Joey Gorga Posts Video of His 3-Year-Old Son Joey Simulating Masterbating While Dancing at a Communion Party; No Birthday Party for Little Joey, AGAIN!

UPDATE 5/15/2013: Joe Gorga finally deleted the video from telly.com. This was a day after a source told Fame-Whorgas that they received a follow-up phone call from a representative of NJDCP&P (Child Protective Services) about a complaint they filed regarding Joe Gorga’s video posting (the person told the representative about the issues they thought were most pressing; i.e., the pool scene, the video and (most disturbing) the Twitter photos (of little Joey urinating in a bush and Joe boasting about the size of his private parts, which Joe later deleted from Twitter). They explained how they felt the need to make the complaint because for years child actors were exploited and now these reality children needed a champion as the child actors found in Jackie Cooper. The CPS representative agreed and assured the complainant that there will be an investigation.

In a video posted by Joe Gorga (which was taken at Antonia’s best friend’s First Holy Communion party), Joe Gorga shouts, “Joey, do the move again, do the move again!”, and little Joey (who just turned 3-years-old), giggling, bends over, touches his hands to the floor, and shakes his booty. He then pops up and uses his hand in a gesture that only could be described as simulated masterbation. Lysa Simpson tries to stop him as the crowd roars in laughter. Then Joe Gorga can be heard shouting, “What are you doing?!” Finally, almost 30 seconds into his “dance,” Melissa enters the frame, smacks his fingers, and engages little Joey to redirect him.

The “move” Joe Gorga was asking Joey to do probably was him bending over and shaking his booty, and little Joey added the simulated masterbation “move” himself. Of course, he is barely 3-years-old, so he had to have seen someone doing that, and at least more than once, to imitate it so effectively. The question is, why would Joe Gorga boast about it by tweeting a video for the world to see, proudly proclaiming that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the TARZAN tree!!!”?

“Mel, are you parking your loaner Bentley and Lambo in front of your foreclosed or rented house, while wearing your borrowed clothes after attending all the free parties? Do your kids a favor and turn them over to Lysa to raise and in return you can have visitation. Wait – she’s already doing that! Ok, well, maybe Lysa should make it legal and request supervised visitation since she knows how to buckle them up and you don’t. On April 27th Lysa tweeted a picture of baby Joey in a car seat saying happy birthday, and Mel tweeted a picture of Joey’s fabulous B-day dinner, not party. Just what every 3-year-old wants – dinner! Did the kids eat free and did the staff clap and sing to him as they presented his free mini cake, or did the restaurant pick up the entire tab? Damn girl, you must be exhausted after all the effort you put into making his day so special…. Were you stopped for speeding on the way to Lysa’s house to drop them off or had you just picked them up? I’m so thankful I’m not like you! – Calypso, May 2, 2013, Fame-Whorgas

Joey Gorga Jr.’s third birthday was on April 27th. The Gorgas went out to dinner with the kids for his birthday, just like last year. Melissa tweeted the following on Joey’s birthday:

“It’s my precious Joey’s 3rd Birthday Today! I love this kid so much.. http://instagram.com/p/YnVjSJpC9T/“

“Joey’s loving his birthday dinner! #familia http://instagram.com/p/YoZG7cJC-A/“

As you can see in the photo above, only the immediate family was present; however, Joey was with his Aunt Lysa, Melissa’s sister, earlier in the day — she tweeted the photo (above) of him strapped in his car seat.

For three years running the Gorgas have not thrown a birthday party for Joey; in other words, he has never had a birthday party. Melissa found time on May 1st, three days after Joey’s birthday, to tape a WWHL special, and she then headed over to OK Magazine’s ‘So Sexy’ party (photos below) with other D-list celebrities (Kathy Wakile and Rosie Pierri were among the attendees | a West coast version of the party with Brandi Glanville was held on April 18th).

“Just left the clubhouse with cutie @BravoAndy for a #wwhl special… Now heading to @OKMagazine sexy singles party:-)” – Melissa Gorga, May 1, 2013, Twitter

The only parties the Gorgas have thrown for any of their kids was the one thrown for Antonia’s first birthday and the one thrown for her sixth birthday in front of Bravo cameras during season 4 (the cake and party favors were comped in exchange for free advertising on the show and in Melissa’s Bravo blog for the episode).

Ten days after Gino’s birthday last year on September 12th (he was with his Aunt Lysa on his birthday), the Gorgas went to Medieval Times (click here to see photos) and tweeted that they were there for Gino’s birthday party:

On Antonio’s birthday on August 12th of last year, Melissa tweeted that she “chose not to have a party this year” and instead they were going to take her to Great Adventure:

What a great day with Antonia! She chose not to have a party this year, she wants us to take her to Great Adventure!! #loveher – Melissa Gorga, August 12, 2012, Twitter

The Gorgas were partying at their beach house with other adults on Antonia’s birthday (photo below), and even though they went to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ, a month later for Melissa’s performance during “Gay Night Out” at the park, they didn’t bring their children with them. Since Antonia’s birthday last August, Melissa has not tweeted anything more about taking the kids to Great Adventure.

On April 27th, Teresa was with her daughters. She tweeted the following, but nothing about Joey’s birthday:

At the Gia’s softball game, and Juicy Joe is coaching Gabriella soccer game.

Such a fun day for my girls! Milania is ice skating. http://say.ly/wGV5H3g

Now Gabriella & I are going to the NJ Devils game. She’s a big fan. http://say.ly/uRk5H3R

At the NJ Devils game with Gabriella, my friend Dana & her adorable son Matthew. http://say.ly/brI5H4s

Going to Max Brenner in NYC with Gabriella for dinner. Yum! #GirlsNite http://say.ly/end5H8X

@TRUEdancemomNY yes come over.Xx

However, in another photo of Joey on his birthday, it looks like Adrianna in the background.

On a side note, Melissa, sounding stoned, posted a Keek video three months ago. In it she says:

“We’re (she and Joe) laying on a unicorn pillow (watching TV). This is what we do at (looks at her watch and is amazed at how late it is) at 10 o’clock at night. Look at Joey, he’s still up (she pans over to Joey playing by himself in the corner of the room; Melissa waves to the camera and laughs a deep, throaty laugh).”

The following are Melissa’s tweets to her kids and husband on their last birthdays:

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:

Photos from Gia’s Birthday Party Suggest Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice Had a Heated Discussion

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 January 11, 2013 bash. “Teresa’s pal Kim D. was drunk and was the instigator, stirring the pot — as always — over petty stuff.” (Melissa was one of only two guests who showed up not wearing the party’s theme color of white).  - In Touch, January 17, 2013, Exclusive: The Family Feud Continues: Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice Still at War

On January 13, 2013, Us Weekly, which has been heavily promoting Melissa Gorga, published a story about Gia’s birthday party, with photos suggesting that Teresa and Melissa had a heated discussion during the party. According to Us Weekly:

“Melissa and Teresa were seen chatting with Kim DePaola and Jennifer Dalton with a few finger-pointing gestures. Melissa attended the party with her children Antonia, Gino and Joey, but husband Joe has been recovering from the flu.”

Reality Tea has a story on the party with photos (see next two photos) of Kim D talking to Melissa, which makes you wonder just what she is telling her. Could they be discussing the phone call Teresa took at the holiday Posche Fashion Show on December 3, 2012, the one where Kim D and Penny approached Teresa with information about Melissa’s infidelity, and Teresa agreed to the call with someone who confirmed that Melissa cheated on Joe after they were married.

Perhaps this was Melissa’s first time seeing Teresa since the season 4 reunion special taped on September 7, 2012 (prior to that, Joe and Melissa hadn’t spoken to Teresa for a year — except for Melissa’s brief appearance last January at Gia’s Space Odyssey birthday party). Melissa should have kept her mouth shut and waited until another time, not a child’s birthday party, to air her grievances.

The birthday party had a white theme but notice in the photos below that BOTH Melissa and Jennifer Dalton (who appeared on season 2 episode 5 of Bravo’s “Pregnant in Heels” and now is a “friend of Housewife” Teresa for RHONJ season 5) did not wear white.

Melissa Gorga Brings Antonia to Gia Giudice’s Birthday Party; Melissa Still Wants to be Cast on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ (Updated 1/5/2013)

Melissa Gorga Brings Antonia to Gia Giudice’s Birthday Party

Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga admitted that they had only seen and spoken to each other once (Melissa’s brief appearance at Gia’s and Milania’s joint birthday party held last year on January 28, 2012 at Space Odyssey) since the Posche Fashion Show for the season 4 finale was taped four months earlier on September 27, 2011. The second time they saw and spoke to each other was a year later on September 7, 2012, at the taping of the season 4 reunion special where Melissa told Teresa: “You’re done with me, and you’re done with my kids.”

Photo from Gia’s birthday party at Space Odyssey on January 11, 2013

Melissa brought her daughter Antonia to join the festivities this year at Gia’s birthday party on January 11, 2013 (again held at Space Odyssey). The event was taped for RHONJ season 5 so it should not come as a surprise that Melissa attended Gia’s party but not her goddaughter Gabriella Giudice’s party held on October 4, 2012.

Fame-Whorgas reader Brittany tweeted Melissa, telling her that she didn’t go to Gabriella’s party because there were no cameras there — Melissa tweeted her back saying she wasn’t invited (see tweets below).

When asked by AllAboutTRH on October 10, 2012 if Melissa wished her goddaughter Gabriella a ‘Happy Birthday’, Teresa said:

“No she did not. It was Audriana’s birthday last month and Melissa did call and leave a voicemail wishing her a Happy Birthday, but she did not call Gabriella wishing her a Happy Birthday, which I found odd considering Audriana is really young and won’t understand, but Gabriella knows Melissa is her godmother and is older and does understand. Gabriella actually asked me if her godmother called to wish her a Happy Birthday and I just told Gabriella that Melissa probably did but that I missed the phone call just so Gabriella wouldn’t feel bad, because, like I said, she does understand Melissa is her godmother and she’s at that age where if she knew Melissa didn’t call, it would hurt her, especially since Melissa has called to wish all the others a Happy Birthday.”

Melissa Gorga Attended Gia’s and Milania’s Joint Birthday Party at Space Odyssey Last Year But Then Spread Lies About the Party

Last year, in January 2012, Melissa so desperately wanted to be cast on DWTS that she and Joe attended Makim Chmerkovskiy’s birthday party instead of Gia’s and Milania’s joint birthday party at Space Odyssey. Later in the day, Melissa showed up for a brief appearance at the girls’ party, without Uncle Joe, and then a few days later spewed a bunch of lies to the online tabloids, saying that Teresa was exploiting Gia to put her in the spotlight. Then, almost a year later, during the season 4 reunion in September 2012, Melissa and Jacqueline Laurita conspired to perpetuate a big lie that Teresa physically assaulted Melissa during the party.

Photos from Gia’s birthday party at Space Odyssey on January 28, 2012

RumorFix reported on the accusations made by Melissa during reunion 4 taping that Teresa “roughed her up” at the birthday party last year, in January 2012:

On The Wendy Williams Show, Melissa Gorga said that her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice “roughed her up,” but an eyewitness tells RumorFix exclusively that’s not true!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star claims the incident happened at Gia’s birthday party last year. But Elvira Grau, who is a New Jersey party planner, tells RumorFix correspondent Real Mr. Housewife,

“Teresa never laid a hand on Melissa.”

Elvira, who reportedly turned down a role on RHONJ, adds,

“I promise you that if — in fact — there was an altercation, with so many people present, this would have surfaced sooner than now.”

Elvira explains,

“Teresa was annoyed at Melissa trying to give Teresa’s kids Christmas presents to her during the birthday party, when Melissa really should have given them [to the kids] herself in person at the house and not at Gia’s birthday party at Space Odysssey USA many months later. Teresa asked Melissa politely to please drop off the gifts at the house, so the kids could see their aunt and cousins.

“To Teresa, it’s not physical presents but the thought to the kids. Teresa wanted Melissa’s attention to be to the kids and spending time, not the actual presents. Teresa even said ‘My kids don’t need any more presents, they need their cousins’ which I thought was beautiful,” Elvira told us.

“The truth is that Melissa is trying to paint Teresa as this horrible villain that twists wrists and that’s simply not the truth. Teresa is hurting right now because of all this family drama. It’s killing her parents! She didn’t want to be on the show with her family because she always knew Melissa would stoop this low. It’s so sad. Her nightmares came true. Melissa’s insecurity gets the best of her, unfortunately,” she said defending Teresa.

Grau also added,

“I want America to know that Teresa is the most loving and fun person who loves her husband, kids, parents, and friends. We spent four days over Labor Day weekend together and I wish America saw the true Teresa — in the kitchen with her parents cooking the most delicious Italian food, serving, and cleaning. They are a real old school Italian beautiful family.”

Grau owns Space Odyssey USA in Englewood, NJ, which hosts both children and adult birthday parties, as well as other private events.

RumorFix has reached out to Melissa’s reps for comment.

The Huffington Post reported on Teresa’s response to the “roughing up” accusations from September 2012:

Teresa Giudice is disputing her sister-in-law’s accusation that Giudice attacked her, saying it was the other way around.

“I usually don’t comment on stories about me, but I cannot ignore Melissa Marco’s vicious lie that I assaulted her at my own children’s birthday party while she was holding my baby nephew,” says Giudice. “It is completely untrue in every way. To make such a horrible accusation that involves our children is beyond despicable and speaks to her true character.”

Melissa recently did a round of interviews, including an Us Weekly cover and an appearance on Wendy Williams’ show, where she had some tough criticism for Giudice. However, Giudice and her friends refuse to remain silent over accusations that she “roughed up” anyone.

“This supposedly happened at Gia and Milania’s very big, very public joint birthday party in January,” a friend of Giudice tells me. “The party was at Space Odyssey, owned by Elvira Grau, who was with Teresa the entire time. Elvira has publicly tweeted that it’s untrue. It was a very public party with a hired photographer there. No one saw them do anything but talk. They didn’t even hug because Melissa was holding her baby, so Teresa just kissed the baby. If anything had happened, why didn’t Melissa immediately go to the press about it then? She puts every other little complaint on Twitter. Nothing.”

In what is expected to be the most dramatic “Real Housewives” reunion of all time, viewers will get to see for themselves how bad things have gotten between these two family members.

“Melissa lost it at the reunion and put her hands on Teresa,” one Bravo insider tells me. “Teresa started yelling that she was going to ‘sue’ Melissa, but has not taken any legal action yet.”

Melissa Still Wants to be Cast on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

We all know that Melissa can’t dance, but she desperately has been trying to be cast on DWTS since January 2012, or probably earlier since she took ballroom dancing classes with Antonio before she was officially cast on RHONJ. In Bravo’s lost footage of Melissa and Antonia taking ballroom dancing lessons in season 3, Melissa said:

“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.”

http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/season-3/videos/the-lost-footage-special?id=91985#selected

On January 26, 2012, Melissa’s first suggested via a tweet that she should be cast on DWTS:

Look who I’m with… @maksimc @tonydovolani @DancingABC #dwts http://lockerz.com/s/178098105

Pictured above at ‘Dancing With The Stars Event’ in January 2011: Jacqueline Laurita. Maksim Chmerkoviskiy, Melissa Gorga, Kathy Wakile, Tony Dovolani & Maria Chappa

Almost a full year later, just recently on December 31, 2012, Melissa Gorga made another desperate plea to be cast on DWTS:

Melissa Gorga Loves Her Family, She Just Doesn’t Love Her Husband’s Family; She Did Not Attend Goddaughter Gabrielle Giudice’s Birthday Party

Melissa at the reunion special for season 4 said: “Teresa, look at me. I am done with you, and you’re done with my kids”. You want nothing to do with her, fine. But don’t take away your husband’s kids, who happen to be her nephews and niece, and say that my kids are done with you too. That right there tells me you are nothing but a malicious, vindictive, arrogant, egotistical and envious bitch because she is using her kids as weapons. Then to turn around and tell a magazine that Teresa called Antonia ugly. And when Teresa writes an open letter on her blog (To My Darling, Beautiful Niece) to her new niece and nephews — to turn around and tweet that Teresa wrote a “lying blog” about Antonia. I am not sure how you lie when you are clearly speaking from your heart. When I saw her use her kids as pawns in that vindictive manner, the way she did, I felt for the Joe, I really did. I whole-heartedly felt for the guy. You don’t use your children as pawns. If you use your children in that way, you are a piece of shit. That’s your husband’s family. When Joe said at the reunion, “My children don’t have grandparents because of you,” that is probably something that Melissa has said to Joe. [Real Housewives Blog, Interview with John Karagiorgis, October 18, 2012]

Melissa Didn’t Spend Time With Her 8-Year Old Goddaughter Gabriella Giudice on Her Birthday But She Did With Her 18-Year-Old Goddaughter from Her Side of the Family (Her Real Family)

Melissa is godmother to Gabriella Giudice (Teresa’s second child), but she didn’t call her on her birthday in October and didn’t show up for her party or even drop off her kids, Gabriella’s cousins, for the festivities.

Photos from Gabriella’s 8th Birthday Party:

“Just a great night with the girls. Growing up fast. #birthday pic.twitter.com/uDoEyZ96″ – Teresa Giudice, October 4, 2012, Twitter

“It is Gabriella’s birthday! She is 8 today and will be celebrating tonight after her soccer practice! https://twitter.com/Teresa_Giudice/status/253652146694787073/photo/1″ – Teresa Giudice, October 4, 2012, Twitter

Sheila and Pete Giudice, Gabriella’s godfather, were at the party, along with their children:

When asked by AllAboutTRH on October 10, 2012 if Melissa wished her goddaughter Gabriella a ‘Happy Birthday’, Teresa said:

“No she did not. It was Audriana’s birthday last month and Melissa did call and leave a voicemail wishing her a Happy Birthday, but she did not call Gabriella wishing her a Happy Birthday, which I found odd considering Audriana is really young and won’t understand, but Gabriella knows Melissa is her godmother and is older and does understand. Gabriella actually asked me if her godmother called to wish her a Happy Birthday and I just told Gabriella that Melissa probably did but that I missed the phone call just so Gabriella wouldn’t feel bad, because, like I said, she does understand Melissa is her godmother and she’s at that age where if she knew Melissa didn’t call, it would hurt her, especially since Melissa has called to wish all the others a Happy Birthday.”

However, back in May, Melissa made sure to tweet a happy birthday to her other goddaughter along with a photo of the two of them together at the Jersey shore:

Melissa’s cousin Tara Marco Bogota tweeted this photo from the same day:

And Melissa’s sisters tweeted sentiments to their godchildren too:

Fortunately for Audriana, her godmother is Dina Manzo, who spent Audriana’s birthday with her.

Back in August, Teresa tweeted Melissa to wish Antonia “Happy Birthday”:

“Tell Antonia HAPPY BIRTHDAY from Aunt Teresa& Uncle Joe & from Gia, Gab, Mil, and Aud…We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!”

Melissa, taking her usual passive-aggressive dig at Teresa, responded [she later deleted the tweet]:

“thanks, why don’t you call so she can talk to you, her godfather, and her cousins…”

Melissa’s trouble-making sister Lysa Simpson retweeted this:

Antonia is very blessed to have aunts like @LysaSimpson & @kimpirrella!! How can anyone deny Antonia, Gino, and Joey! It’s Teresa’s loss.
Retweeted by Lysa Simpson

Friend tweeted in Teresa’s defense [which Teresa retweeted], saying she did call Antonia and left a message:

kraci ‏@racigirl
Saw the message that u never called to say happy bday to Antonio. I was sitting right next to u when all the kids n Joe left a message SO SAD
Retweeted by Teresa Giudice

Teresa Giudice Did Not Poison Her Parents’ Minds Against Melissa Gorga; Melissa Only Pretends for the Cameras to be ‘All About Family’ (October 10, 2012)

When asked by AllAboutTRH on October 10, 2012 if Melissa wished her god-daughter Gabriella a ‘Happy Birthday’, Teresa said: “No she did not. It was Audriana’s birthday last month and Melissa did call and leave a voicemail wishing her a Happy Birthday, but she did not call Gabriella wishing her a Happy Birthday, which I found odd considering Audriana is really young and won’t understand, but Gabriella knows Melissa is her godmother and is older and does understand.

“Melissa in her episode 18 Bravo blog tries to insinuate that Teresa is again trying to make her look bad, which is hilarious. She doesn’t need Teresa to do any of it…she is doing fine herself. She should crawl back down that slimey hole she crawled out of two seasons ago, and take her husband and his cousin with her.” – murphy1, September 11, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog

“Melissa proclaims to want a relationship with Teresa and in the same sentence she bashes her. She starts by saying something nice about Teresa, but it’s always followed with a bash session. Really, I wish she would just come out and say ‘I was mad at Teresa because she refused to film with me and my family prior to me signing on!’ and END IT!!!!!!! Her husband is a nightmare of a brother… He never has his sister’s back, good, bad or indifferent. How he sits there and allows people to trash his only sister is beyond me!” – pjbeaudry, September 11, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog

“I’ve been in the car with her when she was on the phone with her mother, poisoning her mother’s mind against her brother and Melissa and Kathy.” – Caroline Manzo, Lying About Teresa Behind Her Back in Her Talking Head Interview, Season 4 Episode 17

September 9th was Giacinto Gorga’s birthay. Melissa and her husband tweeted almost all day about Melissa’s new song, but they didn’t tweet about Teresa and Joe’s ailing father’s birthday. Teresa uploaded a picture of her dad with her husband and four daughters.

Joe’s fractured relationship with his parents is his and his wife’s fault, yet Joe and Melissa refuse to take any responsibility for it. It’s easier to blame Teresa for the family drama… Melissa does it in every one of her Bravo blogs. Here’s an excerpt from her blog for episode 18:

“Knowing what’s to come in the season finale, this episode makes me happy and sad at the same time. When I called a truce with Teresa, I meant it. I truly wanted to put all the past behind us and start with a clean slate. I wanted to forget about all the vindictive things that went on between us and move on for our children and our family. I was putting my two feet forward and giving the relationship my all. I didn’t want to go back to where we were in the past. We made a promise to move forward, and that’s exactly what I did. You will soon see that wasn’t the case for Teresa. The next two episodes are really telling and you will understand why we are all at the place we are today. Stay tuned for a wild ride.” – - Melissa Gorga, August 27, 2012, ‘Time Flies’

In Melissa’s blog for episode 17, she wrote that Teresa is poisoning her in-laws minds against her, but it’s easy to see that she has done that all by herself:

“I will say I got a sick feeling in my stomach when Caroline said she’s been in the car with Teresa and heard Teresa bashing Joe and me to her mother. This is nothing we didn’t know already, but to hear about it is just sad. Joe suffers all the time because of the wall Teresa tries to put up between him and his parents. Nothing hurts him more. When they are upset for no reason at all, my kids don’t get to see their only grandfather. I think I understand why she lied and tried to poison everyone’s minds against us, but why his own parents? It takes a person with a very, very small conscience to do that. – Melissa Gorga, August 27, 2012, ‘Character Assassination’

Joe is just as responsible because not only is he allowing his wife to spread lies about his sister, he is participating in her mission to defame Teresa so she can have her spotlight. He has also mentioned on camera issues with, or about, his parents, disclosing personal information about them to the world… which are probably all lies.

On the WWHL After Show on September 9, 2012, with Teresa Giudice and Perez Hilton, Teresa said the reunion special for season 4, taped on September 7, was emotional, especially since she hadn’t seen her brother in almost a year. She said she couldn’t believe the lies that were coming out of his mouth, and that she couldn’t believe he would bring their father into it. Joey apparently claimed that their father said something, which Teresa found out later from her father was something her never said. AllAboutTRH has an exclusive report on reunion details. Here’s an excerpt about what Joe claimed his father said, which would support Melissa’s lie that Teresa is poisoning her parents against Melissa:

“The reason Joe Gorga hasn’t spoken to Teresa is because of the stripper drama. Joe Gorga revealed at the reunion that Teresa told their father that Melissa was a stripper and that their father went back to Joe Gorga and told him Teresa said that. Teresa denied the fact that she told their father that Melissa was a stripper and even said she wanted to call him in front of everyone to prove she never told him that. She kept telling Joe that she never actually called Melissa a stripper and that she just heard it as a rumor but Joe isn’t buying it. Things got real ugly between them but Teresa got extremely emotional talking to her brother who she had not seen in a year.”

Melissa and Joe are too self-absorbed to throw birthday parties for their children, so it’s not surprising that they failed to acknowledge Joe’s father’s birthday. Melissa and Joe did not throw birthday parties for their children in 2012 (they’ve never thrown a party for their youngest son Joey). Gino’s birthday was September 12th, and here is what Melissa and Joe tweeted about on that day:

“Hanging with the boys @chris_laurita and @GreggyBennett @usweekly” – Joe Gorga, September 12, 2012, Twitter

On Antonia’s birthday in August, Melissa tweeted this:

“What a great day with Antonia! She chose not to have a party this year, she wants us to take her to Great Adventure!! #loveher” – Melissa Gorga, August 12, 2012, Twitter

The Gorgas did not take Antonia to Great Adventure on her birthday, so not only didn’t she have a party, she didn’t go to the amusement park (her parents tweeted photos of themselves partying at their shore house with Melissa’s relatives on Antonia’s birthday)! This is because they never intended to give her a party or a choice on what she would like to do special for her birthday… Melissa had already scheduled an appearance at Great Adventure amusement park for September 14, 2012, and she planned all along to piggyback Antonia’s and Gino’s birthday celebration onto that trip; however, they didn’t end up taking the kids to Six Flags Great Adventure when they went there for Melissa’s ‘performance’ at ‘Gay Night Out’. It’s all about Melissa and Joe Gorga, not their kids. Their kids are used to being ignored.

Back in August, Teresa tweeted a ‘happy birthday’ to Antonia on her birthday, and Melissa tweeted back, basically saying a phone call would be more appreciated; Teresa said that she did call, and others tweeted to say they witnessed her calling and leaving a message, so, once again, Melissa lied to make Teresa look bad.

Audriana’s birthday is September 14th. Neither Joe or Melissa acknowledged her birthday on Twitter. Neither did Jacqueline Laurita tweet a ‘happy birthday’ for Audriana, so Jacqueline is not showing support for Teresa just like she claims Teresa is not showing support for her. Neither did the Wakiles or Rosie Pierri tweet a ‘happy birthday’ to Audriana; however, Rosie did tweet a ‘happy birthday’ to Gino two days earlier:

No Birthday Parties for the Gorga Children; The Cock-and-Bull Story That Teresa Guidice is a Bad Aunt (Updated 9/23/2012)

“I know I’m not going to get my old sister back, but hopefully she can be an aunt to my children and love my kids the way I love her kids, and maybe I can open up her eyes, you know… I’m hoping Teresa opens up to this man [the therapist] and doesn’t blame anyone else for what’s going on in her life… That’s why I’m going to therapy: to make her understand what she does wrong.” – Joe Gorga, Season 4 Episode 10

“I hope she is going to start having a more positive attitude about my marriage, my music, and my kids, and just stop overanalyzing me and everything I do. It must be draining for her to worry about me all day and worry about how we are living our life.” – Melissa Gorga, Bravo Blog for Season 4 Episode 11

UPDATE 9/23/2012: Melissa Tweets Photos to Give the Impression That She Threw Gino a Birthday Party on September 22, 10 Days After His Birthday

Melissa tweeted photos to give the impression that they celebrated Gino’s birthday party at Medieval Times on September 22, 2012, 10 days after his birthday, which was September 12th. Notice in the photo above that Joe is holding Joey and a pint of beer, and that the people at the table next to them also are wearing the same hats. So it looks like the event was not a birthday party but just a normal day at Medieval Times. There isn’t a birthday cake or gifts in the photos that Melissa tweeted (above).

This article about them not throwing parties for their kids was last updated on September 18, 2012, with a picture tweeted by Lysa Simpson, Melissa’s sister, showing that Gino was with her on his birthday (photo below).

Melissa and Joe were at Six Flags on September 14, 2012, but didn’t bring their kids (they must have been on the road on the 12th and Lysa must have had their kids with her). Melissa tweeted on August 8, 2012, Antonia’s birthday, that Antonia ‘chose’ not to have a party this year, and wanted to go to Six Flags instead; however, they never took her there… they planned to piggyback their kids’ birthday celebrations onto their previously scheduled trip to Six Flags for Melissa’s performance at ‘Gay Night Out’ on September 14th, but instead left their kids with the aunt.

Joe and Melissa were called out by Fame-Whorgas (this article was originally published on May 6, 2012, and then updated and republished on August 13) and Reality Tea (in August) for not throwing parties for their children. Hopefully, it isn’t negative attention from bloggers that motivates them to throw parties for their children. Joe and Melissa should focus their attention more on their children and less on themselves.

UPDATE 9/18/2012: Joe and Melissa Gorga Did Not Take Antonia to Six Flags for Her Birthday as Promised

Melissa promised to take Antonia to Great Adventure in lieu of a party for her birthday (August 12), which wouldn’t have required much effort since she was going there anyway on September 14 to ‘perform for ‘Gay Night Out’ at Six Flags Great Adventure’. From her tweets it seems like they didn’t bring the kids; therefore, Antonia and Gino, whose birthday was on September 12, didn’t have birthday parties and didn’t go to Six Flags either, or so it seems. The only tweet about Gino’s birthday was from Lysa Simpson (who Gino was with on his birthday, not his parents) and it was not a party photo and it was not from Six Flags (see photo above: it was tweeted on September 12th, two days before Melissa’s performance).

The Gorgas did not take Antonia to Great Adventure on her birthday, so not only didn’t she have a party, she didn’t go to the amusement park (her parents tweeted photos of themselves partying at their shore house with Melissa’s relatives on Antonia’s birthday)! This is because they never intended to give her a party or a choice on what she would like to do special for her birthday… Melissa had already scheduled an appearance at Great Adventure amusement park for September 14, 2012, and she planned all along to piggyback Antonia’s and Gino’s birthday celebration onto that trip, but it seems she changed her mind. Melissa ‘performed’ at Gay Night Out at Six Flags Great Adventure (photo below) … she tweeted photos from that event but no photos of her children at the park with her. It’s all about Melissa and Joe Gorga, not their kids. Their kids are used to being ignored.

The photo below was taken on August 12, 2012, Antonia’s 7th birthday. The photo is hilarious but also sad because it must be the best photo they have to share with their ‘fans’. It seems like, at the last minute, in an attempt to prove to the viewers that they celebrated Antonia’s birthday (even though they didn’t throw her a party), they stuck a baby’s party hat on her head (it looks like the one she wore in photos from her 1st birthday) and made her pose with them so they could tweet a photo: Melissa is literally holding the hat atop Antonia’s head (it is barely touching the top of her head and the chin strap appears to be hanging out from under it), and Joe is holding back Antonia so she can’t break away from them. Antonia’s expression says it all. The Gorgas must have been too drunk to realize how bad this photo looks!

Joey Gorga Jr. Has Never Had a Birthday Party

Most parents throw a party to celebrate the first year with their child, but not Joe and Melissa Gorga. When Joe Gorga, Jr. turned one-year old on April 27, 2011, his parents didn’t throw him a birthday party; and when he turned two-years old on April 27, 2012, his parents again didn’t throw him a birthday party. For Joey’s second birthday on April 27, 2012, the Gorgas took him out to dinner. The only photos Melissa or Joe tweeted or Facebooked were Joey coloring in a dining room at a formal restaurant with linen table clothes and Joey blowing out one candle in a slice of cake from the dessert menu (see below). Melissa threw herself a 33rd birthday party on March 22, 2012 — all the NJ Housewives were there except for Teresa (see below).
