy? That clump Danielle showed was huge! That should have come with mass quantities of blood. Head wounds bleed like crazy. I tripped over my cat one day, knicked the kitchen counter and until it stopped bleeding I had to wonder did I split my head wide open.
3) The clump of hair D showed in her interview wasn't even the same color as her hair!!!
4) As attention hungry as Danielle is why wouldn't she show the bald spot caused by the hair ripping? You really want the pity? Show people the bald patch.
5) To get that much hair Ashley would have had to yanked with two hands and some massive strength. She just walked up and yanked quickly with one hand. I don't see how she did that much damage? I'm sad to say I've been in a fight where I did pull hair and I was pulling with all my might and never did that!
6) Seriously? She has face,nerve and neck damage from a weave pull!!??

Well the fashion show was in Wayne where Danielle lives. Jacqueline also said (in the episode) that this wasnt the first time the police have dealt with "Danielle drama" so i think that when she said who she was the police thought 'ah shit, what does she want this time.'

I did know she messsed up cleavage, but couldn't remember what it was. I also couldn't figure out if she was being Mrs. Ignatowski or if she was drunk.

No, she had hea/neck damage due to sue happy syndrom. Unfortunately for Danielle, Ashley is 18 and doesn't have assets. If she were 17...cah ching.

Yes, there would have been blood. My daughter cut her head a tiny amount bumping into an open upper cabinet door. It was a bloodbath.

Why didn't Ashley have the hair...because as wrong as Ashley was to pull the hair, no question....we all know the answer: Danielle probably pulled it out herself.

Jimmy Choo 07-14-2010 12:07 AM

Shew! Good to know I'm not the only person who thinks D blew that situation out of proportion!

Benzgirl 07-14-2010 07:34 PM

I will never call anyone "Honey" again. Look at what might happen.

ThetaDancer 07-19-2010 11:45 PM

My favorite line of the night: "The only thing I regret was pushing Kim G. because she is an older woman and I do respect the elderly."

LikeASista 07-19-2010 11:56 PM

I still haven't gotten over last week's episode when Danielle went yelling, "Kim, no, ... Kim, no ... [to the driver] Don't let Kim hit her, ... Don't let Kim HIT HER!!" Is she that delusional to think someone would actually hit another human being over her? Gimme a break. What a drama whore.

ellebud 07-20-2010 12:12 AM

I am so ashamed....I have tonight's episode on dvr. I need some quiet me time to enjoy it.

You've never made up a word? My friends and I say cleavlage all the time. Just like the NJ Housewives say "bubbies" instead of "boobies". My god you guys want to nitpick on the stupidest things.

AnotherKD 07-21-2010 08:31 AM

I thought it was hilarious when Danielle was speaking with her lawyer before going into court, telling them that she heard the other women calling her names, saying "Get her, get her!", and saying that they would kill her. When the lawyers asked Kim G. and those other beat-up socialites if they heard the same thing, they were like... uh... well... we heard them calling her names...

Danielle said it was scary that a 19-year-old was doing such things, like pulling hair. But then later in the episode, she mentions that she was only 3 years older when she was arrested. And she was arrested for what, kidnapping? Drug charges? Pistol-whipping someone? And before/while she was doing these things, she was a stripper? She is a delusional hypocrite.

And her Danny friend is sketchy as all hell. She MUST be sleeping with him- why else would he sit and listen to her bitch and moan about all of this stuff all of the damn time??

LOL. I can see why Danielle(sp) felt she was being patronized or talked down to. I translated the "honey" in that instance to mean "look here, crazy bitch, calm down...I'm trying to be nice."

rant/

I always hated pet names (not to be confused with nicknames). If you (in general) aren't my parents or my significant other, don't call me "honey," "sweetie," "baby," or any derivative. It will change the nature of the interaction. Depending on the context and especially if you're a man, I will pause and will most likely politely tell you to not to call me that. I have had verbal altercations with men who had dumb responses like "what woman doesn't like being called 'sweetie?!' You must not like men."

/rant

DrPhil 07-21-2010 11:51 AM

I hate what's-her-name's annoying and dumb teenage daughter. The one who pulled Danielle's hair. I understand defending your family but a child should never have intervened.

Besides, our parents know how to defend themselves and battle their peers. We don't need to battle their peers.

ellebud 07-21-2010 01:36 PM

Honey is a very useful word: When one is having a senior moment and you don't remember a name...Honey or Sweetie or Darling work well. I don't use them, I just leave a blank and pray that someone else does the introductions.

But OMG what an episode. Poor Danielle (re the lawsuit)! The problem with her being on a 24/7 realityshow: Opposing counsel will subpoena all the footage. Other than the hair pull (which is not a good thing) her lawsuit could be thrown out of court. And the girls could sue for attorney's fees if she is lying. OH the DRAMA!!!!

I love the respecting the elderly...I guess that I qualify.
