The dishiest season of the Bravo show yet is spilling over with drama, as the new Us Weekly is reporting that former BFFs Jacqueline Laurita and Danielle Staub are no longer even civil to each other.
“I am not friends with Danielle,” Jacqueline told the mag.
The new mom (she gave birth to her third child, Nicholas, on June 11) says she’s keeping her former pal as far away as possible.
“She has never seen the baby, nor will I ever show her. I learned my family was right about her all along.”
You see, Jacqueline threw her sisters-in-law, Dina and Caroline Manzo, by telling Danielle that that Dina was the one who outed Dan’s shady past — and the rap sheet was nothing to sneeze at. Federal court records have surfaced detailing Danielle’s involvement in a kidnapping plot, a $24,000 cocaine ring and an “escort service.”

Even though she has denied her drug use and past as a prostitute on the show, saying only that she was a former pothead, documents on TheSmokingGun.com would seem to contradict her.

… Danielle is upset over the possible release of the video and racy photos. She said “This is about my kids,” and “I’m a big girl. Do what you want to me. But you broke bread with my children. Don’t do this to me. No adult should ever do this to a child.”

Staub, known from her appearance on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” went to court Wednesday in an effort to block the distribution of a sex tape made by Zalewski.
Staub filed a complaint in the Passaic County Superior Court.
She claims that Steve Zalewski invaded her privacy, defamed her, and inflicted emotional distress. Staub is also seeking punitive damages in the filing.
The pair dated during the taping of the Bravo show until Staub dumped him on camera during a date.
The hearing comes as an US Weekly cover story on the women who starred in the show goes to press.
The article claims that there is still tension between the stars, a year after the just aired season was shot.
A major plot-line from the series was reaction to a book written by Staub’s first husband that claimed she was a prostitute. The book played a pivotal role in the season finale.

So like everyone else, I was glued to the TV set last Tuesday night watching the train wreck that is the Real Housewives of New Jersey. If you thought the other franchises of the show were bad, i.e. New York, Orange County, or Atlanta, this version was just the icing on the cake.
This season followed sisters Dina and Caroline, their sister-in-law Jacqueline, friend Theresa, and outcast Danielle. The only one who could tolerate Danielle was the sweet natured Jacqueline, and this was with good cause. Danielle was featured in a book and was allegedly a prostitute, a drug smuggler, a cocaine user, and a child kidnapper, who was arrested for all of the above.
Danielle has “set the record straight” and denied all the claims except the fact that she was arrested, but she has never said why she was arrested besides her “I was at the wrong place at the wrong time”. She also is the ultimate cougar stating she wants a younger man or any man-but they have to have money and lots of it.
