New Jersey Housewife Wannabe Kim G. Slams Danielle Staub

by Reality Tea on July 21st, 2010

In a new interview, the classiness known as Kim Granatell aka Kim G. is slamming her former BFF Danielle Staub, star of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

The wannabe housewife, who might or might not be pushing at least a 100-years-old, tells Celebrity Magnet that Danielle “blew a great friendship.”

“I liked her – I thought she was a great mom. I went to her house, we went out, she made dinner a couple of times,” explains Kim. “I introduced her to other friends of mine, we had a nice friendship.”

When asked what went wrong in the friendship, Kim G. says, “If it’s not Danielle’s way then she’s not happy. You can’t sit down and discuss logic or things that are going wrong in your relationship or friendship because she’ll cut you off and chew you down.”

And in the pot calling the kettle black news of the day, Kim G. also refers to Danielle as being an attention whore. “She wants attention like immediate,” says Kim, recalling Danielle having a diva moment when the pair was out shopping. “One day we were out in Neiman Marcus and she said, ‘I don’t carry bags, they can carry the bags for me or they can send them to my house.’

Kim however made sure to add that Danielle “doesn’t have money, and she returns everything.”

It gets even better folks as Kim G. accuses Danielle of not being loyal or trustworthy. “She really never said anything that would kill me, it’s the backstabbing, it’s the sneakiness, I just said, ‘Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the trust?, says the pot.

In other prostitution whore news, RadarOnline is reporting that Danielle called the cops this weekend after an ex-con from her past, Danny Aguilar, called her demanding a payment of $100,000.

And no this is not the same Danny, Danielle’s other ex-con buddy, who appears regularly on the show. According to Radar, Danny Aguilar is a convicted felon who was charged as Danielle’s co-defendant during her infamous 1986 arrest for kidnapping, drugs, extortion etc. Perhaps it would be easier to name the crimes Danielle hasn’t been arrested for.

Danny reportedly called Danielle on Sunday night demanding $100,000 he says she still owes him for bailing her out years ago with some big time drug dealers.

Danny told Radar, “My money got her out of trouble with these drug dealers. They wanted her dead and I didn’t want them to kill her. I paid for it. We all got popped, everyone went to jail and she snitched.”

After the 1986 arrest, Danielle entered into a plea bargain with prosecutors and agreed to testify against Danny and others in exchange for five years probation and mandatory cocaine testing.

Danielle called the Wayne County police station on Sunday to report Danny was stalking her. Danny however makes it clear he is no stalker, “I’m the ‘Real McCoy, I’m the one that did 15 years in a federal penitentiary over you. I’m no stalker.”

Which brings us back to Jeff Lewis’s appearance on Watch What Happens this week, during which he asked how many times a day does Danielle call up the Wayne County police?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: The New Housewife…

by Reality Tea on July 20th, 2010

Apologies in advance for the poor embarrassing tragic photoshopping skills. With that being said, let’s get right to the recap of episode 11 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, brilliantly titled – Staub Wounds.

The episode starts out with a scene of Teresa and hubby Juicy Joe, as they get the girls ready so Joe can take them out. For a minute there, I was touched at the thought of Joe being a good father to his little girls, well that is, until Teresa casually mentions that Joe threats their daughters like boys, you know because he hasn’t been able to get the son(s) he wants after 4 tries…

Things then take a disturbing turn when Joe makes his very young daugthers fight each other after their karate lesson. I just found this scene to be all kinds of wrong and disturbing. Nothing wrong with putting his daugthers in karate/taekwondo, but the making them fight each other was just wrong and icky to watch.

We move on to victim Danielle, who has decided the best way to protect her weave self is to take self defense classes, at the suggestion of her ex-con rumored bed buddy Danny, who spends the entire time standing back in ring glaring at Dirty D. Danielle of course is involving her two daugthers in her quest to be the ultimate fighter. Danny suggests Danielle picture Teresa and Jacqueline in front of her as a means to add more fuel to her fighting fire. The Bravo cameras then pan to Danielle’s daugther Christine, who looks pretty embarrassed and would probably rather be back home doing homework at this moment.

Danielle gives us her best dose of crazy during her 1 on 1 interview when she declares, “Walking away is not good enough for them. They want to make you feel like the prey. And then they sit there and they go, I don’t know why you keep you saying you’re the victim. Well Bitch cause I am. Stop effing chasing me!”

The former prostitution coke whore then declares, “It only takes one good smack to the head to make a person never walk again.”

We see Jacqueline at home, and Kim Granatell, who is arguably the most two faced person in the universe, decides to pay a visit. I’m just going to refer to Kim G. as the newest housewife from here on out. I don’t even think she’s auditioning anymore for a slot on the show, she has obviously replaced Dina. No need to wait for a press release from Bravo. So why exactly did Kim G. show up to Jacque’s? Well to stir up the drama pot of course! The two rehash the country club drama and Kim G. informs us clumps did indeed come out of Danielle’s head.

Next up, we see Mama Bear Caroline making individualized eggs for all three of her very adult children. Two of the kids leave to go to work and Caroline and Albie McHottie Manzo discuss his future. Albie informs his mom that he needs to get a recommendation letter from his old law school before he can get into a new school.

Teresa, who filed bankruptcy just a few weeks before this episode was filmed, is shown going into Kim DePaola’s boutique Posche to do some shopping, but then again Teresa is never really shown shopping, but rather talking during her time there. Teresa once again assures the world her house is absolutely not in foreclosure. Stalker Wannabe new housewife Kim G. then randomly shows up, wearing a very age inappropriate sleeveless fur attire. Teresa once again states that she meant well in trying to strike up a conversation with Danielle, despite admitting on last week’s episode of Watch What Happens that her intention was to confront Danielle on some of the rumors she was spreading about her.

Teresa then makes a funny, the funniest quote of the night actually, when she states, “The only thing I regret about that night was pushing Kim G. because she is an older woman and I do respect the elderly.” Hilarious, especially considering that it came from the very unintelligent Teresa. And how old is Kim G. by the way? She can’t be a day younger than 70 60, no?

Preview The Real Housewives of New Jersey: The Aftermath

by Reality Tea on July 19th, 2010

In tonight’s new episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, the NJ housewives attempt to move on from the unbeweavable drama that took place last we… Ok not really, tonight’s episode is basically a sequel to last week’s drama.

Danielle seeks her day in court in the wake of the hair-raising (and hair-pulling) tangle. On the other side of the law, Caroline’s son Albie tries to forge his career as a lawyer. Meanwhile, Jacqueline’s daughter Ashley has to face the repercussions of her behavior.

The funniest part of tonight’s episode however comes in the form of Teresa Giudice and hubby Juicy Joe Giudice. The husband and wife duo, who might or might not be going to prison in the near future, can be seen tonight joking about losing their home while Joe shows Teresa around a pizza parlor and an apartment complex, two new business ventures he plans to open.

There’s a very good chance tonight’s episode of the NJ Housewives is part of the reason the Giudices bankruptcy trustee is now accusing them of perjury and concealing assets. The assets the Giudices are accused of concealing? It just happens to include a certain a pizza parlor and Laundromat.

“Joe owns a construction company. He’s always been an entrepreneur,” Teresa says before asking, “That means a person that own their own businesses, right?”

While showing Teresa around the apartment complex, Joe makes a joke telling his wife they will soon be living in one of the apartment suites.

Teresa however makes it clear Joe was simply kidding. “Joe is totally kidding that I’m going to be living in one of those apartments. That’s never going to happen. I could never see myself living there,” Teresa says at the end of the clip, before winking at the camera. Priceless irony all around.

Danielle Staub will also be appearing on tonight’s episode of Watch What Happens.

The preview clip is below -

PHOTOS: Teresa Giudice Shows Off Home, Danielle Staub Getting Sued By Another Ex

by Reality Tea on July 18th, 2010

Despite the fact that she and her husband Joe Giudice are being accused of perjury, in the form of concealing assets during their bankruptcy filing, in addition to an auction date set for August 22nd to auction off the contents of their home items to pay off their creditors, Teresa Giudice is showing off her home in the latest issue of In Touch magazine.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who seems to be in major denial when it comes to her financial and legal woes, tells the mag of her 12,000-square-foot NJ mansion: “My house is very warm — even though it’s big, it’s very inviting and that’s what I love.”

And despite the fact that her husband’s finances are being investigated by the IRS plus the very public knowledge of her $11 million debt, Teresa makes certain to brag about just how luxurious her mansion is. “We had our house built with nothing but marble, granite and onyx,” she says, “I don’t think you can ever have too much of that. I could’ve had even more,” says Teresa the idiot.

Teresa could also be heard bragging that her mansion is worth $5 mil in last week’s episode of the Real Housewives of NJ, despite the fact that it’s value was listed at $1.7 mil in their bankruptcy filing. More photos of Teresa’s home below.

In other NJ news, more legal woes for Danielle Staub. Just days after her ex-boytoy/former sex tape partner Steve Zalewski filed suit against her for defamation, Zap2It is now reporting that her ex-husband is also planning to file a new lawsuit against her within the next two weeks .

That ex-husband is Kevin Maher, the man who wrote ‘Cop Without A Badge,’ the book which details Danielle’s sordid past as a prostitution coke whore.

Kevin tells Zap2it his attorneys will file a lawsuit against Danielle, her book’s alleged ghost writer and its publisher, Simon & Schuster for “lies” found in her book, “The Naked Truth.”

And what exactly are those lies? “The lie that she told about me was that I beat her in a cocaine stupor for days,” Kevin says. “And then when the police showed up, I confessed and then I went to prison.” He adds, “I was never in prison in my adult life. Period.”

Kevin also reveals he is actually working with Steve and that the two had hoped their suits would hit together. “Steve and I were working together,” he reveals. “We wanted to sue her on both coasts at the same time, but my lawyer was too busy and Steve beat us to it.”

NJ Housewife Teresa Giudice and Hubby Accused Of Concealing Assets In Bankruptcy

by Reality Tea on July 16th, 2010

They say when it rains it pours, and when it comes to the financial troubles of Teresa Giudice, it seems to be storming.

First news came out that the Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her husband Joe Giudice filed for bankruptcy last October to the tune of $11 million in debt. Then the NYPost also reported the Giudices’ finances was being investigated by the IRS. News of a $1 million fraud/forgery lawsuit against Joe by his ex-business partner also made headlines.

Fast forward to today and there is now a new story from Zap2It, via the Wall Street Journal, stating the Giudices are being investigated for concealing some of their assets during their bankruptcy filing.

The accusation comes directly from their Chapter 7 trustee John Sywilok, who is responsible for rounding up the couple’s assets in order to distribute payments to their creditors. Sywilok is investigating them for concealing income and assets.

They alleged assets & income concealed include:

Interests in a pizza parlor and Laundromat,
Teresa’s TG Fabulicious clothing and accessories company, and
Teresa’s “Skinny Italian” cookbook, which is a New York Times bestseller

Sywilok also accuses the couple of making false statements under oath about their assets, income and expenses. Perhaps some of our readers knowledgeable in law can comment on the seriousness of this accusation. Is it right up there with tax evasion?

But the financial troubles still doesn’t end there for Teresa and Joe. While Teresa continues to try to convince us her home is safe, despite the fact that it was publicly listed for sale last month, albeit briefly, it seems the contents of her home might be in serious jeopardy.

The trustee is also trying to hold a public auction for the contents of the Giudices $1.7 $5 million NJ mansion, which happens to be the home they live in.

The auction has already been set for August 22, and up for grabs will be the couple’s home furnishings, accessories, tools and a boat.

Ironically enough, Teresa, who might or might not be completely out of touch with reality, is in this week’s issue of InTouch magazine showing off her home. Teresa tells the mag, “We had our house built with nothing but marble, granite and onyx.” She adds,“I don’t think you can ever have too much of that. I could’ve had even more.” And folks, we simply can’t make this up.

Real NJ Housewife Danielle Staub Being Sued By Former Sex Tape Partner

by Reality Tea on July 16th, 2010

Another day, another lawsuit involving a Real Housewives of New Jersey star.

Just days after announcing her lawsuit against her co-stars for assault and defamation, Danielle Staub now finds herself on the receiving end of karma a new lawsuit being filed by her former sex tape partner.

RadarOnline is reporting today that Steve Zalewski, is suing the reality star for defamation of character and harassment. Steve is the same ex that tried to sell a sex tape of he and Danielle a year ago, but was unsuccessful as Danielle won an injunction to stop the release of the tape so she could shop around a better quality one less than a year later. Steve appeared on the 1st season of the Bravo show as Danielle’s “boyfriend.”

The basis of the lawsuit stems from Danielle’s comments about Steve on this season of the RHONJ. In the episode titled “Play at Your Own Risk”, Danielle claims that Steve had filmed the sex tape without her knowledge or consent, much to the non-belief of her fellow co-stars.

Steve’s attorney, Nase Naumoski, denies Danielle’s claims, telling Radar that Danielle absolutely knew about the sex tape and even filmed parts of it herself! Naumoski also adds that they have emails & texts messages that show Danielle knew about the tape & was actually all for it.

Naumoski continues that such claims that Danielle didn’t consent or know of such a tape made his client look like an out right criminal.

RadarOnline also spoke to Steve who says because of the episode, “I have people come up to me in restaurants telling me I’m going to hell, I’m not a good person. I try to explain to people I didn’t do anything wrong. She would send me video texts of her playing with her self, I have nothing to do with that.”

Steve adds, “Basically I want her to stop lying and ruining people’s lives, she’s really out of her mind, there’s something wrong with her. She plays the victim and says everyone is out to get her, but it’s really the other way around.”

Below is a photo of Steve with Danielle -

Jacqueline Laurita On Danielle Staub’s Lawsuit: ‘She’s Pathetic’ Plus Danielle’s Diet!

by Reality Tea on July 15th, 2010

Just days after Danielle Staub announced her plans to sue all “perpetrators” involved in the fashion show fiasco, co-star Jacqueline Laurita is now slamming her lawsuit.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who is looking much slimmer nowadays, thinks the lawsuit is pathetic. “You can’t defame someone who defames herself,” Jacqueline told Zap2It. “I have not told any lies about her. I never physically touched her or threatened her, so I am not worried.”

Danielle’s attorney, Paul Giblin told the HollywoodLife on Tuesday, “We are going to use this footage and prepare a case against these women,” despite the fact that Jacqueline’s daughter, Ashely Holmes, was the only one shown physically attacking Danielle. Giblin continued, “We are seeking assault and battery charges, defamation of character and punitive damages as well.

No one was arrested as a result of the attack, but Ashley did get fined $189 by the courts for pulling Danielle’s “hair.”

As for Jacqueline, she feels this is just another way for Danielle to get publicity. “She will do anything, and I mean anything, to stay in the press,” she says. “I think she’s pathetic and desperate. Maybe she has a fear that she won’t be asked to return next year so she’s grasping at straws to keep a connection between us. I don’t know.”

In other Danielle Staub news, a new story by Star magazine asks, ‘What Happened to Danielle Staub’s Face?’

The above before and after photo is posted and some surgical experts try to determine what work the 47-year-old hasn’t has had done. The after photo was taken on July 6th.

“Is she wearing a mask?” asks Palm Beach-based dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Beer. “Her proportions are not correct anymore, because it appears she’s had too much filler injected into her lips and cheeks.”

Danielle is also featured in this week’s ‘What I Ate Today’ column in OK! magazine. Her diet seems slightly less restrictive than Kelly Bensimon’s 700 calorie a day starvation diet.

Below is a sample of what Danielle eats during a normal day:

Breakfast: a bagel
Snack: almonds and a Venti white chocolate peppermint mocha
Lunch: grilled chicken wrap
Dinner: grilled chicken salad with snow peas and mandarin oranges

NJ Housewife Teresa Giudice Wants a Restraining Order Against Danielle

by Reality Tea on July 14th, 2010

Sometimes it seems the off screen drama that goes on amongst the Bravo housewives is even juicer than what is shown on TV.

Less than 24 hours after Bravo aired with country club fight scene on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, HollywoodLife reported Danielle Staub’s decision to sue her co-stars Teresa, Ashley and all others she deemed responsible for the fiasco.

Well Teresa Giudice, who lies claims she wasn’t trying to pick a fight with Danielle during her Monday appearance on Watch What Happens, is now responding to Danielle’s asinine lawsuit story.

Teresa tells Popeater, “Believe me, if we could get a restraining order against a cast member, Danielle would have had four against her already. I never threatened her. She, however, has been on camera threatening me, stalking me, and even practicing doing me harm.”

And what does Teresa think of Danielle’s accusation that she defamed her character? “Don’t make me laugh. I think she’s defamed her own reputation all by herself,” she adds.

The Popeater article reveals Danielle’s lawsuit announcement might just be a publicity stunt as Bravo “has tight contracts with the ‘Housewives,’ so the women can’t sue each other.” No word yet on if Danielle has actually filed the lawsuit.

Plus to my knowledge, if Danielle does decide to sue any of her castmates, there’s a very good chance Bravo will cut all ties with her, for very good reason. If the housewives start suing each other, it will lead to less drama on the shows as none of them will want to risk getting sued.

In other NJ news, Monday night’s episode was the highest in the show’s history. It brought in an astonishing 3.29 million viewers total. Just to show you how great those numbers are, the Kelly Benismon “breakthrough” episode on the Real Housewives of New York City brought in 2.32 million viewers in comparison. Seems violence sells over crazy.
