@angelacalce80 It Ain’t So!!!
2:33 p.m. – Mar 3, 2013

On February 28, 2013, Joe and Melissa were photographed having a conversation with Penny Drossos, which suggested a reconciliation was in progress. In the photo above from Bergen.com, Penny is seen talking to the Gorgas at Chakra in Paramus. According to Bergen.com, “Melissa Gorga and her husband Joe Gorga stopped by with a few friends while filming a scene for the upcoming season of RHONJ.” [Click here for more photos from the event.]

A source told Fame-Whorgas that during the Bravo-arranged meeting Penny had with Joe and Melissa Gorga at Chakra in Paramus on February 28, 2013, Joe and Melissa were making accusations against Teresa in an attempt to get Penny to say that Teresa was complicit in arranging the phone call at the Holiday Posche Fashion on December 3, 2012, the call where a friend of Penny’s tells Teresa that he witnessed Melissa cheating on Joe Gorga. According to my source, Joe and Melissa told Penny that Teresa is calling her a stalker, and Penny, trying to protect Teresa while also defending herself against the accusations, took out her cell phone to show Joe that she has Teresa’s home phone number, cell number and text messages between them. In addition, my source said Penny told Joe and Melissa that she’ll have to take up the accusations with Teressa. According to my source, based on hearsay on Twitter, “it’s deemed accurate that Teresa called her a stalker, and Penny won’t stand for false accusations.”

Also, in a conversation that Penny had with Teresa about a week earlier, on February 18 at the Milania Hair Care launch party, Teresa asked Penny in front of Joe and Melissa, “Are we friends?” to which Penny replied, “We are cordial.” Teresa asked her what she meant, and Penny explained that they don’t go to each others homes, etc. and added, “We are acquaintances.” Teresa responded by saying, “Like when you come to my events,” and Penny interrupted her and said, “No, Teresa, when I come to the events you invite me to.” It seems that Teresa was trying to prove to Joe and Melissa that she was not speaking to Penny other than at the events Penny attended for season 5 but, according to my source, it can be proven that Teresa is misleading Joe and Melissa as well as others.

On February 27, 2013, Life & Style reported, exclusively, that Joe Gorga is defending his wife against the cheating allegations. About Byran ‘Bulldog’ Bowen,’ the magazine reports that Joe said: “Ha, ha, ha” and explained, “If there were skeletons in my closet I would never have gone on the show.” He also told Life & Style: “The poor girl keeps getting all this abuse for no reason. They find a good mom with a good image, and it’s like, ‘How can we take her down’?” [It is odd that he said "my" closet instead of "my wife's closet" since the cheating rumors are about her, not him.]

On February 28, 2013, Starcasm reported that Teresa Guidice and Melissa Gorga called a truce and that Joe Gorga is ready to move on too. Teresa was quoted as saying: “Everything is good” and “you have to let things go.” According to their source: “The two attended a cast retreat in Lake George, NY were they hashed things out and agreed to put the past in the past for the sake of their family — especially their children.” [The cast trip to Lake George was February 10-12, 2013 — click here for the season 5 shooting schedule.]

However, on February 15, 2013, just days after the cast returned from their trip to Lake George where they supposedly worked out their differences, Melissa retweeted the RumorFix article that blamed Teresa for Melissa’s cheating scandal:

Furthermore, the February 28th Starcasm story contradicts a story by RumorFix on February 20, 2013. Acccording to RumorFix, they spoke exclusively to Joe Gorga, who said: “It’s a dirty situation right now.” He also said the women agreed to do another season of RHONJ together, but “they are not in a good place.” Joe stated that fans will see pictures of Melissa and Teresa posing together, but they are only doing photo ops for the show. “We’re family,” an emotional Joe told RumorFix. “She’s my blood, my sister … My heart is always open for her. When she’s really ready, without any of the bulls**t, I’m waiting for her.”

On a related topic, according to RadarOnline, Teresa and Joe Giudice recently double dated with Jacqueline and Chris Laurita, but it may all have been for show since it was taped by Bravo. Their source said: “Teresa knows what makes for good TV, and that is fighting. She’s been trying to get more people to be friendlier to her this season, but she knows she has to bring the drama for the ratings, and she’s definitely planning on doing that this season.”

Lisa Vanderpump Revealed as Contestant on DWTS

For the first time, ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” cast a Housewife, Lisa Vanderpump, from the Bravo franchise “The Real Housewives”. According to ET Online:

Dancing with the Stars 16 is set to debut on March 26 and on moments ago, Good Morning America revealed the next crop of contestants who will battle for that Mirror Ball Trophy!

Joining previously announced NFL wide receiver Jacoby Jones are Wynonna Judd, D.L. Hughley, Lisa Vanderpump, Andy Dick, Victor Ortiz, Zendaya Coleman, Aly Raisman, Ingo Rademacher, Kellie Pickler and Dorothy Hamill.

Update March 12, 2013: it was announced on “Good Morning America” that Bachelor Sean Lowe was added to the cast.

It’s also been announced that Derek Hough, Cheryl Burke, Tony Dovolani, Karina Smirnoff, Peta Murgatroyd, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Mark Ballas, and Tristan MacManus will be returning to compete as professional dancers while Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Chelsie Hightower, Louis van Amstel and Anna Trebunskaya will be sitting this year out.

Maksim sent out a statement about his departure after the announcement of the new cast Tuesday morning.

“I just want to set the record straight to all of my amazing fans that I will unfortunately not be returning for this season of Dancing with the Stars. I’ve been a Pro dancer on the show for about seven years now and am eager to explore other opportunities that have been made possible because of the show. I’m going to take this time to dive into producing and acting, while fulfilling my sponsorship obligations.

A big thank you to all of my fans for your never-ending support. I also want to thank the entire cast and production of Dancing with the Stars.”

Dancing with the Stars premieres March 26 on ABC.

Lisa will be dancing with new professional Gleb Savchenko (pictured below).

Melissa has been campaigning to be cast on DWTS since January 2012:

“Look who I’m with… @maksimc @tonydovolani @DancingABC #dwts http://lockerz.com/s/1780981055″ – Melissa Gorga, Twitter, January 26, 2012

Pictured above at a “Dancing With The Stars” charity event in January 2012: Jacqueline Laurita. Maksim Chmerkoviskiy, Melissa Gorga, Kathy Wakile, Tony Dovolani & Maria Chappa

Here is Melissa’s tweet/retweet on December 21, 2012, asking her followers, “Which reality star would you love to see on DWTS?”:

In Bravo’s lost footage of Melissa and Antonia taking ballroom dancing lessons, Melissa says:

“I can’t lie. Antonia is definitely a little mini me. She loves the spotlight. She’s absolutely gorgeous. And she’s got moves, this little girl. You know, she gets it from her mama.”

Joe Gorga Attended DWTS Maksim’s Birthday Party But Not Gia and Milania’s Joint Party

Bryan ‘Bulldog’ Bowen is Not the ‘Mike’ Who Talked on the Phone to Teresa Giudice at the Holiday PFS on December 3, 2012

A source told Fame-Whorgas: “All the stuff about Bryan and Love being friends and her hating Mel are very true. Bryan did not sell any stories, but they have been talking to his friends, and more of his friends will be coming forward because they are tired of what the Marcos are trying to do to Bryan. I think no one came forward because Melissa was pretty much a joke around TR (Toms River); but now that she is trying to hurt people (outside of Teresa’s family), people are getting angry.”

Bryan ‘Bulldog’ Bowen’s identity was revealed here at Fame-Whorgas on January 16, 2013. According to a source, he is Melissa Gorga’s ex boyfriend who she lived with for two to three years before moving in with Joe Gorga in October 2003 (the source says she lived with some girlfriends for a few months before moving in with Joe).

According to the source, he is not the person Penny Drossos called and who Teresa Giudice talked to on the phone at the Holiday PFS on December 3, 2013, as reported by RadarOnline — their source is wrong and intentionally misrepresenting facts. My source says Bryan has not been filmed and Penny has never spoken to him on the phone on camera.

My source confirms that the person Penny called and Teresa talked to about Melissa’s alleged infidelity is named Mike (his real name), a good friend to both Byran and Penny’s husband, John Karagiorgis. When Penny asked Bryan if she could call him from the Holiday Posche Fashion Show on December 3, 2013, he said, “No,” and told her to ask Mike instead because “he’s crazy enough to do it.” According to my source, Mike was one of the friends at the Sushi Lounge the night Melissa hooked up with Bryan in a car in the parking lot, and their friends (Melissa’s and Bryan’s), who were there that night, witnessed it. It was because there were witnesses that the Sushi Lounge story made its way around the internet… witnesses came forward, not Bryan.

Bryan denies that he was the person Teresa talked to on the phone on December 3, 2012:

“@jenbradleylopez @fauxrealityent I have a best friend name mike if that’s what they’re confusing it with lol and he could careless lol” – Bryan Bowen ‏(@bulldog_nj), February 11, 2013, Twitter

Clarifying whether he has agreed to appear on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, on February 5, 2013, Bryan told CYInterview:

“No it’s not true, not at all. As a matter of fact, I have not even spoken to any of the producers. So it’s news to me.” On whether Mr. Bowen would like to be on The Real Housewives of New Jersey: “I have no plans on being on the show. I guess, however, you know if the circumstances are right for me, I gotta believe I’d consider it.”

Based on a recent Twitter exchange between John Karagiorgis and Bryan Bowen, it is easy to deduce that the person Penny called and Teresa talked to was someone named Mike Chick. A source told Fame-Whorgas that Mike’s last name is not Chick — Chick is a nickname. The source also said Mike requested that his last name not be disclosed. Here is the Twitter conversation where John Karagiorgis mentions Mike Chick to Bryan:

John Karagiorgis ‏@JohnnyTheGrk
@bulldog_nj Careful, now she’s reciting her song lyrics. Btw, I saw Crazy Mike Chick. He finds this hilarious & says what up. Lol
24 Jan 13

Bryan ‏@bulldog_nj
@JohnnyTheGrk lol what’s that nut up to? He knows what time it was back then and is now lol

John Karagiorgis ‏@JohnnyTheGrk
@bulldog_nj Still a fukin nut. He was hacky sacking gum. Gum kept hitting floor & his crazy ass still chewed it. Lol
24 Jan 13

John Karagiorgis ‏@JohnnyTheGrk
@bulldog_nj He also said “Tell him I’m in”. LMFAO
24 Jan 13

Here are two blog comments about ‘Mike C’ that were posted long before the phone call to Mike was taped by Bravo on December 3, 2012:

“Are you f*cking kidding me Melissa? Does this advice [include] meeting your ex at Sushi Lounge 2 years ago? Or your other ex’s in Bayonne or Lyndhurst? Dying for explanation! But we’ll get that when your skank ass is exposed by Penny & Johnny and don’t you worry, we’re all lining up. Tommy, Vinny, Mike C, Freddy C, and that’s just naming a few.” – ‘The Source’, April 9, 2012, AllAboutTRH

“Those photos are going to be coming out soon, you know, the ones of her with her ex, while she was married to Joe Gorga. The photos could be with one of the boys from Bayonne, another ex in Lyndhurst, Tommy, Butch/Bulldog, Brian, Ronald aka Gus, MikeC, Freddy, Vinny, or how about ‘group sex pics’ during spring break, OR how about someone that hasn’t been named yet, haha. There is plenty more that hasn’t been put out there yet. Mel has nothing to worry about right………..LOL.” – JanShe, May 30, 2012, AllAboutTRH

Gia Giudice Post Photos of Herself Hanging Out with the Gorga’s Kids; Melissa Gorga Only Attends Birthday Parties Taped by Bravo; RHONJ Cast Attends Nephcure Foundation Event; Melissa Tweets About Teresa and Family; Milania’s Real Birthday Party Was on February 2

Pictured above is the cast of RHONJ attending a Nephcure Foundation Charity Event (a Zumba class on Long Island) on February 22, 2013: only Teresa Giudice tweeted about the event, so it appears the others were there only because it was mandated by Bravo.

On February 23, 2013, Teresa tweeted a photo of her and her brother at the Milania Hair Care launch party, saying,

“With my brother Joey~ love him.”

Melissa replied with the following tweet:

@Teresa_Giudice love this! Loved spending a couple days together with the kids #muchneeded

After recent stories about Melissa’s alleged infidelity hit the print tabloids, the Giudices and Gorgas seem to have reunited, at least for the cameras. A source says that at her Milania Hair Care launch party, Teresa begged Penny Drossos to quash it with Melissa Gorga. And a few days later Gia Giudice posted photos (see below) of herself hanging out with the Gorga’s kids, Antonia, Gino and Joey – based on Gia’s outfit, these photos seem to be from the same day as the Nephcure Foundation charity event (see photo above) on February 22, 2013, an event attended by the RHONJ cast (attendance probably was mandated by Bravo).

Has Joe Gorga finally stepped up to support his sister? Does he believe the allegations about Melissa cheating on him? Are the Gorgas showing Teresa support simply to quell the rumors?

On January 11, 2013, Melissa attended Gia Giudice’s birthday party because it was taped by Bravo. Milania Giudice’s birthday celebration was on February 2, 2013, but Melissa did not attend because it wasn’t on Bravo’s shooting schedule.

Also, there were no tweets from Melissa Gorga, Joe Gorga, Kathy Wakile or Rosie Pierri wishing Milania a happy birthday.

However, Melissa did tweet Victoria Wakile for her birthday on January 17, 2013:

“Happy birthday to the beautiful @VictoriaWakile & @richardwakile hope you enjoy your night together! Xoxox”

Futhermore, Melissa also did not attend her goddaughter Gabriella Giudice’s party held on October 4, 2012, during the hiatus in filming.

The following are all of the tweets dating back to March 5, 2012 from Melissa wishing her friends and family ‘Happy Birthday’ — she purposely excluded the Giudices:

The Giudices and Gorgas Present a United Front for the Cameras at Teresa’s Milania Hair Care Launch Party (Updated 2/21/2013)

RumorFix spoke exclusively to the man in the middle, Joe Gorga, who says, “It’s a dirty situation right now.” He says the women agreed to do another season of RHONJ together, but, “they are not in a good place.” Joe tells us fans will see pictures of Melissa and Teresa posing together, but they are only doing photo ops (like one for a Milania Hair Care event on February 18) for the show. “We’re family,” an emotional Joe tells RumorFix exclusively. “She’s my blood, my sister … My heart is always open for her. When she’s really ready, without any of the bulls**t, I’m waiting for her.” – Joe Gorga Exclusive: Melissa Gorga & Teresa Giudice Did Not Make Up!, February 20, 2013, RumorFix

Teresa Giudice, Joe Giudice, Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga attended the Milania Professional Hair Care Launch Party at Stone House at Stirling Ridge on February 18, 2013 in Warren, New Jersey (Kim D, Penny Drossos, Jennifer Dalton and Priscialla DiStasio also attended; the Wakiles, Manzos and Lauritas did not attend). The Giudices and Gorgas were photographed together with smiles on their faces, although Melissa’s smile looks forced. Click here for more photos.

“#confirmations just heard from @Teresa_Giudice all is good w her joe and Melissa now!! Yay!! #rhonj” – Mr. Housewife ‏@realmrhousewife, February 16, 2013, Twitter

With Melissa’s past coming back to haunt her, the two families are presenting a united front, but there never will be lasting peace in the Gorga family as long as Melissa is a part of it. Just the other day the Marco clan was retweeting the RumorFix article that blamed Teresa for Melissa’s cheating scandal.

“Wendy Williams Goes Off on ‘Jersey Housewives’ – Wait til you hear what she said! READ HERE: RumorFix http://bit.ly/VVFeTg” – Retweeted by Melissa Gorga, February 15, 2013

Jersey_Girl posted a comment at Fame-Whorgas on February 20, 2013, describing what happened at the Milania launch party — I talked to my source, and the source confirms what Jersey_Girl said. Here is Jersey_Girl’s comment:

“I was at the event with Penny’s party and can say Penny served the Gorgas with plenty. Joe and Melissa were scared to say a word. No, Mario wasn’t there as a bodyguard — that was said as a Danielle Staub joke. Mario is High School friends with Penny and Johnny and was there with his girlfriend. We all jumped in the limo and went to event from Penny’s house. Actually joked about Mario playing bodyguard.

“There was plenty of action at the event and Penny was in control. Melissa and Joe shit when Penny went up to them. Funny thing was they kept complaining about Johnny’s twitter. It was hilarious.

“Yea, there was a reconciliation, but you’ll never guess with who.

“There were no pictures of Penny with the others because Penny refused to take picturess with any of them except the pictures she took with us, her real friends. They tried to ambush Penny and once she opened her mouth they all backed up because Penny had others at the event ready to jump in at any time. Penny was ready for everyone, and they realized it when they saw the faces behind her ready to jump in. They all looked like deers in headlights and shit the floor. Lol.”

My source says the reconciliation was not between Melissa and Teresa or between the two Joes. Apparently, the producers wanted Melissa and Joe to confront Penny about the phone call she placed to Mike (a friend of Bryan Bowen‘s and Penny’s husband, John), who told Teresa that Melissa cheated on Joe with Bryan for five or six years, starting almost from the beginning of her marriage. But Penny knew a confrontation was planned so she had people there at every table, some (including an old boyfriend and an old girlfriend of Melissa’s) who could confirm what Mike told Teresa during the phone call at the Holiday Posche Fashion Show on December 3, 2012, and this is why Melissa chickened out. The producers told Penny to go up to Melissa and Joe, and when she did, Teresa came in the middle of them and begged Penny to quash it with Melissa. Penny agreed to a reconciliation as long as Melissa and her minions stopped with the threats and outbreaks on Twitter against Penny’s family… and if she reneges on the promise, the game is on!

So my source tells a different story than the source for AllThingsRH, whose insider told her:

Bravo DID film the event! The plan for the evening was that Joe Gorga was going to confront Penny Drossos about the cheating scandal surrounding Bryan “Bulldog” Bowen and his wife, Melissa. Joe and Melissa were also going to attempt to make peace with Teresa at the launch. “When Joe was going to confront Penny, Teresa was going to confirm that Penny was the one that told her about Bulldog and Penny was going to be portrayed as the desperate trouble maker who is trying to do anything to get on TV,” our insider reveals. Our source reveals that when Joe went to approach Penny, he chickened out! “When Joe went up to Penny she was waiting to blast him, because she had her body-builder friend, Mario, there with her to protect her. Instead he asked where her husband Johnny The Greek was,” our source explains, and Penny told Joe that Johnny was working. “So even though Penny was basically ordered by Bravo to be at the event, their plans for the set up failed!” Who was going to set who up this time? “It was a double cross,” our insider explains.

Recently on Twitter, Pete Giudice and some of Teresa’s fans started tweeting with @QueenzofMedia, and defending @franksabean (who Pete and Sheila Giudice follow and tweet). This shift occurred right after Bryan Bowen, provoked by QoM (they posted about his assault charges and his brain tumor surgery and then brought his parents into the mess), tweeted about the alleged rape charge against Joe Gorga when he was in college (apparently there is no record of any charge). Bryan quickly deleted the tweet, and it probably would have gone virtually unnoticed had AllAboutTRH not published a story about it.

Remember, Bryan didn’t sign up for this and isn’t being paid by Bravo to air his dirty laundry (he is a private citizen) — the Gorgas and Giudices signed contracts agreeing to give up their privacy (they are ‘public figures’) in exchange for fame, the perks that come with being a ‘celebrity’, a Bravo paycheck, and the opportunity to market products on the Bravo network and the Bravo website via their blogs (and on their own personal websites).

The following are the tweets right after Byran’s tweet at 2:53 PM on February 4, 2013 (the one he quickly deleted).

According to @FauxRealityEnt, RHONJ storylines are now being dictated by Twitter for damage control and spin. Also according to Faux, who supposedly attended the Milania Hair Care launch party, someone named Mario Petris (@MarioPetris) was at the party while Bravo was taping, and the entire night was a discussion about Twitter.

“@JohnnyTheGrk I hope everything went well with @PDKhair at the launch =D.” – Sunshine ‏(@Sunshine1335), February 19, 2013, Twitter

“@Sunshine1335 @PDKhair She came back in one piece. Lol” – John Karagiorgis ‏(@JohnnyTheGrk), February 19, 2013, Twitter

“Great night penny was safe lol @JohnnyTheGrk” – Mario Petris ‏(@MarioPetris), February 19, 2013, Twitter

The following are tweets from/to Faux about how Twitter is dictating RHONJ storylines.

Kathy Wakile’s Tweet About Joe Gorga and Richie Promoting Sizzle Tan Gets a Reaction from Melissa Gorga’s Ex, Brian ‘Bulldog’ Bowen

Kathy Wakile tweeted (see above) about Joe Gorga and Richie Wakile appearing for a ‘meet and greet’ at the grand opening of a Sizzle Tan (Teresa was their spokesperson before season 3) in Rockway on February 19, 2013.

Kathy’s tweet prompted a series of tweets about her association with @QueenzofMedia, who has launched several Twitter attacks on Melissa’s ex boyfriend, Byran Bowen (@bulldog_nj) in an attempt to silence and discredit him (Melissa allegedly had an affair with him during her marriage to Joe).

After Kathy tweeted about the ‘meet and greet’ at Sizzle Tan, @FauxRealityEnt tweeted about the Wakiles associating with QoM:

@krafte63 This is with whom Wakile associate. They were told & did nothing re: @bulldog_nj’s tumor #Frauds pic.twitter.com/Czk34Q8j

This prompted Byran (who had brain surgery to remove a tumor on 9/11/12 — part of it couldn’t be removed) to tweet this:

I had Brain Surgery 9/11/12 & soon will need another1. They wished me dead & told me go to the wizard of oz for a new brain. whosaysthat

I can’t sit back & listen to the bullshit Nomore. Spokes person 4brain tumors but you associate with people who attack people W/Them! gimabreak

If you didn’t see what they said everyone soon will. These people attack my disability & try to discredit me. Not gonna work!! U will b exposed!

people don’t have to like everyone but 2attack someones life threating disability & pretend to be great people is just beyond me.

Kathy Wakile regularly tweets with QoM (as do Melissa’s sister Kim and Lysa):

On January 24, 2013, Bryan tweeted that he got a phone call saying:

Melissa seldom tweets QoM – she leaves the dirty work to her minions so she can keep her hands clean – but she did tweet them recently:

Kathy Wakile’s daughter had surgery to remove a brain tumor when she was younger, so you would think Kathy would chastise her buddy QueenzofMedia and end her association with them because of what they and their followers tweeted about Bryan’s tumor.

According to Kathy on her website, she was the keynote speaker for the Children’s Brain Cancer Foundation in New York City on October 14, 2012:

This past week I was asked to give the keynote speech at the Children’s Brain Cancer Foundation in New York City. After speaking to all of the families, the biggest thing that we found to be in common is that often times, your children could be easily misdiagnosed. But as mothers, itʼs so important to rely on your intuition; if you think thereʼs something wrong, you need to be our childʼs strongest advocate. Insist on more tests, seek another opinion. More than likely itʼs not your imagination, no one knows their own children better than mommy.

On January 31, 2012, The Wakile Family hosted a fashion charity event fashion show to “raise awareness for the ‘YK Foundation’, which support brain tumors (click here for Victoria Wakile’s story).

Some are tweeting that they will organize protests at events hosted by the Wakiles until they no longer condone the behavior of QoM and their followers:

Deborah ‏@krafte63
@FauxRealityEnt @bulldog_nj OMG! Thats awful. I will make it my goal to find out who is hiring them to promote and host.

@krafte63 I hope you do Deborah. At that point calls and tweets need to ensue to stop them.Terrible/Disgusting.

Faux Reality Ent ‏@FauxRealityEnt
@krafte63 @bulldog_nj I will organize protest for any event @KathyWakile is asked to host until she stops condoning & speaks against #Frauds

A Question for Patti Stanger — Do You Think Joe Gorga Should Leave Melissa for Cheating on Him?

From Bravo’s The Dish:

During her Watch What Happens Live special on Valentine’s Day, Patti Stanger was doling out love advice for Bravo couples. In true Patti fashion, words were hardly minced, and when it came to Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe, Patti said that she thought Teresa should consider dumping Joe. In fact, here’s what she said, verbatim:

“Ugh. Teresa, you know that I got your back, you know that I love you, but this is a bad dude. Get rid of him — and call me.”

Needless to say, Teresa isn’t exactly thrilled with The Millionaire Matchmaker’s humble opinion, and on Friday she decided to hit back on Twitter. With a seemingly calm and loving demeanor, Teresa tweeted:

“Last night @pattistanger with @bravoandy all relationships are a work in progress. One can only judge by walking in someone’s shoes. XOXO”

Patti was quick to respond, replying directly to the tweet saying that she was only hoping for the best for Teresa and the family:

“@Teresa_Giudice @bravoandy I love u n want the best for u n the kids.”

Now why would Andy ask Patti what she thought of Teresa’s marriage — the heavily edited scene in the vineyard was from a year and a half ago (September 2011)?

When asked, “Was Joe Giudice talking to a woman on the phone in Napa; did he forget to turn off his mic?”, a former RHONJ post production supervisor, speaking to a cousin on September 17, 2012, responded: “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.”

Of course, Andy Cohen did not ask Patti what she thought about the Life & Style COVER story with the headline “Melissa Cheated on Joe!,” which came out the day before, February 13, 2013.

“Melissa went out to dinner at Sushi Lounge, a local restaurant, and left early to go hook up with Bulldog.” – Source for Life & Style Magazine, ‘Melissa Cheated on Joe!”, February 13, 2013

“Bulldog’s real name is Brian Bowen, who is her ex boyfriend & she met with him in Sushi Lounge parking lot [in 2009]” … Their friends who were with them at the Lounge witnessed them hooking up in the car… the car was rockin’! (not an exact quote, but paraphrased). – Source to Fame-Whorgas, October & December 2012

“A scene was filmed at the season 5 Holiday PFS on December 3, 2012, where Kim D and Penny approached Teresa with information about Melissa’s infidelity, and Teresa agreed to a phone call with someone (not Bryan) who confirmed that Melissa cheated on Joe multiple times after they were married.” – Source to Fame-Whorgas, October & December 2012

“Penny Drossos-Karagiorgis, Teresa’ friend and a salon owner, is responsible for getting Bulldog to spread his story.” – Source for Life & Style Magazine, ‘Melissa Cheated on Joe!”, February 13, 2013

No woman has ever come forward alleging Joe cheated on Teresa, yet there are strong allegations against Melissa; however, the Andy Cohen machine (Us Weekly, Wendy Williams, Anderson Cooper, Kelly Ripa, Kathy Griffin, Patti Stanger, etc.) wants to stifle the truth about that.

The following are January 2013 tweets from Melissa’s ex, Bryan ‘Bulldog’ Bowen (@bulldog_nj), who she had an extramarital affair with:

“I don’t have to look in her mirror or live with her. She has to do that all by herself. I know the TRUTH & so does she.”

“Follow the arrows it will all ad up! I have nothing to gain or lose.. Didn’t even wanna be involved in this.”

“So I get the phone call today that she says she’s not worried about me making it on the show because my tmor is back and I will be dead.”

“They’re hoping I will just go away ‘NOW’ or like she said, Die from my tumor. We’ll I’m not and I am ALIVE TODAY! Never wake a sleeping Giant!”

“Just so this clear, I’m not trying to make anyone believe anything. I just speak the truth! It’s how I roll.   “

“I am in to good of a place in Life, they can say whatever they want about me far far away.”

[I live close to the sister, all they want is fame! They have nothing worth noting] “@krafte63 1st off, u just said I was in with them, now u say they have nothing worth nothing. Wrong, they have Children! U shouldn’t go there!”

“She can’t make me look bad cause I have made mistakes in life and I own up to them. I am not perfect, who is!?I can look myself in the mirror.”

[She won't meet you on a show. She will "leak" bs]  She won’t cause I can say too much. I’m the one who has all the answers to everyone’s questions, the TRUTH.”

“I have to say I have chewed tougher steaks then anyone that has every been on the show rhwnj #justsaying. If the time comes I will keep it real, that is a promise.”

“Some things are right some are wrong. I don’t have to proof anything to anyone, but if this keeps up, the best is yet to come & I haven’t even gotten started…always be yourself.”

“Right now there thinking how dare he lol, but it’s ok when you do the dirty work to others right!? lol no one knows better than I do.”

“It’s ok, she’s so desperate to keep her fake image & fake fame, that’s the level she is going to. I’m all good! Xo.”

“Let me set something straight I don’t Hate anyone, it’s not in my heart TODAY! Like I said if confronted I will just tell the TRUTH! “

“Man talk about the possibility of the “perfect storm” coming… Hmmm I just found some interesting pictures with dates on them.. Hmmm.”

Patti made matters worse by later tweeting (at 4:25 PM on February 15, 2013):

“When a man doesnt work is in trouble with the law, talks to other woman n gets callin his wife a biotch, should a woman stay?”

Some of Patti’s Twitter followers gave her a piece of their minds about her comments regarding Joe and Teresa’s marriage, to which she responded in typical Bravo fashion (her responses are in italics):

Patti Stanger ‏@pattistanger
“@JennaDeVine: @FauxRealityEnt @pattistanger Richie 4 making that horrid comment bout Kathy smelling like fish!” love kathie, so real.

LoveMontana ‏@IIlvMontana
@pattistanger @Teresa_Giudice @BravoAndy you are a very mean oldmaid might be better to clam it you are making it worse phoney

Patti Stanger ‏@pattistanger
“@FauxRealityEnt So why didn’t @pattistanger have the balls to tell #ManzoBoys and Caro to cut the cord already!” not my place.

Patti Stanger ‏@pattistanger
“@Dorisrocky: @girl0nFlRE @pattistanger @Teresa_Giudice @BravoAndy that is why you are single bitch!!” not single sweetie catch the f up.

When asked by AllAboutTRH on October 10, 2012, if she ever told Jacqueline that Joe cheated on her, Teresa said:

“I never told Jacqueline any of that. If I had proof of Joe cheated on me, I wouldn’t be with him. I’m just not made that way. I know some people would stick with their husbands even if they did that but to each their own. It would be unfortunate but I would definitely not stay with Joe.”

[The whole Marco clan was retweeting the RumorFix article blaming Teresa for Melissa's cheating scandal]

This is the summation from RumorFix blog:

Talk show host Wendy Williams has quickly come to the defense of one of her favorite Housewives.

On Friday, Wendy opened her show with a rant against the Bravo network’s Real Housewives of New Jersey. Williams took a stand and defended Melissa Gorga who was called out for cheating on her husband, Joe, in this week’s Life&Style.

The outspoken host made it clear that she does not believe the accusations against Melissa and sharply warned Bravo that RHONJ producers are gonna have to “do better than this or just shut down the [Real Houswives] franchise.”

Wendy went on to point her finger at Melissa’s enemies on the show, Teresa Giudice and Kim D. She called them “troublemakers” and said the the whole plot line to destroy Melissa is “very tiring” and that it’s time for producers to “come up with newer and fresh material!”

So let me get this straight Wendy…………it’s perfectly fine to disect Teresa’s marriage but once it comes to your beloved Melissa, now Bravo is going too far???????????

She doesn’t believe the accusations. That’s okay. Her opinion. But to call out Teresa as the one doing this is just plain wrong.

This, again, is why I go crazy with NJ & defend Teresa. Teresa’s the troublemaker. Teresa is out to destroy the family.

In MY opinion, it has been Melissa all along. But Wendy Williams, Kelly Ripa, all of the WWHL guests that Bravo books…………they are all against Teresa. Saying she should leave the show.

My rant is done!!!
