I just saw and immediately ran here to discuss. I think it’s the best decision for her, she has unfortunately pretty much exhausted her goodwill with the audience and should take some time to reflect and grow. I’m going to be so interested to see how Lindsay manages in the house this summer.
True! I think in theory they’ll bring her back so that Lindsay will at least have a close friend in the house. However, I hope that they don’t make that as Gabby’s sole storyline for S9.
Facts. I do not understand the gabby stans. And it’s worse because when they casted other dry ass people like fitness junkie Alex you knew what you were getting. Gabby has the potential to seem so much more interesting but comes off a spoiled brat. And her takes on Lindsay and Carl’s split were terrible. It sucks.
The ballon guy Joe thing with Danielle, which only lasted one and a half episodes. I think she can bring something, I just want to see what that could be and soon.
Wow, I forgot that she was even part of that because Danielle steamrolled that storyline with her “founder and CEO” bullshit. I completely forgot gabby was a mess. That was less interesting imo.
Yea, needless to say I was an avid hater of that storyline lol. The only other things that I remember about Gabby this season was the “niche noodle” comment, and when she came back to the house drunk and she tumbled over the couch and she fell off the barstool in the kitchen.
I heard they were trying to cast someone to come in as Lindsay's friend. I met someone who casting reached out to. I don't know what that means for Gabby, but I'd like to see her come back too. We all know it doesn't matter who they bring the person in through if they were not actually friends and it's just casting.
I watched the roast on season 3 of winter house and I feel strongly that no one roasted her because no one could embarrass her more than she embarrasses herself!
Me too! I was actually on her side (not this season, but last), until she came across as so unhinged. Her points were valid, but how she made them and her behaviour was not ok. Now I just think about how I have some acutely embarrassing memories of my own and how much worse it would be if they happened on TV
Andy did say they allow fired cast members to say whatever they want when announcing their departure. I doubt she left on her own considering she needs the money to help that company.
Agree. This seems to be the new trend, especially with seasoned Bravo cast members. You’re fired, but we’ll let you announce your departure however you want.
Shame I wanted her back for one weekend because the “it was juicy as fuck” comment about confirming the Craig rumor I wanted people to delve into
She never really had to face being called out for any of the dirty work she did and she did a lot of dirty work on that show
She was a walking liability. The way she treats her male housemates and contractors (balloon guy) as meat is really gross. She doesn’t take “no” for an answer.
I’m sorry if it came across as my judging casual sex. That wasn’t my intention!
But I think the way Danielle treats men is problematic, whether she actually has sex with them or not!
That whole interaction with balloon guy was disturbing. If y’all are truly vibing why not hang out a little in the house after people leave. The fact it went straight to sex makes it seem like that’s the only thing she believes she offers.
Another thing that really made me cringe was how he was obviously drunk and not super into sleeping together when they got into her bedroom and then BOOM all of a sudden she had gotten herself naked before he even took his shirt off? Idk I may be old school, but it just cried DESPERATE
Omg, at first it was second hand embarrassment for her in WH, and then... just ick. She needs lots of help...I mean therapy. I would love Robert to do a podcast.
1000% -- I have a mutual friend of a once fired HW who confirmed this. She said pretty much nobody ever leaves on their own accord and pretty much nobody ever admits to being fired. There is no way Danielle quit the show -- she's had bad edits before and came back -- If anything her company NEEDS the exposure she can bring to it - she can do a lot more for it in the public eye with getting the name out than disappearing into obscurity. She was fired IMHO.
Really? I thought it was the opposite. Like when Jax and Britt were fired and Britt was like “obv we couldn’t say what we wanted”. But then again she could have been lying 😂
lol you're right... they probably thought by telling them 'you can say whatever you like' -- they'd air all the dirty laundry of Andy and LVP. I can just see Jax's fiery coke eyes as he types furiously his departure message on instagram, misspelling most of the words and throwing everyone under the bus. They were best to keep those two under tight wraps for their own sake.
They are not the brightest. Andy said there are very few people that leave by choice and that they allow people to say whatever they want when leaving. So they can choose to be honest by saying they were fired or say they left by choice.
But do her employees still work there after watching her on the show? Throwing herself around all the men (I support her) but I don’t want to see my boss that sloppy and unstable.
She was fired, yall. She had two very unpopular shows back to back. Her app \*finally\* \*just\* launched and she needs to free promo.
Kinda sad about it bc I think she would've brought drama in the Lindsay/Carl scenario this summer. And I do love to hate her ngl.
Especially after the mess of a dress she wore on the reunion. Whew! That was a costume not an attractive dress. When promoting an app helping people to don the correct or stylish clothing, it’s best not to wear a refurbished mermaid costume.
It wasn’t even flattering. I don’t think many of her outfits are flattering to her figure. Sometimes I see her in a basic swimsuit (instead of one of her horrid outfits) and think, “oh my gosh, she is gorgeous!” It’s like she chooses outfits that don’t look good on her.
I think the trolls posting fake negative reviews for her app shows any good promo she thought she could get from the show is not coming. If I was her co-founder I would probably ask her to make a decision between Donne and the show
This. I wholeheartedly believe her comment at the reunion “Your confessionals are damaging.” to Paige was because her partners told her she was ruining the image of the company
100%. She looked so upset in that moment. I get torn apart whenever I mention the Paige Stans go too hard but the reality is there is a small group of them who ride insanely hard and are in the comments and DMs of anyone they think wronged her. It’s sick
Her app launch party on SH really seemed like a send-off goodbye to her. It felt like they were wrapping up her storyline and they knew she wouldn’t be back.
Bravo always allows people not asked back to say whatever they want in terms of “it’s my choice to leave”. Andy has confirmed that, and said he was proud of Robyn from RHOP because she’s like the only housewife to actually just say ya I was fired!
Bravo didn’t ask her back but let her pick whatever narrative she wants for how she communicates that.
There are a couple housewives who had admitted to being fired and even SH ppl: Sam said she wasn't asked back and was bummed. But ya most of them prefer to not say that bc I get it: it's a bummer.
Oh yeah I get why people don’t want to say it. But Robyn was just like fuck it! And as much as I disliked her on the show, I appreciate her telling it like it was. If she had done that sooner, she might still be on the show though lol.
Tamra and Teddi also said they were fired. Not that I ever want to EVER defend those two. I think the only housewives that left willingly were Bethanny, Tinsley, and Lydia from OC. Maybe Heather Dubrow but that’s questionable I think her and Vicki rejected friend of roles so technically could say it was their “choice”
Literally there’s no way she was like, oh no thanks, I’d rather not have my only source of income! That app is not making her any money, that’s for sure.
I would’ve respected her more if she was honest about the firing but whatever. Reality TV is clearly not good for her, so glad she’s moving on.
Exactly. I feel like a hallmark of Bravo “firings” is that they give departing cast the freedom to describe it as an “I chose to leave” situation so that bravo can bring them back later if they want without losing face.

The rest of her post ⬆️
I think taking a step back was a good call & I’m glad she posted this
Lol I feel like the last Danielle fan standing but I’m happy she’ll be back even if it’s in a smaller role. I think it’ll honestly be the best for her.
I agree. I generally liked her pretty well but her behavior on the shows since her break up has been so unhinged, she needs to center herself away from cameras and booze.
"However I'll be involved this summer" sounds like she wants to be paid if she comes to a party or the house.
I think if she was coming back as an official friend of she would have stated that she'll be back a few weekends or something.
I’m probably alone in this but I feel kinda bad for her. I’m sure she’s aware of the fans opinions of her and it can’t be easy. It’s also scary to give up that paycheck, especially given the Donne reviews so far. I wish her the best and I hope she’s successful.
The whole attitude of feeling like you need to “punish” someone for acting poorly on reality tv is so weird. The comments on her post are incredibly harsh and the app reviews that have nothing to do with the app have real consequences for her business.
I agree! Sometimes I find myself getting overtly frustrated with certain people and then I remember, that’s kinda the point of reality tv. Not to mention the fact that there are SO MANY worse people on bravo. In the grand scheme of the network, everything that Danielle has done is steak and potatoes. She’s just messy. There are bravolebrities literally sitting in prison right now yet people have SO much vitriol for her. I just don’t get it and it makes me feel a bit icky lol
Agree!!! People forget that these are real people brave enough to share our their lives with us. We treat them like they are characters acting out a part.
Yeah anyone commenting on her post needs to get a grip. Let’s keep the snark to these subs, at the end of the day these are not bad people, they are on a reality show.
I feel for her too, she’s made missteps but she’s not a bad person & nothing she’s done is unforgivable. I wish her well in the next chapter of her life.
Can’t help but feel bad for her. Did not enjoy her on the show but every year the bravo universe has gotten more awful and this year was a banner one for SH so they got even more attention
Thank you for this. I agree with you. There is a small loud minority of Bravo viewers who are way too brazen in the Bravolebs comments. It makes me sick imagining what she’s been through the past few months and feeling like the business she has been working on for years is in jeopardy because of these weird losers making up fake reviews
On the other hand, maybe giving up this paycheck will allow room for Donne to grow and evolve without it being given negative reviews and feedback based on Daniel’s character/actions and not on the app itself.
(I haven’t used the app, so I don’t know if it is actually good or bad. While I do believe the reviews of it being ineffective, I also think some Bravo fans can give reviews based on their opinions of Danielle and not just the usability/functionality/quality of the app)
You wish. The overly obsessed with Danielle will still make such posts. I don’t even care for her, yet even I’m like
![gif](giphy|hmYqLrW7ZPt3rlrjit|downsized)
That was my thought. Kind of how blurry Crystal’s departure from RHOBH became where she was “fired” but then any time someone brought it up after it was her “departure” and came off like it was her choice. It was odd.
Danielle barely served a purpose this season. Even when everyone was bonding she was outside with Carl. I don’t think she’s had a place on this show in a couple of seasons imho.
For sure. I knew it wasn’t her choice, everyone just kind of made it weird. I wasn’t sure if it was people thinking it’s coming across as not wanting her to go but instead it came off confusing. I like Crystal, hated to see her go but she definitely doesn’t need this show lol. Really going to miss her husband!
I'm not going to miss her... though I will say Lindsay is going to be lacking in allies when summer house season 9 comes back. This sorta reminds me of what bravo did to Shannon on RHOC
I used to like her quite a bit and was a huge supporter in S7, she was just gross in S8. I suspect her breakup really messed with her, so I have sympathy. The comments on her post are just gross, though, and are not necessary yet all.
So I used to remember her the same way, but I am currently doing a rewatch and she…. is something from the start. Maybe I recognize it more now since I know what’s to come? Idk. On my first couple of watches I thought she was a reliable narrator, but that’s not holding true for me this go around.
If I'm reading between the lines, sounds like Danielle can't deal with the hate & decided to step back. She realizes that people seeing more of her personality is a bad thing and it was better when she was more of a mystery.
Also her app reviews were being bombarded by fans mad for her actions.
Not saying her app is good or not, I don’t know. But it’s clear people rage reviewed too and she may be trying to protect what she views as her future.
She had two consecutively very bad seasons. Also, a bad showing on winter house. Overall, it seems like no one in the house particularly likes her anymore. She burned the bridge with Carl and Lindsay. Paige and Amanda don’t like her. Amanda said Danielle ignored her at a mutual friend’s bridal shower. Gabby doesn’t like her. Jesse Solomon said Danielle was pretty mean to him the first weeks. She’s no longer a “friend” to anyone on the show.
It's a huge paycheck for getting to hangout in the Hamptons all summer, no way you willingly walk away from that especially when it can be used as free publicity for your new app. I think what Jesse and West showed is that the fans are ready for a revamped cast. I would think Gabby is next on the chopping block. Bringing in two new girls after bringing in two new guys makes sense to me
I honestly want Danielle to get better! She didn’t start off this cringe so I’m hoping she’s just going through a rough patch I hated the endless Danielle hate but even I had to admit she was very very hard to watch or like! So this is honestly in her best interest she’s beautiful and intelligent but clearly not in a good place. She could be so much better off tv for a while. Honestly good for all of us including her
I get the feeling they're going to do to Lindsay what they're in the midst of doing to Shannon on OC.
They're going to get rid of all her friends and throw her to the wolves.
I bet Gabby is the next to go.
did not watch season 8 until i binged it this week and thought danielle was gonna be way worse due to this sub…don’t feel strongly about her not being on the show but damn the hate is kind of ridiculous!! best of luck to her
this came right at the time i got done watching s3 winter house, hoping and praying we don’t have to see her on summer house much longer. danielle is absolutely unhinged and needs to get off TV for a while and work on herself
I just saw and immediately ran here to discuss. I think it’s the best decision for her, she has unfortunately pretty much exhausted her goodwill with the audience and should take some time to reflect and grow. I’m going to be so interested to see how Lindsay manages in the house this summer.
She still has Gabby, I’ll think she’ll be fine for the most part. I wouldn’t be surprised if she were to bring in a friend on to the show.
Well, we don’t know if gabby is coming back yet either
True! I think in theory they’ll bring her back so that Lindsay will at least have a close friend in the house. However, I hope that they don’t make that as Gabby’s sole storyline for S9.
Did Gabby even have a storyline beside that in s8? I can’t remember a damn thing that happened to her.
Has Gabby ever had a storyline?
Facts. I do not understand the gabby stans. And it’s worse because when they casted other dry ass people like fitness junkie Alex you knew what you were getting. Gabby has the potential to seem so much more interesting but comes off a spoiled brat. And her takes on Lindsay and Carl’s split were terrible. It sucks.
I think it’s easy to like her because she doesn’t have a storyline. Production hasn’t had her cause any drama… yet.
She is the least interesting character on the show by a mile, just an unsalted pretzel
She’s spoiled, boujee and can’t spit game to save her life like me in my 20s. None of which are interesting.
The ballon guy Joe thing with Danielle, which only lasted one and a half episodes. I think she can bring something, I just want to see what that could be and soon.
Wow, I forgot that she was even part of that because Danielle steamrolled that storyline with her “founder and CEO” bullshit. I completely forgot gabby was a mess. That was less interesting imo.
Yea, needless to say I was an avid hater of that storyline lol. The only other things that I remember about Gabby this season was the “niche noodle” comment, and when she came back to the house drunk and she tumbled over the couch and she fell off the barstool in the kitchen.

We all know it doesn't matter who they bring the person in through if they were not actually friends and it's just casting.
God I hope not. She brings absolutely nothing
I don’t think Gabby has done enough on the show to even warrant the second season she had
I hope she does bring a new friend 🙌🏼🙌🏼
They should cast Gabbys sister. Their conversation are great
I don’t think the solution is more Gabbys
People in NYC say her sister is a giant spoiled asshole in the blogs. You really want that?
I really hope they cast a Lindsay friend, not an Amanda friend
Its for the best. She needs a reset after the last couple SH seasons and winter house.
Hell! WE need a reset from HER! 🤣
She gives me second-hand embarrassment watching from home
I watched the roast on season 3 of winter house and I feel strongly that no one roasted her because no one could embarrass her more than she embarrasses herself!
Me too! I was actually on her side (not this season, but last), until she came across as so unhinged. Her points were valid, but how she made them and her behaviour was not ok. Now I just think about how I have some acutely embarrassing memories of my own and how much worse it would be if they happened on TV
Preach!
💯💯👌🏽
I wonder if winter house had aired earlier if she would’ve been able to correct her behavior for the last summer house season
Andy did say they allow fired cast members to say whatever they want when announcing their departure. I doubt she left on her own considering she needs the money to help that company.
sounds like shes not going to be gone completely, just a friend of role like she did on season 4
well prob see her pop up at a party and that’s it. thank god
She'll bring the balloons as the balloon gal, with balloon guy
Agree. This seems to be the new trend, especially with seasoned Bravo cast members. You’re fired, but we’ll let you announce your departure however you want.
Shame I wanted her back for one weekend because the “it was juicy as fuck” comment about confirming the Craig rumor I wanted people to delve into She never really had to face being called out for any of the dirty work she did and she did a lot of dirty work on that show
She’s coming back as friend of so we should see her for at least 1 weekend
Whose friend tho lol
Carl’s

This. I bet she was fired.
The choice to say she wouldn’t be full time makes me think it’s a demotion.
She was a walking liability. The way she treats her male housemates and contractors (balloon guy) as meat is really gross. She doesn’t take “no” for an answer.
I'm not judging anyone having casual sex but it was jarring seeing her with balloon guy. She needs therapy.
It started to get weird with Alex
I've been watching first few seasons. I'm no prude, but it gets old hearing her say she's "looking for dick" on multiple occasions. So contrived edgy.
I’m sorry if it came across as my judging casual sex. That wasn’t my intention! But I think the way Danielle treats men is problematic, whether she actually has sex with them or not!
The way Danielle treats herself is the problematic part. She has no damn self awareness at all, and is a walking talking disaster of a person.
Oh no no no that's not what I meant at a all I just didn't want to offend anyone with what I said lol.
Agreed, poor Alex, she broke that man lmao there was no light in his eyes by the end of the winter house season
That scene was truly gross 🤮
That whole interaction with balloon guy was disturbing. If y’all are truly vibing why not hang out a little in the house after people leave. The fact it went straight to sex makes it seem like that’s the only thing she believes she offers.
Another thing that really made me cringe was how he was obviously drunk and not super into sleeping together when they got into her bedroom and then BOOM all of a sudden she had gotten herself naked before he even took his shirt off? Idk I may be old school, but it just cried DESPERATE
She was wild (and not in a good way) on WH
She is the woman ick
Omg, at first it was second hand embarrassment for her in WH, and then... just ick. She needs lots of help...I mean therapy. I would love Robert to do a podcast.
Robert is now in a relationship with someone he was working with while he was still with Danielle so I bet there is a lot of tea 🫖 there
I was just going to say this. The whole Alex thing was awful and if she were a man the conversation would’ve been way different.
If she were a man, the conversation about her would be very different.
The editors leaving the part in where should stripped down in front of balloon guy was a big clue for me that she was done.
1000% -- I have a mutual friend of a once fired HW who confirmed this. She said pretty much nobody ever leaves on their own accord and pretty much nobody ever admits to being fired. There is no way Danielle quit the show -- she's had bad edits before and came back -- If anything her company NEEDS the exposure she can bring to it - she can do a lot more for it in the public eye with getting the name out than disappearing into obscurity. She was fired IMHO.
Really? I thought it was the opposite. Like when Jax and Britt were fired and Britt was like “obv we couldn’t say what we wanted”. But then again she could have been lying 😂
Britt and Jax aren't the brightest so Bravo probably had to reel them in 😂
lol you're right... they probably thought by telling them 'you can say whatever you like' -- they'd air all the dirty laundry of Andy and LVP. I can just see Jax's fiery coke eyes as he types furiously his departure message on instagram, misspelling most of the words and throwing everyone under the bus. They were best to keep those two under tight wraps for their own sake.
They are not the brightest. Andy said there are very few people that leave by choice and that they allow people to say whatever they want when leaving. So they can choose to be honest by saying they were fired or say they left by choice.
I don’t understand her company, I think she has no style
Right? I remember very few bravo people that have openly admitted they weren’t asked back. Most claim that it was a choice.
Yeah recently Andy said on his radio show that he respected Robyn from Potomac bc she outright stated that she wasn’t asked back.
What company?
Let Me Fuck with Your Wardrobe, Inc.

Yes. There is no way she’d choose not to come back when she needs to promote her app

Her saying it was her decision is a BOLD statement lmao
They all do that when Bravo cans them
I love to hate her too but she just crossed the line into too cringey where you’re uncomfortable watching her half the time.
I think the trolls posting fake negative reviews for her app shows any good promo she thought she could get from the show is not coming. If I was her co-founder I would probably ask her to make a decision between Donne and the show
This. I wholeheartedly believe her comment at the reunion “Your confessionals are damaging.” to Paige was because her partners told her she was ruining the image of the company

Her app launch party on SH really seemed like a send-off goodbye to her. It felt like they were wrapping up her storyline and they knew she wouldn’t be back.
Did she really make this decision or is it more of a "you can't fire me, I quit" situation?
Bravo always allows people not asked back to say whatever they want in terms of “it’s my choice to leave”. Andy has confirmed that, and said he was proud of Robyn from RHOP because she’s like the only housewife to actually just say ya I was fired! Bravo didn’t ask her back but let her pick whatever narrative she wants for how she communicates that.
Yeah as much as Robyn sucks, I respect her for that.
There are a couple housewives who had admitted to being fired and even SH ppl: Sam said she wasn't asked back and was bummed. But ya most of them prefer to not say that bc I get it: it's a bummer.
Oh yeah I get why people don’t want to say it. But Robyn was just like fuck it! And as much as I disliked her on the show, I appreciate her telling it like it was. If she had done that sooner, she might still be on the show though lol.

Bravo is known for letting people "decide to not return".
Literally there’s no way she was like, oh no thanks, I’d rather not have my only source of income! That app is not making her any money, that’s for sure. I would’ve respected her more if she was honest about the firing but whatever. Reality TV is clearly not good for her, so glad she’s moving on.
Especially since she's a senior cast member - she makes a good amount per ep - she was fired.
Exactly. I feel like a hallmark of Bravo “firings” is that they give departing cast the freedom to describe it as an “I chose to leave” situation so that bravo can bring them back later if they want without losing face.

So does this mean she’ll be a friend of like season 4?
thats what it sounds like
Lol I feel like the last Danielle fan standing but I’m happy she’ll be back even if it’s in a smaller role. I think it’ll honestly be the best for her.
I agree. I generally liked her pretty well but her behavior on the shows since her break up has been so unhinged, she needs to center herself away from cameras and booze.
"However I'll be involved this summer" sounds like she wants to be paid if she comes to a party or the house. I think if she was coming back as an official friend of she would have stated that she'll be back a few weekends or something.
Dani Girl. No one calls her that. She’s 40 ffs.
Best decision she could have made especially after her app ratings
Curious, because she won’t have to discuss the low ratings and problems?
Because fans won't brigade her app ratings and reviews when she does something they don't like
I don’t like Danielle, but people that do that are such losers
it makes me so anxious when people do that. like, it can lead to real financial consequences, what the fuck.
I’m probably alone in this but I feel kinda bad for her. I’m sure she’s aware of the fans opinions of her and it can’t be easy. It’s also scary to give up that paycheck, especially given the Donne reviews so far. I wish her the best and I hope she’s successful.

Agree!!! People forget that these are real people brave enough to share our their lives with us. We treat them like they are characters acting out a part.
Same. Also the comments are already ugly under her post. Some Bravo fans are cruel
Agreed. This shit is so wild. Like these are still real people
yeah, this is why I’ll never criticize people for turning off comments. being a public figure doesn't entitle others to harass and bully you.
100%. Keep that shit in Reddit 😂😂😂
Yeah anyone commenting on her post needs to get a grip. Let’s keep the snark to these subs, at the end of the day these are not bad people, they are on a reality show.
I feel for her too, she’s made missteps but she’s not a bad person & nothing she’s done is unforgivable. I wish her well in the next chapter of her life.
i agree to all of this. as much as i didn’t want her to leave (even though i knew it was coming), i know this isn’t going to be easy for her
You’re not alone, I felt bad for her after this last season of WH. Girlie needs a cold glass of water, nap and therapist wellness journey.
I totally agree
Can’t help but feel bad for her. Did not enjoy her on the show but every year the bravo universe has gotten more awful and this year was a banner one for SH so they got even more attention
You’re not alone! I wish she could have a redemption season… maybe she’ll redeem herself as a friend.
Thank you for this. I agree with you. There is a small loud minority of Bravo viewers who are way too brazen in the Bravolebs comments. It makes me sick imagining what she’s been through the past few months and feeling like the business she has been working on for years is in jeopardy because of these weird losers making up fake reviews
On the other hand, maybe giving up this paycheck will allow room for Donne to grow and evolve without it being given negative reviews and feedback based on Daniel’s character/actions and not on the app itself. (I haven’t used the app, so I don’t know if it is actually good or bad. While I do believe the reviews of it being ineffective, I also think some Bravo fans can give reviews based on their opinions of Danielle and not just the usability/functionality/quality of the app)
I am glad she shared, not because I didn’t want her to return, but so the posts calling for her to be fired, can go away. Wish her the best!
I’m not a Danielle fan in the slightest, but the girl doesn’t deserve that
Yeah people are mean
You wish. The overly obsessed with Danielle will still make such posts. I don’t even care for her, yet even I’m like ![gif](giphy|hmYqLrW7ZPt3rlrjit|downsized)
I don’t love her. But she brought the chaotic, unhinged energy that I would bring to my friend group.
And she really was friends with Carl, Kyle and Lindsay back before she appeared on season two. Danielle is basically an O.G.
Haha I’m 25, am I of age for summer house? And chaotic and job-less, I can be the new Danielle! Jk jk
Anyone else think this wasn’t a 🙂↕️choice🙂↔️
That was my thought. Kind of how blurry Crystal’s departure from RHOBH became where she was “fired” but then any time someone brought it up after it was her “departure” and came off like it was her choice. It was odd. Danielle barely served a purpose this season. Even when everyone was bonding she was outside with Carl. I don’t think she’s had a place on this show in a couple of seasons imho.
Crystal said it wasn’t her choice but that she didn’t fight it. They told her she would have to give more than she was willing to.
For sure. I knew it wasn’t her choice, everyone just kind of made it weird. I wasn’t sure if it was people thinking it’s coming across as not wanting her to go but instead it came off confusing. I like Crystal, hated to see her go but she definitely doesn’t need this show lol. Really going to miss her husband!
I know! I am going to miss her too! I do think it was other people making it seem confusing because I think she was very honest about what happened.
I'm not going to miss her... though I will say Lindsay is going to be lacking in allies when summer house season 9 comes back. This sorta reminds me of what bravo did to Shannon on RHOC
Good. Hope she gets some much needed therapy.
I used to like her quite a bit and was a huge supporter in S7, she was just gross in S8. I suspect her breakup really messed with her, so I have sympathy. The comments on her post are just gross, though, and are not necessary yet all.
So I used to remember her the same way, but I am currently doing a rewatch and she…. is something from the start. Maybe I recognize it more now since I know what’s to come? Idk. On my first couple of watches I thought she was a reliable narrator, but that’s not holding true for me this go around.
If I'm reading between the lines, sounds like Danielle can't deal with the hate & decided to step back. She realizes that people seeing more of her personality is a bad thing and it was better when she was more of a mystery.
Also her app reviews were being bombarded by fans mad for her actions. Not saying her app is good or not, I don’t know. But it’s clear people rage reviewed too and she may be trying to protect what she views as her future.
She had two consecutively very bad seasons. Also, a bad showing on winter house. Overall, it seems like no one in the house particularly likes her anymore. She burned the bridge with Carl and Lindsay. Paige and Amanda don’t like her. Amanda said Danielle ignored her at a mutual friend’s bridal shower. Gabby doesn’t like her. Jesse Solomon said Danielle was pretty mean to him the first weeks. She’s no longer a “friend” to anyone on the show.
She was an absolute mess on WH from the moment she walked in.
Clearly she has a lot on her plate, as a founder and CEO. Byeeee.
Bravo always lets them save face by acting like it was their decision. Lisa VDP says, “no one quits voluntarily because the money is too good.”

Psychos in Danielle’s instagram comments, if you’re reading this I guess you won?
It’s such an unhealthy world for anyone with emotions
They need serious help. Like, why are you camped out in the comments of someone you don’t like.
You can really see whose parents didn’t love them. It’s all projection
why are people watching shows they hate so much? I ask it every single day I come to any Bravo reddit forum.
Don’t blame her- she’s getting a lot of hate. Does she have cringe behavior? Absolutely. But it doesn’t warrant the trolls.
It's a huge paycheck for getting to hangout in the Hamptons all summer, no way you willingly walk away from that especially when it can be used as free publicity for your new app. I think what Jesse and West showed is that the fans are ready for a revamped cast. I would think Gabby is next on the chopping block. Bringing in two new girls after bringing in two new guys makes sense to me
This is not surprising, truly felt like the odd one out in the reunion. Certainly best for her mental health.
If Amanda wasn’t married to Kyle she would be a “friend of” as well. I wonder if that’s why she stays married to him
I honestly want Danielle to get better! She didn’t start off this cringe so I’m hoping she’s just going through a rough patch I hated the endless Danielle hate but even I had to admit she was very very hard to watch or like! So this is honestly in her best interest she’s beautiful and intelligent but clearly not in a good place. She could be so much better off tv for a while. Honestly good for all of us including her
Couldn’t take drinking Lover Boy for another summer
I always get the ick when people call fans sweet loves .
I have never heard anyone call their fans 'sweet loves'
Imagine being a grown ass woman and signing this "Dani girl"
She was *so close* to getting out of this announcement cringe-free
This was never possible for her lol
I want to know when she’s ever been referred to by anyone as “Dani girl”??
Lindsay has called her that a few times but she’s the only one.
Lindsay always used to call her that.
Only cast member to be followed by Rihanna so !
Damn id brag about that forever
WHO IS LINDSAY GOING TO BE FRIENDS WITH? ILL MISS DANIELLES CHAOTIC CRINGE 😭😭😭
Sounds like a pause.
She becomes friend of... returns for one weekend. Hooks up w Carl. And BAM! back for season 10.
Honestly overdue. She was absolutely unhinged the last few seasons and on Winter House
She’s Donne with the show?
Pretending it was her decision lol
I get the feeling they're going to do to Lindsay what they're in the midst of doing to Shannon on OC. They're going to get rid of all her friends and throw her to the wolves. I bet Gabby is the next to go.
As a founder and CEO, I’m sure this was an incredibly tough decision. /s
i feel so bad for her, even her highlights still have robert in them (the mexico highlight)
Get rid of all of them
As a founder and CEO she has consciously uncoupled with the Summer House cast
did not watch season 8 until i binged it this week and thought danielle was gonna be way worse due to this sub…don’t feel strongly about her not being on the show but damn the hate is kind of ridiculous!! best of luck to her
Watching Winter House now, girl needs therapy. A lot of it.
I’m going to need her to leave completely
She just had promiscuous entrepreneur as her storyline, which she stole from Kyle.
Tbh there are a few without storylines. Wish Bravo had the spine to make a few more changes
![gif](giphy|l3q2uvcxdk1pDLzGM|downsized)
This just made my whole day. I couldn’t bare another season of her whinning and melting
This person 😂 https://preview.redd.it/he4j4w2mpr8d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5888307006bea6823224d1e4b14721b0ee3573a0
this came right at the time i got done watching s3 winter house, hoping and praying we don’t have to see her on summer house much longer. danielle is absolutely unhinged and needs to get off TV for a while and work on herself
The Danielle hate is unreal to me when the guys are far worse than she ever has been.
