Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas Should Ignore the Gorgas and Not Speak to Them, On or Off Camera
“Margaret is not scared. She, and Bravo for that matter, are realizing they F’d up with taking verbatim everything Louie’s stalker ex dished out to them on a platter and are back peddling. They salivated at the fact they were going to dish out another blow to Teresa, and Louie was & is still the collateral damage for that. Apparently that’s entertainment to them. If only they’d done their research like bravo bravo ducking bravo did to show that his ex’s character & mental stability is far more questionable than the man she’s doing character assassination on. Ironic that they had no issue dissecting his past, so the Teresa “can get ahead of it” yet the mention of a PI who may/may not be looking into their past has them on the defense, even Andy it seems. Worried much?! Classic case of deflection at its finest. Has Louie said some questionable comments – yes. But nothing that justifies the public witch hunt that Bravo has enabled against him.” – cc_dt24 on instagram
“I thought Teresa was being somewhat unhinged at first when I watched this season but by the reunion I was thinking, “something is legitimately going on behind the scenes.” Every time Teresa has seemed extreme or unhinged, it comes out later that there’s MeLIEssa or Baby Joe or MargRAT (with others) doing something behind the fourth wall to stir Teresa up. Teresa’s greatest quality and biggest weakness is her authenticity, which they use against her. She literally is unable to fake it.” – brittnay.kay on instagram
“Melissa will never stop being jealous of Teresa. I think she became even more jealous when she and Joe divorced. Teresa was sad but she ultimately recreated ( redone😂) her life with a new man and family. Melissa loved it when she thought Teresa’s life and marriage was over. She didn’t care how much it hurt the girls. Unfortunately for them their little plan of turning Joe and Teresa in backfired on them. In the end it is so sad that the girls have to be separated from their Daddy. It’s heartbreaking 💔. I wonder if Josephine and Messy would ever forgive Joe and Teresa if they had ever turned them into the feds and made them lose their kids?? He’ll fffing NO!!! Teresa took the high road and raised her kids alone as well as had her Mommy and Daddy living with her when Joey lost their house!! They thought she would collapse and crumble but she didn’t. Now she is in love again and her daughter’s all love him and they fffing hate it!! They thought when Joe was deported they would come in and take over the show. This is why they are so mad at Teresa. She picked up the pieces and did it on her own. Something they never ever expected. Those 2 clowns have tried every move in the book to take Teresa out! Including destroying lifelong friendships to spreading lies and BS to the tabloids. Unfortunately for them it didn’t work. She found love again and they hated it because she had someone backing her again, I just don’t understand how others don’t see this. I know this is long but I have went back and watched it all again and all I can say is that the Gorgas wormed their way onto the show and then into every friendship Teresa ever had and Melissa played the sweet innocent card as well as the hated sister in law card and worked a massive wedge into every single friendship Teresa had spent years building.. Unfortunate they thought Melissa was this little victim when she was actually the one starting it all. I know it’s hard to see when you are in it, but ask yourself. If you all love Teresa’s parents and believe they are great people then why did they both not like Melissa??” – austcodcam on instagram
The People article said verbal offers for RHONJ season 14 were made, not actual contracts.
Yeah…I’m not so sure everyone is returning. It says offers went out this week. No contracts have been given or signed yet. Bravo gave no comment. I think this is being put out to see reactions.
Real Housewives fans know they ALL get ‘pickup letters’ in order to negotiate contracts for the new season. That’s them getting a full-time slot. Nothing is set, yet.
They don’t have contracts. Teresa’s salary probably is the lynch pin in who gets what and what role.
If they are all going to come back, the question is, “In what capacity?”
I do think there is a high probability that one or two of them get demoted or lowballed so they walk.
Everyone except Teresa (and maybe Jenn Adyin) is going to be fighting for full-time slots. I don’t think Jackie will be used at all unless she flips to neutral. Rachel better switch up really quick. I can see Jennifer Fessler getting Marge or Melissa’s full-time slot. I always felt Dolores would hang on to a full-time slot because she’s the connect back to The Manzos.
If Teresa gets a lot of money, I can see them demoting Melissa to Marge’s friend. I never saw Marge being cut until the social media stuff.
I thought Margaret was here for a few more years until the Rinna-like unraveling with the exact same account that got Rinna in trouble, and the Manila envelope Bravo never showed (just like Rinna). She makes the audience too aware of the mechanics.
I always figured either next season was (1) The Gorgas bust out because of the backlash or (2) Marge’s or (3) both; and one of them would be FOH of the other so they can keep Teresa happy and minimize Melissa or Marge filming with her.
If Bravo can swing it by convincing Teresa to engage, The Gorgas come back in some capacity, but I think they get demoted. This way, if they don’t bring it, they’ll just go away. You get paid per episode you appear in as a FOH.
Teresa’s recently launched YouTube cooking show is basically a sizzle reel for a family reality show. She’s not scared anymore. Louie and her are making the decisions together, and don’t be surprised if you hear about Juicy Joe having input too. She should go hard with contract negotiations.
That YouTube cooking show is a part of the strategy, if anyone is paying attention. It’s not just about Teresa cooking. The whole family is involved. Watch what happens.
Teresa’s cooking show also is showing you a version of Teresa that you don’t see on RHONJ, with special appearances by the family, which Bravo can’t stop because they don’t have her contracted for a cooking show. They’re playing chess over there at the Giudice/Ruelas home.
They’re probably going to throw big money and probably a spin-off with guaranteed seasons for Teresa to stay. That’s money for her and the girls.
The more Teresa gets, the less the rest of them get.
Louie got her a mansion on six acres. Louie has bread: break Bravo’s pockets.
She can afford to walk but she SHOULD NOT walk unless they try to lowball her contract and she has a one-season and she’s out clause. Otherwise, take the money and give Bravo nothing they want with The Gorgas.
Why should she walk away from millions of dollars to stay? She can film with her girls, Jenn Aydin, Danielle, and Dolores, while ignoring Melissa and Marge. Wouldn’t that be getting everything? Stick with Jennifer, Danielle, and everyone else who wants to play fair.
It was noticeable that they minimized Teresa in episodes this season (a likely test) and people only started watching at The Finale, Wedding Special and The Reunion.
They’re done they’re done they’re done wrote on twitter (@NeneEgo):
“I already know what’s gonna happen. Production is gonna make Melissa and Joe try to make amends with Teresa, then this will make viewers feel bad for them, and they’ll shit on Teresa for not wanting anything to do with them. I basically already have the synopsis for S14…”
Or, Melissa and Joe will spend the entire season trying to act like they are making amends, but the fans on social media will not buy it because they saw it too many times.
Teresa will keep her word and ignore them, and they’ll have nothing and get chopped. Let it play out.
They don’t need to be talking to each other for another 18 minutes. It’s okay not to interact with people who hurt you even if they’re family. Everyone needs to normalize protecting their peace. Teresa has given them too many chances. She’s enabling her bad treatment.
Joey’s not taking any responsibility because Teresa enabled him for years and so did everyone else for their own greed and quest for fame, trying to “both sides” the situation when it’s not the case. The Gorgas came on to mess with Teresa, and their lies haven’t stopped.
All Joey’s spoiled behind had to do was show up to that wedding. If Melissa didn’t want to come and act civilized, leave her home. Teresa would have forgiven and forgotten, and he could have slid by like he always did. He knows Teresa’s done.
Joey knows the Bravo money is walking out the door as Teresa refuses to protect or enable him anymore for RHONJ. There’s no both sides to this situation. It’s gone on long enough, and it’s time for them to go. Whether it’s this season or next, they’re going.
The truth is that Joey is a scumbag and has been for years and Teresa enabled him, not realizing that he and his trash wife have no floor, not even the parents or the kids.
At the reunion, Louie said to Melissa that they should stay out of it, but Melissa kept on. Long-time RHONJ viewers can confirm it’s Melissa who stirs the mess up every time they reconcile. Joey knows what he is doing is wrong but banks on the fact Teresa always gives him a pass.
They need to tell the producers that storylines for the entire season cannot simply be “fighting with Teresa.” Because, according to Siggy Flicker, it’s the producers that put them up to the fights with Teresa. Better yet, they need to fire the producers and get new ones.
It’s really Bravo that’s vilifying Louie, and that’s because he has Teresa’s ear. He basically told Teresa and them at last season’s finale that she didn’t have to take the abuse any longer.
The point is to smear Louie because he has Teresa’s ear. He’s telling her the truth and they don’t like it because it jeopardizes their slots on RHONJ. It’s production and stale cast trying to save their jobs.
Teresa’s enabling people to get checks on the show is coming to an end because Louie and her daughters are shutting it down.

Joey, Frank, Melissa, and Marge. These idiots went and found a bona fide documented stalker with restraining orders as their receipts on Louie. Morons.
Louie wouldn’t have needed security if Marge, Melissa, Frank and Joey didn’t decide to befriend a total nut with restraining orders against her, who has also taken to online stalking Louie and Teresa’s kids and their friends.
This is another swing at Teresa from Andy and the producers. They won’t stop until they make a fool of her and Louie. Teresa shouldn’t film. She should call their bluff. They have zero respect for her, they’re laughing at her, to her face.
If she feels like she needs to, Teresa should talk about The Gorgas, but don’t interact. Don’t go to their events, don’t meet up for a sitdown, don’t invite them to her house, none of that.
“Siggy Flicker blasts phony Margaret Josephs and producers she befriended” – @AllAboutTRH
The production team told newbies to fight with Teresa even if they had no issue with her; they protected Margaret because she did things for producers.
The production company, Sirens Media, gotta go. This entire mess falls at their feet. Bravo needs to do something, now.
Marge is trash and an easy target. The Gorgas don’t need to slip by this time, because before cozying up to producers was Marge’s playbook on RHONJ, it was Joey and Melissa’s. She learned it from them. All this happened before and during Strippergate. It’s time for Sirens to go.
The RHONJ fans know that Melissa, Marge, etc. are doing the most on social media and in the press, all while Teresa and Louie are living their best lives like the show doesn’t even exist. It’s still The Teresa Show.
This is why Bravo has to make changes on RHONJ. It’s the viewers who are sick of the mess.
It’s only a matter of time before the bust-outs extend beyond the cast and onto the producers.
Marge and Melissa started this dirty game, and it’s not going to end until they’re gone.
What I got from this reunion is that Margaret messed with the wrong person. Her arsenal and lethal enemy BS finally caught up to her. She gives Rinna vibes with paying bloggers.
And this is where the theory that Marge is on the block is going to be proven right. People forget it was Rinna’s off-camera antics that eventually got her canned.
Objectively, production does need to be changed because the stories have grown stale, and now we know that behind the scenes they are ramping up the fights between RHONJ cast and Teresa.
I don’t think we’ll get the same producers even if we get the same production company.
How did all of this mess make the show? RHONJ spent two seasons villainizing Louie, even extending it to these cast members who paid off fraudulent FRAUDcasters and FRAUDggers to spread these lies that people are running with. I hope Louie sues the crap out of all of y’all and wins. It’s disgusting what’s going on here.
And NONE of these FRAUDcasters and FRAUDggers belong on The Housewives shows. Clearly, they have been compromised with cash and event invites and interviews.
RHONJ is one of several Housewives franchises that pushed unsubstantiated rumors to the show’s ruin.
Teresa said at the reunion about not seeing Melissa’s face again, and Andy said under his breath, “Let me know how that works out.” If you watched the show from the beginning, you’d know that Teresa sticks to her word. If she says she’s not looking at her face, Melissa’s chopped. If Melissa’s there, it’s like she’s not.
We saw this already with Caroline, Jacqueline, Jackie, Kathy and Rosie, and in the end it will be Melissa and Marge.
Teresa didn’t involve the kids. The kids were raised in part by Teresa’s parents, who were hurt and disrespected by Joey and Melissa’s actions. If you’re still in early RHONJ episodes you haven’t seen it yet. Keep watching.
10-year-old Gia never spoke badly about Melissa. If anything, back then Gia always defended Joey and Melissa and wanted them to come around. It was 3-year-old Milania who didn’t like Melissa: she favored her Dad Juicy, who insisted to Teresa that Melissa was bad news. Milania parroted things she heard her Dad say.
Pull the receipts. RHONJ is on Peacock or on YouTube for the world to see, so claiming that Gia was calling Joey and Melissa names is just a lie. Milania said something ONCE on camera when she was three. That’s how late that assertion is. Gia never talked smack. Milania made a wise crack when she was three and that was straight from her Dad Juicy, who told Teresa about her brother for years.
Gia is the kid we watched for years take up for Joey, in tears that he and Teresa would fight and that he wouldn’t come around, even when her grandparents begged. And Joey and Melissa are doing this. It’s gross. Bravo isn’t worth it.
Teresa loves her brother, no doubt, but holds a serious grudge against him and Melissa, as she should. They conspired to come on RHONJ and “take her down” and rallied with multiple people to do it. They lied about taking care of her family while she was in prison, conspired with the informants that helped put her there, and lied about that too. That’s a forever grudge.
Teresa tried with Melissa, although her parents never really liked her and thought she was a gold digger. Then Melissa started a one-sided competition which resulted in her backdooring her way onto RHONJ.
Kathy and Rosie knew the truth, that none of the Gorgas really liked Melissa and thought she was a gold digger. Instead of not taking sides, Kathy came on RHONJ and got in bed with Joey and Melissa and then brought their elderly Mom on to attack Teresa and her Dad too.
Kathy, Rosie and Richie were morons. They were used (like many others) by Melissa and Joey to attack Teresa, and when they figured out that Bravo would not do RHONJ without Teresa, they got the bus backed over them by Melissa and Joey so those two could save themselves.

“I get the feeling the Wakiles and Tre/Louie have mended fences behind the scene. Louie and Jacqueline might have something to do with this…”
If so, that’s good. Kathy and Teresa used to be tight growing up. But for the stunts the Wakiles and Rosie pulled, there should be some serious sincere apologies before a fence could be mended for real. However, blessings. Hope it works out.
Despite everything he did to his family, if Joey would have shut Melissa and Marge down for going after Teresa and Louie, they’d still be on RHONJ with their spots secure. Teresa would have turned yet another cheek.
The Gorgas and Marge are fitting to get dragged all season long. It’s their bust-out season.
Last season was about Teresa’s wedding and the excuses that Joe and Melissa made not to participate, to try to ruin it. If it were about exposing The Gorgas (or Marge) it wouldn’t have been about the wedding. This is the season, the one coming up, to expose The Gorgas and Marge.
Teresa should NOT refuse to film with The Gorgas. She should film with them and NOT give them anything. Act like they don’t exist, and never mention their names.
So, instead of a season of Melissa and Teresa feuding, we’ll be blessed with a season of the group trying to get them to speak and probably a lackluster, heavily-promoted episode of them finally having a sit down.
We saw this before, and what did Teresa do with Kathy and Rosie in the end? Jacqueline? Jackie. They’re done. We get to see how it plays out now.
Melissa is fired… only now she lost the chance to save face and say she walked.
If Teresa canceled her, Melissa’s done: we just get to see her pack her crap all season long.
Teresa will ignore The Gorgas. When Teresa says she’s doing something on the show she pretty much always follows through.
Melissa’s leaving. You can still bank on that check.
Teresa is pretty stubborn. She’s not going to give Melissa anything. The whole season will be about trying to get her to do it. She won’t. They will show why, and Melissa will be gone following this.
It’s Melissa’s last season. She will need to show she can have a story without Teresa. If not, she’s cooked.
“Andy Cohen Thinks Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga Can Co-Exist on RHONJ” – @AllAboutTRH
They could co-exist, but Teresa won’t give Melissa anything and pay her dust, meaning it’s a waste of time for her to be there. Actually, it’s a waste now. Melissa has yet to have a story besides antagonizing Teresa, so Melissa should go.
They aren’t going to fight because Teresa won’t give them anything. She did the same thing to Kathy and Rosie. When she says she’s doing something, she follows through. They’re going to have to stand on their own.
We watched Kathy and Rosie have a whole season full of scenes trying to make up and doing confessionals about Teresa not trying, and they were still gone at the end. Both got nothing from Teresa all season long and were cut in the end. Same thing, rinse and repeat.
If Teresa doesn’t play into it, The Gorgas and Marge are gone for good.
Brandon Fluellen wrote on twitter (@BMFluellen1):
All the people that have been jilted by Melissa, Joe, and Marge have been speaking out. All Teresa needs to do is provide them with a platform. All of that is coming to the show. Watch.
At this point, Tre needs to handle this two ways:
1. Simply ignore the Gorgas all season with no interactions at all.
2. Go out in a blaze of glory and bring out every person Joe/Melissa/Marge has wronged in every group scene. Literally, derail the season.
And if Tre were smart, she’d make up with Kathy’s crew (I suspect she has), as Kathy knows where all the bodies lie with the Gorgas.

Louie did not hire a PI to investigate the cast. The PI was hired to get to the bottom of his ex-girlfriend, who has several restraining orders against HER from exes and her tracking Louie, Teresa and their kids. The cast is found at the bottom of the mess, in cahoots.
Most people missed that Teresa said there are sworn affidavits at play. This means lawyers are definitely involved. Marge and Melissa went way too far this time.
It has to be pointed out that Marge suddenly got mute when Louie and Teresa mentioned they had an AFFIDAVIT from someone exposing Marge’s involvement with the ex. Melissa AND Marge may get chopped.
https://twitter.com/jenngradybklyn/status/1669553243989454850?s=20
Teresa mentioned that Louie has a signed affidavit of Marge speaking with someone who knows/is harassing them. Louie said he has a lot more.
Breanne wrote on twitter (@ATall_why):
“Frank knows they have opened the door and Luis ass is about to walk in it and shut all their mess down. They shoulda left that man alone.”
Now, if you put it together, this is why Frank made that IG post about Louie being a good Father. He’s trying to back away from the mess.
If people really want to be real about it, THIS is the scene from the RHONJ reunion everyone needed to pay attention to. That whole left couch is going to get exposed. Only Frank caught Teresa mentioning the sworn affidavit. This aint good.

The cast is trying to hide their ties to Louie’s ex, who has been outed tracking Louie, Teresa, their kids, their kid’s friends, and Juicy Joe. She even has a standing restraining order from an ex-husband. That’s what they’re hiding.
An investigation of the root of Louie’s online harassment isn’t going to stop with the cast. The production is likely involved, as well, and enabled a lot of it. Do you think Teresa (and Louie) is not going to bring it up during contract talks?

It would be interesting if it weren’t so stalkery and stupid.
Louie’s ex has inserted herself into RHONJ, from following Teresa and her daughters to thinking Kim D is her bestie. This woman is nothing more than a scorned ex who stalks Louie and Teresa. And that’s why Kim has said on Behind The Velvet Rope that she hopes this gets settled out of court.
They know Louie got the goods on how they were all running around with this woman, who is harassing him, Teresa, and the kids. It’s about to come out.
There are actual receipts of this ex-girlfriend’s court records, restraining orders, crazy texts to him demanding money, tracking Louie and Teresa’s kids on social media; and she’s the source of all of the Louie rumors spread by Marge and Melissa.
This woman, Vanessa Reiser, the ex, is claiming someone came to her job to get info but this lady has been talking with Margaret and following the whole cast. She even has a highlight reel on her instagram titled RHONJ, as if she’s part of the cast or something. She’s been online commenting and trying to diagnose Gia, saying she’s being groomed. A normal therapist does not do something like that. I don’t believe anything she says.
The woman is a nut. She was Louie’s therapist and started dating him, which is a huge no-no, and then sued him after he broke up with her. Apparently, she does this to all of her exes. Before Louie, her former husband has a restraining order against HER.
It might be true that an investigator was sent to Vanessa’s office. That’s because she’s been tracking the Giudice/Ruelas family and is at the center of the desperate cast’s attempts to stay on the show. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Teresa’s new Benz got robbed either.
My bet is Louie does have an investigation going after receiving threats and realizing his family was being tracked by his problematic ex, and this investigation has already uncovered the ex’s ties to half the cast and exactly what they were doing.

P.S. I notice several of Andy’s friends suddenly going double-time on Louie, as if he’s that important, and publicly arguing for The Gorgas. Whatever’s going down behind the scenes with this pause is real. People forget Andy has a contract too.
Louie told Teresa she doesn’t have to put up with the b.s. nor does she need the Bravo money anymore. So Teresa isn’t taking the abuse that RHONJ and Bravo have been using to keep the b.s. going for the ratings, and they’re mad about it.
It’s not only the cast smearing Louie. The producers – who on RHONJ introduced Louie’s ex girlfriend’s claims through Marge and Melissa without fact checking, only for the ex-girfriend to be exposed with a history of stalking and a restraining order against herself – should be FIRED. They are responsible for this mess at BravoTV.
Louie’s ex is being asked by RHONJ fans why she’s following Teresa and her daughters, her answer… she claims to be a fan of Teresa, but her Twitter ‘likes’ tell another story. Sis is a stalker, PERIOD. DOT.

Look what that nut is saying. What she lists first. This woman is tracking Louie, Teresa, and their kids, and what she’s worried about is a house and other things that require money. She feels entitled to his money. Remember her texts demanding houses, etc?
She’s following Tre’s kids and their boyfriends, and her restraining order from an ex is a mess.
The RHONJ producers will care when the viewers online continue pulling receipts and blowing up storylines. Because there’s so much more to tell. SO much more.
All of that narrative comes from Marge, Melissa and Joey, and they should be exposed. They’ve been maligning Louie since he got with Teresa. Bravo and the RHONJ producers should know the fans online will be pulling receipts and blowing up storylines.

“The obsession with Louie being some kind of monster is weird AF. Teresa is a grown ass woman. If he is these things that y’all claim, she’ll see it for herself, eventually. Like just let the woman be happy and move along with your lives.”
Everything they say that makes Louie the villain they got from the show or from these Marge/Melissa smear podcasts and blogs. No receipts. The stupidest comments are the ones that call for Teresa to have a prenup, when she’s been hustling since she’s been out of prison.
This woman, Vanessa Reiser, the ex, is crazy, and the more people keep going at her with the receipts she will crack and point the finger back to Marge, Melissa, Joey, Rachel and Jackie. Keep going.
Louie is a founder of a publicly-traded marketing agency, where he also worked until they asked him to step down because of all of the stuff on RHONJ. Marge (and Melissa) were the ones who started spreading the ex girlfriend/stalker’s version of events first, and the media ran with it.
People are allowed to be eccentric. What Louie does (and says) sometimes on the show isn’t for me, but if Teresa loves it, that’s it. Painting him to be a predator, abuser, etc. based on an ex, who is actually proven to be the abuser/stalker, is wrong.
A “road rage” incident, where someone stopped short at a stop sign, almost causing a collision: Louie got out of his car, screamed at the person, banged on the car, and left, paying a small fine. Name the multiple assaults against women. Date and charge.
The other exes have not gone to the lengths that Vanessa has [there are two exes of Louie’s named Vanessa; the other one is dating Dolores’ ex, David]. Not only has she had an indisputable history of stalking, she has a restraining order and has infiltrated the lives of half the cast/friends on a personal level. Her claims should have NEVER been introduced on the show.
Louie married the person he loved. She’s famous. Even before Louie and Teresa were married, the cast were spreading around this b.s. about him, and it turns out it’s lies from an actual stalker.
BravoBadGirl wrote on twitter (@BravoBadGirl):
“They blame Lou for losing their deal with another network. Sorry Frank. It’s not a smear campaign to highlight the truth: you were disbarred. Joe doesn’t pay people. It’s not smear when it’s fact.”
Are they serious? Frank had a possession with an intent to distribute charge, Joe is on camera berating tenants, screaming at Jennifer, owes everyone in town, Marge’s antics lost the deal for her. How is Louie at fault and not their own behavior?
Teresa didn’t pay her taxes and lied on a mortgage application. Fuda has a hardcore drug charge. So does Frank with a intent to distribute charge. Marge and Joey owe everyone in town. Melissa has a theft conviction. Teresa is NOT the biggest criminal on RHONJ by a long shot.
Teresa is a felon who had to pay millions in restitution and an IRS million-dollar tax bill. Her conviction prevents her from getting a mortgage. She also currently lives in a mansion on six acres. She doesn’t have money to protect with a prenup. LOUIE is the wealthy one.

“It’s absolutely ridiculous that anyone would believe Louie would track down Marge’s son, call from HIS OWN phone number and say his full name and threaten him… if he was gonna do all that it would definitely be to get the tea, honey, not to threaten him lol🍵”
Marge’s entire claim was stupid and so were the people who believed it. It literally made no sense.
Nobody cares about Marge’s Ali Express makeup brushes that no one even knew existed until y’all started pushing this “LOUie’s GOt A SMEar CaMPAIGn AgainsT MarGE” b.s. It’s a lie, plain and simple. Marge isn’t that relevant and Louie is married to the star of RHONJ.

“This back and forth between content creators and RHONJ cast members is weirdo behavior. And cast members threatening regular ol’ viewers is setting a dangerous precedent. It’s a SHOW. Everyone please go touch grass.”
We all know Melissa, Marge and Rachel are buying followers and bots. The engagement of these followers and bots was non-existent. They rolled in during the airing of every RHONJ episode, posting the same exact favorable thing for Marge, Melissa and Rachel, within minutes of each other and, poof, gone.
The Reality TV Guru wrote on twitter (@Realitytvguru13):
“Yeah some of you bigger accounts who report on every Louis article or story are radio silent on any of the recent Gorga stuff? Must only talk about Teresa and Louis because you’ll know you’ll get engagement 😂 Shall I start tagging people.”
Those accounts have nothing to say because they are guilty. The account who revealed that Marge basically bribed her for dirt to use on RHONJ opened the floodgates of scrutiny to all of these faux bloggers and podcasters who are suddenly on the Marge/Gorga bandwagon.
If you go on YouTube, you will see a lot of people who want to be on Bravocon panels and get featured in clips on the Housewives shows. Bravo and the Housewives have totally corrupted the reality show vloggers/podcasters, and it’s beyond obvious.
Marge is a dirtbag and so are these producers. They gotta go at BravoTV. It’s all coming out. Bribing these fraud podcasters and bloggers, contacting families to create drama on the show. It’s bad. Save yourselves.
The reason why Marge’s envelope never came out at the RHONJ reunion is because Louie stated that he had an AFFIDAVIT (read: lawsuit) from someone confirming Marge’s involvement with the stalker ex who’s the source of Marge and Melissa’s Louie smear campaign. She shut her mouth.
They were trying to get Frank to make claims against Louie, and Frank was telling them, “They had to say it first.” When Dolores shut it down, Frank cosigned. At the end, Frank was trying to shake hands. Frank heard it for sure and shut up.
BrittanyLee wrote on twitter (@trashtvnpolitix):
“Don’t they have a clause in their contracts that they can’t sue the other housewives?”
If you are a Housewife, yes. Louie is not a Housewife. And certain things Bravo cannot protect the Housewives from, no matter what.

People are brushing it off, but he’s got a good claim here. They’ve been trashing him for two years off of this nutball ex’s claims. They didn’t fact-check. His reputation and business were hurt. Louie is not a Housewife. He doesn’t have the same contract.
It’s not a threat when you have the facts to back it up (it’s mind-boggling how dumb it was for Kim D to say that). The court awarded a restraining order against the ex! It’s proven that Vanessa was tracking an ex-husband, the same thing she’s doing to Louie, Teresa AND their kids, their kids’ friends, and Juicy Joe now.
I was thinking demote both Melissa and Marge because of their off-camera nonsense. They’re forgetting that Louie is rich and not really a cast member. He has the money to go after them and take on Bravo to do it. And it looks like he is.
Marge really didn’t have much going, and she’s making the show nasty in a quest to be the top RHONJ Housewife. It was off-camera stunts that got Rinna fired, and Marge is about to go the same way.
That entire left couch did too much at the RHONJ reunion. Long-time viewers remember this happened before and during Strippergate, and it led to the entire original cast/vets being let go from RHONJ. It always ends this way.
David @behindvelvetro1, protect your business and yourself. Marge and The Gorgas seem to have finally met their match, and Kim D’s “sources” could involve you in a mess. Leave Louie’s ex-girlfriend and her claims alone. It’s bad news.

“There is a smear campaign going on against Teresa and Louie fans. The angle has switched from Louie to attacking Teresa fans. Just remember, they are also viewers, a large chunk of them.”
I find it funny that certain HWs Influencer Wannabes spent two RHONJ seasons quoting Louie’s ex’s claims but now it turns out she’s a nut, and Marge, Melissa, Joey, Frank and The Fudas are criminals too. It’s like “Stop Guys! Think of the Children!” when the viewers clap back.
No one knows if it’s Marge’s son Spencer’s phone. Marge lies, so we need to hear the story directly from him. We didn’t even know his name. Anyone using an office phone knows a number being called in or out shows on the phone screen. That photo isn’t proof of anything.
End Quote
Marge had a picture of an office phone with Louie’s number on it. That’s what they were looking at. Office phone screens show the number that calls you or the number you call. She had no proof. And her “child” is 30 and has never been on RHONJ, so there’s no reason to call him.
Where is the police report? That’s public record. The RHONJ Reunion was filmed in April. Marge cannot file a police report for something that did not happen to her. Her son is a grown man. That whole story was a lie.
Marge just lies. She called her adult son, with a child of his own, a “child” so that she could invoke outrage from the audience. Most people don’t realize he’s nearly 30 years old and never even appeared on RHONJ. She didn’t give a damn about Jennifer’s actual children.
Marge was friends with David and Kim D from the Behind The Velvet Rope podcast, feeding them all types of b.s. about Louie until they fell out with her too. This is Marge’s M.O., and now her scheme is being busted out by the viewers who are tired of it and The Gorgas.
Marge is going to suffer the same fate as Rinna. If not now, next season. She did too much this time. This ex of Louie’s is a documented nut, and I think he hired the investigators to shut it down, and he has proof. If Marge would have played it cool, she’d be safe.
Marge and Melissa befriended Louie’s ex to smear him, not realizing she’s a nutcase with court-ordered restraining orders against her for the same stuff she’s doing to Louie.
When all of those Louie videos came out from his documented deranged ex, who Marge and Melissa befriended, a wannabe vlog/podcaster was spreading the b.s. BravoTV better be cutting all of these thirstbox mess-starters from the BravoCon comp list too.
The truth is, Marge and Melissa befriended Louie’s ex, who had several restraining orders against her and has now taken to tracking their kids. The PI found out about it and now they’re trying to deflect and distract. This Walmart nonsense also is b.s to deflect.
Teresa and Louie need a security guard because Marge and Melissa thought it was a good idea to befriend Louie’s ex, who has been following and accusing Teresa and Louie, Juicy, and their kids and their friends online. Bravo needs to cut the crap.
The Bravo viewers are not to be effed with. Eventually, they’ll pull your card. This has happened across the entire franchise of shows, including RHONJ. There wasn’t this bitching and moaning when people were dragging Louie over his crazy ex. That’s why you fight fair.
What we are seeing play out is RHONJ cast and producers fighting for their jobs. The pause isn’t just about the cast.
Seems obvious that the RHONJ casting is above Andy now, and everyone in front and behind the camera is being looked at. Louie’s ex is bad news with a documented history. It seems they didn’t do the research prior to incorporating her claims into RHONJ, and it’s backfiring.

“I never really hung up with Caroline. I always hung out with her younger sister Dina and Jacqueline.” – Teresa Giudice, Season 4 Episode 18
“We were never really friends. She was an acquaintance; she was very good friends with my sister… I think Jacqueline suffered the biggest blow here… We vacationed together. We were in the same crew. We went to dinners a lot, but was there ever a time I would pick up the phone and say, ‘What are you doing?’ No. So there’s no friendship, and I’m not bothered by it.” – Caroline Manzo, October 12, 2011, The Gayle King Show
“Why did her own brother call her garbage? And the banging on the table thing? Must be a Gorga trait. Something in their DNA maybe? It just wasn’t adding up. Was I missing something? Teresa never talked that much about her brother or Melissa with me. I’d seen them at all of her parties, but never noticed if they talked to each other. I think I just assumed that all was well. Up until this point I hadn’t heard anything that would make me think there were such deep issues between her and her brother that he would call her garbage.” – Jacqueline Laurita, May 23, 2011, Second Bravo Blog for Season 3
“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
“I’ve never heard one kind word out of Teresa’s mouth regarding Melissa. I have heard golddigger, whore, she was a stripper. I cannot be the length this person would go to hurt. I have the luxury of walking away.” – Caroline Manzo, Season 4 Episode 18
Caroline Manzo is lying — Teresa didn’t talk trash about her family to her. Caroline is on record in October 2011 as saying she and Teresa were never really friends and that they were simply on the same crew. However, a month earlier, in September 2011, during season 4 episode 18, she tells Kathy and Melissa that Teresa talked bad about them to her for years. And in Caroline’s talking head interview, she even stretches the lie to include Teresa’s mother. Earlier, in May 2011, we have Jacqueline writing in her blog that Teresa never talked much about her brother or Melissa with her. So we are supposed to believe Caroline — even though Teresa was never her friend and she was only in her presence when Jacqueline or Dina were around — when she says that Teresa was trash talking her family to Caroline, yet Jacqueline heard nothing? Of course Caroline is lying. Jacqueline went against family with Danielle in season 1, and she learned her lesson about suffering the wrath of Caroline, so Jacqueline has changed her story to match Caroline’s, and Jacqueline is now lying too.
“Jacqueline posted in her online blog back in May 2011 (after the first episode with the infamous christening throwdown) that Teresa didn’t really mention Melissa and Joe G. to her, so she had no idea things were so bad between them and was surprised Joe called his sister garbage. So which is it? Weren’t Caroline and Jacqueline insisting that Teresa has been badmouthing her family for a long time? I remember the episode when Teresa was describing the ‘cookie-gate’ incident when she threw away Melissa’s Christmas cookies. Caroline wasn’t acting like she’d heard that story before. When has Teresa allegedly talked bad about her family, because we don’t really see her do it on camera? She talked about some of her issues with them, but Jacqueline and Caroline are insisting the Teresa was making her family out to be a bunch of horrible people with horrible pasts, and she didn’t want her friends to have anything to do with them. When was this? Jacqueline was still friends with Teresa in May 2011, and she had no reason to lie then about not having heard anything about Melissa and Joe. In fact, it seems common that a friend would vent to another friend about family problems they’re having, so I didn’t see anything really wrong with it in the first place, but Jacqueline is now changing her story. And when you think about it, Teresa is usually private about certain matters, like her finances and problems she’s having, so it seems consistent that she wouldn’t tell even some of her close friends about her family issues. Plus, how did Caroline get in the mix? She always says she and Teresa were never friends, and you never really see them hanging out alone. How could Jacqueline be in the dark about Teresa’s family issues, but Caroline was somehow privy to everything? When was she in a car with Teresa overhearing her talk to her mother? Teresa has been called out for some of her lies for the last two seasons, but it’s time for the rest of the liars to be brought out, too. Jacqueline was either lying then or lying now.” – blumarine, September 14, 2011, Lipstick Alley
At least three of Caroline Manzo’s 10 siblings are not speaking to her. Caroline can’t own her own bad behavior — she blames Teresa for all her broken relationships, especially the feud with her sister Dina Manzo. Dina has stated over and over again that her feud with Caroline and Jacqueline has nothing to do with Teresa.
“She [Teresa] didn’t do anything that I know of to hurt them it’s all BS…everyone should play nice. That’s what I think.” – Dina Manzo, June 24, 2012, Twitter
Someone tweeted Dina on June 24, 2012, “@dinamanzo can u clear that u n Caroline not talking has nothing to do w Teresa! Plz!”, and Dina replied, “I’ve said it over and over…check out my blog on dinamanzo.com.”
“I love the season 1 reunion where Caroline freaks on Danielle. Dina and Jaq are nervously laughing and Caroline is like, ‘I should forgive…..*crazy eyes* but I CAN’T!’ You can hear Dina saying, ‘Hey, cut it out’ and ‘Don’t start this’.” – Diggory17, June 23, 2012, IMDb.com
“Caroline…We are all waiting on those emails. I caught a clip of reunion 3 with Caroline saying that she and Jax have emails of proof that Teresa caused Dina to stop talking to them (and Teresa replying, ‘Bring it baby’). I am STILL waiting, lol.” – violetrose1460, June 21, 2012, IMDb.com
Note that Teresa’s Fabellini Launch Party, which Dina attended and Bravo filmed on October 7, 2011, was after the big blow up at the Posche Fashion Show (PFS) on September 27, 2011 (the evening before the reunion for season 3 was filmed); however, based on previews, it looks like Bravo plans to air the launch party first (out of sequence), during episode 18 (video), and the PSF as part of the season finale (episode 19). Also note that the launch party was filmed more than a month after Caroline’s verbal assault on Teresa, which was instigated by Kathy in the hot tub scene during episode 17.

Jacqueline has always had a nasty habit of running to the press and being an insider on different stories. She will go to magazines, blogs, and will even direct message people on Twitter. When she does this, she will often say nasty things, depending on who she is mad at or how she is feeling.
“If I get hurt I get nasty, and I got nasty because I was hurt.” – Jacqueline Laurita, Season 4 Episode 15
Regarding Dina and Jacqueline, in September 2010, Jacqueline, holding a grudge against Dina about something, went to LynnNChicago with a story that Dina’s Project Ladybug Foundation was not legit; it caused Dina a lot of problems just as the project was getting up and running; and, to make matters worse, Caroline did not back Dina, probably because, according to an ‘inside source’ for Reality Tea:
“Project Ladybug was a charity started by ALL the Laurita sisters. When Dina went on the show [RHONJ], she took it over as if she was the founder and the blood, sweat, and tears behind it. She wanted the glory and the attention associated with Project Ladybug. She wanted to look like the hero.” Caroline and their other sister, Cookie Laurita, allowed Dina to take the lead and downplayed their involvement, but Dina “only speaks of Project Ladybug as if it were her own.” – ‘Inside Source’, March 10, 2012, Reality Tea
“Dina has said many times she distanced herself from all of them, including Teresa. But she and Teresa did not fight, she just chose not to be around them because of RHNOJ. She ‘cooled’ the relationship. Dina and Caroline are a different story, which is all about project Ladybug. It was being attacked by bloggers back then, and Caroline would not defend Dina or the charity. Dina had access to Caroline’s Twitter and tweeted support using Caroline’s account! Lauren logged on and claimed her mom’s Twitter was ‘hacked’, and deleted the tweets! [@laurenmanzo ‘some1 hacked into my moms account and wrote the ‘please stop’ tweet… I changed her password everything is fine!’] That is the reason they don’t talk. It has nothing to do with Teresa.” – SODA1, August 6, 2012, Reality Tea
Apparently, there was an issue with Dina’s charity where something was filled out incorrectly on a tax form — it was a mistake, which was being corrected, but Jacqueline, hiding behind the title of ‘inside source’, gave the story to LynnNChicago. She made it seem like Dina’s charity was a fraud. Caroline wasn’t saying or doing anything to stop the bad press Dina was receiving. Then Dina went on Caroline’s Twitter page and tweeted support for herself as Caroline. In response, Lauren (or Ashley) went and said that Caroline’s Twitter had been hacked (basically denying that they were supporting Dina).
“Dina Manzo’s temper got the better of her once again this week as people have been questioning her Project Ladybug charity. A document that I posted a few days ago, that I received from a Twitter friend (@Geoaubsmom), has sparked the interest of many people questioning how their donations to Project Ladybug are being used… Between the parody accounts and the Project Ladybug.pdf getting tweeted often by me to followers, different people, including Dina, she got fed up. Dina started on a tirade about haters and tweetholes… If Project Ladybug is completely legitimate, Dina Manzo should have nothing to hide; her anger and using sick children to gain sympathy for her cause really has to make you question what she’s doing here.” – Lynn Hudson, September 29, 2010, LynnNChicago101.wordpress.com (The Story That Started Charitygate)
“In an internet radio interview, @Geoaubsmom asked Jacqueline Laurita outright on Twitter if she heard the recent interview that Carly Hall did regarding Dina Manzo’s Project Ladybug Charity. Here is Jacqueline’s response on October 17, 2010: @JacLaurita: @geoaubsmom ‘I have. What do you expect me to say? I’m not getting involved in that. So I will just say, NO COMMENT to all those asking’.” – Lynn Hudson, October 18, 2010, LynnNChicago101.wordpress.com
“LynnNChicago has added to ‘Project Ladybug Woes’ on her site. It has now become a collection of document(s) and screen-shots of bizarre TWITTER messages. People who have made innocent (ok, maybe skeptically innocent) inquiries into the PL (PROJECT LADYBUG) financials have been met with emotionally charged messages, like ‘you are trying to hurt sick children!!!’ to THREATS that they have been reported to ‘authorities’. Lynn’s blog is abuzz with talk of PL today, and one commenter posted a link to a recent newspaper article (August 2010) that boasts donations of $20,000.” – Dina’s Still Being Pestered About PROJECT LADYBUG, September 30, 2010, North Jersey.com

So Jacqueline started a very damaging rumor about Project Ladybug and Caroline basically did nothing to defend Dina. Jacqueline is a busy body, and both she and Caroline are liars.
The story was also picked up by: http://realcityhousewife.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-dina-manzo/
“Jacqueline just seems to have a problem. PERIOD. I know I’ve read comments from fans who said she DM’ed them. I believe she’s putting a lot of stories out there. I know she was feeding Danielle information in season 1 — that’s how it got out Caroline was behind the book. I think Jackie told Danielle that Caroline said Dina was behind it.” – Miza, 08-28-2012, TWP
The source for the LynnNChicago blog about Dina’s charity is Jacqueline, and Jacqueline would not have planted this story without Caroline’s backing. Jacqueline was also the source for a September 30, 2010, LynnNChicago story about Teresa’s financial situation (Jacqueline’s go-to blogger at the time was Lynn). Here’s the excerpt from that blog:
“I have received some inside information that outlines Teresa and Joe Giudice’s plan to get out of this financial mess. The plan was told directly to my source by Teresa. The plan is for Teresa to take on all the debt (which she’s already done) and spend a few months making those payments to make it look as though she’s trying to make it right and then re-file the bankruptcy to eliminate all debt once again. I was told that she and Joe thought that they were smarter than the authorities and she was laughing. I’m told Teresa continues to spend money like she has a money tree because her plan is to dump it all into the new bankruptcy when she refiles early next year.”
Check out some of Jacqueline’s tweets that confirm she is the source:
Another disgusting display of Teresa’s lies. Keep hanging yourself!Tell every1 the plan 2file 4bankruptcy#2 @how u laugh At beating the system!
Teresa,keep spending all the money u do &making profit from people w/ fake stories u sell. It will catch up to u.U never stopped spending.
The people hiding behind your fake twitters(ahem)w/0-9 followers r pathetic. Grow balls&say who u r.U know who I am.I put it out there.
“Caroline is an extremely negative person. And she is a fool. She has demonstrated this past season the emotional monster she really is. It is clear to see why family members have distanced themselves form her. It is also clear why Teresa’s family joined the show and has caused much distress that should have never occurred. When you pick a camera over your family and morals, you are a selfish pig! When her nephew died, she was not invited to the funeral (her brother told her not to go.) What did Caroline do that make her brother hate her so much that he refused to allow her to pay respects at the funeral? Yet, knowing this, this woman wants us to believe she is innocent in all the battles she has with her many siblings and her own mother? Everyone is out to get Caroline? It’s clear Caroline does consider Teresa family: she gave her the same treatment she has given so many of her other siblings. This woman needs some mental health assistance. She is not stable. I have seen many times on Twitter Caroline’s mother repeatedly asking the Manzo kids to stop sending nasty, vulgar, mean tweets to their other various family members. This is separate from Teresa. Poor Grandma is embarrassed with how petty, cruel and juvenile both Caroline and her adult children continue to be in public to their own family. Is it any wonder they are cruel to people outside the family if they can not even show respect inside their family. It speaks volumes of Teresa’s character that when she was on WWHL, she mentioned that she wanted to go back in the room (during season 4 episode 17) and tell Caroline off, but then she remembered her friend, Dina, and her mother, Nettie, and chose to just walk away and let it go because of how Dina and Caroline always say how they don’t want their mother to worry. I wish everyone else had the same respect for mama and papa Gorga that Teresa has for Nettie Laurita.” – Say What??, August 27, 2012, AllAboutTRH.com
The Manzo/Laurita camp (probably with Jacqueline, under Caroline’s instruction, leading the effort), claiming to be inside sources, have been spreading rumors via the internet throughout 2012 (see article about Tom Murro) that Dina’s and Teresa’s friendship is a business relationship just for show.
AllAboutTRH Covered One of the Fake Stories Reported by Reality Tea
For those of you who don’t know, former New Jersey housewife Dina Manzo had a fallout with her sister Caroline Manzo and sister in law Jacqueline Laurita. Many are not exactly sure what the reason is but there have been several rumors starting from blaming Teresa and Dina simply being over the drama with her in law. Dina is known for being a ‘charitable girl’ and Jacqueline “sources” recently told Reality Tea that everything is all for show including her friendship with Teresa Giudice.
From Reality Tea:
“Little Mrs Charity……is not who everyone thought she was,” our source asserts. “Dina’s social media image is SO farfetched from who the ‘real’ Dina is. Those who really know her just shake their heads and laugh.”
If you’re wondering if Dina and Caroline Manzo have patched things up, the answer is no. They’re still not speaking; nor is Dina speaking to Jacqueline. Many have wondered how Dina could continue her friendship with Teresa, particularly after all the drama with Caroline, and the answer is money! Apparently, the two have a completely business relationship built around mutual favor.
“Teresa taped a segment for her party planning show, Dina’s Party. She needs Teresa to help her with her popularity. In return, Dina attended her beverage launch party and was filmed by Bravo. Their interaction was so fake,” the insider describes.
“Dina also wants to come out with a book and she wants to use the same publishing house as Teresa. So, basically it is a business deal. Dina may take to Twitter to praise Teresa but, that is not what she claims behind the scene.”
So how did Dina respond to this? She wrote:
“@realitytea hey just read ur post! Next time u want a source #truth ask my parents or the parents of a ladybug not an envious loser! Thanks!”
Well well well, I wonder who Dina is talking about! It sounds like Jacqueline is behind this story. Jacqueline has given scoops about RHONJ and also provided a nasty scoop about her sister-in-law Dina to LynnNChicago that she was warned about. I wonder why Chris Laurita, Dina’s brother and Jacqueline’s husband, doesn’t ever stop Jac? If it was Jac behind this story, that’s just sad. Another reason I think it’s most likely Jacqueline is because when word got out that Dina filmed a little part with Teresa on season 4, Jacqueline messaged me about it and called out Dina for doing it:
“For someone who claims she wants to ‘AVOID drama’ she sure picked a heck of a time to go film with Teresa when she would never film with her own family and then she tweets some of the antagonizing comments that mostly only her family understand, and also she sent that blog the way she did to cover her tracks. She claims to be ZEN.”
http://www.allabouttrh.com/dinaresponds/
More tweets from Dina after the story broke out:
Jacqueline Gave an Exclusive Interview to LynnNChicago, Posted on April 23, 2012
“There is a Trump connection, they have the same publicist company and the charity that Teresa is playing for is also Trump’s” Jac told me.
Fascinating! Jacqueline told us that Teresa’s Celebrity Apprentice charity NephCure Foundation is one that is near and dear to Trump and that Teresa may have chosen it with a little nudge from Trump’s people as she met this family at a Trump event. Regardless of why she chose it, it is an excellent charity.
Jacqueline confirmed that Dina Manzo had hopes that Teresa would chose her charity, “Project Ladybug” and that it would explain why Dina broke her vow to avoid all of the Jersey Housewives and film with Teresa.
Jacqueline brought up Dina Manzo, she told me that her sister-in-law doesn’t speak to any of the Housewives,
“Dina doesn’t talk to any of us anymore, she decided to stay away from all of us that were involved with the show, she wanted to be on her own”.
Before I could ask about Dina’s involvement with Teresa, Jacqueline offered,
“Teresa reached out to Dina and I still don’t know why Dina agreed to film with her, they’re not friends now.”
I asked Jacqueline what she thought of Dina’s show, “well, it got picked up for another season” was all I could get out of her.
“I don’t think Caroline is finished with Teresa yet. Caroline has done nothing but grow angrier and more hateful as this season has progressed because the majority of the viewers haven’t supported her against Teresa. I think Caroline is used to getting her way and whatever she wants, and she is just livid because she and her family aren’t the breakout stars of the show. The Manzo & Laurita products haven’t been doing well, no matter how they try to hype it to us, is another sore point. With Dina showing up to support Teresa in an upcoming episode, I’m sure Caroline will be loaded for bear during the reunion. My prediction is Caroline will fabricate something horrendous about Teresa and reveal it on the reunion with at least Jacqueline backing her up (maybe Melissa & Kathy too). Caroline is always spouting she is all about truth and telling it like it is, but she isn’t and doesn’t. With some checking, you would be surprised. She’s like Melissa… deny, deny, deny until she gets caught. She thinks if she gets in your face and spews like she did last reunion that makes her believable… NOT. I find it ironic someone would actually back an advice book for her — that’s just too funny. Anyway, you ‘HEARD IT HERE FIRST,’ as Caroline says, regarding the reunion… hope I’m wrong and I hope Andy stays neutral, fair and balanced.” – Trippin-it, September 1, 2012, Caroline’s Bravo Blog
Bravo Video: The Red Angry Bird (Everyone Speculates About “the Change” in Caroline Manzo)
The Top 10 Reasons for Caroline’s and Jacqueline’s Feud with Dina and Why They Blame Teresa and Not Themselves
- Jacqueline, holding a grudge against Dina about something, went to LynnNChicago with a story that Dina’s Project Ladybug Foundation was not legit; it caused Dina a lot of problems just as the project was getting up and running; and, to make matters worse, Caroline did not back Dina. According to an insider [detailed above]: “Project Ladybug was a charity started by ALL the Laurita sisters. When Dina went on the show [RHONJ], she took it over as if she was the founder and the blood, sweat, and tears behind it. She wanted the glory and the attention associated with Project Ladybug. She wanted to look like the hero.” Caroline and their other sister, Cookie Laurita, allowed Dina to take the lead and downplayed their involvement, but Dina “only speaks of Project Ladybug as if it were her own.”
- Caroline blames Dina for her losing out on her cookbook deal, which she believes Dina helped Teresa get. Jacqueline claimed that the Manzo/Laurita clan had the idea first and Teresa stole her business ideal with the help of Dina.
- Caroline stole Jamie’s wedding from Dina as a payback for her losing the cookbook deal. Jamie’s siblings where so appalled by this that they boycotted the wedding and refused to be filmed on Bravo. Jamie has 10 brothers and sisters and only two came, the ones who star in the RHONJ, Chris and Caroline. Dina asked her brother Jamie to film his wedding on her TV show (Dina’s Party, HGTV) and Jamie agreed, ONLY to have Caroline entice Jamie to consider Bravo since it would get him more exposure and would help give Caroline a boost. (Jamie also is hoping to get his own cooking show on Bravo, maybe even with Albie and Chris Manzo.) This is why Jamie said he had to throw a wedding together in less than a month — it was last minute because Jamie changed his mind and chose Bravo, and Bravo needed to squeeze it into season 4 filming.
- Bravo only agreed to film Jamie’s wedding if Teresa was invited. In summary, the unofficial story is that Caroline stole Jamie’s wedding from Dina, who wanted to feature it on her HGTV show, Dina’s Party, which would explain why the wedding was so rushed, and why only two, Chris Laurita and Caroline Manzo, out of 11 siblings (and only their mother and not their father) attended. Teresa told Caroline during reunion 3: “You stabbed her in the back”; Jacqueline said in season 4 episode 6: “Teresa told Dina that Caroline said she’s going to try to take her down, business-opportunity-wise.” The accusation is that Caroline stole the wedding idea from Dina – Caroline knew Andy would jump on the idea and that Jamie would as well because the audience for RHONJ is much larger than Dina’s HGTV show. Featuring Jamie’s gay wedding on Dina’s struggling show, which is all about parties, would have helped put it on the map.
- According to Chris Stark: “The Brownstone is owned by Caroline’s husband and Dina’s husband (they are brothers). Yet Caroline’s sons Albie and Christopher are hawking Brownstone Sauce… is this the other business deal that has caused a rift between Dina and Caroline? The Manzo boys tried to hawk the Brownstone sauce and BLK water in season 4 (filmed in 2011) and it has been unsuccessful. They are now trying to go after Dina’s and Teresa’s fan base — the Manzos hired a PR team which told them to play nice with Dina’s and Teresa’s fans and to stop alienating them (this is why the Manzos are on the cover of Us Weekly and the video with their false stories of everyone getting along).”
- Teresa took the spotlight from Caroline and her family. It was supposed to be a show about Caroline’s family with Teresa as the spacey sidekick. Caroline is becoming unhinged/manic in her desperate attempts to make Teresa look bad and get everyone around her, as well as the viewers, to hate her as well. Teresa is the star and this kills Caroline, and this is why Caroline is filled with contempt and has such a hate smirk on her face. Punta Cana happened on February 23, 2011, near the end of season 3 filming. Teresa accidentally sprayed a women in the Hard Rock Cafe when she opened a bottle of champagne. According to reports, the woman’s son-in-law and his cousin did not take kindly to the rowdy group and physically attacked Teresa. “Joe, Albie and Chris were trying to protect Teresa and they just grabbed the guy and started fighting, and then people joined in. Bravo helped to break up the fight,” added the source. Caroline blames Teresa for her sons being detained and held in jail, and for making her kids look bad to the public. The Manzo boys were trying to get a spinoff show and Caroline believes the incident put everything to a halt. As we all know, Caroline’s boys are faultless and cannot be messed with in the way the Manzos mess with others. Caroline already disliked Teresa, but after Punta Cana, she was done with her.
- From an insider commenting at Reality Tea on September 17, 2011: “Teresa is very close with Dina. Although Teresa was always the closest with Dina, and made friends with her first, Caroline is beyond big headed. Caroline turned on Teresa because she is pissed at Dina and taking it out on Teresa. She is angry that Teresa does not jump when she speaks, like Jacqueline does. Caroline expects everyone to listen to her, and when they don’t, all hell breaks loose. This is why she likes Melissa, who only kisses Caroline’s ass to spite Teresa. The fight [on Jacqueline’s deck] occurred conveniently and scheduled right before Melissa’s single release party. On camera, Caroline and Jacqueline try to cover up the issue and act as thought they are mad at Teresa for something else, but the real issue is that Teresa is friends with Dina and Dina and Caroline are not speaking.”
- From an insider commenting at Reality Tea on September 17, 2011: “What infuriated Caroline even more, and helped lead to the blowout quicker [during season 4 episode 17 — the hot tub scene and fight between Caroline and Teresa], was the fact that Teresa listened to what Danielle had to say regarding Melissa contacting her. Teresa was already aware of Melissa reaching out to Danielle, but was in denial until the WWHL Twitter war. Caroline honestly did not want to go through sticking up for Teresa because that would mean she would simultaneously be confirming that Danielle was correct.“
- Jacqueline gave Danielle all the information about Dina’s custody battle so she could use it as ammunition against Dina. Remember during season 2 that Jacqueline said it was Dina going after Danielle, but it was really Caroline! Jacqueline stabbed Dina in the back and caused trouble with her custody battle… how’s that for a loyal sister-in-law (no wonder she defends Melissa over her long-time friend Teresa — they are two peas in a pod)? [Apparently the footage of the dinner in the season 1 finale, where Teresa flipped the table, captured a conversation between Jacqueline and Caroline about Dina. I watched it again but I can’t make out what is being said.] Another theory is that Danielle didn’t go to the producers to try to cause problems for Dina: it was Lexi’s aunt who asked Danielle about it and Danielle confirmed that both parent’s needed to give permission for Lexi to be on camera, and then Danielle gave the aunt the producer’s number, which she gave to Lexi’s father. At the reunion, Caroline was crying and saying, ‘You know what you did!”, and was pointing at Danielle. She was overly dramatic and never actually revealed what the problem was, which is her M.O. Caroline was the one who was upset when it should have been Dina, who was trying to stop them from talking about it. Caroline spun that story likes she spins everything, and both Jacqueline and Caroline were the ones stirring the pot and bringing up on camera Dina’s custody issue, which she wanted to remain private [see viewer comments from IMDb.com, which are near the end of this article].
- Caroline has NEVER supported ANYTHING that Dina has done, not her charity, or her new TV show (and her talking her brother out of featuring his wedding on Dina’s show and airing it on Bravo instead was the nail in the coffin).
Danielle even stated years ago that there were many issues and problems amongst the Manzo/Laurita clan prior to being on the show and none of them involved Teresa or anyone else. Look at the fact that Caroline has severed ties with most of her family (she didn’t even attend her nephew’s funeral). It’s been that way long before Teresa and herself had issues. One of the reasons and the major reason Dina left the show was because her family was changing due to being on TV!
‘The Fight’ Between Jacqueline and Teresa with Caroline Showing Up Later on Jacqueline’s Deck as Explained by Dina Manzo on Her Website
http://www.dinamanzo.com/press/the-truth/
Dina revealed on October 24, 2011, that she rekindled her friendship with Teresa after Teresa came crying to her following a confrontation with Caroline and Jacqueline during season 4 filming:
“It wasn’t until VERY recently that Teresa showed up at my doorstep in tears…apparently Caroline & Jacqueline had a sit down with her on camera (for season 4) and she felt attacked. All I did was console a friend who was obviously shaken. I felt bad for her..even though I had distanced myself from her a bit I was still her friend and she needed me. I did miss my God daughter and the rest of her girls and I’m not proud to say that in staying away from her I had stayed away from them too. Within a few weeks I went to Teresa’s house to spend Audriana’s 2nd birthday with Teresa and her family. No camera’s, no drama just a nice family night the way things used to be…Teresa has been nothing but supportive of Project Ladybug through the years and is extremely supportive of my new show on HGTV. She tweets about it all the time AND watches when she can as a friend should.”
Dina confirmed that she did indeed film with Teresa for the upcoming 4th season:
“Teresa and I briefly spoke about her broken relationship with her brother on camera. I gave her my best advice and told her to focus on all the good in her life and if her brother is meant to be a part of her life again he will be one day.”
When it comes to Teresa’s diss of her sister Caroline in her cookbook, Dina claims Teresa only meant it as a joke:
“She mentioned the drama with her and Caroline and I told her that if this is all about a joke in a book (and she assured me it was) that’s not enough for me to hate the mother of my God daughter and a friend of 15 years. Was it necessary to write that stuff in her book? probably not but I don’t think it was written with malice either. We are all guilty of joking a little too much now & then…”
As for her strained relationship with not only Caroline, but also Caroline’s kids, Dina stated:
“I feel bad that my relationship with my sister and her family is strained, but I can assure you that one day it will be back to the way it was. I don’t like fighting, I don’t like drama, I don’t like confrontation, I don’t agree with ganging up on someone (one of the other reasons why I left season 2) and I don’t need to share anymore than that. I am not on this show anymore, I didn’t sign on for opening up every aspect of my life to the world for the rest of my life when I signed that Bravo contract.”
“The Manzo family crest is a jackass riding a high horse.”
It is not a coincidence that Melissa’s sister Kim Pirrella and Queenzofmedia are both tweeting about Dina Manzo. Melissa and her sisters are their inside sources, but we know they all lie, so don’t believe any of their stories. RHONJ has turned dark, mean and ugly since Melissa joined: dark, mean and ugly describe the Marco sisters perfectly.
Kim Pirrella tweeted during episode 17 (August 27, 2012), which previewed Dina’s appearance during season 4 episode 18. She seems to be jealous of Dina, probably because she and her sister Lysa want to be cast on RHONJ or get their own show featuring the three Marco sisters.

QueenzOfMedia Breaking #RHONJ News.. #Sourced … Leaked Reunion Topic discussion involving @dinamanzo & @Teresa_Giudice I have just received some very upsetting information from my source…& it has been confirmed by other sources …. Last year… during filming… after Jacqueline’s infant son, Nick, was diagnosed with autism, Teresa had a conversation with Jacqueline. Teresa reportedly told Jac that Dina said “Nick’s autism was karma for Jacqueline.” …(pick your jaws up off the floor, i know mine is still there.) This issue is such a big deal it will be brought up at the reunion by Andy Cohen… Now the question is…did Dina actually say this? Or did Teresa make it up? …not so zen is it? 11:38 PM Aug 29th
More nasty tweets by QueensOfMedia here.
Queenzofmedia are misinformation specialists. In other words, it’s all lies. So don’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. Not only does QueenzOfMedia have ties to the Marcos, they hate the Giudices, and they have a bone to pick with Penny Drossos and Johnny Karagiorgis. So QueenzOfMedia will say anything to bring down the Giudices as well as Penny and Johnny.
The cast is baiting Teresa with their blogs. She took the bait after season 4 episode 17 and attacked back in her blog, but now she needs to keep her cool. She should do what she did with The View and refuse to tape the reunion with them — they haven’t talked to her in a year, so she should continue to steer clear of them. She needs a separate segment or do what Jac did and don’t show up for the reunion. Let them sit around and talk about how wonderful they are and how terrible she is. She cannot defend herself against a pack of liars.
She forgave them for their indiscretions but they refuse to forgive her. When they can’t find a reason to hate her, they make up lies. They project their flaws onto her. Everything they accuse her of doing is what they are guilty of doing to her.
Here’s Caroline’s latest rant about Teresa:
“I had to get involved, because [Teresa] looked directly at me and asked me a question. And I had no intention of saying a word, not a word, because I was exhausted. You can see in my face that I just wanted the trip to end. I was exhausted from it. And I was asked a direct question. And if you’re going to be so brave as to ask me a direct question and knowing what the answer is going to be, I’m going to give it to you. And that’s what happened. There was nothing fun about it. I don’t relish any moment of it. I don’t look at that and say “winner” or “loser,” whatever the case may be. It was an ugly moment in my life that I want to forget. And I hope that I never have to deal with that again. It’s not fun. It’s not nice. There’s nothing to be proud of there. And the endgame was that’s the way I had to handle what was. That’s all. I have a very clear understanding of what is. There could be forgiveness if it’s asked. I’m big enough to say that I was rude and obnoxious and very hard on [Teresa], which I was. But, that’s the level she brought me to. But, you still haven’t apologized for what you’ve done to any of us, not just me, to any of us. And until there’s a real legitimate apology, I’m not interested. So, why would I go back into the lion’s den? I said what I had to say. I was very blunt and very matter of fact in what I had to say. I don’t regret it. I regret that I had to do it, but I don’t regret those words because my conscience is clear now and I’m good. I don’t need to go back there. Why would I do that? I just don’t think she treated her family and friends with any kind of dignity or respect. And I think that’s sad, because everybody was there for her. – Caroline Manzo, August 27, 2012, Celebuzz
Teresa, Caroline doesn’t have a dog in this race so she has nothing to lose by going after you. They aren’t her family members. She doesn’t care about them or you. Don’t take the bait. Bravo wants her to get a rise out of you like Danielle did in season 2 with Melissa’s help. Your cousin and SIL are out for your blood. It’s in the footage and in their blogs. That’s all the evidence you need. Don’t react, don’t attack back… be the bigger person. You can’t argue with liars…they just cover one lie with another and another until you begin to question your own memory and then your own sanity…you can never resolve an issue with a liar. The best thing for you to do is ignore them and not respond to their lies… if you constantly defend yourself against their false accusations, you eventually will become consistently shrill and defensive.
Teresa, they truly want to hurt you. They want the show for themselves and their families and friends. They want you gone. They want to turn the viewers against you. Most importantly, they want Bravo to be against you. You are better off without Bravo. Get through season 5 being as fake as the rest of them. Then move on to another network, and make sure your contract gives you executive producer privileges. Protect your marriage, children and parents from any further humiliation.
Teresa, Melissa admitted to contacting Danielle to give her dirt on you because she hated you — she never stopped hating you — every episode is just an act. And when she tells the camera that she is doing everything possible to bring you and Joey together, we all know she is full of it… I’m amazed she has any fans at all. Of course she is the reason for the rift in your family. She and her sisters do not want you to have a relationship with your brother. And as long as he is married to her, you won’t… and there is nothing you can do about that, so let it go, no matter how much it hurts.
Teresa, no good will come from you telling Caroline how you feel about her. Jacqueline is a member of her family so she has to show her loyalty to Caroline, no matter how horrendous her behavior is. Your family doesn’t show you that kind of loyalty. Caroline is trying to destroy your relationships with your family the way she believes you destroyed her relationship with Dina. But we all know she did that on her own.
Teresa, everything Caroline accuses you of doing, she is guilty of doing — projecting her own flaws onto you and ‘blame shifting’ as Jacqueline likes to call it. She blames you for her hatred and says you brought her to this level — she can’t even own her anger — it’s always your fault. You will never win with these people. And she has her army of idiots — her spouse and offspring, and Jacqueline, Kathy and Melissa and their spouses and sisters — to back her up (they failed to back her up during the hot tub scene, but they learned their lesson and won’t let that happen again). Don’t go up against that army. They are merciless. They are liars. They are despicable. They are ruthless people. She is putting wood on the fire, not you. She is out to destroy you just like she said Albert would destroy your husband. Stay away from them for the sake of your children, your husband and your parents.
In the next episode (episode 18), Caroline says this about Teresa:
“I think Teresa has an agenda to drive a wedge against myself and family members.”
Yet it is obvious to anyone without prejudice toward Teresa that this is what Caroline is doing to her!
Here is what Caroline said about Teresa’s relationship with Dina in her October 21, 2011 Bravo blog:
“Teresa claims that the biggest hurt of all is watching her parents deal with the pain of their children fighting while the nation watches. So my question is this — Teresa knew how important it was to me to keep the Dina issue hidden, but tried numerous times throughout the season and through her blogs and interviews to reveal it. She finally had her moment at the reunion. Did she think I would deny it? Congratulations, Teresa, the only thing you succeeded in doing was hurting my parents. What a fool I’ve been in my efforts to bring your family together when it was your intent to destroy mine from the start. Shame on you. I’ve been asked by numerous publications to tell my story regarding Teresa and Dina and have denied them all, because I refuse to glorify an already sad situation. Teresa may think she hurt me, but what she doesn’t understand is that she can never hurt me, because I take into account where it’s coming from. Unlike you, Teresa, I can look in the mirror and hold my head high knowing that I have always given the best of myself to my family and friends. I live my life with integrity and self-respect.”
Teresa, heed the warning of a great man of God, Charles Haddon Spurgeon: Expect trouble, for foes are everywhere, but do not enter the thicket with the lion, for he that meets with him, even though he wins the day, will find it a stern struggle.
Cara on May 28, 2012 at 12:43 pm said on AllAboutTRH.com:
Granted, this is all just speculation so discussing who should be off the show is kind of pointless. However, I think if we look at past behavior and things that cast members have said themselves, that should dictate how they should be reacting to what is going on now and that should give us an indication of who should WANT to be off the show. Dina is a perfect example.
Dina said from the very beginning that she has “no patience for drama”. And she cut it right out. She stood by her word and by the middle of season two was so fed up with the BS from Danielle and the effect it was having on her life that she left the show.
Dina’s actions actually matched her words. She has integrity and that says a lot about the strength of her character. In other words, she doesn’t talk shit. When she says something, she MEANS it. And as Dina illustrated, if you are going to complain about drama in your life, you DO have a choice in cutting it out.
Then look at Caroline. She in on this show with Teresa who she now can’t stand. She claims that Teresa is the source of drama and nonsense in her life. She also claims that “Life’s too short. I have no time for drama” (her new tagline this season). Well, she DOES have a choice in the matter. The first choice would be to stop involving herself in someone else’s family conflict. She doesn’t have to constantly be sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. Her second choice would be to get herself OFF the show if it bothers her so much.
In this case, Caroline’s words do NOT match her actions. She puts herself right in the thick of the drama despite claiming that she has no time or tolerance for it. To me, that says she has no integrity. And really, if she 
had no “time” for drama that would mean she is too busy for it and wouldn’t even grant an audience. But she seeks it out because she has nothing else going on! She wouldn’t go around asking Melissa and Jacqueline questions about the Teresa/Joey situation if she truly had “no time” for drama. Obviously she has the time to pencil the drama in.
Also, look at the relationships here. Caroline sees nothing odd about the fact that there was no drama with Teresa until Melissa entered the picture? She knew Teresa for fifteen years prior to that. She is just now seeing all these problems with Teresa after fifteen years of NEVER having a problem with her? Something is wrong there. Maybe she should be looking at Melissa.
And then look at Teresa and Dina’s relationship. It is totally unscathed. What is missing? Melissa. And doesn’t it say a lot that Dina – who is allergic to drama – has had no involvement in this Teresa/Joey situation, but she is still friends with Teresa and not talking to CAROLINE and JACQUELINE? She severed her Bravo contract because she didn’t want to deal with the BS anymore; and out of everyone in the cast, the one person that she has kept in her life is Teresa. She has cut out two of her own family members but remained friends with Teresa. But Caroline wants us to think Teresa is the PROBLEM?
All of these things are indicators that a storm started brewing the moment Melissa and Joey came onto this show. Caroline must really think Bravo viewers are idiots to not remember all of these things. And seriously, if she hates Teresa that much that it’s creating so much negativity in her life….go off into the Franklin Lakes sunset and life your life, Caroline. If positive things are in store for you, let them happen. Just like your sister did.
lollybomb on May 24, 2012 at IMDb.com:
This is reaching far into my memory bank (this was all over the web after Dina left that there was a falling out between them), but yeah it was the whole Caroline trying to make it seem like Dina could lose Lexi over something Danielle did but it was really losing the right to film with Lexi not a custody thing. Dina not only wanted to keep this on the down low but it was exaggerated by Caro. If you watch the reunion when it is brought up, Dina’s face says it all.
The other thing I heard at the time is that Dina did not care for Caroline’s I-hate-everyone-but-family attitude. It’s my own personal opinion that Dina has cut ties with the Manzos so that they could no longer put her private stuff out there for the world to see… if you remember, Dina’s hubby is real private too [he turned into a “private guy” and didn’t want to be filmed after he was mortified over ‘editing’ in his and Dina’s VH1 wedding special]– unlike Albert, he refused to be on camera.
parkguy505 on May 25, 2012 at IMDb.com:
Jacqueline was the one who got in the heated exchange with Danielle at the season 2 reunion about Dina, not Caroline. Caroline tried to stop the conversation, but Jacqueline had already let the cat out of the bag. So no, that is not the reason Dina isnt speaking to Caroline.
parkguy505 on May 25, 2012 at IMDb.com:
Lolly, all your info is incorrect. Jacqueline is the one who brought up the Danielle/Dina/custody issue, not Caroline. Caroline tried to stop the conversation.
And yes, Danielle DID try to get Dina in trouble with her ex over the Bravo contracts and Lexie.
And NO, Dina’s husband isn’t super private, because before this show ever aired Dina and her husband were on one of those “My big giant rich Wedding” shows. I think after the bad publicity he got after that, he decided another reality show was not for him.
parkguy505 on May 25, 2012 at IMDb.com:
Lolly, you are right about Caroline crying and making a scene at the season 1 reunion! I thought you meant at the season 2 reunion when Jacqueline actually revealed what the issue was.
sonomagirl2120 on May 24, 2012 at IMDb.com:
This is what I read on the internet so I am not sure how true it is…..Dina left the show in mid season and asked Caroline not to speak of Dina’s daughter on the reunion. Caroline and Danielle got into a heated discussion during the reunion and Caroline said it was Danielle’s fault that Dina almost lost custody of her child. Dina did not appreciate the comments and felt her sister was exaggerating and exacerbating a delicate family matter. Dina had Lexie on the show in Season 1 but Lexie’s father did not want the girl filmed so she was not featured in Season 2. Dina and her ex are most likely walking on eggshells trying to maintain a civil relationship in the best interest of their daughter so Caroline’s public accusations did not help a sensitive situation. Not sure how true this all is….
Lazaka on May 25, 2012 at IMDb.com:
Just to add, she also wrote (or said) either in her blog, twitter or interview, that she didn’t talk to any of the cast members for a while after she left, including Teresa; and it wasn’t because she was mad at them. Teresa called and she welcomed her with open arms because she never did anything bad to her. I’m paraphrasing there and also thinking she meant that Teresa was the only one who didn’t bring up Dina/Lexi on the reunion. She said that Teresa did tell her that she’s no longer getting along with Caroline and Jac (I believe) and she said that Teresa never did anything to come in between her and Caroline.
Just for the record OP, it was not Caroline who brought up Dina/Lexi, that was all Miss Jacqueline, when Danielle defended herself against these accusations saying “I would never do that!” (regarding having Lexi taken away) and Caroline sat there and mouthed and shook her head “oh no….” sort of like “yeah right you didn’t” then Miss Jacqueline in all her 40 years pointed at Danielle like a 5-year-old and said “yes you did, I saw the proof!” and Caroline shook her head in agreement. Dina was tweeting that night and she was pissed.
The point that everyone else is making is that we really don’t know the truth (sort of like the Giudice/Gorga and the elusive Wakile fight). Dina says there are reasons she’d rather not talk about, Jacqueline won’t speak of them, and Caroline just plain blames Teresa. Who the hell knows with these women lol. I do know that Caroline also blames Teresa for all the strain she’s having with her siblings in this upcoming episode and I’m preeeeettty sure Teresa is arrested for the shooting of Treyvon Martin. I mean she must be responsible for that too in Caroline’s mind, right?
Sigh Die on September 12, 2012 at Television Without Pity:
I don’t recall Dina ever saying anything of the sort about Danielle nearly costing her the custody of her daughter. I recall Caroline hinting at such a thing, but for some reason she always declined to explain what she meant. Her refusal to elaborate on the basis of her accusation always left me feeling like she was totally making the whole thing up or at least greatly exaggerating what happened. I remember hearing it had something to do Dina not having a proper signature from Lexie’s father for her to participate in taping, IIRC, and Danielle merely telling someone what signatures from her daughters’ father she had been required to provide. It never sounded like anything that would have really threatened Dina having custody of Lexie at all, much less an attempt by Danielle to cost Dina custody of Lexie. It all seemed very overblown by Caroline and nothing more than something she was using to justify her weird rage toward Danielle.
Here’s an excerpt from Dina’s blog (as told by E!Online):
Dina explains that once she decided to leave RHONJ, she began to distance herself from all the ladies on the show because all the drama between them became too “toxic” for her.
“I really wanted to walk away from all of the toxic behavior, I was not into ganging up on anyone and I was no longer obligated to talk about Daniele so the best thing for me to do was stay away…I guess some of the Housewives may have taken that as I think I’m better than them…that couldn’t be further from the truth.”
She then explains that through her children’s charity, Project Ladybug, she began to see that the bickering on the show seemed “so silly” and that she discovered what is really important in life—for her that no longer included reality television.
“I’m not proud of what went down season one and I entered into season two with a heavy heart, not really into it at all,” she wrote. “Once I left I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I finally felt a sense of peace.”
Dina says distancing herself from the show and cast did include not being as close as she once was to Teresa Giudice, but that the duo were still occasionally speaking. At the time she also had a falling out with her sister Caroline.
“Feelings did get hurt,” Dina said of her family battle. “I won’t get into them because I have no desire to rehash the past that can only hurt my parents whom I adore…There is no side here, this is a private matter; there are 3 sides to every story remember…it depends on who you ask.”
kzmanrules2 on May 25, 2012 at IMDb.com:
And, no it’s not Teresa’s fault, although Caroline loves blaming everyone but herself for things going wrong in her life. It was Teresa’s fault her son failed in college, it was her fault Lauren is fat. So of course she blames Teresa for her relationship with Dina failing.

Caroline DID say at the reunion she would “love” to show everyone the emails she has as “proof” that Teresa stopped her and Dina from talking. Caroline was the one who brought up the emails and her “willingness” to share them so I actually DON’T believe Caroline for one minute that these emails exist…knowing Caroline, she would be thrilled to take any opportunity to disprove Teresa or expose her as a liar…and she hasn’t (in this instance.) If she has these supposed emails and is so eager to let everyone read them, where are they?
I also find it hard to believe that Teresa would be sending emails to Dina telling her to stop talking to her own sister. This whole story has been sketchy at best, and I just don’t believe Caroline at all in this particular situation. Dina herself says Teresa is not the reason she and Caroline are on the outs…I don’t think Teresa has that much power over the two of them, especially Caroline. Personally, I don’t see one shred of evidence as to why Caroline deserves any “benefit of the doubt” when she’s the one who bragged about emails and then never produced them. Caroline gives me the impression that if Teresa ever does ANYTHING to “wrong” her (Caroline) or piss her off, we hear about it in great detail…however, this whole “Dina” rift has been kept pretty much under the rug, leading me to believe Caroline *doesn’t* want the whole truth of it exposed because it has more to do with HERSELF than it does Teresa.
Lazaka on May 29, 2012 at IMDb.com:
The way Caroline blames Teresa for her entire family feud (Caroline’s not Teresa’s) and sticks her crooked nose into Teresa’s family business but expects Teresa to not do the same is another reason people can’t stand her. She’s very much a hypocrite and people are getting tired of her “Don” ways. She also claims to hate drama but she incites it and causes it more than anyone but probably Jacqueline.

“Do you really think ALL the kids don’t know what is going on in their own family? Doesn’t Melissa talk about Teresa in the car with her kids there? Can’t Gia still love her aunt if she turns out to have been a stripper? Why do people expect Teresa to keep taking hits…MY GOD….she’s taken them all season with her mouth SHUT….and never, ever, ever reply? Or strike back? Are we really going to go down the ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’ path? Intentions matter here. Melissa’s intention to ruin Teresa’s relationships for her own fame is not quite the same as Teresa’s intention to defend herself and put someone else on the defence for a change. Can you REALLY blame her? I wouldn’t be talking to these people at all if I were her…family or not. I will be giving Teresa a free pass for whatever she says at the reunion…in fact, I’ll drive it to her house.” – Parkview, August 28, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“Tre bashing is not okay either. Sometimes you just gotta stand up for yourself, I get it. All the bashing has to stop for the family to heal. Which will probably not happen if they are on the show. As far as I’m concerned, Caro, Wacko and Co. are all fair game….bash away Tre.” – Chris, August 28, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“I would have done the same thing after continually being attacked by the others for 2 years. You can only kick someone so long before they react and defend themselves, and she did that quite well.” – mzjulesaz, August 28, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“She wasn’t innocent in the Dirty D situation. What she was saying was that Caroline & Jax drug up Danielle’s past and were all, ‘Oooh, she was a stripper’ but they don’t care about MEHO’s past and the same issues. I think what she is saying, inarticulately (which makes me think she maybe did write this latest Bravo blog), is that SHE wasn’t the one who brought up Danielle’s stuff. THEY did. Ergo, she wasn’t the one to tell Caroline the rumors about MeHO.” – Maggiemzjulesaz, August 28, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“I also loved how Teresa told IckyRichy to turn around when she was taking-off her robe to slip into the hot tub. She’s got your number Wakile. She’s known you close to twenty years, and KNOWS you’re a creep who ogles her at every chance. This could be the root of Kathy’s problem with Tre.” – Meadow (@improgressing) , August 28, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“Me thinks you have hit the ‘nail’on the head — a little misdirected anger on Kathy’s part if you ask me. Your right, she has his number and does everything the can to shoot him down but he won’t listen. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me that he hit on Teresa one time and she shot him down. That might just be the rub you are talking about. If Teresa can see through his BS, I bet Kathy can too, and she blames Teresa for it. That explains Kathy’s motivations and the allusions to the long ago split in Teresa’s & Kathy’s relationship. How can they be morally outraged with you after spending over a year spewing very nasty, petty and mean spirited blogs, twitters, and interviews against your family.” – fierysicilian1, August 28, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“Teresa, I watch the show and try to keep an open mind and you aren’t perfect but you aren’t the person they try to make you out to be either. You are right that us fans read all the blogs, etc. and can see/hear the contradictions from all of them… All of this over the magazine articles is just stupid. You have said you do the covers and get paid but have also said that you don’t have control over what is always said on the inside, as most celebs would agree with you… it’s so stupid. They all really need to move on. You touched Kathy’s chin like one touches a child’s to get their attention, when she was absorbed in her phone. And you only touched her again to explain what you were doing. It makes me sick how she made that out to be something it wasn’t. Teresa, it is obvious to me that Caroline was jealous that you were getting along with your family so she started to stir the pot. She is mean — I wrote her that holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. Melissa, Jac, and Kathy sat there while Caroline made an ass of herself and degraded Teresa on national TV. It was brutal. Shame on them for not standing up for Teresa. Caroline was wrong. They should have stopped it right then and there. But they didn’t because they were too tied into the ‘Teresa hates Melissa for no good reason’ story line, and Melissa couldn’t afford to alienate Caroline because she is with Kathy on that.” – DivaSLC77, August 28, 2012, Teresa’s Bravo Blog
“My favorite comment in Teresa’s blog was how she was going to tell Caroline off, but thought of Dina and Caro’s mom Nettie. Then she pointed out how Caroline did not show the same respect for her mother. Especially loved how she talks to her Mom in Italian and Caroline does not understand the language — proved one lie.” – ViewerLainie, August 28, 2012, Teresa’s Bravo Blog
“I just feel that, at her nastiest (chasing Danielle through the country club), Teresa was trying to get to the bottom of WHO was feeding Danielle private financial information. Not sure if Teresa knew at this point that her own family was feeding the enemy, but she certainly suspected it. She wanted a straight answer from Danielle about who was setting her up. I felt Teresa was trying to protect her private business MORE than she was trying to hurt Danielle.” – Elmozoe, August 28, 2012, Teresa’s Bravo Blog
“To defend actions in the current season by bringing up things that happened years ago when they were ALL in very different places in their lives and different people is just scratching the bottom of the barrel.” – Just me, August 28, 2012, Teresa’s Bravo Blog
Video History of RHONJ at StoopidHousewives
“I just want to see them all get called out — you know they ( Caroline, Jacqueline, Melissa Kathy) are going to go hard on Teresa, with Andy loving every damn minute if it. Of course he will gloss over every damn thing they have said and done. But at least with someone like Danielle coming on, she will be like, ‘Yeah, well Jacqueline you told me this, and Caroline what about that, and Melissa you did this and that, and Teresa, don’t play innocent you went went along with them going at me’ (which, even though I am a Teresa fan, she did).” – Lena1, September 2, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“Just highlights the fact that Melissa and Kathy ruined it for Teresa. This was Teresa’s gig: she earned her claim to fame, but until season 3 she cherished her friendship with the Manzo-Laurita family. Have a feeling that Jac and Tre will reconcile at the reunion. The only reason people are tuning in is to see someone crash and burn permanently. Kathy and Melissa have ruined the show!!!” – Lori, September 1, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“Teresa predicted that it would be ugly. RHONJ is really difficult to watch. The Wakilies are craptastic wannabes who, as Kathy said on The View, ‘ just wanted a piece of the pie’. Well Wonky eye, bake your own damn pie instead of trying to grab your cousin’s. MeHo is a prisoner of her own fantasy: she can sing about as well as I can spin gold into straw.” – Aint Pittypat, September 1, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“The Wakile’s gas stations were almost broke. Richie (so much smarter than Juicy Joe) was sued by Exxon (don’t mess with a global oil company). Kathy was cuttin’ hair. And they wanted what cousin Tre earned. Yeah – get on the show, work with DonCaro to knock Tre off. Problem with the plan? Tre has star power – she makes you laugh. Kathy-YAWN.” – Love NJt, September 2, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“My objection to Danielle season 1 was the constant sexual references and (to me) inappropriately confiding in her daughters. After 2 seasons of Joey clambering all over MeHo like a nasty monkey in heat and Richie the Creeper humping anything with a pulse, all I can say is Danielle looks like Mother Teresa in a nun’s habit . Danielle at least owned her stripper past while Jax goes into a coma at the slightest mention of the S word. If RHONJ is going to survive this debacle of a season, then the entire cast needs to come clean. I know this is childish, but I would pay to see Teresa rip Chuckie and Jax a new one over Gia.” – Aint Pittypat, September 1, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“The stupid cookbook comment maybe irritating but definitely not enough to provoke that kind of hatred. What happened on that vacay, which we’ll never really know because of the legal stuff, involved her self-professed mama’s boys. Who knows what Tre did? Who knows what Chris and Albie did? But, whatever it was, they ARE responsible for their actions. They’re 20-something men. BUT I don’t think Caroline would ever forgive Teresa or accept an apology. She seems to be too much of a hard-a&&. She’s not even talking to her own sister for Pete’s sake. What kind of adult does that? I don’t agree with a lot of stuff my brother says and does but I still talk to him!” – amyp22, September 1, 2012, Caroline’s Bravo Blog
“Bottom line, they are all desperate to show the viewers how bad she is, so are trying to focus on anything they can dig up. The tabloids are a joke, because anything in them that is bad, were direct quotes from the other ladies. Caroline is spoiled, we clearly saw how nasty she got when it was looking like she was going to lose control of Jaq. When Teresa became the breakout star, and Caroline couldn’t control her, she decided she would control the viewers instead, by trying to get everyone to hate Teresa and quit buying her products. That way the Manzos would be # 1 again. Caroline sees Teresa as a competitor who must be eliminated. Caroline feels she must be the winner, and she will knock down anyone who gets in her way!” – valgal62, September 1, 2012, Caroline’s Bravo Blog
“Caroline, you confuse me. You have a great relationship with Al and your kids…the kind of family most people would love to be a part of. Why don’t you back off and let Teresa have that with her family? If you truly believed that Teresa, Melissa, Joe and Kathy should make peace and be a family, then you should have let them. Instead, you were the one fueling the flames every chance you got. The real ugly is what hides behind your smile. It’s in your eyes; you can’t miss it. You are passing it on to your daughter: if you’re not careful she will be a lonely, angry young woman, and you will be the blame. Problem is, you won’t see it. Somehow it will be someone else’s fault! I only hope that if Lauren is blessed with a daughter she is more emotionally supportive of her than you are. You support her with money, business, surgery…but where is the emotional support? You give more of that to Melissa and Kathy!!” – bellasmommy98, September 2, 2012, Caroline’s Bravo Blog
“So Teresa says that Dina stopped talking to her when she left the show. And she says that when Dina had her fight with Caroline she didnt talk to T for awhile. So it sounds to me, if Teresa meant to word everything the way she did, that Dinas leaving the show happened at the same time as her fight with Caroline. So it would seem to me that Caroline had something to do with Dinas decision to leave the show…maybe the whole reason she left. IMO this supports the theory that Dina and Carolines fight had everything to do with the show….maybe a business deal gone wrong. Or maybe that whole stupid twitter project ladybug war between the two.” – Parkview, September 10, 2012, StoopidHousewives

Melissa Gorga Buys Facebook Fans and Twitter Followers; Melissa’s Facade Slips in Her Season 4 Episode 17 Bravo Blog and You See Her for Who She Really Is (Updated 8/30/12)
August 28, 2012 85 Comments
“Something definitely fishy is going on concerning her FB fanpage because she suddenly appeared as my latest “like” & I have never even visited the page. I ended up reporting the page because it’s really trashy & beyond tacky to have some sort of “system” randomly capture “likes” for your fanpage.” – MrIncredible, August 31, 2012, The Fame-Whorgas
Melissa Gorga’s Facebook Fans:
~50,000 10-30-11 (after season 3 ended)
~85,000 4-30-12 (before season 4 premiered)
120,000 8-25-12 (steady increase of about 2,000 per week during season 4 airing)
198,000 8-27-12 9:30 PM EST (sudden burst of new fans compared to 2-3 days before)
206,000 8-27-12 11 PM EST (+8,000 in less than two hours)
212,596 8-27-12 11:30 PM EST (+6,500 in 30 minutes)
215,766 8-28-12 12:20 AM EST (+5,000 in less than an hour)
221,330 8-28-12 1:15 AM EST (+5,500 in an hour)
226,883 8-28-12 2:00 AM EST (+5,500 in 45 minutes)
229,886 8-28-12 2:34 AM EST (+3,000 in 30 minutes)
256,407 8-28-12 1:51 PM EST (+26,500 in 11 hours, about 2,400 per hour)
And still counting.
Over the past 9 months, Melissa’s Facebook fans have increased steadily by about 2,000 per week, so a sudden jump in one day of 130,000+ (and still counting) is very, very suspicious. The only explanation would be that she is buying fans and her fan adder program went amok. More fans were added in one day than were added over the past two years. Since 8-27-12, her page has not been loading properly because all these new ‘likes’ are being added (and no one is ‘talking about this’ while it’s happening), so something is definitely up (a program must be adding them and hanging up her page so that no one can be shown ‘talking about this’ until the program stops or there is a lull).

She (and her husband) also bought Twitter followers (see chart here). Joe Gorga steadily gained exactly 101 followers a day through Feb., then it dropped to exactly 50 followers a day until April, then he gained exactly 261 followers a day for a few weeks.
Kathy Wakile buys them too. Kathy Wakile gained exactly 855 new Twitter followers a day in Feb. and March, then dropped to exactly 183 Twitter followers a day in April (in other words, she was doing WAY better before the new season of the Real Housewives of NJ started!) Someone also mentioned to me on Twitter that Kathy’s Red Velvet Cosmo account had 300 followers then randomly gained 17,000 followers, then dropped to 13,000 followers (large drops in followers appear to be common when you buy followers, Twitter must “purge” obvious “bots.”)
Melissa took the photo above when she, Joe and their kids celebrated his birthday with his parents on August 22, 2012 (there is a photo below of her from the same party). Obviously, she and Joe and their kids spend time with Joe’s parents as evidenced by the photos taken just five days before she wrote her scathing blog about Teresa (Melissa is the sister-in-law and daughter-in-law from hell that Caroline Manzo deserves, not Teresa and her parents). In Melissa’s August 27, 2012, Bravo blog she said:
“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?”
“I suggest Tree speak to MeGo in Italian at reunion and then ask Don what she just said… when she can’t say, say: ‘So when was this phone conversation with my off the boat momma that you overheard me calling her a stripper? Please tell me the words I used to villainize my brother to my momma? And just because you can be swayed by your children to think one kid is an a-hole over another don’t mean my momma rolls that way, so kindly keep that trash to yourself and your family and don’t for one minute suggest that momma’s parenting skills are anything CLOSE to yours’.” – madepiley, August 28, 2012, StoopidHousewives
“My question is: when was the last time Caroline was in a car with Teresa? It’s been obvious for sometime now that Caroline does not like Teresa, so why would she put herself in a car with her? IF Teresa did say nasty things about you, it was how long ago. It looked as if you and Teresa had kind of put the past behind you. Please don’t drag it back out again. Especially because of something Caroline says. It’s obvious that she is miserable.” – DebbieD37, August 29, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
In Melissa’s season 4 episode 17 Bravo blog, ‘Character Assassination’, she defends Caroline’s verbal assault on Teresa and accepts whatever Caroline claims to be the truth about Teresa. She has finally returned to the real Melissa from her very first Bravo blog, where she showed her true colors. On August 26, 2012, Melissa also tweeted the following regarding what Caroline claims Teresa said about her:
“Not gonna lie. Hate knowing she said those things about me. All which are false.”

Buying Their Way to Twitter Fame (Excerpt Below):
That friend who brags about having 1,000, even 100,000 Twitter followers may not have earned them through hard work and social networking; he may have simply bought them on the black market. And it’s not just ego-driven blogger types. Celebrities, politicians, start-ups, aspiring rock stars, reality show hopefuls — anyone who might benefit from having a larger social media footprint — are known to have bought large blocks of Twitter followers. The practice is surprisingly easy. A Google search for “buy Twitter followers”turns up dozens of Web sites.
“And it’s so cheap, too”… 250,000 for $2,500, or a penny each. One site, Fiverr, an online classified for cheap marketing services, has several ads offering 1,000 Twitter followers for $5.
Having fake followers, it is important to note, does not necessarily mean that they were purchased. Unlike Facebook friends, Twitter does not require users to approve followers. In other words, anyone can follow you on Twitter, whether it’s your mother or a spammer.
Twitter followers are sold in two ways: “Targeted” followers, as they are known in the industry, are harvested using software that seeks out Twitter users with similar interests and follows them, betting that many will return the favor. “Generated” followers are from Twitter accounts that are either inactive or created by spamming computers — often referred to as “bots.”
Buyers and sellers see nothing wrong with it. “Buying followers generated by bots is against Twitter’s terms and frowned upon by the public,” Mr. Mitchell said. “However, it is perfectly legal.”
The practice has become so widespread that StatusPeople, a social media management company in London, released a Web tool last month called the Fake Follower Check that it says can ascertain how many fake followers you and your friends have.
