Apparently, the VH-1 folks started to flake out after the suicide attempt, they wanted to stop the show and get the hell away from this couple. Gretchen begged them to continue because she thinks (or so she says) is that these events on tape will be the only thing that makes Danny realize he needs help.
Sweatpea has a point about him "attempting" suicide as punishment on his wife. He attempted to kill himself with his wife's pink Bic razor. I don't think that's possible.
A total aside, I was on a flight with him , I think in '94? It was long enough after the whole transvestite thing that it was kind of blown over, right when he was doing that fake talk show-informercial. He was in the last seat of first class and I was in the first seat of steerage.
I don't have a cool story about him going crazy, upsetting serving trays, or getting piss drunk. He was actually very nice, and sort of embarassed about being in first class. I don't think more than the flight crew and I knew who he was.
