Real Housewives of NJ's Danielle Staub Tells Parade.com in an interview that: 'I Will Not Be Forgotten'
    
The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub has a sordid sex tape under her belt, and has earned the wrath of her castmates on the Bravo series.

Her ex husband is in court laying out scandalous details of their relationship, as reported by radaronline.com "Throughout our entire relationship from the very first day I met Danielle Staub till the end, there was cocaine involved just about every day of our lives," Kevin testified. The two met in 1986 at what Kevin calls a "cocaine party."

Everyone’s favorite “love to hate” Housewife talked to Parade.com about her dramatic exit from the show, how she knew she was leaving and why fans will be seeing much more of her in the near future.

On "Hugging it out" at the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion:

"It took a positive turn because I needed it to. I wasn't really interested in anything but leaving peacefully. I knew I was leaving, I wanted to leave, but even right down to the final moments, Teresa started to yell again and that's why I stood up and went over to hug her. It was really not planned. It had to end."

On her advice to the next crop of Real Housewives:

"Keep it real, stay true to yourself and don't let anyone put you down. They all know who they are going into this. They all know what they've done and where they've been. Own up to it and definitely stay true to you."

On the talks of her own show, where is she headed next?

"I have not excluded Bravo, but I'm not going to say where it is that I'm landing. There are several offers on the table and I'm exploring all of them. I'm moving on in the right and positive direction and I will be taking my entire fan base with me."

On a message to her fans:

"Although I am leaving the show, I will not be forgotten. I know that all of you have stood by me and believed in me and I have a lot more to come. I am not done by any means. Just keep your ears and eyes open and you will be seeing very soon where I'm going to call home in a network. I have the absolute best fans in the world. They really get the essence of me. I appreciate each and every one of them."
