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.

Joe Gorga Orders Teresa Giudice to Read Out Loud Her Book Inscription to Him
The following is an excerpt from Melissa’s very first Bravo blog:
“Some of you may be very confused right now. You may be thinking, ‘Teresa has a brother?’ Before all the press, you probably didn’t know we existed, did you? Well here we 
are! I know the episode is a bit confusing at first. You’re probably wondering why Joe acted the way he did when his sister came up to him. It’s understandable so let me explain. Teresa has kept my husband, Joe, and his family (me and my three children) away from everything she has been going through and everything that has been so exciting in her life for the last three years. Although this all started before the show even existed. You will get a lot of the back-story as the season goes on, so I’m not going to go too far back. I would be writing for days! She has never been happy for her brother or cared about anything good going on in his life or his children’s. She only wants to discuss her life and only cares about herself. She kept us as far away during Season 1 and Season 2, because I think she knew this would happen when they found us. Karma is a bitch. Family comes first for me, but unfortunately it does not for her, and it never will. It’s just not who she is, and that’s OK, but don’t think we are going to go on national TV and be fake with you. We are not fakers, sorry.”
“This blog speaks volumes as to what her intent was for joining the show. Her first few blogs on Bravo were very snarky, until the backlash, and then she tried to sweeten them up a bit. I think she is very manipulative and conniving. Teresa is entitled to her own opinion and has every right to be upset at Mel & Kathy for doing what they did to her. My question is, if Mel wasn’t copying Teresa and had problems prior to joining the show, why try to insert herself in Teresa’s life so deeply? Befriend her friends, hire her stylist, makeup artist, photographer, etc?” [Mima, June 1, 2012, Reality Tea]
Melissa as the ‘Secret Source’ to Wetpaint and Reality Tea
In the following quotes from a Reality Tea article, ‘secret source’ has been replaced with the actual source, Melissa:
Melissa tells us that Teresa continues her attempt to push Gia into the spotlight. “Teresa has always been desperate to have Gia in the limelight,” Melissa tells Reality Tea. “She wanted her to model, that didn’t work out. She wanted her to sing, that didn’t work out. Now, she has Gia in a ‘dance’ group.” Melissa continues that guests were shocked at Gia’s dance outfit. “Guests at her daughter’s birthday party were disturbed by the outfits Gia wore. She is just a little girl. Teresa dresses her like she is 16. People were shocked,” says Melissa. Melissa tells Wetpaint the drama began when Teresa would not even allow Melissa to be photographed. Indeed, Melissa says she was not pictured in any of the professional photos taken at the party. “When a photographer went over to ask Teresa if he could take a picture of Melissa, Teresa said ‘no,’ ” says Melissa. Despite getting the cold shoulder from Tre, Melissa reveals that she still tried to have a good time at the party, spending most of the night with her mother-in-law. “She said ‘hello’ to Joe Giudice. He was nice, and Melissa was nice right back to him. Milania and Antonia [one of Melissa’s kids] were hugging and dancing the whole time.” Melissa reports that Teresa looked annoyed watching her and decided to approach her while others were getting ready to leave. “Teresa started to get loud, and Melissa says she was struggling to keep the scene low-key, because her youngest son, Joey, was in her arms.”
You can’t argue with a liar… 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 to do is ignore them and not respond to her lies… if you constantly defend yourself against her false accusations, you eventually will become consistently shrill and defensive.
Bravo Created This Mess By Casting Joe and Melissa Gorga
Everything worked into this colossal mess because Melissa was Teresa’s very own, in-house stalker, who was jealous she had the show and came in for blood. [DawnBabyDoc, May 2, 2012, Teresa’s Bravo Blog]
These housewives are so upset over everything Teresa. Teresa is fake because she isn’t letting her financial problems get her down. Teresa let fame go to her head because she didn’t want to film with her wench-in-law, especially when the wench was in cahoots with Danielle and already writing nasty stuff about Teresa on her Facebook. Why would Teresa want the wench-in-law on her show? Nobody would be excited over a family member coming on your show who is very intent on bringing you down? Damn right I would tell Caroline and Jacqueline not to film with the wench. Now, look what happened…I guess Teresa was right all along! [Notafanofyou, April 20, 2012, Reality Tea]
There is no way I could have gone through a bankruptcy, lawsuits, threats of jail for my husband, cheating spouse rumors, my brother who I was so close to all my life calling me garbage, my friends trashing me behind my back, my sister in law telling my enemies (including someone suing my husband) information that could legal harm my family, rumors about myself and my husband and come out as strong as Teresa. [old NJ girl, April 30, 2012, AllAboutTRH.com]
Melissa’s desire for fame started way before Bravo ever came to NJ. She was interested in the HW shows all the way back to the original OC. When Teresa was cast in the NJ series, let me tell you that the explosion should have been heard around the world. From that day, even before filming began, Melissa & Joe did all they could to tell everyone that Bravo chose the wrong NJ HW. I couldn’t believe the things they said about her. How could a brother stoop so low. They are broke. The house was built as a ‘spec’ house & was NOT their real home. As soon as their campaign to get Mel on the show worked, they moved to the spec house & conveniently never told the bank. I tried to tell people not to trust Melissa, but everyone has to find out for themselves I guess. [Regan, May 6, 2012, RealityTea.com]
Teresa HAD to know a lot of this [rumors about Melissa’s infidelity], plus much more dirt on the two of them, and she kept her mouth SHUT, even when they were doing everything in their power to “take her down”, embarrass her, deride her. Can you imagine the astounding self control it took for Teresa to not say anything and just absorb all their BS? Whoever says Teresa lacks self control doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Although, maybe it didn’t take an inhuman show of strength for her; maybe she, unlike her scuzzy brother, just couldn’t tear down a family member. Maybe she’s just not that kind of person. [JoJoLaMa, May 11, 2012, AllAboutTRH.com]
Teresa, your brother is a camera hog–at any cost. I used to think it was Melissa alone who was the driving force behind all of this BS, but your brother has his eye on your star as well. Maybe this family isn’t worth the pain it’s causing. Kathy uses Rosie to do her dirty work now, and Melissa lets Joe keep the fighting going while standing back pretending to be innocent. Fans only needs to watch the first episode of season 3 to know what this family of fame seekers is all about. [Eva18, May 31, 2012, Teresa’s Bravo Blog]
Teresa’s people made this official statement on June 8, 2012 (after Teresa, Melissa and Kathy appeared on ‘The View’:
“To be clear, Teresa Giudice was never informed at any time by her sister-in-law, cousin or brother that they were taking meetings to join the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey until after they signed their deals. In fact, Teresa’s family members went through the quite lengthy process of joining the cast which included meeting with the producers, network and negotiating their contracts, all without Teresa’s knowledge. Teresa finally received a phone call from her family after all of their contracts were finalized a mere two days before filming was set to commence with the surprising news that they joined the cast.”
Rebecca says on June 8, 2012 at 8:45 pm on AllAboutTRH.com:
Yes, Melissa may have told Teresa two days after contracts were signed (and 2 days before filming), as to cover herself, but she clearly NEVER MENTIONED an interested in jointing the show or the fact that she must have sent an audition of some sort or that she must have contacted or been contacted by producers. She could have easily called Teresa after the first interaction and said “Hey, I’ve been approached to do the show too, just wanted to let you know that I’m interested” but she didn’t probably because her agenda was to take down Teresa and producers didn’t want to miss any of the confrontations that were going to happen so Melissa waited to tell Teresa until filming was about to start. It is actually disgusting to think Melissa and Joe were willing to take down their family for 15 minutes and a terrible song.
sherry says on June 8, 2012 at 8:47 pm on AllAboutTRH.com:
As for Melissa’s ” I got called on Friday and I told her that Sunday”, isn’t that different from the previous line of “I thought she KNEW. I thought Bravo producers would have told her! We weren’t talking at the time so I didn’t have any chance to tell her…..” I mean she used that line all last season. Sounds like what she really needs to do is sit down in front of her own videotapes and take notes so that she can keep her stories straight.
Valerie says on June 8, 2012 at 8:57 pm on AllAboutTRH.com:
Melissa has said that it took them MONTHS to sign the contract and she left it up Joe. She contradicted herself on the The View saying how she got a call on a Friday and talked to Teresa on a Sunday. So she knew for months??
Melissa admitted that she and Teresa were not on speaking terms before she was cast on RHoNJ. On April 12, 2012, she told Reality Tea:
“Teresa and I were not speaking before the show. Do you think that would have happened at the christening if we were a happy family?”
On May 6, 2012, on WWHL, Melissa said the relationship between her and Teresa was good in the beginning but hasn’t been in years. She also said that, if anything, the relationship between the two of them before she was cast on the show was worse than than it is now.
This would explain why Teresa was against her joining the show. They were feuding, but not as bad as they are now. They spent holidays and special occasions together, but nothing more. Now because of their intrusion on the show, they don’t even speak!
For Melissa to sit on Andy Cohen’s show and say that the situation isn’t any worse since filming cannot possibly be true. And, if it is true, then, obviously, both she and Joe knew full well that the situation could deteriorate even more once they joined the show. So, they made that choice to benefit themselves and didn’t care at all how it would affect Teresa and her family.
Melissa should ask herself this question:
How would she feel if Teresa had campaigned behind her back to be cast on a show, which she helped make popular, by promising Bravo she would destroy her b rother Joe and his wife Melissa, with total disregard for the Marco family. And then once on, continue to lie over and over again about the Gorgas.
Because that’s what the Gorgas did to the Giudices.
The fourth season of RHONJ premieres April 22, 2012. Given the fact that season 4 was filmed while season 3 was airing, things may seem a bit confusing (season 3 premiered on May 16, 2011; filming for season 4 began almost immediately after the season 3 premiere).
| Season | Episodes | Season Premiere | Season Finale | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | May 12, 2009 | July 9, 2009 | |
| 2 | 18 | May 3, 2010 | September 6, 2010 | |
| 3 | 21 | May 16, 2011 | October 23, 2011 | |
| 4 | TBA | April 22, 2012 | TBA | |
An insider who commented at Reality Tea in September 2011 said:
“Now onto why Bravo started filming Season 4 in May. They KNEW the premiere would garner huge ratings. They thought the new cast combination of only family-family-family would be hot. They started filming in May and will continue to film until early October.”
Most likely the same insider commented at Reality Tea in August 2011, warning us that Teresa would be made the villain in season 4.
“Season 4 will be a continuation of season 3. Caroline and Jacqueline will believe all of Melissa’s lies in season four.”
According to the insider, Melissa schemed her way onto the RHONJ by promising the producers that she would ‘expose’ and ‘destroy’ Teresa.
“In season 4, you will see Don C [Caroline] and Jac turning on Tre. Jac is puppeted by Don C. Don C is mad that Tre is very close with Dina. Although Tre was always the closest with Dina, and made friends with her first, Don C is beyond big headed. The fight [the one which led Tre to seek Dina’s advice and which is captured on film in season 4] takes place, conveniently and scheduled, right before Melissa’s single release party…On camera, Don C and Jac try to cover up the issue and act as thought they are mad at Tre for something else, but the real issue is the aforementioned…What infuriated Don even more, and helped lead to the blowout quicker, was the fact that Tre listened to what Danielle had to say regarding Melissa contacting her. Tre was already aware of Missy reaching out to Danielle, but was in denial until the WWHL Twitter War. Don C honestly did not want to go through sticking up for Tre because that means she would simultaneously be confirming that Danielle was correct.”
Fortunately for the viewers, six months will have transpired between the wrapping of season 4 and the season 4 premiere…plenty of time for the truth to make its way to the internet. It’s time to expose Bravo for how they manipulate the show for dramatic purposes, with total disregard for the truth and relationships.
The season 4 trailer for RHONJ (video below) is proof positive that Bravo created the mess that is RHONJ. Had they refused to cast Joe and Melissa Gorga, none of this would be happening. https://web.archive.org/web/20120826031229if_/http://www.youtube.com/embed/GEnpUaCPdcM?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent
Exit4 says on May 7, 2012 at 11:03 am at LynnNChicago:
Just for reference, I used to post here last year as LOLing, but I changed my handle to Exit4. It’s a Jersey thing! Just didn’t want anyone to think I’m a troll. 
I have been keeping up with the blog and the shows, but haven’t really watched the other cities, the schtick is getting old. Jersey though, I study like I’m going to be tested…for now. LOL.
Anyway, there is a big gaping hole in this whole “commentgate” storyline. Lynn hasn’t mentioned it in her blog, but there are a couple others that have talked about this extensively. I won’t say which ones simply b/c I am going to assume most of the people who read here, read elsewhere and know exactly what I am referring to. Anyway, later this season we will see a lady named Penny and her husband Johnny “The Greek”. They play a role in the whole “strippergate” fiasco.
Penny and The Greek are obviously gunning for 2 things. Melissa and a spot on the show. Without getting into too much detail, they pretty much go back into Melissa’s past and the type of guys she used to chase/date/hook up with and so forth. Apparently, they ran in the same circles back in the day. A major theme with them is that Mel is/was a golddigger. Now, I’m no Melissa fan, but I say, so what? So what if she was gunning for a guy with money? She wouldn’t be the first and she won’t be the last. So what if she chased/dated/hooked up alot in her 20′s? Who didn’t? God knows I wouldn’t want some of the winners I “partied” with back in the day to come out of the woodwork! Bottom line is, she married Joe Gorga, had 3 kids with him and is still with him now. If she married him for money-guess what? She still has to live with him and is tied, for better or for worse, to him and his family forever, b/c of their kids. IF (and I emphasize IF) she married him for money, not love, let her (and Joey) be content with that, it’s their life!
Back to Penny and Johnny, we know that season 3 was airing while season 4 was filming. P and J didn’t appear with their stories until Melissa was on the show. So, in my opinion, this is the “hole” in the storyline. I think Teresa was telling her brother all of the things Penny and Johnny were spreading around. Including the golddigger allegations (which confirmed in Teresa’s mind, something she already believed). I think that there were people (Penny et al) saying that Melissa would leave Joe for a better (read: richer) guy, based on her actions in the past. Not a fair allegation, but whatever, people have been saying that on the blogs from day 1. It’s just talk. I think it’s a good guess that she was giving Lil Joey fair warning: “you got on the show, now the leeches come out of the woodwork”. So, of course, Joey goes and tells the wife everything and well, we know what happens. It seems that the gossip aligns with the filming timeline, but of course, not the airing timeline. This is why she keeps saying “I heard rumors”, because she did. Rumors being spread by Penny and Johnny. It makes sense when you know that backstory.
One thing I caught last night, that wasn’t mentioned here, maybe someone else caught it, was that Melissa said to Teresa during the fight that Joey came home so upset he was crying when he told Mel about the leaving him for a rich guy comment. BUT, we saw on camera that he nonchalantly brought it up in the closet. So, which one is it?
As far as Melissa and Teresa go, Teresa will never win a verbal argument with anyone. My 13 year old diabetic cat could beat her in a debate. She is horribly inarticulate. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a point, she just can’t get it across. Teresa and Melissa don’t get along and they never will. If they live to 80, they will still be going at each other, t!t for tat, over who copied who’s leopard print Depends. They are one upmanship people, who actually do care about the shallow things in life like gifts, when one visited the other in the hospital, cookies, re-done houses and on and on and on…it’s exausting and they will never change. I guess the big picture is that they want “respect” from each other, but I don’t think either one of them does much to earn it. But then again, I don’t think this whole dynamic they have going on is really driven by either one of them. I think Joey Gorga is driving that train.
My beef (and a lot of othr peoples) with Melissa from the beginning is that regardless of the excuses she makes and the reasons she gives…she joined the show with the full knowledge that it would put their family problems on TV for the world to see. She knew attacking her sister in law was part of the deal and she went with it. Is a show like this hard to turn down? The money and opportunities? Absolutely! But, is it worth damaging maybe without repair an already damaged family? I guess for the Gorgas it was, which tells me that the damage was probably irrepairable when they came on, so why pass up the show? It’s easy to make Melissa the bad guy in all of this, but the more I see, the more I think Joey is the villian (for lack of a better word).
If it was just Melissa on screen, doing what she does, then yes, I’d say she is to blame, but she’s not. Her husband, Mr. Poison himself, has just as much screen time, just as many talking heads and just as big of a role (if not, some may argue, bigger) in the show as his wife. He is at every appearance, every WWHL . I’m starting to wonder if Melissa can poop on her gold plated toilet without Joey sitting in the bathroom, making sure it all comes out okay and ready to blame Teresa if she’s irregular.
No one knows Teresa better than her brother. He knows what drives her, what buttons to push and pretty much how to hurt her, if he wants to. He is the only one besides Teresa who is really aware of the Gorga family dynamic (we can only speculate). He had to know that being on the show was going to hurt his parents, who as far as the show goes, are innocent in this. It’s one thing for the wives to bicker and it makes perfect sense that a husband sides with his wife, but I have this strange feeling that Joey is ENJOYING the discord. I don’t know if it’s just sibling rivalry run amok, meaning Joey HAD to be on the show too b/c God forbid his sister outshine him in any way……or if 2 women (even if one is his sister) seemingly fighting about “who loves Joey more” feeds his overinflated ego. But whatever it is, Joey feeds the beast as much as, if not more than his wife. Don’t forget, the Giudices and Gorgas grew up together, Joey didn’t meet Juicy when he married Teresa, he was a little brother figure to him as well, since childhood. He knows how to hit Juicy where it hurts too. Is part of it rivalry between them as well? God knows Melissa wouldn’t be doing this show without Joeys blessing, so he obviously apporves of whatever is put out there, good or bad. Melissa may be self centered and petty, but I am starting to think Joey Gorga is the biggest snake of all. Just my opinion.
As for Caroline and Jac? Ugh. Could the BE anymore intrusive into someone elses family life? And Jac…Ashlee hit it on the head, she loves to stick her nose in other peoples drama. Oh and Kathy was there too. LOL.
disgrazia4 says on May 7, 2012 at 12:21 pm at LynnNChicago:
YOU are absolutely correct! I have been thinking for a while that Joey is the spoiled entitled troll behind all the hatred. If you look at episodes, right from the gate, Joey is calling his sister garbage. I mean, he could not wait to tear her down. The sadistic bookstore scene from their second season still gives me the willies. And this season in the previews, Little Boots is explaining to T, “you need to fall to see what you have done wrong.” What a god, like Caligua! He certainly has an agenda going on here. He’s going to make her see. Like I’ve said before, he’s the charming guidorilla that is so popular he can get these nj morons to do his dirty work. Every conversation he is a part of seems calculated to point out all her troubles, to make sure we all know. And poor T, not that smart and showing it every week, is thinking all these other people, Messy, Kathy, Richie, Don C and her chorus of crows, are obstacles in the way of her relationship with her lil bro not realizing that he has set up the course himself. And it’s a labyrinth that has no exit. I think her bro is really effed up. She’s got to cut her losses and run because he is little more than an over bloated ego…that can’t read.
Having a poor relationship with his parents is very telling. Italians are notorious for worshiping their sons, particularly their first born and lil boots is the only son which would put him right up there with the Christ child in the Italian tradition the children’s pecking order. Growing up, I had 2 friends, sisters, who were the 2 oldest of seven. They had one brother, fifth born, and he was the top dog in the household. The parents, like the Gorgas were off the boat. The 2 oldest did everything that the parents needed translation for, like dealing with utilities and agencies etc. They were also in charge of the little ones. The boy knew he was treasured and was a little imp and got away with everything. He never got in trouble. Those girls were responsible whenever he caused mischief. I imagine that Tre has gone through a similar experience with her parents and the troll. But even spoilt children don’t carry this much animosity. And what happened that his parents seem to have given up on him? Remember how the troll yelled at them and blamed them for it? He is a creep…and did I mention immature?
I imagine the troll, ie lil boots, grew up very feeling very entitled. Perhaps he has been feeling a Rumpelstilskin type rage ever since Tre was picked to be on the show. It shoulda been him! He is more handsome, more charming, has a better house, a better spouse, better children! He will show the world that he is better than she! I think that has been his intention and agenda. He is right about one thing though, he has poison inside him. I thank God my own brother is not like him. Run Tre run.

Wow! I bet the video shown does not even compare to the destruction that lies ahead. Bravo really wants everyone to fall apart. We all know most of what happened, but I guess Bravo is leaving things out to keep the viewers tuned in. This show is sad to watch. Everyone is so crazy, and Melissa plays a big part of it. I don’t know if I could watch the whole season. It’s too disappointing and too much.
JoJoLaMa on March 22, 2012 at 8:18 pm said on AllAboutTRH.com:
Teresa will no doubt be in hyper defensive mode the entire season, and yes, will probably start a lot of petty fights and appear like she’s overreacting to tiny slights. IF I were her friend, I’d tell her for her own sake to cool it and not give them ( Mel, Caro, Kathy, BRAVO) the satisfaction. That being said, I TOTALLY GET WHY she’s like that. Seasons 3 and 4 combined were just one long, set-up against her. The Manzos hang out with the producers; her scummy relatives have been trying to get on the show for years and promised to “take Teresa down”; Kathy and Rich CONSTANTLY say sh*t behind her back and insult her parents; she has to listen with patience to endless moralizing about her own personal problems on camera while knowing FULL WELL that the women droning on about her actually have strikingly similar problems in their own lives that they’re keeping under wraps, etc etc. The casual or first-time watcher will undoubtedly think Teresa is nuts and overly defensive, but lots of us know the truth and are prepared to sit in our basements, in our pajamas and blog all day long while eating bags and bags of cheetos! The slights which appear tiny, actually are not; they are the tippy top surface of a lot of drama, backstabbing and pain. Teresa isn’t reacting to one dumb, seemingly innocuous comment half the time; she’s reacting to the whole situation.
Annah on March 24, 2012 at 8:45 pm on AllAboutTRH.com:
I almost feel like it doesn’t matter what Teresa does, even if it looks bad, she could flip a table and chase them all down a hallway screeching her head off or be rude, mean, petty or even backstabbing and it still won’t affect my judgement on her…. because I know she will be reacting that way out of self defense and the feeling of being attacked, bullied and ganged up on. I know there will be times that she will say the wrong thing and maybe won’t look so innocent, but it won’t matter because if I was in her situation with those sub-humans I wouldn’t probably say and do a lot worse. I’ll be giving Teresa a LOT of leeway for any and ALL of her behavior this season.

Teresa’s family should’ve NEVER joined her show — it was cold and heartless. Mel acts like it was SUCH a huge decision for her but she lost nothing — she didn’t have fans to begin with, so she gained some fans and gained Tre’s old friends — Tre was the one who lost some fans and friends… but then again the fans who think MELISSA is the classy one aren’t very bright…

It’s no wonder why Melissa treats Teresa the way she does — it’s because Joey enables her. If Joey, Teresa’s own blood brother, can talk shit about her then he’s obviously making it okay for Melissa to talk shit about her.
The problem is with Joey, not Melissa. She only adds fuel to the fire because she’s jealous. But Joey is the reason why their family is so dysfunctional. He has some kind of vendetta against Teresa otherwise why would he continuously bash his sister all over the media?
People can say whatever they want about Teresa, but so far, she’s the only one who has shown loyalty and class throughout the whole feud. She has yet to retaliate on all the ridiculous things that Caroline, Jac, Melissa and Joey have said about her. Teresa is loyal to a fault — her family bashes her for money and fame yet Teresa still stands by them and wants to reconcile.

I am not sure I want to see Season 4. Just looking at Caroline pisses me off. She is such a hypocrite and such a horrible parent. I can’t stand that someone like her is lifted up as an example and as someone to do an advice call in show. She withholds love from her daughter for being overweight. She’s raised two sons who can’t make a living on their own and have to have family jobs created for them. All her children are overly dependent on their parents and can’t stand on their own two feet. She has long running feuds with several family members, has a husband who cheats the city and lies to get an appointment that he was not qualified for, and she is giving advice?
I am tired of Melissa and Joe Gorga. Joe Gorga is vulgar and a misogynist. He is a horrible man and a thug. He’s a bully, a pig and doesn’t even treat his wife like a full, autonomous human being, but then his wife seems to think he bought her lock, stock and barrel when they got married and treats her relationship in a very transactional way – so no wonder he treats her like his wholly owned personal prostitute.
Jacqueline is just a boring whiner. Go away.
Kathy is a desperate wannabee. She’s the one who always worked so damn hard in high school cleaning up the gym AFTER the prom while everyone else was out having fun, but because she was helping out, she thought she was popular.
Tre – well, she’s not the brightest, most literate person in the world. She’s materialistic and has gaudy taste. However, she has grit and dignity and fortitude. The only draw that there is, on RHONJ, is to see that unsinkable Teresa Giudice who is a living example of “I get knocked down and I get up again…” That’s more than can be said for the other women who cast such a horrible example for all to see.

I would love to support Teresa, but I will not tune into the 4 season of the show. I can’t take how they are teaming up against Teresa. I would love for these b#ches to be called out on all their scandals at the end of last year. Good luck Teresa…..I won’t give Bravo the ratings for bullying. There are national campaigns against bullying but Andy chooses to focus on the same shit that put a man into the grave-R.I.P. Russell. Anti-bullying doesn’t just go for gays, Bravo. Terrible.

I CANNOT tolerate Caroline Manzo. She’s a bully. Every single one of these women have issues & personalities that I find unattractive, however pompASS Caroline takes the cake.
When I don’t care for someone, I leave them the heck alone…not Caroline. She escalated the Danielle Staub situation and is now doing the same with Teresa. She needs to but out and learn to mind her own business. Maybe she needs to stop being a hypocrite and fix her own familial problems.

If Caroline and Jacqueline were adamant about staying out of another family’s business, this all could have been avoided. They could have been friends with Melissa and avoided topics around Teresa.
I don’t think any person would think it’s acceptable for friends to interject themselves into family matters.

When Caroline wants someone out, man she wants them out: she rallies the troops, and that is that. Only this time it’s Teresa, but Teresa will not back down from Caroline. It looks to me from that preview clip she goes toe to toe with her and does not take Caroline’s mouth at all, and why should she? Not everyone is intimated by Caroline, not everyone thinks the sun rises and sets on her words, not everyone has to listen to her call them names and humiliate them. Caroline really thinks (in my opinion) she can speak to anyone any which way and they are going to stand there and take it… Well Teresa is not the one, that is for sure.

The hypocrisy, double standard, and judgmental behavior of Caroline Manzo is sickening. She is estranged by not one, but TWO siblings and she has the nerve to lecture Teresa? Instead of owning up to her part of the strife between her and Dina, she blames Teresa for it. Caroline removes herself from guilt in any and all situations. She uses people when they kiss her ass and listen to her as if she speaks the gospel. Once they serve her purpose, she drops them like a hot potato.

Caroline has a lot of nerve to accuse Teresa of trying to destroy her brother’s family. She makes accusations fueled by hate and tries to sell it to the viewers as the truth. Does she think the public is stupid? What about Teresa’s parents? Caroline, if you want the truth, here it is. Teresa’s brother agreed to air out his family’s dirty laundry in exchange for his wife to become a housewife and a singer. He chose to do this, with no regards to his parents who are old and not well. Why can’t you and Jacqueline own up to the truth? I know why? Because Teresa and the Guidice family are more popular than the almighty Laurita clan. You jumped on a hate train knowing full well that the intentions of the Gorga’s was to cause harm to the Guidices. You did not care because you wanted Teresa out of the way. You became bitter and jealous because she got the cookbook and the invitation to be on Celebrity Apprentice. Just don’t think you have the power to spin this in your favor. THE PUBLIC IS NOT STUPID.

I have a soft spot for Jacqueline. She’s behaved like an absolute beast during Season 3, and now we know in Season 4 too, BUT I have always felt like she is totally under the control of Caroline and wouldn’t have acted that way if left to her own devices and and felt free to make her own decisions about who to like. I think she does what she has to do to get along in that family and that necessarily means kissing Caroline’s ass and going along with everything she says. Can you imagine what it would be like for her if she went against Caroline publicly to stick up for Teresa? She’d pay and she knows it. I’ve always kind of liked Chris Laurita, but something tells me not that he would SIDE with Caro over Jac necessarily, but that he wouldn’t do a damn thing about it if Jac came to him about Caroline abusing her.

Jaq had her chance to speak her mind and for Teresa to respond face to face at the reunion. Since she weaseled out of the reunion, Bravo shouldn’t give her a platform to whine about T on the Bravo blogs this season. Even if you don’t agree with everything Teresa does, you have to give her credit for the strength she showed standing up to that gang of losers at the reunion. At least now most have seen for themselves what jealous manipulators they are. If Melissa and Joe were having problems getting along with Teresa, they should have stayed away from her – not pushed their way onto her TV show so they could publicly call her garbage within their first 5 minutes of joining RHONJ. And Clownzo needs to get over herself. She’s only important in her own mind and needs to stop with the lame advice. Why would anyone follow her advice since no one would want to be like her?
lucky13 on 25 Mar, 2012 at 11:54 am said on Reality Tea:
I don’t think Teresa is jealous of Melissa, I think she was pissed and disgusted with her because of how she got on the show, and she was Danielle Staub’s source. Everything D knew about T was info Mel, and probably Joey, told her. And Teresa wasn’t good at faking it. I do think the Gorgas were very envious of Tre, because they wanted that same D list fame. The only thing I ever heard them say is how she kept them away from the cameras; and although she really didn’t (because Bravo showed us) I can see why she didn’t have them on, in front center: they would act like fools airing out family issues.
Lena1 on 25 Mar, 2012 at 9:44 am said on Reality Tea:
I think it was pretty clear that Melissa wanted to be on the show; Danielle outed her and Bravo never deined that she was in contact with them. It was just sad that it took hurting her husband’s family and ruining friendships of 10 years for her to get her way. She has her ‘ fame’, she has Teresas friends, she has Joey hating his sister — I guess she has everything she wanted . She says she can sleep at night, well good for her.

For all the people who think Teresa is jealous, I’m wondering what show your are watching?? How many of you would be ok with your family member opening a competing business in the middle of the night without your knowledge. All the while trying to steal your customers, then waging a campaign to discredit your livelihood. That’s not jealousy…it’s called betrayal!!!
Nicole on March 23, 2012 at 10:01 am said on AllAboutTRH.com:
On Jacqueline accusing Teresa of being jealous –
Let’s see here:
Teresa is on CA and is more successful than all the trolls combined.
Teresa is the most popular housewife and is in the news/media more than the trolls combined.
Teresa actually has a successful career outside the show (books, wine, etc…) and is working on her 3rd book.
Caroline had a failed radio show and advice column.
Caroline has no business endeavors and has spent majority of her time trying to troll twitter for Lauren’s makeup line.
Jacqueline has absolutely nothing to do, no offers for any endorsements, etc… And literally spends 95% of her time spewing stupidity all over twitter.
Melissa has a failed music career and makes appearances at trashy bars/clubs because no one in the real music industry wants to hire her.
Kathy (the only other person who I can remotely stand) has some dessert wine.
Yes, Jacqueline, Teresa has SO much to be jealous about. Lol. The only thing Teresa is jealous of Melissa about is her relationship with Joey.
villadeste on March 23, 2012 at 9:15 pm said on AllAboutTRH.com:
Enough already, we all get it Jacqueline, you don’t like Teresa. Your entitled to your opinion. My beef with you isn’t about being on Team Teresa, it has more to do with you violating my number one girlfriend rule, “When a long friendship ends you don’t disclose secrets and confidences made to you during that friendship”. I am almost 60 years old and I have heard many confessions and secrets from friends. Sadly, all friendships don’t last and, yes, I was hurt and angry, but I would never publicly reveal what I was told when I was a trusted friend. I might think about it, but I would never do it. I would try to respect the good times we shared and move on with my life. I am sure sometime in your life someone has given you the gift of forgiveness, kept your secrets and just moved on.You might consider extending that gift to Teresa. But hey, if it makes your day easier, knock yourself out with your need to let the world know about your frustration that everyone doesn’t share YOUR opinion of your former friend. You definitely made your feelings clear with the “F U Teresa” statement we can all watch on the trailer. It’s a free country, say whatever you want… Just stop with the Thanksgiving tweets to Dina, the Christmas tweets about forgiveness and the “I still love Teresa” interviews. Sadly, the woman in the trailer expressing her hatred seems to be the real you.
BEv on March 23, 2012 at 10:55 am said on AllAboutTRH.com:
I don’t think Tre and Jax will ever be friends again. Remember that horrendous blog Jacqueline wrote last season about Teresa. It was so disgusting and cruel…all because Teresa would not admit her financial issues to Jax and acted like it was all good. WHO CARES …. If behaving like it is all good works for Teresa, so be it. Jacqueline has done some nasty campaigning on twitter against Teresa as well. I would NEVER trust Jax again. If Jacqueline could sell out Dina and Tre so easily, why would either one trust her in the future? I used to think Jacqueline was manipulated, however, I have come to realize Jax is the most cunning one of them all. She is a pot stirring biatch.
BEv on March 23, 2012 at 10:06 am said on AllAboutTRH.com:
I believe they are ALL jealous of each other to some extent, including Tre. I think Caroline and Jacqueline are jealous of how popular Teresa is in comparison to themselves, and I also think they are jealous that everything she touches turns to gold. Both have had their hands in something, but none of their ventures are really that successful. I think Melissa, Joe, Kathy and Richie have been jealous for years of Teresa for her spotlight on the show. That is why they clawed their way onto the show. I think they are jealous because, no matter what they say or do, they will never achieve the fan base Teresa has. They will never get the success she has with the stuff they are pedaling. I also think to some extent Teresa is jealous of the alliance against her. It was supposed to be the other way around but it’s not. I don’t believe Tre wanted to share the spotlight with her family, especially the disgusting way they got on the show. I for one don’t blame her on that. Caroline and Jax have to understand that if their family had done what Tre’s family did, they both would be besides themselves. They have no room to judge her. Jax is the biggest shit stirrer of them all, and Caroline sticks her nose where it doesn’t belong. I don’t think I will watch this season for the long haul. It will be too dark for me. If the same gang up on one person will be happening, count me out.

Why isn’t everyone bothered by the fact Jacqueline didn’t show for the reunion???? I could do without ever seeing her two faces again. I just saw the full trailer. Joe Gorga tells his sister she needs to fall to see what she has done wrong. Is he on drugs? Wishing failure on his own sister because Teresa doesn’t bow down to his fame whore wife. Get a grip Joe. You aired all of Teresa’s laundry, and there is nothing there that warrants your behavior toward her. Most important of all, ONLY Teresa has stayed loyal to her friendemies by never talking shit about any of them. Since the reunion and after, they ganged up to bring her down. Guess she is too busy with her beautiful family and working making money to waste the time. With jealous aholes.

For some reason in Season One Jacqueline was her own person and took Danielle’s side…then Season Two she dropped Danielle as a friend because Chris told her to, and sat back with Caroline to set up Dina and Teresa to deal with Danielle…Dina ended up leaving the show and Teresa was left as the bad guy…too bad Danielle never saw the real picture. Caroline called the shots all along. Then when Teresa started to shine despite her financial troubles and her family sneaking on the show, Caroline became jealous and teamed up with Melissa and Kathie. So it was time to bring Jacqueline along also…and because Jacqueline has not a clue on how to be a friend, she did what she was told. Now she has no friends and has to do what Caroline and Chris tell her. Just how Dina says that Teresa never did a thing to Caroline, she has never done a thing to Jacqueline. How Teresa decides to deal with her own family really is truly her business…and they should have stayed out of it. Yes, it is really so sad to see a person go from being her own person to being a puppet for Caroline.

I also find myself being emotionally involved and get very angry with the way Bravo has let Don Caro and family, along with Jac, Kathy and especially MeHo and Little Man try to ruin Tre and her livelihood and family. How could so many people – supposedly “family” – have such a hard-on to hate on her so bad. She has been shown to be loyal and loving – yeah, she can be over the top – but she is what she is, not an evil Biatch like her SIL. Hopefully Little Man will wake up and see Tre is not out to hurt him – she loves him – but, from the trailer, he’s wanting her to FALL to see what she has done. She just wants her family. She has proven to all this is why she did not want them to join the show – MeHo & Little Man wanted the fame so badly – and it turned out to be a nightmare for her beyond what she has had to contend with in her everyday life. God Bless her – she deserves it.

Caroline and Jaq have both known Teresa for HOW MANY YEARS? And they don’t think it’s at all strange that they never thought ANY of this about Teresa until Melissa came on the show?!! And if Caroline is ALL ABOUT FAMILY then she should NEVER respect anyone who came on to a show to hurt. Bravo didn’t hire Melissa because she was interesting. They hired her cause they needed a new Drama Danielle. And Andy better get his shit together this reunion and confront Caroline about LYING and trying to blame Teresa for Dina when Dina has said NUMEROUS times IT WASN’T TERESA’S FAULT! Caroline is just being a big baby and doesn’t wanna admit she’s wrong!
JoJoLaMa on March 23, 2012 at 4:21 pm said on AllAboutTRH.com:
I really believe Don Caro thought she could just declare Tre evil, crazy and/or persona non grata and it would immediately be the law of the NJ reality land. The public would hate Teresa on her say so alone and then Andy Cohen would soon fire her, leaving room for Don to bring in one of her friends and also to give her “kids” a more prominent role on the show. I really believe she thought they had a Danielle/Kelly Bensimon situation and they could easily convince people that Teresa is crazy and then bully her off the show. Notice how many times Caroline has called Teresa “crazy”? She did it twice just in those trailers (while flailing her flabby arms around giving the universal gesticulation for nuts). Problem is, unlike Danielle and Kelly, both of whom I really believe are truly let’s say ” troubled”, Teresa, although not perfect, is perfectly sane, not a danger to herself or anyone else, AND THE MOST POPULAR ONE ON THE SHOW. What’s the evidence for this? Well, first, do just a sample read of a variety of blogs and a rough count of how many comments are pro Tre or even just ANTI everyone else. But even more impressive is how many companies and big-time institutions have offered her deals and opportunities. She’s marketable = likable, relatable, sympathetic. Caro and the others didn’t count on the public backlash, and I bet even when it started, they thought they could control it. Whoops. Keep in mind too, they did this all WITH the full cooperation and help of Andy Cohen and his scummy producers, and it still didn’t work. Caroline STILL thinks the public is stupid though, because she is STILL promising us we’re “really going to find out the truth!” soon. IOW, “you’re all just been mislead and are confused.”

Someone should tell Caroline to practice what she preaches. If you refuse to air out your family’s dirty laundry for the sake of your parents, don’t add your 2 cent to someone else’s. She is an enabler to the Gorgas. As long as she supports them, they won’t take responsibility for their actions.

IDK who they think they’re fooling but they ain’t fooling me… It’s disgusting how malicious and vindictive those women are. And Caroline, I liked her in S1… shit even Jac too. I liked the whole dynamic up until last season. Till the jealous trolls Melissa and Joe infiltrated RHONJ to destroy and bully Tre. They knew the only way they would get on was if they promised to bash and bring drama to Tre. I think it’s sad and disgusting that Bravo is letting this go on. You take it to a whole different level when it’s family involved and your ‘family’ purposely brings you down, talks trash on you and abuses you! It’s disgusting and I don’t think I’ll be watching! I would have loved for Bravo to trash season 4 since we all know what went on anyways and it’s so old news… they should have reworked the cast and shot it over again!!

What all this turmoil is doing is giving Teresa more fans! Jac, Caro and Melissa must be really slow not to see it! The more Jac tries to explain her side, the more we see what a nut job she is. They need to STFU and admit that Teresa is doing nothing to any of them to hurt them or to take business away from them. Teresa is walking her own path and concerned with her family and her business. Period. When she gives interviews, she talks about HERSELF, not anyone else. I don’t understand why this bothers Jac, Caro and Melissa. Teresa doesn’t address the arguments because it’s no one’s business but her family’s. She doesn’t need to tell us about her financial status because it’s no one’s business but her family’s. The whole group is just too jealous to admit that T’s popularity isn’t due to her “stealing” anyone’s thunder, but because we viewers see her as a loving mother, good friend, adoring wife and good person. Trying to throw dirt on her only makes them look bad.

We know there are many things going on that Bravo is not telling us. And we know we’re being lied to incessantly by both the cast and the network…
What is not boring is the accusation that Melissa was feeding information to Danielle Staub about Teresa. What is not boring is the idea that she promised the producers that she would amp up the drama by attacking Teresa on camera. We doubt we’ll ever know what Melissa said to the producers, but we do think we will hear about how Danielle knew Teresa was not an ideal aunt to Melissa’s children. We do not think Melissa will be able to hide that for much longer.
We think it is pretty obvious that Melissa wants a lot of attention. Not like the regular “aren’t I pretty?” attention. No, that would not be enough for Melissa. She wants worldwide fame kind of attention. And she wants it pretty badly. We’re not sure if she would throw her husband’s family under the bus to get it, but it wouldn’t surprise us.
Throughout the season we have wondered about Melissa’s song On Display, which when you get right down to it, is an anthem to narcissism. We have no idea when she wrote it, but we are 100% positive that when she did, she was not at all on display. She was a garden variety housewife and mother in Northern, New Jersey. If she wrote this song after she was on the show and a staple of supermarket weeklies, you could make a case that Melissa is troubled by being hunted by the paparazzi. But if you consider the fact that she wrote the song before anyone outside of her tiny circle knew her name, you have to wonder if she is actually fantasizing about what it’d be like to famous. Then the line, “slander my name in all the papers, that’s what you wanna do, but you keep watching, I’ll keep glowing, that’s what I’ll do for you,” practically defines the core of narcissism: any attention, good or bad, is better than anonymity.

I am glad that Jersey is back, I think they are one of the best series in general and last season left so many cliff hangers.
Everyone is attacking Teresa, its weird. Many people already posted about the language in all the cast members blogs (except Teresa’s) and i get the feeling that they all decided to go after her form an alliance amongst themselves. Whats more funny is that if Teresa left they would have to find a new villain which would have to be one of the members of the current cast or a new housewife (but really how much do Caroline, Melissa, Kathy and Jaqueline really like each other? )
I think Jac and Caroline need a serious review of seasons 1 and 2. Teresa was loyal to them 100% against Dirty D, now that she is gone they want to make Teresa the bad guy. I remember when Caroline was defending Teresa’s crazy behavior towards Dirty D and now that Teresa has moved on from being Caroline’s defender all of a sudden Teresa is a bad person.
The cook book was honestly not a big deal. Teresa did not attack Caroline’s kids. She clearly said she would not condone her girls being strip/carwash employees(thats a dumb idea anyway), whats the harm in that? I think Caroline needs a new scapegoat and Teresa fit the bill…and of course when Caroline says jump Jac asks how high.
As for Melissa and Kathy they are way sketchy too. They came on the show for money and fame. period. they all came on the show for that so for them to make the teresa the only person “guilty” of this is simply dumb. Melissa and Kathy knew that the family drama would be the focal point of the show and they signed the contracts anyway. If they wanted to fix things they would leave the show and work it out like a real family.

It seems that Andy’s mission is to portray women as naturally vain, shallow, petty, impulsive, untrustworthy and cruel. His method is to select flamboyant women who are insecure and no longer young, pit them against each other on national television to elicit the worst possible behavior, capture their suffering and reactions to each gaffe and betrayal, and then force them to confront each other again and again, until every last shred of dignity has been stripped away. A simple water boarding would be more humane, especially for their minor children.

You are definitely getting the nice edit, and I see right past you and your husband, who is obsessed with camera time. If you care about your family, why would you think reality TV is the right outlet to bring about peace?! Don’t insult my intelligence.
