- Danielle addresses the controversy surrounding her past.
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.

hello Danielle, i am from Australia and 38 years of age. I think you are a VERY STRONG women i relate to you as i to have a bad past which i belive like you the past is the past and we choose to let those we love and trust to know the truth! As for the way you confronted the other ladys at the dinner table with the book that was very brave of you, you need friends that are like you and me not people like those nasty fake women. I have a wonderful fiacee that excepts my past and loves me for who i am today. We are getting married in October. Keep STRONG and stay true to yourself Godbless to you and your beautiful daughters.

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.
