NOTICE FROM MY SOURCE FOR THE FOLLOWING INTERVIEW: “Also just letting you know I never gave this information to any other site or blog or PEREZHILTON.”
The transcript below is the continuation of an interview conducted by the cousin of a former RHONJ post production supervisor. The cousin recorded the interview on September 17, 2012. The interview is a piece for another country on the reality of reality television and is not just about the RHONJ. The source forwarded parts about the RHONJ to Fame-Whorgas for publishing with the purpose of reading fan comments to get a different perspective on the transcript before publishing the piece on the country’s news website. My source saw that people were doubting the legitimacy of the interview when part 1 was published on September 23, 2012, so has given me permission to post the following:
“I was asked by my country’s main news website to write a piece on the reality of reality television. My cousin worked on RHONJ, so I asked for an interview. The interview was only given because RHONJ does not screen in my country, and I promised anonymity. We also don’t have any BRAVO shows on television here. I called my cousin in Washington and spoke for 20 minutes before realizing I would have to watch the RHONJ to understand what was going on and who was who. So I went online and watched every episode and called back a few weeks later. The second interview (which was recorded) was an hour and a half and mentioned numerous shows from TLC and Oxygen, but I have edited it down to the relevant parts, mainly due to privacy for my cousin.”
On Next Season
Q: “Cast changes for next season?”
A: “With the casting for the next season, that decision is made before the reunion episodes — we try to tie up any loose ends during the reunion to complete the women’s character arc and give the viewers a satisfying conclusion to the character that they have invested in over the series.
Q: “I know you said you’re not part of season 5, but can you tell me anything? I’m curious as to how the show would carry on after so much drama has spilled into the cast’s real lives.”
A: “I’m not involved next season, but I know Jacqueline and Kathy were not made offers, so Jacqueline won’t be back but look for Kathy to return in a limited capacity. Currently three women are under consideration to join the cast.”
A: “(edited*****************************) Caroline was made an offer to return and declined — it is possible she is waiting for a bigger offer ($$) or has something up the pipelines. She had only participated in season 4 so that her children would get exposure for their business ventures. She knew it (being a Real Housewife) would one day end, so she made sure her children had established themselves in their own businesses. I don’t like to have personal feelings about cast, but I do admire her — she had a plan going into season 3, and that was to use this platform to assist in setting up her children financially.”
(edited out)
Q: “Was Jacqueline fired for not attending the reunion (season 3)?”
A: “No, the producers didn’t want her there. The morning of the reunion, Jacqueline was threatening to expose Teresa and couldn’t be calmed down. (Names removed) had gone over to talk to her after she sent tweets which revealed plot points of the finale (edited*****************************). No one was to mention the fashion show, but Jacqueline kept saying she was finished and was going to expose Teresa at the reunion. Chris was worried about Jacqueline’s mental state, as she had not slept all night and been drinking a lot later in the night when all of the cast, minus the Giudices, met after the show for drinks. (Name removed) was more concerned about the reunion but knew it would confuse the large TV audience if Jacqueline was attacking her ‘friend’ (since the viewers were watching season 3). So, at the last minute, the call by the producers was that Jacqueline was not going to attend. The reunion episode was then edited with introducing what had happened at the fashion show to keep all of the twitter and blog fans happy and to tell them, ‘we know you are aware of what is going on, so we are going to mention it and move on’.”
Q: “And Melissa? Will she be back?”
A: “Yes (abridged due to privacy of source), she will definitely be back.”
Q: “Melissa’s sisters?”
A: “No, no, we get what they try and do on twitter and it takes the sparkle off the series; they won’t be housewives anytime soon.”
Q: “And you said earlier about Kathy not being asked back — so the big question is, do you know if Teresa is back next season?
A: “Teresa is 100% safe on housewives. I think you will find next season the format of the show will change dramatically.”
(edited out)
On September 25, 2012, the source e-mailed me this exchange with the producer cousin about the RadarOnline story: ‘Giudice Family In Talks With Bravo For Breakout Show‘
Q: “Is this true?”
A: “It’s true that they are looking at giving them a spinoff but Teresa will still be on season 5 of RHONJ with Melissa.”
Teresa Giudice is the top earner among all the women who appear in the various franchises, taking in a whopping $600,000 per season! Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer of The Real Housewives of New York City pull in a cool $500,000 each per season. After castmates Alex McCord and Jill Zarin got the boot last season, the two remaining NYC stars were given huge raises – nearly doubling their salaries, according to Star. Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson, the only member of the Southern California show who’s been featured for all eight seasons earns $450,000 per season. Fan favorite NeNe Leakes, who now appears on NBC’s The New Normal and has previously appeared on Fox’s Glee, pulls in $350,000 a season for her loud-mouthed antics on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I was looking forward for this post!!! You never disappoint us!!! Good job!!
Good riddance to them carline will claim she didn’t want to return because of Teresa
Jackson will,say she needs to work on charity for autism, Kathy will say she can,t stand to
Be near Teresa, they will say they don’t need all this hate from Teresa
When to fact is bravo ditched the whole bunch, next season people will reveal melisa for the garbage she is, and Teresa will come to the defense of Joey and meho when people will out them, she really does her brother, why ? I don’t know he he used his sister and called her horrible names, to me unforgivable ….Melissa sisters will still play twitter games and think they are celebs instead of trash they really are.
I can’t stand Melissa & Joe. I only want to see payback, but honestly, sooi sick of that hate/storyline…..i have no intetest in hw, but will watch Tre spinoff. No more Gorga’s – not entertaining. Sickening.
Llinda, I agree with you. I to want a payback, and that payback requires a replacement for Melissa. She Needs To Go!
What really gets me is Melissa is so stupid, so immature, that she wants to destroy Teresa. Let’s suppose for a moment that Melissa was successful getting Teresa fired from Real Housewives. Did it occur to the mooch, Melissa, that if Teresa goes, she goes? Melissa is on only because of Teresa. In a sense, Melissa and Kathy are dependent on Teresa to earn a buck. Again, If Teresa goes, Melissa gets the Bravo boot. Hell, I can even handle Kathy, but Melissa should go. Bravo should have never pitted two siblings against one another. They are the only two siblings in a family and Bravo tore a family apart. A blood family is torn apart because of Bravo and Melissa. That’s not entertaining, that’s pure EVIL!
Agree!
Not just Melissa but joe is also trash also, they will lie and cheat for the rest of their miserable lives
Im very happy that Jac will be gone, she is extremely impulsive and unstable, and makes everything worst. Great news Tre is safe, and might have own show as well as returnee on housewives. Hopefully Gorgas and Giudices can make amends. Would love to see more of Pete and his wife…
ive been reading all the big housewife blogs for years and this is EASILY the juiciest website of all time. LOVE!!!!
this from the pious and self righteous anderson cooper (very good friend of Andy)…hough Cooper appears to relay the information as nothing more than a side note, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that there is much more to the story.
Not only did CNN fail to mention for days the fact that it apparently used the personal journal of a murdered ambassador as a source, Stevens’ family reportedly asked CNN not to discuss the journal or its contents until they had a chance to review it. AND ANDERSON LIED ABOUT THIS!!! WHEN DO THEY STOP!!!! and he acts during the Theresa interview (because of course the world as we know it around us is falling apart), that wow, how can you have been…..blah blah blah………..
Yes, and she’s been invited back to the show today because twitter erupted in her support. Many chastising him for being a bully. But, glad you put things in perspective with the journal.
this is the best site ever, omg i saw on twitter about this site yesterday and have been reading everything for the last 6 hours? i need to sleep but i LOVE THIS SITE!!
The same thing happened to me. Lucky for me I discovered this site one morning and stayed on it all day long. Thanks to this site everything started to make sense.
Thank you again Fame.
I’m so glad Caroline is gone! I truly believe she was the mastermind, if you will, of the entire Tersea setup. She is a bully and more than likely influenced everyone involved with the show to portray Teresa in a negative light. Caroline is a true narcissist – she fits every aspect of the word. This setup was fueled by hate, and I haven’t seen anyone exhibit more hatred than Caroline. I might actually watch season five now!
I agree. I dont think Caroline realized the backlash she would receive when she started her hate campaign against Teresa. She is awful. I cant believe I liked her at one point.
I totally agree. Everyone keeps trying to tell Tre to let go of the past, but Caroline has had this vendetta against Tre for 2 seasons because of what she put in her cookbook? I’m sure there is more to it than that, but this is what Caroline wants everyone to believe. She’s got mental/anger issues!
Tell me, would you have someone in your life who calls you a c— and tells you to f—
yourself, then acts innocent? Someone who tries to have sex in the vineyard right next to
your birthday party? Someone who, on camera, asks Joe if he wants to put his finger up her
a–?
I know I would not socialize with anyone like that for a second. Teresa is TRASH.
Agreed with axtry, I can’t believe the supporters for theresa. She is a bloody nutcracker and her husband is horrible. A husband who calls his wife a C— is a dbag.
this is the article i commented on it doesn’t say about censors just the usual teresa bashing
I blogged elsewhere that censors need to be involved with all of reality TV. But I absolutely
stand by my statement that I would never be associated with someone who is as classless as
Teresa, and stated some examples why.
If you feel that is Teresa bashing, and she does nothing wrong, that’s your opinion.
sure you’re real name isn’t wacko jacko????
My last reply to you: I don’t believe in such childish blogs. I read enough of these to know
many Teresa fans do.
If you can’t state an opinion of the show rather than use personal attacks, I don’t care to hear
from you. I will not respond further because I now see you can’t discuss the show – like
Teresa, you just want to attack instead. I stated an opinion and told you that you have yours.
End of “discussion”.
notice zxtry you have something to say to everyone that talks to you lol
I should be flattered that you follow my blogs so closely! Yes, I am happy to respond to people
who ask about my position on the show, and not just call me a childish name. As I told you,
if you want to exchange opinions I would be glad to oblige. Name calling – no.
So you stop short of saying you wouldntbe frinds with any of them? Just a blanket statement but clear examples for Teresa?
Just since you asked, I would enjoy being friends with Caroline and Kathy. They are real and
they are people I enjoy. Jac and Melissa are too young for me to have a friendship, but I do
like them.
Now go ahead and bash. It’s my opinion and I won’t change it.
Thats what I thought. I dont care to change your mind….just wanted to point out the hipocrisy. Thanks for making my point even clearer.
I don’t follow your reasoning, unless you feel I’m not entitled to like the people I can identify
with. But may I point out you spell ” hypocrisy” thusly?
Again, you responded to my saying I have not seen a Teresa fan say something other than mean about any other person on the show. You responded with why you like Teresa.
I said I could be friends with Caroline and Kathy but am out of the age group for Melissa and
Jac. Please explain why that is hypocritical about that.
Im sorry that my spelling offended you. As for whatever else you wrote, I did not read it. People who point out spelling errors in blogs are not worth my time.
I totally agree! Teresa and joe are trash
I watched part 1 of the reunion again tonight, trying to keep an open mind. But nothing changed
it. Teresa calling Caroline an old hag, telling her she has 3 rolls of blubber and that she should
look in the mirror because she needs botox and fillers, then interrupting the talk about Jac’s
little boy, to try to get the attention on her are not the signs of some innocent victim of the abuse
of others! What kind of person thinks that behavior is ok?? She is like a mean teenager who can’t stand anyone else to get any positive attention so she has to cut deep no matter who it hurts. What an example for her children!
Who in the world on that cast COULD like her? Teresa fans who think that is acceptable and
she deserves to “get back” I truly do not understand.
They were all hurling insults at one another. Have you read Teresa’s blog explaining her comments and apologizing for her words? I truly believe she was being victimized by “mean girls” and simply lost her cool while being verbally attacked during the reunion. I give her props for admitting she was wrong, that’s more than any other cast member has done, ever.
But we all have had someone say something cutting to us, and that cut doesn’t go away because someone later goes on a blog to her fans to say she is now sorry. I just don’t buy it.
She didn’t stop at the blubber comment. She dug deeper with more comments about her face,
more than once. I can see one insult in the heat of the moment. But you don’t keep it up
like she did and really not mean it. Not a grown woman who should be teaching her daughters
to respect the feelings of others.
I agree her comments weren’t appropriate or excusable, but in comparison to the death threats made by Rosie (not to mention the threats of physical harm) and Kathy’s name calling (about her own family’s elders), Teresa’s comments are a breath of fresh air. And, she admitted she was wrong, where are Rosie’s and Kathy’s retractions? Teresa tried to rise above, but you’ve got to admit; while being verbally assaulted in the worst way, she didn’t do half the amount of damage with her words as the rest of the cast. Right?!
Wrong, if you want my view. Yes, I was shocked at Kathy’s words, but she has been so quiet all season I think she blew
up inappropriately, too. Yes, that was cruel. Then Teresa came back to insult Rosie and Kathy’s dead father, which was not appropriate or necessary. Rosie is a loose cannon and should not be on the
show at all. But she rarely is. Teresa is a prime person on the show and just is so rarely pleasant anymore. It’s no longer entertainment – it’s a contest to see who can degrade the other the most. Teresa is at least as guilty as the others!
My point is that no one has the right to purposely deeply hurt another person in a moment of
anger, and then dig that hurt in deeper. It is mean, cruel and will be with the person they hurt
forever.
These women all cross the line- way past what is civilized behavior. I guess what I don’t get
is why so many viewers excuse Teresa, no matter how vile she gets (calling them a c— and telling them to f— themselves, etc.) and say it’s just because she’s picked on, so the audience
should over look it. Well, this viewer can’t, and won’t. She is crude.
I might just add that Teresa makes almost $400,000 a year on this show! Much more than
anyone else. For that kind of money, do you think she could try to restrain her foul words
rather than saying whatever she wants to say, and then trying to make it right with her fans
on her blog?
Salary aside, why do you hold Teresa to a higher standard than anyone else on the show? I’m confused. Rosie can make death threats but because Teresa is a mother and makes more money via Bravo, she has to be a perfect person? I don’t see the logic, nor do I understand the rationale. In the end, we must agree to disagree. I appreciate the mature debate (no name calling, etc.).

I think Teresa is a horrible person. She lies about everything and wheezled her way back on the show again because she’s a disgusting, non entertaining, sickening, lying piece of scum. To even think that disgusting gross kim, with that ugly shop of hers selling cheap whore clothes is even more gross. Teresa and Joe are horrible parents. Milania proved that over and over by the language she used. A 5 yeard old hears and sees her parents actions and this is why she’s saying those things. Yeah Teresa, she made that all up by herself. a friggin 5 year old. You and ur hub swear and hit each other and fight like cats and dogs and this is where she’s getting her vocabulary, It’s sickening. hooker, whore, all those words that a little girl, 5 years old wouldn’t ever understand or hear unless her parents, the worst and most embarrassing in the world, would use them in front of them. The girls are in trouble and will be dying to get the hell away from them once they are old enough. They’re such an embarrassment as parents and their sheer stupidity is so sickening. I don’t believe any of them went to college. Especially Teresa when she can’t even speak a word of correct English. She’s a stupid dog.. I can’t stand her . Obviously the people who like her must find her entertaining because they probably act the same way and think it’s normal. It’s not ..she’s a waste of air time. I quit watching when disgusting Daniel was on there and when Teresa started up, I stopped watching it again. She’s a sleezy piece of garbage and so is her disgustingly fat ugly husband. That’s the only reason why they call him juicy, he’s as fat as a 16lb turkey.,. He’s gross and disgusting and it’s obvious their marriage is a sham for the show because of money and because he’ll probably be going to jail no matter how many times they try to blow it off. The more they do that proves to me that he probably will serve time. He committed a Federal offense.How stupid do you have to be? What an asshole. Shit what does it take for these idiots to make them understand they’re not above the law? ugh!!! such disgusting behavior. Teresa’s voice alone sounds like a fingernails being scraped on a chalkboard. She’s got a horrid Jersey accent and she needs to rid that quickly if she ever wants to be treated seroiusly. She’s a 15 minute fame whore and she’ll be forgotten soon. I hear Andy actually hates her. I suppose he didn’t have the pull to get her the hell off the show because there her ugly ass is again. Gross. I definitely won’t be watching. She’s a horrible person and I can’t stand anything about her cheap no good for nothing ass…. so fuck her as far as I’m concerned.
Its sad that it seems many are so down on Caroline now, Caroline was a friend to Teresa , Teresa always came to her w/ her gossip or asking opinions whatever …. now that Caroline has had enough & really has seen Teresa for what she IS , she confronted her on her deeds , Teresa denies everything & Owns NOTHING of what she does or says to anyone , Caroline is a no BS sort of person … whats so wrong in that ?? sometimes a person puts you in a position to have to be in the mode of confrontation ! So Be IT ! Teresa went waaaay over board w/ everyone & caroline will not give in to her Fake IM Sorries that Teresa says & then turns right around & back stabs again , her Sorrys are meaningless ! Seems they all had their fill in one way or another w/ Teresa ! They TRIED to Make mends , and some of them went for it , only to shortly find out Teresa is trouble & untrustworthy ! She was a JOKE on that Reunion Show ! she appeared so rediculous w/ her nastiness & out right being cruel . She hides behind the truths , so she looks innocent , LOL kinda funny for a grown a*^%# woman to act as she did ! The come backs each gave her were RIGHT ON & CLEVER ! Koodoos for the awakening ! I think an issue w/ caroline & her sister Dina has much to do with carolines anger towards Teresa also since Teresa has most likely filled Dina full of BS along the way . Hoped Dina will get enlightened & tell Teresa to take a hike too ! How can anyone NOT see through Teresa & who she is & how she works . OMG !! D U H !!!
I so agree. Teresa has NO social restraints. People are supposed to take her horrible insults
with a smile, because she blogs later that she’s “sorry”. I have never heard any of the other
women say anything close to the trailer trash talk that comes out of T’s mouth, nor have I seen
them have sex in a vineyard or ask their husband something as vile as if he wants to put his
finger up her a– ON CAMERA AND JUST AS NATURALLY AS IF SHE WAS SAYING HELLO!
T fans can have this piece of trash. She is uncivilized, plain and simple, and should not be
“glorified” as a reward for lewd and vicious behavior.
No wonder Caroline has had enough! I would have been done with her and not allowed her
in my presence long ago. How can people wonder why the cast now gives it back to her?
She has “screwed” all of them as soon as they called her out.
THE DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN DINA AND CAROLINE HAS NOTHNG AT ALL TO DO WITH TERESA, IT IS ABOUT BROTHER JAMIE WEDDING THTA DINA WAS GOING TO DO ON HER PARTIES BY DINA TV SHOW, AND CAROLINE GOING BEHIND DINA’S BACK AND TALKING THE PRODUCERS INTO FILMING THE WEDDING FOR THE REAL WIVES SHOW……NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH TERESA….THAT IS WHY DINA DID NOT ATTEND THE WEDDING OF JAMIE, AND DINA AND JAIME AS VERY CLOSE
Well , this just made my night,week.month& year!! ♬♩♪ツツ♪♬♩…. Hope it remains trueツ
This is great news! I just wish Melissa would leave too. But I have no interest in the RH shows anymore, but I’ll watch Teresa’s show.
Just watched the Wendy Williams interview on youtube! Melissa is disgusting! Hope you guys stop watching this Wendy Williams character…. terrible. Why bring up the Giudice children? Honestly won’t be watching next season if Melissa Gorga is still on the programme, the rest of them leaving is a bonus.
Cant stand Wendy. She’s so bias. i dont bother watching. What did she say about the giudice kids? Argh I have not much anger left to watch what Mel said, saving it all for the reunion.
She asked Melissa if she though Teresa used her kids for exposure… as a proper giving Miss the opportunity to have a little dig about them on magazine covers… seriously out of the blue and irrelevant!
I stopped watching Wendy last season because she kept attacking Teresa.
Seems Teresa has made a statement saying that MeGo’s gonna find herself dealing with another lawsuit if she doesn’t stop the lies about Tre! To be more specific, the lie MeGo told about Tre “twisting her arm” at the bday party in January! Even Elvira took to twitter and said MeGo’s claim was false! Tre told Huff Post she will Sue MeGo if she doesn’t knock it off! I found the story on http://www.AllAboutTRH.com
I hope so, it’s slander and defamation.
I never watched her because I thought she was a man. and she is dumb.
Oh, more poor Teresa.
Thank you, Jesus
Alrighty, Melissa…
I’ve heard about this blog forever, however, today (or last nite…i forget) was 1st time reading it. I must say, after reading the Q&A’s here makes everything *click*. I only watched 2 epis this season cuz it’s so hateful, but have read about them on twitter & other blogs.
Now it makes sense why Caroline looked so frumpy all season- she didn’t care about her image, as she was doing it for her kids.
Jaq appears an emotional wreck, cuz she was one! Imagine not wanting to do something to someone you care about (& that producers plant lies in your head about), yet having to choose between doing it or losing your job.
Bravo always seems to pick 1 villain per season & for the past 2 it’s been Teresa-but seems she didn’t give them the reaction they wanted, so they sunk lower & fabricated a story to frame Teresa.
I’m impressed that Danielle refused to appear at the fashion show & now I really wonder what the truth was about her- WHY did Teresa REALLY flip the table? Certainly not cuz she had been engaged umpteen times- what had been planted in her head by Bravo?
These posts make total sense of last year’s RHOBH reunion & attack on Lisa- which also back-fired on rest of the cast, cuz Lisa became even more of a fan favorite.
Obviously, Bravo’s gonna have to do some damage control cuz you know all this will get back to them (if it hasn’t already)…will be interesting to see how they handle this.
If this is true,which i really hope so,then jaq lost her job after all that bs.This article is an eye opener into all the bs with this franchise.
Is this all true?
Glad to hear Caroline isn’t coming back. Hope it’s true.
sack,i never watched wendy,but if she brought up teresa’s kids,then she is as low as you can go.so what if kids make wise cracks,all kids do. we see parts of what bravo wants,so don’t see teresa correcting her.as far as teresa not prouncing words right,who cares, lol. my son at aged 3 said mommy,its froggy out,well for longest time,my ex and i used to laigh and repeat it. one day, i was on the phone and was asked hows the weather vin jersey,without thinking i said its froggy lol my friend said don’t you mean foggy. i love watching the little kids on the show,and listening them talk.
Teresa will be on Wendy Williams Monday October 1st. Let’s hope Teresa is treated with a little more respect than with Anderson Cooper but I don’t hold much hope. Maybe I will leave a comment on WW’s site asking her to afford Teresa the same respect that she, Wendy herself, would expect in return. Mind boggling how humans are soooo judgemental towards one and other – I was raised to believe “There but for the grace of God go I.” I think Anderson Cooper bullied Teresa and I shot him an email sooo fast and will do the same if WW isn’t fair with Teresa.
All those bitches, especially Meilssa are going to go crazy with Tre doing all these interviews. They will be so jealous! Interesting to see what the excuse is that they are not and how its Theresas fault.
what channel and time is he on, i put cnn.wasn’t him lol i can\t stans him, but would watch for teresa
I cannot imagine a story line next year with the Gorgas, and Guidices since they aren’t speaking and Melissa has been so vocal on interviews. I think one of them will be gone. And I hope it is Teresa with her own show. She deserves it.
They will threaten Melissa to make nicey nicey or hit the road.
Best site ever. I am so happy Jacko is not returning!!! What is poor little Melissa gping to do with out them? LOVE TERESA.
I’ve watched the HW shows since day one, only two I now watch is NJ & OC. After the reunion I will only watch OC for now, but will watch Teresa’s spin-off. I WILL NO LONGER WATCH NJ, you can thank Melissa and Joe Gorga for that.
They will be there, especially Melissa, as money hungry and the NEED for fame she has, Im sure they will be there. I only hope that this season Tre gets her turn to hurt them on screen, of course she has class( much more than Caroline and Melissa) so I doubt she will try on purpose to be mean.
Question:
If the Fabellini Party was in Oct. 2011 and Melissa watched the girls for Teresa but PFS was in September and they stopped talking because of that…….. How is that possible? Are my dates wrong?
Melissa Gorga Lied in Her Voice-Over: She Didn’t Babysit for Teresa Giudice on October 7, 2011 So That She Could Go to Her Fabellini Launch Party – The Sweet & Sassy Scene Was Taped on July 11, 2011
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/melissa-gorga-lied-in-her-voice-over-she-didnt-babysit-for-teresa-giudice-so-she-could-go-to-her-fabellini-launch-party-on-october-7-2011-the-sweet-sassy-scene-was-filmed-on-july-11-2011/
Melissa wasn’t babysitting for Teresa on October 7, 2011 so that she could go to her launch party — this voice-over explanation by Melissa is a lie — Melissa took the girls to Sweet & Sassy on July 11, 2011 (look at how they are dressed: that is summer attire and not what you would be wearing in New Jersey in October).
The reason the cast was not at the Fabellini launch party is because they refused to go — it took place after the PFS on September 27, 2011, and after the season 3 reunion was taped on September 28, 2011, and the cast has publicly stated that none of them have really talked to Teresa since then.
The scenes in season 4 episode 18 are out of sequence: some scenes were taped in July 2011 while others were taped in October 2011. Voice-overs and talking head interviews by Melissa and Jacqueline are lies used to conceal this fact.
On the Sweet & Sassy Facebook page, they show a photo with Melissa in the outfit she wore in episode 18 (video) with a caption dated July 11, 2011, the actual day that Melissa brought the girls to the salon, which was early in the taping of season 4. On July 6, 2011, they posted this comment on their Facebook page: “We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming The Real Housewives of New Jersey back to film again very soon! Can’t wait to spread the glitter and glam love with our favorite ladies and their little divas! (Gia’s 9th birthday party was filmed at Sweet & Sassy).
I figured that, it just wasnt adding up and Dina even said that she filmed AFTER the PFS. You would think people would pick up on this crap but they don’t.
Some of the ladies has written new blogs. I just read Teresa.
May I ask where? I am not seeing them. Thank you
Casey, the links are here: http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/season-4/blog%20s/melissa-gorga/family-first
They took them down. Teresa was dated Sept 31. Melissa had one up there also and her subtitle was something like making slow progress. Caroline subtitle was something like I stand by my word. I read Teresa, it was 8 or 9 pages long. I left and went to another site, when I came back they were gone. Kathy also had one up there. I wished I had paid more attention, or added it to favorites so I could have gone back to it.
I hope this is true!
Jacqueline should be fired for drunk tweeting all about the PFS, and just about everything that happened season 4. She should also be fired for blowing off the season3 reunion, no other housewive has ever done that. I do not beleive she had any kind of breakdown, i think she got drunk becuse Teresa called her out about possibly being in on the” set-up” against her( Teresa).
Caroline i did read something about her buying out the rest of her contract.
Kathy I think should be out. I think she has gotten a pretty big head ( along with her husband). I don’t think think they are that great, and certainly not that interesting.
Fame is a funny thing – Melissa and Joey chased in, trampled over his family to obtain it and gave viewers an uninspired auto tuned rockstar and an exhibitionist poor imitation of the godfather for all their efforts ? With the Manzo/Laurita crew gone, they have cookie peddler and her pervy fish mouth husband to share scenes with? Sounds like they will be getting exactly what they deserve and the rest of us will get more interesting people to watch.
^^^ This. Exactly true w/your description of Joey & Melissa. It’s all true, but that was my fav line ; )
I for one will be watching season 5!! I want the ratings to be sky high. I want Bravo to realize we are happy that the 3 wildebeest are gone and I want “T” to get the credit for the ratings and Maybe she will get her own show. If they get poor ratings you know they will blame her and the wildebeests will say “see you should have kept us on” So watch the show!!!
You know what pipsqueak you are sooo RIGHT!! You just changed my mind, not doing this for the GORGA’S (YUCK).. Just for Tre to get the hype. So glad that the Manzo crew and Jac is gone. Don’t have to watch those annoying grown kids, unhappy mother and off balance Jac. So BRAVO have you to thank for not loosing me for Season 5!!!
VERY GOOD POINT
No wonder Caroline said “I’m going to get rid of you once and for all”. She knew she done! Too bad Jac couldn’t see past the bull crap!
I’ve read conflicting information. On more than one gossip site I’ve read something similar to this:
http://rhgossipgal.com/new-details-about-rhonj-season-5-contracts-cast-cameras/
So, don’t get too excited, some of you may be horribly disappointed to see Sourpuss Manzo and Sadface Laurita on season 5 after all. All the reps and insiders are saying something different (go figure).
When the initial offers for season 5 were made, the source says Jacqueline wasn’t given one. Out of the three (Caroline, Jacqueline and Kathy) only Caroline was asked to return and she declined. The source is no longer a post production supervisor for RHONJ so, who knows, maybe Bravo will reconsider and bring back Jacqueline just to stir things up online. I wouldn’t put it past them.
Jacqueline and Chris have both said if asked back , they would use their storyline as a platform for Austim.
Now to me that is strong armming Bravo!!!!!
How would it look if they decided not to have Jacqueline return. Aww poor poor Jacqueline lost her job and she has a special needs child.
I think it’s disgusting that they put that out there for sympathy!!!
JACKO NEED TO STAY HOPE AND DEVOTE ALL HER TIME TO HER CHILD, STOP
DRINKING AND TAKE SOME TYPE OF ANTI DEPRESSANT
Or that’s probably why Jac went public with her son’s autism so that Bravo would be forced to bring her back since she is saying she would use the show to bring awareness to the viewers. And to have her fired would belike Bravo saying they don’t care about serving as a platform to bring awareness to autism.
Yeah. I have a story about it here:
Jacqueline Laurita’s Storyline for Season 5 Would Be Nicholas’ Autism; The Timing of Her Announcement Coincides with Contract Renewals, Season 4′s Explosive Ending and the Upcoming Reunion
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/jacqueline-lauritas-storyline-for-season-5-would-be-nicholas-autism-the-timing-of-her-announcement-coincides-with-contract-renewals-season-4s-explosive-ending-and-the-upcoming-reunion/
Thank you @ Fame!
There you go!!
Yep exactly!! @ nsr0103.
Strong armming Bravo, looking for sympathy.
Exactly what we all expected..
hoolie!!!!
I would be done if Jacqueline comes back and pimps her son’s problems for a storyline. disgusting.
In what universe would RHNJ be a platform for Autism Awareness? Wacky seems to feel that exploitation of her children is a storyline – how sad is that?
I am also done if Jax returns. Mental illness is never pretty to watch.
That site is so derivative and seems very behind on the info. I would doubt that info is good. Just my opinion
Yeah, I’ve considered that. But, like I said, the same story is on sites like Reality Tea which is considered one of the more informed blogs. We won’t know until we know, I guess!
One thing that almost all the blogs seem to agree upon is that at least one new housewife is coming in to be Team Teresa; and since Pete Giudice as well as the Karagiorgis (sp?) were part of the finale, it wouldn’t be surprising if those families begin making regular appearances.
Sadly, I think this franchise is on its last leg regardless of who is or isn’t casted
Reality Tea’s inside sources are Melissa, who is a proven liar with an agenda, and Jacqueline, who is so messed up by Bravo’s antics that she may need therapy.
Agree- since Meho and Kathy joined- it well jumped the shark.. Duh nahh nahh nahh
I wish you could get your hands of the Gorgas audition tape!
Im surprised after all this time that no one has leaked it, i mean someone stole Kanye West’s tape but we cant get a lousy tape from the Gorgas???
LOL.. Man that Mandy sure has some strong connections….
Hahahahaha! Right? I’m thinking maybe Kanye leaked his tapes himself and now is crying wolf just like his gf Kim. She leaked out hers and cried wolf too. I was on Melissa’s twitter and she wants to be like Kim K. She always tweets her but Kim never tweets her back. 2 talentless whores.
The person in the interview said it was out there too…..
If you get a chance, post a comment on Anderson Coopers site today to support Tre. Remind him what NOH8 is! I did and there are only 2 posts for Tre today.
I’ve been eating up all the articles on this website since watching that poorly edited finale and it’s so wonderful to see intelligent, observant articles and comments in response to what Bravo’s done to Teresa this past season. Thank y’all!
Jac should not come back and should be let go because she is CRAZY
And Teresa is sane as a loon. Please get real.
zxtry- I hear your frustration. She didn’t say everyone else is sane. She was just speaking about Jac. Maybe people could hear you better if you just said “I think Teresa is cra cra!” – that way it sounds like you can make your point without referring to another poster. This is not to say in any way that you don’t have a right to write how you feel. Just a suggestion on maybe how to do it differently.
That is a good point, paula2. Teresa is not only cra cra, she is vile, untruthful, mean and
wholly uncaring about others.
Somewhat better.
Teresa is definitely vile and everthing you state. I wish she were off the show because she is whacked out and so full of herself. Please, just once I’d like to see this monster shut her mouth and listen to what others are saying instead of constantly trying justify her bad behavior,
Thank you for your thoughts. I honestly don’t understand the fascination by some people
of the bad character traits in Teresa. Evidently Bravo feels she brings in ratings because
people like to watch really crazy, far out characters. But reality TV is so beyond what is
acceptable now that censors need to step in. Next they will show them having sex. They
have already come pretty darn close with Teresa and Joe.
I’m not a prude but it is really obnoxious to not be able to watch a show without throwing up.
She is beyond indecent. Way beyond.
If viewers like “crazy, far out characters” they would like Jacqueline. Which they do not.
notice you left out richie with his kathy fish line and all the other filthy things he said, poison joe showing off his tiny tarazan, caroline’s two sons and gregg peeking into bath house when mellissa and joe wanted make love and funny its always what teresa does
If you care to read all that I wrote, I said that reality TV has gone way too far and censors
need to step in.
According to this site, Jac will NOT be coming back, nor will Caroline.
I can’t imagine that Caroline would want to return. She doesn’t need the money and can’t like the way she or her children were portrayed.
Jax needs the income. I would think that she would get even more upset if she wasn’t asked back. She comes off as desperate. Very desperate.
And when you’re desperate for money, you will do anything that Bravo asked you to do to remain on the show… just like Tamra Barney and Melissa.
Producer-Driven Scripted Drama and Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives’ Series
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/producer-driven-scripted-drama-and-bravos-real-housewives-series/
So Teresa makes money with a headline that the show has ruined her family but you
don’t count that?
caroline thought she was so popular,that we would stand beside her and get teresa fired. well we aren;t dum, we just don’t like bullies
CarOline made a complete ass out of herself! Funny the more she hated and was jealous of Tre the more her ugly ass true colors came out.. Her true colors remind me of that God awful color your kids make when they miss all the dark finger paints- a mix of poo with dark green boogers! Just saying LMAO
FAME
Do u think they will ever talk about at the reunion what Melissa and Joe did to get on the show? Love to see the audition tapes. I agree with a lot of you that I would live to see Melissa and Joe off the show next season, but if they did return it would be sweet poetic justice to expose their manipulative ass LMAO! Wouldn’t that be great a whole season of trashin Melissa and nobody would have to make crap up!!
Melissa has no problem lying. She is desperate for money and fame, so she does exactly what Bravo wants her to do (and she thinks she is an actress playing a role, a character defined by Bravo — she has lost touch with reality)… and this is why Bravo loves her. But will that stop Bravo from stirring up drama for her? I highly doubt it!
Will Bravo leak the audition tape and expose Melissa? Probably. But they may be saving all of this for a big season finale… maybe season 5?
I do not have insider info on any of this. This is just me speculating…
Oops don’t know why I showed up anonymous LoL!
Thanks for answering Fame and love your website! And love the more frequent articles, check it out daily now! Great job! Thanx for answering my question and I hope that they do reveal it in season 5, that makes it worth her not being kicked off just yet– can’t wait for E Day! Complete Exposure Day! Gonna be sweet! And would be ratings gold when they leak that tape! Hopefully you will get some “insider” info soon!!! Again, great job on the site!!!
I read somewhere – and I can’t for the life of me remember! – Bravo is bringing in a woman who is a stylist and is friendly with Kathy and Teresa, I think, and who has already had a falling out with Melissa. I don’t know if this is true but it may be Bravo’s way of evening things up with the Tre v. MeGo storyline. It will be interesting to see how that plays out – hopefully, it will lead, finally, to Melissa’s true self being exposed.
As for the headline of this blog, all I can say is I really hope that it is true!!!! As someone else said, “From your lips, to God’s ears!!!!!” Caroline’s book is out Spring 2013 and by then, will be totally irrelevant (P.S> She says in THE DISH on Bravo’s site, that there will not be anything directly about Teresa in her book); Jacko absolutely, IMO, should be concentrating SOLEY on her son’s well-being and not exploiting him by filming; and Kathy, well, let’s just say her cannoli kit is due out mid to late December on QVC (I’m gonna jump all over that – not!) and leave it at that!!! These three women can all go back to where they belong.
Fame – thanks so much for all the work you do. We, the fans of RHONJ, are grateful there is someplace to go to that is fair, and reports the positive as well as the negative. I, for one, after having read through some – there’s ALOT for me to catch up having only found this site very recently – of what you have reported, respect your honesty. I realize your motive is to out Melissa but you have no problem retracting or reporting information that does not help – that is the epitome of being TRUTHFUL and it is greatly appreciated.
I do not think Jacqueline should come back. I think her family needs her right now. BUT if she does come back i would hope it would be in a positive way to shine light on Autism. See there are really issues here, people are at war, kids are sick, we have a presidential election coming up. As much as i love the funny things they say and do sometimes i wish these housewives would shed light on IMPORTANT issues. Guess what my sis in law doesnt like me but im going to keep on doing what im doing. life goes on.
J.Paz – I agree that the Autistic community can be well served by Jacqueline supporting them which, in fairness, she has by holding fundraisers, making appearances and speaking as well. However, I believe that that is where it should stay and absolutley NOT in front of the cameras. She is a mother first – her duty is to protect and guide Nicholas through his journey. Has the question of how he will feel when he is an adult to learn that he was filmed been asked? Maybe he won’t care but maybe he will and that alone should be enough for Jacqueline not to film a storyline about him. It would show respect for her child’s privacy. She has said she would be willing to film him – I find this disturbing. If I was in her shoes, there is NO WAY I would do that. An autistic child needs so much attention – so much structure – how is she going to pull that off successfully with cameras in her face all the time. One more thing – the fact that she pulled the “my son who has autism” card when replying to something in the preview for the Reunion was not only disturbing, it was disgusting.
OMG yes…. She said i swear on my autistic son! I felt like that was just WRONG. I think Caro told her not to do that. I get it…. you were trying to make a point but lady that was the lowest of blows. Also, I think Anderson Cooper made valid points but should have made them to all the ladies. Not just Teresa. Because in all fairness when you are fighting with women who are acting like they are 12 sometimes you do just give in and act 12 yourself.
All the ladies swear on their children, but when Jacqueline said I swear on my son who is Autistic, that was wrong!! What that suppose to make her point stronger/ more beleivable? Did she do that for sympathy in my opinion, yes, 100%
Jacqueline better watch herself if she wants to be taken seriously as a spokesperson for Autism.. Drunk twitter rants, acting the fool , spreading gossip./nasty rumors..Hmmm.
Straighten you’re act out Jacqueline , clean up your image!!
Yeah that was just wrong. I think she should take some time off and focus on being a mother to a special needs child. He is a toddler. Toni Braxton’s son has autism but he is at an age where he can decide if he wants to be filmed and when he is filmed it shows how far he has come.
I agree, she needs to get her prorities straight. Focus on her son(s) her daughter, and work on herself. She is messed up!!
It seemed durring that time when she was trying to conceive that she was drinking alot. They really need to shed light on it if that was a factor. I know a mans’ age plays a huge role because of my studies in Early Childhood Education. I also know that the first few days and weeks are vital for key developments (when women don’t even know they are pregnant) I just would like to know because my husband is older (around 40) and we would like to have a baby. I wish there was more honesty. Was drinking a factor? Could it have been?
I totally agree.
Here’s the video of Teresa’s 2nd appearance today on Anderson Cooper:
https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=356488611102263 …
hope I copied the link correctly. Anderson was much more polite…guess he got an earful from Teresa’s fans..lol
Thanks for Sharing!! Just got home from classes and have been scouring to see what happened today- Talk about night and day difference in his tone and approach. I’m glad she was given a fair opportunity and spoken to more respectfully. I also noticed the majority of the twitter comments that were coming up on the screen were positive toward Teresa.
@ Hi hoolie
She got teary eyed speaking about her brother.. I don’t think she will ever get over what he said to her at the christenning, let alone what he pulled on her the beginning of the season. Plus him beleiving that she in anyway had anything to do what happened at the finale.
Also I don’t think she will ever get over Melissa contacting Danielle.
I really do not think people realize how crushed/ hurt she is.
I know I would ever forget my brother calling me a piece of garbage, or saying “You’re dead to me.”! So incredibly sad! Teresa will most likely forgive him, but for sure she’ll never forget.
Thank you for sharing that! Was that a big slice of humble pie?????? Good for him!
The picture above with Carolines hand on Teresa… Does anyone know what thats about???
I haven’t seen any preview that explains it, but I heard that the reason Melissa is suddenly claiming that Teresa grabbed and twisted her arm last January at Gia’s birthday party (she made plenty of claims about the party right afterward — hiding behind the title of ‘secret source’ — but never anything about Teresa grabbing her) is because Melissa did something like that to Teresa at the reunion. So Melissa is going to use that as justification for grabbing Teresa (on the wrist?) at the reunion. That’s the rumor I’m hearing on the blogs.
My point is: Teresa is shown sitting on the other couch with Caroline, but before that had been sitting beside Melissa, so she must have moved for a reason; and that reason could be that Melissa grabbed her and so Teresa no longer wanted to sit next to her.
Here’s the birthday party story from earlier in the year:
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/oe-gorga-attended-dwts-maksims-birthday-party-but-not-gias/
Here’s Melissa telling the lie that Teresa ‘roughed her up’ at the party (scroll to the end of the article):
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/melissa-gorgas-best-quotes/
Also, here’s Teresa’s serious & awesome response to the “roughing up” accusations… I wonder if this lawsuit could actually go somewhere…
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/27/teresa-giudice-real-housewives-of-new-jersey_n_1918894.html
It looks like her and Caroline are having a moment… i think she tells teresa… Thats what hurt me? Im not sure… Plus, Melissa said that the kids were at the party then she said she went solo. I am so confused.
I just found this story at AllaboutTRH, which confirms what I thought happened at the reunion based on rumors circulating on the blogs:
Recently, Melissa Gorga went on the Wendy Williams and randomly revealed 9 months after the incident that Teresa grabbed her wrist when she was holding baby Joey! I found it quite odd that Melissa would bring this up 9 months later and now I know why!
An insider close to the situation tells AllAboutTRH EXCLUSIVELY why Melissa brought that up on the Wendy Williams show!
“At the reunion taping, Melissa Gorga went as far as to putting her hands on her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice! Teresa freaked out when Melissa laid her hands on her and told her to get off threatening to sue her if she touches her again! Melissa stopped after seeing Teresa react that way and later went on the Wendy Williams show and made it like Teresa grabbed her wrist back in January only because she knew she would receive backlash for touching Teresa at the reunion.”
My insider goes on to say,
“If Teresa really laid her hands on Melissa back in January, don’t you think Melissa would have gone to reporters right away? Why would she wait 9 months later to say it? The report of Teresa grabbing Melissa while holding baby Joey is completely false and their were several witnesses at the birthday that will agree with that statement!”
My insider continues,
“Teresa doesn’t plan on suing Melissa and would never do that. She said it out of frustration and shock that Melissa would touch her.”
http://www.allabouttrh.com/allabouttrh-exclusive-melissa-tells-wendy-williams-teresa-attacked-her-only-because-she-puts-her-hands-on-t-at-the-reunion/
AllAboutTRH published an exclusive interview with someone who was present at the reunion. In the piece, the source (it seems obvious to me that Kim D was the source) reveals something that could explain why Rosie is off camera yelling about cutting someone’s f–ing tongue out while Caroline is simultaneously comforting Teresa. Here’s the quote:
My insider tells me that Kathy and Teresa get into it! “Kathy says something about Teresa’s mother that really ticks Teresa off. Teresa freaks out and is shocked that Kathy could talk about her mother considering the two are family. That was Teresa’s boiling point. Caroline was actually seen comforting Teresa for being so upset but after the two get ugly with each other.”
http://www.allabouttrh.com/allabouttrh-exclusive-details-on-what-went-on-at-the-season-4-rhonj-reunion/
Whatever all of them are in it for the money.. so keep watching and keep hating on them they are still making money.
Oh, how I’m laughing that Caroline wanted to establish her adult children in careers before exiting the series! Schilling Black Water, Brown Sauce and applying Calf Faces? Priceless! (Please tell me that there’s no chance of renegotiation?) Jacquelyn quite simply is a hosebeast and should only appear on Dr. Drew @ this point. I would like to see evidence confirming the diagnosis of autism due to the suspicious timeline of delayed diagnosis due to health insurance, (during which time this MOTHER underwent cosmetic surgery(s)!) and the fantastical claims of BLK Water containing properties that improve autistic behaviors. *whispering SHAME ON YOU as I type*
” I would like to see evidence confirming the diagnosis of autism due to the suspicious timeline of delayed diagnosis due to health insurance, (during which time this MOTHER underwent cosmetic surgery(s)!) and the fantastical claims of BLK Water containing properties that improve autistic behaviors. *whispering SHAME ON YOU as I type*”
I totally agree. My son was diagnosed with mild to moderate autism at 21 months old this summer through Early Intervention (which is provided to every family by law for free if your child qualifies), and started receiving ABA and speech therapy two weeks later (again, for free). Not once did they ask to see my income, and I did not have to have my health insurance company provide it. He gets 12 hours of week of therapy in my home, he qualifies for even more but we don’t want to overload him since he is not even two yet.
Every single thing I have read about autism states that early intervention is key, and the earlier the better. My son has made GREAT progress in less than two months. I am happy that I got him evaluated when I did, he has a long road ahead, but he is doing amazing.
I can’t understand why Jacqueline waited SO LONG to get her son help! It is provided by the state, and I know NJ has great services that would have been provided regardless of her income. If she had money to spend on cosmetic surgery, then she would have had money for therapy for her son.
Also, the last thing Nicholas needs is to be filmed with strangers in his face and in the house. Children with autism need routine and structure. I can’t see how she wouldn’t understand that!
Please tell me that if Caroline is leaving she will be herding up her pack of ill mannered and spoile children (+ roomates, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc) and taking them with her!

OMG are you telling me the Gorga’s flat out made fools of themselves for that little? LOL
i just copied and pasted this from another site
Teresa needs to have a chat with Nene – she is grossly underpaid for what she’s been put thru
If you check my i.p address you will see I live on Stokes Farm Rd which Jacqueline Lauritas street runs off, All your information is correct, locals knew because we have all been talking about the news of her son and some were questioning the timing also,I told my partner that I thought she would try and sell her story to a magazine as to why she couldn’t return to real housewives because of her son ,so the fact is has been leaked doesn’t fit in with her upcoming story of putting her child first. Anyway look at Randy Jackson on Idol, he was not coming back but fans took to twitter and he returned. I think Jacqueline is
Something I dont get….if Jac was so upset the day of the season three reunion, and the producers felt they couldnt trust her to be there, what was she so legitimately angry about? She knew the PFS was a big set up on Teresa…so what was she threatening to expose? Was she going to expose that it was all fake? How could she be so righteously indignant when she knew it was a set up? That part doesnt make sense to me. If you said Jac actually thought that Teresa set up Melissa, maybe then I could understand why the cant-never-mind-her-own-beeswax Jac would be so upset….but why if she knew it was a set up would she be so angry?
she was angry because Teresa said ON CAMERA ” Maybe you had something to do with it” She had sat there at the fashion show and had not said anything to Teresa because off camera they were fueding, but Jacqueline just sat there, it was then Teresa dragged her into it, AND B*TCH BLEW sorry for my language but I think its appropriate
“not said anything”??!??? Really? You say Jac just sat there. Ok.
Did you just say “Teresa dragged her into it”? Right because Jac had nothing to do with it. And she didnt go around and tell a bunch of half truths to make T seem guilty.
@ Dp
I’m sorry I totally disagree. Teresa confroted Jacqueline because she was the one that said Teresa set her up!
Jacqueline twisted what Teresa said to her! Teresa was saying that maybe Jacqueline had something to do with setting her up( Teresa) to make it look like she set up Melissa.. Especially because she would not tell her who sent the texts, etc.
Jacqueline twisted it saying that Teresa said the maybe Jacqueline was in on the set up for Melissa.
Sorry Jacqueline was getting texted the whole time, and repeated this to Melissa, etc. saying Teresa set her up. Jacqueline dragged herself into the whole mess!!! She is the first one that put out there about any kind of set up, then they all went off of what she said. Jacqueline has not said who texted her only ” mutual friend of hers and Teresa. Also she told Joey at the car she would send him the texts, now why did she show him right then and there, why didn’t she show Melissa before then?
* opps meant to say.. Teresa confronted Jacqueline because Jacqueline was saying Teresa set up Melissa.
Well there are too many excuses out there why Jac wasn’t at the reunion. From being sick, to emotionally fragile, to doing shots with Kim G and to Bravo not wanting her there because of her tendency to talk out of school and spill plotlines. At the end of my day – Jac is a disgusting piece of cowardly scum and was afraid that Teresa was going to nail her to the couch by spilling all her dirty little secrets…..
And WHY wouldnt they just let her come to the reunion, then edit out the bullsh!t she screams….this just doesnt jive with me…this part, anyway. Oh wait…I forgot….Bravo doesnt know how to edit. ……?
She was neither she was sooooo hung over she couldn’t go.
I remember about six to eight weeks ago ppl on Twitter noticing that Jac & Carolyn had removed their “RHONJ Housewife” signature in their profiles. Don’t know if that’s still true or not. To be honest, I barely look at what they write, never have been all that interested in them. I want to talk ABOUT THEM, not too them. LOL.
I’d be fine if they didn’t return to RHONJ. Caro has been a bitter pill for 2 seasons, & I think Jac has some issues that are better resolved NOT in the public eye.
Congrats Fame…you are making it happen!
I really hope this is true that they are not coming back
Dreams do come true please this show has taken such a dark turn. There are a lot of crazy fans out there. I am still worried someone is going to be threatened or hurt. Bravo is an evil network.
that article isn’t true. It’s bravo rep was a quote from twitter
every time you post something ,i get email from you
I think all you need to do is click the ‘follow’ button at the top of the page to ‘unfollow’ me. That should stop the e-mails. I update the articles frequently, so you might not want to follow me since it must be creating an e-mail each time I update.
fame that answer was not meant for you,its for xztry tired of her smart answers lol another question, they are going to show scene where teresa, gets on her knees says thank you jesus, sounds like the truth might be coming out
i watched the rerun last night of sundays reuion show, they showed clips of what to expect for next two. one was teresa on her knees over the coffee table,saying thank you jesus, another showed wacko jacko yelling at joe,saying something about lady on his desk, and he said do you really want to go there to jackie
Evidently “Fame” is having the same problem. She says to click the ‘follow’ button at top of
page to unfollow. I have no idea as I don’t check either of the boxes to notify of f/u comments or new posts.
i like fames answers to me, so fame this is for you. when they showed wacko jacko saying that juicy joe had lady over his desk, he said something like do you want to go there to jacko. do you have any idea what he meant,seems like he knows more than he says
I think what you will find is negotiations would have changed when they hit 3.5 million for the finale, i know if i was working on that team i would reconsider getting rid of people if they are getting those kind of ratings, randy jackson people, he is only back on idol after the fans kicked up a stink, if jacquelines let go her fans will kick up a stink, do you think after their financial worries she isn’t going to do everything to keep her quarter of a million dollar paycheck??
Yes, it is obvious she will do anything from what I am reading.
Doesn’t make any sense, if Caroline, Jacqueline and Kathy considered they would lose all the income coming in from the show, why would they jump ship and join the campaign to destroy Teresa? Were they really into themselves so much, that they figured they could do anything and get away with it? I didn’t see any changes in Teresa, except for having to be on the defensive at every turn, that would bring some edge into anyone! Kathy really got cocky and confident…not smart enough to realize that playing dirty would have consequences…one thing for sure, all this sleezy sh** is coming out and it’s because of Melissa/Kathy joining the show..they have forced the skeletons of the Guidices and Gorgas, all the ugly hate, lies, etc. that has/is going on…Teresa may be wrong in a lot of areas…but she was against them joining the show…and I/We can at least agree that she was right!!! It has been horrific watching brother/sister, their spouses, their children, their parents unfold in front of our eyes. Nothing moral about it from any of them. I see Teresa as really loving her brother and family in general. Anyone with any common sense would know that putting the whole family on, under these shady conditions, was a recipe for disaster. The Gorgas/Wakiles did not come on to find any family unities..they are greedy, money/fame whores…Teresa has worked hard, around the clock, promoting herself in any direction she could, for the sole purpose of her family. She lived/survived all the bad press about Joe’s legal issues, money problems, bankruptcy, etc. She could’ve crumbled 4 yrs ago, her whole life as she knew it, outrageous as it was, was unfolding in front of her. She never played the victim, poor me, EVER! She rose to the challenge taking every opportunity she could to bring home the bacon!! She has held her family together, and has stood behind her husband, who definitely has questionable behavior at times! She didn’t do it by riding off of anyone’s skirt except what she alone could do…in return, her brother and cousin, took this as an entitlement due them. A big deal was made about Melissa’s singing…she used whatever she could to try and outshine the real opportunity given to her…if her family is suffering, she needed to follow Teresa’s example and get out there and fight, fight, fight….no, instead she turned the tables. It’s one big party for her, singing in night clubs, basking in the victim of Teresa Guidice. Kathy, an average Italian cook…average! I learned from to cook Italian, and I wasn’t born Italian. I was thrown in the kitchen of a restaurant my husband owned. I would learn from the authentic women of the old Country…and I did it filled with family heart. Kathy has tried to use whatever tools she has, as a weapon as another one of Teresa’s victims. And then Caroline, totally out of character, decided she would throw her status and position, one of great respect until now, down the toilet. Instead of offering those family skills portrayed in previous shows, towards Teresa and that family, she chose to declare her full support to these two families (Gorgas/Wakiles), demanding accountability from Teresa, for suggesting anything other than how wonderful, Kathy/Melissa are. It became Caroline’s mission to show the viewers, the whole world, how wrong these people have been treated. So, as things unfold, we saw the most degrading, insulting, mean, corrupt, tensing, the most heartbreaking show ever. If Melissa/Kathy had any other intentions when joining the show, I didn’t see it. All I saw was the demise of this family, to a point, of no going back. Betrayal, with more betrayal. Not only in the families, but to the viewers as well. If I were Teresa and Joe’s parents, my heart would be broken in pieces. Teresa wouldn’t rob her brother of a means to make money for his family, or celebrity…but think about it, how has Melissa and Kathy used that celebrity? They found it and used it, to destroy Teresa. It didn’t work. So lets play fair here people…apples and oranges!! Destroying Teresa didn’t work, Melissa is a local celebrity for her singing, and Kathy taught us how to make Canoli’s. Now they have to save face, Teresa is the bad guy, they are the pathetic victims, and that is how it will end. No one, can take away what Teresa has accomplished for her family by her celebrity. And all the lies and garbage out there, we can all believe, that there was truth behind her objection to having her family join the show! We can nit pic at the flaws, lies, characters, etc. Bottom line, it was a big, huge mistake, for the respect of this family, to have these two families join the show. The show will fade one day, Caroline, the Manzos, Jac/Lauritas will go on with their own families. Teresa, Melissa, Kathy, Joe G., Richie, Juicy Joe, will be left as a family, to witness their failures, jealousy, greed, hate,
disgust forever. It’s here in color for generation to come!!! I feel sad and it’s pitiful. Team Teresa for whatever your reason may be!!
Nice blog. But just another person thinking everyone did Teresa wrong and she is a victim
somebody better tell kathy, that once she’s gone from show, we won’t think of buying her frozen binkiiv cakes, once they are frozen,we’ll get all the junk added to keep it fresh. i’d rather go to good bakery and go crazy in there lol
I was unable to reply to all your comments (and approve those waiting moderation) for about 7 hours, but I did get to most of them that required a response from me. So please look up thread for my answers and responses.
Love this site! Just my opinion, but I think Jac believed her producer, Cat (who was texting her during the PFS.) She wanted to believe Cat so Caroline’s point of view made sense. She outed Teresa when she showed Melissa and Joe the texts and I believe she felt a mixture of emotions including guilt for what she did. Then, in order to convince herself that she had done the right thing, she needed to believe Teresa was in on the” set up.” Otherwise she would have to believe that she had done a horrible thing and destroyed Teresa and Joe Gorga’s relationship. Notice in the reunion clip where Jac is so emotional yelling at Teresa that she did not destroy Tre’s relationship with her brother. It’s like she is trying to convince herself, because deep down I think it kills her to think otherwise. She continues to text and twitter Teresa…again trying to convince herself that she is right. She texts Teresa hoping she responds negatively to justify what she did. She is searching for credibility for her own well being. Unfortunately she is wrong. She did destroy her friends relationship with her brother. She was wrong that Teresa was part of the “set up.” She just can’t believe it because to do so would mean she would have to look in the mirror…and she wouldn’t like what she saw.
Meri, I think you may have figured it out. This makes sense to me.
Meri you said exactly what I’ve been thinking, Jac actually believes the bogus info the producer(s) have been feeding her regarding Tre. Knowing what we all know now, you’d think she would be smart enough to know when she’s being manipulated by the producers to create drama in her storyline.
I want them all back. Even Danielle. Actually, I miss Danielle. I dont like a lot of changes once I get used to people.
knock….knock….who’s there: Is it true that we have worked this publicity machine to such fever pitch, that Bravo will have its highest rated show ever (Reunion “3 -part special”-three more weeks to make millions, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)? Yes, it is true. It is working! On the final Part of the Reunion, what kind of numbers will we have worked up to…..and right before the final part, remember to leak those last few details……..(even though, there is not really much there). Its working; its working….keep leaking little here and there, keep the girls fighting and releasing stories, let our “friends” from the network assist us (for of course they profit from this machine, and oh, I forgot, we OWN the machine) and guess what: we all get raises, and our shareholders-happy!!!! Andy, and every one above and in between…..Do you know how many new advertisers we have signed on for this stunt??? keep them coming….keep writing America,keep speculating, keep talking…….
Just to throw the name of the little titans involved in this machine: NBCUniversal, GE and Comcast….
….”Comcast acquired a majority stake in media conglomerate NBCUniversal in January 2011….”….look these little companies up if you still don’t believe in the “business” part of this “show”……hired help making money, that’s all (do you think they would leave anything to these women’s intellect???-have you heard an actor try to speak without a script? ex-servers/waiters with an opinion???? come on…. dress them up, shine them up, and YOU buy it)….its fun though, right?

….some excerpts …December 14, 2011 – Delivering its sixth consecutive record-breaking year, Bravo Media earned its best year ever across all key demos in primetime and total day, digital platforms and financial metrics, according to Nielsen. The network also maintained the No. 1 ranking for most engaged, educated and affluent viewers 18-49.”
“In 2011, Bravo added over 125 new advertisers delivering more than 20 percent growth in national ad revenue versus the previous year, as well as the highest brand recall on cable for its advertisers across traditional commercials, custom vignettes and product integrations.”
and finally….The buzzy “Real Housewives” franchise continues to shatter records……
and who still doesn’t believe that the production and only the production sets everything up?
I’ll leave the rest to “fame”……..
have to go back to my life now…….
and as you can see from the most engaged, educated and affluent viewers: THERESA FANS ARE NOT STUPID! They just appreciate a “star”.
well good for them… at what cost to Teresa?… Since the laught and ratings had alot to do with Teresa ,she should be getting a hell of a bonus since this show was at her and her family cost.
I hope this is true and Jacqueline, Kathy and Caroline will not be back for season 5 and I hope it’s wrong about Melissa Marco and she is not back for season 5 all 4 of these women give this show a bad name and put this franchise in a bad light!! I love love love the ideal for a spin off show for Teresa I hope this is very true Teresa deserves it after the 2 seasons she’s been thur with her brother shame shame shame Joe Marco for treating your sister like you did from the very 1st episode your disgusting!! When your wife moves on to bigger and better fish with more money and power and leaves your sorry behind I wonder who you will go running to? hmmm your sister of course! Do I think Teresa will turn her back on you like she has every right too? No I do not cause Teresa has a heart and morals and loves her family and that my friend is the differnce between Joe and Teresa and Melissa Marco could’nt even hold a candle to Teresa Guidice cause Teresa a real woman not a fake and phoney one like Melissa Marco!!!
I do not like Jacqueline, but I think Teresa can handle her. Bravo is making a terrible mistake if they do not replace Kathy and Melissa. They Need To Go! Melissa brings nothing to the show and personally, I think she and her husband are sexually perverted around their children. That’s Obvious! I would like to see Melissa replaced with Danielle, and Kathy replaced with Kim D.
Bravo will lose viewers if Melissa returns. NOBODY LIKES MELISSA! Melissa is trash!
No doubt, if Bravo replaced Melissa with Danielle, the ratings would be HIGHER then they thought would ever get! Love Danielle or hate her, she would be ratings Platinum!
Viewers do not like Melissa and want her off the show. Andy Cohen is well aware of this but he thinks pitting family members is fun. NOT!
I’m confused. Many viewers said they will not watch season five if Melissa returns. Now suddenly everyone seems content if Jacqueline is fired. As if they will watch season 5. I don’t understand? Melissa is the one who needs to go and you bet I will not watch season 5 if Melissa returns. Andy Cohen is gay. He doesn’t understand the importance of a Mother, Father, Son, Daughter family dynamic. He doesn’t know what it’s like for a parent to have their only two children split apart. He doesn’t understand because he will never marry a woman and have children. He will never see a wife and mother of his children suffer for the painful destruction of her children. He is EVIL!
wow Melissa fans in disguise…..what an ignorant comment that has no basis in reality or fact……..
Listen… i think its fine if people want to come on this site and talk trash about HW because they put THEIR business out there for everyone to see… But your hateful comments about Andy being gay is just ignorant. Last time i checked he came from a mother and father. He can have a family if he wanted to. You don’t have to be married to see these things. You dont have to be straight to see these things. His personal life vs. his career life are two different things, Lets not hit below the belt here. Im sure this site was not made for ignorant comments of such.
@ Rosalie Marie
OH no you didn’t!! I’m sorry, your comments are very offensive.
Shame on you
Reply to rosalia….for some reason this comes up as reply to holy cannoli….rosalia, offensive comments aside, you are right about the Jac/Mel thing. I am not content to see just Jac go…and she IS gone. Melissa is the source of all the trouble. She sees herself as an actress and doesnt care about what all this does to her husbands parents. She thinks she is justified because they have never accepted her in the family. Melissa has used Jac to do her dirty work and Jac is always stupid enough to jump on anyones bandwagon. I would not like to see mel back but we had better get used to it…her and T will be battling it out this coming season. People will tune in to see mel get what she deserves. Bravo, you had better be planning on vindicating Teresa and bringing mels lies to light…and you had better not wait until the season five finale or reunion to do it. People might watch one ot two episodes just to get a feel for the direction the show is going….but they will stop if they think for one minute you are prepping to throw Teresa under another bus. You had best make it clear from the start that mel is your new target. And please stop with the singing career thing…nobody wants to see that. It is boring.
EXCUSE YOU!!!!!! Having members of my family who are gay and being involved with The Trevor Project (look it up!), I take great offense to your comments. The pain, the bullies, the torture that gay people go through – and if I could tell you how many times I have heard “Do you really think I would have chosen this??” and how many kids are suicidal because of feeling alone????? Work with these beautiful children for just one week and, if you have one compassionate bone in your body, you will see the real pain they go through! Get enlightened.
You do not live Andy Cohen’s life – his personal life is his own – comment on what he does professionally but leave his personal life out of it. I cannot stand him, but you have no right – absolutely NO RIGHT – to make these kind of statements. How bigoted and hateful.
Thank you for your reply Jeannie5233. I debated whether or not to comment on that post or even request that it be taken down. However, we have a long way to go as human beings and Rosalie’s post only show it.
You are welcome. I couldn’t stay quiet! All of us, no matter who we are, have the right to expect empathy and compassion from one and other. Bullying is bullying. We all just witnessed Teresa being bullied for the last two years by more thant 25 or so horrible neanderthals. We should feel free to voice our opinions. However, it does not give us the right to be vile, disrespectful, and insulting.
On other sites, people are upset because Teresa says Caroline has three “blubbers”, lashing out after Caroline. once again, insults and degrades her. So then Lauren tells her that it is people like her that cause overweight people to contemplate suicide. Please! While that may be true to a small extent, ( I agree no one should be made fun of for physical appearance ever!), let me tell you, the LGBT community goes through FAR WORSE harassment and the rate of suicide is astronomical compared to overweight people. Sorry if I am coming on strong with this, but I am passionate about the plight of ANYONE who is treated in such a way. Thank you for letting me vent.
Thanks again. I guess by letting people speak their minds, no matter how cruel, may, in some way, albeit twisted, help bring the cause further. I’m in my mid 50′s and I can tell you that things that were acceptable 40 years ago are no longer acceptable. Some people are insensitive due to ignorance and not necessarily because they are mean. So let the conversation continue.
You don’t know that bullying a fat person is less damaging to one’s psyche than bullying a gay person. What a ridiculous conversation. Bullying is bullying and it is wrong and Bravo needs to look in the mirror and see their hypocrisy as if bullying the hell out of Teresa Guidice is o.k. My brother was bullied horribly for being overweight throughout his childhood and he is a broken man. Let’s not go with the my pain is greater than your pain baloney. The fact is Andy’s concerns about bullying are not across the board.
Hi Gessie – you are absolutely – bullying is bullying and it is wrong to do it to anyone. I work with children who are bullied and have been trained extensively in that area. I will say, respectfully to you though, that I do have access to statistics on teen suicide and I stand behind what I said about the rate being much higher for gay teens than any other group. I also said in my statement that no one should be criticized for their physical appearance. It is an awful thing to be bullied for ANY REASON and anyone’s pain is tragic. I am very sorry about your brother. I truly, from my heart, hope he will eventually be able to become whole.
Gessie – one more thing if I may, for your brother:
“It is often the kindness of one person that makes the difference tor the bullied. Kindness and compassion are STRENGTH – THE REAL performance making “drug” for the soul. . . .Anonymous
My hope is that he finds his STRENGTH and I will pray for that.
Thats a very small minded comment! Gay or straight has nothing to do with parenting!! One’s sexuality does not define them. It’s a persons character, morals and values that count!! Nothing more, nothing less. Andy Cohen might not have children of his own however, he’s somebodies son, grandson, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend!! Just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you’re without feelings or compassion let alone an understanding of the human relationship.
He might not have children now but, who knows what his future holds. Being a parent in today’s world doesn’t necessarily mean man/ woman. Rosalie, you are clearly speaking out of frustration and that’s okay however, this is not in any way a gay issue. You need to rethink your views. I’m hoping in your frustration, you spoke to quickly and didnt really mean it the way it came out.
I’m working on a theory that Missy flips her hair every time she lies… like a nervous tick.
Melissa is a snake. I hope she wil go down in season 5
Well, her pipe dreams of becoming a pop sensation seem to be dashed. They claim that they chose not to get picked up by a major label and prefer to do this themselves. Uh Huh.
I think season 5 will be Gorgas Vs. Guidice. They will bring new people on that are Team Teresa and have Team Melissa… I also think that since the first two seasons Danielle was the villain and then season 3&4 Teresa was the villain i think the tables will turn on Melissa. Its what people want and Bravo will deliver it to the people. Its very clear that Bravo will have to deliver HUGE ratings after an epic season 4.
Sadly, Melissa isn’t strong enough to carry the villainess role – not for a whole season, not for a few episodes – she doesn’t even carry the victim role well. She doesn’t have what it takes nor the fan base to keep her on the show. Teresa is finished with her so she don’t have any play. Bravo took a gamble and it didn’t pay off – Melissa needs to go away.
Sorry i guess villain wasnt the right word. I mean i think she will be “exposed” i think that it will come out that Teresa had nothing to do with strippergate and that Melissa’s past was not so innocent. I think everyone will have their Aha moment with her this season.
I have a love-hate attitude for Bravo. Love the h’wife shows, hate that I’m sucked in = drive ratings up = make them millions = enabling the dumbing-down of women & portraying women as ninnies. (Not to mention how they especially value the women who look like drag-queens.) The dumbazzes at PoP post nonsense showing their ritzy lifestyles flying all over the world in private jets, hanging out at the most posh hotels, living it up–and they’re youngish no-talent thirtysomethings who certainly don’t value women, all possible b/c they pandering to the pop-culture (but they are *creating* it also). Love/hate.
/rant
Autumn, I couldn’t have said it any better myself. As as “older” educated and professional woman with a grown family, I watch (watched) the HW’s shows as a guilty pleasure. In the beginning it was something to watch that didn’t require much brain power. Now, however, I’m in disbelief that there is millions being made that showcases women knocking each other down. There is absolutely no respect for women making it on their own, assisting their families whether financially or emotional and also mocking the struggles of stay at home moms.
Love, Love, Love how people are starting to refer to Melissa as Melissa Marco like Teresa called her. I say we keep it up – anytime any one of us makes a comment on this blog or any other site, refer to her as Melissa Marco!!! She doesn’t deserve to be referred to as a Gorga after what she has done to Teresa’s parents. I think I’ll start calling Joe G. Joe Marco as well – afterall; according to Melissa, her sisters treat him better – blah, blah, blah!
but jac always needs someone to blame her unhappiness on, every season there is someone even her own daughter. i hope they don’t let her use her son that way.
Did anyone else notice that FAME posted this article http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/category/dancer-at-lookers-gold-digger-and-cheater/
Well in the last episode i SWEAR the blonde girl in the photo with the bikini on was talking to Pete GUidice and teresa telling them she used to work with Melissa. Anyone knwo what i am talking about???
If Teresa and Melissa are both back I will not be able to watch another season. Even if its just Teresa. I don’t want to watch this broken record drama unfold for another year. Why doesn’t Bravo have a cast off show of all the old housewives and throw in some Vicki, Tamara and Ramona with Teresa….that I would watch!!!!
HOLY SMOKES! Teresa released some of Jac’s texts, full screenshots. I fully believe Jac needs mental help, OMG!!
Teresa Giudice @Teresa_Giudice
Can’t believe Jac put out some of our texts & now *that’s* a news story… ugh… Here’s my wish along w/ full texts: http://www.teresagiudice.com/
http://www.teresagiudice.com/home/2012/9/28/texts-love.html
My God! Don’t even know what to say, this has gone beyond any marketing war. This is sick. I hope that someone reaches out to her immediately and gets her (Jacqueline) off twitter before she self destructs.
Wow……..Jac needs help.
Time for a restraining order against Jacqueline. Remember in Season 2 when she told her daughter to stop communicating with Danielle and too ignore her. She should practice what she preaches. No wonder her daughter is a confused (living in lala land) herself. Jacqueline is suffering from some sort of disorder and needs medications and intervention. Shes become obsessed with Teresa. Where is Chris in all of this? Oh wait he is in Chicago trying to sell dirty water.
Jac is tweeting responses within MINUTES of Teresa, let the games begin…

Ugh. She went on a twitter rampage! She was retweeting anything & everything negative about T.
The text messages Teresa posted don’t seem to be edited, but of course we can’t be sure.
Did Jac forget she was the one that posted text messages between her and T to begin with? She’s turned sooo sooo hateful. It’s sad.

Exactly! “@amandaviney: @JacLaurita you could totally tell they were edited- they made no sense!”
The text Jacs makes to Teresa about Gabriella – whoa! This woman needs serious help – Gabriella looks like Joe’s mom – out of all the kids she looks the most like a Giudice!!! WHAT THE .. …!!!!
This whole situation is really sickening. And I thought Melissa was bad. When Jac says she gets nasty, she isn’t kidding – but that remark about Gabriella – DISGUSTING!! She has stooped to a level that I cannot even see it is so low in the ground; much much further than pond scum!!!!
I cannot see how this woman is capable of taking care of an autisitc child – she is obsessed – OBSESSED! She needs a hell of a lot more than a life coach and wine. “Unhealthy purging!” Enough already! I don’t do Twitter and I’ve been blocked from Bravo, but I sure as hell hope that those who do and can, LET HER HAVE IT – even if they get called hater – WHOSE THE HATER HERE???
I respectfully disagree about contacting her. No one should be party to this obvious breakdown. Let her family take care of things.
Confused – you are right and I was wrong. Calm heads need to prevail and we should stay out of it.
Emotions are running high. So I can understand completely!
What do you mean you have been blocked by bravo?
Hi Michelle – I made a comment on one of the women’s blogs (I think it was Caroline’s or Jacs – I am not sure) on Bravo about holding Bravo partially responsible for the destruction of a family and friendships as well as what happened with Russell Armstrong. They published it and then in about an hour later, it was deleted along with ALL of my history. Everything! Obviously, I hit a nerve. I tried to comment while I was logged in, and they “pretend” to publish your comment along with your “Likes”. But as soon as I log out, everything, once again, disappears.
That is why I found this site. As I was reading Fame’s articles and everyone’s posts, I was glad to see that there is “freedom of speech” here – comments are made both pro and con and as long as they are within reason and civil, they are published.
My hat’s off to FAME – thank you for the forum.
That poor kid.
Jeannie, when I first read these texts yesterday I was also immediately struck (and LIVID) about the comment she made about Gabriella. The word “hypocrite” gets overused with the Manzos/Lauritas but there is just NO OTHER WORD (although I did call her a “bitch” on AATRH). For Jacqueline to start attacking Teresa for allegedly interfering in something that involves Nicholas and then to turn and make heinous comments about Gabriella’s paternity…really? Does she not see the hypocrisy? But then I did some more reading here and on AATRH. I looked at her Twitter feed.
I cannot, in all good conscience, let her have it just because I am angry with her. It is too apparent at this point that Jacqueline is mentally ill and very much in need of help. Her “reality” is not what is real “reality” – a characteristic that is symptomatic of some VERY serious mental illnesses, up to but not excluding schizophrenia. She also uses one defense mechanism after another to distort her skewed perception of reality and to resolve her unbalanced inner conflicts in order to make her own behaviors acceptable in her mind. Her habit of blocking people on Twitter who try to hold up a mirror to her is evidence of severe denial about reality. The fact that she accuses Teresa of living in a fantasy when it is SHE who refuses to look at the truth about herself is an obvious example of projection. Her constant reiterating of the fact that Teresa is the one guilty of all the wrongdoing while she has done nothing is typical rationalization. Even using Nicholas’ autism is an exercise in altruism – which on its own is considered beneficial but as a defense mechanism can be horribly destructive because it delays a person’s dealing with a current conflict, it’s a way of distraction and avoidance, sometimes called “martyr syndrome”.
Her constant employment of these defense mechanisms (and others, these are just examples, plus her other very frightening behaviors) SCREAMS “inner conflict”. Defense mechanisms are used in an attempt to resolve negative feelings like shame and guilt, to distort a person’s warped reality so that their reality makes sense in their mind, and to provide an acceptable self-image.
I have a background in psychology, I’m not making this up. Not that I’m trying to diagnose her either but where most people can clearly look at Jacqueline and say “she’s crazy”, I’m just trying to shed some light on specifically what is crazy about her behaviors. She shouldn’t be attacked for any of this. She needs help and she needed it a long time ago. Now, she needs it so badly that her family is negligent in not stepping in. The obvious obsession with Teresa has reached a level where the Giudices should be more than a little concerned. My fear is that Jacqueline is capable of harming herself or someone else and that she has two small children in her care. I’m not dramatizing this, I’m being dead serious. Her constant drinking, erratic Tweeting, nonsensical blogs, irrational thought process…all of it says to me that she is capable of things that make the hair on my neck stand up. There is no entertainment value in watching this happen to her.
So even though I am still quite angry with Jacqueline for the things that she has said and done to Teresa and the fact that she is still doing them, that anger is starting to be replaced with sadness for her. Chris needs to take her phone away and get her into a hospital so that this breakdown is properly addressed and so that it does not continue happening in a public forum.
Oh and where is her sage, advice-giving sister-in-law while all this is going on?
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate what you had to say here. I hope someone who can help Jacqueline reads this and takes it seriously.

Jacqueline Laurita @JacLaurita
I can’t interact w/the low life morons anymore,I have more important things 2 focus on & a greater mission 2 accomplish!#Disengage&walk away
How many times has she said that she has more important things to focus on? How long do we think it will be before she Tweets about Teresa? If she were truly disengaged, she’d not ever mention Teresa again. She’d just stop and REALLY focus on her “sick” child (who is conveniently, only sick when she needs him to be because other times she gets angry when people say he is sick).
This is just more evidence of how her reality is not reality at all. And the fact that she is Tweeting all of this means that she is aware that people are seeing it so she thinks that everyone else shares her reality (which they kind of do because she blocks people who don’t). She doesn’t know that her reality isn’t real…which is sad.
@Hair Like Cher
Love that name!! I really agree with everything you said above. And I do think Teresa sees this also, and that is why she does not want us to attack the other housewives. I think is scared of Jacqueline and scared FOR Jacqueline. I hope Jacqueline can find peace and move forward and be happy.
agree Jeannie, it is giving me chills, I can see why Teresa said the texts gave her chills down her spine on Anderson Cooper. Jac is scary, she is obsessed with Teresa, all those crazy texts/rantings. Jac needs mental help, asap!
I take back what I just said about letting Jacqueline have it on Twitter – Teresa has just tweeted and asks people not to and I will respect that. My apologies to you all about my rantings here – two of my hot buttons were pushed today – bullying gay people and bringing little children into adults’ arguments. I am usually calm and reasonable in my posts – so I am sorry.
after these season I came to a conclusion that Jacqueline is alcoholic, depressed, delusional amongst other things. And not sure if she is still suffering from postpartum depression. Chris really needs to intervene and get some control. Caroline is not helping. I think Jac blames herself for her sons autism. But to disguise the guilt, she is distracting herself with the Teresa bashing feast. She needs more then a life coach at this point. P.S. BRAVO IS NOT HELPING
Hurry up, I don’t have a screen thing, http://www.teresagiudice.com/home/2012/9/28/texts-love.html showed texts and Jac is going crazy on twitter lol.
she is RT ing nasty tweets about Tree because she showed what really happened, she showed all the texts.

There are embedded codes.
username cutieliscious tweeted some things to J and told her only 20′s yr olds do what she does. And also said that keeping it real isn’t what Jac was doing
I really hope they all work it out somehow as I really love this cast of housewives. I hope they realize they were all friends and family at one point…this is totally jersey drama..we all go though it..just like many people hang at Lookers, the supposed stripper spot on finale…everyone goes to strip joints in jersey…women and men…its just…jersey!!!!..
poor gabrelle she is so quiet, never talks and gets picked on i hope teresa gets guards to watch the kids till something is done about wacko jacko
Gabriella has her own look most certainly and she is a classic beauty… she looks exactly like theresa’s husbands mother. Let’s face it-the entire family on both sides are very very good looking!!! LOVE HOUSEWIVES OF JERSEY- but Jaq should be more courteous and not make such a cruel statement that gabriella might be an illegitamate child THATS CRUEL-talk like this gets back to kids!!!! Please get along and ALL COME BACK next season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fame,
I’m amazed you know all this. I LOVE your site!!
Hi guys, I noticed on here a call to boycott some sponsors of Bravo. Can I add some blogs to the list for their inability to report accurately and fairly…. Can we start with Perez Hilton and Reality Tea? Do you wanna add magazines? Namely US Weekly? After all, articles printed by these entities are contributing to the misinformation put out there.
So glad that they aren’t returning. Hope they smarten up and get rid of Melissa. Time to change the story line, of course keep the star of “Teresa”. Glad Kathy got her nose and lips done, can they do surgery on her eyes?
I do not think I have read one blog by a Teresa fan that does not say something mean
about another person or persons on the show. Ever.
Ok. Here’s one. I like Teresa even with all her human frailties. She makes me laugh and I admire her work ethic. She sometimes makes me cringe but that’s ok because the good outweighs the bad in my mind.
I sometimes wonder the psychology of why people support the different women on this show. Maybe it’s who we identify with the most.
Thank you, Paula2. I respect your opinion and agree that people identify with the women they
like. But my comment stated that I have never seen a Teresa fan say something nice about
ANOTHER person in the cast. Your comment related only to why you like Teresa.
I had to LOL because it would take some work for me to say something nice about the others. I do think that Kathy’s baking looked absolutely beautiful. It was very impressive. That’s all I’ve got……….
Great! I knew you could do it!
I GUESS THERE ISN’T MUCH WE CAN SAY NICE ABOUT THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS.lol I USE TO REALLY LIKE CAROLINE AND JACKIE WAS NICE…NO MORE
JACKIE HITS THE BOTTLE WAY TO MUCH AND CAROLINE MEAN AS A MAD DOG WHO HASN’T BEEN FED IN A FEW DAYS…lol
I REALLY NEVER THOUGHT TERESA WAS EVER TRYING TO HURT ANYONE
SHE SAYS THINGS SOMETIMES WITHOUT THINKING IT THROUGH FOR AN HOUR OR 2 BEFORE SHE SAYS IT, BUT SHE HAS NEVER BEEN MALICOUS …AND MOST OF THE TIME SHE IS LIKE AN INNOCENT DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS
You sound very nice and very forgiving. But I’m afraid I can’t agree that Teresa is like an
innocent deer in the headlights. Never would I have thought of her in that way!
We can just agree to disagree because I’m spending too much time on my thoughts about
this awful show. It certainly isn’t entertaining anymore, at least to me.
For all of the money that the show generates, all of the cast members should be getting 3 times what they are getting now! I mean, top sitcoms had cast budgets of over 20 mil. So what does that mean? If the networks do reality TV, they don’t have to pay the cast & keep all of the money for themselves?
Joe Gorga alone is worth paying over $250,000 & Teresa should be getting at least 1 million dollars per season!
To pay Melissa as little as she gets per season is utterly ridiculous!
I would Definitely watch a spinoff show starring Teresa & I hope that she gets a big contract deal from it!
