Hi, everyone!

Here we are at episode four! I want to thank all of those who have given me their unconditional love and understanding, and who relate to my position as a single women, mother, ex-wife, and friend. I can’t tell you how important it is for me to hear your positive comments, and your recognition of how wonderful my children are. Thank you for not judging me for being myself. In this letter I will do my best to clear up a few important issues, and some rumors about me. However, I will not tell my whole story here, but I will on a different platform very soon. Number one - over two and a half decades ago I was arrested. I was just a child, with no guidance or parents to speak of, in an industry that was very fast paced. I got in with the wrong crowd, and was not completely aware of the serious nature of my surroundings. I did not kidnap anyone. I am not a prostitute. I was merely at the wrong place with the wrong people at the wrong time. I apologize for being vague, but this is all I can reveal at this time.

I would also like to address to dancing portion of the show. I love to dance - it is my form of artistry. I have taken dance since I was a small child, and taken jazz through my adult years. A dance floor to me is what a canvas is to a painter. It is where I feel most free to express myself without words. I apologize if I misinterpreted the meaning of our dance that evening, and furthermore if I offended anyone. I was just having fun like everyone else, but perhaps I was taking it too seriously, because I have always wanted to learn Latin dancing. I would like to personally say I am sorry to Albie in particular - if you felt I was a bit to much, I promise that was not my intent.

Danielle,
I think you are a beautiful and stong woman and whatever happened in your past (whether good or bad) is none of anyone's business! People who are insecure about themselves try to tear others down. Don't let those girls get to you! You are an inspiration to all women to overcome adversity. Take care!

You are my fav housewife. It was totally wrong how you were treated. Especially in front of your children. Keep your head up high. You shouldn't have to explain anything about your pass. We have all made mistakes. Any one who judges you for your past is just trashy.

Danielle,

You are a wonderful woman. You are 100% real. I could tell their were times you wanted to get ghetto fab, but you held your composure. Where I come from, women do not flip tables. We may flip another woman, but a table? Come on now....lol. Everyone has a past. I have been trying to figure out why Dina would think you were jealous of her? I look at you and then Dina, I still don't get it. You are one of my fav's on the show, and I don't have many.

Sending much Luv from AZ.

I think you have come a long way baby! Just tone it down a bit. When you you become dramatic, you overshadow the others in a negative way. so if you tone it down a bit, they will get all the negative coverage.

Danielle,
past is past everyone should move on in my eyes this is no big deal, but the real problem is you not leading a
productive life working out and plastic surgery is not
everything, work part time help out in the soup kitchen
serving the poor contribute give of yourself do something
and the Drama will end.

I know I'm a little late to comment but I just got done watching a re-run of the episode! A lot of my family is from Jersey and I have to say, Teresa did handle it the Jersey way! I don't think you should have brought the book to her dinner party! I also think that your daughters shouldn't have been there! Glad your daughters do stick up for you though. If you wanted to converse the situation you should have invited everyone yourself, not someone else's party!!! In a way I do think you deserve what you got, but then again, ehh, I'm not to sure what to think about the situation myself! You handled the problem in a good way- I guess. Well, thanks for taking your time to read my post and I will keep watching! :)

Wow !! What an impressive survivor you are. I think you have left beinng a victim far behind in terms of who you are today. It is not possible to forget the things that happen to us as children It becomes part of our hard wire, The progress we make, with the knowledge about our past,is the soft ware we add to our present.

When you try and explain some of your behaviour and needs,based on your past, it is not done so as to make excuses. It is providing information for the listener to intergrate into their perceptions of who you are today.

The listener has to be an intelligent compassionate and non judgemental person to hear your story and learn about your makeup today. I didn't see anyone in the Italian family very capable of doing so. I think you may ahve one person who is perhaps a candidate and it would surprise you if I said who i thought that would be. I will hope the best for you and your new life.

Hi Danielle!
I just finished watching the second part of the reunion and I'm stuck and unsatisfied as to what Caroline was talking about? I'm not sure if we will ever know, but I want to let you know that no matter what you've done throughout the show you've really kept your head up and have been really strong. It really broke my heart to hear about your past and I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that but I want you to know I'm on your side! It takes guts to apologize for everything on national tv and to tell the whole world about your past life. I hope all goes well for your and wish you the best of luck, you are an amazing woman. Can't wait for season 2!

Hi Danielle I just want to say that I believe you. I believe you are telling the truth and the whole truth about the book. Now that you have shed some light on your abusive past, I find what you have to say to be true. I was in an abusive relationship also, and my partner after I left him, told viscious lies and mean things about me, he even succeeded at getting my fired from my job. I too grew up in an abusive home and your story falls in line with many women I know who have backgrounds like ours. I see you as a defensive woman and maybe this man has turned you out to be. But there is hope. I am a christian woman now and my faith and hope comes from God. And just like you I would look at other people and long for a family like theirs. But I learned the hard way. That family you so desire to be apart of has their skeletons also. Never covet what someone else has it always turns out for the worst. I will say I am proud of you for standing up for yourself when you were ganged up on. I pray that you find peace and know that you are loved unconditionally more than you ever think or even imagine. God will make a way for you if you trust Him God bless!

Danielle,
Something awful happened to you I do believe that. When we are children we have no choice as adults we do. Your move upward has only been geography from what I have seen on the show you have not defined yourself yet. Your explanation on this is "I am a victim" a victim is something you choose to be. You have children, daughters Danielle a girl who is watching you define . yourself through men in the most disgusting and demeaning way. Change Danielle, change for your daughter stop the excuses, lies and self pity focus on being more drama brings trauma and people can choose not to be around it

Daniell: I give you all the credit in the world for what you did. You stand up to what you belive in and didn't back down. The past in the past and it should stay there. Everyone does make mistake and if anyone tell you different they are the one who is lying. I don't blame you at all for bring the book there because that is the only chance you had with everyone there. You are a very brave person. Dina need to get a life and also her sister. If Dina say she doesn't care and then why does she always talk about it. You are so right about something else. That family need to let other people have friend outside the family. You are the victim and they shouldn't treat you that way. Like I said that past in the past and it should stay that way. Enjoy you kids and I really hope that you find that love. Keep your head up and stay strong.

Chica, keep your head up and stop trying to be friends with people who dont like you. When someone doesnt like you anything you do make them hate you even more, regardless if it's negative or positive.
One thing to remember, when a woman is beautiful everywhere you go you have haters. Get used to it. They honestly hate you because they're so jealous of you. You're tall and beautiful and THEY'RE NOT!!!!

GO MAKE NEW FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Danielle-
WE LOVE YOU! Both my partner, Shane, and I watched NJ Housewives regularly. We often felt that you were singled out...there was no one else for them to project their negativity on. You are beautiful & you make us laugh! Hold your head up. Thank you also for taking a stand when Teresa's husband threw the word "Gay" around like it was something bad. That means a lot to our community across the country. We found it very offensive, and we thank you for being the one person who had the "balls" to say something. Please don't let that family's drama make you feel worse of yourself. You are beautiful & you have a lot to offer. I hope your good friendship with Jacqueline can be preserved, but as for the rest of them... F#(K THOSE BITCHES!

If others felt uncomfortable about the book, they should have approached you individually and asked about it. From there made a decision whether they want to continue a friendship or not. The way the other ladies dealt with everything was very childish.

Danielle, when I watch the show I often find myself frustrated, not with you, but with the way you allow people to treat you. You're gorgeous and strong and your heart is in the right place, but why, Danielle? Why do you let them treat you like this? The men, the other women, the guy you dated. I'm appalled by the way you seem desperate for the attention of people who refuse to understand anything about you or your past -- why are you selling yourself short? You're better than that, and you're more complicated, deep, and passionate than your Jersey-girl facade lets on.

My darling Danielle, I have watched every episode of Jersey Housewives, every time it is on. I just wanted to let you know that I am totally in LOVE with you. Don't get me wrong...not in a sexual way....but in the way that a woman can love other women as a great friend!!!!!! Just from watching the show I feel so close to you.... I sometimes sit and cry for you as my heart breaks when I see the tremendous hurt in your eyes. I am a 55 yr old married mom of four, and yet I wish I could be your Caroline! You work so hard to raise your girls with the mannors and ethics that you do I have such respect for you! My mom was a single mom with no help either so I KNOW it's not easy. I can also sympathasize with your feelings about "The BOOK" I also did ALOT in my younger days ...but Thank God no one wrote about it! Because sweetie all I can say is "There but for the grace of God go I" I have not read your book nor do I wish to, I have much better things to do with my time than read shit about someones youthfull mistakes! The way I look at life is that we all pay our dues in some way or other and its no ones damn business how we do it!!! I want to know what the rest of the girls did in their past...hmmmm betcha that would make some book... HUH???? In closing I don't know if you really read these comments.... I hope with all my heart you do and maybe you will see mine and know that there is a "Jersey Housewife" out there that is offering her unconditional friendship and love!!!!! I think YOU ARE GREAT!!!!! YOU GO GIRL !!!!KEEP THE FAITH!! AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!!! Danielle you remember to always hold your head high....you have earned the utmost respect and don't ever let anyone tell otherwise!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR GIRLS ALWAYS...............Your friend, (I hope to become) Love Hugs and Kisses,Irene

Danielle,
I honestly believe in Dina. I also think it was wrong of you to bring that book to that nice classy dinner. But it was your choice and you wanted to tell them the truth. But like Theresa said there had to be more that just getting arrested and changing your name. It was wrong of you to bring that book to the dinner and that is all I am going to say. Good luck at the reunion.

Danielle, you are the TRUE Diva of the show, and i say that with all the respect in the world AND the Theresa, Dina and Caroline are phony and mad that they can't be as confident and REAL as you. You are a stand-up woman and should not apologize for anything you did on the show. Theresa is mad b/c she really wasn't paying attention, Caroline is mad b/c she's boring, Dina is mad b/c her husband is never around. I also loved how Jaqueline and her huband had your back, that is b/c they are both principled individuals. I can't say the same for the others. YOU GO GIRL, you are an inspiration to women all over.

You should not have done that at a FAMILY get-together. OT was not the right time to do that--at all. You could have waited for a different occasion, with dignity. I understand that what was done is not tasteful at all, but you have to understand as well that they are family and FAMILY will always come first. You look like a wonderful mother and it is good you don't take any BS from anyone! But I'm just saying there is a place and time for that. Respecting Teresa's gathering is what you should have done.

Everyone has a past and noone but God can judge u. However I believe you have the right to defend yourself if you feel the need, but there is a time and a place for everything. You were out of line for bringing the book to dinner with all the kids and people around who weren't involved. It just wasn't right and you need to learn to be the bigger person sometimes and handle situations accordingly.

I don't know who people think they are making such judgements of others. I mean really are any of us perfect. My favorite part is when Dina said she would not know someone who knows someone like that. Are you serious-you must be in serious denial women - everyone knows someone that has some kind of checkered past. Dina must be a Saint as well as her sister - who wants to investigate everyone in her circle. Maybe you all need to further investigate your hearts and watch your tongues for that is the most dangerous of all.

Danielle, you should have told your new circle about your past and given them the chance to accept you. You pushed yourself off on others regardless of the circumstances preceding. That's life, you choose your friends not your family. By the way, I would have given you a chance despite the fact.

You're the only housewife I can tolerate. I can't believe the other housewives are holding things against you that you were obviously involved in when you were addicted to cocaine. Maybe you should clear the air and discuss your path to recovery; you could serve as an inspiration to others who are struggling with addiction.

Kudos to you for standing up to Teresa's ignorant husband and his ignorant comments. Way to bring that whole group into the 21st Century! Thumbs DOWN to Bravo for making it seem like your dear friend Tommy is the latest version of a purse dog, that is, every beautiful woman needs a token gay friend.

Danielle~ I would have more trust with you as a friend than I would with the others. In particular, Dina and Caroline both seem to be soooo cold, judgmental and unbelievably controlling. I wonder what's in their background that would humiliate them should it ever come out? They are now trying to control Jaqueline in stopping her friendship with you. If Jacqueline isn't careful, they will control her entire life. Good God, if I ever met someone who said "I dislike you before I like you," I'd run screaming the other way. Dina's husband isn't around, her daughter comes off as a spoiled snot, and Caroline's relationship with her children seems contrived and false. I like your relationship with your children. The thing is, though, you have got to stop obsessing about having a man in your life to take care of you. I agree with the other comments that you have to take care of yourself and your children first. You are never going to get anything positive from the mob ladies, so you should give up on trying. The trailer of Theresa having a temper fit and overturning a table and then gets choked by her husband to control her (that's what it looks like), is very troubling to say the least. She does this in front of everyone's children? Has she no shame, or is she just so out of control. She, Caroline and Dina sicken me. It's so hard to watch them. Not sure if I'll tune in next week.

Take care. Remember -- classiness comes from within, and Dina, Caroline and Theresa have shown they have none!

I believe everyone has a past and I highly doubt everyone on the show has a squeaky clean past...Ok fine your past has been not so great, but people change and you move on.I think they are being a little mean, because its truely none of their business.Now i really think you need to stop looking for that guy to take care of you ,because that guy may never come along.I think you should focus on your daughters because they are smarter than you think especially when your eldest mentioned "guys only want your goodies..." which she was absolutely right and i truely think you realized that when she said it to you.I think they hurt when they see you hurt.Prepare yourself with an education to take care of yourself and your daughter, because you truely are a smart woman. God Bless

10 commandments

1. Sell the house
2. Move into a normal area of Jersey where there are people who don't live in a "fantasy world"
3. Find new friends
4. Spend quality time with your daughter's
5. Don't look for love, it will come to you.
6. Don't speak to your daughters about every detail of your "love life"
7. Cut bad spending habits
8. Don't live in the past, only the present and future
9. If something is not important in your life (i.e. Dina) do not speak or think of it.
10. If you talk about someone over and over again, it shows you are concerned. Be concerned with what matters.

Follow these 10 items, and you will find yourself on the road to recovery.

Good Luck.

Danielle,
The show seems to be based on 4 against 1 They are portraying more on the family instead of 5 friends.. I feel for you. You have a tough battle ahead of you. Keep your spirits up as well as your guard... Out of the entire group the most artificial person is Dina.. She looks like the type that would cause trouble...She is definaltely coming off as pure trailer trash with money.... Flick her off your shoulder like a fly... she is not worth the drama....

Danielle-

I just want to say keep your head up and be strong. And remember most of all your daughters are the most important thing in your life. I am a single mother myself and I understand what you are going through. We all make mistakes and sometimes not the best desicions in our lives. So it is no one's place on this earth to judge what you have done or what you are doing. It is so hard not to stoop down to other's levels when they are attacking you. I would just say do you and worry about you. And stop telling them all your business, because that can cause a problem too. Sometimes people will act like they care just to know what is going on in your life. But this is to all the ladies, can we please act like ladies on tv and not be so vindictive towards each other. Life is hard enough as it is, to have such backbiting and highschool mess in our adult lives. I have been through it and it is beyond stupid and looking back I sit and wish there was another way I could have handled it. I just pray that you stay encouraged and do what is best for you and your children. God Bless!

Wow, I cannot believe that I would write on a television blog site.It so unlike me.But I also have been seeing very hard times, in life as well.Listen Ms.Danielle...I was a high fashion print model and television actor for years, and people were quite horrific and misinformed about my past and life.They love to judge. From what I can see? You are a very honest and courageous woman. I do not tune into television much but enjoy tuning in to your show to see what is up? I find that you are refreshing as a human being.Very much as I used to be.Until I lost my balls, so to speak.Peace and strength for your journey.You will come out the winner soon, I feel!

You said yourself you have no money, no hubby, about to lose your house, you say you tried to pay a personal trainer with sex and you screwed up your face with all the crap you had done to it. Stop being such a whore.
Everything about you is horrible from your plastic face and boobs to your lack of a personality , Stop being the victim it's so pathetic grow up.

D-,
I'm not much younger than you, but the way they portray you on this show is so unfair! You have two daughters, as do I, and this show makes you look like a gold digger, as do many of my friends. I have twins, who are 12, going on 20, and I know it's hard. I am told that I should not settle because I am pretty, skinny, and have been told I should model. I have been trying to get my settlement from my Ex, but now he's claiming to be almost bankrupt, which I know is not true, as he has a new girlfriend, with three new daughters, and he seems to have enought money for them.

You were the only mother on the show I saw spending quality time with your kids. There also the only kids on the show that appear not to be spoiled brats. So you are doing something right.
I think it's disgusting the way the other ladies are ganging up on you.

I am so glad to see all of the nice things that people do say to Danielle because the rest of you people have some nerve (negative cast members included) being as mean, judgmental and cruel as you are. Danielle you are a little dramatic at times but that just may be part of who you are and you seem to really love you and your girls, and that is an admirable quality in my book! I also enjoy your honesty about what kind of man you want (one with a little dough!) I wish I had the courage to be that frank and furthermore it's not like any of those other "housewives" are self-made. They have what they have because of their husbands.
I am glad that you do you!

Danielle- I feel sick to my stomach whenever I watch the show and see what a fool you make of yourself. Stop chasing around young men that don't want to pay for your materialistic so called life. You need to allow your kids to be kids and stop worrying about your love life all the time!!! YUCK!!!! Shame on you! Stop making comments about everyone else and take a look in the mirror!

Danielle,

Why haven't you hired an attorney to settle your divorce?

Also, children learn what they live. What are they learning from they way mean treat you? Why do you believe you deserve crumbs from the dogs? You sleep w/dogs, you get fleas. People treat you the way you allow them to.

I will pray for you.

Danielle, I've watched some of your interivews on Today and on-line. You dont come off as crazy as you do in the show, now before i hear "its all about the editing"

i think you need to learn to SELF EDIT. Involving your children in your dating life- not necessary. Trying to Pit sister in laws together- WRONG...

GO BACK TO SCHOOL- get a degree and make a living your girls can be proud of- stop saying you need rescuing - please on behalf of all women out there- sell the big house- get a condo and put hte cash in the bank to pay for college - your ex- it sounds is better gone... do for yourself life is too short

Please get a job and learn to count on yourself instead of someone else all the time. Your girls will respect you more for it in the long run. Good luck.

Hi Danielle

I am definitely feeling bad for you after watching this past week's episode. Its abundantly clear that all the other ladies are not going to cut you a break (deserved or not). I do have to say this though - sure, everyone has a past, but the allegations in that book are far beyond what most people consider an "indiscretion of youth". I'm sure there was some fabrications made here, but my point is this - you are not doing anything for yourself to give people a reason to doubt these allegations or give you a chance. Your obsession with finding a rich man to take care of you (shows you think the world owes you something), your inability to take other's advice (without immediately becoming violently defensive), and your innapropriate behavior surrounding your openness about your sex life (takes a huge hit on your level of classiness) are all reasons that make people think that you are not a moral person and shouldn't be trusted. You seem like a very passionate person who is a good mother, but you should really start taking some personal accountability for your actions and more importantly, change the things that are bringing you down.

You were right - you are a mother and that should be the #1 priority in your life, but it seems that you are constantly blaming others for the bad things in your life. Even if Dina did circulate that book (which I don't think is the case), what makes you think that its her fault that you're in it? Bottom line is that you should not be on a reality show if you're concerned that something in your past may come up (true or not true). I truly hope that you are vindicated of all these horrible allegations because you're right - you should be able to put the past in the past. Just try to make some positive changes in your life now that will allow that to happen.

Seriously! You really need to get over yourself and stop playing like your a damn vicitim. Did you really think after going on a "reality show" that all the skeletons in your closet weren't going to come out. Grow up already!

Danielle,
First let me say YOU ARE THE WOMAN! You are a strong independent woman who has overcome a lot. And I completely understand that things happen in the past and I feel that you have moved on and moved up and if the rest of those robots cant see that then well you know where they can go :)
Don’t feel the need to explain yourself, dangerous people belong in jail and apparently you are not there so let it roll off your back.
Also, you have been such a lady when it comes to Dina, because I may have decked her by now, but I shouldn’t say that too openly because the Mafia of housewives may come after me (just kidding) but seriously they are too intense.
Finally, I applaud that you take dancing so seriously, because it is something you are passionate about they should have respected that! How would they feel if you made fun of their business or something they were passionate about, they would probably have you whacked. Sorry about the constant mafia jabs, but they just are so Soprano to me, it's creepy! But good luck in life and I hope you get everything you deserve!!!!

Hi Danielle,
I feel so bad for you having to put up with that family. You can tell Jacquline is not blood related. I also blogged dina,told her what goes around comes around!!!
You rocked on the dance episode. I think caroline and dina are jealous, I dont think caroline could lift her legs that high!!Dont let them get to you. Your kids seem like wonderful young ladies, not like teresa kids who seem to be well on the way to living a self abosrbed life.
Best of Luck

We all have a past...I agree...but not many ppl have a SORDID past as yours. You went on a reality show and put your kids in harms way. That was irresponsible of you. You are obsessed with Dina and I find it revolting. Get a job and stand up on your own two feet and stop blaming everyone else for the many mistakes you make in your life. It is amazing your children have turned out as well as they have.

Dear Danielle, After seeing the episode of " The Book" I almost threw up with Teresa, and Caroline sensationalizing this so called book. All I have to say is the one without sin cast the first stone! These idiots are are discrediting you for what happened so many years ago. Who the hell hasn't made stupid mistakes in their youth? These women aren't your friends and never will be. Teresa has said crude things about you from the begining and continues. Stop your relationship with that woman and reveal nothing to them. I loved Tommy he appears to be a sweetheart! These are the type of friends to associate with not with the trailor trash like Teresa and Dina. Your girls are just precious and they are part of you. I loved that the three of you run and exercise together that was heart warming. You are an inspiration to them don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I will continue to defend you and your character as you seem to be the only honest castmember. About the dance lesson I didn't see you being inappropriate in any shape or form. If Caroline feels her son needs his mommy let her continue to baby her grown adults! Shame on her!

Danielle,

All I have to say, is wel all have "skeletons in our closet". I find it hard to believe that not one of your cast mates, do not have a secret, in which they hope to take "to the grave". That is why I try to never judge people for their past.
Focus on what you are now, a beautiful, loving , wonderful mother(imo).
All the best to you. Keep it positive. Don't allow negativity get to you.

You had to know when you signed up to do a reality TV show that all of this drama with the book would come out. Stop being the victim. You should have told everyone about the book and owned it. There would have been no drama then. But that's what you live for I guess.

Danielle,

Drama follows you like "white on rice during a winter storm" it is simply amazing. But I know a thing or two about drama following you. You're a woman who gives her all to the people u care about in your life and I find that absolutely amazing. I love you and jacqueline on the show your friendship dynamics is awesome. Love it. Keep her close I must say you chose right.

as far as the men, slow down a little okay. Don't go man crazy and don't let your girls meet them. cuz although u want them involved in every aspect of your life it hurts them to some degree.

Dina, Dina yes she's always been that crazy did anyone watch Platinum wEddings on WETV she is that mean.

Hi Danielle,
I've watched the last couple of episodes with the housewives and I must say that by far, the NJ wives are interesting to say the least. I have critiques for everyone, but I feel that yours is most crucial - Don't Be So Defensive! Listen carefully to what is being said to you first, then react ~if necessary! Not all comments or opinions are worth addressing. You're very intelligent - use that to your advantage. Good luck from the south!

Have you had a professional study them on film?

Good Luck Girl......

Danielle my dear,
I cannot wrap my brain around what you must have gone through as well as what you have gone through with the show. I will not say that I understand, because I do not and I know each situation is different and should be addressed with respect and concern. I must admit that the RHW of New York, Atlanta, and OC drive me insane and I have decided to only watch this show. I myself do not understand Dina. Is it for the show or is she really that awful? I was watching the episode where she made the comment "What? Does she want to skin me and wear me?" I thought no she has better taste, Danielle knows badly tanned leather is out of style! The rest of the cast is ok in my book, however, my heart breaks for you. I do not know about others but i see the person that tries so hard to be a good friend and a good person. Don't give in and keep your head high. I think the others will come to see that you are trying to be civil and make peace with everyone. You are doing the respectful and mature thing. As far as the dance episode....maybe a little overprotective momma drama but it is understandable. I thought nothing wrong of what you did in that episode. They wanted to "learn" the dance but left knowing no more than they did when they walked in. Anyway, I will go now. Have a wonderful week and God Bless!

Danielle, stay strong, and keep that strong self esteem that you have... I'm sorry these other housewives are the most tackiest of all the housewives.. Sure they may have the money but are very poor when it comes to having any class.

Television airs out anyone's dirty laundry. Once someone knows your name they have the ability to use the internet to find any and everything about you. Is it that hard to believe that this book and these stories (true or false) were revealed? As a mother it is your duty to protect your family from the embarrassment that has hurt you. Maybe a reality show wasn't the wisest decision. Is entertainment for the masses really worth discrediting your name and putting your children in an uncomfortable position?

Dainelle,

I wish people would realize that we all make mistakes in life. And yes, while we may overcome them, sometimes they come back to bit us in the arse as had happened to you.
I think you are a wonderful woman, mom and would be freind, if anyone would give you a chance to be.I know that I certaily have things in my past that I pray to God my 4 children never find out about. I'm a good mom and person and would hate to be judged for mistakes I made a lifetime ago. All that matters is the person we have become and the lessons that we learned.
the only thing I can say is try to find a way to still be you, but a little bit less in your face, if you know what I mean. Maybe a bit softer to draw people in.
With all the disrespect and attitude I see thrown at you, I know you will be alright. The one thing you can always count on is yourself, and you're a tough woman who will not crumble. Keep your chin up.

Wow, who are all these stupid women offering support for you? You're kind of scarey and obviously have some major issues. But Jacqueline, OMG! She's got to be the most insecure spineless jellyfish of the lot of you. That she puts up with you for one second is a real character flaw.

Danielle I really like you And I feel the other ladies are have not given you a fair chance I thought I was very nice piece offering you gave when you invited those PETTY ASS women into you house after you knew there were issues with at least one of them (Dina) I thought you took the high road, And as far as your past it's just that your past you should not have to explain anything to them there is no danger to them at all there is more danger for Teresa walking around with a purse full of money like she does.. they're are looking for a reason to just be mean...I like Jaqueline but don't trust her she is afraid of the big bad wolf (caroline), who is so boring...you just keep doing you and don't let them get to you...

All the best..

It's me again, Keep your chin up, I hope all of this nonsense has blown over by now. I think they don't care for you because you're different, out going, and say whats on your mind and heart. One thing, please stop acting like the NUTTY PROFESSOR, you don't need all that negitive attention ,and as much as you think you need a man, you don't and until you find the right one thats good for all three of you, love your girls, both of them are beautiful. So we know you did atleast two perfect things in your life

I think your kids are wonderful and precious. I really enjoy watching the show and never know what is going to happen. With the recent events, just accept your faults and make no excuses, you learned from it. Accept the responsibility and don't waste your time blaming other people. Make your kids your priority now because they will grow up to soon. You are a beautiful lady and just put the guy thing on a back burner for now since that seems to be a weakness of yours. Good luck and I will keep watching the show probably because of you.
