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

“Only dumb Marge and jealous Melissa would find a complete RHONJ stalker and make them the center of their non-existent storylines. This woman is full-on nuts.”

Rebecca Toth Diefenbach Returns as Executive Producer of RHONJ; Could the Gorgas Finally Be Getting the Edit They Deserve?
Rebecca Toth (now Rebecca Toth Diefenbach), the producer to whom Danielle Staub said she forwarded Melissa’s e-mails, is listed as executive producer of RHONJ season 5, episodes 5, 6 and 7 (she may be listed for the previous episodes as well, but I didn’t notice).
“@AllAboutTRHONJ you do realize I’m not the only one holding that info right??? One other person has it!!!” – Danielle Staub, August 7, 2011, Twitter
“@aimee_meow @teresa_giudice ps tre ask Rebecca Toth to see M’s emails I forwarded while filming season 2.” – Danielle Staub, August 9, 2011, Twitter
@aimee_meow @teresa_guidice I will aimee when I do, not sure that I’ll feel better bc it’s going to hurt another, perhaps M should come clean.” – Danielle Staub, August 9, 2011, Twitter
Rebecca co-founded Sirens Media in 2005 (Sirens Media produces RHONJ) and was executive producer of 13 episodes in seasons 1 and 2, the seasons before the Gorgas and Wakiles were added to the cast.
Could the Gorgas finally be getting the edit they deserve now that Rebecca is back in charge?
“I see episode 7 as a turning point for the producers of this show. After having witnessed this fight, hearing the language used by brother to sister, seeing the looks that Kathy is giving Melissa’s comments, Rosie meeting with Teresa, the producers now might be saying lets switch this up and sympathize with Teresa because ‘these Gorgas are nuts, even Joey going for Juicy’s nuts’.” – Happy Holly Daze, July 7, 2013, Fame-Whorgas
The Gorgas got a very favorable edit in seasons 3 and 4 compared to the Giudices – this was the time period when Cat Rodriguez was executive producer – the Gorgas and Wakiles socialized with Rodriguez.
The following is a twitlonger from Will Love to Dilettante@AutumnLeaves61 from September 18, 2012 that explained RHONJ producer bias during seasons 3 and 4:
“Cat Rodriguez butchered this season with her bias editing.” – Will Love, September 18, 2012, Twitter
Andy Cohen does play a role in the editing process. He has said so directly in interviews.
With that said, overall @yourfriendkitty [Cat Rodgriguez] and @carolineself [Caroline Self] have the most editing power. They are the executive producers of Season 3 and Season 4 #RHONJ. They work on location and off location. They send the editors what footage to use as well as tell them what to keep in and what to cut out.
@carolineself is tight with the Manzos while @yourfriendkitty is tight with the Gorgas and Wakiles.
Cat [Rodriguez] completely edited out of the two-part finale @PDKhair, as well as multiple ex-coworkers of Melissa’s who were present at the salon and fashion show. Their interactions made the Angelo incident look G-rated. Obviously that move was deliberate.
Furthermore, Cat held Penny back from defending Kim when Joe Gorga called Kim a drug addict, a cunt and went to punch her. Even worse, as you will see in the finale, Cat completely butchered the conversation Angelo had with a friend at the bar to make it appear as though Teresa masterminded everything.
The unprofessionalism of Cat Rodriguez and Caroline Self is disgusting. In this economy, why do these the type of people have employment? Only a network like @BravoTV would believe that their viewers are so incompetent that they wouldn’t see past the blatant bias.
From Rebecca Toth‘s and Rebecca Toth Diefenbach‘s combined IMDb files, it looks like she returned as executive producer after Cat Rodriguez was fired near the end of season 4:
