Real Housewives of NJ: Amidst Drama, Danielle Staub Spoils Daughter

Posted by eksarran on July 15th, 2010 at 4:47 pm

danielle staub 12 211x300 Real Housewives of NJ: Amidst Drama, Danielle Staub Spoils Daughter Amidst all the drama among Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members Danielle Staub, Teresa Giudice and Jaqueline Laurita, the upcoming episode of the highest rated Real Housewives cast features Danielle Staub spoiling daughter Christine with a lavish sweet 16 party.

Sources say Staub hosted a party for her daughter at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in West Orange, NJ, which was extravagant and over-the-top, to say the least. We’ve questioned our readers on Staub’s level of maturity and responsibility when it comes with her recent blow-outs with fellow housewives and even Laurita’s daughter, Ashley, but what about her parenting style with her own daughters?

This season, we’ve seen Staub take Christine to model castings and help her get onto a New York Fashion Week runway at a very young age, disguising it as wanting to make her daughter happy, though the whole thing smelled of Staub clawing at more fame for herself. Now she’s planning very adult birthday parties and likely spending lots of money on them–even amidst rumors that Staub is struggling financially.

Does Staub have her daughter’s best interests in mind, or is she using her daughter as a vehicle for her own fame and success?

Are you serious? Whatever you opinion, it’s just an opinion. Her daughters are beautiful. What’s wrong with putting her in modeling. Most models start at 14-15 years old. I don’t hear you mentioning Teresa putting her daughter in show business and the little girl is much younger. The fact is, those are her kids and she can spoil and develop their talent as much as she wants and as long as her kids are happy.

My guess is that she is using her daughter as a vehicle for her own fame and success, yes. She is deliberately putting her daughter into a world that she recognizes as what destroyed her and if she wasn’t capable of making smart decisions for herself back then, what qualifies her to make smart decisions for her daughter now?!

Don’t get me wrong, I think that her daughter’s beauty is merit enough to keep her successful in the modeling business, but I also think that Danielle as her “stage mom” or manager, or whatever active roll played will be her daughter’s downfall. People in that business aren’t going to want the drama that seems to follow Danielle creeping in.

I think she is, but most parents do when it comes to hollywodd and celebrity. Her daughter will outshine her anyway and we wouldn’t know about her daughter if it wasn’t for Danielle. So no matter how she come out, this will always be the reason so get over it and enjoy the ride. I think her daughter is beautiful and when she reaches 18 can do her own thing anyway. She is close to her father from what I hear and he is said to be alot more grounded than Danielle. Assley looked like a fool trying to model. Bring out the real talent please!

She’s definately in it for herself. She undoubtably has two beautiful and intelligent daughters, who in their own time, I’m sure could make whatever they wanted of themselves, but she seems to use them to promote herself on RHONJ, in her blogs, and in her media interviews. It all seems so selfish and to watch the girls expressions, sometimes I question if this is what they want or if they’re doing it to make Danielle happy.
Watching Danielle on housewives makes me thankful for DVR; I find myself fast forwarding through her scenes as having her on my TV for more than 1 minute at a time makes me nauseous.

Have you seen the lavish sweet 16 parties on the VH1 show. Didn’t we just sit through Gia’s over the top birthday party for her 9 year old future divas in the making.

If anyone deserves praise of all the children on this set of Housewives Christina and her sister Jillian deserve to be praised and spoiled on their birthdays.

These Danielle haters hate that she has the best daughters ever. Danielle’s daughters don’t have a public record like Ashley or have been taught to call any of the other housewives “pig.”

OMG… Cant compare other women to Danielle… I dont care who they are… That woman is craaaazzzzyyyyy

Tammy Hoffmann commented on Jul 15 10 at 6:13 pm

She’s using her daughter as a vehicle for her own fame and success, i’m with logical mama, danielle will be her daughters downfall for sure. what about that “luncheon” she had to “celebrate” her daughters magazine cover, she invited all HER friends and then told her daughter “oh your not invited” its about ME celebrating your success….WHAT???? I also don’t like the way she discusses adult matters with her daughters and how she makes her daughters think she’s in eminent danger all the time, that people are out to hurt or even kill her. who does that to they’re children. won’t that have some sort of psychological affect on them?…. well I’m embarrassed for her daughters….i hope they’ll be o.k

chels commented on Jul 15 10 at 6:15 pm

why should anyone question D parenting skills, based on what we have seen on the show.
her two daughters are doing better that any of the other children on that show, if she wants to throw her daughter an expensive party,so what!!!!! Do you guys remember Teresa and her husband just filed for bankruptcy!!!!, she threw her daughter a lavish party also. this is your money PEOPLE that we will eventually have to pay!!!!! D daughter has a father, he could be funding this party, but if not, SO WHAT!!!!!!

As far as Daniella is concerned, everything and everybody including her daughters is intended to serve her in one way or another. She is selfish and conceited and whatever she does is just to bring her into the spotlight and has nothing to do with pleasing her daughters. She is a narcissist and very unpleasant human being, and I pity her daughters.

amyruh commented on Jul 15 10 at 6:32 pm

I wonder if her daughter is invited to this party?

jj commented on Jul 15 10 at 6:44 pm

I actually feel sorry for her daughters because of their moms embarrassing behaviour. Of course Christine deserves a party and yes she is absolutely gorgeous as well as Gillian, however the sad truth is Danielle does use them and will ride on Cristines modeling coat tails. I hope when Christine is of age she changes managers. No one knows how those poor kids really feel with all the discusting behaviour Danielle has exhibited. Danielle is truly a nasty dramatic skank.

Rita commented on Jul 15 10 at 6:45 pm

Did she actually invite her daughter to her own party? Just wondering since the ridiculous loser had a party for her after her modeling gig and didnt invite her. Danielle is the worst mother in the world. Everything she does that involves them is to somehow benefit herself.

jnice commented on Jul 15 10 at 7:01 pm

you people are crazy… leave danielle leave her live.. she is a great mother. I never seen her doughter s disrecpect her .. she is a good mother …love her a lot ..

mary commented on Jul 15 10 at 7:41 pm

I have to agree completely with Rita. Christine is a beautiful girl and probably would have a great career in front of her if it weren’t for that skanky mother of hers. Quite a few of these young girls have what I would call “stage mothers” but I have never run across one yet that can match Danielle in the disgusting creepy behavior department. I hope that maybe she can reach out to her Dad to find a professional manager and keep her mother out of her career.

Eileen commented on Jul 15 10 at 7:59 pm

Of course the party is about Danielle. Just like Christine’s model party was a venue to brag to the other women about Christine’s modeling contract. I hope Danielle has the sense not to become Christine’s manager, and to let the professionals handle it. I would hate to see her wreck her daughter’s future.

Kelly commented on Jul 15 10 at 8:04 pm

You know Danielle makes for GREAT TV but if half of her behavior is for real, then I must say that I truly feel bad for her daughters. She is with out a doubt, one of the most self centered (with out any class whats so ever) I’ve ever seen displayed, not to mention that CRAZY is to tame a word for her. Just sayin…….

Debbie commented on Jul 15 10 at 8:09 pm

I think that all of the Danielle haters are not going to think that anything she does is right. Her daughter is not young as models go. She is beautiful so go for it. As long as Danielle is there to guide her from making the same mistakes she did, I think she will be okay. Danielle’s girls seem to be very well adjusted and good girls. Unlike Ashley,living with a older guy fresh out of high school, violent and antagonistic. I think that Danielle had a shady past but learned from it and carried on with her life. I see all of the antagonizing coming from the other corner of the ring. The crazy one I see is Teresa. I think that she is certainly the bad girl. And as far as the foreclosure statement, I thought the same thing. You surrender things of value, and live less extravagant You build a $5,000,000 home, file bankrupt, and get to keep your home when you have $100,000 in credit card debt. COME ON! I think that it was a calculated move knowing that her house wouldn’t be taken. The house should have been taken away, and let her live in a $1,000,000 home which is 10 times more expensive than the home that I live in.
I think that Teresa is the true bad girl bully. Oh by the way, isn’t Teresa the real stage mom. Don’t get me wrong, it is all very entertaining, but I call it as I see it.

AJ commented on Jul 15 10 at 8:12 pm

Her daughter seem like very nice girls, unlike Jacqueline’s daughter Ashley who sits all day on the internet fighting with people, and ripping out the hair of 50 year old woman (from behind, how cowardly).

Dee commented on Jul 15 10 at 11:05 pm

I do not like Danielle a little bit. However, the only parenting flaw I can see is discussing the other housewives and her problems with them with her daughters.

Kelly L commented on Jul 15 10 at 11:15 pm

Danielle is parenting by her daughters. This has been apparent all season long. When she was going to Caroline’s home it was her daughters telling her to stop. Danielle wants fame for herself and will use whatever vehicle she can use. Her daughters, her so called pain, her breasts, her strip pole routine, her criminal friend, her lesbian relationships. This woman is a complete mess!

Debra commented on Jul 16 10 at 12:11 am

My fear is that Christina and Jillian will turn out just like their mother because they stand by her and go through all the drama on a daily basis. It’s sad, and unfortunate that they live with a mother that is so disturbed and the crazy behavior just continues.

ashlee commented on Jul 16 10 at 12:29 am

I can only imagine what kids say to her daughters at school.

null300 commented on Jul 16 10 at 12:32 am

Christine earned enough to pay for it or Bravo is picking up the tab I would bet.

Real housewives, real psychological issues? Read, discuss and decide for yourself!

From watching the show, its apparent danielle was much more excited about her daughter modeling then her own daughter. Also, danielle had made several references on the $$$$ she would be making, oh not to mention the “Celebration” she had for her own benefit, not her daughter. The woman is a joke, and i feel sorry for her daughters and what they are being exposed to because their mother is a schizophrenic money hungry tramp…she is NOT setting the best example for those poor little girls

Sunshine commented on Jul 19 10 at 9:50 am

God grant her daughters the wisdom to realize that their mother is mentally ill, and in no way should they view her as a role model. Just imagine what the girl’s schoolmates and their parents think about Ms. Staub: Her despicable behavior on the show, the people she exposes them to in their home (i.e., Danny), her sex tape, etc., etc. She is a disgrace to her daughters and to womEn everywhere.

Danielle’s rumored girlfriend- out-recording artist Lori Michaels was on the town in Manhattan this weekend and talking about her involvement with the Staub’s Sex tape scandal. Here’s a link to the video: http://ourscenetv.com/posts/451/real-housewife-girlfriend-talks-danielle-staub

Danielle Staub definitely has a persecution complex and needs so much help. She is a compulsive liar as well! Claims she was a Ford model and they have absolutely no record of her!! I feel for her two daughters because I do believe they are well behaved, but for how long. The one being forced to model is just fuming with her mother trying so hard to share her limelight – let your child shine Danielle. Everything is not about you! I’m afraid these two girls will be ruined and go down the wrong path if their father or someone else does not save them! She is a horrible mother who is so narcissitic and if she really wanted what was best for them, she would stop filming like Dina did and what Jacqueline should do!! What’s with putting your children on a show as volatile as this and thinking it’s OK – it’s actually abuse!! I give Dina credit – she is the only one with any brains!

tessa commented on Jul 20 10 at 12:51 am

Dina left the show because of danielle and her physco antics. The first season reunion where caroline broke down crying and telling danielle what she did was unforgivable…..and danielle played little miss innocent…. was because danielle tryed to have dinas daughter taken away from her.Dinas ex-husband changed his mind about having their daughter lexie on the show. Danielle went and started talking shit to dinas ex adding fuel to his fire….the woman is clearly insecure and has to live in others lives because she cant deal with her own. Also, you know when your trash, when the police and 9-11 operator know you because you have fights with random men in your house and need them to be removed. Im glad danielle’s ex boy toy is suing her, maybe then she’ll learn the hard way about lying.

Sunshine commented on Jul 20 10 at 10:25 am

her daughter is beautiful and she likes to model is not like if she is making her do something she doesnt like she supports her

lol commented on Jul 22 10 at 9:55 pm
