EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: Danielle Staub Discharged Of $1.9M In Bankruptcy Debt
Staub filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in June 2012 claiming she had $1.9 million in liabilities — and only earned $63,000 that year!
The former reality TV star owed over $100,000 to the IRS, $70,000 in taxes to her local township and various attorney fees.
And while Judge Donald H. Steckroth discharged Staub's debts, there are certain debts that are not allowed to be discharged, which include debts for most taxes.
