The Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa's meltdown

Fans of Bravo’s “The Real Desperate Housewives of New Jersey” are still trying to catch their breathe after the explosive season finale. During the finale a few things happened: Teresa showed Dina her finished house and debut her "bubbies", Dina gave up her career as an event planner and former supermodel Danielle's name was continously on everyone's lips. But the real drama started when Danielle arrived at the dinner party (don't worry Teresa did invite Danielle) Teresa threw in honor of her finished house.

In one of the classiest moves ever -- cough -- Danielle placed the infamous Cop Without a Badgebook ( penned by Danielle’s first ex-husband focusing on Danielle’s criminal and scandalous past as a rumored stripper and kidnapping extortionist) on top of the dinner table pointing it toward Dina. The topic of the book reared its ugly head once again, and caused not only one of the biggest blowouts during the history of the Desperate Housewives franchise – that only Jersey girls can bring – but Teresa’s meltdown! At a dinner hosted by the usually even tempered Teresa, Caroline lied and defended Dina’s actions against Danielle during an argument concerning the book being show to the town of Franklin Lakes. As Danielle tried to defend herself and clear up rumors surrounding the book she implied Teresa was stupid for not realizing the "two truths" (which were Danielle's arrest and name change). That set Teresa off and led to her flipping the dinner table over. Theresa later dismissed the action stating, “I’m Italian, I have a bad temper and I’m sorry ... [Danielle] even came.”

The dinner caused another big surprise this season when Jacqueline finally stood up for herself and defended Danielle by telling the truth: Dina was the one who tracked the book down and made sure all the housewives were informed. During one of Caroline’s rants about the importance of sticking together as a family, Jacqueline replied, “family or not, what’s right is right.” Good for you Jacqueline! But if you did not get your fill of the drama during the last super, don’t forget to tune in for the one hour director’s cut this Thursday!

And to those viewers in Beverly Hills who think they have the right stuff to become a housewife for Bravo, the latest installment [The Real Desperate Housewives of Beverly Hills] for the franchise is holding casting calls.

    It was tasteless, classless of Danielle to bring her dirty laundry and cause a confrontation at this dinner in front of the kids and involving the husbands. If the issue needed to be aired she should have done it at a time the women were together. She abused Teresa's hospitality and had her own children witness that scene. No wonder Teresa flipped out! The woman is a loser and her problem should be handled with a suit against the X-husband who authored the book. Problm is you can't sue for telling the truth. She should be avaided as wherever she is there wil be drama and family strife.

    The sister's who lied and lied and lied...looked completely unethical and classless. Good for Jaqueline for looking like a person of integrity and honor.

  • annemarie 2 years ago

    Teresa actions were unlady like.teresa had no right to talk to danielle in such matter.

  • Team Danielle! 2 years ago

    Donat, no what was tasteless and classless was Teresa flipping a table and talking about Joe trying to get some at the dinner table with her kids just a few feet away. Good for Danielle! Dina and Caroline looked like fools!

  • GINA 2 years ago

    I REALLY DID LIKE THE SISTERS AND THOUGHT DANIELLE WAS CRAZY BUT ACTUALLY THEY ARE GET TO KNOW SOMEONE BEFORE BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEAR

  • Lauren 2 years ago

    Ha! Well that was too funny. Danielle was wrong for her timing, if she wanted to clear the air, there was a better way to do it. To do it at Teresa's dinner party, in front of everyone's children and spouses was highly inappropriate. She should be happy Teresa didn't slap her

  • Karen 2 years ago

    omg How rude Danielle is. Someone is nice enough to invite her to a party and she behaves just like the lowlife she is. In front of the kids and husbands she ruined the party with no regard for anyone else. As soon as she saw everyone paying attention to Theresa she had to steal her thunder. She has no respect for her children or any ones children, no respect for her hostess and no respect for her so called friend Jacqueline. And whats up with Jac she lets her get away with that. She should have ask to speak to the women in private. I really lost all respect for Jac she was one of my favorite now not so much. Jac how can you let a low life like that into your family, she never cares about what position she puts you in--wise up thats no friend. Theresa, don't get soft and start talking to that pig. Chris grow a backbone that woman was way out of line you wouldn't let a guy do that to your family. How could you let her talk to Theresa like that. HOW embarrassing for all your children.

    If anyone actually watched the whole season, everyone would know during the episode about the book CAROLINE said her niece found the book, and they went to the library to go get it. CAROLINE said she read it and then invited Dina and Teresa over to tell them about it. Caroline didn't lie at dinner, and Danielle knew she was putting her friend Jacqueline in a weird position by bringing it all up again. Danielle insulted Teresa at her dinner party, and then cries that she didn't want this.

    I respect Caroline for standing up to what she did, Dina for saying she took pleasure in finding out abut the book, and Teresa for not letting a b**** insult her at her party. Jacqueline - she clearly chose her friend of a FEW MONTHS over her family of 6 YEARS, and Danielle needs to act like she knows what class is before she goes around demanding RESPECT of career women that take care of their family on their own, instead of h*ing for the rent, waiting for a man to take care of her and her kids.

  • N.Y.viewer 2 years ago

    I think Teresa really showed what the words no class mean ,If I were a friend of her's I would have been embarrassed for her...You have got to be kidding me typical rich bitch from Jersey.BRAVO to Jacqueline for being stand up!!

  • Disgusted in Orlando 2 years ago

    I feel that danielle was wrong in bringing the book to the dinner however I'm glad that she put those 2 pretentious sisters in thier place. There's Caroline who think she's some kind of mafia boss (my family this my family that) give me a break, she has a daughter who probably needs to be back in somebody's school or perhaps mommie will find or buy her a husband too. Dina who got lucky because her sister set her up with a man who has money (her husband brother). Teresa who has no class and is raising her girls to be spoiled little children with no social skills nor manner or respect and Jacqueline who seems to be genuine, has intergrity and will not be pulled into the sisters "mess" and happens to be married to one of the nicest men I've seen on any of your program (good for backing your wife. I like how she handle her daughter's bad behavior and grades.The only one who really showed geniune class in the who bunch was Jacqueline. Just goes to show you that money can't buy class.

  • kecia 2 years ago

    come on people i don'nt no what show some of you saw,that was so good for dina & caroline.for the whole show they talked about danielle i felt everything she did.and she did'nt act like a fool dina,caroline,theresa did.i guess its a lot of you out there that will let people walk all over you not me ,i feel danielle also love jacqueline. peace out somebody holla if you feel me.

  • Layla 2 years ago

    I'm on Danielle's side on this one. I thought UH OH initially when she brought out the book, but she handled herself with dignity and class, and had EVERY RIGHT to defend herself against rumors and gossip floating around town about HER! What was really unclassy and undignified was Teresa railing on Danielle - who is this fool??? - talking about SEX with CHILDREN in the room at the next table and losing her mind and flipping the table and CURSING LIKE A LOW CLASS HOOKER in front of the CHILDREN AGAIN!!! Dina and Caroline are liars and went in circles trying to weasle their way out of the deep hole they dug for themselves. Jacqueline and her husband have class, dignity and integrity to speak up and say what they both did. Thank God being part of the same family doesn't automatically give you the same neuroses!

  • Team Danielle! 2 years ago

    Nikki, if you would have watched tonights episode you would have heard Jacqueline admit that Dina was the one that found the book online, not a niece, and how both Dina and Caroline brought the book into their hair salon even though they both initially denied showing the book in the salon. So yes, THEY ARE LIARS!!!!

  • JoJo 2 years ago

    It wasn't about who FOUND the book like someone said below, it was about who went around TOWN SHOWING THE BOOK to others, including at the hair salon!!! It was DINA!

  • kecia 2 years ago

    GO NIKKI!! MY GIRL

  • JoJo 2 years ago

    And yeah Jacqueline got caught in the middle not by Danielle, but by Dina and Caroline doing their dirt, finding it online, inviting Teresa over to share it w/her, AND take it to the hair salon. Those 3 have absolutely no class and are a bunch of evil bitches. Then again, those in the mob usually are.. "thick as thieves."

  • natalie 2 years ago

    danielle could have probably chosen another occasion to clear things up nonetheless she had all of them sitting down and it was just an opportunity to clear things up about "the book" and all the gossip the others had been spreading around--danielle cleared things up in a respectful way, theresa reacted like a crazy woman, NOT CLASSY at all no matter what!!! jacqueline the BEST! Dina needs to take responsibility for what she says or does and caroline needs to back off and take charge of her children-her sister is old enough to take responsibility for her actions!

  • Brenda 2 years ago

    Danielle did right confronting these slimy, backstabbing, hypocrites on national television. If it would have been in private the other woman would have lied about what was said and it it would have been a "she said he said". If anyone had watched My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding on VH1, you'd know what a pathetic sad woman Dina is. She has no life and Danielle's past gave her something to fret about. Teresa needs to be medicated. She also shouldn't talk about having class when she spoke about her husband doing her so much that she was so sore, at the dinner table with children around. Disgusting! Caroline has no life she meddles in everyone else's business so that she feels important and needed. Jaqueline is probably the most honest and sane person here. I just pray she can survive the insanity of the sisters, Dina and Caroline. Sometimes, friends are better than your own family.

  • Brenda 2 years ago

    Does anyone know why Dina and Caroline's husband never appeared?

  • stacy 2 years ago

    Danielle is jsut so lame,and desprite!

  • Kacee 2 years ago

    Caroline's husband appeared 1x or 2x, one time when they were trying to school their dumb as rocks daughter on what diplomacy and dicatorships were. DUH. And I read somewhere that Dina's husband is a real slime ball player type. He probably didn't want his face on national tv so he could continue doing his dirt on the side.

  • stacy 2 years ago

    Jacqueline is a jackass! I love Caroline she is a badass and down 100% for her family. You never go against family,espically not to defend a big ho like danelle!

  • Crazy-wives fan! 2 years ago

    Did anybody catch Caroline's comment to Jacqueline at the end? Paraphrasing "you know who you're hurting? My parents" Get over yourself Caroline an don't try to lay some guilt trip on Jacqueline for being honest and forth right. I'd sooner think Caroline's parents would be hurt & embarrassed by the behavior of their daughters! Hopefully they are proud that their son married a woman with integrity, and showed the good sense to put a stop to the bickering and pointing out how ridiculous they all were acting. Shame on you Caroline & Dina. Teresa, get over the fact that someone referred to you as not being too bright.....after that display of class during dinner I think that's the least of your problems.

  • JP 2 years ago

    The odd thing about Dina's husband, Tommy, is that he DID appear on the episode of "My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding" which chronicled their lavish wedding four years ago (which, by the way, ended up costing $1.15 million!). And take it from me, he is hardly shown to be the 'shy, retiring' type. In that episode, it's obvious that he's a workaholic, so I think that was part of the reason he never appeared on TRHONJ. But I do find it odd that the producers of the show felt it wasn't necessary to explain his non-appearance, or at least show him fleetingly. I mean, we didn't even see him ONCE! And we saw all the other husbands, at some point...even Al, whose appearances were brief and pretty low-key. I think that if the show comes back for a second season they'll have to either put Tommy on or explain his absence in a more satisfactory way, because it just doesn't add up, and it'll end up being a nagging question in a lot of people's minds if he continues to not be around.

  • vlade 2 years ago

    I grew up in Bergen County. These people all have mob ties! Franklin Lakes borders on Paterson which is a mob and drug haven and where all the money they get probably comes from. I've been to the Brownstone and it's a dump!!! They're all WWT's (Wealthly White Trash)

  • Pam 2 years ago

    Theresa, is the most ridiculous and patethic housewife with no class. No excuse for her behavior in the last episode of the show. Nobody was taking about her. She will be nothing with out her rich husband .

  • Tammy 2 years ago

    Did anyone catch the very end of the 2nd part? Apparently Danielle did something or was going to do something to Dina and Caroline will not let it go. Danielle denys knowing what they are talking about. Caroline kept saying she will never forgive Danielle and the only reason she will not talk about it is because Dina asked her not to?

  • Jennifer H. 2 years ago

    I appreciate Caroline wisdom and dignity thru out the season especially at final episode. She is my favorite housewife out of all the housewives.

  • missbelle 2 years ago

    teresa's blowout was awesome! makes her a true fine italian!!! loved it, thought it was pretty classy. besides she's a looker, the pretty ones are always the ones you have to watch out for!!!

  • mary 2 years ago

    Well done Danielle, she showed brought out the pig in theresa- love it. I lost respect for her as a mother when she talked dirty in front of the children. "Classy lady",where? Maybe the monkey a the zoo all they do is entertain people fighting and shagging. The excuse of being Italian - come on!
    Corleoni Caroline, ha ha you barbies granny hurt your family, look at your brother cringe. Why don't you go away hear the fingers snap. I did'nt like Dannielle but she has more brains and balls than you three fools. Make another zoo oops show soon.

  • Sarah 2 years ago

    Why did Caroline think she could make Dannielle back down? Desperation embarrassmnent not a bright family. Why did Theresa think she was a `classy Italian. I'm disappointed you let Dannielle wipe the floor with you all.

  • Rickie 2 years ago

    Think it is really sad that they picked on Danielle, sure her past may have been unsavoury but that was her past, and we all make mistakes. What a lying wicked family ...go Jacqueline.
