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.

Oh, Danielle, you don't belong with these other women. You are a liar, and I feel so sorry for your children, you tell them too much, they are so sweet and innocent, oh how I feel sorry for them. Where is their father, maybe he can take them, if he is a decent man.
-- Jo of California
The thing about it is nobody has proof that she's a pathological liar. It's all hearsay and really, whatever happened was in 1986!!Get over it already..

Who is the father of her two girls? Was this ever disclosed? How does she seem to have so much money- what's up with her ex or the girls DAD?
-- Barbara
I think she dosen't know how to do anything but lie. She has said that only 2 things in the book are true but court docs don't lie. She needs to pull her head out of her ass and realize that all she is doing is hurting her kids.
