Napalm, Blubber, and Lauren’s Lap Band
By Teresa Giudice
October 1, 2012
Teresa shares her thoughts on Caroline and Lauren’s struggle with weight.
Hi Sweethearts,
Like every Housewife in every city, I think filming the reunion is one of the worst parts of our job. It’s a long, long day, it always gets ugly, it’s hard to sit through and even harder to watch. At least this year I knew what I was walking into: I knew the other cast members, even my family, were going to band together to bash me. Last year was a total shock. This year was just sickening and sad.
I think one big difference between New Jersey and the other cities though is that most of the women on our show prepare for weeks for the ambush. They write little notes and look over every little thing I ever wrote. They’re so desperate to make me look bad. Here’s the thing: I don’t care. I know who I am and I don’t need to prove it to any of them. And I’m certainly not going to waste my off-camera, family time looking up words in the dictionary and making obsessive lists about them. For one, I’m not obsessed with any of them. If none of them had showed up at the Borgata, I think me and Andy could have still filmed a good show. For two, I’m not desperate to prove them all wrong, because they prove it all by themselves in every blog and every interview. I don’t have to dig all the way down to vocabulary words (and PS for the millionth time: spell check! It’s not hard!) because I’ve got nothing else. Their lies and contradictions are right there in black-and-white and there are far too many to list!
I do never know what crazy angle the other women are going to take at me, so my strategy is to sit there and be as calm and mature as I can. As calm and mature as anyone can filming all day with 10 people coming at you! I’m not an actress, I don’t practice in the mirror at night, so my reaction isn’t always perfect. But I’m not perfect. I’m just me.
I’m not proud of everything I said at the reunion, but I am proud of the things I DIDN’T say. As they were yelling at me, I kept reminding myself not to say this or that about their private lives, I kept thinking about Dina and her and Caroline’s mom, Nettie, and family stuff I did not want them to hear me say. It was a struggle because they attack me so viciously and yet they have their own skeletons, their own public scandals and newspaper articles and financial problems that don’t get discussed on the show, because I won’t discuss them. They do it to me, but I won’t do it back. So when Caroline fired at my appearance, yes I fired back. It wasn’t a great moment, but I can only be pushed so far.
Once we started going there with each other on our appearance, I guess it opened a can of worms for me that has really bothered me for a long time: Caroline’s hypocritical and crazy unhealthy view of herself and how her view upsets her daughter. First of all, I have no problem with Caroline’s body. Everybody is different and every size can be beautiful. But you have to own it, not lie about it. What I can’t stand is that Caroline has for years talked about how she loses weight naturally, she even did interviews on her “portion control,” meanwhile she’s hiding behind a secret surgery. I’m sorry, I don’t like that. It’s one thing to keep your private business private, but then don’t go being the poster child for natural weight loss and lying to everyone. And especially when you’re lying to the public, you’re helping create this body image lie that young girls are suffering from. Imagine if I told everyone I got bigger bubbies because I just took a certain vitamin. Guess what? It’s not true and that’s not fair to the public who really wanted to know how I did it.
Then you had her big storyline all season: hovering over Lauren’s shoulder and obsessing about her weight. I would NEVER allow that to be my storyline. Poor Lauren. When Caroline said in one of her on-camera interviews that she “couldn’t even relate” to Lauren’s struggle because she’d “been tiny her whole life,” I realized what the problem was: Caroline. You should embrace your children and how they look, not constantly remind them how miserable they are, making them even more miserable.
And let’s get this straight: Lauren was 185 pounds. Not 285. She’s 24. Do you think major surgery chopping up your stomach is the answer for that extra 30 pounds? I don’t. The ones who are sending out the bad message to kids in America are Lauren and Caroline for acting like Lauren was a prehistoric beast before and the lap band saved her life. The lap band surgery is a miracle for some people, for people who are extremely unhealthy, who have tried everything, who’ve had babies and are older with slow metabolisms. Look at Lisa Lampanelli. I know she tried everything, and the lap band worked wonders for her. She looks amazing! That’s the person who should get lap band, not a 24-year-old with a controlling mother. Sorry, but that’s my opinion.
I do want to apologize to anyone watching and any of my friends and family if it seemed like I only think skinny is beautiful. That’s absolutely not true. My mother is the most beautiful woman I know and she’s not a toothpick. My husband isn’t super skinny and I call him “juicy and delicious.” He’s sexy to me. My friends are all different sizes and all beautiful. What your body looks like doesn’t matter to me at all (unless you’re a big public hypocrite about it!). I know the “blubber” comment was really random, so I want to explain where it came from…
I have a habit of remembering certain words when I hear them and using them later in a totally different way. Like when I heard about John Mayer saying Jessica Simpson was “sexual napalm” I thought that was a really good description of how something clings to you, and I used “napalm” in my blog. Before the reunion my friend and I were talking about how I feel bad now about how everyone treated Danielle. I didn’t see it, how bad everyone was to her, until last year. And my friend was like: “It’s like your living in a Judy Blume novel! You’re in Blubber! You were friends with the mean girls and you didn’t realize how mean they were until they turned on you!” I guess I just had that in my head and “blubber” came out! I didn’t plan to say something so crazy, the word was just in my head. I was thinking about a book about mean girls, not trying to be a mean girl! Sorry!
There’s really not much more to say. Rosie shocked me, but then again, she really didn’t. I think you got to see a bit more of the Kathy that I know… And Melissa and Jacqueline… stay tuned because their crazy is just getting started!

Teresa Giudice answers some of your burning questions from the finale.
Hello Sweethearts!
I have to start by thanking you all! Thank you all for caring, for your wonderful messages, and tweets. Your support means the world to me!
I also want you to know that as much as I love, love, love the Team Teresa support, I get that you are also Team Family and Team Gorga and Team Everyone. And I love that too. You can love all of us or none of us. We’re all humans and we’re not perfect. I even get why some of you might like Melissa. Sometimes I like Melissa. If anything, you’re getting a good picture of what knowing Melissa is like: she can be fun and sweet and you think things are going to be good, and then she twists on you, lies, does something nasty, and you’re just like: why? Why couldn’t you just be all nice? Or at least all real? But whatever. I can’t change her. She is who she is. I’d like to say you know her true colors, but I think this is only the tip of the iceberg. I think she’s so worried about painting a certain picture of her present, glossing over her past, and trying to decide who she wants to be in the future, that she doesn’t even know her true colors.
Here’s one thing I know: you can’t lie to your fans. You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the media and they’ll still print your lies hoping to make money off them, but if you lie to your fans, eventually you won’t have them (or you’ll have to buy fake ones…). People will forgive your shady past, forgive your mistakes, but you have to be honest with them. They won’t forgive liars. I’ve known this since day one, and I’ve always told you all the truth. I tell you the things I can’t or won’t talk about, like open legal cases or my parents’ private business, but I never lie about them. I’m proud that you can go through all of my blogs and interviews since the very beginning and there are no inconsistencies and no lies. I might be naive about things and I don’t always have all the answers, but I remember where I worked, when I went to college, where I met my husband, who I’m related to, if I have an arrest record — all helpful for telling the truth!
I’m sorry my blogs are so long sometimes (I’m sure this one will be huge!), but I respect all of you enough to take the time to explain things like the magazine covers, like my family’s history, like what it actually says in my cookbooks, especially since other people like to just throw bombs — “She did this and I have the secret texts to prove it!” — and run away. You have all stuck by us these last four seasons through bankruptcies and sicknesses, family feuds and heart breaks, and I think you all deserve the truth.
So here are answers to the questions I got from you all the most this week:
Why was Joe’s brother Pete Giudice at the Fashion Show? (I got this one a lot!) Pete wasn’t there randomly alone. He came with his wife, my sister-in-law, Sheila, her sister, and a bunch of other guys. It’s a big event for our town every year and it always sells out. And yes, there are always guys at the fashion show — go back and watch any other year — remember Greg Bennett begging to sit next to me at the first one? — but our hubbies usually don’t come. I didn’t know Pete was going to be there or believe me, I would have dragged Joe along too!
Why did I go to the new salon with Kim D? Because she asked me to go with her. And it was just for make-up, not hair. And it wasn’t just some random place. They were a major new sponsor of Kim’s fashion show as you could see from their name on the step-and-repeat, Chateau Allure Salon. Kim’s fashion show raises thousands of dollars every year for charity, and I support it. So do all the other ‘Wives. I know Melissa now calls it a “trashy party,” but that’s only since she started supporting a competing local fashion show. And Melissa seemed pretty excited when Kim D. asked her to walk in the show last year… I don’t want to forget my old friends just because I got more popular and met new ones.
Am I friends with the people who owned the salon? No. It’s owned by Johnny Karagiorgis (@JohnnyTheGrk on Twitter) and his wife Penny Drossos (@PDKhair). I’ve met them at a few of my appearances, and they seem nice enough. I know they like me, I just don’t know them very well. I only heard after the fashion show that Penny and Melissa don’t get along, but like I said last week, I can’t keep up with everyone in our town that doesn’t like Melissa! All I can do is tell people not to talk about my family and excuse myself from the situation, which I do every time, even to Kim D! I have heard since then that Penny used to be a special needs teacher and has a Special Needs day every week at her salon where she pampers kids and adults with special needs, which is pretty amazing.
How does Penny know Melissa? I don’t know, you’d have to ask her. From what I understand, it’s actually Penny’s family member, not Melissa’s, who owned Lookers (weird thing to lie about). Maybe their argument is from something back then.
What kind of club is Lookers? I have no idea. I’m seriously confused. Melissa says it was a “bikini bar” but that she only wore a tank top and sneakers. Then she said Lookers was a club for “older men with money. You’re in a bikini, you hand them a drink, they’re like ‘Here’s $100 bill.’ I’d be stupid not to work there!” (Yes, Melissa, very stupid… I had no idea stupidity is why I had no money in college… I thought it was my morals…) She worked there a day, a week, a year, her family owned it, they didn’t, I have NO IDEA. Google the place at your own risk.
Why didn’t I warn Melissa about Angelo after I met him at the salon? I had no idea he was going to the fashion show too! I thought when he came up to me at the salon, that was it, and I could tell Melissa later. I didn’t want to ruin a nice evening at the event by talking about it that night. When Angelo showed up and came up to the table, my heart was racing. I don’t know anything about Melissa’s true past, so I had no idea if he was a threat or not, but I was prepared to defend Melissa if he said anything. But all he did was say hi and left. Left the table and then left the building (and I chased him down)! I never met the guy before that day. I didn’t even know his name, I walked around calling him “the bald guy” all night. And I was never near him, never next to him, nothing (or you would have seen it!). The first one to use his name was Melissa in the bathroom. She immediately started calling him “Angelo” — which looking back now is weird since she claimed she didn’t recognize him.
Why did Angelo say Kim and Teresa wanted to “blow the whistle” on Melissa? If you watch from the beginning of his conversation, you see that Angelo wasn’t talking about me and Kim first-hand because he didn’t know us. He was retelling a second hand conversation. He was talking about Johnny, the owner of the salon, telling him that “Kim and Teresa want to blow the whistle” on Melissa. That’s Angelo retelling Johnny’s opinion. Maybe he heard wrong, maybe Johnny did say that, I have no idea because I don’t really know Johnny either. Maybe Johnny thinks I would like to see Melissa taken down, but he’s wrong, I didn’t and don’t, and I never said anything like that to anyone. I know what it’s like to have your family betray you publicly. I would never wish Melissa’s family secrets to come out. Your family is supposed to be your rock. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
What about Angelo saying “Teresa knew”? Ask Richie Wakile about things coming out of your mouth like last week’s “Kathy tastes like fish” comment… I don’t know what Angelo was referring to, but he was very clear a week later in a taped interview that I didn’t know him and had nothing to do with it. I did NOT know Angelo, and I did NOT know Melissa was going to be “set up.”
What did I know? Keep reading…
Who was the secret person texting Jacqueline? Good question. I’d like to know too. Especially since none of our “mutual friends” were at the salon that day and the party. And Jacqueline said she was going to send the texts to Melissa that night. You know those two would have put them on Twitter immediately. Why didn’t they? Please, tell us, because no one is buying the “you’re a loyal friend” excuse.
Why am I still friends with Kim D? First, maybe it’s because I still feel bad for how my brother treated Kim that night. You didn’t see the half of it. It was s-c-a-r-y and my brother knows it.
Second, it’s not just me still friends with her, it’s Caroline and Jacqueline too. Why aren’t they freaking out too and defending their new best friend Melissa? Maybe because like me, they don’t really think Kim D. did anything that terrible to Melissa. The worst thing you can say about Kim D. is that she knew a guy was going to say, “Hi, remember me?” to Melissa. That’s really not a big set-up in my opinion. It’s not openly evil, like appearing on the cover of a magazine (with my picture, thank you, thank you very much!) talking about me and my family and telling horrible LIES about me. So a good question might be why is Kathy still friends with Melissa after this week? I’m Kathy’s blood family after all. And Kathy was sooo hurt that I mentioned one of her husband’s insults to me, which she admitted he did, in an interview.
She’s not upset by Melissa’s recent interview lies? And why is Melissa spreading lies now? I know why, but you’ll have to wait until the reunion to see it. PS: Is her Victim Tour 2012 over yet? Anyone?
Did anyone else notice how in the bathroom she immediately turned on me when I told her not to call my brother (which by the way, if my whole evil plan was to out her to my brother so they’d get divorced, I would have welcomed him coming down!) and reminded me I had “nieces and nephews at home.” She always does that, she always uses her kids to hold me hostage. She keeps me away from my family. I can’t win for losing with her. She says I should never have told her about the guy, then that I should have told her earlier. I’m damned if I do, and damned if I don’t. You could see how used to this I was, her readiness to twist this to my brother, to hurt him and me. She doesn’t care who she hurts. I know my brother’s temper and I didn’t want him to get in a fight and go to jail. Why wasn’t she concerned about this??? She was begging him to come, then she blamed me for him coming! She will use anyone.
I didn’t know until I watched the episode that Melissa was egging my brother on in the car. She didn’t want him to drive away. She had no proof of anything, she wasn’t even really “ambushed,” but she had the perfect opportunity to get my brother to hate me. So she took it and ran with it. She told him to roll down the window and she knew exactly what to tell him that would push my buttons: “Tell your sister ‘Shame on you!’” She kept repeating it, even under her breath as we were talking, “Say shame on you! Say shame!” That, to me, is sick. It’s not me watching a lie from Caroline or a rumor. It’s me watching Melissa in action. Sick, sick, sick.
So, last question: What’s the big deal with Melissa dancing or not dancing anyway? Like I said last week, and I said on Twitter right after the fashion show “leaks” about the “set-up” — it is no big deal. You know, I’ve been around the Housewives franchise for a while now, and I’ve seen this before. And no one ever cares. Doesn’t every city have an ex-stripper? NeNe admitted she was a stripper. No one cared. Bethenny’s topless B-movie came out. No one cared. And they are the two biggest Housewives ever. Even if Melissa was a stripper, I KNEW no-one would care. If I wanted to “embarrass” Melissa, it wouldn’t be for something no-one cared about!
My guess as to why Melissa is so hot and bothered about this whole non-ambush thing? Because it’s probably only the tip of her past’s iceberg. Maybe there’s something else Melissa did back then that she wants to stay hidden because people WOULD think is a big deal, especially since she’s a mom now, especially if she still does it… I don’t know, and I hope never to know! I guess I’m actually thankful this all happened now because when the real Marco skeletons come out, I’ll be far far away from her and she can’t try to blame me for those too.
OK, last question…
Finally, yes, I did see Melissa’s US Weekly interview. Is that 3 weeks in a row now they’ve put me on the cover? It’s amazing to me how many times US Weekly uses me to sell magazines when they’ve only sat down and interviewed me ONCE back in Season 1. My favorite was when they just reused the exact same cover picture that In Touch used 6 months earlier. That’s an amazing reporting team right there…
I hear those of you who say I deserve it, that I did the same thing. It’s easier to say when you’re not in the world of tabloids and television ratings, but I do want to explain how I handle it the best way I can. What Melissa and the other women accused me of all season was basically running the magazines and having complete control over everything. We all know that’s not true. Even though Caroline mocked me for the headlines, she knows, we all know, they write something to sell. I know Melissa didn’t write the US Weekly headline. I know she didn’t even get to pick which shot of her (or me!) they put on the cover (at least I hope she didn’t choose that shot…). I know Melissa can’t control what “sources” say in the interview. She doesn’t even know if her “story” will make the cover until it comes out. I don’t blame her for any of that. I don’t even care if she made a million dollars for the story. All I can hold her responsible for is the actual quotes that come out of her mouth. Read all my old interviews. Tell me what I actually said that was untrue or even hurtful. I talk about how I feel, I tell the truth about my life. I wish I could say the same about Melissa, but I can’t. Her lies are absolute garbage and right from her mouth. That, at least to me, is a huge difference in how we handle being in the press.
I got a million calls from the press for my response, and I’ll be honest, I didn’t want to talk to anyone. But obviously they are going to write about me whether I give them quotes or not, whether there’s any truth to it or not. There was a time when I was really upset to be in the magazines, when it was all new to me. But this is my life now. I’m on television, it comes with the territory. But I don’t have to stoop to their level. I can tell my truth and still have something positive come out of it. So I decided while everyone’s waiting to hear what I have to say (because they won’t always care), I’ll use this opportunity to also tell people about good things, about good causes.
Last year, right after the fashion show and Season 3 reunion, I entered Celebrity Apprentice world. I went to several charity functions with the Trumps and got to know about NephCure. I had never heard of them before and I was really excited about the possibility of bringing some much needed national attention to a great cause. I worked so hard to stay on as long as I could so as many people as possible would learn about NephCure. I think I helped them, but in a lot of ways, they saved me too. Raising money for people with real problems, for sick little kids, saved me from falling into a pit of self-pity from the way my family and friends treated me all season. It felt so good to be away from the tiny little bubble of New Jersey Housewives who have nothing better to do with their lives except obsessively text about secret texts… to use my brain and my business skills and my experience up against 18 other unique, talented and accomplished people. It felt so good to get outside of myself.
No, I haven’t really seen or spoken to the other Housewives and my brother in almost a year. And while that made me really sad, on a lot of levels I really flourished being away from their negativity. My kids are doing amazing. I celebrated my 40th birthday on an island with my hubby and my closest friends. My third cookbook hit the New York Times bestseller list. My Fabellini and Milania hair care line was launched. And my heart is full as I continue to work with NephCure.
So I decided to do a magazine interview… but only if they would also talk about NephCure. Because at the end of the day that’s what’s important: being a good person and helping other people, not letting haters drag you into the mud with them. I hope you’ll buy my magazine interview story because it really is my words, and I hope you will support NephCure (www.nephcure.org) or whatever charity helps you save others… and yourself.
Thank you all for being there for me and making me a better person! I love, love, love you all!

Teresa is always being called out for not taking responsibility or owning what she does and the consequences of it. Well, she just did with what happened with Danielle and I now have newfound respect in that regard for her. I always was a little upset with her for that but still felt she didn’t deserve what has been happening to her for the last two years. I am glad Teresa realizes what went on, understands and empathizes with what Danielle went through, and takes responsibility. Good blog – oh, and Lauren, you can tell Teresa writes her own blogs. Her speech patterns and little nuances are all over it.
I don’t care who writes Teresa’s blogs, they’re right on the money. Teresa’s sole problem when put up against those envious cunts is her inability to articulate herself. Sometimes, I wish so badly I could jump into her body and slay those cunty cunts with my vast, boundless vocab – to the point of leaving their heads spinning & contemplating suicide. Lauren shouldn’t be exempt of any insults as she has imposed herself in the beef, she’s a legal adult, and willing participant of this fuckery of a show. With that being said, Lauren, you suck. No amount of make up or weight loss will make you pretty. Truth is, you’re ugly & rotten on the inside. You’re envious of your brothers’ relationship & alleged BLK success. You’re vainglorious to think anyone gives a flying fuck about your idiotic make up shop. You have the audacity to charge $38 for fingerless gloves? Stop it. If I were you, I’d keep losing weight (you still look like Miss Piggy) and move out on our own. Maybe, just maybe, you won’t lose Vito – who by the way, is super cute & seems like a nice guy. Save your ass, Fatty! Caroline is pathetic. I’m a firm believer of karma & have NO doubt that her’s is on it’s way. My karma prediction? That her children will be embroiled in a similar Joe Gorga/Teresa Guidice conflict. She’ll feel the pain the poor Gorga parents must be feeling. Caroline should be ashamed of herself for feeding the fires of discord & instigating.
Lastly, I’d like to know why Caroline’s brother, Joe, banned her from attending his son, Frankie’s wake/funeral back in 2008. That alone, speaks volumes of Caroline’s character. So much for supporting your siblings if difficult times arise.
awesome comment i enjoy ur take/opinions
Thanks!
Wow! Couldn’t have said it better myself! Minus a few c words of course:)
My apologies for my gratuitous & perhaps exaggerated use of profanity. However, when I think of these vile, evil, degenerate, malicious, repugnant women – the “C” word is the only word I can think of that can describe them. Sowwy.
I gotta say I hate that word.
Yes I also missed that, the reason why caro was banned from Frankie’s wake or what cause of his death. Since they are such a loving family and stick together especially during the hard times. Seems strange she wasn’t allowed to attend this so sad event. Maybe to avoid camera crews filming this family? Idk
The Laurita Grandparents and a slew of aunts/uncles were left out of Frankie’s obituary. His sister, Michele, lives in my city (and we have mutual friends, I’ll see if I can get the scoopers)
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/ctpost/obituary.aspx?n=frankie-laurita&pid=118529009
Thanks Shear, such a big family. And such a great loss. I feel for each and every one of them.
Out of 12 Laurita siblings only 2 went to Jamies wedding and Caroline said not to read to much into it. They have probably be on the receiving end of The Manzos venem for a long time. Carolines mother had to tell them to lay off on twitter because they were so hateful.
you said everything i was thinking….thanks for articulating it so well!!!
Tell it like it is Shar Shar!! Love it!
Omg you just said everything that was in my head! Especially the last part! Not only was Caroline not invited to the funeral Dina didnt go either and neither were mentioned in the obituary? I would love to know what happened.
great comment – well said
Spot on!!!!Love it!!!!
You’re so right that Caroline is going to be in the same position as the Gorga parents one day. I’d never thought of that! Lauren is so clearly jealous of her brothers and resents them for taking up all their mothers love and affection and it’s just going to get worse. In 10 years time (or whenever) when they all have kids and Lauren perceives – whether true or not – hers to be not given the same love, interest or attention as the children of the beloved Albie and Critterfur, it’s going to cause WW3 and Caroline is going to find herself in a position where just like the Gorga elders, her children hate one another.
I just noticed Albert Jr. has the nickname Albie, Chris has critterfer, and she just gets Lauren. I feel bad for her. She probably gained all the weight in the first place because her daddy was never there growing up and her brothers are the favorites.
I still don’t like the girl because I think she’s weird for having NO friends her age and spending ALL her time with her mom. And getting involved with their drama. I swear she’s like a spineless, petulant child desperately seeking attention/affection.
I love this comment, In answer to the funeral, “it was Theresas fault”!!!!!! LOL that is what she would say if asked. Everything in her life and her ugly kids lives is Theresas fault.
!!!! Seriously I wish I could speak for Teresa too. Anyone who is against her I have to question their character. Teresa has remained the same all 4 seasons but because of her success,the other women are losing it. And I love how if Tre tries to defend herself everyone calls her evil yet they can talk about her small children, financial woes, and marital problems. Caroline is disgusting. She is unhappy with herself which is why she bashes her own daughter. There’s a reason her own family doesnt talk to her.
SharShar68, I applaud you ! Great job on the post. I agree with all points ! Love the Miss Piggy, I lol when I was reading this. Take Care
THANK YOU SHARSHAR!!!!! You said what I wanted to the only thing left out is how Tre was right about us not know the true Kathy….And I think we seen a little of what she was talking about when Ms. KatNip was discustingly calling her Aunt and Uncle, Tre’s parents, a Lier and a Coward in a screaming rage….to have the other crazy Rosepig scream death threats in the back ground at Tre, over WHAT???? Tre simply saying “My father was there more for you than your own”….Hmmmm, probably because there was a family issue there, maybe??? And, Tre’s Dad and Those two inbread bugeyed snakes poor mother are siblings….Maybe like Tre, her father was trying to be a good brother to his sister, and now his two bratty neices are disrespecting that because their father is “OFF LIMITS” for some reason! Why didn’t Mego and Stump Jumper start screaming and get involved in protection of the parents (Tre’s)????Caroline, Jauq, Kathy, Melissa and Rosie can all have eachother and share Kathy’s Peace Pipe, what a farce!
haha I LOVE It. Right on the money : ) I only reserve that word for people who I can’t stand the most so I agree with everything 100%.
OMG must watch this review. Caution language not for children
It says you posted this oct 2 but the video is from this Tuesday? o.O
Oh I don’t know . . . I’m thinking since all their other biz ideas flopped maybe the fab 4 could sell their faces & sharshar’s “slogan” on T-shirts? I’d buy a “Cunty Cunt-Cunts” shirt from them. Beats the heck out of BLACK Water and Calf-faces!
I think the Bravo formula is working.
Teresa gets on the show.
Teresa flips a table and puts Bravo on the map.
Cast mates become jealous of her success and fan base.
Her products sell like hot cakes.
Bravo takes a cut in profits.
When cast mates attack, fans back Teresa by buying her products and showing support for her.
Keep attacking Teresa = more money for Bravo
When in doubt, follow the $money$!!! It will always lead u to the truth!!
True but if she is a goldmine for them. They also need to take care of that priceless gem.
I have no doubt Teresa is on the fast track to being the next Bethany. She will become a star and leave her disgusting,foaming cast mate dogs far behind her.
I would get some distance between her and those people. (Kinda scared for Tre)
Especially Jacqueline who is behaving like a jilted lover. No wonder Chris stays with her, he doesn’t dare leave after he’s seen how she stalks Teresa.
omg i said the same thing! lol shes so crazy. did u see all those text messages she sent teresa?!
They were RIDIC! One after another w/no pause… like let Tre breath. My gawd!
Vito stay with Lappy Lauren for the same reasons…..he is afraid of what the Crazos would do or say about his family.
My God I love that woman!! I don’t know how she’s still standing – maybe truth will set you free and she’s got nothing to hide. Great blog – The lady deserves a medal for dealing with this the way she has – kudo’s to her!!
Stacychris, spot on, how sad the fact that she is “still standing” just fuels their fire. She is more woman than all of them put together.
Yeah. They would LOVE Teresa to be on the streets and miserable. However, she’s a fucking superstar and she just continues to get stronger and more successful no matter what they – or life (the bankruptcy) throws at her.
Just took a look at the blogs, negative comments rolling in by the truckload and positive ones for Caroline. I want to know how many people have tried posting but are blocked, I know I have been on many occasions.
Bugger it, I’m gonna flag all the offensive ones. They allow people to say such horrible things they need to get off the NOH8 list. Whilst I understand the campaign in about marriage equality I feel like Bravo does little to promote equality and love!!!
http://www.noh8campaign.com/article/about
might write them a little something something.
Done, sent off my little letter to the press email.
“This channel has shown itself to support and manufacture bullying, violence, hatred and inequality. They fail consistently in their duty of care towards their employees and openly encourage degradation not only on our screens but between viewers in their blogging system – please note children have not been spared in their social media arenas. They have aired hate fuelled vengeance unmoderated, a virtual free for all against a single character. Is this not the definition of bullying? Threats of bodily harm have been allowed on air without apparent protection for the intended victim. Whilst I do not wish to appear as a crazed fanatic, they obviously support your original mission of marriage equality, the double standard in alerting the public to the homophobic slurs of it’s employees (ie characters) and the contrived storyline to disintegrate the notion of family cannot be ignored. Is this not what you strive for? Family and unity? I believe including them in your campaign undermines your message as they have sold out the family unit for ratings and cash and are using you to further their brand.
Please stand by NOH8 and remove Andy Cohen et al, specifically the Real Housewives franchise of New Jersey, from your roster. Do not condone their poor example.”
KUDOS to you SACKEM!!! With great respect – excellent excellent, excellent!!! NOH8 is a pet cause of mine – I mentor LGBT youth as well as kids who, for various reasons, are considered by the state as “at risk”. Alot of these kids are bullied and some of them are bullies themselves because they have such low self-esteem. I wrote to NOH8 myself awhile ago, specifically about the NJ Housewives representing them, specifically Caroline and Jacqueline but I didn’t include the entire Bravo network. Every time I see the NOH8 photographs of them and the rest of them, Ashlee, Lauren, Greg, et al., it sickens me.GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
Thanks! Sometimes I feel really moronic for being so passionate about a show but I honestly believe that Bravo instigates so much of the negativity. There is a poll on their site belittling Rosie’s threats. I see no humour in violence. Andy Cohen is the head hypocrite who cannot remain impartial. “I believe you have become a beacon of no hatred towards others. Full stop, end of story: against bullying and the spread unjust treatment of all which is why I must call on you to denounce Bravo TV as one of your supporters. ” I threw this in for good measure in my email. I honestly believe the turn this show has taken has started to become the responsibility of the audience, kind of like slowing down by the scene of an accident: not only are we contributing to the slaughter by watching and giving them ratings, by staying silent we are in a way condoning it. This will be my last RHONJ series… which on the other hand sux because I would like to offer my support to Teresa. It’s a double edge sword.
I think YOU deserve the kudos for your mentoring!! There’s so much in the media as a whole that influences our youth and their self worth, they need guidance and it’s so easy to adopt the “not my problem” attitude. You deserve the high five! I just wrote one letter… which’ll probably get lost in the system!
What kills me about the Manzo’s noh8 picture is they are all throwing daggers from their eyes. Creepy!
I just tweeted them to STOP the bullying of TG and her daughters/shame on BRAVO! And yes, all my comments are blocked on the BRAVO blogs. I noticed for the first time this week that the “numbers” on the likes has spiked for anti-Teresa comments on Caroline’s blog. You know how there was always some posting “You go Caroline, you always tell the truth!” type posts – but they’d only have 1 or 2 “likes”? This week the comments are off the chain supportive to her and have 30-40 likes. Same trend on Teresa’s blog.
Yep it’s out of control. People don’t turn that fast!
I have 3 in “moderation” i.e. blocked..
yep they are blocking the positive comments for teresa
Everytime I comment, it never gets posted. Of course my comments are pro Teresa and anti-everyone else.
They have not posted anything I have commented on in weeks and sometimes it was just a “stay strong Teresa” or “Caroline, look in the mirror when you make such nasty statements”. Never anything bad. Sometimes I would just point out how “out of sequence” the episolde was.
Nobody should even bother to go to their blogs,fweets or Facebook pages of them. Just Theresa’s website. And can we report this to someone who will listen to us??? Anyone?
Me for the third week in a row. No name calling ever, just support forcTeresa. It ticks me off.
Let’s keep sending Teresa lord of lovr and suppp we don’t need bravo for that. Do we?
Nope! Don’t need bravo ! We can go to her website and show our support there and buy her products.
This is true.
i too am alwaysblocked by Bravo….go to Tre’s twitter acct. you can post positive comments there
I’m Leary of Twitter now too! Ugj
I am always blocked. I do not cuss and try not be to upset with them. I must be on some kind of list.
Me too! I only say good things about Teresa and don’t cuss about the rest. And many started to follow me! I didn’t know who they are. I don’t have a computer I use my phone. And don’t know how to block them. But now my twitter account got suspended ! Said I abused the rules! I know I did not! And I don’t even go back to twitter. I think somehow this is all connected.
You And the rest of us on Teresa team. I’m fed up with this. If I had a working computer I’d write so many emails ! Maybe if I find a physical addresses I’ll handwrite some letters and mail them in!
Sackem, whenever I leave positive words for Teresa, they are never shown.
caroline blocks everyone of my comments, even though they are well-reasoned and not attacking, more analytical, (even though I do say so myself). I was shocked that they were blocked, they were tame.
I don’t know which is worse, the women on this show or the viewers (including myself) that watch this train wreck and then allow themselves to become so emotionally invested in people that they don’t even know that they become vulgar and hateful to other complete strangers. I don’t care for any of the women on this show, some I dislike more than others. They all knew what they were getting into when they signed on the dotted line. They also know this shows ratings would go down if there wasn’t enough drama. How much of this crap do you believe is “real” and how much is fabricated for ratings? Does it even matter anymore? Sorry about my sermon but the only person I ever felt sorry for on this show (except for the kids) was Danielle.
It’s not just this show, it’s the “magic” of television. I was more than likely 5 or 6 years old. I remember my mother and my aunt Ky were so upset on this particular day, I think my mother even cried. Turns out little Tom was in the basement with grandpa, playing with his toy train. You see the evil Lisa had left poor Bob and gone to Chicago, As The World Turns. This went on for years and Nickki and Victor, as well as a few others were added to their list of people to worry about.
What bothers me now, we are dealing with real families and real friends, not paid actors.
I am never ever ever posted either! I do like Tre as well and loathe Melissa, and now after part 1 of the reunion, Kathy is the most vile, and Rosie should be arrested.
Thank goodness for you. I can’t believe how angry people are about a bunch of characters on a television show. Real or not, the drama in the women’s lives is something they have control over, so there’s no reason for any viewer to be so emotional. We’ll never know all the facts and all the background like the housewives and husbands behind the characters do, so we have no place to judge.
That said, I didn’t like Danielle. But I would never ever name-call her the way posters on this blog have name-called the characters currently of RHONJ that they don’t like. …talk about vile and disgusting.
i wish the teresa who writes the blogs was the teresa that went to the reunion = imo
English is Teresa’s 2nd language; it’s also my mom’s. When T is writing her blog, it’s on her own time, compiling her own thoughts- not being attacked & having to reply within seconds. I know with my mom, sometimes in her mind (I know cuz she’s told me) she has to translate from Spanish to English (even though she’s 84 & was born here, sometimes she still has to do that). So I imagine the same thing may occur with Teresa, especially when she’s attacked & has to speak quickly – some words may get lost in translation.
That said, I admire the hell outta her for standing up for herself…my gosh, I wish each of us could have the self-confidence this woman has developed. When the going gets tough, Teresa works harder & makes things happen.
I can relate to that. My first language is Spanish but I was born here. I still think in Spanish yet talk English and yes it takes time to process and difficult to fire back when being attacked. Love your observations.
Ditto, our family spoke Cajun French and my grandparents never learned english. We also have a tendency to make up words. One time my mother saw this really nice throw pillow and immediately exclaimed, “It’s so pluffy”. It was plush and fluffy = pluffy.
Aw.cute story thanks for sharing.
i posted b4 but didnot see it,maybe bcos i diddnot sign in.i wanted to say that am from africa and that english is my second language and it has affected my son in school here in united states,am always getting the he dont read well bcos of his accent so i can relate with tre.
am from africa and english is my second language as well so i can relate to tre.
Yes! Teresa isn’t stupid, she just has 4 people screaming at her. English is my first language and even I’d probably get a bit tongue tied if I had all those banshee’s screaming lies in my face. The other thing I think it that sometimes she’s so shocked at the shit they say to (and about) her that she’s unsure how to react or what to say but she has to respond so it comes out a little jumbled.
I am fluent in German – my Grandma’s sister married a German and emigrated there. The older relatives all speak fluent English but the younger kids don’t and the older ones are self conscious. Despite the fact I’ve been fluent in the language for 20 years, in spoken conversation, quite often I get words mixed up, pronounce something incorrectly or mess up the sentence structure. Because I’m translating my response from English into German in my head I often compile my sentences the way we do in English but in German the verb is often at the end of a sentence, for example. However when we email or text which isn’t as instant as a spoken conversation (let alone one where you’re being attacked) and I have time to properly think I make very few errors in regard to sentence structure or using the wrong word.
I could care less also If Teresa writes her own blogs. Who cares. They are her thoughts, and someone writes it. LOVE TERESA!!!
Truth doesn’t stop being truth even if someone else pens the words, not hat I think she is the not writing them. Now what if it isn’t,the truth doesn’t stop being the truth!
Totally agree. Some people are more articulate than others, why not utilise another’s skills? Not everyone can be good at everything, doesn’t the smart person recognise that & ask for assistance from someone who is?
I don’t think Teresa employs a writer but IF she does then I don’t blame her. Those crazy stalkers jump on everything she says, if she wasn’t able to articulate her feelings correctly and her blog posts are ambiguous etc they’d be nailing her to the wall for it whining that she’s fake and insincere and she doesn’t know how she feels because she’s a liar. I know they do that already but it’d be even worse if her blog posts wasn’t as clear and articulate as they are.
Teresa has seen how the “pen is mightier than the sword”! Her older posts where not as attentive as S4′s have been. She has gained so much from articulating her point of view in black and white. The screen shots and blog update (her website) re: Jacstabber’s irrational text messages hung over the reunion. Every time Jac raised her voice I recalled the nasty accusations she’s spewed on twitter and through texts, she’s a moron!. Loved her Alice in Wonderland blog – it’s the 150th anniversary of that story.
ITA, even if someone helps her write them, she is expresses her thoughts and opinions and dictating what she wants to put in the blog. However, since she says she does and uses spell check and the tools available to make corrections, I am going to take her at her word. If the other women want to make this claim that she doesn’t write her own blogs, then I would also have to question if someone helps some of the other women, as well. I don’t believe that some of the women are capable of being as articulate as they are in their blogs, either without some king of help. I say that only because they have all had issues with pronunciation and sounding articulate, and writing is more difficult than speaking. We all know that. So, unless proven otherwise, I am going to take the woman at her word, as she has been more truthful than some of the other women..
At any rate, she wrote a good blog, explaining things that she was attacked on especially by Lauren, and apologizing for her out of line comments. However, they will say she didn’t mean it and wasn’t sincere, and who cares anymore, because I don’t say things I don’t mean either. So, I don’t believe she would have addressed it, if she didn’t mean it. Anyways, after all that these women put her through, she had had enough and was fighting back. I would have been fighting back long before now, however, more subtly and tactfully. Teresa does need work in that area, but considering all the threats and screaming at her, it was what it was. Some of her comments were mild compared to what was said to her, and she says it only gets worse in the next two episodes–so I can’t even imagine how bad they all behave.
Just glad Kathy and Rosie showed their true colors, and because they did, I believe what Teresa has been saying about Kathy all along (shady and sneaky).
Kathy started in on Theresas family. She called her mother a f ‘in liar and her father a coward but as soon as T said something about her dad she was threatened by Rosie that she would cut her tongue out! Sounds like a restraining order should have been issued. Such violence. Why is it ok for the witches to say whatever they want but when T strikes back all hell breaks loose?
Rosie will need restraining order after what she said. You would of thought she was going to kill her.Rosie is crazy.
Melissa did nothing as Kathy sat next to her and called her mother in law a liar and her father in law a coward. Yet, when Theresa say something about Kathy’s dad and Melissa reacts like it was an unspeakable act. All about family huh? I wonder what Joe Gorga thinks about this!
They are her sentiments and thoughts and perhaps someone proofreads it and makes it flow better. I do that all the time for people because they know I can write. BFD.
And she doesn’t lie or offends any of them she has class!
If the President of the U.S. has someone write for him, why cant Theresa. She has editors at her disposal because she is a NY times best selling author. We all know that authors have editors and proof readers. Whats the big deal? They are still her sentiments
IFFFF Tre has a editor for her blog…..BFD. More time for her to spend taking care of her family AND making a living. I would like to ask the Crazos if dear Albie ever had someone proof read his work when in school or how about those letters to law school for reinstatement .???
Teresa’s blog traffic …73 comments 1468 people listening in less than an hour .. even though is pretty even on the hate/ love comments it is good for her to have that kind of reaction on people, nobody on the show as that, and that is why people, that is why they can’t stand Teresa, she is the star of the show, I guess Melissa thought that people where going to love her right away and hate Teresa but that didn’t happen Love her or hate her Teresa is the one carrying the show…
Love this Blog
Fame: Did anyone see the Wendy Williams show? I just commented about 10-15 minutes ago on here, gave you the summary of it, clicked post comment and the comment didn’t show up. Did you get it? They discussed the reunion and the show. Wendy didn’t come across as biased as I thought she would be, but was tough-especially asking if she would give up reality to have her family back. If you don’t have anything on it, or can post the interview, let me know. Teresa does reveal a couple of things about Jacqueline – most importantly, that Kim D. and Jacqueline talk everyday on the phone for an hour to an hour and a half, and says that she doesn’t talk to Kim that much or that regularly. Obvious indication is that Kim set up Melissa for her own personal issues with her and the Lauritas/Manzos knew more about it than she did. Teresa also reiterates that Chris did tell her husband about Jacqueline being a stripper, and that Jacqueline told her that she did it once, didn’t like it and never did it again. Teresa was hesitant to reveal that because of the reunion show, but did and then said “if anything happens to me, who will know who did it”. Wendy expressed that she thought all the women were out of line and would be better to get off of reality tv, but that definitely thought Kathy has no real role, and that Jacqueline had more important issues to focus on. Wendy said others should be brought on, who are friendly to Teresa, but not Kim D. (for obvious trouble making with this set up). She does say someone will come on the reunion and explain the whole thing and vindicate her (obviously, Kim D.). Teresa also addressed that Melissa made the claims about her putting her hands on her at Gia’s party, because Melissa put her hands on T at the reunion. Teresa denied and said that Elvira Grau, the owner of the venue, can vouch for her that she did not even go outside with Melissa, and has already tweeted about Melissa’s claims.
Wendy asked Teresa if she could have her family back and go off reality tv, would she, and Teresa said if she got a cooking show. Teresa said she would not let these women chase her off, and seemed assured that she was coming back, but revealed nothing about the others leaving or who might be coming on. Teresa was rough around the edges and was on the defensive, but got her points across. Again, as you and Sackem and I have said, she is not as articulate as she could be, and therefore it allows the other women to come across as more demure and ladylike than her, but really if people watched the reunion show, they can clearly see that is not the case.
Think the comment was lost, and if you can’t put up footage, let me know and I’ll go back and give a better summary. Still want to check out Twitter to see what comments floated out there after Teresa’s interview with Wendy.
I don’t see it isolde. It’s not in the spam folder either.
I don’t have the plugs-in to load anything but youtube videos, and I couldn’t find the show there. I wasn’t able to watch it and forget to set my DVR to record it. I probably can view it on her website (?); I have to look into it later… I don’t have the time today, so if you wouldn’t mind posting a summary, I would greatly appreciate it. But what you’ve posted already is good! I’ll keep checking youtube to see if it gets uploaded.
i looked not up yet… i will post the link when it does = wendy williams
#rhonj @KathyWakile Kathy called @joegorga Mother a liar and his father a coward on national tv. = FACT
Thanks Chris!
Thanks chris
Chris – WOW – I’m impressed!!! Who do you know over at Bravo to get posted on Teresa’s blog – just kidding! Good for you – way to go!!! and Thanks from all of us who can no longer post over there!!!!
Isn’t Wendy Williams on BET sometime tonight? (think it’s todays show but I may be wrong) I’m not computer savvy d/l’ing stuff so I’m no help in that area. If anybody wants to DVR it though-check BET.
I don’t know about BET but she is on FOX here in the tri-state area.
As far as how Teresa did, I think she did great!! Wendy was relatively decent to her and Teresa was more coherent than she has been – good for her! She mentioned why she felt that Lauren should have not had the LapBand surgery and her point is excellent. She felt Lauren to be too young; she is still able to try and lose the weight in a healthy way before she gets older and her metabolism slows down; but the best part of Teresa’s reasoning was that she thinks LapBand would be much more successful AFTER pregnancies, as well. As I said before, that is exactly what happened to Carnie Wilson. She lost all that weight and was doing really well and then she got pregnant. I think the most weight came back after her second pregnancy and now she is struggling once again.
Wendy made some snarky comments as to whether people would really watch a cooking show with Teresa and also took some shots at Dina’s show on HGTV saying no one watches that. But, overall, considering how the AC interviews went down, Teresa held her own, looked terrific, and was well received by the audience.
I watch it, even though her taste is not mine, and I can’t see wasting that much money on decorating your house like a Vegas whorehouse . But I like Dina, and I love to see what she is wearing. She dresses beautifully and is so very pretty.
Thanks for the run down Isolde! I’ll keep an eye out on the youtube to!! I think Wendy has her own channel on there!
If someone polished up Teresa’s blogs – so what? Her blog has her feelings and reactions all over it! Love that she didn’t give Melissa or Jac the mentions they crave or the ammunition they require to cling to relevancy. Teresa doesn’t tell us how other people alledgedly feel or what they meant to say or justify their vile behavior or words. A breath of fresh air in the RHNJ cesspool – and I will admit, I needed that!
I have an observation about the reunion last night. Why didn’t Melissa take offense to what Kathy said about her husband’s mother and father? It really was pretty disgusting and offensive. She just sat there and didn’t say a word in defense of her in-laws. These are her husband’s parents and her children’s grandparents – you know, the ones that she loves so much?
Exactly! I was just waiting for Melissa to speak up. In fact she didn’t flinch did you see? But no she’d always tell Teresa ” don’t say that” and blah blah .totally. disgusting.
truly sad that Melissa wouldn’t say anything!! About her husband’s parents! Who have treated her like a daughter since she joined the family… I’m sure Melissa will say that she just didn’t want to get involved in someone else’s argument, but NONE of them ever felt bad joining in on another’s argument with Tre! I am so sick of seeing Melissa’s OBVIOUSLY practiced lines in the previews of part 2! So awful. I bet the reunion was put off so long because someone had to coach Melissa on what to say and how to act! And she STOLE that line from Caroline, who also told Tre “you don’t get to sit here and act like the victim”. I know I remember that facial expression from her little skit about being in a haunted house this season. GMAB!!!
I do not know how Kathy will look her aunt and uncle in the eye again. I hope she’s proud of herself..and her new nose…and her new lips. There’s a word in Italian for her, but out of respect for Tre, I won’t use it.
Very true. Wonder what Tarzan Joe had to say about those comments! I’ll never forget when at the christening of his baby boy, screaming at his dad saying ” you’re my f@#! Father”!!! That is what he calls respect???
I think Joe’s dad knows his son is still a baby and it makes him sad. Doing for the people you love should make you happy-It shouldn’t be a chore. Joe should want happiness for his parents, instead of adding to their misery. But he had to bring the family troubles to tv to satisfy his wife. It’s sad
Actually my unsubstantiated theory is thatJoey f###ked his parents over regarding their house. You can’t tell me that the Gorga’s didn’t have a modest, co mfortable house that Joey convinced them to let him flip, then took all of the equity out of it. Then he put them in a house that he mortgaged to the hilt and was forced to sell, leaving them in financial difficulty that no senior citizen should have to face. They were probably very content in their original house and it was most likely paid for with low taxes and they trusted him and he screwed them over. But Teresa would never disparage her brother by revealing this disgusting behavior. Anybody that believes that Joey is making big bank by converting old buildings into condos in Patterson where everybody is trying to get the hell out of, does not understand the current real estate market. The only reason we are doing o. K in Miami, is because we have a great deal of Venezuelans and Columbians who are getting their money out of their unstable countries. Otherwise, downtown Miami would be a ghost town.
She is very proud that she got a nose job and fish lips for helping destroy her own family. As an extra bonus Rich got new teeth!
Kind of a waste since she won’t be on next season. Falling off the Z-list!
Oh no she did she told Andy that rosie will kill teresa instead of sticking up for her inlaws.i just cant stand she really is scum.
Teresa shoud NOT feel bad for what she said it was way true! The point was- why bash someone for looking good!!! And Mellisa DOES GO ON LOOKS! She said the bald guy had REALLY BAD TEETH. Why did Andy let Caro sit there and give T a moral lesson-that was sick. F-U-Andy!
And we all thought Kathy was so sweet her true colors are really coming out and Rosie always seemed like she was missing a few lug nuts to me and Kathy going after her own aunt and uncle wow
That Kathy is such a fake ” old school” and ” respect” uh huh sure. I loved it when Andy commented on her new nose and plumped lips. And he told her ” can I put a yellow light on you? No more Kathy! Hilarious
lol that was the first time all season I liked Andy! Kathy was shocked!! HAHA
Andy seemed to be more neutral this reunion than at previous ones. I was pleasantly surprised. He must have gotten a lot of bad feedback from previous seasons and didn’t want to be labeled a bully.
I agree. I hope he saw how wrong he was at last year’s reunion and didn’t just go easy on T because he didn’t want to hear it from her fans again
I have to add that I think Kathy’s plastic surgery was a HUGE mistake. She’s already almost 50, why on earth would she change her whole look? She litererally for the Jennifer Grey effect. She not looks totally generic, not any prettier, and lost her Italian mamma looks. It’s not like Kathy is going to start getting other acting roles. If she wanted to look better she should have lose weight. Period. Also, let me note, Melissa got a nose job before this season. It may have been her second. If you look at pics of her when younger, it’s obvious. On her it looks good, though. Kathy- terrible
True, but hexstill let Carohag talk over everybody.
Sorry to say, but I enjoyed his response to her “enhancements”, as well. I thought she looked much better before, but that’s my opinion. I thought that both Teresa and Melissa really looked good, but the others need professional help styling themselves. Caroline, Jacqueline and Kathy all looked like they had gained weight since Season 4, and their dresses did nothing for their body type. I only mention this because someone on Twitter last night, complimented all the women by name for looking great, except for Teresa. They deliberately left her out of the tweet acknowledging how great the others looked. It was just another hater unwilling to give Teresa anything. Obviously, because of the plastic surgery done to Kathy, doing the show has gone to her head, and changing her, at least physically. I do think she looked better before, I saw nothing wrong with her nose and mouth, it’s too bad she did. Apparently, Andy thought the same thing, since he made the “yellow light” comment about doing any more work to her face.
I so agree! The look on Kathy’s face when Andy made that comment was priceless ! Like she didn’t understand it at first ! Confused Kathy?
I was disappointed Kathy got plastic surgery…I don’t think it improved her looks at all, I found her look much more appealing before actually.
Kathy looks a mess. She shouldn’t have bothered with the surgery. Never mind her lips looking too small for her face, her nose does!
I know I really shouldn’t comment on someone’s looks but I thought Kathy looked really bad. Some people can pull off plastic surgery and other’s cannot i.e. Kathy Wakile and Bruce Jenner lol.
And did anyone notice the way Kathy sat there like her sh|t didn’t stink? So annoying.
Meant sat there looking like her sh|t don’t stink…
If I had to be near Rosie I would make sure she has had her rabies shots. Whats the story on her past issues for being violent? Wow, she really does scare me!
Rosie should have taken out of the building after she actually threatenedTeresa! There was no excuses to why they ( bravo) kept her there and even put her on the show! There already was enough extra people there to bash on Teresa! Rosie was totally inappropriate, Teresa’s comment was nothing compared to what Kathy said about Teresa’s parents! Teresa’s father probably left the room because he didn’t want to hear Trash about his own daughter and not because he was a coward! Also, why is Kathy over at their house talking about these things knowing how ill Teresa’s father is? I don’t get it! Bravo is never playing fair and promoting bad behavior. Rosie should not have been able to stay!!!!!
Rosie’s threats were made to Teresa on national television! She needs to watch her back and so does bravo. Something god forbid, horrible can happen. Even law suits. Teresa in her blog said she appreciates the love and support. But also asked for no twitter wars, if anything prayers would be more helpful and appreciated. I also read Rosie has a criminal record. True? She really flew off the handle. And a public apology should be given. That’s just my opinion. That’s how I feel. I was shocked! And can’t believe it was aired.
Love the blog, Love Teresa. Like alot of others, I wish Teresa was faster/better able to articulate herself when under fire, but truthfully with these women- they all play at kindergarten level anyway (you have a weave- that’s right you had a weave last year; you and your xmas pageant dress shut up, teresa teresa teresa show…..).
I’m fully expecting Andy/Bravo to have a huge bias of negative comments on the Bravo blogs. I really do believe that bravo is trying to shake Teresa from the tree, so to speak (force her to quit in a sense) and I’m glad she is taking the stance that she is not going to let anyone chase her out! HA Good For Her!
If Teresa does come back for Season 5 (too many different stories out there, I chose to just wait for official Bravo confirmation) I respect that she would never stoop to revealing the skeletons in these ladies closet, but I think if others want to take any of them down, Teresa just needs to look in the other direction and let the chips fall where they may.
… but Melissa said it was wrong to comment on other people’s outfits or is she trying to be J-Lo ghetto fabulous! Who are you Melissa? Are you still Jenny from the Block who would have got props and specs for shaking her thang to get by or Mrs Prim and Proper, head of the PTA who does nothing wrong… not even pass gas. Sounds to me like an inflated sense of self…….”She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie.”
Sackem…. I saw your awesome idea about sending the comments alot of normally send to bravo (that never get posted…ahem) and send them straight to Teresa.
I posted that over at allabouttrh and referenced your moniker. Awesome Awesome idea! Thanks!
Ta Hoolie! It’s like looking at the sun, posting at Bravo, you know it’s going to hurt but you can’t help it. Every week I post something knowing full well they’re not going to post it and then get angry about it. Felt about stupid about emailing her directly but at least it’s private (i.e. your details aren’t exposed) and hopefully, it’ll get to her. There was such venom on her Bravo page, I felt sorry for her!!!!
Did you hear what Jax said when Teresa went to sit next to Caroline. Can we snuggle, and teresa said huh…. Jax is a weirdo and looked high. One minut she want a fight, one minute she wants a hugg.
Yes! I caught that and then caro just played it off. Pretending she didn’t hear .
Jax is acting very evil,maybe can we snuggle was in reference to something else. She seems like she’s spilling all Tre’s secrets.Jax is a dirty fighter.
Yep, she’s a dirty fighter which causes T to respond maliciously. It’s an endless cycle.
I think that was Jac’s poor attempt at trying to be sarcastic and funny but because she’s so unstable it just comes across as pathetic.
I am English and we practically invented sarcasm!!! And Jac sucks at it just like she does at everything else… except drunk tweeting. She excels at that.
jacqueline: completely irrelevant! She desperately needed a “cause celebre”, she also desperately needed money. What to do? What books or products can I peddle? How to be relevant, how to profit from my disappearing 15 minutes…..Oh, I know: I will use my son! Imagine, now I can be on covers of magazines! I can sell books! I can sell products! I can go on speaking tours! I can be a “victim” and garner sympathy!!! I can be RELEVANT! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH………. BUT wait let me cry on cue and stop crying on cue (face move please, face move a little bit……….)……I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad! Did it work! Did it work???? and I can finally get back at Theresa! I should of been the godmother, not Dina! ME ME ME!!!!! can you imagine growing up Ashley!!! Ashley herself “You love being the center of attention, you love drama”….. “you are always in the middle of drama” “you start all drama, remember danielle, now this”..she also states numerous times “you don’t know what it was like growing up with her” and how come they always treated Ashley like she was a “visitor” and they were doing her a “favor”. jacqueline always spoke about the Laurita family house as “her house” (when telling Ashley to get out)……..I can only imagine that after a life time of abuse from this psychotic self centered, mother-Ashely would have some issues……….
and how come the Manzos/lauritas/gorgas are always associated with criminals (they always claim known criminals are their “best friends” or “family”: even Ashley’s father and step mother are criminals caught in crimes of character and deceit…….hmmmmmm…..you hang around scum long enough and become what???? isn’t that a favorite saying???
and finally: a business bankruptcy (with the allegations charged) is worst than a personal bankruptcy, because not only are you incompetent in your personal dealings, but you have the utmost disregard and disrespect for the public trust. You let down yourself, the public, vendors, businesses and the community as a whole…..
Brilliant! Totally agree! I do feel for Ashlee, because she certainly was treated as “less than” by everyone in her family.
I always stuck up for Ashley, when she was gettind bashed all over the Internet thanks to get parents, cousins and Caroline. Poor kid. Jax just didn’t want her around anymore because she started a new family and ditto with Matt. Children of divorce often act out subconsciously by under-achieving, they need a couple of extra years to get their shit together. They had the money to send her to Europe to study art and learn invaluable life skills, yet they send her to Vegas to live with the mentally unstable Bonnie Grippe and then send her to L.A. Assholes.
Is Rosie….mentally handicapped? I hope that’s the proper term…lol.
She seems off to me.
Nah,just not book smart. At. All. She has a nice job,and worked her way up the ranks.
She does look a ” a little off” was my first impression of her. And now with this display of total madness towards Teresa, threatening to cut off her tongue and killing her. Saying she didn’t care if she goes to jail. Teresa was so hurt and responded by implying Kathy was an ungrateful niece .
I got so caught up in this I know my last comment probably didn’t make to much sense. Sorry about that.
I sincerely believe she is borderline retarded with severe anger issues. I wish someone could look up her arrest record.

crap wrong video… sorry
#rhonj Wendy Williams lays out WHY hw R jealous of @Teresa_Giudice INTOUCH MAG **must see** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVoYHj6wJAM&feature=youtu.be The Wendy Williams Show 10-20-11… The Real Housewives of New Jersey…
this is from last year, right? Was Teresa on again today?
never mind lol I see today’s posted in your previous post. Thanks chris
I’m struggling to see it Chris. HELP!
neither link is for today’s show. Maybe it wasn’t up yet. There is only the tease which was from yesterday and the other one is last year’s reunion-but I’m glad I got to see that one because I never had lol.
I did find this though… old news but you can see the names listed on the court documents.
Whoa how’d the video get there! Hope this is ok Fame!!!!! Remove by all means if not…..
I remember!! I read it in US magazine! I may still have that issue. I’m going to look for it tomorrow.
I cannot like or reply on Teresa blog, has that ever happen to anyone or is it my computer. I have had that trouble several times.
Hi Pamila –
I think that means you have been blocked. That is exactly what has happened to me. Check and see if your history has bee deleted. If it has, then for sure you no longer exist in Bravo Land. Good luck – hope I’m wrong.
You could be right my twitter was suspended saying I violated some rules. I know I did not!
So they want me to watch for the ratings, but I am not suppose to comment unless it is negative to Teresa. I am understanding more and more. Where is the reality?
Exactly- we are pawns in the game of greed. I have to tell you when it first happened I was really taken aback – although my case may be a little different than yours – I said something I think touched a really sensitve nerve about Russell Armstrong and Bravo’s responsibility for destroying families and friendships – but I really felt like WOW – talk about being manipulated and I got really mad, mostly at myself for getting so roped in and being naive. Remember the saying, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more!!!!” That’s how I found this wonderful blog – where you can speak your mind, within reason! At first, you really feel duped but it gets better. Being able to “vent” here has helped me. I feel ridiculous sometimes being so emotionally involved but I think alot of us here in one way or another, identify with what Teresa has been going through the last few years. At least, that’s how it is for me.
Lots of weird things happening on jersey housewives pages. Wonder if there’s any truth to them buying followers.
yes they buy followers melissa page been going up….yest 13k…..which end of season s/b like 100 bethany during her tv hay day n promotion tour largest single day jump was 3k for kathy n melissa to go up over 10k in 24 hrs is a joke
Teresa SHOULD be writing her own blogs…period! She supposedly graduated from college so she should be able to write a summary very well,. On another blog I read, it lists the woman who is the actual writer. The Alice in Wonderland was definitely NOT T’s work & most of this last 1 isnt either, plus she had plenty of time to come up with a story about napalm. There is NO WAY ON EARTH, any1 who has watched all seasons cant say Teresa has changed-actually, she has done an 180°. I used to really like her but she is the 1 who has changed for the worse. The only thing I have positive to say about hed is I dont believe she set up Melissa at the PFS! I think Kim D planned every bit of it. I do believe T KNEW some of what was going on tho & didnt care to stop it. We can only assume the real story but I would LOVE to hear Jac’s recording.
Forgedaboudit. They put up what they want to put up.
So freakin insane!!! The decks are so stacked. I can’t handle it. Such a shady trainwreck….
I hope Tre makes it out on her feet. She’s a tough cookie.
MELISSA IS A LIAR! At the Posche Fashion Show, she miraculously remembers who Angelo is and claims she worked for him for “a week” because her cousin ran the place (starting at 7:45) http://youtu.be/lDsg3ZLcfDA).
In an interview posted yesterday, she now says she worked at Lookers “one day a week!”: http://youtu.be/UdB7V0sI1h4 (starting at 1:57).
I now believe she DID dance there, most likely “off the record” when she wasn’t bartending.
Excuses excuses excuses…same blog different day
Could barely get through first 30 minutes. You could tell that they were mainly gang up mainly on Teresa. They need a new story line please target other co workers skeletons in the closet.
I picked up a lie from Jacqueline. She claimed that after Teresa and she spoke in the RV and made peace, she claimed that later on, she heard Teresa cutting her down. Of course, Melissa lied and agreed that Teresa said it.
After Jacqueline supposedly heard Teresa make such a nasty remark about their friendship, why would Jacqueline be at the wine tasting, and hotel speaking about mending her friendship with Teresa? Jacqueline even discussed mending her friendship with Teresa in her talking head interview. Jacqueline is a liar and she’s just throwing anything out there about Teresa and hoping it sticks.
exactly! the only ammunition these people have is allegations of terrible things Teresa says. And the only “proof” they have is someone else agreeing with them!! I’m only 23 years old and I don’t witness this kind of backstabbing. even when i was in a frickin sorority!!!
Wendy Williams is on BET at midnight eastern time/ 11central, but I don’t know if it was the same show that was shown on Fox today featuring Teresa. If someone is up, they might check it out. The biggest news she gives is that Jacqueline and Kim D. speak every day for an hour and an hour and a half. Teresa basically says that she realizes it was Kim D. behind the set up of Melissa, without really naming her, and says that sometimes people have their own issues that they are upset about, alluding to Kim did it because she was pissed at Melissa. Teresa then adds that she will be vindicated when it is explained, and that she feels Jacqueline knew about it, as Kim and Jacqueline are very close. Remember Joe Gorga telling everyone that they will never attend another Posche fashion show, and this year’s is held at the Brownstone and now we hear how close Jacqueline is to her. Melissa tweeted last week, and Teresa still supports Kim D., but said nothing about the others. Melissa and Joe Gorga are idiots, and should realize that they have been played by Caroline and Jacqueline to get at Teresa.
I am in North Carolina and The Wendy William show will be on at 12:00 tonight by my DirectTV schedule . It has Teresa Giudice in the info. 329 BETHD
Just wondering if anyone knows who Skylar & Grace Alexis @QueensOf Media is? She/he wrote that Teresa was a C*** last night so I tweeted back and said “You are disgusting” Anyway, I woke up to a twitter war on my hands…but bowed out after a few tweets back and forth.
Scroll through some of the older Famewhorgas articles… She’s a transsexual blogger who claims to have inside sources, read the Macros… Melissa tells them what’s in the next ep and she leaks it, who entered into a twitter war with The Greeks and Pete Giudice after Joe Giudice made homophobic remarks. She’s very quiet when Richie and Joe Gorga do this though… She’s vicious! Block that loon immediately!
Here’s some stuff on QoM:
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/pete-giudice-takes-on-melissa-gorga-and-her-possy/
Thank you fame! Everyone needs to see this!
You do realize that is some pretty indicting evidence there—the tweet war– Pete Giudice enlisted Johnny the Greek and Penny Drossos to his aid. I couldn’t stomach the whole war- so I just glanced through, but the photo spoke volumes.
Those are the same who just happened to hire the ex Lookers bar employee for a day to ambush Melissa. Interesting indeed.
Think I saw another photo from over a year or two with Theresa and the couple partying at a club. Oh well…..it’s all just ugly no matter which angle you aim the lens.
Yep….queenz is buddy-buddy with Jax & MeGo(it seems they’re her “sources”)! Fame posted a blog about it, you can probably find it, on here, by doing a search. She HATES Teresa, with a passion! Best thing to do is ignore her…..do NOT engage! LOL! I’ve read some of her “twitter wars”, & she goes for the throat! There is no winning in a twitter war, with her. If you’re going to read her tweets, the best thing to do is refrain from replying to her. Sorry you were attacked!
This was our exchange: (I know Queenz wrote the part about getting paid in jest, but part me wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true!)
@QueenzOfMedia Teresa Teresa Teresa…if you don’t watch this and acknowledge what a cunt you are…i may upgrade you from a narcissist to a sociopath #RHONJ
@merikhill u are disgusting
@QueenzOf Media i’ll bite, why am i disgusting? *sips her tea*
@merikhill Do you have a job or is tweeting hate to Teresa Giudice your full time thing?
@QueenzOfMedia everytime you tweet me i get paid ten dollars
@merikhill ya from the Manzo’s and the Gorga’s
@QueenzOfMedia that’s a total of 30 dollars today! i can now afford to buy some new Mac Lip Glass. thanks boo!
Everyone should ignore QoM. Don’t follow them on Twitter, etc. They work for Melissa, spreading her lies.
done!
UGH I noticed those nasty people saying those things so I removed them from my twitter. I think I only added them at one point b/c I was trying to see what was being said. I cannot stand them, or he/she, it, whatever it is.
I think this is just a huge troll on the American public by Bravo Execs.. Where they film real lives until fame corrupts and they then film lives lived solely for the tv show and loses all semblance of a real life.. They are a flawed concept and I am very glad they are being exposed for what they are. Melissa and Joey G are like hitting the bottom of the barrel for an addict (hear that Bravo?) and I hope we as public viewers actually take a stand.. for real. not just yelling at the tv screen or letting it piss us off but to tune out. I can’t be the only one that feels like this?
Also,
They all hand a hand in it.. Every single one of the housewives.. The extent of their knowledge is what is in question. As far as Teresa while I don’t think she knew the end game (PFS) she knew something was up.. Bravo doesn’t just bring some stranger in to get mic’d up and film time to just casually say, “Oh hey your sister-in-law is dearly missed in the ole strip club” She had to of known he was brought on for a reason bigger then that day at the shop and she just chose to stay silent and let Bravo do whatever they were going to do.. Can’t say as I blame her for that but it is the truth.. They are all guilty to varying degrees of the travesty that has happened the last 2 seasons.
I’m just sick of NJ because they took the fun out of it.. ya know? it stopped being fun, it was ok to turn a blind eye to the shenanigans if we were getting a laugh out of it, but NJ went to far and took Dexters dark path into insanity..
Been boycotting the show since the 3rd season. I come to this blog, Stoopid housewives, & AllAboutTRH to read the recaps & comments. I had MeGo pegged from the moment I 1st saw her on my TV. Jax had me fooled for a while, though.
Does Bravo pick and choose which comments are seen by the public? I left a comment criticizing Andy’s biased behavior at te reunion, and it is not there…hmmmm
There has been quite a few of mine that has not been posted. Yesterday I could not “like” or “reply” on Teresa blog, I did not go to the others. I think it is unfair, I did not watch WWHL last night. If I cannot blog,like, or reply I am not givng them no rating by me.
I have not been back on their blogs either, I do not care what the other women have to say, Everytime they open their mouth it’s a lie anyway.
Same problem here!!
I have heard of them. I highly recommend checking out GregsLooseHole once in a while. He or she discovered that this Queen of Media, which Melissa was so proud to be interviewed by is evidently associated with the most profane and disturbing porn sites on the Internet.
This is one of the best thing’s I’ve read in a long time! That Missy, she’s so classy!
And both Missy and Joey can easily find jobs there in the future.
Tre is on Wendy now on BET. I’m in Jersey,it’s 12am here.
I still can’t get over how BRAVO is allowed to air Rosie’s comments towards the end of the Reunion. She bluntly said she’ll cut Teresa’s tongue out and kill her! WTF.. is that not a threat against someones life? She needs to be locked up in a mental institution. I’m surprised how much hate Teresa is getting on other blogs, when nobody seems to be calling out that BULLDYKE’s comments! Teresa needs a restraining order.
To make matters worse she gets rewarded for her vile behavior by getting a seat on the couch in part 2 of the reunion!!! Bravo makes me sick!!
Rosie is scary and definitely should have been escorted out, but gay slurs are still inappropriate. Thanks.
This was like watching Jerry Springer. I’m still team Teresa.She was pretty tame at the beginningwhile Caroline Tummy Tuck Manzo was a pig right outta the pen She was never thin Ive seen pictures from her wedding & she was a chubster with a bad poodle doo. Nothing but bad hair dos and blubber on this bitch. Picture of her & her kids 20 years ago & she looks like a fat duke in a Cosby sweater. 3 chins and short hair. Please. She lies more then Teresa screws up sayings. Lauren is still fat. I’m 5’4 and 118 curvey pounds I eat right & exercise daily. She is a spoiled lazy loathinasty fatass & she always will be. Disgraceful how she attacked Trees young children. What a bully. Shame on her. Spell “old maid” Lauren cuz that is you in 10 years.Tree is being to nice here. They gang banged her & she is the one apologizing. Rosie only makes the gay community look bad. Making physical threats on people on tv over words will not win you any dates IcN assure u of that.
Ola! I’ve been getting a lot of responses re Bravo and posting. We all know it’s rigged. I would suggest you email Teresa directly through her website or… and the Catholic school girl in me starts feeling anxious…. google Sirens Media. They are the production company who make RHONJ. I found them in two clicks. They are responsible for the actual filming i.e. they employ the crew and producers incl Cat Rodrigez who allegedly had a hand in the PFS debarcle (So Bravo hires production companies to make the franchise i.e. RHONY looks like it’s produced by Riochet Television but Bravo isn’t Bravo TV, Bravo is Bravo Media. Don’t try and contact them through the TV website look for Bravo Media/ NBC Universal. Seriously, I found email addresses in a second I just don’t want to post anything that could jeopardise this blog. All this info can be found at wikipedia….
i think they all feel like its ok to go for teresa no holes barred her kids her husband her finances her parents all have free reign.. well had it been me in her shoes i wouldnt have been so nice lets say that call me a b…..tch if u must but i would go for the jugular melissas smug face wouldnt be so smug.. we have watched for 2 seasons the constant name calling slagging off mean jibes and she has held her own and said nothing or snapped in a heated moment and lets face it pointed out the obvious and is a bully. well i say shes no more a bully than most of us would be in the same situation. her poor parents must be sick watching a son they raised to be a good man turn so bad on his own sister for his 15mins…. if my brother dared discuss my private affairs and allow his wife to berrate me in any way shape or form and i found out he was involved he would be dead to me family is a huge deal where im from we protect each other like a lion protects its cubs its a sad day when your own brother favours a family that would with no hesitation rip his sisters family apart. melissa truely thinks shes a victim shes been mollied so long she thinks the world should raise her like a queen…. she hasnt fooled me… i may not have much but my home is my own my car is my own my bills and taxes are paid… if they werent id shut my mouth with other peoples money woes but not her she goes on and on and on about her sister in law when she lives in a house thats not hers shes got her own money woes she was a stripper an open marriage and drug issues… jaqs got money issues a cheating husband and a wayward daughter… caroline plays the big i am shes got soooo many secrets of her own mob ties bd marriage money issues and the list goes on… if i was teresa and call me classless but id open a can of worms sooo big they wouldnt know what hit them as the saying goes whats good for the goose is good for the gander….
I am amazed that Rosie is getting such a pass from people for saying she will rip Teresa’s tongue out and that she was going to KILL her and was willing to go to jail for it. Rosie tweeted afterwards that she would protect her father’s honor always. To this day, she has absolutely no remorse whatsoever – how scary!
I get that she is protective of her deceased father but it is a very serious matter to so viciously and violently threaten not only physical harm but to KILL someone? Even I got scared and I was just watching it on TV. Yet, everyone seems to be saying to her basically “YOU GO GIRL!” What the hell is up with that??? Does this mean society today condones threats of killing somebody?? Even if you don’t like Teresa how do we humans get ourselves so riled up to think it is okay to threaten to KILL someone?? I am incredulous at the thought of this.
That threat, especially with the way she vowed she was willing to go to jail for it, I would think is legally admissable for at least a restraining order against her. Maybe the family already knows she obviously is volatile but I don’t know, between Jac and Rosie if I was Teresa I would be a little more than concerned. I am really interested to see how Bravo handles this hot potato on Sunday.

Interesting tweet from Jacqueline this morning. Apparently she recorded her conversations with Kim D the week before the fashion show. She is accusing Kim D of telling her that Teresa was setting Melissa up at the show.
Jacqueline Laurita @JacLaurita

Well, if Jacqueline tweeted that then she is admitting that she knew a week before the set up that it was going down, yet she didn’t stop it or warn Melissa, but became part of it in order to set up Teresa. This woman is sick, so many lies. She says she recorded it, milked Kim D. for information the week before–who does that? Yet, after admitting all of that, she didn’t warn Melissa. Joe Gorga says he is angry at his sister and hasn’t talked to her in a year, because she did not warn Melissa and stop the cameras. However, they are friends with Caroline and Jacqueline, and give them a pass, when Jacqueline is admitting she knew ahead of time. Please! These people are hanging themselves, because each one keeps revealing a different story and a different excuse. Bottom line if Kim D. was behind the set up, why do the Manzos and the Lauritas still support her and speak to her? This is just further evidence to me that they all knew about it except for Teresa. They were calling it a set up for Melissa, but they were actually setting up Teresa. Jacqueline doesn’t get it though she helped to hurt her friend and cause trouble in another family. They were paying back Teresa because of Teresa and Dina remaining friends. I don’t know how people don’t see that.
If Jacqueline believed Teresa was going to set up Melissa, why didn’t they warn her? Jacqueline said the night of the fashion show that a “mutual friend” was texting her that night, telling her what was going on and Angelo was going to out Melissa and embarrass her. Now, she says that she was speaking to Kim D., and recording her, the week before the fashion show, and knew about the set up. In Jacqueline’s texts to Teresa, which Teresa published, Jacqueline said Kim will not save you at the reunion. Angelo, Kim D., and others have come out and said that Teresa had nothing to do with the set up. Jacqueline keeps coming up with another scenario or lie of how things went down, once a new piece of information is revealed. Now that Teresa told Wendy Williams that Jacqueline talks to Kim D. everyday for an hour, Jacqueline is coming out with yet another lie about what she knew and when. So, which was it, a mutual friend texted her the night of the fashion show, or Kim D., told her for the whole week before the fashion show? Jacqueline is a liar, and is disgusting.
Why anyone would believe Jacqueline is beyond me? She is clearly behind or involved in the set up, so that she could make Teresa the scapegoat. She has told a few different versions at this point, and yet Kim D. denies Teresa’s involvement. I wish Kim D. would speak up and clear up the lies, but I doubt that will happen because she is having her fashion show at the Brownstone this month (not sure of exact date, might even be today). The Gorgas are stupid to believe Caroline and Jacqueline, unless they willingly went along with all this to set up Teresa, then it makes sense that they continue to blame Teresa and speak to the others. If this is the case, it only shows what low life the Gorgas are, because they know the truth, don’t care, because they are helping the others to “take Teresa down”.
I would only like to make one more point at this time, and that is how at the reunion, Jacqueline was calling Teresa a liar, and swore on her “son, Nicholas, who is autistic”. She swore on his life that she was telling the truth. She didn’t swear on Ashley’s life, or C.J.’s life, only Nicholas’ life. In my opinion, this is just another indication of how she is trying to garner sympathy for herself because of Nicholas, by swearing on his life to gain credibility. The autism issue is supposed to garner sympathy for her and her family, and be her “get out of jail” card excuse for all of her wrongdoings. I firmly believe this is the reason she went to People and did the story when she did. It was to garner sympathy from the public, as she has become unpopular, and perhaps convince Bravo to keep her on the show, and lastly, explain her out of control behavior even after the show stopped filming. Now,, she also swore on his life at the reunion, so people will believe she is telling the truth, and Teresa is lying, because “poor” Jacqueline, would never swear on her sick son, if she was lying. I am beyond disgusted with this woman and her lies and excuses. I believe she is capable of anything. As she herself told Teresa, “if I get hurt, I get mean and nasty”. This is exactly what has happened, and she is despicable.
Another great comment isole. You always deliver!
She needs to have twitter surgical removed. She is a fool.
Lol! I told her on Facebook a while back the she needed a twitter intervention!
It blew me away how she seemed to revel in Andy telling her she looked crazy on twitter then used “I’m just impulsive” as a cute trait to justify her actions, implying that she’s just honest…. somehow she equates telling some one they’re an arsehole for no good and valid reason as good. She has seriously gone loop the loop. I don’t know about anyone else but my Mum told me to think before I speak. Above is the perfect example of why these women need to be moderated by Bravo, she’s messing with THEIR story.
I wrote this on another blog and thought I would share my thoughts here. I posted on Bravo as well but, we all know how that goes!
Both Melissa and Joe Gorga are Malignant Narcissists. Melissa has the edge because she is more intelligent than her husband. Note: I am in no way saying Melissa is intelligent but compared to him she’s Steven Hawking. The relationship will implode. It probably already has. He is running out of money and she will find someone to pick-up the slack. She will blame it on his volatility (which we all have witnessed) and will probably claim abuse, once again making herself out to be the victim. He is running out of his usefulness for Melissa.
Melissa has a huge army of flying monkeys (her sisters and their extended families at first and now the Manozs, Lauritta’s and the Wakiles, all of who suffer differing degrees of narcissism, I’m telling you these HWs shows run RAMPANT with MNs) and these flying monkeys are doing her bidding. Joe Gorga has no one–now. His wife and her monkeys saw to that. It wasn’t difficult to do after Teresa had 4 children to attend, a husband having a breakdown and possibly going to jail, a TV show, a business to run, a bankruptcy, lawsuits and possibly losing her family’s home. Throw into this Hellish mix trying to figure out WHO was divulging all her personal information out to the public and dealing with “friends” and “family” that would all sell her down the road for fame and money.
Both Teresa and Joe Gorga have stated that the disintegration of their relationship accelerated when Teresa’s attention waned after his 1st child was born and Teresa had just had her 3rd. Joe Gorga was not happy with the amount of fawning received from his sister over his FIRST BORN and constantly reminds her how he supposedly worshiped Gia. His narcissism would not let him have empathy towards the demands of Teresa’s life. Teresa did not have as much time to fawn over her brother and his family and I am sure her parents had to give more time to Teresa to help her do the show, do appearances for Bravo and her business etc.Melissa and her flying monkeys pounced on this and instead of being a “good wife”, as Teresa would say, and explain to him the hardship of mothering 3 then 4 children under the age of 8 and juggling everything else, they decided to make Teresa the villain. They turned the fact that Teresa was fighting from all ends to keep her life together as a slight to the angel from God. That is where the “we’re your real family, Joey” germinated. They ramped up their false worship of him to garner the “angel form God’s” full favor and in turn cutting him off from his original source of ego stroking which was Teresa and his parents. The malignant narcissist needs a constant flow of fawning over and ego stroking like a heroin junkie needs a fix. Joe Gorga, like a junkie, needed to find another dealer. Narcissism is also the reason Melissa needed to prance around in a bikini and fool old guys with hundred dollar bills for “just handing them a drink”. Have you ever heard of any man forking over 100 dollars just because someone was cute…mind you this was pre-breast enhancement, nose job,lip enhancement and professional make-up artisits…
And that is how Melissa has been able to fool quite a few people. She is the Queen Narcissist in this theater of the absurd and everyone on this show is using the other for their own narcissistic needs. Trust me, Melissa and Caroline will not remain “friends” for very much longer, there cannot be 2 Queens.
I am also probably the only person that feels badly for Juicy. This man was so esteemed in the first 2 seasons because of how he doted on his wife and daughters and, he deserved it! This must have made the Joe Gorga INSANE!!! HE is the “angel from God”! It is apparent that he was always pitting himself against Juicy with Teresa, and, with her heart of gold, she tried to appease both him and her husband. Juicy saw through him and probably went over board trying to point out to his wife that Joe Gorga was not an angel from God but a complete ass who needed his sister’s and parent’s constant attention. Juicy is a man’s man, he does not have time for momma’s boys who think they are angels from God. Teresa and Juicy DID help Joe Gorga start his business and instead of acknowledging their help and being thankful, like a NORMAL person, all he gave is his resentment. After all, an angel from God is perfect and does not need help! Acknowledging someone has helped you (in the narcissistic mind) is confirmation that you are not the personification of perfection (like an angel from God) but something a little more human.
Did Juicy cheat? I don’t know. I hope he would not bring that kind of dishonor to his wife or children. That being said, he was going through a crisis of identity. He was feeling less than a man, a failure. Add to that the entire world gawking at his failure and judging with a harshness unequal to anything the average person could imagine and each step of his downfall appearing weekly on a national television show which is dissected on a scale that never existed prior to social media and the electronic age. If he did in fact cheat, and I do not think he did, I would not fault Teresa for forgiving him. That is love. None of us are perfect, none of us, and we all react to situations differently. If we are hurt by our loved ones we must look into ourselves and pray we can have the empathy to understand their actions, IF they ask forgiveness and are truly contrite. I see how he looks in his daughter’s eyes and how he tenderly stood with Teresa at Jamie’s wedding wishing for world peace and…maybe a little boy…that is not the heart of an evil man. He may be rough and not as articulate as our dime store novels portray how a loving man should act but I would take Juicy over any of those fictional, silver tongued lotharios any day.
And who has suffered the most from all of these over blown egos vying for attention? Teresa. Everything they say she is guilty of is their projection of their actions onto her. Why, because of her undying loyalty, even to those that have not earned it nor know how to treasure someone who would put others ahead of themselves. It is a foreign concept to the MN because the universe needs to revolve around them, they have no time for others unless than can be of service to them and once that person has fulfilled their purpose they seek to DESTROY them by any means. The are cunning and crafty and masters at projection to throw the sent of of who the rat actually is.
I do not want Teresa to reconcile with her brother or any of these people. A malignant narcissist cannot get “better” with any amount of therapy. The only way to heal yourself is to completely remove yourself from their life. I pray for Teresa and her family every night, what has been done to them is beyond atrocious and the entire world has been seduced into thinking what is good is evil and what is evil is good.
Thank you for letting me unload my thoughts.
Absolutely LOVE and agree with all your points! I’ve always felt badly for Juicy Joe. The Angel from God will get his overdue karma when Melissa leaves him. She’ll blame Teresa, naturally, hence adding more discord & hatred to The Angel from God’s heart and feeble mind.
I like Joe Giudice, he loves his children. I do believe Teresa has a good husband, not perfect,but who does. This show has been a hard hit to him and Teresa. I think he and Teresa are alike in the fact that alot has been left unspoken because of family respect. Joe has a strong and good woman and he know this and I do wish the best for both of them.
What an excellent, clear-headed awesome comment. I wish there was someplace you could publish this where it would reach even more people who care about what has happened to Teresa, Juicy, and their family. I agree with you in that I feel Teresa would be better off not reconciling with Joe Marco. One of my family members is no longer a part because of evil doings and the rest of us are so much better off. It is sad and it takes a long while to process and grieve the loss (it is like a death only worse), but in the long run, it makes for a much healthier and happier life for all involved.
I also like Juicy – he doesn’t take crap and he is a man, albeit beaten down a bit now, but he still keeps his head up. For those that don’t like him and think that those who do are crazy, so be it. To each his own. He supposedly is going to respond about a plea deal this week and I wish him the best of luck. What he did was wrong – he does need to pay for it but I really hope it is not too bad. Unlike Rosie, he did not threaten to kill someone – he just tried to get a drivers license in order to be able to drive to get to work – big difference.
Your statement that the “entire world has been seduced into thinking what is good is evil and what is evil is good” speaks volumes to me. It resonates to my very core as this is what I have been thinking for many months my – shaking my head in disbelief. What have we become?
Thank you for such an intelligent “unloading”.
Thank you all for your word kind words. I’ve been placing this on every blog I post on. Feel free to copy and paste it to any blogs you like. I really wish I could get it to Teresa and maybe she could have some clarity. When you deal w/one MN, let alone 4, you can feel like you’re loosing your mind. Right is wrong, black is white, up is down.
I feel the same about the world we live in right now and now I see that I am not entirely alone and for that I am thankful. Maybe there is hope, we just can’t lie done and give up to the bullies in this world!
Power to the non-bullies! Lol!
Oh, and, if you are so inclined, PRAY! A LOT!!!!
I reposted your comment on Twitter to Teresa Giudice, Pete Giudice, that Priscilla (Tre’s makeup artist), Johnny the Grk and a few other Teresa’s fans who have big followings. It’s getting retweeted already. I also went and reposted on All About the Housewives, then went to Stoopid Housewives and already found my twitter repost reposted there, lol! Hope it keeps getting out there. @Greg’s Loose Hole (love to read his tweets) sent back this: Greg’s Loose Hole @GregsLooseHole
@Maggs1221 @Teresa_Giudice @PeteGiudice @GraceIn2013 @biggestbucsfan @WillLoveInc Maggie, this is best analysis I have seen to date. TY
AWESOME POST! I agree with every single word and you put it so eloquently. Just Awesome- you should send that to Teresa directly
Adios….thank you! I agree re juicy joe. Indeed, this man has had his finances strewn across the headlines (Melissa or Jac w a Danielle assist?). For an Italian man – like my own joe – that’s a tough pill to swallow. I think this season he’s so fed up w the bravo producers and the nonsense heWANTS to show his worst side when the mics and cameras are on. U can see him tiring of it in each scene. He’s not tired of Teresa – he says, “u don’t need them, u got us”. He’s just sick and tired of getting the bash and seeing his wife get the bash and being unable to “take matters in his own hands”. That’s my take at least and I for one still vote for juicy. And I think Teresa does too.
Teresa said in one of her blogs (can’t remember which one) that she made Joe film when he didn’t want to and she’s not going to do that season 5.
An insider said: “The producers hate Teresa because they think she is stupid and Joe won’t play along; in fact, he acts more inappropriately just to piss them off. He couldn’t care less how he comes across.”
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/producer-driven-scripted-drama-and-bravos-real-housewives-series/
On the phone call between Joe Giudice and the mystery caller in Napa, a former post production supervisor said that Joe Giudice wasn’t talking to a women on the phone:
“The call was 100% innocent. He called Teresa a c*** because he didn’t want to be there filming, and was taking it out on her. He had a legal mess at home he needed to deal with but was contractually obligated to be there.”

Bravo what u said is right on point especially the part abt tre forgiving juicy,lets also remember that it was the money he made that got tre the life sytle that got her on the show.i am also a fan of juicy and i think he is more of a man than all of the men in that show put together.
adioslunatic, AWESOME comment, I’m reposting on Twitter (if you don’t mind).
Have at it, Maggs. This charade has to end. A very good person (not perfect but, who the Hell is) is being destroyed. It’s like watching the Salem witch trials!
That is why everybody is up in arms. I have never seen such bullying towards a family and what makes it more disgusting is that it is encouraged by the Bravo network. They only care about gay bullying. NOBODY should be bullied, threatened, set-up and made to look bad. It’s disgusting.
Magg1221 – thanks to you I just went to Teresa’s twitter and feel so much better – she is posting beautiful pics of behind the scenes for her new cookbook FABULICIOUS GRILLING – she looks awesome but best of all there is a pic of her daughter – OMG What a gorgeous child! So glad she is doing positive things whle all the other trolls are still spewing their garbage on Twitter. Teresa – you rock!
adioslunatic, I TOTALLY agree with you about Juicy Joe too, I feel like I’m the only one who likes him too, glad there are 2 of us, lol! I’d take a man’s man ANY day over a mama’s boy. I’m rooting Juicy and Tre stay married for years & years.
I like Juicy Joe! He has his moments where he comes off as a total ass, but I commend him for not being a part of the drama like the other house husbands. Think about it, he never does a talking head interview and he doesn’t take part in any of the social media bulls**t!
You can tell he’s only on the show for his wife! Unlike the other fame-whores. Ugh.
When they showed him cradling the baby in his arms watching her fall asleep taking her bottle I was a puddle! The PURE love emanating from him was heart-wrenching! It made me cry like a baby… I truly believe they are going to come out the other end of this even stronger. Teresa has grown so much as a woman and she is hanging w/a better crowd now and she will become more articulate and the “classy” lady she always wanted to be, she was just hanging around low renters disguised as high rollers! She does fine when she is not being bombarded by all that evil energy in one room. I actually sit and watch holding my Rosary! Lmao!
Underneath Joe G.’s rough – very rough exterior – is a teddy bear with a huge heart. He clearly loves his girls. I am dreading Sunday when Andy confronts him with that question about the call and Jac starts in about Teresa finding him in the office and all the other stuff when he and Joe Marco start shouting at each other. I’m so nervous for them – Teresa and Joe G, that is. Like you said, I am inclined to pray – and I will!!!
I thought that was sweet, too! I thought it was weird when only Teresa and Gia went to the field day and he took the younger 3 down to their summer place. I didn’t imagine he might be an actual “daddy,” because he’s usually so gruff, but that scene with Audriana was wonderful. There’s more to him than anger and attitude.
Don’t laugh Adios (about watching holding your Rosary)- I say the St. Michael Prayer for her all the time…..
Oh, I love the guy. He is the only real man on the show, and he doesn’t give a crap what anybody thinks of him. I fell in love with him when he said he was going to go stick Milania in the snow head first so that her lips froze together if she couldn’t be nice. Who do you think Mr. Gorga Senior would rather hang out with. A guy who makes his own sausage and wine and minds his own business, or a midget who likes to strip at gay night at Six Flags. It’s a good thing Italians don’t have the same way of expressing their shame as the Japaneese as Mr. Gorga surely would have fallen on his sword over his son’s antics by now. Could Joey Gorga be any more of a putz? No. He is a disgrace, a Turaise. (sp) I don’t know what the correct spelling of that word is but my husband says the lowest person in Italy is a too-raise. It is a guy who tastes the manure for the farms to determine the different grades, 1,2 and 3.
Three being the cheapest, of course. He swears it is true. Joey is lower than a manure grader. He is the manure.
I’ve always had a soft spot for him, he’s inappropriate at times but a man who defends his wife in a 3 against one senario (the poker game) is alright in my books. In that one scene he exposed the lies that they told about how they got their business starts. Love him. You can tell he’s just over the bullshit!
once again adioslunatic, I totally agree with you, I remember that scene and it was only seconds they showed Juicy but it was so touching, you can see the love he has for his kids. ok, I’m choked up again, lol!
I have a question – Didn’t anyone else think it to be odd that Jacqueline said she overheard Teresa say “I hate Jacqueline.” through an open window of the RV AFTER they had their make-up scene and Melissa piped in, “I heard it too.” Isn’t it questionable that even occurred? Don’t you think if it did happen, that Jacqueline would have gone ballistic and so would have Melissa? Maybe I’m wrong but what a bunch of BS!
All BS. Jacqueline and Melissa got together and came up with that lie and the lie that Teresa twisted Melissa’s arm. Their depravity is shocking. They know if they say it on camera, people will believe it. Bravo needs to starting editing out the blatant lies or this show is history.
Fame – EXACTLY! They think if they say it on camera it will be accepted as truth. And if we think about it – if u asked someone what Teresa did wrong this season they would say 1)she told her brother is wife might leave him now that she’s out in clubs all night. But Teresa never said it n camera – she said it off camera AND in response to her brother telling her that Juicy was cheating on her. 2) that she sells stories to the tabs. But she doesn’t get paid for “stories” only for pictures. And let’s remember who sold Dinas charity ladybug out – to a blogger who paid her nothing … It was JAC!! Her own SIL. hmmm. Resemble much, Jac.
I know there are others but u take my point. They say it on film so it has to be so. Ugh!
And Melissa – what a trip! “u don’t get to be the victim ..l I’m the victim…”. Didn’t u see me and my “woe is me” face all season? Lol. Holy crap… I love love love (muah. Muah muah) my SIL so much and we rarely have problems. But when we disagree, is going to be tough for my husband to choose a side. So guess what? WE DON’T ASK HIM TO!! What a concept, aye?
FAME…I’m watching RHONJ S4reunion and most if not all of Jacs bravado is cloaked in lies.
Another example: when Jac claims that she heard Teresa through the RV window say: “I hate Jacqueline. I can’t even look at her. She’s …..”. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT CARO SAID TO TRE IN CHICAGO AT JAIMES WEDDING! “I can’t even look at you”. Oh Lordy, jacqueline filed in on her soggy mental rolodex. Then like a Tourette’s patient she blurts it out. When ur under pressure ur mouth goes on automatic and seeks the easiest words to say. Comments previously made will be the first up for recall. The nearest in ur memory banks.
You know I wondered that too… It seemed sincere when Tre apologized to her but idk. I’m still iffy on that whole situation. You’d think since Jax has no issue ruining any other ‘good time’ that she’d be inclined to of ruined that ‘good moment’ when she heard that. Instead she acts like she didn’t want to fight again. Whatever, I’m not falling for it.
Jacqueline wouldn’t know the truth if they shot it into her brain with a botox needle. She is to f-ed up on pills and booze to remember what day it is.
lol gessiswtf that is a good one.
Actually Melissa said Teresa was telling her, are we to believe for a moment that Teresa after having that moment with Jacqueline would go and tell Melissa whom I am sure she doesn’t trust that she hates Jak… It doesn’t make sense, this two are really trying hard to take Teresa down, is like the comment about the extensions, both of them agreeing on that too, I actually feel sorry for them, it seems to me the only thing they talk about is Teresa, feeding eachother venom ..Yuck !!!
ITA… Posted above. Tha she same thing Caroline said to tre in Chicago at JAIMES wedding isn’t it? Jac,l,lol. She didn’t realize she was just blurting something familiar or easy to say. And the firs thing her mind brought up was the line Caro said in Chicago : “I can’t even look at you”.
wow, Teresa just announced her 4th cookbook will be on shelves in the spring. BBQ Fabulicious. Count me in, I will definitely buy a BBQ cookbook from her, living in California we BBQ all the time and Teresa always tweets pics of what they grill and it looks DELISH! I also have her Milania haircare and LOVE the Leave In Treatment, stuff is awesome on my thin, permed, colored hair. instand shine, softness, silkiness and it doesn’t weight it down.
Here are Teresa’s tweets and pics links:

Happy day! I’m shooting the photos for my 4th cookbook!!! FABULICIOUS GRILLING! — great skinny summertime recipes. Wanna sneak peek?
OMFG my favorite little toddler Milania ! Do u see her at tre’s feet in the first pic!!!
I’m so glad she called Caroline out. I remember in season 2 reunion Andy told Caroline you lost a lot weight, what’s your secret? She simply said she’s eating smaller portions. Then this season when Lauren was constantly talking about her weight issues she called out both of her parents getting the lap band. I had asked my mom “Didn’t Caroline say she was eating smaller portions?”. Haha! Lauren made it appear like she wasn’t going to do the lap band but as soon as that episode aired the very next day I saw “Lauren Manzo sheds weight from lap band” on Yahoo! I was like wow!!! Hypocrites! Kathy!!! Wow!!!! She showed her TRUE colors! She revealed her true self and I was happy to see it because I knew after Season 3 Reunion that that woman was up to no good. She will be crawling for Teresa’s forgiveness. Her nose job is HORRID. I believe she got a lap band too! Teresa wasn’t making that up! I believe Kathy was going to give Richie a divorce because not only is he disgusting BUT he has a thing for Teresa and Kathy knows it. I can’t wait to hear the real reason Joe and Melissa moved out their home. It’s because they owed the bank $3 million and the bank took their home. They were living in it w/o the banks knowledge and they pretty much kicked them out. Now their living in their Jersey Shore home we saw them in when they had that party and everyone was drunk and poor Antonia could of drowned if someone landed on her when they were acting like ingrates jumping into the pool. Jacqueline was a class act. She is truly disturbed and needs mental evaluation. Did anyone hear her ask Teresa “Do you want to snuggle?” LOL!!! WTF?! Where did that come from? Lady is cray cray. haha! I love this BLOG!! Fame you’re a GENIUS!!!
They were doing whip its that night. It is a big fad in L.A. Unless you believe that they just happened to have 50 bottle of whipped cream hanging around. losers. fools. scum.
That’s what Demi Moore was doing right? Jeez it’s a high school thing!
Kathy should get an award for her portrayal of a sweet Italian mom. I never heard such disrespect fo an aunt and an uncle! Rosie needs some kind of help, and she should have been escorted out after that outburst. No wonder Teresa tried to keep her family off the show!
My sainted MIL may she rest in peace rolled her eyes, shook her head and said, ‘scarole (shirt for escarole that slimy a spinach type stuff – looks like pond scum. That’s what she would hae thought of that kind of disrespect.
Jax is messy. She needs meds. Tre is done with her and that is killing her. Thats why she wanted a snuggle. Did anyone see the Text messages? She wants Tre and when Tre does not respond, she gets dirty.
I’m asking a question (kinda) but did anyone else notice the look on Caroline’s face when Teresa went to sit on the other couch? She looked like she had just gotten the nod from the cool table that it was ok to sit w them at lunch. Am I the only one who saw it that way???
It made sense to me because I think Caroline does secretly envy Teresa and wishes she had the b…lls tre had. Oh well..that how I see it…. Anyone else?
I did notice that look ! Shock? Confused? scared? What was that?
So true! And she said “Hi buddy,” or something, and it didn’t sound sarcastic— she actually sounded happy! Interesting. I think you’re right. She hates that she likes Teresa!?!
Yeah yeah. “hey buddy”. ” hey pal”. Right? Ty I didn’t think I imagined that,
And then Jac says, appropros of nothing other than the wayward synapses flying together in her brain, “do u want to snuggle”. All I can do is lol
Are the Gorgas really living in there shore house?
I doubt that. They owe $2.3 million or something like that on their home, but I haven’t heard that they are in risk of foreclosure. When it was under construction in 2008-2009, they were living in it without an occupancy permit; but they converted from a construction loan to mortgage later and it is legally their primary residence. They refinanced it in 2011 to a lower rate, which reduced their monthly payment by about $4,000 per month, down to $12,000 per month. They are trying to sell it, but not because they want to get away from Teresa as Melissa claims, but because they are overextended and never intended to live there… it was a flip, but the housing market collapsed and they haven’t been able to sell it. They’re asking about $1 million above the fair market price, so they’ll be there a while unless they lower the price.
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/melissa-says-we-pay-our-bills/
Weren’t they turned down by a Jonas Brother????
http://starcasm.net/archives/161779
I could be wrong but I thought they moved out to live in their shore home because they couldn’t afford to live in their other home.
Fame, I really believe they are living beyond their means and will be going down. Do you know anything about how much she has made from her music? Also does Melissa get paid for her interviews?
$0.00
Someone e-mailed me and said that Jac received $25K for her latest interview on Good Morning America. Someone on a board I was reading said this about ‘On Display’, which I think was Melissa’s best selling song on i-Tunes:
On Display sold 8,000 copies. I’m not sure how much of the profit is shared with iTunes and whoever else, but at 99 cents each, Melissa didn’t make much off of that one [Trixy-Lou, June 15, 2012, Bravo Message Board].
According to something called Music Biz Academy -
Artist iTunes Royalty (without wholesale markup)
$0.99 download single song price to the consumer less $0.29 to Apple
left $0.70 x 12% (net artist net rate) = $0.084 cents per download
So Melissa only made $672 off of On Display?
I don’t know how to confirm this… just what I read and copied to here:
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/melissa-says-we-pay-our-bills/
So Melissa sold out her husband’s family (take note it is not her family that is being destroyed) for a $65,000 season 4 Bravo salary (can’t confirm this; just was posted here in a comment without a link; Joe’s salary was $45,000 for season 4), and what looks like less than $2,000 netted from i-Tunes sales.
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/caroline-manzo-jacqueline-laurtia-and-kathy-wakile-will-not-return-for-season-5-of-rhonj-2/
Lauren wore the dress of her mother at the reunion. Caroline had the same dress on at Melissa’s on display radio debute party.
Reblogged this on hazel59 and commented:
Teresa, I think Wendy was more rude than Anderson Cooper..Really??? I feel like I have to apologize for her, she didn’t give you a chance to day sh**…I like Wendy, but she was way out of line, you haven’t changed…except for being put on the defensive/offensive from all that has been coming your way..She was right about Jacqueline/Kathy, they don’t bring anything to it…and for changes***it is Caroline Manzo who has changed and that ain’t pretty. Wendy love, please get your facts straight, I heard you don’t even watch the show…Teresa, keep that head high no matter who is coming at you!! And from what I been reading, just worry about your own family, Melissa is digging the hole deeper and deeper!!! Bravo should be ashamed..not only did they let this ugliness play out, in the end, they set you up…they should let you go…there is a trust level that has been broken, this is INTENT to harm or cause damages, if Melissa/Joe or anyone else really saw what was done to you, apologize for blaming you, it might serve ok..but Melissa is milking it, I’m not a stripper over and over…we get it, but totally ignores she made your life hell for it, and totally distanced your brother and you…she is garbage!!! Wendy, I’m so disappointed..at least Anderson had the class and respect to set his behavior straight, you need to do the same..I saw Dina today, and you heard it from her own mouth…shame on you!!!
Nice work!!!
I don’t know if we can post links to others blogs on here, although I dont read the Chirping Twit on a regular basis, I think this blog also made some excellent points. http://thechirpingtwit.com/2012/10/02/rhonj-la-destruccion-de-una-familia-the-destruction-of-a-family/#comments
itunes $1 a song of that Mel gets if she is lucky ten cents……..per download. n the cost of producing n uploading can not possibly be recouped via itunes….of 3 failed songs…..
now onto the false info that she had 1 as a top 4 itune song…. i can upload a song n place it in a category… have 50 people buy it on a monday the lowest buying day of the week and whoola on tuesday i have a #1 song on itunes in my subcategory…..
you also pay itunes a fee to upload n manage your music ….
go look her music history up on itunes its a bomb
Thanks for the info Chris.
Help… i am looking for the exact wording of the rhonj reunion fight where the exploration of gia was brought up….or a link of someone discussing it…
Caroline shouted at Teresa, “You’re whoring out your daughter in magazines!”
That was disgusting… But nothing surprise me from those women anymore….. I found this quote about frienship, I am a very loyal friend, and I have only a few that I trust and they trust me, but to me the most importan thing is this – The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. – Ulysses S. Grant
#rhonj Manzo said: “You whored out UR 11 yr old daughter in an article.GIA has an article out in the younger version of In touch or In Style was it caroline or lauren??
It was Caroline who said that.
Caroline
Chris… thanks for the info
Found this blog written in 2010, some of the comments are quite astounding. http://www.realfauxhousewives.com/2010/09/13/newest-addition-melissa-gorga-is-also-a-dead-beat-who-doesnt-pay-her-bills-on-time-and-may-also-have-foreclosure-problems/
Thanks I wonder!
Thanks iwonder, Loved the comments, very telling!!
Did not like Wendy’s interview telling Teresa she has changed and should get off reality TV… it was an ugly, dark season with no fun bought by Melissa. Why shouldn’t Melissa get off reality tv… in all the gin joints in all the world, she had to walk into Teresa’s right. That Wendy Williams is a joke. How has the response been to her? Will we see a Anderson Copper style apology because I think it’s deserved.
Hi Sackem – I highly doubt WW will apologize – and really, I don’t think she is all that relevant anyway, so no worries! Prior to AC having his talk show, he was considered by some as a “legitimate” journalist. Now, not so much – he is really digging himself down below for ratings. Wendy Williams was never considered “legitimate” – more of a tabloid reputation.
Opinion should be left out if you’re in the media. What’s the point of bringing Teresa on? To milk ratings but bash her over the head a bit as a thank you. I’m glad to hear that her programme is considered trash over there!
I just remebered that tre tweeted that her hair was going to look wonderful at the reunion bcos she was going to be wearing her haircare product,that was why melissa called her hair a weave.she is such a bitch.pls excuse my language
Chioma: you know I just put that together when I read this. Wow! See they do play tit-for-tat. Melissa says that Teresa called some club owner and told ihm not to hire her (she made like Tree was going batshit crazy on the guy of course). I don’t think it’s true, but I think Melissa is paranoid and does think Tree is working behind the scenes to sabatoge her. So, with that headset, Melissa lashes out in the most inapproriate and unecessary ways. Oddly, where I live saying “I’m gonna smack your weave off” or something of that nature is funny. It didn’t impact me at all. In fact, I’m thinking of ordering some Milania hair care products. They look good. Thanks for putting that connection there.
First of all, I would like to commend you FAME on this website. The amount of time and work that goes into creating something like this is mind boggling…so kudos to you. Secondly, I am appauled by the producers lack of respect for the viewing audience. This season of RHONJ was so contribed and ridiculous that I have stopped enjoying it the way that I did when it first aired. The whole story line about the excessive press that Teresa was doing in the tabloids and the constant berating of her morals and values by the other wives was so one-sided. And as we now see, very hypocritical judging from the new US Weekly article featuring all of the housewives (minus Teresa) and Jac’s People article. Then all of the inconsistencies in the filming and the airing of the various scenes out of sequence makes us question if we as viewers are being set up. Here we are arguing and verbally fighting with one another over some fabricated foolishness. And while I’ll be the first to agree that getting that emotional over a TV show is a little silly and childish. It is hard not to react when you see a woman being ganged up on by other women for entertainment. I liked all of the housewives from inception, even Danielle. But its something about Melissa that I never really liked. She seems so fake and flighty. I’m glad your exposing her because the whole mess that has culminated between Teresa and her brother was so unneccessary. Fame from a reality (I used that term lighlty) TV show should never be worth the destruction of your own family. But then again, Melissa’s family is in tact, so she doesn’t care. Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to see when all of her lies surface and quickly diminish her 15 minutes of fame so that she can see the error of her selfish ways. Teresa is not perfect and she never claimed to be. In fact, I think that is part of her charm, she is so perfectly imperfect. But the ladies on the show are magnifying her flaws to the audience as if we never saw them, which only makes them look crazy. In an effort to highlight her imperfections they’ve revealed their own, and that maybe the only highlight of this whole season.
You are so right HoustonHousewife. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
