That's Danielle Staub In "Cop Without A Badge" Book

Ok, the word, rumors, gossip, whatever concerning Danielle Staub is now official:

After the teaser on last week's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," we were all waiting to find out about Danielle and her mug shot in the book "Cop Without a Badge."

But first, we have to hear a recap of the gossip from last week as Teresa and Jacqueline sit down with Danielle to discuss all the nonsense. Which, as is the case with drama queens the world over, meant that Danielle would barely let anyone else finish a sentence, went on and on about how victimized she is and did her damnedest to attempt to squeeze out a few tears. Among the rumors was the husband chasing and offering a personal trainer sex in exchange for training - a charge Danielle dismisses by informing us that she owes more than $25,000 to Neiman Marcus, so why would she chase someone with a salary as low as a personal trainer. She does know that fitness training is not like marriage, right?

Danielle is convinced that Dina is the one who is doing all the talking, but Dina is more concerned with her daughter going to Cyprus with her father for two weeks. Because Dina seems to think Cyprus is a third world country where they don't have toilet paper, diseases run rampant, older men are looking to impress young American girls (Lexi isn't even a teenager yet) and terrorists are lurking around every corner.

Teresa's husband Joe decides he wants them to take salsa lessons and Jacqueline and her husband, Caroline's kids, and Danielle all go too. Caroline watches uncomfortably as Danielle cougar eyes her son and grabs his hips in an effort to teach him how to move. But things get even more uncomfortable when Joe keeps calling things "gay" and Danielle tells him to knock it off (which, I agree with, frankly). Joe tells her to 'be quiet; and Danielle shoots back that he can't talk to her like that because she is not his wife. They all leave awkwardly as Teresa tries to figure out if she was insulted or not. She decides she is, hangs up on Danielle when she tries to talk about what happened at the dance lesson, and gets to the business of moving into her ridiculously over the top house and focusing on Gia's career.

Finally getting to the book issue, Caroline, Dina and Teresa get their hands on it and read it. As they report, Danielle was involved with kidnapping, the Colombian drug cartel and prostitution. Jacqueline meets with Danielle and asks if the man she was dating was involved in those things and Danielle flatly responds "I'm not going to answer that" and then explains in a confessional that if she was involved in it, Jacqueline should have figured it out by now. Which is a specious argument at best.
