NJ Housewife -- Reality Show Good, Sex Tape Bad

Posted Jun 24th 2009 10:30AM by TMZ Staff

Danielle Staub"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Danielle Staub has no problem putting the most intimate moments of her life on display for the world to see -- except for when she's getting intimate.

Staub is trying to block the release of a sex tape her former boyfriend is trying to sell. Her lawyer filed a complaint today in Passaic County Superior Court alleging Stephen Zalewski, who also appeared on the reality show, invaded her privacy and has caused her and her young daughters emotional distress.

Also causing Staub's young children emotional distress -- seeing their mother on "Real Housewives of New Jersey."

Zalewski told Star magazine, "I'm definitely weighing my options as far as selling [the tapes] and getting them out there ... She cost me so much money, why shouldn't I make a few dollars?"

UPDATE -- Staub won round one. A judge granted a temporary injunction against the tape. The order could become permanent at a hearing next month.

16. I offer sympathy to her children. Suggestion to her: get a job...remove yourself from the show...cease looking for a "rich" man to keep you and your girls. Keep what little money to have in your pockets. Enough already with the botox, artificial
this and that. Respect yourself and your children. Do right by them, by keeping all your "MENZ " away from them or oneday
you may regret it!

18. hm. here's a thought, if you don't want to be seen as a slut then don't act like one... and while we're at it... go see a shrink for those terrible head problems you have

20. Danielle is a gross, disgusting, poor excuse for a human being!! Her kids should be taken away from her and she should just disappear from the face of the earth! She is a bold faced liar and I can not stomach looking at her for one more minute. Bravo - remove that bitch from the show and the rest of the ladies will all be just fine!!

22. I can't stand this woman! On last nght's episode, they kept showing her and she was so nasty! Just sitting there trying to display her on self pitty party she attends daily! I think she is jealous because thru all this they all remain a close family. She is very innappropiate with her girls, and always talking about the fact that she is about to not be able to support her family. Here's a idea...get a J O B!!! I hope they so do another season of NJ, but desperatley hope she isn't on it!!!

24. When she produced the book I was not surprised. It is obviously all about her with the cameras are rolling. I don't believe that women should gossip behind someone's back and act normal in front of them either but that is what women usually do, and men. I am sure they have some classy women in New Jersey but these aren't in that category. A bit like "Goodfellas" wives. Too much makeup and talking about nothing. If you really want your children protected then don't be on a reality show where viewers can judge you if they want.

25. The only problem is WHO WOULD WANT TO SEE THAT NASTY AZZ PIECE OF CRAP WHORE-BAG, HORSE FACED, FUGLY, B*TCH NAKED HAVING SEX?????????

26. I have seen this show a few times. I am shocked at the fact that no one is disgusted by the fact that this man slept with her if she is really that bad. What kind of man sleeps with women and then sells a tape to make money. I am not saying she is nice, I just don't think he should be able to look like the good guy. If you have sex with a "slut" then what kind of person are you? If you spent that much money on a woman maybe you should look for a "real" relationship instead. You get what you pay for.

27. Ugh... who would want to see that naked?

28. she made a sex tape, and now she worries about it being put out there.............no punt intented, this just tells me that the other ladies are correct on assuming that there was more than "being arrested" and name change" werent the only two things that were true in that book........"paleeza, danielle, i think you need to pay attention"!

29. Why does this women still have her kids, they are doomed with her. She parades men in front of them, and laughs it off when her daughter says the men only want her for her "goodies." It's so incredibly sad. Karma's a bitch.
