RHONJ’s Jacqueline Laurita: Hug From Danielle Staub Was An Ending to the War

SGY 019384 200x300 RHONJs Jacqueline Laurita: Hug From Danielle Staub Was An Ending to the WarHold the Danielle Drama!!  The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita has finally posted her final words about the second season and she makes it clear that she’s putting all the Danielle Staub drama behind her. 

What started off as a firestorm of accusations and hostility limped out with an awkward hug between Jacqueline and her former BFF Danielle Staub. 

So what does Jacqueline think about all the drama that went on this season….

Jacqueline is the first housewife to fully admit that she entered the reunion with fists clenched full of bitterness and anger.    Two seasons of bad acts and retaliation from Danielle had finally caught up with her and Jacqueline was ready to put away her good girl persona and let it all fly.

“Not going to lie, my intention was to go into the reunion swinging,” she writes in her final Bravo TV blog of the season. “I was ready to go to battle and win. I wanted to call Danielle out on every lie that I have caught her in. I wanted to hurt and embarrass her with all the truths that I had learned about her and expose her with all of my collected facts. I wanted her to feel the pain that she had inflicted on me and onto others. My dislike for her had grown so much since the end of filming. I had become bitter and angry toward her. I figured that this was my last chance to put it all out there and make it all known. I came fully prepared and loaded.”

As they neared the end of a grueling 12-hours of filming, Jacquelin (with the help of Bellini) had a realization that changed things in her mind and allowed her to find some closure with Danielle in that awkward season-ending hug.

“It needed to end! Period!” she writes.  “There was a time we were friends, but somewhere along the way we both got hurt and it turned to anger and made us bitter and it just kept escalating.”

There was only one way to make it all end, she needed to put it all behind her and make peace with Danielle for her own piece of mind.  “Peace of mind, safety for my family, drama free,” Jacqueline adds.  “I just wanted all of this nonsense to stop. I wanted us both to get to move on in our lives peacefully in our separate directions. I wanted to end the war.”

Don’t misinterpret the final hug as a reunion for the former friends, their friendship is done, but Jacqueline hopes the gesture will lead to a new era of peace. 

“To make it clear, Danielle and I are not friends,” she concludes.  “We will not speak, it’s just an ending to the war, and acknowledgement of wrongdoings on both ends, and for us both to move on in separate directions peacefully. It was a decision to let go of all the anger and agree to move on.”

Do you think the battle of the New Jersey Housewives is done or will we see some more Danielle drama off-camera?

Well, I hope not, but you never know. i do hope that no one continues to pick on Danielle anymore, it is sad to see this and still people like Caroline don’t even care on what it has done to Danielle’s daughters, and so what if Danielle told her daughters on what was going on, are you kidding me she is not allow to tell her daughters anything that goes on in her life, really? Sorry, but if people like Teresa Caroline Jacqueline are all picking on me, and has brought out a book on me about my past of 25 years ago and goes around town telling people and showing the book knowing that the people Caroline talked to will talk in front of their kids and their kids will be in school picking on Danielle’s Daughters, are you kidding me, this is what Caroline created for Danielle’s daughters, Caroline is the one who started this whole mess, not Jacqueline, not Danielle she wanted to keep it in the past because she already paid her debt to society, but these women don’t let her forget it nor did they think on how it is going to affect Danielle’s daughters. i have no respect for Caroline at all, she is very evil to that to a person she is acting as if she is GOD, as if she got the power to judge a person by their past and then make the final judgement and made sure that others do the same and if they don’t, like Jacqueline did the first time, then Caroline will make sure that she makes Jacqueline feel like shit in the family, and that is why Jacqueline was acting this awful way with Danielle, I Know she is not this way, it was done by Caroline herself, she was the troublemaker, who in hell does that, go into someone’s lives of 25 years ago, and then she got the nerve to say don’t believe everything you read, when it was about her family, her father in law the one who got kill and cut up and left in the trunk of a car all mulitilated, yeah right Caroline it doesn’t feel good when it is you people are talking about, well Caroline deserve everything that is coming to her. As for Teresa, well she is a loose cannon, she is nothing to be afraid of, she is just so insecure of herself that is why she acts this way like a animal. She knows why she is jealous, why she is so insecured and that is why she did all the bad shit to Danielle, because Danielle is the person that gets her shit done, she has done all this all by herself with no man in her life, raising her daughters and she did it very well, look at them, they are beautiful and they are well behave girls and very polite and not like the others, so yeah they might have shit to say about Danielle, but it is because they are all so jealous. Well, maybe Jacqueline doesn’t think that way because she wasn’t that way until she got into the family of the manzo with Caroline.

Dude, I thought I was supposed to read one article not two. My comment is not going to be long. I think Jacqueline made a brave descision to end the rage and drama, I just hope Caroline, Dina and Teresa can follow in jacqueline’s footsteps so they can all be at peace and happy.

I think caroline is the only one who knew what that Bit*h Danielle was up too. & good for her… Now Danielle is talking smake about every one again. Those hugs were nothing but another Psy. efff you to them. Jaq was stupid to let Danni whisper sweet honey & lies in her ear cuz the mic did not catch 3/4 of what was said & danielle will use that to her advantage in the future. She looked like she was being a “Lesbian” with jaq…..

Toni: Do you actually think Danielle could go on a reality show and her criminal record would never come out? The housewives were told about “the book” from a Danielle ex-friend (of which she has many). I think Danielle’s TWO sex tapes were MUCH MORE harmful to Ds daughters then their mother’s past (one is being sold by Hustler). Danielle’s disgraceful behavior at the Cancer Benefit was much more upsetting to her daughters. Danielle bringing cameras to her daughters FIRST GYN appointment was truly unforgivable! Danielle’s ex-husband is suing for custody and there’s no doubt he’ll win and it won’t have anything to do with Caroline getting “the book” out of the library, it will have to do with Danielle’s own behavior!

I would like to say what will happen in the next season if there is one. Without Danielle this would be a boring show the other woman didn’t have anything else but Danielle to pick on. Yes Caroline u are a big ole bully u should be somewhere with grandkids not tryin to ruin the lives of the other women, u need to find friends in ur age group.

When HwofNJ continues there will be another person to take Danielle’s place. Caroline will do her best to rally her cowgirls and we will again see another person bullied. Looks like Kim G would be easy prey. They already dislike her.

I think that Jacqueline comments on the show were fake and disloyal to Caroline and her entire family. She cant be trusted. I hope Caroline cuts her off.

Seeing as tho I’ve dealt with my share of Danielle’s (read: attention wh0res) – I think Jaq is just trying to evolve out of the chaos that was Danielle. It seems like if Danie ain’t defending herself to them, then she’s comparing herself to them, or (when all else fails) spreading word about them. How many times have you heard Danie take a simple matter and whip it into something delusionally detached from reality. Danie is attacking Carolyn because deep down she thinks that if she could win her favor/approval, then the others will follow suit. The reality is that each of the women can think for themselves and tend to draw the same conclusion when it comes to Danie’s dramatic behaviors. And Danie clearly is dramatic preparing an entourage and twisting behavior for the benefit, engaging in a verbal war with a minor, …I mean, come on! Carolyn and Dina took their time to figure Danie out and the book probably confirmed their suspicions. If someone has concerning behavior to me – I keep my distance. Eventually their true self will shine. The Manzo family puts their family first and it threatens Danie because she barely has friends or family. Im sure Danie has burnt a lot of bridges with her shenanigans. One minute she is playing a victim and then next minute she’s ragtagging in a circus – sum it all up and you realize Danie is just foolish by her own shortcomings.
