Buh-bye, Danielle.
After a flipped table, yanked-out hair extensions and plenty of tears, Danielle Staub has officially left the cast of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Bravo confirmed late Monday.

"The reunion was Danielle's last appearance," says Andy Cohen in a blog post of Monday night's explosive part-two of the second season's reunion, in which Staub continued to spar with Teresa Giudice, Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita. (Staub and Laurita shared an awkward hug at the show's conclusion.)

"We thought the hugs were a great way to end two seasons of bitterness between the women." Cohen added. Fifth housewife Dina Manzo (Caroline's sister) departed the show in the middle of the second season after constantly clashing with Staub. "I would say 99.9 percent is because of Danielle [Staub], but the other .1 percent was drama created by her," she told Us Weekly exclusively in June.

Staub, 48, is a divorced single mom of two daughters; this past year she released her memoirs The Naked Truth as well as her debut single, "Real Close."
Tell Us: are you sad to see Danielle go?
Tell Us What You Think
18Im really upset that Danielle had to leave. In the beginning she tried to befriend these women who did nothing but torment her and when she retaliated then they didnt like it and it became gang up on Danielle season. I hate bullies and I hate people who can dish it out but cant take it. As far as her parenting skills are concerned; no she is not the best mother but people who raise their children to put their hands on others arent exactly the picture of perfect parenting. I give Jacqueline props during the reunion for atleast trying to make peace of this whole thing. It amazes me how people who have children can sit down and condone hate and not the possibility of forgiveness. I watched every episode and i think it was wrong for Caroline to have Danielle investigated and tell everyone about the book she had made. If she was a woman and not a catty woman like most woman are she would have approached Danielle privately and discussed her feelings instead of going behind her back totally bashing her. I think that was awful especially since Danielle did have children. I personally will not be watching the show anymore. It's pretty much the Theresa show since her family members have replaced the 2 stars that have left and you know now its scripted and its just going to be a ghetto mess.
I AM THRILLED DANIELLE WAS" FIRED"!SHE IS DEMENTED AND NEEDS SERIOUS MENTAL HELP. I WISH THAT THE GIRLS FATHER WOULD STEP UP AND TAKE THEM FROM DANIELLE, AS SHE IS NO MOTHER. FOR GOD SAKES SHE MADE THEM HUG HER BODY GUARDS, WAS THAT NOT AWKWARD? THEY JUST LOOKED SHOCKED AT HER REQUEST.I PRAY THEY DON'T TURN OUT LIKE THEIR MOTHER, THEY ARE YOUNG AND EASILY INFLUENCED.SHE TELLS HER CHILDREN THINGS THAT THEY NEED NOT KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE, SHE HAS NO REAL FRIENDS TO TALK TO, THAT'S WHY THERE ARE THERAPISTS.SHE ALWAYS MADE IT A POINT TO TALK ABOUT ONE OF THE OTHER HOUSEWIVES OR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.SHE SAID TERESA HOOKED UP WITH STEVE AND COMMENTED' THIS IS THE KIND OF PERSON THEY FEEL I DESERVE TO BE WITH". WELL NO ONE MADE HER SLEEP WITH HIM OR FORCED HER TO CONTINUE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. THAT WAS HER CHOICE AND WHEN THEY 'BROKE UP" SHE CRIED AND SAID HE WAS HER BEST FRIEND, JUST LIE AFTER LIE. IT GOT TO THE POINT, I WOULD MUTE THE T.V WHEN SHE CAME ON.IT'S FUNNY HOW WE GET CAUGHT UP IN REALITY T.V BUT IT'S NICE TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY HAVE IT MADE, MAKE TOTAL IDIOTS OF THEMSELVES.ANOTHER THING, I DON'T THINK ANYONE ELSE (BESIDE KIM G.) NOTICED "THE RING" AT THE B-DAY PARTY. JUST ANOTHER WAY TO STIR UP DRAMA.IT LIKE NEVER ENDS WITH HER.SHE THINKS SHES SO PROPER,IT'S SICKENING.I'M WITH CAROLINE, YOU CAN PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG BUT IT'S STILL A PIG.ONE MORE THING, I CAN'T BELIEVE JAQUELINE,WHO WAS MY FAVORITE AS I WATCHED HER THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS AND FELT SHE HAD COME INTO HER OWN UNTIL SHE FELL RIGHT INTO DANIELLES WEB OF LIES AND DECEIT AT THE REUNION.SHE WAS ENTIRELY TO QUICK AT ACCEPTING DANIELLES APOLOGIES, AS THEY WERE FALSE.I COULD HAVE NEVER FORGIVEN SOMEONE SO QUICKLY THAT HAS CAUSED MY CHILD AND MY FAMILY SO MANY PROBLEMS. WITH ALL THAT SAID, GOOD BYE TO SQUARE TITS AND THANK BRAVO WE CAN ALL WATCH A FULL EPISODE OF HOUSEWIVES W/OUT HITTING THE MUTE BUTTON.
It's going to be hella boring without her.
every story needs a bad guy---she was it--thats all
Good riddance but, now I wonder, who is going to cause all the drama that keeps me coming back? lol I loved to hate Danielle!
When I did watch the show, I would usually shut it off due to the ridiculous teen-age drama of grown women. Teresa is minimally better...However; again, media is the devil and I stopped watching most reality shows. That's not my life and theirs is choreographed anyway.
Now that Danielle is leaving I will watch the Housewives!
I don't like Danielle but she made the show interesting.
Hell no
I am glad Danielle is gone. She was a lying, evil, walking time bomb. Her life consisted of manipulations of others and I feel sorry her daughters have to grow under her sexual tirades and promiscuity. She is damaging their lives and self-esteem. Now the RHONJ can get on with basic drama, but not threatening murders and mayhem. Plus, she was looking anorexic and demonic with all of her botox and other medical surgeries. She wished she could look as good as Caroline. And her hairweave should be pulled out as it looked cheaply done. Oh well, good riddance to bad rubbish. Marsha
Danielle is an animal...I hope to God this spin-off is just another of her delusions and not actually a television show. She is a calculating, manipulating, criminal who never should have been included in the show to begin with.
I like Danielle. She is interesting, unlike the other old maids on the show. I would definitely watch he show. Teresa G. is just scary! She reminds me of a the Big Bad Wolf... LOL
I,m glad to hear Danielle has left the show I can't stand her and her skanky friends. It got to a point where I would change the chanel when she was on because I couldn't stand to look at he. she acts dresses and looks like a 2 bit tramp.
Lord no I am not upset about her being fired. The woman has deeply rooted psychological issues that are only exacerbated by being on the show. My wish for her is that she find an excellent psychologist who can help her, or perhaps she be institutionalized for a time to help her overcome her insanity. She needs to let go of the past and whatever and whoever hurt her and realize it doesn't matter. It only matters because she lets it matter. Until she forgives those things and people, she will never heal and will continue to blame others for her drama. She will continue to misconstrue everything, and she will continue with the tirade of texting and tweeting like a 12 year old child with people far out of her age range. It is not appropriate what all she has done regarding Ashley, the Manzos, Teresa (though Teresa IS a poo stirrer herself). she WANTED all of the negative attention because I suppose she felt it was the only way she could get any at all. She surrounds herself with people of questionable character, but then, like attracts like. It is a sad, sad situation when your young children are the voices of wisdom. I feel incredibly sorry for her daughters having to grow up with a raging narcissist. I hope they are able to conquer that before they too become that way themselves. Good riddance, Danielle, and for God's sake, go get some REAL treatment...and BRAVO, I beg you, please for the love of God do not cast Kim G or Kim D in her place. They are just as bad.
I found myself turning the volume down or turning the chanel when Danielle was on she was childish offensive and dramatic...... Congratulations to the rest of the ladies (it would be hard to call Danielle a lady)
Lame group anyway, all they did was fight over the same stupid thing every week. "We will never mention her name again"...(but wouldn't stop). I did watch the reunion show, but didn't watch the last 2 episodes, the previews told enough.
I hate to see Danielle go' sure she had a past and it wasnt pretty, but people change, and Teresa G is no better, nor the 2 Manzos! They all have dirty, they are all NOT CLASSY..and Teresa G daughter "are" dogs!
Adios! Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya. This is one crazy woman.
