Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion: Danielle Staub leaving Real Housewives of New Jersey?

UPDATE: Bravo has confirmed that Danielle Staub is leaving "The Real Housewives of New Jersey."

Viewers had one question when the second half of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reunion ended Monday night.

Who's leaving the show?

Commercials on Bravo suggested a cast member would leave forever, but none of the four women directly announced a departure on Monday's show. Prior to the reunion, multiple sources pointed to rumors that Danielle Staub was set to leave.

Even without an obvious departure, the show had its share of bizarre moments.

The highlight? Housewife Jacqueline Laurita's sudden epiphany that it was time to stop fighting with Danielle. After a season of screaming matches, Danielle hugged Jacqueline and Teresa Giudice toward the end of Monday's reunion.

She told Jacqueline, "I'm moving on and I'm happy."

Not everyone wanted to hug it out, however. Housewife Caroline Manzo rolled her eyes while sitting in the background.

Her parting words? "This was phony."

Here's a full recap of Monday's show, which also featured Kim G.

***

Woo hoo! The second half of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reunion is here. Hmm...where did we leave off? Oh yeah, Teresa went crazy when Danielle mentioned her nephew. Get a full recap of part one here.

The show kicks off with more discussion of the Brownstone fiasco, when Danielle's pal Danny called Caroline's son a gay slur. Host Andy Cohen tells Danielle she lost her title as a gay advocate. Danielle blames it on editing, prompting some sarcasm from Caroline. "She's perfect, I'm sorry," Caroline says.

Either way, Andy says he was offended by Danny's remarks.

Meanwhile, Danielle vows none of the other Housewives really know her. Then again, maybe Danielle knows the other Housewives a little too well.

Caroline says a neighbor told her Danielle was stalking her house. The comment inevitably ignites a screaming match.

Jacqueline channels a little bit of Teresa's craziness. She tells Danielle, "You're still a call girl and you're still getting with married men."

Danielle storms off the set. "I'm done," she tells us, hurling an obscenity at Teresa. It prompts Teresa and Jacqueline to stand up and try to fight her.

Backstage, Danielle clarifies some things. "I definitely don't sleep with men," she says.

After a commercial break, Andy tells Teresa and Jacqueline to stay on the couch. Danielle returns to the set. Note: We're only 15 minutes into the show.

Time to discuss Dina's departure. Danielle says Dina owes her an apology for things that weren't shown on camera. She doesn't feel responsible for Dina leaving the show.

Let's talk about Jacqueline's daughter, Ashley...you know, the one who pulled Danielle's hair. Jacqueline vows she's not a bad parent. Danielle rolls her eyes. She says she didn't reply to any digital/text messages from Jacqueline's daughter, but Jacqueline says that's not the case.

Andy discusses a tweet that Danielle received. Apparently some guy said something about wanting Jacqueline's daughter Ashley to commit suicide for his birthday. And apparently Danielle replied, "I hope your birthday wishes come true."

Danielle's reaction? "I have no idea why I would say anything like that."

But Jacqueline has proof. She passes around her phone and shares evidence of the Twitter exchange. "This is disturbing to me," Danielle says, adding that she regularly corresponds with the guy who sent the tweet in question.

Danielle says she wasn't responding to his suicide tweet but another tweet. She says she'll block the guy who sent the tweet.

She feels bad about the twitter exchange. "I'm sorry, I would never do such a thing. Ever," Danielle says. The other Housewives aren't convinced.

Next topic? The episode when Danielle and Teresa fought, and Jacqueline's daughter ripped hair from Danielle's head.

Conveniently, Danielle brought a fake head with hair extensions to demonstrate how hard it is to rip hair extensions from somebody's hair. Caroline laughs in the background. Danielle asks Andy to try to rip the extensions out, and initially he can't do it. The moral? Everybody took the hair-pulling situation too lightly, according to Danielle. She does regret calling Ashley some slurs, however.

Naturally, the discussion ignites another fight, as Danielle says she'll never run away from all the bullies in her life again. A gem in Teresa's response? "Pay me $100,000. I will get in a ring with her," she says.

You know what this reunion needs? Some Kim G.

Fortunately, she arrives on set about 40 minutes into the show. Danielle says Kim G. used her. Kim tells her to shut her mouth. Screaming ensues. "This is nonsense," Caroline says, reminding us that she was never friends with Kim G.

She does have some questions for Kim, though. Caroline asks if Kim started the rumor that Jacqueline's daughter was on cocaine. Kim swears she didn't.

After some more discussion of the Brownstone event, Andy asks if Caroline will have lunch with Kim -- you know, since Kim and Danielle aren't friends anymore.

Caroline's cryptic response? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Meanwhile, Kim G. reminds us she's Kim D.'s sister-in-law. Thanks for the clarification.

Seems like we need another fight. This time, it's between Teresa and Kim G. Teresa criticizes Kim's stripper pole physique, while Andy reminds us of a tweet by Kim G. concerning Teresa's finances -- or lack thereof.

Sadly, Caroline offers the most wisdom of the bunch: "This is stupid."

Does Danielle have any parting words for Kim? Yes. "Be careful what you wish for, Kim Who." Kim leaves the set after about 10 minutes of air time.

With about 15 minutes left, Caroline asks Danielle how she ever threatened her. Danielle says Caroline's family hurt her. Then, the discussion turns back to Danielle's decision to press charges against Jacqueline's daughter, Ashley.

"We used to be friends. I felt very jaded by you...I hated the person that I was becoming," Jacqueline says.

"I'm sorry for my part in that, Jacqueline," Danielle says.

What? An apology? Is this reunion going to get all warm and fuzzy? Well, maybe not entirely. Teresa and Caroline roll their eyes.

But Jacqueline continues her emotional epiphany: "I really don't want to do this anymore...it's just gotten way out of control," Jacqueline says.

Danielle responds, "I'm sorry for everything to do with Ashley...all i wanted was an 'I'm sorry.'"

What does Caroline think? "I don't care."

In the show's closing moments, Andy asks Danielle if she has any final words for the other Housewives. She addresses Jacqueline and says, "You and I know what we were to each other."

Will Danielle drop any litigation that's related to the other Housewives? "I will contact my attorneys and make sure that there's peace for everyone," she says.

Teresa says she's not trying to take Danielle down. Danielle gets off the couch and hugs Teresa, then hugs Jacqueline...for a really long time. She whispers in Jacqueline's ear, noting the drama with Ashley is over. "I'm moving on and I'm happy," she says, and proceeds to stare longingly into Jacqueline's eyes. Awkward.

Danielle shakes hands with Caroline, who's hardly impressed by the heartfelt displays of emotion.

"This was phony," she says.

And on that note -- and after a brief fight between Caroline and Danielle -- another season of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" ends.
