"Calling names" denotes, in my mind at least, picking out one characteristic of a person and degrading them down to that one quality. Whore, ****, a-hole, etc. etc. Caroline's calling D "garbage" got down to her very core - what she, as a whole person - is. Not some small aspect of her past or her life, but what she is. I don't think it detracted from C's class at all to tell D that she was garbage. JMO, though! :)

I agree. And so what - it was true the things she said to Danielle. I understand Caroline's purpose for the meeting, but she knew it was useless since she was dealing with Danielle. Bravo certainly had a hand in this "showdown".

It would be nice if Danielle could see the stark difference between her & Caroline after last night's show. Danielle ridiculously calling herself the "martriarch" of two girls that she treats like BFFs while Caroline returned from the meeting to a room full of family & friends that love her. This has to burn Danielle up to the core since that is what she wants.

I REALLY wish Bravo would confirm the rumors about Danielle not returning to the show. It could do without her. The show needs a villainess that is not as delusional as Danielle and can use the correct plural form of "woman".

Oh Japhson - you are so bad!!! Wonder if she will take her beloved head with her.

DH and I just watched Monday night's episode and the whole meeting between the psycho and Caroline was definitely staged. It makes for good television.

I've really grown to like Caroline over the past 2 seasons. I didn't care for her at first because I thought she was abrasive and OTT, but we've seen another side of her this time around and I like her a lot.

I think we got to know each of the womAn (haha) better this season.
Caroline seems like a great, loving, and loyal person. I also really like Albert. He seems like a great husband and father, and calls it like it is.

Jacqueline seems nice, but kinda boring and useless. Her parenting 'skills' leave something to be desired. Let's hope her boys turn out better than Ashley. I love her hubby though. Chris seems like a wonderful guy with a good head on his shoulders.

Dina showed what a class act she was by trying to resolve the conflict with Danielle and then leaving the show.

Caroline, Dina, and Chris are certainly a testament to how awesome their parents must be! They are all level-headed, loyal, and don't put up with BS but do so with maturity and composure. I want to see a Laurita-Manzo show and get to know the other siblings!

Danielle just proved that she really IS garbage, no doubt about it. Her paranoia and drama are too much for me. I'm glad she's not returning (hopefully!).

And Teresa...SMH. Not much better than Danielle. She's all about putting on an image, which I can't stand. I really stopped liking her when she let Gia and Milania ride on that 4-wheeler without helmets and was more worried about them getting their 'clothes' wet and dirty. I hope she learns her lesson the hard way. It's been painfully funny to watch how much more irate Joe gets in each episode. It's obvious he knew about the financial issues when they were filming and she just turned a blind eye. I still don't understand her reasoning for their mess. The only way I want to watch her again on the show is living above the pizza parlor.

Just my 2 cents for the day

I think she claimed that her ex killed her dog. Oh Kevin Maher is the guy from THE BOOK aka Cop Without A Badge.

Of course, she has already lost her busted up Sex and the City crew. She needs someone to roll with as part of Danielle's Mafia.

Yes, totally different ex and she did not kill a dog, she accused her first ex husband of that.

It's all over a $5 million lawsuit filed by Danielle's ex Kevin Maher -- who claims Staub slandered him when she claimed Kevin once raped her on a bed of broken glass, forced her to play Russian Roulette, and also murdered her dog. Now, a judge has ordered both Maher and Staub to attend a mediation hearing in the hopes that they can "facilitate a resolution of the case before it goes to trial." Maher -- the subject of the now infamous book "Cop Without a Badge" -- tells TMZ, "I will listen to the mediator ... but if the results are not fair and reasonable, I look forward to my day in court when I can call [Danielle] out on her lies." Maher continues, "I want to be vindicated for the horrific crimes she falsely accuses me of." The two sides are set to face off on Friday morning in Orange County, California. Stay tuned.

very interesting!! looking forward to seeing how this goes...

oh, you're right, this is not the girls father, this is her first ex, right?

Great post. I don't watch the NYC housewives, didn't think I'd like the Bethenny show (no drama, why bother), but I really enjoy it. I think I'd really enjoy a show about their family with no Danielle. They are a close knit family so it would probably be hilarious. They can leave Teresa out as well, she doesn't bother me, just predictable.

Queenadine - great post!!!

[no the ex husband killed her dog

Exactly, this is the first ex husband, not the guy with all the money who is the father of ehr two girls. She will be meeting him in court at a later date, lol
