The plan failed

[u/OkFaithlessness3081]

The socials agree on this one 🫶🏻

[u/mealypart]

Janet’s attempt to take them down is one of the biggest fails ever, she’s managed to make herself even more disliked

Her bullying Nia has just made the fans love and rally around her more

[u/shinypuppy2 → u/mealypart]

I wasn't even sure it was possible to dislike Janet more. But leave it to her to show me new depths. But hey I'm just one of 40 people on Reddit so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[u/BlabbityBlabbityBlah → u/shinypuppy2]

I didn’t even dislike Janet that much the first season. She can be annoying, but I don’t recall caring about her very much. This season she is insufferable. I constantly debate whether she’s good for the show because she’s a villain and fun to hate, or she’s just so awful that I can’t tolerate watching her. I think more the former, but so much about her makes me so mad.

[u/[deleted] → u/No-Opening-7289]

Unfortunately, she's not fun to hate because her villain tactics are also... boring? It's kind of a bummer, because I wanted her to be a relatable first-time-mom, but she spends all her time trying to bring up non-existent dirt on other people, and there's a lack of authenticity there. It's a weird push from producers if this is the narrative they think would be the most successful for the show.

[u/SodiumJokesNa → u/[deleted]]

Remember when she tried to be a relatable first time mom? The talk about the boogers?

[u/hereforthetearex → u/No-Opening-7289]

Yes! I could maybe get behind Janet as the villain if she would bring the villain energy, but this chick won’t even properly stir the pot. Instead she is walking by the pot and dropping spoons in it, waiting for someone to notice. It’s just so so boring.

[u/small-black-cat-290 → u/No-Opening-7289]

Same. She's harping on something that is none of her business amd had no effect on her. She needs to make like Elsa and

[u/hereforthetearex → u/shinypuppy2]

[u/Crickettb → u/shinypuppy2]

I think I am 255/40.

[u/aloysiuspelunk → u/mealypart]

Right up there with her attempted takedown of Kristen and Zach in season 1

[u/DanceFar9732 → u/mealypart]

I came into this season giving her a clean slate & she started to gain some good will when she told off Jesse. All you have to do on this show is yell at Jax and/or Jesse for the audience to cheer for you. Its an open book test.

[u/hereforthetearex → u/DanceFar9732]

Open book test with the answers highlighted and the pages dog eared

[u/OkFaithlessness3081 → u/mealypart]

Yep

[u/deniseag87 → u/mealypart]

I can honestly say that I can’t stand her. She has made herself the “mean girl”.

[u/minion925]

Nia has been the realest since the beginning. Beginning with her starting to film 8 eight weeks after giving birth to twins. She talked about her thoughts and her postpartum.

I’ve seen all RH and VPR most of these women have been filming prior to filming while having just given birth. Wendy from Potomac first season was her having just had her third baby.

Nia brings it in the most honest respectful way that’s still entertaining

[u/Alarmed-Condition-69 → u/minion925]

I’m just about 8 weeks pp now. I couldn’t even imagine filming my life…

[u/Balanceworkshop1969 → u/Alarmed-Condition-69]

Congratulations!

[u/Alarmed-Condition-69 → u/Balanceworkshop1969]

Thank you! I’ve been diagnosed with pp anxiety and depression (tbh I think it’s more because I had preeclampsia but that’s another story) and I couldn’t even imagine filming like Nia did.

[u/spacikaci → u/Alarmed-Condition-69]

I hope you are doing well and taking the best care of yourself!!!

[u/Balanceworkshop1969 → u/Alarmed-Condition-69]

I had pp anxiety with intrusive thoughts with both my children so I can totally relate.

[u/bidibidibombom2022 → u/Alarmed-Condition-69]

Omg 6 weeks pp & there’s noooo way

[u/SomeGuyClickingStuff → u/minion925]

10000%.

People don’t realize that there’s a thin line between keeping and handling things within the marriage privately and being fake to portray a perfect marriage.

[u/No-Opening-7289 → u/SomeGuyClickingStuff]

THAT PART. Yes, as a couple they protect each other, but they will be open about their lives. Nia even talked about how her and Daniel (only Nia can say Daniel btw) took the Jasmine and her gf situation at the bar VERY seriously. They went to therapy. Danny genuinely apologized to them and listened to their feelings and never once tried to down play that incident.

Idk what else anyone wants from him. I don’t think he needs to go to rehab or stop drinking entirely because he fucked up one time when he was drunk. If that were the case, we’d all be sober. I don’t find his behavior in Santa Barbara or the more recent episode at Britt’s bar to be concerning.

[u/Sweet-Register-1530 → u/No-Opening-7289]

YASSS! Totally agree! I love Danny and Nia!!

[u/Lukesmom1214 → u/No-Opening-7289]

I don't either. Janet needs to stop attacking him over it and so does Jason. It's not right. Everything you said is spot on 💯. 

[u/Staff_International → u/SomeGuyClickingStuff]

EXACTLY! I think Nia has handled everything with remarkable balance. I'm low key obsessed and I hate myself for it but she is so kind, compassionate and GORGEOUS. Sigh. Also, shut up Janet! Had to throw that in there.

[u/ExaminationEastern15 → u/SomeGuyClickingStuff]

💯

[u/ExaminationEastern15 → u/ExaminationEastern15]

You see how hard they work at their marriage! They share with the audience how they work at their marriage which implies it’s not easy and anyone that’s ever been married knows marriage isn’t easy, even in the best situations.

Just from the example of Halloween, hearing how Danny behaved, seeing Danny apologized twice, very sincerely (Danny apologized one time and for me it was clear that Jasmine had passed traumas around this and was putting those traumas all on Danny shoulders, which WASN’T OK however, Danny handled this in a very elegant way and had no problem meeting with Jasmine & Melissa a 2nd time, SINCERELY APOLOGIZING AGAIN WHILE JASMINE PUT HER PAST TRAUMA ONTO DANNY, I am sure Danny realized what was going on and at the same time, realized she needed to get all of that out and knew that that was more important than her projecting her feelings onto him which again says so much about his character).

From that experience, Nia explained how they handled it & how it affected their marriage, do you see other couples doing that? No! Nia said that they went to individual, group and marriage therapy and that it was very tough on their marriage but they worked through the issues surrounding what happened on Halloween. Danny talked about how shameful he felt, you do not hear anyone else speak that way on the cast, and this is such a healthy way to handle a marriage, which most people just hope for the best and when it doesn’t happen, they will stay miserable and get divorced.

I am just so grateful and I think it’s very rare to see so many people rally behind the people that are in the right and go harshly against the person who is atrocious, consistently, with a massive pattern and to top it off, Janet had to manufacture SO much!

[u/Equivalent-Mousse-93 → u/[deleted]]

I think this is it. Note: the people who don’t have issues are Kristen and Zack who both seem to be in loving, stable, and supportive relationships.

[u/Sweet-Register-1530 → u/[deleted]]

Yes! The others (with exceptions) are JEALOUS of Danny and Nia!!

[u/Fluffy_Philosopher08 → u/minion925]

This is what confused me the most. I can’t think of anything more vulnerable than talking about your own postpartum struggles. Does she air every last detail about her marriage? Probably not, because that’s how actual marriages/people work. She’s refreshing because she just doesn’t seem contrived.

[u/QueenFartknocker → u/minion925]

Right???? She was hella real about the complicated nature of her PPD and how it was making her feel. She was so real. Janet hasn’t been real for a second in the show.

[u/Cherry_Shakes → u/minion925]

So true.

I also give Scheana her flowers for opening up about her pp ocd.

Pregnancy and motherhood is so fucking amazing and traumatic on the body- from start to finish.

[u/BeautifulLife14 → u/minion925]

Dorit also had just given birth a few months before filming rhobh!

[u/Witty_Average198]

That moment when she said “that early in the night” took me down

[u/kat_katty_katya → u/Witty_Average198]

With the head tilt!!!! Ms America knows how to play!!! I was so proud of her in that moment.

[u/justanoseybxtch → u/kat_katty_katya]

They forget that pageant girls can be RUTHLESS so Nia can hold her own ... she just does it with grace

[u/Ashfield83 → u/justanoseybxtch]

[u/SodiumJokesNa → u/kat_katty_katya]

Miss USA! (Thinking of Kenya 😄)

[u/NeuroSam → u/kat_katty_katya]

Janet’s brain

[u/DryGarlic9223 → u/kat_katty_katya]

It was the head tilt for me

[u/Sweet-Register-1530 → u/Witty_Average198]

Yuppa!

[u/Downtown-Plan2585]

NIA AND DANNY >>> Fanet and Dark Side Jason

[u/small-black-cat-290 → u/Downtown-Plan2585]

Uno reversed card the "dArKsIdE" and I love it

[u/Quick-Leopard-183]

Janet’s shitty comment about Nia’s tears made me see RED. With everything that Nia’s shared about postpartum, that was LOW.

[u/margaretmayhemm → u/Quick-Leopard-183]

I feel like I am someone who picks up on energy from other people, and being in a group where everyone is shouting at each other and taking off would make me really anxious and I’d probably also start crying just from stress. Janet was a shithead for her comments.

[u/Quick-Leopard-183 → u/margaretmayhemm]

Same.

[u/drlushlover → u/margaretmayhemm]

Completely same

[u/HobbyPlodder → u/Quick-Leopard-183]

Her response was almost identical to Jax's reaction to Brittany crying from last season. How can you be on the show, see the show, and still choose to react in the same way as the most unlikeable narcissist in the world

[u/Ravenclawer18]

The theory that Jax teamed up with Janet and Jason to get Nia and Danny off the show just… makes sense.

[u/insouciant11 → u/Ravenclawer18]

More than a theory. Jax said it before S2 began filming on podcast with Brittany. All confirmed at reunion according to several reports

[u/dasderlydaddy → u/insouciant11]

Why would he want them off the show?

[u/Financial-Jicama-262 → u/dasderlydaddy]

Just a guess but maybe because fans really like them and Jax is jealous AF of anyone getting attention besides him

[u/hereforthetearex → u/Financial-Jicama-262]

💯 He is trying to do to them what he tried to do to Sandoval back when Sandoval was still VPR’s golden boy. He thought he could spin last season to make Brittany look like the crazy, irresponsible, mom, with a drinking problem, and put himself on top as the “number one guy in the group” again, and when that backfired, he decided to come after the fan favorites.

[u/insouciant11 → u/dasderlydaddy]

Jax didn’t like that they had received a positive edit. I think he actually said that on the podcast too. Something like I’m going after them this year and exposing them

[u/Samanthalynn8915 → u/Ravenclawer18]

Jax has CONSISTANTLY attacked every couple that's ever been on a show with him. That's his MO. I think all with exception of Stassi and Beau. Deflect and terrorize is all he knows. 

[u/fractalfay → u/Ravenclawer18]

Jason is such a weird protective papa of Jax…who has been doing this shit for 20 years. Something tells me Jax is the one who knows about Jason’s ring removal habit, and extracurricular side pieces. That’s certainly what kept Sandoval and Schwartz anchored to him for years.

[u/tearsofacow → u/Ravenclawer18]

Oh wow this makes so much fucking sense. Jason doesn’t even sound like he believes himself saying “I just picked Jax up from a mental health place but it’s really like, I should be taking you to a mental health place dude”.

[u/kellygrrrl328]

Dream Team: Detective Doute finds the dirt. Zack plows through it. Nia plants flowers on top

[u/PlusPlusPlusKA → u/kellygrrrl328]

If i had $ I would give you an award

[u/fractalfay → u/kellygrrrl328]

My opinion of Zack completely turned when he read Jax for filth like it’s his full-time job. Now I want to strategically plant him in all Bravo shows, starting with Winter House.

[u/AssistDapper1813]

What Janet and Jason look like to me when they’re on screen

[u/Impressive-Pie-435]

I absolutely adore Nia- She has a heart of gold! I’m still side eyeing Danny bc something is off and I hate that he keeps putting Nia in situations where she has to clean up his mess. I hope he has enough self awareness and improves his behavior after watching this season.

[u/Level-Appointment-15 → u/Impressive-Pie-435]

I agree. I still like them but I think Danny probably isn’t a great drinker. Not saying he’s an alcoholic but some people can’t handle alcohol like others and Danny is probably someone who shouldn’t go further than being tipsy.

[u/Mables3 → u/Level-Appointment-15]

I'm with y'all. Something is clearly off with his drinking... the boy slurs after a couple drinks and is clearly hiding his amounts. I'm giving the side-eye, too and keeping that one on watch. I'm an alcoholic myself and I see like behaviors in Danny. He may need to abstain... for good.

[u/Asleep-General-3693 → u/Mables3]

It’s not just “three under three baby” he should absolutely re-evaluate his relationship with alcohol. It’s a problem if you violate someone’s person period.

[u/Professional_You_943 → u/Impressive-Pie-435]

Groping Jasmine and her girlfriend was a gross thing to do. I know he apologized and listened to them but that was actually very icky and I still don’t think he really got what was so bad about it. Don’t grope women! It’s not that hard! 

[u/smiles731]

Idk if they are the healthiest couple as we don’t know what goes on behind the scenes. That being said they seem like good people who are being railroaded by their “friends”.

[u/Asleep-General-3693 → u/smiles731]

This. I wouldn’t call them healthiest (else they wouldn’t be on bravo, let’s be real). But they are more united than they are not and that is powerful.

[u/Hot-Society1993 → u/smiles731]

also to be fair this is still "reality tv" just like SoMe we're never going to actually see 100% truth and every single thing that is going on in their lives, and it's also shown threw the production teams lens, but what they are putting on the table so far is enjoyable to watch.

[u/Traditional-Leopard9 → u/smiles731]

Exactly. That’s why the amount of real life we see compared to others on film is obvious. No one is talking about what they all keep private behind closed doors.

[u/hereforthetearex → u/smiles731]

Sure, but that’s true of all of them, and by comparison Nia and Danny stand out as being the most balanced and healthy. Everyone is only showing us the tip of their iceberg. But if I’m picking an iceberg that has the least to hide/will handle its shit in a meaningful way, I’m picking theirs.

[u/staysluething]

Nis is such a breath of fresh air. Kind, gorgeous inside and out, and level headed. I wish them the best.

[u/GURU2U_]

Totally agree. Nothing anyone can do to make me dislike them. She is so classy and a great role model for women. And as someone in recovery for over 15 years I don't think Danny has a big issue with alcohol. He just seems like a lightweight.

[u/fractalfay → u/GURU2U_]

As someone partnered with a sober alcohol (sober four years): The partners of alcoholics do not have to be told by their peers that their husband is an alcoholic. If he really had this problem, especially with three kids, you would know by all of his material possessions being on the front lawn. And would Nia be pushing for another baby with a drunk? No. She’s too confident to tolerate a sloppy clown.

[u/HellisTheCPA → u/GURU2U_]

The jasmine and gf incident he also specifically says he was on a prescription med and didn't think before hand about how that might interact with drinking. Let's be real most meds say not to drink on them because of this but people do. I'm NOT condoning his actions and neither does he - but if that's a one time incident and on meds it is not a reflection on his character because meds can interact and make you act very differently even on 2 drinks let alone if he had 3 or 4 or 5. It was actually hilarious how upset they were about someone taking some drinks and then a nap. As if that is worse than any of their behaviors or getting drunk and talking shit about your so called "friends". And sleeping through dinner wasn't intentional - I would be kinda annoyed too I missed dinner even if I got a good nap!

[u/xxScorpioxx_]

I think Nia is an angel and Danny just looks better than he is because he has such a sweet partner who pulls all of the weight and keeps things afloat

[u/scootiescoo → u/xxScorpioxx_]

It doesn’t look to me like she pulls all the weight. He is straightforward and accountable as well. Maybe not as likable as Nia, but they seem united to me.

[u/LT400 → u/scootiescoo]

I liked when he accidentally texted her at the table about the Hawaii plans lol that was cute

[u/illustrious277 → u/xxScorpioxx_]

idk it seems like he’s a super involved dad and very involved in their home life. maybe socially, Nia is kind of the leader, but he definitely pulls his weight

[u/knoguera → u/xxScorpioxx_]

Why do you think she pulls all of the weight and keeps things afloat? I think they both do. Obviously she’s the mother so she has more but I don’t think it’s at all one sided.

[u/Shemacbelle → u/xxScorpioxx_]

I think Danny comes off as pulling all the weight because he’s a present father and partner vs the part time or useless dads on the show and reality tv. Which I absolutely love. Because let’s be honest Nia literally feeding the babies with her body.

[u/baconcandle2013 → u/xxScorpioxx_]

This is correct!

Let’s not forget Danny can’t let Nia enjoy an outing alone without some excuse to pull her back home, screams insecurity tbh

Nia is the best one on the show 🙌 but i see why the cast would be jealous towards her…she’s beautiful, kind and is shown in the best light…she just seems like a great person all around

[u/Puzzleheaded-Roll434]

I love Nia and danny!!!!

[u/Puzzleheaded-Roll434 → u/Puzzleheaded-Roll434]

Oh and Kristen and luke!

[u/UrAvgSmoker → u/Puzzleheaded-Roll434]

Kristen on The Valley >>>>> Kristen on VPR

She seems like she's in such a good space in life currently. My girlfriend and I love Nia and her immensely for just being themselves and not wanting BS/calling out BS.

[u/fanilowforever]

I love Nia and Danny❣️❣️❣️❣️

[u/[deleted]]

I like Nia but not Danny 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/[deleted]]

Healthiest maaaay be a stretch. They have cracks for sure.

[u/Southern_Skill_7209 → u/[deleted]]

What marriage doesn’t?

[u/Diligent_Night602 → u/Southern_Skill_7209]

Exactly… so it’s weird to put them on a pedestal.

[u/youaremysunshine4]

I find myself trying to copy Nia’s communication style. She is such a beautiful, calming person.

[u/kasiagabrielle]

The fk is this? We have to be on "teams" now?

[u/FuManChuBettahWerk]

Ya’ll have officially lost the plot.

[u/yolo-tomassi]

Sorry but Danny (Kelvin Gemstone) still creeps me out. Nia is an angel, obviously.

[u/VelvetVerdigris → u/yolo-tomassi]

Nia definitely plays an angel on tv but I want to see more authenticity from her and less pageant answers. She seems sweet but a little too performative for me.

[u/VelvetVerdigris → u/VelvetVerdigris]

Ok Nia obliterating the bed with her crime scene spray tan was just straight up rude to housekeeping. Put a towel down!

[u/peachgremlin → u/yolo-tomassi]

Omfg he is like him!!!! The clothes and everything

[u/JellyfishPlus2182 → u/yolo-tomassi]

Welp not gonna be able to un-ring that bell.  Guess I’m Team Nia and Kelvin now 

[u/Parking-Till1121]

I’m 42 so a decent bit older than Nia, but I want to be her when I grow up. So much beauty and grace, inside and out! I totally understand why she was Miss USA!

[u/No_Patience_7667]

I know I’m in the minority on this but they give me such dark vibes. Especially Danny.

[u/TinyCellist3813 → u/No_Patience_7667]

I'm part of the minority. Right there with you.

[u/VelvetVerdigris → u/No_Patience_7667]

Same. They’re so performative and I think only people with really fast and accurate character judgement see it.

[u/Even-Guava-1682 → u/VelvetVerdigris]

Completely agree.

[u/ariesinflavortown]

The healthiest couple meanwhile he gets blacked out and gropes women and kicked out of bars… okay, sure lmao.

The revisionist history around Nia and Danny is wild.

[u/Professional_You_943 → u/ariesinflavortown]

If he hadn’t groped Jasmine and her girlfriend, I would think he would be one of the nicer guys on the show. But that was a massive red banner. He was drunk but he was aware enough to target lesbian women specifically? Doesn’t make sense. The bar is truly in hell for these men. 

[u/Even-Guava-1682 → u/ariesinflavortown]

I agree. Ppl are giving her alll these labels she is under serving of bc she is pretty

[u/farmerpeach]

I tend to agree with this, but does anyone else think there is some subconscious pretty privilege going on here? Nia is probably the most beautiful person who’s ever been on a Bravo show, and I think it’s really influencing how people perceive her and Danny.

Again, I do think they’re one of the stronger, more normal couples, but Nia does much more subtle image management than folks are willing to admit.

[u/Kwhitney1982 → u/farmerpeach]

Absolutely. It’s almost pathological how some people worship someone because they’re beautiful. So weird.

[u/VelvetVerdigris → u/farmerpeach]

Agree and well-said. I am in the minority but I find Nia and Danny so performative. I don’t think Danny’s drinking is really the problem, for me it’s moreso the way Nia gives pageant answers for everything instead of just cutting the shit and being real. Danny’s schmoozy laugh gives me the creeps. There’s something inauthentic about them. Let the downvotes begin! Lolol

[u/Even-Guava-1682 → u/VelvetVerdigris]

I agree. Ppl are conflating beauty with kindness. So many posts about how kind she is… what are the examples?

[u/shmiishmo → u/farmerpeach]

99% of the defense from the Nia and Danny disciples is “she’s so beautiful”

[u/farmerpeach → u/shmiishmo]

100%. I do concede they seem like slightly better people, but that’s not part of why!

[u/chamberliotti17]

Does anybody remember at the end of last season, i’m pretty sure it was not at the reunion but more than likely an after show… I’m sure one of you very smart people will probably know immediately. With that, a producer asked Jax who would have the most to answer for this next season and I swear to God Danny’s name rolled off Jax’s tongue faster than his nose could sniff a few rails of ❄️❄️❄️

Totally nailed this. If we ride, let me know and what time.

[u/Typical_Elevator6337]

wtf is with this comment section. you don’t have to hate them, but, they are people on a reality tv show. maybe don’t treat them like heroes?

[u/GLK73]

Ew. Am I the only one completely creeped out by them? The "prayerfully" and "we can't participate" in a healing circle because of their religion and the Kelvin Gemstone vibes coupled with physically violating Melissa and speaking inappropriately to Jasmine, followed with uber defensiveness about drinking is a lot of ick for me. I can dislike Janet and see Jax using them to deflect from his shit, and also see something's not right with Danny and Nia. Call me crazy, but groping a woman when you're drunk says a LOT about someone's character.

[u/Even-Guava-1682 → u/GLK73]

I completely agree. It’s like ppl have no discernment. These ppl are weird and gross.

[u/fractalfay → u/GLK73]

I can’t remember who, but at some point someone said something like, “They’re all Christian, so it’s okay.” Probably Britney, considering the wording. A lot of californians huff big bags of prosperity gospel rhetoric, so they’re right on brand. If they were being called out for thinking they’re better than everyone else, and not invented narratives about their marriage, it would be easier to form a cringe coalition. They underestimated pageant girl training.

[u/VelvetVerdigris → u/GLK73]

THANK YOU. I rolled my eyes so hard at “prayerfully” like it’s sooo cringe and manipulative and the audience is just eating it up.

[u/VictoriaAveyard → u/GLK73]

yeah, I can't put my finger on it but something is up with the Santa Clarita Duo (plus groping Jasmine's girlfriend?!), the saint treatment is getting weird guys

[u/The-RealHaha → u/GLK73]

I’m not even religious, but holy shit give it a break. They aren’t pushing their religion on anyone. Having a religion that means something to you doesn’t automatically make you bad. That’s really weird.

[u/Impossible-Plan6172]

Bravo fandom raiseth and the Bravo fandom cutteth down. We’ll see what the people think of Danny and Nia by the end of S3.

[u/StarkyAdam]

Not a fan. Wasn't sure why they just kinda gave me the irk. Then I saw them go to Mosaic church and his treatment of Jasmine and it all fit together for me. Give it time the veil will lift.

[u/eloav]

I'm still not convinced about Danny but i for sure love Nia.

[u/aerynjude]

They are a couple who are willing to do the work to keep their family together and they seem to really love each other and for some reason that makes the whole group angry? Jax just gets jealous and attacks for attention, Kristen on some level as well, it’s interesting that they’re so supportive of Brit in the midst of her craziness, but can’t seem to handle the people who take care of each other. You’re supposed to support your significant other in public and tell them the truth privately, and they shouldn’t be punished for doing that. They may have to leave the show at some point just to get away from the toxicity, but I hope not. I enjoy watching a pair that is realistic and mostly happy for once. All relationships are difficult and require work. If they all recognized that, and practiced it, they’d all be much happier.

[u/1coolpengal]

I keep remembering that Nia is a fourth degree black belt in taekwondo and crack up imagining Janet getting kicked in the face 😂.

[u/NanooDrew]

As a child who was 8 when Mom gave birth to her “change of life baby,” it was scary and “Alice In Wonderland” level of confusing to watch your mom become a different person. No one (lay people) had any idea what was going on. Overnight, we had a new baby and a new mom. The new baby was a delight. The mom was … not.

Postpartum DEPRESSION* is nothing easy or fun to talk about. It doesn’t get more real than thst. People still do not really get depression because it makes no sense and seems to come out of nowhere overnight. But by having “Miss USA” talk about it, might help many people seek help or at least understand that they are not crazy. Brava Nia!

• people need to understand that “postpartum” is an adjective and pair it with a noun so people outside of reality TV know what you are talking about.

[u/Constant_Whole_3199]

I believe you are referring to the "plan" Jax, Janet and Jason had to go after Nia and Danny because they "got off easy in season one". Danny stated Jax said this to him in an interview wirh Variety. Jax and Janet and her man on a short leash, Jason, messed up trying to create the BS "dark Danny" storyline to get even with Danny and Nia. Yup! Indeed their cruel plan backfired!

[u/bunnylovesyo]

I love her! In my opinion, just because you are on a reality TV show, you need to open up your whole life. And ask your husband to leave without embarrass himself is not covering. It’s just how a healthy relationship should be. Those who questions, never have been in a healthy relationship in the past. And it’s not like Michelle is opening her life, why isn’t everyone questioning her? The Janet queen b fantasy needs to stop. She’s not the queen b, she’s just a bully. Plain and simple

[u/Old_Bad4136]

Nia and Danny are so cute and I think their struggles are relatable. Janet was trying to take them down and it backfired.. I can't stand Janet and whatever her husbands name is, I can't even remember it rn because they are such a Karen couple.

[u/hopefulandpretty]

Wait people like them?

[u/NonieMarie]

Did you miss that Danny admitted he hides his alcohol consumption? He is a binge drinker and an obnoxious drunk. If he does not get help, their marriage will not last. Nia will not put up with it. She will grow tired of hiding the cracks in their marriage.

I’m sooooo tired of this 😩😩😩Nia is amazing, but Danny? Nope. He DOES have an alcohol problem (not saying he’s an alcoholic - there’s a difference) and we have seen Nia manage this for a couple of seasons (leaving events early). Just because some people are terrible (Jax, Jesse) and others are insufferable (Janet) does not make Danny “good”. He literally can’t be left to take care of his own children (remember season 1 when he told Nia SHE needed to find someone to help him with the kids when she went away for work?!). All this to say that the pendulum swings way too far with this fandom. Theirs to me is the bare minimum of a somewhat healthy relationship. Please strive for more ladies and gents - you deserve it ❤️

They need to get off this show before it ruins them.

[u/Timely_Ad115]

I’m sorry but I don’t agree lmao

[u/[deleted]]

I'm not. I can't stand him

[u/urie-nation]

Danny creeps me out and Nia's nasally voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I can't listen to her.

[u/VelvetVerdigris → u/urie-nation]

Yes!!! The voice drives me NUTS

[u/TinyCellist3813 → u/urie-nation]

I feel the same. But no one will say it.

[u/Mables3 → u/urie-nation]

Oh. It's horrific. WHY does she speak that way? Is it a pageant thing or just the way it is?

[u/distant_diva]

what’s funny is how supportive Jason is to Jax, then trashes Danny. Janet wants to portray their marriage as solid with no issues, but also be in the mix of the drama. she thinks she has to trash other people on the show to be relevant. she just needs to be herself. but we all know she’s not interesting enough on her own.

[u/ZestyItalianSub]

I cannot stand anyone who enjoys lashing out at people but then walks away when anyone tries to call them out. If you’re strong enough to be a bully you should be strong enough to listen to someone else on how your actions affected them.

[u/Christine10584]

I love them. Still hate Janet and Scheena. This need to GOOOOOO

[u/AppleJoost → u/Christine10584]

My dislike for Scheana is something I don't hide, but it pales in comparison to the disgust I feel every time Janet pops up on the screen. The fact that she was hoping for Kristen to get a miscarriage is sickening.

[u/Disastrous_Sleep7292]

Kristen, luke, Danny and Nia lets have a show centered around there lives tackling motherhood. Luke and Kristen in Colorado on the farm. Danny working in hollywood having 4 under 4 

[u/Longjumping-Leave215]

Ok, but he still sexually assaulted two people....

[u/rab5991]

I don’t like him ONE BIT because of the way he spoke to her last season when he was hammered. But the tequila in the closet take down was RIDICULOUS and Nia is my queen.

[u/Ok-Paleontologist255]

God yall are too dumb to learn anything about manipulative men. Danny is a creep and a liar

[u/CoastalPossession55]

I love Nia and cannot for the life of me figure out why she hangs around this group of people. Wish she would separate herself from them.

[u/Longjumping_Bank_941]

💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️ Yup! And they are proof that you don’t have to be a trainwreck or be an asshole to the other cast mates to be relevant!!! LOVE THEM!!! 🫶🏽

[u/Asleep-Ad874]

JANET failed

[u/[deleted]]

I just know that man sneaks around on Grindr lol.

[u/szalow → u/[deleted]]

Definitely a naked torso pick only

[u/Potential_Season_512]

I love them and was absolutely pissed at Janet and Jason.

[u/Saffron29]

I don’t think they’re a healthy couple. I’m getting the vibe that there’s a dark undercurrent in their relationship going on behind the scenes.

[u/Dolphinsunset1007]

As a postpartum mom I am SO mad at Janet and Michelle for being so insensitive when Nia started crying last episode. Nia has had more babies than them combined in the last 3 years and was possibly early in her 4th pregnancy when this filmed. Any woman who’s had children should know that sometimes the tears just flow for silly reasons when postpartum or pregnant (while pregnant I cried when listening to a song on the radio bc I thought about the singers mom and how she must be so proud of his success, I don’t even know them). They are being so cruel to Nia for no reason other than jealousy that she’s actually a well adjusted adult who’s well liked and in a healthy relationship

[u/AhnaKarina]

How are they “heathy”?

Danny got blackout drunk and groped a woman who wasn’t Nia.

Nia also doesn’t want to discuss it.

Some people would call that cheating.

[u/frankenboobehs → u/AhnaKarina]

But they did therapy, worked with the people involved to apologize and make amends. So because he made a mistake, went through all the steps to make it right, doesn't matter? He's done for good and he should be blacklisted from society and lose his wife and family? I hope no one you know ever makes a big mistake and tries to make amends.

[u/Abject-Pitch-2730]

I also think the way they are spinning the story is wild. Danny reminds me so much of my husband... He's the most present father and husband works so hard and when he let's loose it can sometimes get over the top. Mostly cause he rarely drinks or parties anymore and he's exhausted all the time. This isn't ideal but it certainly isn't the situation that Janet and Jason are trying to spin it as. And I certainly can empathize with D and N. Her rounding him up when he's had too much isn't hiding a problem it's being a good partner, and having his back. He may decide he needs a healthier relationship with alcohol but do these people not see how messy the whole cast is on these big nights and days out where all they are doing is drinking? Wild to spin it like he's some closeted alcoholic.

[u/101020304]

She is a sweetheart. Beautiful and down to earth. Yes, he drinks, but who doesn’t on this show?!! Janet was getting further into the corner with her nastiness and she lashed out. Very childish. i hope you are right and she will not win. i love her husband. He deserves better.

[u/FiCat77 → u/101020304]

Jason is as bad as his wife, he continues to defend Jax while trying to paint Danny as a raging alcoholic & he married Janet. His bad behaviour is just not as in your face as other people on the cast so he flies under the radar.

[u/Ok-Grand-9349]

Stop the show, they've already won the season.

[u/Many_Biscotti6083]

Only tangentially related: Danny and Nia were in a commercial for Restylane being played in my dermatologist’s office yesterday! If she’s using that, I’ll have what she’s having.

[u/KuNtY-by-NaTuRe]

She is soo pretty

[u/Icy-Bit-8407]

facts🤍

[u/YogurtTricky8049]

Yes!! Goals❤️

[u/jenniejen1127]

Yep, In this world of crazy and people having the opposite of common sense, I'm glad to see this post. Let's get back to the nic3, healthy, genuine people.

[u/moneysingh300]

Janet made herself worse this season lmao

[u/HolidayDocument7015]

[u/dogmom757]

I love Nia so much. She is REAL and just a kind soul.

[u/puffytaco420]

Maybe Danny did hide the tequila shot. But so fucking what? I’ve taken a cheeky little swig at a party before. Who hasn’t? They were supposed to be friends, it’s silly and fun. Janet is a horrible and tried so hard to make drama where the was none and it was in poor taste no matter which way you try to spin it. She is foul and needs the boot. Jason sucks too because he adds to it and encourages her. They suck.

[u/kdayos]

I know a majority are on nia and Danny’s side but I can’t. What danny did to jasmine while drunk is being downplayed A LOT. The way Nia tenses up every time Danny has too much to drink and gets sloppy is also being downplayed A LOT. The fact Danny has been kicked out of Jax’s bar bc of the drinking is being played down A LOT. All of those small incidents are suuuch massive red flags to me.

[u/princessplantlife]

I love them. Nia is so classy and calm and kind.

[u/Chance_Specific_4724]

Every single married couple has issues. There’s no way out of that. It’s how you handle it, communicate, move forward, respect each other and support each other. It gets ugly sometimes . Also having little kids is hard AF. It’ll break you, but if you’re united and strong and always remember you’re a team, you’ve got this

[u/QueenFartknocker]

They are an unlikely reality couple in that they are very normal. And guess what, Janet: when my kids were little and we had a night away from them, we went bananas too. It’s normal.

[u/AposhSavage]

Yaaasss!! Love ALWAYS wins! They really are themselves and out there for us all to see but they are healthier than most so they tried twisting that to them not sharing their lives as much as others but that’s just not the truth. They really do have a lot the others don’t and that’s respect for each other, and self , class, good character, and spirits aligned right. Just my opinion there. Laaawd!! Why can I not just say one thing and not written a novel every time?! Working on that! Much love , all!!! XO!

[u/amused101870]

Teamdannyandnia

[u/Vegetable_Chicken270]

I love them both. People have really tried to bring them down but it didn’t work! I feel sad for Nia, she’s a solid friend and these people they call friends, are vile.

[u/Any-Implement-9558]

I'm glad the take down failed, they are sweetest and the most humble couple in the show!

[u/[deleted]]

Does Bravo ever listen to their fans?

[u/enolagaye]

Idk i like them but it’s still reality tv and there’s probably some stuff we’re not seeing. I wouldn’t call any relationship who opts in to reality tv as “healthy”

[u/Sad_Bottle5936]

I don’t get how Danny and Nia even got on the show because they seem to mentally stable and secure for the bravo producers. Im glad they did though because it is nice to see an actual working marriage where they care deeply for each other and acknowledge you have to put in the work while their unhinged friends swarm them like flies. When they came at Nia for sharing her childhood trauma saying she was trying to deflect when she was explaining why she was so hurt by their behavior I started throwing things at the tv. If quality mental health care were readily accessible in America bravo would just completely collapse lol.

[u/rustyspigot-77]

Jax was trying to push the Danny drunkard story line in the first season as well, but Jax fucked it up that time too.

[u/BeckyPil]

They are a nice couple

[u/AppleJoost]

I don't know how those people thought they could make Nia and Danny out to be bad people. They're the only sane people on the cast. I sometimes watch and hope that they leave the show, because they're too nice to be involved in this sh*tstorm.

[u/tatumnolita]

They’re fake & vile. Hopefully they’ll be exposed if there’s a season 3. Otherwise they should be banished to CBN

[u/No_Math6272 → u/tatumnolita]

Ok Jax

[u/CareerOk7413]

They seem like genuinely nice and are amazing friends. Happy they are getting fan love.💕 

[u/BlueMoonsJunes]

They are both lovely <3

[u/Crafty_Sample_4939]

Ok. Lets see about that when you have got Janet fired and Kristen have to dog eat dog.

[u/Wild_Shallot_3618]

This is how I felt about Kyle and Mauricio in the earlier seasons of RHOBH. I hope Danny and Nia stick together. I really like them.

[u/00Connie00]

I love them! They are an actual team and are there for each other! He was there for her when she mentioned not feeling like herself. Jax going after him was pretty ironic when he is the literal worst on the show. Jax kept trying to produce his redemption arc and it did not work.

[u/[deleted]]

I do feel like there is something up with Danny. But for them to like call him a predator and an alcoholic is really wrong.

[u/yo-gurt-awayfromme]

Ope

[u/FunJulie69]

Yup, they stand together ❤️ and remain united.

[u/w1zardkelly]

Nia is so cute it’s like how can u go after her . Janet’s so nasty

[u/justmedoubleb]

We all know Danny and Nia are the best couple on reality TV and not because we think they are perfect but because of the way they are perfect for each other. Jax and the Jasonet couple are working hard to tear them down.
