NJ Housewife -- Reality Show Good, Sex Tape Bad

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.

46. Harvey, please dig further, and find more out-I believe she did more than just "change her name and get arrested"
Her children are suffering in their current status with all of her drama; child services should take a look at this one-or at the least the ex- husband!
She ruined every get together and tried to further herself-I believe this is the tip of the (Iceberg)!

48. A sign of the times when people on a reality show are on the front pages of magazines, newspapers, and the talk of the town. You wonder where our role models have gone? I am not speaking of this show only but the genre' in particular.

As far as wanting the body of Danielle-she looks very good-but most of us would prefer something a little less used and abused. Wondering if New Jersey women are all that strident. Not a flattering portrait. New York and California housewives were not portrayed in a flattering light either.

52. I think Dina likes reality TV a little too much....Anyone want to get a "good" impression of her husband??/ Take at look at Dina's and Tommy's million dollar wedding...Are kidding me?? Once a cheat always a cheat Dina!!!!!! Hope all you people who think being on reality TV is your claim to fame, think again. It just opens up your lives to be criticized. You guys all asked for it

53. I knew that guy was no good, I feel so sorry for Danielle she keeps trusting people and getting hurt. He looks like a moron, and now he just proves my point. And I guess Teresa didn't have a problem with her friend messing around with a bunch of women, but she has a problem with Danielle doing it a million years ago.
He is a moron pure and simple!
I would call him something else but I know people will probably read this so I will be kind and just call him a moron

56. OMG Ah heres an idea... Don't have sex in front of a camera. You should be ashamed of yourself Danielle with your two girls having to see this (and they will).

57. Of all the Housewives - the new jerseyans are the WORSE and I'm a Jersey girl but what a shame to the entire state!!!! it was embarrasing and irritating watching these women specially the godmother Caroline what a witch, mean, manipulative, mafia connected, liar, with a retarded daughter, there she has it!!! ----- involved and plotting against the other low life Dannielle and enjoying every single moment of it -- hope they cancel the Jersey ones or audition another group of real housewives - New Jersey is a beautiful state full of real housewife ladies

58. Unfortunately for her she was stupid enough to think her skeletons would stay in her closet, however, its one thing if she changed but she was dating a guy 23 years younger than her and was offering him a BJ in a public bathroom! This poor women has HUGE emotional issues.

60. I think most of you are being too hard on Danielle. Yes, she was a mess in her younger days, but she has changed. She seems to be a great mother who loves her kids. She has sweet kids who adore their mom. Many people have pasts they would prefer to forget, but it's the past. Don't judge someone on what they did 25 yrs. ago. Teresa is a skank. She has no class and thinks she's better than everyone else. Dina probably wouldn't be too bad, but she's influenced by the Godmother of the group, Caroline. I can not stand her. You mess with my family, then you mess with me. Give me a break. Jacqueline is the sweetest and most normal of the group. She and her husband should move to another state in order to keep their sanity.
