Danielle Staub‘s bankruptcy is officially over! After she bought a new Mercedes of course.
Unfortunately instead of paying back her creditors, the court allowed the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star to excuse $200,000 in debts. And lucky Danielle screwed her former sex tape again in the process!
Stephen Zalewski, who starred in Danielle’s tape (along with a bagel), sued her for $100,000 for defamation after she accused him of leaking the tape on purpose – and Stephen won! Well the courts allowed Danielle to discharge that debt. Which means Stephen lost twice: once when he schtupped Danielle and again when he didn’t get his money from her!

Other debts Danielle was excused from was a $7k+ shopping bill to Nordstrom! According to TMZ Danielle also gets to walk away from a $3k obligation to Ford Motors, $7k to American Express, and $30k to various lawyers. Which means next time one of Danielle’s scorned ex-lovers (“Engaged 19 times! Prostitution Whore!”) she probably won’t have anyone leaping to her defense.
Danielle is also selling her New Jersey mansion at a loss. The house is listed for sale as a short sale.
Well now that Danielle is good clean and officially broke, maybe Bravo should hire her back because ratings for the newly revamped season of RHONJ are not doing so well! The season premiere was the lowest rated in seasons and less viewers tuned in this week; making RHONJ neck-in-neck with the finale of Real Housewives of New York and getting beaten by Real Housewives of Orange County. RHONJ used to be a powerhouse ratings boom for Bravo, but have fans lost interest after season upon season of redundant drama?
Now, I think it’s only temporary – the season has started off slow as they try in vain to make Teresa Giudice look good, but we know the new girls are going to try some serious trouble and get into it with Melissa Gorga. I believe things will turn around and then viewers will be back in droves.
Hopefully things are more exciting tonight! Teresa invites friends and family to a tasting for Fabulicious products, but then becomes upset when her legal issues become the topic of conversation and Amber Marchese‘s husband Jim turns nasty. But Teresa’s life isn’t the only one on the hot seat – Nicole Napolitano becomes the subject of a nasty rumor.
