Danielle Staub has officially left the cast of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Bravo confirmed late Monday.
"The reunion was Danielle's last appearance," says Andy Cohen in a blog post of Monday night's explosive part-two of the second season's reunion, in which Staub continued to spar with Teresa Giudice, Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita. (Staub and Laurita shared an awkward hug at the show's conclusion.)
"We thought the hugs were a great way to end two seasons of bitterness between the women." Cohen added.
Fifth housewife Dina Manzo (Caroline's sister) departed the show in the middle of the second season after constantly fighting with Staub. "I would say 99.9 percent is because of Danielle [Staub], but the other .1 percent was drama created by her," she said in June.
Danielle, 48, is a divorced single mom of two daughters. This year she released her memoirs The Naked Truth as well as her debut single, "Real Close."
Buh-Bye!!
