Danielle Staub's Shocking Past! See Her Mug Shot!
Star recently reported that Real Housewives of New Jersey cougar Danielle Staub, 46, had been arrested in New Jersey on April 2 after failing to pay her divorce attorney a five-figure sum. Apparently, that wasn’t her first arrest!
During a promo for the upcoming June 2 episode of the Bravo series, it was hinted that the 1996 out-of-print non-fiction book, Cop Without A Badge, held a number of shocking secrets about Danielle’s past. Star has read a copy of the book — and it delivers!
The book recounts the exploits of New York City criminal-turned-police informer Kevin Maher, who says he began seeing a woman named Beverly Merrill after meeting her at a 1986 cocaine party in Miami. At the time, claims Maher, she was out on bail following her arrest for extortion, kidnapping and drug possession, after she was caught with a drug dealer who had recently kidnapped and beaten a wealthy young man who owed him money, then called his father and demanded a ransom.The book includes a 1986 mug shot of Beverly Merrill — and she and Danielle Staub are dead ringers for each other!
Beverly Merrill eventually pled guilty to extortion and was sentenced to five years of probation, then moved to New York City with Kevin, and began making “$3,000 a week” stripping at sleazy nightclubs, he says. They later moved to New Jersey and wed in 1988 — despite the fact that he was still married to another woman in New York! They divorced the next year, and Kevin says he last saw her in 1992 — still dancing at a strip club.

It's funny how all of you judging and condeming her are also the same ones who have continued to watch the show. What does that say about YOU!! Hahahaha too funny!
Everyone screws up in life, they shouldn't be crucified forever for the mistakes they made in the past. All of you should take a look at your own lives, I'm sure there are things you've done that you are ashamed of or regretful for. I guess people like to talk shit about others to make themselves feel better about their insecurities, short-comings and to make their measly lives seem better somehow! You pathetic fools!!! ;) -- Easily Amused w/Your Stupidities
For Pete's sake! The woman had bad judgement in bad company back in 1986. Who can blame her for trying to start over in a new place, with a new name??! Danielle, don't let all the <alleged> mobster women cut down the <alleged> liar! It's all just hearsay and should be left under the bridge...like all of our 80's misdoings. **blush**

I thought the housewives were very hard on Danielle. Whatever was done in the past, was done in the past. Get over it. She's cool and I thought most of the women were so disgusting to her and about her, it made me not want to watch the show.

I read the book and it did tell the truth about Danielle and or Beverly. She she not a cougar she is a nasty famewhore who takes from anyone she can perform sex acts with. She needs to go back and have more plasic sergery because what has already been done looks like crap. What's with thoses eye brows anyway?! Bev dear you best just stay in jail and stop causing so much trouble around town. Teresa and Caroline and the rest of the Real Housewives of New Jeresy are real women. Beverly is just a wahtabe and will always be just that. You can take a gal out of the trailer park but you can't take the trailer park out the gal. Your children need to be removed from your custody while your in jail and serving your time. You are a unfit parent and just down right an ugly person inside and out.
