Melissa Gorga’s Entire Family Hates Teresa Giudice
January 17, 2013 284 Comments
A source, who wishes to remain anonymous, e-mailed the following to Fame-Whorgas:
“From a local Jersey girl, I appreciate what you are doing. I am actually from Toms River where Melissa is from and I’ve seen quite a few girls just like her, so I had her number from the beginning. I know about her being shipped off to Florida — and in Toms River, whenever anyone has to “move to Florida”, it usually has something to do with trying to live a sober life. I don’t know if that was the case with her, but I am sure someone out there knows.
“A friend of mine actually told me that Melissa has a cousin (her name is TreyC) who can actually sing, and she asked Melissa to film with her and Melissa declined. All about family right?
“Melissa’s entire family hates Teresa. I went to high school with her cousin Tara Marco and she is always posting negative things about Teresa. How could they ever sincerely make up when the people closest to Melissa are constantly bashing her?
“I hear things here and there, but since Melissa has been on the show, the Marcos has really gone out of their way to protect her and her secrets. Apparently, they really do believe she can sing and she is the pride and joy of the family, which I am sure has fed her narcissism.
“It’s also 100% true that Melissa stopped associating with all of her friends since she got on the show because she is afraid of what they know — we have a few mutual friends. My friend [name edited out] was close to Melissa, and she told me she has reached out to Melissa many times and to congratulate her on the show, but she ignores all of her old friends now.
“To my knowledge, Bravo has not contacted anyone that I know personally. If Bravo wants to find them, I don’t think it would be all that difficult. I would imagine that they must know!
“I have a feeling that more and more people will be coming forward, especially when season 5 airs!”

jealousy is the Marco’s motto…family color… green with envy = in my opinion
Seemingly jealous of her own cousin (treyC) as well. Declines to film with her, yet admonishes Tre for not including the Same. Hypocrite!!
But that is the thing, Tre did include them on family events that were filmed — house warming, christening and Bravo edited them out. They weren’t interested in them until they created bring Teresa storyline down.
absolutely she did! I remember one little clip, I’m sorry I cant remember when it was, but it was Teresa’s house warming. , in the season after,it was aired, so maybe season 3, there is a flash back to it and Teresa gets Joey up and says, “don’t we look alike?” Melissa yells “no” Even then, so mean.
I remember that. Melissa is mean period!
Melissa’s cousin Tara acts like she wants to be apart of the show too. Their so manipulated by her they don’t even realize it! Even if Melissa is all about her “family” the attention is still based upon who? Melissa! And stupidly they feed into it because they also want to be seen and become fame whores. Nobody is a saint and everyone has their flaws and also made their fair share of mistakes but if Melissa never tried to ruin Teresa by giving Danielle personal information about Teresa’s financial problems along w/ minor family problems Melissa had w/ Teresa all because Melissa was JEALOUS and wanted to be on the show this site wouldn’t even exist and maybe Melissa would have been more liked or, maybe Melissa wouldn’t even exist to Bravo. LOL! Who knows!
Now that Melissa is acting like a saint along with acting like she cares about Teresa and trying to mend her husbands family’s problems (that she caused) people are feeding into it. Not trying to look at the entire picture. I once was a Teresa hater. I didn’t like the way she did Danielle. I was team Melissa but after her first reunion something didn’t sit well with me and she came off very snide and, sneaky. Then I was on a thread and this chick messaged me w/ a link and it was the Famewhorga’s site. Let me tell you, ALL of the things I was puzzled about were ANSWERED.
If Melissa was a stripper who cares but don’t deny it. Just proves that she has a lot to hide. Look at NeNe Leakes she was a stripper. She never denied it and she hasn’t made that ruin who she is now. Just shows that Melissa apparently is hiding A LOT of stuff and when all her demons are exposed she’s going to hate how she went about this and regret how she did her sister in law. God doesn’t like ugly and trust me in due time more things will be exposed and when it does let’s see how many REAL fans Melissa Marco has.
hey guys! I posted some funnies for you. I know I’ve been lax lately, Fame. I hate when real work gets in the way of important social content such as my RHO Comix… lol.
but…. I hope you don’t mind http://www.rhocomix/wordpress.com
I have never seen anyone in Teresa Group or FAMILY say a negative word about Melissa or Joe.
okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk,R u for real?How about when her blond bomb shell buddy set Melissa up at the fasonless show?How about when T is telling her bro that Melissa is using him for his money?FYI,now she is trying to make her own money to prove u all wrong she is still being torn apart ..There is just to much to even write.Just face it u all like T so every thing & anything anyone can think of to rip this good family apart u all r going to do!!And by what I read going to just lie to.!!Of course from what I have read on this site it is almost all fantasy.The one’s putting the lie’s out there cover their selves by saying well perhaps & what if.Most with 1/2 a head on their shoulders would ? that!!!Can u say Enquier.
Another conspiracy theorist. . . . .
musta been the grassy knoll
1. Teresa did not know that Melissa was going to be set-up, in fact the produces said that Teresa wasn’t involved with the setup.
2.Yes she was wrong in telling her brother that, but she said she will not get involved in their relationship. Go back to the episode where they are talking at Kathy pool place.
3. Good that she is trying to make her own money, no one here disagrees, but stop bashing and lying about your sister in law while in the process. Stop having your family insult and defame Teresa on Twitter. No hun it isn’t fantasy when her ex kind of admitted of their relationship.
I don’t agree with everything Teresa does, but you will not see her defame Melissa. Teresa knows why Melissa is really moving, yet she is not going to comment. We all know she’s broke. Melissa said on S3 at least “we pay our bills” why knock down your sil on national TV. I certainty am not going to like someone who lies, and as far I heard, Melissa lies A LOT she is so inconsistent with her stories. so yeah, if you think we Love Teresa, guess what yes we do because we got a reason too.
Dee, you are a conundrum, wrapped up in an enigma, tied with a question mark.
Hahaha !! Sackem you are too funny!You tickle my funnybone !!love ya:-P
Ah shucks – back atchya!
Giggle giggle Sackem!! Almost spit my cappuccino out of my mouth!! TY! It doesn’t matter which “side” you are on, truth is Melissa is a compulsive liar.#Fact Melissa will do anything for fame or $$$, anything! She & her family have all proven that w their actions and words. I am so grateful for sites like Fame, it’s not about name calling, just the facts. Some viewers believe in this nonsense so it’s nice for Fame to give us the real deal. Fame is extensive in his/her research and never disappoints! So happy the truth is coming out finally for those who have had Mego pegged from the start.. FameWh*re that she is! Scares me the people who actually r “fans” of Gorgas, makes me wonder what kind of people find them funny??
I did spit out my coffee, thanks for the laugh Sackem.
I totally agree with you meso. And you ask what kind of people find the Gorgas funny? It is people who are just like them. I actually know a few in this area. They are jealous, envy people’s possessions and believe the world revolves around them. They have no respect for their elders, well thinking about it, they do not respect anyone and when something goes awry it is always someone else who caused it.
ITA Moma!!!
I agree with you mesocrazy!
It really is SCARY how Melissa could have “fans” at all – the stuff that is posted on Melissa and Joey’s TL on Twitter is nauseating with the way people kiss their asses; gushing how “wholesome” they are with good Christian values (this is the one that really makes me SMH!), what “great role models” they are for young couples and new parents, and how “beautiful or hot” they are.
Melissa is working so hard to project herself as “family first” and a “stay-at-home mommy”, but all she and the Marcos have done is cause strife and divisiveness with the Gorgas. She is now working in overdrive to become as famous as her idol Jennifer Lopez. In her delusional mind, she really believes she can attain that goal – the stuff she tweets is fantastical!! Cooking dinner every night – not! Tucking her kids in every night – not. Being up all night writing her new tome on how to have a “hot and sexy” marriage – now that one is hysterical that she would think people actually believe that one!
The woman and her “sidekick”, Joey, are rarely home and her sister, Lysa, and babysitters, are taking care of her kids, while she is out self-promoting herself constantly. Or she brings her sister(s) along to watch the kids – which gives both Lysa and Kim a shot at their own exposure to the public.
Melissa’s target audience are young adult wannabes (with a couple of other demographics thrown in for good measure; she didn’t latch onto Greggy Bennett just because she though he was funny); who either are not married or just starting out with their young families and are making that transtion from single life. Melissa feeds them the fantasy she has created for herself, believing that they too can be a “stay-at-home mommy” but still go out to nightclubs, dinners, party every day, and live the “beautiful life”.
So, yes, it is SCARY what today’s society is looking to as role models!
Right on Jeannie!! IMO we all know “girls” like Melissa & I choose not to associate w those type of girls! Never understood jealousy so I don’t hang w people like that .. I know lots of Melissa’s and feel sorry for them as they are pathetic . She is beyond insecure and will never be happy w what she has. Always looking for richer, larger, bigger more expensive etc… She is vile, nasty, rude and thinks she is fooling less intelligent viewers! I never liked her from day 1 and was told I was just being mean? Really? I hate to say it to some BUT I TOLD U SO:) now everyone is seeing her for the lying home wrecker she is! All for fame? Gross!
It makes me so happy w these sites like Fame & FRE only sites w the real truth!! Fabulous work!!
lol.. Sackem, when are you due? I don’t want to lose your comments while you are on the process of labor and delivery, don’t have enough time myself to read the blog as often, still stop by, and I want to thank you all for always making me smile !!
Now, I am tempted on going to Merlina’s twitter and ask her what the book is going to be about.. How to make your in-laws heat you? How to make your husband believe his own fraternal family is always putting him down, (even though I don’t think she had to do a lot to accomplished that one, poor Joey is so dumb). There’s a lot of questions like this I would like answer, but since she’s going to talk about the fake marriage, “the perfect one” I think there’s no point in buying the book !! Of course they hate Teresa, she has class, yes! I said class ! even if she uses the C*** word lol 
You guys are lovely!!!
Lily – I’m on the home stretch, 3 weeks eeeeeeek! Bag’s packed.
And PS ITA with all of you!
And she can’t spell any of that…
Dee
If this site gets you so upset please feel free to not visit it anymore. No matter how hard you try to convince us that Ms Lookers is the 2nd coming of Mother Mary we are not going to believe you.
Most of us on this site are smart enough and have had enough life experiences to know when we see and hear BS. Ms Lookers is pure BS.
No, don’t ask her to leave.. she’s really funny, she always maks me luagh ( At her) we should tell Melissa what a great fan she has, maybe she will try to get her on TRHONJ !!
LMBO
whatever teresa earns,she deserves,she is a hardworking woman,helping her family out. even if you don’t like her,you have to give her credit for trying.its not easy to be a working mother,taking care of house and chilren. i worked full time job, delievered 3 different papers,plus cleaned stores on weekends,, just to make ends meet. so dee lay teresa for a change.or are you mellissas crazy sister
Ummm, wow!!! It seems some commenters are watching a show that only exists in their head or a Marco fantasy! Seriously?! WT?!! SMH…..
fasonless show? I’m sorry, i couldn’t resist.
Dee, you’re blind loyalty is to be commended. Clearly you have an attachment to these filthy animals, the gorgas. It’s no different that that of the fans of Teresa. If you don’t like this blog, why spend so much of your time on it? Surely your other aliases would like more time to shine on other worthy blogs. Move along now like a good troll and show your obedience elsewhere.
Dee do you realize that you sound like an idiot? Maby if you could manage to get your point across in a cohesive manner others would take you seriously.
Blonde bombshell set up Melissa?? I’m not sure we’re watching the same show.
Well how about melissa talking to Danielle .about taking tre down or making a video to bravo to take teresa down. Didnt think of that one did you.
FAMILY, ingrate! FAMILY!!!! She never said friends. It’s clear you can’t read.
Blonde bombshell? I hope you’re not talking about Kim D? Because there is nothing bombshell about her and Teresa rarely hangs out w/ her. Kim D. is just around to promote herself.
Dee’s position really is insignificant because Melissa to this day has maintained a friendship with Kim D and her butt plug husband even apologized to Kim D for calling her a coke whore-now is that a lie? Apparently they’re afraid of Kim D because they were coke whoring with Kim D. If Kim D is Melissa’s enemy why is she keeping her close and showing her respect?
Wow you are spot on,couldn’t pick my brain any better !!
Shaken in their boots !!!!
Dee is insignificant that’s why she lives in the blogosphere, not the real world.
Thats what jealousy and envy does, it creates unwarranted anger and hostility. The Mother of those 3 sisters could easily end this, but like her daughters(The Marcos) she herself is envious. very sad.
they are some homely looking broads. They are only jealousy of Teresa.
HA HA HA HA,offfff?The celulite?
go play with your dolls you can name on Teresa, and one Meho. Live you fantasy.
Tre isn’t jealous of a thing about Meho! MeHo Marco is trash and Tre knows it, like we all do!!!Most women have cellulite! Even size 0-2!!! WHATS YOUR POINT??? I’m sure MeHo has it(or will) too! NEXT???
It just PROVES Dee is a kid… or a guy.
ABSOLUTELY!!! ITA 1000%
It pains me to tell you that Dee is of the female persuasion and is, believe it or not, a grown-up. I know – it is hard to believe – but I have seen her posts on other sites with her picture. Imagine that. . . . .(sigh).
I am truly shocked @Jeanie5233!!!! I honestly thought she was a child or a male… wow!!!!
LOL! Better to be jealous of Celulite than a flabby loose VAGINA like MG has!
@OMFG… OMFGOODNESS!!! LMBO and equally groosed out at the thought! LOL
*grossed
Yes, they are hideous.

you don’t need a private source to confirm this– do you guys follow all the Marcos on twitter? they are VENOMOUS. like, actually horrible. I once tweeted one of them being like “Is this really supposed to help a reconciliation? Tweeting about your family member?” and she lost it in return. She kept saying “You don’t know what the eff you’re talking about” etc.
Ugh. It’s sad. This girl seriously is downright evil. I wish I could find people who knew her but I grew up near Franklin Lakes, not Bayonne or Totowa.
she is problay right.
The Twilight music should auto play after every comment of yours, since none of them are coherent, but you seem so sure of what you are trying to share.
Twilight Zone stupid iPad
Dee, I’m glad you see JerseyGirl IS RIGHT!!!! The Marcos are venomous!!!
Bahahahahahahahaha! Or the Michael Myers music. Dee is looney. I seriously would not be surprised if she’s friends w/ the Marco’s.
or a Marco……
Love this Site!Melissa and her crew need to keep in mind,God doesn’t like ugly!
Hun they are a bunch of hypocrites.
lol!
Brittany what happened to your twitter account?
I had to deactivate it,my followings and followers didn’t show,and it was acting weird!
Amen.
I read an article somewhere (I am sorry I can’t remember but I will try to find it) that Melissa’s mom still lives in a run-down, delapidated house. Lysa’s house went into foreclosure. This family came from nothing!
When Melissa brought Joey home to meet the family, they all saw a golden ticket. Young man, big house, and what appeared to be lots of MONEY!!!! Then Teresa was cast on RHONJ and the green-eyed monster took over with ALL of them. We all remember the Anonymous comments being made at “On Common Ground”, back in the day bashing a certain cast member, namely Teresa and her family.
Joe Gorga ithinks only with Tarzan and is so pussy whipped, not just by his wife but the sisters and the MIL as well – I am sure the whisperings in his ear started way back then and even before.
The Marcos did a good job manipulating Joe and turning him against his family – but, ultimately, the entire blame lies with him.
no we didnt need a sourse to tell us this cus fame n chris keeps us informed.
this is sooooo sad ,some people have no integrty,no deep down soul,u can always spot them ,thats why its sad that melgo will never go places she is so money hungry shes sick. this kinda makes me ill ,but remember she is not in teresas family ,they have integrty .she is a true MARCO NO SCRUPLES.or is this the marcos trying to dominate this site
It’s not just money… it’s the need to be famous and have all eyes on her.
It just proves how weak Joe really is. I seriously believe he’ll put his wife before his own kids. Well he kind of has if you think about it.
Most recent examples were around Christmas with Mrs Marco retweeting negative stories about the Christmas card and one of the sisters getting in a dig but tweeting Caroline her love of fried meatballs. They are a likes dogs with a bone.
pot calling the kettle black isn’t it?
ummmm, no Dee. Dog with a bone refers to people who don’t know when to give up… hmmm actually…..
@Sackem, LOL!
You’re consistent Dee, i’ll give you that. Consistently what , well I don’t need to say.
hahaha!
Visit our FameWhorgas inspired tumblr! http://famewhorgas.tumblr.com/
We express the sense of humor of the readers of this site in image form!
OMG!
I must eggmit I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the very last video of Melissa’s repeating “ME!”, with the pictures of Teresa’s face and Andy’s expression (so telling – lapping it all up like a dog in heat!).
Very funny!
No,with a bone !! Don’t let Dee stray to far from the yard!!!Hahaha !!Sorry ?!?Ha
In that last pic of Mel, she definitely looks like she got her top lip plumped. Something else to add to the list.
You are brilliant! The GIFs are way hysterical! Can you do a GIF of Danielle flipping the bird? Her face as she was doing it just cracked me up!
Love how you used the original cast for the background.
Great job! I agree about loving the original cast in the background for sure.
Please make more. My favorite was “Teresa is jealous cause I’m a younger, hotter version of her.” You have Melissa’s teenage photo of her and a picture of Teresa at age 40! LOL! Which clearly shows that Melissa wants to be like Teresa.
That Marco family thinks they are famous. LOL. We only know who thay are because of Teresa. They fail to realize if Melissa was not Teresa’s sister in law she would have never been looked at!!!
ITA!!!!
Are there any of the Marcos who don’t resemble transvestites? Besides Joe Whorga-Marco, I mean.
I don’t normally comment on people’s physical looks but I do have to say that they all look. . . .well, “hard”, for want of a better word. Like they have partied just a little too much and it is now catching up on them and all the botox and fillers are not doing their job.
Melissa as well. If you compare her looks to S3 and today, not only has her face changed – she looks much older than two years passing. She doesnt look as “fresh” anymore and her face is starting to look “frozen”. She’s way too young to be starting all that and it will catch up with her.
I’m with you about not liking to make negative comments about their looks… at least not their God given looks, however, I will give an opinion on, for instance, things they’ve chose to augment or otherwise alter. I will also say that if a person is ugly on the inside, that can effect what I think about how they look on the outside.
IMO, Melissa has changed drastically in looks from the first season. She went from a very plain, ordinary looking girl to someone that most definitely had quite a bit of work done and has to be overly made up to “get the look.” I DO NOT think she has a GREAT body. Yes, she’s thin but other than her fake boobs, she’s kinda straight up and down. I think Teresa has a better figure. I have NO IDEA how she got #2 in the list of best looking reality tv stars. Sorry, don’t see it no way no how. Can she look good? Most definitely. Are there a kazillion other women better looking than her? HE!! yes.
I know how she got #2, the poll was rigged as always.
It’s crazy… seems like an awful lot of things are rigged in Melissa’s favor. I mean you’re right, that’s truly the only thing that makes sense. I just had no idea how far-reaching Andy and Bravo actually are.
DCH, girl, I so agree! I think Melissa got a really bad — and unnecessary — nose job. It altered her entire face. There was NOTHING wrong with her face before! She really rocked a lovely look. I thought she was so cute and pretty looking that first season. Not to sound nasty, but now, she has a permanent “I’m smelling poo” face.
Absolutely agree about not usually not commenting on looks, but in this case it’s so noticeable-and a look they are definitely cultivating. We know it’s not a “Jersey” thing b/c the rest of NJ women aren’t necessarily running around looking similar.
Their manly looks are highlighted rather than softened. I attribute it to their cosmetologist/makeup artist, who appears to be femme. That’s fine–except he shares a trait that many male cosmetologists have: to masculinize their female clients, while feminizing themselves. (1500 hours in cosmetology school and many past years working in industry, I feel qualified to make that observation.)
They’re getting bad advice & guidance by allowing someone to guide them, who is biased. It seems they are passing it on to their children as well.

Exclusive: The Family Feud Continues: Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice Still at War
The family feud continues!
In Touch can reveal that despite their recent attempts to make amends, The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice, 40, and Melissa Gorga, 33, sunk to new lows at a birthday party for Teresa’s 12-year-old daughter, Gia.
“Melissa got [verbally] attacked by Teresa and her friends,” an eyewitness tells In Touch about the Jan. 11 bash. “Teresa’s pal Kim D. was drunk and was the instigator, stirring the pot — as always — over petty stuff.” There had been hope for the fighting sisters-in-law to reopen their lines of communication in mid-December. That’s when Teresa took to Twitter to congratulate Melissa for her book deal. But it was obvious that neither was ready for the face-to-face reunion (Melissa was one of only two guests who showed up not wearing the party’s theme color of white).
NEWS: Melissa Says Teresa Should Quit Reality TV
Teresa and Melissa are currently filming the next season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and it sounds like it’s sure to be as explosive as the last!
Thanks Chris. This is exactly the BS that keeps coming from Melissa and Bravo. I added this to these two articles:

There Will Be No Justice for Teresa Giudice in RHONJ Season 5 — Andy Cohen Wants to Make Melissa Gorga the New Star of the Show
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/there-will-be-no-justice-for-teresa-giudice-in-rhonj-season-5-andy-cohen-wants-to-make-melissa-gorga-the-new-star-of-the-show/
but only Teresa’s enemies want her to quit the show not her fans. they’re so dang blinded in the envy that they refuse to recognize the size of her fan base.
Dee I like to read how far you willing to go to get Melissa to the top of that pedestal and she will get there believe me but it will be the pedestal of shame and disgrace for which she will carry with her the remainder of her life. To Teresa’s fan she will always be just what she is that SIL who spend all her energy on trying to bring down Teresa. In spite of all that has been said and done to Teresa she still prevails because as someone posted earlier God does not like ugly and everyone else has sold the soul to the satan to appear one hour a week on television.
For me personally I look at this a the couth versus the uncouth, what I see–people like the manzos and the marcos as persons with no moral terpitude. I wouldn’t be next to Melissa for fear of being struck by lightning.
Good luck with defending Melissa but there will be a day of reckoning. Sayonara..
Well stated Rah!
On a related note regarding the Marcos: what’s going on with cookie Laurita suddenly being bosom-buddies w/cruella and morticia Marco? Tweeting along and lolhehe’ing– noticed suddenly not as much activity betw her and Dina.
Of ALL people you’d think she’d know better.
Hey autumn! Just was reading all that crap on faux blog !! Made me so sick !! Sorry people are so cruel ,it is sad :’( Im sure your beautiful inside and out O:-) Don’t you worry ,karma is coming for them ! Sick , twisted ,evil ,vial ,disgusting pigs !!By the way ,I Love love love my Crocs !!
I Really think this entire show is a bad B movie – the “stars” are wannabes – the producers actually think they are directors – and the studio head enjoys toying with the audience and characters – and depicts women in a damaging/negative manner. It is unfortunate that lives are being ruined – marriages breakdown – and the children become the talk of late night shows – all this for 15 mins of fame. Teresa would be wise to finish her contract, hit the high road and not look back.
Totally agree!
Bingo AnnieC.
I wish I knew how to put videos on here!!! This is a link to a video on Youtube titled:
MARCO SISTAS
It is perfect for this article – these women are famewhores.
It’s only about 3 minutes long, broken into five parts; the last being a scene, I believe, from Season 3, Episode 1, where the three Marco sisters are getting ready for the christening, toasting champagne, Melissa blesses herself while saying her catch phrase “Thank you Jesus!” (irks me to no end!), and she warns them to “behave.” Then the TH comes on with Melissa slamming Teresa about the fact “she doesn’t have sisters so she doesn’t know how to be a sister”. All three of them were clearly enjoying themselves, savoring the upcoming confrontation with Teresa.
Oh my gosh!!!! It posted! I’m so proud of myself!
Obviously these women knew what was going to happen. At the christening they were making the situation worst, it was unbearable. Poor grandparents!
good job ms jeannie
Which sister put that little montage together do you think?
I don’t know, but they sure do think they are the next Kardashians (SMH). I wonder why they didn’t put Melissa’s tracks on it?
I’m sorry to butt in and change the subject but what does SMH mean, It’s driving me nuts wondering?
popsy – glad to see I’m the only one who doesn’t know what certain acronyms mean. SMH means “shaking my head”. I just figured out what GMTA means – “great minds think alike”!
thanks you Jeannie, alli could come up with was smack me hard so I’m glad its not that. And, oh dear another one! What’s GMTA? Is it, Gosh Melissa’s Totally Annoying?
Sorry Jeannie, just realised you actually wrote the answer, wasn’t paying proper attention
I like your meaning better… lol
Me too!
WELL IF THEY HAVE BLK HAIR LIKE THE KARDASHIANS ,AND WALK LIKE A DUCK AND TALK LIKE TRASH THEN THEY MUST BE THE SMUTTY WHORGAS COMN THERE
IMO
I’m surprised they don’t show the other sister they supposedly have. Also the other two look a lot alike but yet Meho doesn’t look that much alike. I guess she takes after her dad and the other wanna be’s take after the mom.
How come they didn’t use Mels songs on the video ??Also,isn’t she using the wrong hand to cross herself ??Maybe she should pay more attention in church !!
I’m not Catholic… but people have been saying that since she first started… that she does the cross wrong. Proves what a friggen phony she is.
Melissa sure looks different in the earlier pictures!
I believe you have stumbled upon the promotional clip for their own show.
This video was uploaded in June 2011 and from what I can figure out from my amateur sleuthing skills, it is by a person who is just a fan – a HUGE fan of all things Marco – follows them on Twitter.
As far as using Melissa’s music as background, I am not sure but I think her first song, ON DISPLAY wasn’t released until late summer/early fall of that year so her “music” wouldn’t have been available.
Jeannie.. brilliant.
Lmao at their song choices… ffs they really love and believe their own lies and fantasies!!
Ugh!! Teresa knows how to be a sister–she has a brother, therefore she IS A SISTER. You can be a sister without actually having a sister. Rocket scientists the Marco sisters are not….
Frankie Beans @franksabean

So if bravo want to portray her as being the good girl, just remember they are already people who know the truth. Miss “We pay our bills” Lol
Hey SS, I read your other comments and sent you an e-mail. Can you check and respond?
Sent.
btw Fame I am from Canada Lol, and I still can’t handle them over here.
Bar none, this is the best site. I use to like two others but found out their both one and the same. One got herself in hot water and the other is her other site based on her alter ego and now has a story trying to defend herself.
Thankfuly this is a site that you can trust not to play any games. Thanks to Famewhoregas!
I’ve read somewhere stating that Melissa has had open heart surgery at age 7 but not a single scar to show for. I’ve looked numerous pics of Mel showing the cleavage area. Anyone looked into that?
She did and they did from the back — go to SH as she has an article there covering the topic.
My mom had heart surgery and they did it arthroscopically through the groin.
Did your mom get stents Jeannie?
Yes, My sister also had a procedure done as well that way but I can’t remember what it was exactly – it may have been an AFL or AFib – but I’m not sure exactly. I know they just approved a new procedure here in the US to go through the groin to repair vaives.
My husband had a patent ductis corrected years ago – and he does have the scar to show for it
It’s amazing what they can do nowadays with less invasive procedures.
In thinking about this, If Melissa had her surgery at age 7 that was over 25 years ago – more than likely, the surgery would have to be done through her chest or back. And, it would depend on what was exactly wrong and had to be repaired.
I find it strange though – we have seen Melissa romping around in swimsuit tops and there have been shots of her back and there appears to be no scar. Maybe makeup? Although Tina Fey has a scar on her face and even with makeup you can see it.
I can’t remember which site I saw/read it on — but it was a surgery via the back, pretty new technology at the time and they had pics of the scars which were minimal and hard to see. She’s kept it for the most part on the down low (unusual for her) but has done some charity efforts for the hospital where she had the surgery. As much as I can’t stand her, I can’t imagine someone would concoct a story about heart surgery as a child.
I believe the story though because I think I remember reading the hospital she had the surgery at held a fundraiser and advertised her appearance as a former patient. And I agree with you – I don’t think that story would have been made up.
http://www.deborah.org/7News/2012/9-24.html — Here is article (not a whole lot of details) with her appearance there.
she was a desparate housewife for sure
SAYS IN THIS ARTICAL ABOVE THAT SHES A DESPARATE HOUSEWIFE ,DIDNT IT?
She openly talks about it in the episode for Rich’s birthday party at Aladdin. She says something along the lines that she was the fourth person in the world to have it done at the time and thank God her mom fought for them to do it through her back and not chest… Anyone know the statistics on which way is “safer” I don’t have a daughter but I would imagine I’d tell the drs to do which ever procedure is less risky… She shouldn’t be showing her buhbies off anyway
People that have an extensive surgery like that, especially as a young child, normally have a more positive and grateful outlook on life. Going through an experience like that, they tend not to be so petty and not to “sweat the small things in life”. They show more than just stating “thank you Jesus”. They show how grateful and thankful they are by giving back. If a family member went through this as a young child, your attitude/actions would be much more different than attacking people on twitter all day especially for a parent. You would be grateful that they are here.
I had a friend that had a since of entitlement. She had a brain tumor on her brain stem when she was little. They did an experimental surgery to remove it and put a shunt in. Everyone treated her with kid gloves. She hated it. She was jealous because the guys would treat me & the other girls different from her. They did try to treat her the same but her feelings got hurt & people would get mad at them. Over the years the drama she created I got tired of. I don’t have anything to do with her anymore. I think what put the last nail in the coffin was at my husband’s funeral this summer. Unbeknownst to me she was threatening to beat my sister up if she even looked at her. She than cut in front of family members & the pall bearers in the funeral procession because she thought she she be closer to the front. We had to wait on one of the pall bearers because he was in the back. My sister-in-law had to walk a distance after having a procedure done on her belly the day before. It just hurt me that she would be so inconsiderate of others because of the fact that she thought she was entitled. There are people out there that no matter if they had a life threatening condition that do act the way Melissa does, but they are in the minority of people.
I am sorry to hear about your husband. I agree with your post, I never looked at it that way before.
unless they feel the world owes them something
Melissa don’t want to make up with Teresa she never did she was just trying to clean up her image to enlarge her fan Base. Melissa is fake & phoney she doesn’t care about no one but Melissa!! I am so sick of Melissa Marco grow up already and just go away already!! Grrrrrr
With all the pictures she post there are hardly any with her children. Yeah born to be a mother my ass. She &her wicked witche sisters are scarey ugly. She & her evil sisters better watch out or a house will fall on them or someone will throw water on them to watch them melt.
My theory on this (not posting alot of pics of her kids) — I don’t want to exploit my children the way Teresa does. They are kids and deserve their privacy.
I’m sorry… I respect your opinion… but does that REALLY sound like something MeGo would give a crap about? I think she wants all of the attention… she doesn’t want her kids to get the attention. I’ve also sensed a disconnect between her and her kids… I go back to the bathtub scene season three… that’s how I wash my dog. Sorry for going there… usually wouldn’t… but that’s how little I think of Messy Marco. I’m not saying it as a negative comment about her kids in the least. I do think Joe DOES love his kids. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure Melissa loves her kids… as much as a sociopathic narcissist can. I think she loves herself more. I mean what kind of mother would get in the way of her children having a relationship with their cousins? Especially when you can tell how much the kids love each other. It does NOT have to be that way. ERGH she makes me sick.
Melissa doesn’t want to share the spotlight with anyone – even her kids! Their privacy doesn’t enter into it.
RTortor, I agree! MeHo is never with the kids, one of the sisters always is! I don’t think it has a thing to do with privacy! This is a woman who can’t dress approprately at a childs party,makes herself front and center in all family pix, clearly jealous of Tre, called out her nieces as future bullies at the reunion and is a famewhore! If she thought she’d get more press with the kids in the pix, they’d be in every pic she took! Tre is a loving mother and takes pix all the time of only the kids!
Lysa Simpson posts more pictures of Melissa’s kids on Twitter than their own mother and even more so than her own kids. Lysa, by association, enjoys the attention she gets by posting these pictures very much and I certainly don’t see Melissa telling her to stop. In fact, she has even tweeted back how cute they are.
@Jeannie5233, ITA!!!!
Considering she uses her daughter for promotion – I don;t think it’s privacy. Remember the two birthdays in one year because Antonia was walking in a fashion show?
I remember that! MeHo is such a joke!!!
OMG I Just caught another one of her lies LOOOOL I was browsing around the blog site and I read this off of one of the blog READ ESPECIALLY the brackets
Quoted from an interview with Melissa on tvguide:
How did your family react when you first started talking about joining The Real Housewives of New Jersey?
Melissa: We didn’t want to do it at first, and Joe was definitely saying no to the point where it was pretty happened was, I was really just driving in my car on a Friday afternoon when they called me. (They just said, “Hi, its The Real Housewives of New Jersey producers. We’re from Bravo. We want to interview you.” I have no idea how they found me. I think they found Kathy on Facebook. Neither of us pursued it, wanted it, were looking for it — it just kind of fell into our laps. Bravo is smart, they figured it out.) They heard through the grapevine that there was some type of tension. … They caught on to it.
http://www.tvguide.com/News/Real-Housewives-NJ-Melissa-1034094.aspx
Okay so she blames Kathy for her FB but on this video she says with “to be honest” listen from @ the 2 minute mark. We should really count how many lies lol ENJOY
Just watched the video and my little brother had the exact same surgery in “77″ Sounds legit , if only she could see she’s not a “victim ” but a survivor and share that second chance in a better light ,be more humbled !?! Stop wreaking your family ,grow up ,stand up!! Take responsibility for yourself and your actions!You will never get anywhere in life based on lies and decite !!
Ps,I want a jellyfish !!!!
The fact that she changed stories from, Kathy got a fb message and then she was the one who got the fb message. REALLY why lie so much, and then she say Teresa always lies. HA!
She also has said Joe was the one who wanted her to do it, to launch her singing career. Would have given Bravo a BIG hand in locating her is she was at Teresa’s events as documented – hardly seeking her out. She would have signed a clearance form to be at any of those events for them to use her image.
“Statement Analysis” again, lol>” I was really just driving in my car on a Friday afternoon when they called me.”
The word “really” would be flagged . . . the unnecessary detail, as well (driving/Friday afternoon etc) A simple “BRAVO called me” would indicate truthfulness.
Does anyone else think that Joey Marco secretly likes the idea of two hot women clawing at eachother over him? (And he IS the type to consider his own Sister ‘Hot”…red dress anyone?) While I do think he may want some family peace, he enjoys this all out two going on three season war about little old ‘him.’ It’s one big ego boost to a small Narcissist, his parents, children and nieces be damned…..
If the picture above of Ms Lookers and Fredo was taken 2 days after Gia’s party he sure doesn’t look like he just got over the flu. From death bed at hospital to partying in NY in 2 days. Once again the stories do not add up.
If it is,then there both sick,and not with the flu!
That is a good point @old NJ girl, I never really thought about that. Anything to stay in the news
I think Teresa tweeted about her poor brother being in the hospital and telling everyone to go get their flu shot. Who knows – either she really did know he was in the hospital or was only responding to his tweet?
I think she either read that off of his twitter or Melissa told Teresa that Joe can’t come because he is sick in the hospital. Regardless the story isn’t making any sense.
Good point!
The fact that Melissa and company continue to attack Teresa shows how desperate they are for a little piece of that pie! A feud means both sides are actively fighting and this is just not the case because Teresa is just not into it – carry on Melissa because all your efforts and antics just show viewers how shallow you really are. As for your wonderful hot and sexy marriage – it isn’t Italian style at all because you have no respect for your husband’s family and your husband treats you like a piece of property!

Check out the date on the article Teresa posed about training….
Posted, posted about training – my predictive text has made me look foolish lately!
I remember seeing it way before Melissa and Joey decided to produce their own workout video. Teresa tweets this morning about her good workout (she does that a lot) and yes what does Mego tweet a wee bit later:
Melissa Gorga @melissagorga
Walking out of the gym feels so good! Happy Friday!
Did she go through a period of that – with kids and slurpees or some such nonsense?
Fame has a blog on it and there’s a plethora of instances. Teresa has said Melissa is a copy cat because IT IS TRUE! It’s creepy stalkerish-like too… not just a copy cat.
what more funny is this
Teresa Giudice ?@Teresa_Giudice 3h
I had a great morning at the gym. Took 2 classes with Arlene and Cornell. #feelinggreat
Melissa Gorga ?@melissagorga 2h
Walking out of the gym feels so good! Happy Friday!
Ha! Ha! Teresa, taking it a step further, tweets the following article from RUMORFIX – note the date of the article is October 25th, 2012.
http://rumorfix.com/2012/10/exclusive-the-secrets-to-why-teresa-giudice-is-so-tough/
Teresa looks fabulous and has been obviously working out for quite some time – look at her guns – I’m so jealous! You don’t look like that from working out once in a while. Learned along time ago “It takes 6 months to get in shape and 6 weeks to get out!”
Oh Sackem – did it again – I posted the same exact thing below! You and I think alot alike!!
It’s freaky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha!
Fame, Bryan gave you a shoutout on Twitter.
AWESOME! I love it! Good going Fame.
It’s hard to say from his tweets what he is thinking, other than this statement:
“I never want to hurt someone’s family but if the truth has to come out, it has to come out! Remember, I didn’t ask for this!”
Fame – I think with the “shoutout”, he is enjoying the play on words you used for the name of your blog.
The “stand for something or kneel for everything” statement – I interpret that to mean you either “man up” or “bow down”. In other words, face your challenge head on. He is a boxer – and a MMA – they have a different training mindset. Alot of the training is not just physical – it is mental as well.
Ok I will say what I’m thinking the man might be talking about her kneeling down giving him the Blow J… or he might just might mean he has beliefs and morals… I think he is talking about the first comment LOL… Ok you guys gave me my daily cuckle have a good night. Best wishes everyone David, Amy, Colin an Devin…
Hey, David –
Having been exposed to the fringes of the martial arts culture, I see this statement as an “affirmation.” I have heard this statement several times before – just worded differently – “Stand up straight or be down on your knees”, “Stand for something or we shall fall for anything”, and “Stand tall or fall short”. Affirmations are used in training to develop the mental state of the student in order to be mentally strong facing an opponent. Affirmations are also used to build one’s character and integrity.
But I can see where this statement could be seen as a double entendre and be taken in the way you are saying. I respectfully say that I do not believe he is referring to your interpretation. Until proven otherwise, I prefer to see the positive rather than the negative in a person.
Oh I got what he was saying but was just being funny. Listen offten things are taken to serious people need to relax and enjoy themselves and those around them. Some do it on their knees while others stand tall. Have a great day..
… hey David, the same thing flashed through my mind to!! Thats what you get for going to an all girl’s Catholic school!!! Naughty, naughty!
That’s what I thought too when I read it, however, I knew nothing about what Jeannie explains which makes sense.
He’s probably amused that we’re talking about him – if you think about it in the grand scheme of things we are a small group of viewers. To an outsider we’d be crazy!!! I know I get the head shake from my husband from time to time! At least he shows some kind of sense of humour! What do you think Bulldog? Two tweets for YES one tweet of NO! And we’ll use the word REDRUM!
Hey Sackem – on his TL – he’s a little upset by someone who posted about his scar on his head – apparently he had brain surgery. I hope he has read some of the positive comments about him too.
By his comments, I can tell he has been influenced by his training and his sport – usually, most martial artists are trained to live their life by a certain code, even outside of their sport – which, he says in another of this tweets – “integrity,honor, respect”. One of my girls has her 3rd degree black belt in Isshinryu karate. She started at age 5 and is now in her 30′s. Her training as a young child shaped her into the wonderful woman she is today. I really believe it was the best thing that ever happened for her.
I feel bad for this guy – can’t imagine what is going through his mind right now – one minute he’s minding his own business and then the next – boom!
I’d be upset to!
But what a story for him! He dated some girl that clawed her way onto reality TV, was mentioned in a few anonymous posts, was finally found and now has a bunch of viewers fro around the world reading his tweets! That would be surreal!
Exactly – I hope he deals with this all on his own terms – whatever that may be. If it were me, I think I’d be just a little miffed at the Gorgas right now.
How foolish Melissa and Joe are to think they could get away with their own version of “reality” they so carefully crafted – there were too many holes. In this day and age of instant “information” on the internet, it is very difficult to pull off.
Look how many politicians and others in the entertainment industry have been “exposed” in one way or another. If you’ve got a past or skeletons in your closet, it’s best to be upfront about it and not try to hide. As I, and others here have said, the public is far more forgiving if someone is honest and truthful. Unfortunately, the Gorgas have been caught in lies yet continued on with the fantasy. When you do something like that, it is bound to turn into a nightmare.
Thanks for letting me know that Jeannie — as you know, I’m not on Twitter so I rely on everyone keeping me up to date. I did see that stupid comment about his scar, which I deleted when I went through them, and then I modified settings so that comments from first-time posters would be held for moderation and my approval. I understand why he was offended — like Bryan said, he didn’t sign up for this and everyone needs to be respectful of that.
Here’s what Bryan said about the comment:
“It’s crazy how someone on FW made jokes about the scars on my head.i had brain surgery on 9/11 of 2012.TODAY ill pray for you! Lucky u are!”
He got some support from a Twitter follower:
“Oh always one asshole around!! LOL
”
He replied:
“why would someone do that? Makes no sense!!” Some are sicker then others.. It’s all good though
”
He came back with this:
“@jenbradleylopez I’m not mad at anyone and I appreciate the nice things I have heard but someone on it said some stupid things.”
I want to apologize to Bryan for not catching that comment sooner — it was stupid and that is why I trashed it. It takes courage and strength (and of course grace) to undergo and recover from such a serious procedure.
Here’s what he asked me to copy:
“Famewhorgas you wanna copy what I say,copy this $ never made me the man that i am,never will!! Integrity,honor&respect! You can’t buy it!!”
I totally agree with him — he isn’t driven by money, which I respect, and he is a man with integrity, honor and respect, which I admire.
Here is a Twitter exchange between Bryan and Sushine1335, where Bryan says he doesn’t hide anything:
Sunshine @Sunshine1335
actually I heard about you in other website as well, like about last year lol..didn’t think the story was true.
Bryan
@Sunshine1335 Good thing is I don’t hide anything.
And Dee @hwcrazygal tweeted Bryan:
“You are obviously a man of integrity, sad that you are in this b/c of a famewhore and her steroid girlyman!”
I totally agree with @hwcrazygal too.
Like and double like!
haha,Oh Melissa!
Does anyone else watch Top Chef? Here’s an analogy for ya… Teresa is Kristen and Melissa is Josie. Kristen takes the high road even if it hurts her and Josie throws her under the bus just to advance herself. I don’t believe in Karma… I’ve seen too many bad things happen to good people and vice versa (although who knows what happens after we die…
). In any regard, I do believe we’ll see justice in both cases… even if it doesn’t happen right away.
dch60
I was so annoyed that Josie was not cut the other night. Had Kristen not “fallen” on the sword she might have stayed. Josie is not a good chef and she is a hard to deal with. Kristen created a top chef menu it was Josie’s lack of time management the screwed up the dish. I also noticed when they played the tape back that Kristen did not plate those dishes.
Did you watch Last Chance Kitchen yet?
Yes, but I agreed with Gayle…Kris didn’t defend herself so “Oh well.”
I think Kristen won LCK although I didn’t watch it myself. They also have a chef that will come back who’s a Viewer’s Choice so even if she doesn’t last it LCK, I think she’ll be the one chosen by viewers. Still sux because the rest of the competition will lack because of Kristen not being there. I just hope Josie goes next week because I don’t think she deserves to be there (she’s also annoying as all get out).
In the Bravo blogs, every single comment is pro-Kristen and talks about how bad the judges call was. The fact that Kristen didn’t “defend” herself just shows her integrity. She didn’t want to throw anyone under the bus in order to save herself. The judges were wrong to not act the other two chefs some questions about what happened.
Gayle even said in her blog that it’s not a unanimous decision… it’s a majority… and she wasn’t in that majority. She had Josie’s number and fought for Kristen but it seemed as though Padma’s mind was made up. Never did like Padma.
Yes, she won LCK but I think “Big Ceeg” will win viewers choice. Collichio routinely overrules Padma, and I don’t think she packed her knives based solely on her refusal to throw Josie under the bus. The flavors were there for Josie. (PS: I really liked Kris and can’t stand Josie, lol) but if it’s based on Restaurant Wars only, the judges made the right move.
We’ll agree to disagree. Even Tom Collichio says in his blog that if he knew then what he knows now from watching the episode, it would have been Josie who went home.
Good analogy.
Oh boy – just read a copy and paste of Jac’s article – ummm when does she talk about her son?
Andy Cohen in GQ Magazine according to Stoopid Housewives:
“And I’ve figured out why you like me: I show a bunch of boobs and asses and good-looking women. I get your wives and girlfriends playing drinking games. I get ’em wound up, I get ’em drunk, and just when they’re at the point where… I’m off the air.” And agrees to be referred to as a fluffer.
Speechless. Nice way to refer to your audience!
http://www.gq.com/entertainment/celebrities/201302/andy-cohen-interview-gq-february-2013?currentPage=1
He is such a pompous ass! I don’t know one straight guy that likes him and I guarantee he is truly not a fluffer for straight men.
An interesting observation on page 3 of the article by the author:
“A Miami Housewife, camera-ready, cuts the line and surprises Andy. He does seem surprised. And not as happy to see her as she is to see him. (This seems to be a common dynamic between Andy and many of the Bravolebrities: The adoration is mutual, but unbalanced. In many cases it seems Andy loves them like people love their pets, whereas the stars seem to love him like pets love the human who’s rescued them from the pound.)”
Whi is that, I wonder? It seems the Bravolebrities do fawn over him vying for attention. What is it about him that makes them behave that way? Does he really have that much power over them????? I don’t get it .
More attention, more air time, better edit, more money. Sorry not enough money in the world to get me to ever kiss that assholes butt.
The Manzoids kiss it for free. They were desperate to get on a reality show.
No straight guy I know has ever heard of him.
What. A. Moron.
I know I sound at times like a broken record – but IMO Cohen has very little (okay absolutely) no respect for women. The housewives franchise is a perfect case and point. I will agree that these shows would not be possible without the willing ‘participants’ – however these shows portray women in a very disturbing way – often exploiting them in a demeaning sexual manner. I knew exactly where Cohen was coming from when I learned that professor Paglia was to be a guest on WWHL. She’s nothing short of a female hater and no doubt relishes Cohen’s mindset. Drinking game alert – when you hear Cohen ask ‘whose team are you on’ remember – he’s not on the side of decency.
ITA!! He is a misogynist. His portrayal of women is mind blowing!
Thanks Sacken, I often feel alone on this topic. Nice to know I’m not!
No, not at all – I’ve ranted about the way he deals with women here many times. In my experience I’ve never seen women treat each other like they do in any of these franchises. Certainly we’ve all encountered the “bitch” but rarely do things turn so ugly as they have across all shows. I think this has to do with his refusal to document women positively. He rewards and needs the bad behaviour so he highlights it. He doesn’t cast stable people, he casts caricatures. There’s no denying the type of person who goes for reality TV but you just have to watch any reunion to see the way he handles women – the face pulling, dismissive statements. I often compare these shows to Flipping Out. When you watch how he interacts with men vs women, it is very telling. It’s almost like a real life game of Barbies.
Oh no AnnieC – you are not alone at all! I just don’t comment much on Andy because I find him so repugnant but I am totally in agreement with you. It is clear as day what Andy thinks of women in general and I don’t think it has anything to do with his sexuality either. Any gay man I have ever been exposed to usually has a great love for woment. I believe Melissa’s makeup artist is of the same ilk as Andy as well. I believe it was Autumn upthread who pointed out how he masculinizes Melissa – while the makeup application is flawless, she has been looking harder and harder lately – she is not soft, pretty, or very feminine like she was when she first came on the show (different makeup artist).
AnnieC –
You may find this book that RHOcomix recommended an interesting read – REALITY BITES BACK The Troubling Truth about Guilty Pleasure TV by Jennifer L. Pozner. Below is Amazon’s book descripton:
“Nearly every night on every major network, “unscripted” (but carefully crafted) “reality” TV shows routinely glorify retrograde stereotypes that most people would assume got left behind 35 years ago. In Reality Bites Back, media critic Jennifer L. Pozner aims a critical, analytical lens at a trend most people dismiss as harmless fluff. She deconstructs reality TV’s twisted fairytales to demonstrate that far from being simple “guilty pleasures,” these programs are actually guilty of fomenting gender-war ideology and significantly affecting the intellectual and political development of this generation’s young viewers. She lays out the cultural biases promoted by reality TV about gender, race, class, sexuality, and consumerism, and explores how those biases shape and reflect our cultural perceptions of who we are, what we’re valued for, and what we should view as “our place” in society. Smart and informative, Reality Bites Back arms readers with the tools they need to understand and challenge the stereotypes reality TV reinforces and, ultimately, to demand accountability from the corporations responsible for this contemporary cultural attack on three decades of feminist progress.”
It deals with many reality shows such as The Bachelor, America’s Top Model, and The Real World and also mentions the Real Housewives franchises, especially RHOA and rips off the veiled pretense of “entertainment by showing how demeaning, stereotyped, and sexualized women are represented. Fascinating – but very disheartening. American women watch this stuff and feed into it blindly.
Jeannie & Sackem – Thank you! Your comments are reassuring. The manner in which Cohen and company abuse women has bothered me to no end. Jeannie, I will definitely read the book you recommended and I will continue to voice my disgust for Cohen and his abusive treatment towards women and (I’m sorry to say) young adolescent girls. Guess I came a tad late to this blog and missed your thoughtful and spot on observations.
i think the thing is that viewers wonder, “why would melissa lie? she has a place on a hit show already- why would be pretending to be anything? why would she want her husbands family to be torn apart?” those are reasonable questions IF you dont consider how she MUST have gotten on the show. there is NO way bravo brought on random family members. melissa had to have signed off on major drama. she sold her soul to the network. yes she has fame, but her place is rooted in being teresas opponent and there cant be 2 ways about that as far as bravo is concerned. my point though is that this all is lost on a lot of viewers (most, i think) just because they just arent analyzing… if they ever wonder how melissa got on the show, they assume that bravo learned that tre has family she treats like shit. and then they see a younger melissa and assume tre is jealous… i dont think its the viewers fault, as it was very easy for bravo to arrange the portrayal. but if the small fraction of NJ fans who read the blogs still believe melissas is so perfect and desirable… errr yeahhh i dunno, haha.
I agree but the first thing I thought about when I heard Melissa was joining was WHY in the world would she come on the show if she knew, and she had to know, that it would cause problems. Doesn’t matter WHO would cause the problems… innocent people would be caught up in it i.e. Joe’s parents. And the first episode showed exactly that. People are blind if they don’t see it. I think those that gave Melissa the benefit of the doubt without question weren’t Teresa fans to begin with.
@LysaSimpson: And no one is more special then my god daughter http://t.co/VLu2DwCZ
Umm…how about your own kids
Lysa Simpsons Her two daughters twitter time line is concerning: BriellePollara and gianna_pollara
Well, it’s Saturday night and Melissa and Joe are out and about (from the tweets I’d say they have been out more this week than home), on their way to Mt. Airy Lodge in the Poconos for an appearance. Lysa, of course, is babysitting – and she’s tweeting pictures of herself and the kids.
P.S. The kids slept over “Zia Lysa’s” house last night as well – how do I know? Pictures tweeted of course!
Fame:
Is Teresa a godparent of any of Melissa kids?Melissa and Joe are of her(Teresa)kids.
That’s a good question brittany. I think Joe Giudice is Antonia’s godfather. I don’t know if Teresa is godmother to any of Melissa’s kids. Anyone know the answer?
I had to deactivate my twitter,something was wrong with it!Hope Teresa is a godparent of at least one,because I know Melissa sisters take two,and it leaves one child left!
Maybe she is godmother to Gino… Melissa says, “He’s the Gorga of the family.”
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/melissa-says-her-son-gino-is-the-gorga-of-the-family/
haha lol,prob.
she is gino’s godmother
Well, we pretty much can figure out that neither Teresa or Joe are Baby Joey’s godparents based on what happened at his christening – disgraceful how those parents used that sacred celebration as a way to start out Season 3 with a bang!
Hi All! *waving* Been gone a few days and love to come back to such great blog entries and comments!
I don’t have much to add, other than I can see Melissa’s attraction to Brian – sexy as all he!!….of course I can also see why he dumped her, lol! He is well-shed of that one!
I know,he is hot!!
OMG i was gonna say the same thing lol. He is a hottie!!!!!
But i would also like to post and say if melissas family hates tre…im sure the feelings are the same with tres family! Lol. Im sure no one on teresas side likes melissa either. I know i wouldnt!
I doubt that they like Ms Lookers but the huge difference is that none of the tweet nasty things about her or talk about her to different media outlets. Ms Looker’s sisters, nieces and mom never miss the chance to send nasty tweets about Teresa and Juicy. We all have seen the many articles where Ms Lookers has been quoted saying so pretty damaging things about Teresa.
I agree… he is hot! That was my first thought when I saw his pics. I was going to mention above that I saw someone made a negative comment about his looks. So wrong especially since he didn’t put himself out there. Looks are subjective so keep your nasty judgments to yourself. Although, I think it was simply to put down Melissa.
haha,Melissa just tweeted a page for people i guess to rem her book deal!
Maybe too much caffeine here, lol…but doesn’t this sound like Teresa is Antonia’s Godmother>

“…Earlier on in this season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey we watched Joe and Melissa Gorga throw a lavish sixth birthday party for their daughter, Antonia, and since Season 4 filmed last summer, Antonia celebrated her seventh birthday this Sunday.
Normally a little girl’s birthday would be a happy occasion, but with our Jersey gals it wouldn’t be a celebration without a little drama.
On August 12 Teresa retweeted a series of tweets from followers implying that Melissa and Joe didn’t invite her to Antonia’s birthday, despite the fact that she’s her aunt and godmother.”
The ^^ is referencing the fake cameras rolling fake party Mego had for Antonia – while ignoring her real birthday some time before.
PS: Thanks for the link to faux reality somewhere up above . . . I hope Famey is never discouraged by legal crapola from writing this fun blog!!!!
Seeing if the link is what got me in “moderation”>>

Now the big story is the feud between Teresa and Melissa – sorry but in order to have a “feud” you need two engaged parties. I don’t see the real Gorga (mom and dad) or the Guidice families engaging with Melissa and Joey Gorga. Melissa and company are tools and don’t seem to be able to get past their jealousy and hate to see that.
Fame:
What these so called Melissa fans don’t relize,is if Danielle would have said yes to Melissa and Joe to come on the show and help her attack Teresa,Melissa wouldn’t be able to play the innocent SIL,but she still would have gotten on to the show.Since Danielle said NO, that is the role she has to play,to get her own fame base and make it bigger and better for appreance and more money,and she wouldn’t have to ride Teresa coatails.
In the picture above,Isn’t that the same shirt Teresa weared to her book signing in season 4,but hers(Teresa)was purple?
Hi Brittany. I enjoy reading your comments. I think we share the same views on little Miss Whirga. Off subject I saw where you said your Twitter account was messing up. Mine is to I can’t twit anything and can only see new tweets through other peeps timelines. Is that what yours is doing? I don’t know if I should close it or not????
OH Gawd! This is the synopsis of Missy’s book.
“I’m so excited to be writing a book for all of you that comes out in the fall! LOVE, ITALIAN STYLE.
I was very lucky to make the right decisions and marry someone I love and truly respect. In this book I will be giving you a lot of my secrets of how Joe and I built this life we live and why our marriage works so well! I’m giving you all the secrets of my hot and happy marriage! Yes, I’m going to talk about sex, yes I’m going to talk about beauty & products, & yes I’m going to talk about fitness! But most importantly I’m going to let you how my marriage is not easy and I have to work hard to keep it the way it is every single day. I’m giving you my secrets on how I make my marriage as warm and loving as it is hot and sexy! You are going to love this!”
Sure covering her bases! What she going to do?Talk about kegel exercises! How can she respect her husband if she doesn’t respect his family! If she’s just going to tell people to put their hair up and wack some lippy on for their husbands – she just needs to sell vouchers for any lady magazine AND PS – for someone who never goes to the gym – she’s sure been making a point of telling the world that she goes. Honestly, someone get this lady some PR! She needs a ghost twitter writer!
“So excited for this journey”. . . . .Posting this on her website today – hmmm. Perhaps some PR after all – damage control for what has surfaced in the last few days? She better enjoy the journey she is on right now because the next one will be into oblivion.
This is what I meant by her target demographic – I just went through her TL – the adoration from young women who look to her as an “idol” is almost laughable if it weren’t so sad. “You are the only celebrity I can relate to”, “If I am to be the next you, I’d better start working out right now!”. . . . SMH.
All this does is make Melissa’s head even bigger – if that is physically possible.
This was from a link from her twitter.

What a crock! If she loves and “truly” respects Joe, why *meet up* with your ex? Melissa needs attention… I wouldn’t be surprised if it went beyond her ex. And if Joe came home in tears, like Melissa said, after Teresa told him that Melissa would leave him for a guy with more money, then he obviously believed it was possible. That proves he isn’t secure in their relationship. How “hot and sexy” is that?
Fitness my a$$… Melissa may be thin, but she’s not fit. Big difference.
Oh Lordy how, HOW, can anyone buy what this she-devil is selling? What a con.
Anyone check out Amazon and Caroline’s comments regarding her book that’s coming out? 90% are negative. If she didn’t beat up on Teresa relentlessly, I’m sure things would be much different… she did that to herself. Caroline says that she doesn’t like who she “became” this season… guess that means she’s going to put on a good act season five.
the comments on caroline’s amazon page are gold!! i can’t wait for melissa’s page to come out! it will be the best forum for the mainstream public to see how disliked she is by the invetigative sleuths like us!!
We must tag Melissa’s book in the same manner, and relentlessly.
she cant keep her lies straight
hey would it not be funny (i think yes) for some of you that knows about writing,,, after melgos comic book comes out that one of you write a truth book to contradict hers ,ok since i thought of this i get $5.00.that will be 4.00 more then melwhorgas will get for hers.i crack me up sometimes,this is one of those times
Bwhahaha!
UHHH,something is wrong with my twitter page.I reactivated it,but it shows that I’m not following anyone and there is no one following me.Got an email saying it would be back within an hour,but lol that was yesterday!Hopefully my account will come back to normal:(.
OMG mine is doing the same thing. Do you use an iPhone? I do and I think Apples got a prob. Oh well
Had to make a new one.bbrittany718.
Made a new twitter,let see if it works this time!
@bbrittany718
Lookers cousin is tweeting to Andy and Bravo that Teresa needs to be fired. Another one of her tweets was about Teresa must go but she included #glitteryeyeshadow. Funny since the person wearing the glittery eye shadow at the last reunion with Lookers!
WHy should Teresa be fired? She just goes to work! What is wrong with that family? Wow!
Well if Bravo is going for the teeny bopper viewers that can’t support products and think they can make Melissa the star great. However, their demo audience is 18-49 … not sure firing Teresa would be wise as there is no way in hell Melissa and her skank sisters could carry the show.
Not a chance!
There is no show without Teresa, Bravo’s knows that. Very few people are going to tune into see Meho and her homely sisters. Some people has it, some don’t. They are the ones that don’t. Teresa leaves the show, I will not turn to Bravo along with many others.
I’ve just got to keep believing that someone somewhere in the BRAVO tv/NBC Corporation will follow the $$$$$$$$$$$, and that trail will of course, lead to Teresa Giudice . . . the bean counters can check even the likes of megalomaniac Cohen. Maybe it will happen after Caroline AND Melissa’s EPIC FAIL on book sales?
Clarity……..>”..the bean counters can check even the likes of megalomaniac Cohen.”
By “check”…I mean “check him” as in CONTROL him and his irrational agenda re Teresa. So far the money-counters are seeing profit/ratings from this family dysfunction/gang-up . . . maybe haven’t even noticed the crazazy promotion of Melissa as the “break-out” star?
PS: Why are all my comments “awaiting moderation” lately?
whaddup, I don’t know why WordPress held your last comment in moderation. Also, it put Autumn’s comment in the spam folder. Once in a while things like that happen. You’re all good with me!
They are all angry that Teresa makes three times what they make on the show, and that she has their number. What an epic storyline FAIL they had last year when Jacqueline and Caroline tore Teresa to shreds about magazine articles, which were only about her, by the way, and now Melissa has a contract with U.S. Weekly and all the others live to get in the rag mags. So that is why they hate Teresa? If so, then why do they do it themselves? Why does Bravo think we are so stupid? Jacqueline is now left with no storyline but her autistic son. That is beyond depraved. I wish DCF would investigate her household. That poor, poor, kid. That is all I have to say. And that their are no limits to how low Bravo will stoop to get ratings. No limits. Bravo and Andy have no soul. By the way, there is rampant bullying going on at Epic Productions which produces RHOBH and RHOC. People have quit over it. Straight men are bullied relentlessly and so are those who object to villifying certain housewives like Adrienne Maloof and Alex Bellini.
That goes against NBC’s code of conduct… as a matter of fact, alot of what goes on on the show goes against it.
Oh Sackem, IMO, Bravo is but a little potato is the NBC book. Their network shows much football here and they have Saturday Night Live, to name a few things.
Gotcha Moma! Thanks for the heads up!
Even ppl who are fans of Melissa Gorga, could not possibly believe she & her husband have a great & intimate marriage, to the point they’re qualified to give other ppl advice on how to achieve something similar.
Are there really women out there, married or single–who think Melissa Gorga is going to have sound, sage, motherly advice for them?
How to stay “hot”? How to “keep your man happy”?
Are there ANY WOMEN in this country who really believe that’s MG life–or that they need tips from her ?
Doubt.It.
Alexis Bellino is hated by Andy as much or more than Teresa. The reason why is obvious. He’s as transparent as the housewives.
What twists things a bit is Teresa’s salary. If they wanted Teresa to quit, they wouldn’t be paying her as much as they are nor would she be the highest paid NJ housewife. Bravo also isn’t shy about outright canning a housewife. Many of those who “left on their own” didn’t really leave on their own. Bravo actually let them save face by not publicizing the fact that they were in truth fired. Others Bravo made so miserable they had little choice but to leave.
When they shook up RHoNY by getting rid of four of the housewives, Andy wanted to be a hero and make it known that they were “listening” to viewers. RHoNY numbers dropped quite a bit after the shake-up so that may factor into why they don’t want to chance it with NJ. NJ is one of their biggest money makers. Of course I believe NY ratings dropped for other reasons and not just because they changed the cast so drastically but of course Bravo doesn’t look at the bigger picture. And even though people are complaining about what’s going on in NJ and threatening to stop watching, the numbers don’t back that up.
So Andy, if you’re LISTENING and don’t want to chance firing any of the NJ housewives, at least turn the tables on them. The more you shove Melissa down our throats, the more we feel played… the more we dislike her. You want high ratings? Let’s see some justice.
I believe this kind of happened to Sheree Whitfield RHOA. Idk how much he “disliked” her, but you could tell he realized that her storyline wasn’t really going anywhere as much as she tried. I do think it shows who Andy does and does not like. He certainly gets his digs in. He has that personality that it shows, but I think at the end of the day he could care less, and it is really about who and what franchise is making the $$$$$. He is behind all of the HW franchises, so if one like RHONY & RHOM is doing awful in the ratings, he will clean house and “revamp” it to make the ratings better to save his own ass; also, to make himself look better (like the hero comment posted be4).
Two great posts!
Hi Sackem
Hope you are feeling good considering it is your last couple of weeks.
Last night was last episode fashion show, I have just watched it as I recorded it shortest episode ever has I fast forward manzo etc BORING,
Then it comes to Teresa with Kim going into salon, she says to johnthe greek, say’s please to meet you and the other guy small talk, then head up stairs they walk past Penny who is sitting on a chair no hi, it is her salon isn’t it? this is when you can see the SET-UP oh my lord it is horrible, I know alot are saying these guys had nothing to do with it but Kim, Jac Manzo and I think Melissa knew something Kathy not so much I think they thought she wouldn’t be part of it so left her out, Richie yes.
Going back to Pete Guidice tweets from Sept 18 he was adamant Teresa Joe and his family are not friends with Penny & John.
I maybe wrong and editing has played a huge part in this episode to make Teresa look like the DEVIL I am interested to see what others think.
Cheers
Hi. Wow Australia has finally caught up! I hope Arena fast tracks it for next season – I’ll die!
It’s been a while since I watched the ep so my memory is a bit hazy and I refuse to buy the series to line Cohen’s pockets this time around.
Long story short YES HOW OBVIOUS WAS THE SET UP BUT ON TERESA! Which is what I think you’re saying. I think Kim D had a huge hand it!
Apparently all the ladies were meant to go there that day (and please anyone else jump in) to get their hair done but pulled out so Teresa went on her own. Kim D looks like the cat who got the cream and Teresa looks mortified. Then when you go to the fashion show, you can see she is uncomfortable because she know’s they guy is there! All the ladies are playing on their phones waiting for something to happen because someone told them something was going to happen. This is where the producer Cat comes into it – oh boy there’s alot of ground to cover!
You are spot on with the editing, a contributor noted the jumping around of the meals on the tables.
The only people who did know what was going to happen was Teresa and Kathy – Kathy’s not part of the in crowd I guess! There is also question regarding Joe Gorga and his proximity to the whole thing!
Wow, this reignites my interest in the show again!! I was starting to feel a tiny bit bad for Melissa but I just remembered her feeding her husband his lines to shout at Teresa!

read this – I’m trying to find the link to the Closet Freak video – she does a great summary!!!!
Oh man… it was just here. *smacks head*, I thought it was further up!
teresa DIDNOT KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He can try to revamp all he wants to, once someone is done with a housewives series, well, it is DONE! Really loved NY, but, not this season. I felt insulted by Avivia’s father. The rest was lame. Will I watch again? Perhaps, reruns in a year or two. Except for NJ, I tried watching the others. Maybe it was the family feel of NJ that kept me there. Cough, cough that came to an end. Even Mash had an end. Andy better think, than, think again. These housewives series will not last forever.
I agree! I started watching RHONJ on reruns (season 2) and something had me hooked. I liked the older seasons of RHOC, but the last few seasons of that have been boring and predictable. I stopped watching not even halfway. It seems all franchises seem to have the same formula either with the city itself or as a whole franchise which is Impossible to continue. When he was boasting about how he revamped RHOM, I tried to watch, yet was still uninterested. I think the less cities they try to incorporated the more success they may have with interesting story lines. I think he is trying to do too much with expanding the franchise. For example, stick with the big 4, RHONJ, OC, ATL & NY. Put everything into those and I think it would be interesting again and allow them to continue on longer with the franchises. Plus, maybe dropping HW spinoffs. Thats getting old. LoL
I’ve lurked for so long w/o commenting…this blog is like crack for me
) Really hoping Bryan brings this phony broad down. His Twitter is pure gold! Love, love, love him!!!! Not up on all the backstory of Alexis…don’t like her, but then again, I don’t follow any behind the scenes stuff on any of the other shows. Anyone care to fill me in?
Ola Princess! I only do this one to!
I usually go check out links posted on here but this one seems to be the best!
Just my view on Alexis/OC..I think she was brought on to replace Lynn Curtin/grifter who couldn’t front anymore or sell enough super glued bangles…Aleis and her hub Jim Bellino story line were sort of born-again Christian couple/attending a church similar to the fakery that DeShawn Snow went to ATL/prosperity based? Anyway, Alexis made the fatal “gay comment” – I think opposing gay marriage? (She is so vapid and unlikeable, and despit how I sound, have never been “invested in the OC, other than my disgust and disdain for all things Slade Slimey.) Anyhoo, it’s been downhill in the editing for Alexis ever since (but again, she is so idiotic and the controlling/man of the house/over-involved hub doesn’t help)…she got a gig interning at a local news station, and the editing helped her look even more idiotic than she is….this all culminated with yet another HW’s “trip”, where there was an epic gang-up of Teresa-like proportions . . . ‘cept I don’t think anyone much cares. The Alexis was not coming back/let go/fired/quit during the off-season . . . not sure of the current status.
I didn’t care for the gang-up/bullying of Alexis…but can’t stand her or her husband (he wrote some kind of blog a la Simon NYC house-hub) and hope they don’t come back.
Melissa has been looking incredibly run down in her recent photos. Check out her eyes. They are always bloodshot with extra dark circles and bags. Methinks too many late nights clubbing, swinging and swapping partners and whatever else the tiny man and Messy do when they drop off the kids with their Aunt Lisa.
TASSIE! I can’t find the comment on the thread – read this one to!
And I still can’t find Closet Freak. Help!

Sackem thanks for all info,
Just re-watched after reading what you suggested, I think Caroline certainly had an input with Jac.
When they arrived they were late blaming getting lost, could they have been late because they were all at Kim Gs with joe gorga and company and their friend Tom was there.
I was slightly feeling a bit bad bashing melissa, BUT after this NO.
Also I read on another site about a lady joining the cast Noelle looks similar to the lady in the above thread you suggest I go to Kim melissa and her in furs I may be wrong but looks similar and it was said she was a friend of Teresa.
Thanks again
Yes, every now and again I feel a bit bad but then when I see her in action I feel compelled to stand up for the person getting attacked – Teresa. Now in the “off season”, watching the different way they go about their business it’s very plain to tell who’s doing what for attention. Teresa could be doing just as much press but she’s going about her life, doing her twitter PR to keep in our minds and Melissa is ramming her victim game down our throats. She is ruthless! Her and her family consistently keep the pressure on and the fight alive instead of “moving forward” – the catch cry of the entire season. It’s not Teresa perpetuating the ill will that I can see – Melissa is dragging it out. Case in point the marriage advice book which has swiftly become an exercise manual, going away for Thanksgiving to stay away from Teresa, her sisters, mother and cousin taking to twitter to bad mouth Teresa – one calling for her to be fired. Teresa’s response – silence. And I kinda respect her for that! Melissa’s digging her own hole. She’s getting close to saturation point and viewers will switch off!
