For those fans who were hoping Dina was going to go after Danielle, Dina tweeted that she doesn’t want to get involved in the lives of her past castmates, other than those who are her friends.
I am not aware of or care to get involved in past cast mates lives (Other than friends). I love you guys but let's keep it current ?

On Thursday, Danielle Staub announced that she’s writing a tell-all that will show the “reality” of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and the impact of the show on herself and her family.
Later on Thursday, Danielle posted a lengthy message to her Instagram page, in which she talked about the response to her tell-all announcement. She wrote that despite not being on Real Housewives for six years, she’s still, according to statistics, “the most recognized more then any other housewife in the franchise.” She talked about the show’s editing and explained that she’s writing the story to get her side of the story out there and to defend herself. She acknowledged that she has made some bad decisions in life, but pointed out that she’s also a person with feelings and a mother to two children.
On Friday, Danielle posted another lengthy message. In her message, she maintained that will her upcoming book is not about getting revenge, but about telling her side of the story. She promised that with her book, “every rock will be tossed and tables will be thrown.”
Danielle has also lashed out at the accusation that she’s racist. On Monday, Radar Online posted an audio recording that is purportedly of Danielle going on a racist rant.
Explosive Audio!

Danielle has denied that the recording is real. On Tuesday, she thanked her supporters and family for staying by her side. Attached to her tweet was a statement from her representative to Radar Online denying the authenticity of the recording.

Danielle’s daughters have spoken up to defend their mother. Her eldest daughter, Christine, tweeted that her mother loves both her Hispanic boyfriend and her younger sister’s African American boyfriend and treats them like her sons.
As a side note: my sister has an African American boyfriend and I have a Hispanic boyfriend. She loves them both and treats them as sons.
— Christine Staub (@christine_staub) January 26, 2016
Christine also suggested that people are wrongfully attacking her mom, who has been off Real Housewives for six years, to get fame for themselves.
Once you're on a television people gain a wrongful entitlement to slander your personhood & to use you as a medium to gain notoriety.
— Christine Staub (@christine_staub) January 25, 2016
My family has not been associated with any reality television in six years, but people still use us as an outlet to gain notoriety.
— Christine Staub (@christine_staub) January 26, 2016
Danielle’s younger daughter, Jillian, tweeted that the recording is fake. She wrote that the voice in the middle of the recording is not her mom’s.
Jacqueline seems to believe that Danielle is capable of spewing such hateful words. In response to an article covering the audio recording, Jacqueline tweeted, “Ew!”
Ew! https://t.co/psWfZ0Q1Y1 https://t.co/TLor14T6Fh

Danielle Staub was on the first two seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey with Jacqueline Laurita and Dina Manzo. Also on the show at the time were Teresa Giudice and Caroline Manzo. During Danielle’s time on the show, she feuded with all of the women, and quite often with Dina in particular, whom she accused of gossiping about her past and showing a negative book about her around town. That particular accusation at a restaurant during a group party, resulted in Teresa flipping a table and screaming at Danielle that she’s a “prostitution w****.” Caroline defended her sister Dina by taking the blame. In another season, Jacqueline’s daughter, Ashley, pulled out some of Danielle’s hair after feeling the need to attack Danielle in defense of her mother.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Season 7 will reportedly star Jacqueline, Teresa and Melissa Gorga, as well as several other women in lesser roles.
