Danielle Staub is the same woman she was when the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” started. Shady, loud, aggressive and somewhat desperate to be on this show that she claims she doesn’t need and sometimes can’t stand. This season is no different. The mom of 2 gorgeous girls came back with a bang as a friend of the show. Every time she was on the scene something insane would go down. Most notable would be that infamous hair-pulling situation that went down in a high-end boutique. She and co-star Teresa Giudice received a lot of backlash for ponytail-gate and typical for Staub she doesn’t feel bad about it.

Now, she is sinking her negative teeth into Melissa Gorga and her husband Joey Gorga. During a taping of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey After show”, Danielle got vicious about her former friend. When asked about the awkward one-on-one conversation that she and Melissa had on the season finale, Danielle thought it was laughable. "So funny. I don't give Melissa a second thought anymore.” She even went on to say yet again that Melissa is only on the show because of her. She has mentioned this in past interviews in reference to both Melissa and Margaret Josephs.

Danielle went in on Melissa picking at anything that threatens to hurt her former friend’s feelings. “Your greatest goal and achievement in your life is opening a boutique? Congratulations, thousands of people do it all the time. It's not that special.” Yikes those are harsh words and she wasn’t done there. She went on to dig into Joey and what she thinks they have done to her. “I don't care about her. I don't care about Joey [Gorga]. I don't care what they think about me. They both used me. Well, that's not gonna happen any further.”

She continued to blame her co-stars including Melissa for the unfortunate breakup of her friendship with Teresa. “It dawned on me that day the only reason I was there and invited to come there was to try to push me out of Teresa's life because they need someone to blame.” Blame for what exactly? The women have always said that Danielle never takes responsibility for her actions and this, right here, may be the proof. It seems like Danielle doesn’t believe that she is to blame for anything that went down at the clothing boutique that day or any of the other times she was had problems with co-stars. Even though all the women can count multiple times they have had a problem with Danielle.

"All this time, I thought that I'd be mortified when I saw it play out," said Danielle. "Total opposite! And I am not a violent person.” Danielle referring to herself as not violent it laughable seeing as she is usually engaged in some kind of fight or argument with these women. She went on to say, “there's only so much a person's gonna take before they just start to push back. And I did. And I don't remember. Blacking out during an argument is never a good feeling. “I saw red, said Danielle. My only regret is not doing it sooner! And having somebody tell me to do it." Well, who else can’t wait to see these women go at it during the reunion?
