Danielle Staub: Former Stripper And Coke Fiend?!?


NYPost.com:

IF you thought the women on the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" were as hardcore as can be, you may soon be in for a bigger surprise.

In the weeks ahead, the show is apparently going to expose some blockbuster revelations about one of the cast members, Danielle Staub.

Staub has hinted on the show that she has some secrets. And now they seem to have been revealed in a out-of-print book about the life of a petty criminal and police informant.

The show's producers have not yet said what those revelations are. But the book, "Cop Without a Badge" contains some radioactive information.

It tells the story of ex-con and government informer Kevin Maher and his gal pal, Beverly Merrill -- who, in a mug shot in the book, bears a striking resemblance to Staub. According to the book, Merrill is described as a man-hungry hellion, who is busted with her boyfriend and winds up as a stripper.

Merrill becomes tangled up with Maher after her former boyfriend kidnaps a kid in a drug deal gone bad. Maher arranges a deal for Merrill, five years probation in exchange for pleading guilty to extortion, according to the book.

Merrill later marries Maher, but it doesn't last.

Afterward, according to the book, she changes her name to Danielle and takes a job as a stripper at the Satin Dolls club, the North Jersey club that subbed for The Bada Bing in "The Sopranos," A search by The Post indicated that a Beverly Merrill is connected to Staub though public records.

So far, 3 episodes in, "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" has revolved around Staub and this stuff will only add to the drama. "Beverly Merrill" is definitely Danielle and it looks like she's had a lot of work done on her face. But with a sordid past like that, who can blame her for the complete identity change? Danielle's dropping hints that Dina knows what's up, but I guess we'll all have to just wait and see.

  1. Recall W just doubled his salary during his administration, from $200k to $400k. I suspect he is not alone.
    If you are unwilling to layoff Federal employees to balance the budget and bring costs back into line every single one needs to take a 50% reduction in salary.
    It's like it's fucking Bell, CA everywhere.

    goddamn Republicans make me sick.
    Republicans are all about greed and corruption while the Democrats are about social poison. And this is the system we live in
    When Ronald Reagan took office the Federal debt was $1 trillion. When he left it was $6 trillion.\
    These people are fucking filthy hypoctrites. It is perfectly acceptable to spend when it is an act of war, subcontractor friends like Halliburton or to “bailout” their donor friends.
    Despite their attempts at revising history by blaming the black guy recall this economic disaster we are in was all W's doing.
    Whereas once “greed is good” now “greed is legal”. Thanks to Reagan's rewriting of the tax code and and further legislation/welfare for the wealthy.
    And they all believe the lie. They think they will go, reals and fake clone hosts, when the reality is they will be reincarnated into this country's collapse for the economic horror they created for others.
