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.

Pete Giudice Takes On Melissa Gorga and Her Posse; Bravo Demonizes Joe Giudice to the LGBT Community; Manzo Kids Attack Uncle Jamie Laurita on Twitter (Updated 1/9/2013)

“A gay revenge point goes to MissAndy for his direct hit at Juicy in the staged bus scene in season 4 episode 6.” [StoopidHousewives, June 6, 2012, Andy Cohen’s In-Your-Face Gay Agenda]

“Let’s talk about Joe Giudice and the remark he made to Greg on the bus. I’m probably going to get crucified for this, but I don’t think he meant it with malice. Now understand that I think the remark was awful and in the poorest of taste, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he’s like a kid, he just blurts things out regardless of how it hurts. Yes, he is a 40-year-old man, and yes he should know better, but when he said that he immediately took it back and apologized. Over the past few seasons he has made numerous gay slurs, and there’s no denying that there’s an issue there, but in this instance I think he was making a poor attempt to be funny. Call me crazy, but that’s the way I feel.” [Caroline Manzo, June 4, 2012, No Hate]

“Shame on Joe Giudice for the inappropriate and offensive comments referencing gays. Shame on them both. Joe for the comments in poor taste, Teresa for laughing. Enough said.” [Jacqueline Laurita, June 4, 2012, Love is Love]

“Jac, just wanted to point out that your husband was also laughing at the joke Joe made. Go ahead and say he was laughing because he felt awkward or whatever, but maybe Teresa was doing the same. If Rich Wakile had made that joke, everyone would be laughing their heads off, and you know it. I don’t know if you watched Celebrity Apprentice, but in the finale Lisa Lampanelli made a joke about Clay Aiken, something like ‘the only thing achin’ is his __________’, and that was on NBC prime time in front of Clay and Donald Trump! Maybe you should all stop being so uptight.” [Kitten mittons, June 3, 2012, Jacqueline's Bravo Blog]

“I may be crazy for thinking this, but I ALMOST thought that Joe was actually trying to just make a joke that would kind of…I don’t know how to explain this…kind of show that he DOES like Greg and he’s trying to bond with him by busting his chops? Like when my LGBT friends will make a straight joke, and I tease them back, and it’s okay because we’re teasing each other? Does that make sense? Clearly he figured out that he stepped over the line, and I think that hug and kiss was genuine. I thought the ‘the most gay thing I ever did’ thing was similar. He knows he’s old-school and bigoted, but maybe he’s trying not to be? It reminds me of the time on ‘Roseanne’ when Leon came out to Dan and all his good-ol’-boy poker buddies, and one of them said, ‘Um, well, you know, I have a gay friend. In Chicago. Maybe you know him? His name’s Bill,’ and Leon kind of smirked and rolled his eyes and said, ‘Oh, of COURSE! Gay Bill From Chicago!’ It’s kind of the thing that people who are learning not to be prejudiced will say on the road to becoming more enlightened. They MEAN well; they just can’t quite stop saying the weird things yet because they’re nervous.” [akm061184, June 4 2012, Looks like I'm alone here..but I felt no sympathy for Greg, IMDb.com]

“I do think Joe was making an attempt at actually being friendly…it was just a little too raunchy to be *that* funny. When you are friendly with someone, you can make busting-type jokes about personal subjects or things that may otherwise be unsaid…I can see Joe thinking he could do that with Greg but, of course Greg only thinks things are funny when he’s not on the receiving end (er, no pun intended…;) Joe made a joke at him to his face and not behind his back, like Greg always does.” [ivygirl22, June 4 2012, Looks like I'm alone here..but I felt no sympathy for Greg, IMDb.com]

“I don’t think Joe comes off as a mean-spirited person even though he has his testy moments like most men. I don’t think he meant harm by his recent remark. And if he did, Greg sort of deserved it, anyway, after all the pot-shots he took at the Giudices last season. God knows this society does need some manners, but I think that being politically correct has gotten so strict that we’re all practically in a state of paralysis at this point. It’s a bit overdone. Respect and consideration for each other, definitely yes, but complete paralysis, not a good idea.” [Linda Howard, June 5, 2012, Teresa's Bravo Blog]

Melissa Gorga’s makeup artist, George Miguel Costa, is spewing hate without fear toward Joe Giudice (see their tweets below) since he’s under the impression that because he’s gay, he can say whatever he wants with Bravo’s backing. Andy Cohen has been giving Joe Giudice a bad edit because of (1) making the gaylord comment in season 2 (2) calling Joe Gorga ‘faggot’ in season 3, and (3) listing Joe Gorga in his phone as ‘faggot’ in season 3.

Andy hates that Joe Giudice called Joe Gorga ‘faggot’, but when Richie Wakile, Joe Gorga, and anyone who is gay uses the same gay slur, they get a free pass.

“Here’s my theory on why only ONE family’s dirty laundry is aired on the show. It all started with Juicy’s slur against gay people in season 1. Teresa apologized and seemed contrite but Joe’s apology (if there was one) was never made public. So now Andy, a prominent figure in the gay community, is under pressure, like ‘How are you working with this bigot?’ Now Andy’s skewering that ass. Because now we only are we seeing all of Joe’s bad moments, and all of his endearing moments (yes, there were some on season 1) have disappeared. Every time we see him, he’s being an asshole. Not that I feel bad for him, but I do think there’s some fancy editing at play here.” [leelee84, 05-08-2012, LipstickAlley.com]

In the video below (from Splash, a gay night club in New York, where Melissa performed on November 4, 2011), Greg Bennett helps introduce pre-op transsexual showgirl and escort Erica Gabriel, who joins Joe Gorga on stage, while the DJ is telling Joe Gorga that he “can say the F-word here.”

In the video, the DJ says that Splash is “a safe house for faggots and freaks” and Greg agrees, echoing that it is a safe place [to use the F-word].

So Joe Gorge can use the F-word with gay men but Joe Giudice can’t use it as slang toward straight men. It’s a one-way street, which means George Miguel Costa and QueenzOfMedia can spew one-way hate while claiming Joe and his brother Pete are the bigots. As JohnnyTheGrk (John Karagiorgis) said to georgemiguelc and QueenzOfMedia on Twitter:

“You create your own hate and then point the finger.”

If QueenzOfMedia can use the C-word with impunity, then they shouldn’t cry bigot when others use the F-word.

Andy Cohen declared Joe Giudice public enemy number one to the LGBT community when Bravo chose to air Giudice calling Gorga ‘faggot’ and when Andy made that scene a focus of discussion during reunion 3. Now it’s open season on Joe Giudice, even though he has not been proven to be homophobic despite what Andy tell us. Giudice has not said anything derogatory or done anything to any homosexual person to warrant this unfair treatment by Bravo and the LGBT community.

“Andy and Bravo production have decided to single out Juicy’s language regarding homosexuals as a jump off for an anti hate theme when he knows it’s guido language rather than homophobia or hate intended. I have said this so many times already, but I think it is truly perverse to make Juicy’s comments a shining example of why gays are discriminated against and fear will be spread throughout our culture. Juicy didn’t invent the word ‘faggot’ or ‘butt buddy’, and absolutely should not say this. But to air the footage that shows him saying this is even worse — this should have been cut out — not to protect Juicy, but to make sure the audience isn’t hearing words that perpetuate violence against gays. Gay men use this phrase among themselves frequently, but gay violence is real and airing this and making a villain out of Juicy, was a lot more Andy’s feelings about Juicy than concern for his community. Juicy isn’t suppose to say those words, so let’s air him saying it, OVER and OVER.” [pinkie, April 25, 2012, AllAboutTRH.com]

It has been leaked that ”bullying and coming out will be a major storyline” in season 4. We can only hope that Bravo does not try to manipulate the viewers and create a mob mentality against Joe Giudice. Bravo has done enough to his public image thus far by making sure his DUI, arrest for obtaining a driver’s license using his brother’s ID, and financial problems became story lines during season 3, using Caroline and Jacqueline to discuss his issues on camera.

“Bravo really needs to watch how they edit Juicy because there has already been one suicide. Juicy doesn’t sit for THI and he doesn’t want their personal family issues addressed on TV. He is a man who is beyond stressed, has a crude sense of humor, and is over Bravo. Andy has an agenda, and it’s to put Juicy in the worst light possible and make him pay for making slurs. If Andy Cohen was a respectable human being and wanted to end the hate, then he would make sure these comments were edited out of the show. He’s stirring the pot and making it so the LGBT community is now in full attack against Juicy, posting and making HATEFUL comments about him. Which, um duh, it’s the same thing. It’s hypocritical. Bravo should have learned from Russell’s death, but they learned NOTHING.” [Hanna, June 14, 2012, LynnNChicago]

Bravo and Andy Cohen instigated the backlash Joe Giudice is getting from the LGBT community. Andy Cohen held up Joe Giudice for public scorn even though he attacked no one in the LGBT community — if anyone should be held up for public scorn, it should be the QueenzOfMedia for their hateful and disgusting public comments directed at Joe Giudice. Andy Cohen owes Joe Giudice a public apology, and he should make a public statement against the attacks on Giudice by the QueenzOfMedia. Joe Giudice did not commit a hate crime against the LGBT community, and he is NOT a “well known and documented homophobic” or “homophobic criminal” as QueenzOfMedia declared on Twitter.

“Rosie is being used by the Wakiles [and Gorgas] more than Bravo. Bravo USES and exploits everyone… they are equal opportunity uses lol. In order to stay in ‘tight’ with Andy, you have to hit gay rights with full force. Hence, why the Manzos have Greg and the Wakiles have Rosie. It is disgusting how these two are used. While Greg loves it and loves the attention, I think Rosie will be hurt down the line. I really love Rosie, and hope for her sake she doesn’t realize what the Wakiles and Bravo are doing to her.” [Mel, June 25, 2012, LynnNChicago]

With “bullying and coming out being a major storyline” in season 4, don’t be surprised if Bravo continues to demonize Joe Giudice in season 4. It seems like Andy Cohen is out to get him. Bravo should be careful how they edit Joe Giudice after what happened to Russell Armstrong (may he rest in peace).

The Manzos, Joe Gorga, and Chris Laurita can’t help but laugh at Joe Giudice’s expense.

pinkie on April 7, 2012 at 10:51 am said at AllAboutTRH.com:

The portrayal of gay men on Bravo is not a respectful representation. And I also believe that allowing the “f” word to stay in the finished footage, such as what Joe Guidice said, was not respectful. It could have easily be cut. If you want to eliminate hate speech, why would ANDY keep that in? It did not add anything positive to the show and was left in to instigate sh*t. Instead, to smear Joe Guidice even more, ANDY allowed hate speech on the RHONJ. Perverse.

Melissa and Joe lie most of time to capture the gay and lesbian audience, as you will see in season 4. I find this very offensive and hurtful. In season 4, bullying and coming out will be a major storyline! Once again our housewives with try to BS the viewers, as many of them are the true villains. They never promote without Bravo’s approval, as Bravo has a money investment in all things the Jersey housewives do. Teresa is the real honest housewife, trust me on that issue!

Hailey on January 20, 2012 at 2:32 pm said at AllAboutTRH.com:

Well Melissa and her husband’s cousin both BS with the LGBT family. Greg Bennett is the only true gay person on that show. The other cousin Rosie is one of the biggest gay/lesbians bullies on that show.

You will see many lies in season 4. Don’t be fooled by the BS coming our way to draw in the LGBT community. That’s what Bravo is trying to do with the season 4 storyline.

I’m sick about all the lies and hatred toward Teresa and her family. Kathy plays nice and sweet while her and that entire family rips the Marcos, Gorgas and the Manzos; but, of course, they all don’t know it…Sad isn’t it…Bravo, why do you allow such behavior.

GAY SLURS, which ANDY COHEN HATES, is being used by the Walkies and their friends.

MEGO also always tries to use the “I have GAY & LESBIAN FRIENDS!” But yet you play it with Greg, and we all know it’s to draw in the LGBT Family! BS TO THAT MEHO…WE ARE ON TO YOU & Kathy & her family…FAKES, FAKES.

It’s good to see other people are on to to Cohen too. If a man were interested in me and told me he spent his days manipulating reality stars and making them come on interviews with him every night, I’d tell him to call me when he becomes a real man with a real job that actually contributes to society…  I’ve been suspicious of Cohen from the start. If you even make a slightly negative comment about gays, he’s all over you.

Ugh….Over it. on March 26, 2012 at 8:35 am said on AllAboutTRH.com:

Melissa’s make up artist [George Miguel Costa] did another unprovoked [Twitter] attack against Joe Guidice and that is why Pete went off on him. It was a disgusting comment and I will not repeat it, but it goes to show you what kind of crew Melissa hangs with. From her skanky sisters and family members insulting Teresa and now to her employee. The make up artist has said some pretty nasty things about both Teresa and Joe, and Melissa says and does nothing… encouraging it! If I had someone that worked for me continue to bad mouth a family member, I would acknowledge and put a stop to it, but it is clear Melissa cosigns on what he is saying and has let it ride out. This will bite her in the azz big time. Melissa and her PR people are too stupid to realize that though. I hope he continues, because it only makes her look bad, and it confirms what people already think of her.

For the most part, Teresa and Joe have remained quiet while Melissa and her busted posse have publicly attacked them. But it looks like Joe Giudice’s brother Pete Giudice finally has had enough. He opened a Twitter account on January 23, 2012, and he didn’t hold back.

Here are the tweet by Melissa’s makeup artist George Miguel Costa that started it all plus some others to show his connection to the other housewives and their siblings:

The Marco Sisters Tweet or Retweet Negative Things About Teresa Giudice (Updated 9/10/2012)

Lysa Simpson, Melissa Gorga’s sister, was playing the fence. On July 23, 2009 she posted on Teresa’s Facebook page this comment:

“Lysa Marco-Simpson spent the weekend with Teresa and the kids at her shore house! was so much fun with all the starstruck people asking for pictures at the beach. then we went to her house for spaghetti!” – Lysa Marco-Simpson, July 23, 2009 at 6:22 am, Facebook

Remember, Teresa said at little Joey’s christening that Lysa had confided in her complaints about Melissa, and then Lysa shouted at her: “There’s only one side; don’t get it twisted!” No wonder Teresa screamed to Jacqueline during their fight about how she can’t do anything right: “Hold the baby, don’t hold the baby!!!” What she meant was that first they complained that she didn’t come to the hospital to see the baby, then they complained at the christening that she was holding him and dancing with him. And first Lysa is her buddy-buddy, going to her shore house and facebooking it, and then Lysa hates her guts. The Marco sisters played Teresa big time.

The Marco sisters, acting on behalf of Melissa Marco Gorga, have spent the past year doing everything they can to slam Teresa Giudice. Many people saw them as harmless, at first, but following them made some see the light. The sisters, Kim Piriella and especially Lysa Simpson, the older one, frequently seen on the show, have been a poisonous presence on Twitter, interacting with the Manzos of course. People are catching on to Melissa’s game. [Absurd to Sublime, May 1, 2012]

None of this is a surprise to those of us that have known these people for years before Bravo ever had a show. Melissa’s sisters are called the witch’s of the North & East for a reason. We don’t bother with the ‘witch’ title for Melissa. She’s just called a bitch. Finally Caroline’s true colors are starting to be revealed & Jacqueline’s as well. And don’t think Kathy is any better. She follows Melissa, watches the behavior, engages in the behavior only behind the person’s back, and then tries to make herself look innocent. And her husband? God what scum he is. When Teresa was cast on the show, you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing Melissa, her sisters and their husbands, and Kathy and her husband, call Teresa and her family names. It wasn’t just jealousy, it was hate. If Teresa is smart, she will stay far away from these people, family or not. I knew one day the truth about them would come out, and it’s about time. [Megan, November 30, 2011, AllAboutTRH.com]

The gang of bullies (castmates, their husbands, adult children, roommates of adult children, and sisters and makeup artists of castmates) have been tweeting, blogging, using media appearances, and feeding gossip to tabloids and bloggers to take down Teresa. They have been relentless with the constant stream of criticism directed at Teresa, her husband and her children.

“@melissagorga you have been far to kind to Tre, she needs to give love and respect to receive it, her blog says it all #sosad” – Retweeted by Melissa Gorga, August 28, 2012

“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, August 13, 2012, Twitter

“That’s the disgusting shit that makes me crazy! Why would anyone try to poison their mother against their own brother.” – Kim Pirrella, August 27, 2012, Twitter for iPad [in response to Melissa scathing blog accusing Teresa of turning the senior Gorgas against her because Caroline says that's what she did]

“@melissagorga such a lovely blog. You truly care deeply for your husband and family and want the best for everyone! – - Retweeted by Melissa Gorga, August 27, 2012 [about the same blog where she rips Teresa apart]

“lol *sips her tea “@QueenzOfMedia: @kimpirrella i so fucking love you btw! lol” – Kim Pirrella, August 27, 2012, Twitter for iPad [in response to the lies and innuendo they print about Teresa Giudice with help from the Marco sisters]

“that’s what I heard too “@QueenzOfMedia: BLOOP! Joe just admitted to getting paid for magazines… #RHONJ…need i say more?” – Kim Pirrella, August 27, 2012, Twitter for iPad [in response to Joe Giudice telling Chris Laurita that they get paid by In Touch]

Autumnleaves6 cleared up with Andy Cohen the lie that Queenzofmedia spread on Twitter that Andy called Teresa’s fans scabby rabbies. Queenzofmedia do not have an inside source at Bravo. Their source is Melissa (and her sisters).

Skylar& Grace Alexis, Twitter handle QueenzOfMedia, have ties to the Marcos, and they seem to hate the Giudices, and they have a bone to pick with Penny and Johnny Karagiorgis. So QueenzOfMedia would say anything to bring down the Giudices as well as Penny and Johnny. Queenzofmedia are misinformation specialists. In other words, it’s all lies and innuendo, so you can’t believe anything they print. The Marco sisters are tight with them, and they suck up to Melissa (their faux celebrity), WHICH IS WHY TERESA SHOULD NEVER TRUST MELISSA, EVER! MELISSA AND HER SISTERS ARE USING QUEENZOFMEDIA TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK SINCE THEY WERE CALLED OUT FOR THEIR NASTY TWEETS AND PLANTING STORIES ABOUT TERESA IN THE BLOGS AND TABLOIDS.

“Guess what? Melissa Gorga is going to be on The Queenz of Media Thursday!” – QueenzofMedia, Retweeted by Melissa Gorga, September 8, 2012

“It’s obvious that Melissa isn’t interested in being a family. Perfect example is when she tweeted ‘when I say something I mean it! I am putting my all into the relationship with Teresa!’ What a piece of sh*t she is! If she was really serious about putting her all into the relationship with Teresa, she would not associate with a nasty blogger like QOM, nor would she allow her hairdresser and her skanky sisters, the Manzos, Lauritas, Wakiles, etc. to bash Teresa.” – TV Junkie, September 10, 2012, StoopidHousewives

“MeGo keeps saying she wants to mend things with Teresa. I want her to explain why in thee hell she is doing an interview today with the nasty lying queenzofmedia’s radio blog? That is about as low as low can be. Really. queenz hates Teresa and is always bashing her.” – TV Junkie, September 13, 2012, StoopidHousewives

The cast gets their copies of the episodes at least five days before they air, and the episode with Joe using vulgarities against his wife was previewed by Bravo for two weeks before it aired (not the standard), so I think the cast got the tape more than two weeks before it aired, and Melissa gave the scoop to QoM, and QoM made up another lie to dupe people into believing they have an insider at Bravo (so then people will believe all their BS because they were right about the c-word scene).

Some are speculating that the vineyard scene was supposed to air in episode 15 so they would have gotten the tape the Wednesday before episode 15 premiered… the vineyard scene with Joe on the phone was cut from episode 15 and added to episode 16 because Teresa’s lawyers were trying to block Bravo from airing it (she did blog that she begged Bravo not to air it). This would explain why it was previewed at the end of episode 14 as being on “the next episode of RHONJ”, but actually didn’t air until episode 16.

People magazine had the full clip (even Bravo’s website didn’t preview the whole scene) at least a week before it aired, which didn’t make sense at the time, but now it does — the cast already had their copies of episode 15 with the scene still in it (before the scene was cut and added to episode 16). So someone from the cast leaked the uncut tape (the full scene with Joe calling Teresa the c word) to QoM and to People.

So QoM didn’t have an inside scoop after all… the cast had already seen the scene on their uncut copies of episode 15 more than two weeks before it actually aired during episode 16… and Melissa gave it to QoM so they could scoop it and pretend they had a contact inside Bravo … that way everyone would start to pay attention to QofM and believe their BS because they must really have a Bravo insider as their source.

Melissa (and her sisters) continue to tweet or RT negative things, and Melissa mentions Teresa in every interview.

On a more pathetic note, Joe Gorga tweeted himself the night of June 9, 2012: he forgot that he was on his own account (instead of one of his other accounts he made to make himself look like an adoring fan):

Melissa, Joey AND Kathy have been saying, tweeting, blogging, etc… about Teresa. For those saying that it’s sad the parents are taking side, you don’t think it hurts them to see their child and his wife publicly bashing/embarrassing their own flesh and blood on national TV? The parents siding with Teresa is enough evidence to prove what kind of person Melissa and Joey really are.

“I heard what Kim had to say on the show. She is Joey ‘real sister’. I have zero respect for Kim and Lysa due to their actions this past season and all of their tweets. All of the Marco sisters are a major part of the problem what destroyed a family and hurt Joe’s parents. Instead of Kim and Lysa getting a drunk Joe calmed down at the christening, they fueled the fire with their yelling and comments. The senior Gorga was hit and had heath problems so bad that the EMT had to be called. These are not people that I want to promote and waste my time listening to.” – old NJ girl

“You, your sisters, your husband, Rich, your buddy Gregg are the biggest cyerbullies. You started your bullying and comments before RHONJ was even airing. You kept it up until season 3 when you joined the show. Then you and your gang of relatives and friends retweeted every single nasty comment about Teresa that came you way. You continue to give interviews to every news agency, media source and blogger that are nothing but bashing of Teresa either outright or with your hidden digs. Why do you think it is acceptable for you to do it if it involves Teresa but not okay if someone does it to you. You need to learn to treat people the way you want to be treated. Treat everyone else with TRUE caring and honesty not the fake variety that you excel in. People are seeing the light.” – old NJ girl
