'Real Housewives of New Jersey' loses a cast member

Jacqueline and Teresa aren’t the only ones that can hug Danielle goodbye on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

Bravo confirmed on its website Tuesday that Danielle Staub will not be returning next season to the hit reality show. The announcement comes the day after part two of the series reunion show which featured Staub going head to head with fellow housewives Teresa Giudice, Jacqueline Laurita and Caroline Manzo.

“According to our very own Andy Cohen, 'The reunion was Danielle's last appearance on 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey','” said a statement on the Bravo site. "We thought the hugs were a great way to end two seasons of bitterness between the women."

“The hugs” refers to Staub’s awkward attempt to make nice with Giudice and Laurita during the reunion show. The now ex-housewife embraced the two women - who she has been locked in a bitter dispute with all season - and murmured words of apology.

    Cont. yes when the gorgas came home from trick and treat with the kids-they both ignored the kids-left them downstairs alone, and the baby was on the floor! te and her family are good people-her family should be helping her not putting her down-and talking about her . what the heck do they want-they have beautiful homes, cars -kids.....they should thank God everyday. life is too short. viva jersey and God Bless te and her family-and jacklynn for being there.

    Everyone who likes Daneille are u understanding the show? she was mental-always negative and made everything as it was an attack on her. Kim G is just as mental as her and two-faced back stabber. the new season isalso not fair that bravo signed tee's brother @ cousin without letting her know. listen te is a very nice person and everyone goes through bad times-u people should pray for her and family rather than being happy. this is whats wrong with our society today no- no empathy or morals for others. her brother tarted the fight at His Sons party-he was drunk andis jelous-just like te's cousin and sister inlaw. they should not put her down on tv-that plain ignorant and shows that they r jelous cuz she was on the show and they were not. what the heck do the gorgas want-look at their house and life style-they should be thankful for what they have. also-her brother should be helping her during this time in her life with what she is going through. kathy Stop putting her down. melssa left her son on the floor!

I will not watch it any more because thte producers let all the other women attack Danelle and Caroline is the one that stuck her perfect little nose into things she had no business doing.

    I hear Theresa is getting a divorce. What are we going to have to watch, her buying more things?

    On the first half or the reunion show. Andy stated that the family of the sick child was upset with Danielle for not donating any money. Danielle said that this was a lie and she went door to door to collecting.............commitments. Either you collected money or you didn't. How could you have donated anything if you collected commitments? And if you did collect money, where is it. Wouldn't this be fraud?

    It is really hard to believe that there are people out there that can't see through Danielle. I truely think she is a dangerous person. I feel so sorry for her daughters, they do seem like nice girls. They seem very mature for their ages. I've seen this happen before in families where the parents have deep emotional problems and the children seem so grownup. I guess someone has to be mature and make good decisions, their mother sure doesn't. I can't believe that Danielle feels this is due to her parenting. Talk about denial.

    This is the best news since the whole "Real Housewives" have started. I got so sick of the fakeness of her and constance bickering. NOW the question is WILL DINA BE COMIMING BACK w/her daughter? I really hope that Theresa, Caroline and Jacqueline will stay. Danielle was like a scavenger she would purposely start something then feed off of it. It was unbelievable how miserable she would make people. Just because she's the most unhappiest person I ever seen. Oh well now what will she do next, who cares just so she leaves people alone.

    Sure Danielle may be very insecure, however.....How can women who supposedly have lots of money, class and intelligence act like Caroline, Kim G., Teresa (No surprise there!) and Jacqueline? Teresa is plain nuts to say nothing of being gaudy. Danielle was criticized for being a stage mother in promoting her daughters' modeling and singing career and being a bad mother. Did anyone notice how Teresa flaunts her daughter's modeling to others at the movie audition and those are some MISBEHAVING kids. Jacqueline needs to give Ashley some physical therapy. Danielle was a drama queen and apparently made up some pretty good stuff but the show is going to be pretty boring without her. Kim G needs to get a life!.

      i agree with you Tracee, I thought the housewives were supposed to be women (WOMAN) Danielle looks like a drag queen. Those poor daughters of hers I agree with Caroline, their eyes are dead. They look so sad, why doesn't their father take them in? Also, that spectacle at the Brownstone was terrible for the poor sick child. You don't get a table without paying they were nothing but crashers. Kim G. should be for all 12 of them for being part of that fiasco.

She brought it all down on herself. Wondering too why people tend to think Italians are all in the mafia? Just because they make money and have a uptown lifestyle doesn't mean they all came by it dishonestly.

    I am shocked that Danielle is leaving. I thought that she was leading up to a "big" search to find her birth mother. What would have made it an even juicier plot would be if Danielle's search led her to find out that Kim G was her birth mom. Kim G is afterall older. Is she not?

      It really makes me wonder how anyone is putting down Danielle, when it clearly shows the true motives of Caroline, Teresa and Jacqueline. Danielle, did such a classy thing on the reunion, by not letting those trouble makers get to her. It was clear that Caroline is the ring leader. She hated the fact that Danielle hugged Teresa and Jacqueline. She needs to get a life!! Anyone who sees that Caroline, Teresa and Jacqueline are right, makes me wonder how they handle issues in their own lives. Good for you Danielle, it was too much drama for you and your girls. BTW, Jacqueline take a hint for your own dysfunctional daughter...but then again I wonder where she got it from. They all need to grow it and BE ROLE MODELS.
