Danielle Staub, the driving force behind much of the mayhem on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," is saying "Ciao" to the chaos after two seasons, Bravo announced Tuesday.
No tables were flipped on Monday's "Housewives" reunion (Part 2), but it was no Jersey City pizza party either. Early on, Teresa ("I'm classy") Giudice made a play for Staub's guttural after a sassy comment, shoving Bravo's Andy Cohen as he tried to block the tackle.
After harsh words from both directions, the reunion ended with Staub awkwardly hugging arch-nemeses Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita, the latter for a good minute or so. For steely-eyed Caroline Manzo, Staub offered just a handshake.
Cohen summarized the reunion: "We thought the hugs were a great way to end two seasons of bitterness between the women." Come again, Andy?
