On Monday, Staub, 48, spoke about new reports that she was fired from the series, and won't be returning for season three.
"Actually, I'm not even thinking about season 3 right now as I am considering many incredible options that have been presented to me," she says in a statement released to UsMagazine.com.

"Right now I just want to let fans know that we have a fantastic finale coming up next week and explosive reunion shows on August 30 and September 6," adds the controversial star, a sworn enemy to fellow remaining housewives Teresa Giudice, Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita. (Dina Manzo left the show in the middle of the second season after repeated battles with Staub.)

"Don't worry," Staub insists, "next year, I'll still be the one you either love to hate or hate to love."
A rep for Bravo wouldn't directly address the report of Staub's potential departure either, telling Us, "We're focused on season 2 right now...We haven't announced anything regarding a third season."
Tell Us What You Think
182THE HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY ARE CLEARLY BORING, THIS IS WHY THEY ARE ALWAYS REMINDING THEMSELVES OF DANIELLE. PERSON WHOM MAKE AWARDING SALARIES CAN AFFORD TO TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY, SHOP IN THE BEST STORES, EAT LUNCH, DINNER AND ENTERTAIN GUEST. WITHOUT DANIELLE THEY REALLY HAVE NO SHOW.
Danielle, admittedly I did not see the first season of Housewives so I don't really know what happened to start this feud with you and the other women. However, I can comment on this season, which I have been following. First off, I was extremely upset how you are pressuring your two young daughters into the limelight. Couldn't you tell that Jillian was terrified to sing in front of 300 people at Christine's 16th birthday party? The girl got physically sick. While I believe she has a budding talent as a songwriter, she is hardly a singer. She sounded awful. She is afterall just 11 years old. She is no singing prodigy and probably never will be. You are turning she loved to do naturally into something she will learn to hate. Let her develop it on her own if that is what she wants to do and not into something she may learn to hate. Secondly, you don't want any of the other women discussing your life, yet you have your toadie Danny rushing to you with information on the other women. You can not have it both ways. You also state that money is tight for you. What a crock. Maybe is you drop your non stop shopping, move into a more modest home and drop all the useless bodyguards you have you would have some money. You would not have to sue everyone and their mother to get some money then. Learn to live within your means. Pawn that ridiculous 7 carat diamond ring from you ex-husband. Your daughter will get her own ring from her fiance and not from her mother. If it means nothing to you, then sell it. Seems to me you arev a wannabe rich b***h and you are jealous of the other women. Get a real life Danielle. By the way, good luck with the stripper job. At least it is something you know how to do well. No I do not know you personally, just going on the impression you put out there in public.
Caroline is the classiest one of the bunch. Danielle is ugly inside and out.
Danielle, sweetheart you need to get a life. You need to stop treating your children as adults and putting so much pressure on them. I think that you need to be on medication. And I mean that in a good way. You need to find something good in your life and focus on it and not worry about the other wives at all. And please get rid of all your thugs...
OMG..you are such garbage Danielle..sick of watching it..not watching anymore cuz of her...
I hope Danielle goes off the show and does not get her own show. How sick would that be???? She is a mad woman and has no friends except her big talking boy friend. He is a little twit.
Danielle comes across as sad and self-aware. Are we suppose to hate her? I dont hate/like her. I do feel sorry for her. For two seasons it has been Danielle vs. the others. I can why they may get rid of her. The show will get old real quick if it is the same premise every season. They need to keep it fresh and take her out of the picture. I have enjoyed the episodes this season that did not deal with Danielle.
I only watched the series 2x and for the life of me cannot understand why they hate her so? Has she committed murder and gotten away with it? These women hate her so much..it is scary. All they do is talk about her day and night and have the husbands doing the same. The few times I did watch the show all I saw was this woman (who I am told is supposedly evil?) being taunted, ridiculed , attacked (somebody pulled on her hair?) and called trash, garbage..etc. I did one show where a blonde lady told people this woman was trying to find her birth mother? Was the blonde woman suppose to a confidant of hers? I just do not understand this at all? This Danielle must have done something so horrific for these women to hate so much! The show has extreme negative tones and if anyone is suffering from cancer, depression etc..should never watch this! Oh, and to call one "evil" for being on this Danielle's side is evil in itself! Who is allowed to cast the first stone? I never heard Mother Teresa speak of anyone in that way? This woman named Teresa and her shallow friends should learn something from her namesake?
I cannot stand Danielle & not in a 'love to hate her kind of way'. She is such a narcissist! I realize that all of the housewives are guilty of behavior that is at time outrageous, but Danielle just takes it to a whole new level. She is so passive-aggressive & nothing irritates me more than her desire to be seen as a poor, innocent victim. She is probably proud of all of the attention that this generates, but she should be ashamed of both her attitude & her behavior.
I swear Danielle was a man and had a sex change. She's so damn ugly. That thug Danny she hangs around,well everyone knows she's doing him. Danielle will do anyone. Get her off the show. I'm going to quit watching till her ugly ass is off. This is one person I really,really hate.
I think she present too much of a risk for the show. She SUES everyone!!!! She plays the victim and when people deal with her, she takes them to court. That is not a good environment for BRAVO. I am tired of watching "CRAZY" being telecast.
She needs to gain weight. She looks bad. That's not appealing to be so thin. I read that she got fired from the show too. She starts too much crap.
I read that they lied to Danielle teling her she may get her own show. Just kind of strung her along or they are stringing her along. The network is...either way, she seems very very evil and mean to me. She can't stand anyone disagreeing or having a different opinion than she does either. You can't always have things your way! She has an unrealistic grasp on things and view of reality! Plus those thugs she hangs out with are just plain scary! This should not be going on.
one bad thing she did was bringing thugs to a cancer benifit!
I totaly agree that teresa started the fight! but as usual danielle slammed her for her impending poverty and set her off... I am biased, I hate Danielle! plus I hope she can't find her birth mother.. That poor unfortunate woman knew the devil she birthed 50 years ago and got rid of it!!!!!!!
I completely agree that Teresa started the fight.. and yes I am biased, I hate Danielle.. but she is constantly running her mouth about how abused she is, plus she always wants to confront anyone who speaks ill of her.. but the moment someone disagrees, she attacks them! and then leaves believing she is the victor! plus who are these millions of sane people you speak of? No one likes her! she is evil... plus I hope she can't find her birth mother. that poor woman probably knew that she was impregnated by Satan! ie. Danielles daddy! and thats a good reason to dump her
grandma wrinkles who by the way is better looking, and younger than danielle, should replace her!
Can she look any more fake? Ugh, she looks about 60yrs old with that heavy makeup. Those shows are hardly "reality"
Take the entire show off! be done with New Jersey! They all have become a nuisance. They hate this one person like a bunch of bullies. She doesn't have much going on with her life onscreen so I don't think she will be missed, but then what will the other women do, actually not talk about her....no they will continue.
It's better she leaves! She's nuts! It's too risky to keep her on the show! Besides, who can stand her anyway?!
