Tom Staub, Danielle Staub’s ex, showed quite a bit of class with Tom and his new wife appearing on a Real Housewives of New Jersey episode at his daughter’s Sweet Sixteen party. A party which was a charity event. I missed the the first half of the episode which must have included the “details” about the charity event because, later, at the Sweet Sixteen party there didn’t seem to be any mention of the charity other than Danielle stating the very expensive party was a charity event with everything provided by donors. At the party, no signs of the charity or members of the charity thanking Danielle. NJ.com posted:
Christine’s sweet 16. Christine is not into the party, but then, she says, “I came up with the idea of donating the money I earned at the sweet 16 to a charity” Pray tell, how does one earn money at their own party? Getting, yes. Earning? Maybe her mother can answer that question. Kidding. Nice gesture.
Well, I got my answer to when the charity was mentioned but no answers on how Christine “earned” the money.
The site Celebgalz has the details on Tom Staub, 54, married to his third wife Rebecca, who is pregnant. From another source, I learned Tom was married before Danielle. A marriage which ended when Tom met Danielle.
According to Celebgalz, Tom Staub’s business filed for bankruptcy in May 2010. Tom Staub met Danielle when she worked as a stripper. For more details on the Tom Staub-Danielle Staub marriage and divorce see Danielle Staub ex-husband Tom Staub: Danielle & Tom Staub updates (photos).
According to Celebgalz, Danielle and Tom’s marriage lasted 12 years. In 2009, Starcasm reported Tom Staub is paying child support–Danielle has claimed on RHONJ Tom has been “behind” on the payments–and that Staub pays the girls school tuition directly to the school after Danielle allegedly took the money and didn’t pay the tuition. Tom Staub’s alimony payments to Danielle are due to end in two years. Tom sees the girls “regularly” with Tom seeking custody of one of the girls. RHONJ holding up production after Tom purportedly refused to sign the release papers allowing the girls to be on the show.
This season Danielle has claimed Tom Staub is a deadbeat dad, that it was Tom’s fault Danielle had to sell her Wayne, New Jersey, home. Based on the fact Danielle Staub is sue-happy it would seem Danielle would have taken Tom to court and had Tom arrested for failure to pay child support. In tonight’s episode, Danielle showed her engagement ring to the girls, asking them if it was “okay” she wore the ring because the ring “no longer meant anything” to Danielle. A rather sad and bizarre scene as it’s obvious her daughters love their dad. Later, Danielle revealed her true motive, telling the Bravo camera crew, Tom’s wife didn’t have a ring as “big” as the one Tom gave her. The ring scene with the girls was a scene designed more for the viewers than her two daughters. A scene much like every other Danielle Staub scene, of Danielle turning every single scene into “it’s all about Danielle”, an obviously very unhappy woman. With Danielle, you can tell she’s never ever truly able to “relax”. Every scene, Danielle plotting, comparing, or contrasting herself with the other Real Housewives and their children. Christine, a lovely girl, is constantly compared to Teresa Giudice’s daughter, a 9-yr-old girl. Danielle’s younger daughter, Jillian, another sweet girl, being groomed by Danielle as the next tween singing sensation. Danielle, the stereotypical stage mother, living vicariously through her children while taking credit for their accomplishments. Which leads to Tom Staub who, in tonight’s episode, gritted his teeth and attended Christine’s Sweet Sixteen party. It was obvious Tom Staub loves his daughters and was proud of them. It obvious they loved their dad. Also obvious, the girl’s may have inherited their common sense from their dad, a grounding influence in their life. Based on Danielle’s antics in seasons one and now, in season two, those two girls live in an environment filled with Danielle Staub drama. A totally self-centered woman whose obsession with the Manzo’s, hiring bodyguards and bringing ex-felon Danny Provenzano into Danielle’s home and her daughter’s lives. The Danielle Staub: Raw sex tape video filmed in Danielle’s home back in October.
Danielle claims she’s a great mom, showing off her daughters as proof. In my opinion, great moms don’t disparage their children’s father in front of the children, or on a nationally televised reality tv show. Great moms leave their children out of their “drama” and don’t make their children into surrogate parents. And, great moms don’t use their children to prop up their own low-self esteem.
