From Bravo… a synopsis of Sunday’s episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Kathy attempts to make a sweet business deal. NOTE: Oh, here we go again with KomaKathy and her “dessert” business! Wonder if she took her menu with her to the big business deal??
Melissa meets with a music industry hot-shot to see if she has the makings of a rock star. NOTE: Uh… wouldn’t record sales show whether MeGo is makin’ it as a “rock star”? If the music industry “hot-shot” has any brains, he would have already done a bit of research and see that MeGo still has to sell her CDs for $10 outta the trunk of her car. If singing was her “life’s dream”… MeGo shoulda been singin’ at Six Flags 20 years ago, not last night!
MeGo was the main stage performer last night for gay night at Six Flags…
Fashion fever grips Jersey as it’s time for Kim D’s annual Posche Fashion Show. NOTE: Hmmm…. Bravo describes the fashion show setup as “fashion fever”? Let’s call it what it is: the annual PoscheChaosFest!
KimG was invited, but declined!
Kim Granatell tweeted September 29, 2011…
Before the models, a ghost from Melissa’s past comes down the runway and Teresa makes a shocking discovery that sets the stage for drama to come. NOTE: Everyone knows… said like Phaedra Parks… that the “drama to come” is Lookers ex-manager, Angelo, and he ain’t comin’ down the runway!
NOTE: WHAT! No mention of either BubbaJax or DonCaro??
“Hey… DonCaro! Let’s slink on outta here while dey gotz da spotlight on your good friend, Melissa. Well, I’m slinkin’ on outta here… you do what you want…”
I have a feeling that the last episode will make Teresa look like very bad.Bravo should do damage control after what former producers did to Teresa-but I doubt it.Bravo still hates her and the only reason why they fired those producers-viewers were too smart and figured out their agenda and now it looks bad for bravo.Read somethings on line regarding Kathy and Rich,they claim things between them and T are worse and they have tried with her.Also saw a blind that seems to be about T and Caroline.I think the NJ cast will get away with atleast 65% of what they did to T.Life just isn’t fair and evil ppl seem to always get away with sh**.
It really is strange how Bravo and Andy can’t stand Tre. She is the star of the show and she is the reason viewers time in every week. If she is out who will tune in to watch the others? No one.
Tune in
I think Bravo cannot stand Teresa because of her husband making negative remarks about Teresa. Andy is so twisted and caught up in his gay agenda, he even allowed Facebook users go after one of Teresa’s daughters in the most horrible way. Unbelievable that Bravo would allow a little six year old to be called “b*tch” and worse by grown adults.
Andy needs to go… Honestly, he is the main reason I won’t watch this show anymore… So sick of his ass kissing of the Manzos, lil joey, well the bunch of them… Fill me in SH, I won’t watch..
If you hate someone so much why do you keep them around? Teresa if you know that they hate you why do you stay around? Go sell yourself to other networks like Dina did, I’m sure you can…
I wish she would go to another network too and be successful there. I believe that Andy has a sadistic streak when it comes to her and he enjoys setting up all the Teresa bashing and Poll fixing on WWHL. The Manzos are big time losers and for whatever reason (if anyone knows PLEASE TELL ME!) Bravo loves them.
I guess he doesn’t want to believe the Carowhine is a racist and is anti-semetic….What do they hold over you Mandy or do you like their dirty money? Remember them when you’re gone.
2 things you have all have to realize: 1) Bravo most likely retains the SS#s of all contestants / housewives…that way they can do a background check. That means they would most likely have advanced knowledge of the work history of any person on their shows provided they were ‘on the books’. 2) When a person sees someone they know become famous they may try to use knowledge of that person’s history to make themselves famous. This Angelo guy may have contacted Bravo…there’s no such thing as bad publicity!
Ordinarliy it would be best to see what exactly unfolds on the episode, however after the obvious manipulation of time regarding when the fashion show took place vis a vis the Fabellini launch, not to mention the manufactured conversation between Melissa and Caroline, what the viewer sees is not necessarily what transpired between the real housewives.
So, I guess I would be surprised if Teresa had the guile to orchestrate the outing of her SIL as an ex-stripper. As I recall, the expert in masterminding outing other housewives is Caroline. After all didn;t she take credit for revealing Daniell’s unsavory past, not to mention driving her off the show. I just have never seen any evidence of Teresa engineering any sort of coup on the show.
Agree!
If it is a fashion show run by Kim D isn’t she the one who was inviting people? It makes sense that Kim D did it do she could get a spot permanently on the show.
I’ve always felt it was Bravo who did the setup. They kill two birds with one stone: Make Teresa look like the guilty party and bring up good dirt about Melissa. And as a bonus, give the rest of the girls (and I use this term loosely) more ammo against Teresa.
True. I did leave out that I always thought that bravo showed the Manzo’s “Cop Without a Badge,” and Caroline ran with it. Good point.
Here is what puzzles me – why would Teresa set Melissa up? It would hurt her parents.
she wants melissa out of her brothers life so she can have him back as 100% i dont fall for her lets be friends fake attitude towards Melissa Tre wants what Tre wants nothing else matters at the very least Tre knew this guy was in town sniffing around why did she not warn Melissa I read she went and gossiped to her father instead(dont know if thats true).
Oh you mean like a heads up phone call? Like MeGo gave Tree when she got signed on to do the show? like that? bahahaha
well if tre was told not to mention the visit like melissa was told not to mention she was coming on the show then its not tre’s fault and by her own admission she knew it was a strong possibility melissa was coming on so ST tre wasn’t in the dark as she wants you all to think. but you all fall for the head tilt and sweet giggle
Oh ok.
Aww, you posted a song about Andy.
lol. This is Andy’s song…or maybe MeGo’s with the You cant sing part
lol!
Hopefully this is Mandy’s Swan song…..good bye Mandy you suck….
My husband enjoyed this song just a little too much.
I guess you fall for sweet innocent Melissa and Jacqueline,@lisa
you would be wrong there lena they all cut from the same cloth
Ummm thats not what you said in your comment” but you all fall for the head tilt and sweet giggle”, @ lisa. But ok, whatever you say
they are are idiots IMO but i can see who is right and whose wrong in my opinion and tre is wrong sometimes a lot of the times actually .
I think they are all wrong alot of the times, @ lisa.
I think Caroline and Jacqueline have been wrong more than Teresa, 100%!!!
I think Teresa knew that Melissa was risking being outed on national TV ala Danielle and also her own difficulties. I agree with other posters Teresa was concerned about the impact on her parents. Probably also knows the real status of the Jr. Gorga’s finances and knew that Joey wasn’t smart enough not to brag and instead just shut it.
and JFR i am not on any team here i do not like any of them i just dislike some more then others depending on the circumstances
I dunno about that.. Tre may make a good president according to a Discovery News article sept. 13 2012. “Psychopathic traits make good Presidents” Can you say that about the other ladies?
I’m curious..what makes Teresa a psychopath? What traits? Psychologically speaking..
I’m a psychiatric professional. Teresa is not a psychopath. The end.
I agree, she is something Just not that
She’s a woman who is being bullied by 4 moronic idiots, Katty, JaxAss, Carowhine, and MeHo and one masterbater
ImThePuppeteer Thank you.. I didn’t think so.
@Lisa – ITA, they are all fame whores. That is the point of being on shows like this, they have no real talent or insights, just a willingness to show their a** on tv. It used to be funny watching them but they have gone too dark this season so I’m not watching far less than previous years.
i agree its just not fun watching families fall apart . im through with BH for that reason NJ is next the behavior of all of them is disgusting and whats more disgusting is they seem content doing it week after week
I thought I heard they were phasing out SHAFT but then I read somewhere she was part of filming deep into the next season, so I’m outta BH, too. LOL, I can’t understand how they could see the final version of each week’s episode and continue to do it either but then I’ve always wondered what type of person would be on these shows.
I thought Andy said he told he months ahead of time they were in talks with them coming on the show.
he did and tre still claimed no knowledge and finally admitted she knew they were being talked to.
I think that was Tree’s version of “whatever Cohen”
its amazing to me that everyone lies on this show but Tre such odds.
Milania hasn’t told one lie yet either.
well she is her mothers daughter
She knew they were in talks, but Kathy admitted she never called her to confirm…
And we all know Miss Andy never lies. See RHNY reunion where he repeatedly said KooKooKelly was not made to go to the reunion.
But that isn’t the point. At all.
Teresa could have assumed all she wanted to. The ISSUE is that her SIL and brother didn’t tell her a darn thing about how they wormed their way on to the show.
What reason would there be for Bravo to tell Missy and Kathy to keep it “quiet” that they were the new cast members on the show if it weren’t meant to stir up “family” drama? If there was no discourse, between Tre, her brother and his wife (could care less about Kathy) , would that EVEN have happened? No. It would not have. Which falls right in line with the “we’ll take Teresa down, if you let us, please, please, please, let us.” audition tape Missy and the Inch (allegedly) made for Bravo. Missy and her Inch came in the back door, kept their pie-holes shut (when it came to Teresa) so they could get their faces on tv.
exactly
It was on the reunion thread that SH posted a couple of days age.. That P.OS. Angel of GOD Joey brought their ( Joey and Teresa’s) father into this at the reunion! I’m not surprised, that POS brought up helping his parents out on national tv, he is SCUM!!!!!
opps * ago
I agree Lena. The epitome of scum move right there for sure.
He disgusts me @ madepiley, for real!!
He disgusts me for many reasons. He’s got the IQ of a 10 year old kid which is why Bravo likes him. I feel so bad for his parents.
That has always bothered me but for different reason. I read here a while back that JoGo was at one time on the title of his parents home. How much to want to be his father’s house was used at one time as collateral for JoGo’s business. I think if he is paying their rent it’s because they invested the money they had in their house in JoGo’s business.
That makes sense which makes it even more deplorable that he spun it the way he did knowing his dad would never put him in check over it. Its not like Poppa Gorga is gonna show up in the back of a limo and point his finger at JoGo and say “You stole my gd house!” (in Kim Richards’ voice)
It’s still wrong wrong wrong on every freakin level to bring up helping his parents financially on national tv. Then for that POS to bring his father into the mess of Teresa, and his whole stripper/ dancer outing at the reunion?? OMG, this guy!!
ITA Lena ,Jogo is a POS!
You’re right cyn, I couldn’t put my finger on it, but you did the thinking for me… I always thought that.. He’s greedy, that’s probably why the Sr. Gorgas are not that fond of their son..
I thought the senior Gorgas lived with Teresa. On one of the episodes Joe G was spewing venom about Tre’s family and he said he would also throw out Tre’s parents (from Joe and Tre’s home).
yea like tre never ever gossiped about melissa to her parents its all joeys fault
Don’t know what that has to do with what I posted above @ lisa. But again whatever you say..Free speech and all
Whatever is right i am not falling for the snark trap today not feeling up to it
I agree with you on many things. We shall have to wait and see but I do feel (from past dealings) that Tre is not to be trusted. Period. Not saying that the others are saints. Why did tre end up calling Caro a c after being to horrified that her own husband called her the same. To me, that word should never be used.
since people find tre so likable she is more likely to be trusted and believed but i see thru her because i have known to many people like her they use that likability to cover how nasty they really are tre uses it like a art form
Lisa, I also had run-ins with people like her. You learn with time and experience to spot them coming. One of the good things that come with age. Does the way that some on here trash talk show who they really are or is this a safe place to just vent and not act like this in their daily life. My point is that we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg every week. These shows do not comletely define the cast any more that some peoples’ snarly posts here define them. At least I hope not.
@Kay – You are dead on. We only see the tip of the iceberg that Bravo wants us to see. The viewers are manipulated into rooting for one or the other. But the cast on this show in particular seems work at showing that bad behavior more than others. What man/men regularly drop their pants outside of their home, repeatedly are filmed peeing by outdoors, flash their short-comings, call their wives a b and c, while the wives are making excuses for the behavior on the other RH shows? Although Ramona’s husband on RHONY clearly wants to be a real housewife and Adrienne’s and Kyle’s husbands use their screen time to the hilt, none of them are as central and disgusting as the NJ men and that can’t just be editing or a sliver of their lives. Even Cynthia’s fame whore husband isn’t as offensive as NJ husbands and that is saying a lot. JMHO.
I’ve known people like Teresa, too. However, I’ve found folks like Chuckie to be far more toxic and dangerous.
true that
ITA. I don’t think Teresa is deliberately mean, I think she is just insensitive and dense. Caroline is mean and deliberate in her nastiness. Ditto her spoiled kids.
Lisa just seems to just have a hard on for trashing Tre .. whether or not it pertains to the topic at hand or not .. and Navy SEALS , LOL . I think it’s just a defense mechanism whenever she is corrected or someone disagrees with her … she just seems to be looking for fights
pardon me, im pretty sure i am allowed to express my opinions as everyone else I do not Trash Tre anymore then everyone else here who trashes Jax, Caroline and Melissa
Some of the things you all say to me is quite astonishing I think that YOUR defense mechanism against someone who dosnt worship Tre
If my daughters discuss an issue with me that potentially affects our family then I don’t consider it gossip I consider it a “heads up Mom”. Much better for Papa Gorga to hear it from his daughter than strangers .I think Teresa has known since day 1 that baby Joey found his bride at a strip club . Hence the reservations about Melissa. Whether that is acceptable form of employment depends on your family and background. Quite sure Momma and Papa were on high alert for gold digger.
Additionally losing one’s house to sonny boys business venture cannot have made for great family relations. MeHo’s ambitions and keeping her happy is Joe’s priority. If that means backstabbing his sister to get on a TV show then so be it. Joe wants to run with the big dogs and was willing to sign a mortgage that he could not justify. The worst for me is airing the senior Gorga finances knowing full well that Joey Jr is actually responsible. Very sad.
I wonder how the SR Gorgas feel about Juicys drunken behavior, his calling tre a c, whore and slut his creative shady business deals, the fact he went broke because he is a crook and a cheat, the alleged affairs the forging a license when he had his revoked and now is facing jailseems to me being worried about a dil who was a stripper would be the least of the Sr Gorgas concerns id be more worried about juicys behavior
At the end of the day they know Teresa will handle whatever comes her way. If Teresa chooses to forgive Juicy it’s on her and her alone. I’m sure the Senior gorgas are probably more concerned with the roof over their head. LOL, especially if they are counting on Joe to pay for it. That recording studio would have been a nice down payment on a property for the parents.
well I am sure Joey can handle his wife use to strip, But yeah you are right that is much much worse then a Sil heading to jail
I think if they can over look Joe’s misdeeds having a stripper past doesn’t look all that bad.
Family shenanigans is always overlooked. Imported shenanigans, not so much.
I dont understand how having a son in law wo a criminal is over looked yet a Daughter in law who stripped for a short time is a Sin. Nice double standard not that it surprises me any
Cyn – I don’t know if they can overlook Joe’s criminal behavior or having a DIL who may have been a stripper but they are the only ones on the show, besides the young kids, who have my complete sympathy.
Are you speaking about Carowhines SIL Jax cause Teresa isn’t going anywhere…she’s working her arse off to pay off the debt….
If it were just the stripping and MeHo was a good person I might agree with you . However IMO and I really have little proof but Joey seems desperate to please MeHo and indulge this JLO fantasy. He is in financial hot water fronting the big house, the fancy cars, the clothes, the recording studio. Far worse than any of that is that he has continually stabbed his sister in the back so his wife can have her 15 minutes. He has outed his parents circumstances for 15 minutes of fame. At the end of the day Teresa has her financial empire that she and she alone built. Teresa has her own brand. Whether you love her or hate her she has taken advantage of the advice and opportunities to salvage a life for her daughters. And it belongs to her even if Jo goes to jail. Teresa will be ok. Because she is a mother and she has to be ok. I’m sure the Gorgas are unhappy with Jo but they know Teresa is strong and will take care of business. What does Joey Gorga have? A wife who really cannot sing and a lifestyle of that consists of following Meho around from one crappy venue to the next while 15 people (probably 10 of which are family) . What is the benefit to their children.
This is a sham not a brand nor a business.
Ok.
Bam! PittyPat that was beyond perfect (clapping)
It’s funny, but being an in law myself… You have to stay out of your children’s business, just keep an open ear… Try to forget or forgive what you have just heard… If you don’t, you might lose one of your children… Smile to their face, and sometime cry a little alone.. It’s hard, your kids, grandchildren, you love them.. You sometimes don’t like your daughter or son in law.. But you let it go.. You keep the peace, and I might be sounding sappy, but it works, and in the end,everybody gets over it, and life goes on.. Been there done that… I have turned into my mother,
There is not a recording studio in the basement. That was a set built by Bravo. House is on the market. Basement is not finished at all.
Its my understanding from watching the show that the senior Gorgas and Guidices are old friends from the old country. That is how Juicy and Tre met – their parents are family friends.
In the real estate commercial business, people need to take out loans. When they sell the property, the loan is paid back to the family member first. The Gogo’s two homes are on the market to sell. Melissa already explained this on an episode.
Last year, in an episode or blog, Caro had said no one except Dina came to Tre’s
wine party. Guess someone was lying? I have “chemo brain” so perhaps I already wrote this, but they should put Caro on Mob Wives. I watched that show once and it scared me.
I realize posters are saying that Andy doesn’t like Tre, but I disagree. When I see Tre buying something expensive, it could be perks that Bravo gives her, and due to her contract can’t divulge that info. to appease Tre. With Dina, whom I like, Kathy, Jac, Rosie and Melissa, that could add some fuel on Tre’s side. It could be a fun show again. Caro needs some therapy since last season. She’s definitely not mentally sound anymore. I’m so tired of all the unnecessary fighting.
I understand commercial real estate. .A lender cannot lend money that exceeds the value of the projects under construction. The beach house and MeHo’s dream house market value is far less than the loan amount. If that is how commercial lending works how does the bank ever recover the loan? I imagine his properties were pledged as well. Sorry kids kiss your inheritance good-bye .
I completely agree Aint Pittypat. Kids tattle on each other all the time growing up, and adult siblings do not always get along. It a parent’s job to steer a middle ground. Teresa’s parents have eyes like the rest of us. IMHO they didn’t need Tre to tell them MeHo was a stripper, I am sure they could conclude that for themselves when she stepped in their front door.
I also think there is a disconnect in family values here. Teresa’s parents and Teresa seem to hold more traditional values I think then Joe.
Joe’s values begin and end with what little is between his legs
Since I found out what POS means, I had to ask.. I agree completely.. Joey was as low as they got at that point. I would be ashamed of him, if he were my son… Then I would shove my foot up his little arse..
She probably didn’t warn Melissa for the same reason that Melissa didn’t warn Teresa that Monica C was announcing that she was suing T and Joe at the prior Posche fashion show. You know, Melissa “I’m all about family” Gorga.
I disagree I think Angelo reached out to Bravo, and Kim lead Teresa into it, to get a little air time. We all know how badly Kim wants her air time. I don’t think Teresa could tell Melissa what will happen, they are under contract.
it was said that all of the wives were suppose to go to the salon and for some reason T was the only one that showed.
So it appears that bravo was setting up T also. As she says to Wacko in preview
Teresa knew nothing about it, you can tell my the look on her face….MANDY set her up the POS.
There is only one problem with your theory: Tre would know that publicly outing her sil would only serve to make her brother angrier at her. I believe Tre would gossip but I do not believe that she would do something to alienate her brother even further from her.
At this point, I actually believe that the theory that makes the most sense is Meho and Midget set themselves up to try and gain some sympathy from the viewing audience.
I agree Magdella. In the preveiew, the Hooker says she doesn’t trust the Kim’s. When Angelo approaches the table, the camera pans to Wacky. She looks pissed. Why? I really think the show is scripted. I can’t wait for Kim to call Stump a midget. I hope she spits on him.
Sometimes you “pretend” to be friends with a family member to keep the peace. Particularly with children involved. Its called being a grownup and taking the higher road.
Exactly.@lobstahmaht
Absolutely, except this is “reality” tv and if they don’t bring the drama, they won’t be on the show which at this point seems more important to them. And I mean all of them.
Lol Lisa, I hope that’s not what Tre wants, cuz, 1. icky and 2. Even if Mego n Joe get divorced, he’d just go get another even worse trick, and Tre and Mego would still see each other from time to time if their kids play together..
lisa from the looks of it tre was trying to shut it down……theres no reason for the manzos to have something to do with this…..but i smell her and jac eveywhere
I think I worote that prior to the show also night
I really think she sincerely didnt want to give her brother ammo and gossip about melissa
Here is my question. If Looker constantly states that she was never a Dancer or Stripper how can there be a “set up”? Also, why did she state that she only worked at a “bikini bar” for a few weeks and then produced a payroll sheet showing she worked every week for the entire 2003 year?
Honestly I could care less if she or Jac were strippers, call girls, dancer, private party girls. The point is all the lies that Lookers has told. There are so many out there direct from her that she can’t even keep the stories straight anymore. Just own what you did in the past on move on. The more you lie that worst you look as a person.
Im still skeptical about Jacqueline being a stripper.This woman is very insecure about her body-wouldnt even wear a wetsuit in Napa.AND she already had Ashley when she supposedly started stripping,so I would find the body not the same after baby hardly an excuse for her.Melissa I do believe was,just look at the way she walks around in those shorts made for an infant.
I dont think Jax could get a strippin gig in Vegas unless it was way off off off the strip. Even her younger body days still had to contend with her per-surgery face. But a brothel gig? I can see that. Not so much into perfection in those things.
I’m thinking Jax was a ‘model’ – at car shows, boat shows, hot tubs, etc. They walk around and talk to the men to keep them around to buy more stuff.
I think JaxAss gave out towels in the Ladies Room…..
Bahahaha
Isn’t Glitter Gulch off the strip? I thought it was in the old and crappy part of Vegas. Once when we were in Vegas, we walked down there and in broad day light, the barkers and pimps came right up to my husband. Creepy part of town.
I stayed at the Mirage, had a great time… But went to the old strip, and had a ball… It was the best night, so many crazy fun people.. I loved it! Those pimps are all over Vegas, no matter where you are… Giving out cards, I think they drive around with beds in a truck, maybe jac was in one of those.
It’s downtown on the strip and we had a blast there…
I’ve been to Sam’s Town which is quite a distance from the strip but it’s a complex in itself…the light show at night is awesome 
The day trip was enough for me. lol I always liked the fountain and light show at the Bellagio.
I loved Treasure Island show … It’s awesome, and the water show at the bellagio… I didn’t win, but the drinks are free…
I loved that light show too, and those fried twinkles weren’t bad either!
I told my dad that those cards were coupons for buffets and shows.
Your are so funny, did he go?
Yeah. He went about a week after we got back. I would have loved to have seen him on the strip just shuffling through those cards furiously looking for Celine Deon discounts. bahahaha.
Yeah. He went about a week after we got back. I would have loved to have seen him shuffling through those cards furiously looking for Celine Dion show discounts. My daddy aint as bad as June BooBoo when it comes to couponing but he will travel all across town to 3 or 4 different grocery stores to get deals so I knew he wouldn’t pass up a Las Vegas deal.
I remember Teresa once saying that when she met Jacqueline that she had a killer body. What we see now is not what there once was – kind of like me now that I think about it. LOL.
I think jac has great lower body, but the top of her is boxy… She will always have great legs, I know that type of body… Grrrrrrr, I wish I had those legs, no matter how much I work out, age has a way of telling me, hey you’re getting old..
Reece you made a very good point……..In my early 20s i loved my body (flashed ppl at marti gra was offered a job to dance ect…) 8 years later i was just like jax and the weird part i did gain weight but still skinny…..so i could see her dancing (i would have if it wasnt for my family;just dance)so i can see how she might have changed or its a great cover up.
Maybe Melissa wants that part of her past private I am sure we have all done stuff we dont want to talk about i know i will deny a few things out of shame or embarrassment .that i have done in my younger more foolish days. plus whose dang business is it if she stripped or not it certainly isn’t Chewbaca’s business she is just a noisey trouble maker
If you want your past to be private WHY go on a reality or scripted show that has a reputation of “outing” the past of cast members. Just Saying!
Yep, @ old NJ girl!
Well common sense tell you that however none of these people have any of that
right old nj?
I really do believe that Tree didnt want anyone to know that her beloved brother married a stripper. Its more fambily embarrassment for momma and poppa Gorga.
Agree. I think KimD set this up and didn’t tell Tree because she knew Tree couldn’t play it off.
Yep.
of course it was all Kim D. She just wants her face on the show.
I agree, you can see it on her face once she realizes what Looker boss is doing.
ITA. Teresa looked ambushed. The “Oh hell no!” face.
I agree MP….The difference between Melissa and Teresa? Teresa changed her mind 11 times regarding joining this show. Why? Because she didn’t want to have a negative impact on her family. 11 times she changed her mind.. even acknowledged by Andy. Melissa however didn’t bat an eye as to how it would affect her family.. immediate or extended because it was all about her. That goes for Joey as well. Even more evident of their agenda is that Melissa and Teresa were not getting along- as stated by Melissa herself.
I think Teresa could care less that they are on this show now. She’s over it. BUT, what she does have issue with, and most viewers, is Melissa & Joeys intent as to WHY they joined this show. Teresa has a lot of pride for her family, her family name and holds her parents close to her heart. If only Joey and Melissa did also.
Sunny, you are so right. Teresa has her faults, but she loves and will protect her parents at all costs. MeGo being exposed as a former stripper wouldn’t be something she’d want her parents to know. MeGo is mother to the Gorga boys who will carry on the family name.
Sunny,
I completely forgot about that… But Andy did admit that Teresa had to be asked many times over to be part of the show.. Unlike her brother, who swore to throw her to the wolves… Are you happy now Lil Joey, perhaps your wife will strip for you tonight, if she ain’t working somewhere else…pfffff… Foolish Man.
Of course, MP! Just look at her past behavior. EVERYTHING negative she has said about Melissa has only been revealed when outed by others (Caroline, her brother and Jacko). She definitely gossiped, but seemed pretty mortified to have that stuff thrown in her face on camera. She has never wanted to publicly acknowledge those things about Meho. Ever.
totally agree. No one wants to acknowledge that they little brother/son fell prey to a strippin gold digger although the cliche of a short shit being conned by a stripper into believing she loves him is quite amusing …
In an Italian family, that sort of woman is the one who is kept on the side
Chewbaca? Lol. So angry. It’s not Teresa’s business if Melissa sold her azz years ago just like Teresa’s finances aren’t Melissa’s business, but Melissa made sure that everyone watching knew it was public knowledge. Why shouldn’t her Hooker past also be public knowledge?
whose angry?
To Kim
In reply to your question, it’s probably due to the fact they have children.
IBS, What about Teresa’s kids? They’ve bashed Tre and Joe. Talked about their finances. She’s been called garbage in front of her daughter. Andy grilled Teresa at the reunion. But Melissa’s past needs to be sealed because she has kids? If kids are to be shielded, then Teresa’s should be included.
Lisa, I think most of us have done stupid things when we were young, but most of us were never strippers or call girls. Worked my way through college and didn’t do either to earn money.
I see notthing wrong w/ stripping at all as long as its just dancing…..i have a feeling mel was doing more jac looks like the type 2….
I agree Old NJ Girl – I’ve never lost a moment’s sleep over getting outed as an ex stripper………………………BECAUSE I WAS NEVER A STRIPPER.
If you do that, do that far from home. And don’t go on a reality tv show. The people who run strip joints are not nice. They exploit human beings. I agree with the other posters that Tre was not in on the Melissa outing. Her family’s reputation was important to her. The way Melissa dresses and has the wares on display all the time suggests a less than modest past. Bravo should not have run this. It’s a dirt sandwich.
Amen NJ. Teresa wouldn’t out her SIL. She knew the knives were out , why charge right into the fray? IMO Teresa does not have the time to run around Franklin Lakes stirrinh up shite. I would not discount MeHo she can gain the sympathy vote and finish Teresa off all in one fell swoop. Jaxstabber comes to mind as does the Don , after all they spent 2 seasons murmuring and fingerpointing about Teresa’s financial issues while there shenanigans never rated a mention. Now a stripper is about to be outed and Jax is probably glad it’s not her.
EXACTLY! I’ve been thinking the same thing. From Missy’s apparent (and to be seen) reaction, she had/has something to hide. Someone who didn’t, wouldn’t have gotten so upset and claimed to be “set up”. You’re not “set up” if there is nothing to be “set up” about! The dude had/has the goods on Missy. Normal reaction of someone with NOTHING to hide would have been, “Hey! Hi! How are you, I haven’t seen you since I worked at that “bikini bar, what’s going on! How is so-and-so, do you keep in touch with anyone? What are you up to now?!” Kiss/kiss/hug. Missy has also said that when she worked at a “bikini bar”, she did so in a tank top and shorts….no bikini? She was special? Or was she not allowed to wear a bikini until (allegedly) her “manager” bought her a set of bolt-ons?
I also don’t understand the problem with her being a stripper if she was – who cares? I don’t care if someone with a hot body swings around a pole to pay her bills. That’s her choice. Do what you need to or do it if you love it. I don’t have a problem with it. But the irony, for me, is that Missy think whoring herself out on tv is more respectable…..along with little Joe flashing his Gorga inch to the camera every chance he gets.
Kathy’s attempt at baked goods has to be a fu you to Bravo. No one is that lame. Do they have to market something?
Don Caro in the Tux and Man hands..haha.
That sign for KomaKathy’s baked sale always cracks me up!
“Hazelnut Something” everyone loves those …Lol
I’m wondering when she’s going to appear on QVC with her desserts. Wasn’t that one of her “exciting projects” a la Jac. I’m so tired of reading about her and Jac’s exciting products. Nothing there IMO.
well jac DM someone on twitter and said she is making millions with her other “projects”, YET she can’t sell a bottle of vodka?
Well, as someone who loves to bake and cook, I would love to see a book put out by Kathy.
My favorite is “TITIMISU” LOL
Great name, Fabelloonie!! Agreed, the titimisu gets me every time! Delightful treats that are shaped like fun bags(aka bubbies) maybe??
Great song…but I’m confused. Did you mean to post that under my comment?
Kathy’s poster is a trainwreck, but the “Titimisu” isn’t a horrible spelling error. The dessert is named after her mom, who is nicknamed “Titi”. That still doesn’t excuse the horrible handwriting, the terrible layout and the Hazelnut “SOMETHING”.
Those are named after Carowhine….
I am so done with BRAVO’s NJHW I had a poll from BRAVO on my facebook wanting to know who was ready for tomorrow night’s show and I said no way not with evil Carolyn still in the shows. Will listen to re-caps only. Teresa had nothing to do with outing the stripper. I am so sick of her being blamed for everything. Time to give it up, it’s now old.
Keep your chin up Teresa, it’s almost over…..
Two seasons of bullying is quite enough. I won’t watch the trainwreck but can get all the dirty details here. I am so ill that Bravo Andy’s agenda is all about portraying women as malicious , petty biches.
I second that Ain’t… I am finished.. But will get the juice here:)
My son’s band is playing at Six Flags next month…. and they’re 15 years old!!
You shouldn’t have posted that. Melissa might see it and want to open for them. Would scar them for life.
She wants to sing Rock Star.
Teresa is not good at reacting well to bullying and lies – she gets really confused and comes off as being an ass, but she’s really trying to process the situation. She’s not stupid or unintelligent but she’s socially awkward when she’s in the cross hairs.
That is good insight to explain Teresa’s inability to think fast. She obviously is intelligent and this tv show has just thrown her for a loop. I don’t think I wil be able to watch the lynching Sun. nite. Way too painful.
I have often wondered if Teresa has a mild speech processing disorder. It isn’t uncommon. My daughter was diagnosed when she was in college. She has great difficulty to this day when she is stressed . Speech therapy helps.
I think some of Teresa’s problem is she is thinking in Italian…. She’s doing much better now.
I am impressed that Teresa can restrain herself so admirably. IMO her stint on Celebrity Apprentice was revealing regarding her true nature. She knows how to play her cards close to her vest and not get sucked into the drama. I’m also impressed that she keeps moving onward and upward. She does not let her past or her shortcomings define who her.
I agree 100% Beth. I think she has been blown away by the viciousness of her “once friends” and the extend of their hatred for her. With no real reason and that they now are besties with Mel and Kathy. I think this & the BK has really made her guarded now and rightfully so considering everyone was in her business (Mel giving info to Danielle to out on the show) but yet they don’t want Teresa stating anything about them. There are people out there that are better at pen to paper than speaking their thoughts. I think Teresa is one of them.
Yeah, I mean, she gets frustrated and then angry on top of angry from all of the BS hurled at her that she literally shakes and grasps for the right words to defend herself and tell the bitches to go straight to hell. She just doesn’t get that far when its coming at her from all sides by ‘friends’ and ‘family’. Caroline has turned everyone against her and obviously demands their loyalty – they’re so chicken sh*t that they don’t want to be on Don Caro’s bad side. Bravo has really exploited this.
I have been thinking for some time that it really just boils down to her not knowing what they were doing. It’s so obvious she’s always confused. I’m sure when they would get together during the season and the cameras weren’t around the bullies acted different. I’m sure just to get things out of Teresa and use them against her. I’m glad she saw that and chose not to socialize with them all year. They seem to be running around with their heads cut off at times.
Did I read that right? KimG declined?! Did anyone check on her to see if she’s ok? She could’ve had a stroke. Or maybe she now has dementia. That’s just not like her.
I think KimG was NOT PLEASED when golden Prince Albie and rat king Critsufur manhandled her out of MeGo’s “50k Xmas Party 4 Charity!” She really looked like a fool at that party and Bravo did set her up to be cornered.
I agree and I was being silly. It was awful the way Albie and Critterfur treated her at MeGo’s Christmas party. WhoTH do they think they are?! The Manzos are a joke.
THAT was terrible! It was my first glimpse into the mob mentality of the Manzo’s. I was shocked.
That party was a freaken sham……
teapot shes the one who didnt want to leave and on top of that took monkia anther famewhore to be on tv.But the manzo where out of line and who does that,and to a friends mom….chris was so upset he may have lost his only friend.
I’m surprised they didn’t blame Teresa and I’m surprise Kim didn’t sue the piss out of MANDY and BRAVO…..
Kim G broke her hip swinging on the stripper pole. Otherwise we all know she would have had her chauffeur drive that Bentley into a plate glass window to gate crash that scene. Kim G has no shame just a lusty desire to be up in the drama 24/7. Think of all the stories she could have pimped out to her buddy Tom. Restylane don’t come cheap ladies. I always want to LMAO when people get all cray-cray and indignant about Teresa selling stories. Between Jax and Kim G, Meho and the make-up guy I’m quite sure there are other sources for leaks.
Kim G , the one with the short blonde hair, is indeed very wealthy. Her husband and Kim
separated a long time ago, but I gather it was a “honey” divorce….meaning one gets more with honey than vinegar. Her husband is a scientist and very brilliant.
ibs…really?
Um…where is Meho’s new video, the song is released BUT NOT THE VIDEO, there was only a sneak peek.
If is true that the Senior Gorga’s home was used as collateral for Joe jr.’s business and then lost as a result then we can expect that Teresa would be angry at her brother and MeHo. Angry enough to tell trusted friends? Angry enough to spout off? I would be. Of course this is speculation on my part. It explains Teresa’s actions if you have ever walked in those shoes.
Why do people get so animated when someone disagrees with them? So what if everyone thinks that Tre is bullied on and some don’t. I seems that some people on here are bullying (in rather crude ways) in reverse against Caro and Jax to a level much worse than they are on the show. This is my opnion and no one has to agree with but please respect it. Have a great weekend.
kay, some ppl are just very good at expressing their thoughts in writing.plus it may seem a little worse when your not infront of the person just chattting.but i do think caro is a monster. sorry….
According to some web-sites, Tre did not know what was going to happen at the fashion show. In fact, she took Melissa aside and told her that Angelo was there. I don’t think she would purposely do that to her family. She’s not that stoopid. And what JoeGorga said about his parents on television is disgusting. One should NEVER speak of their parents’ finances…Never! Kathy, Mel, and Joey keep saying how much they have worked to reach out to Tre, but on the show, it looks like the exact opposite.
And Kathy and her momma’s lil hard luck story about the shoe repair business was designed to make Pappa Gorga look bad too. In my mind, that was big time retaliation worthy but Tree has yet to dish out adequate crap to Kat over that lil stunt.
Right. And where are all of Kathy’s other siblings? What kind of shame is hiding there? I think it’s horrible how they use Rosie as the token lesbian when Kathy never supported Rosie’s life before.
How do you know Kathy never supported Rosie’s life before? I think I heard Tree say that once on the show; if that’s the only evidence . . .
puppeter i agree w/ you but i also feel rosie loves it….she seems sad,friendless,datelees and a wanna be famewhore like koma.
I just watched the after show with Teresa and Perez. She is talking about how emotional it was to see her brother after a full year. Then she says she couldn’t believe the lies that were coming out of his mouth. He accused her of telling their Dad about Melissa being a stripper.She denied it and took out her phone at the reunion and wanted to call their Dad. She said since then, she asked her Dad and he denied he ever said that to Tiny Joe. The whole time she was talking Andy was talking over her, very hard to hear, but at one point I heard him say, Stop Teresa they don’t know what your talking about. He is such a sneaky little child. Why is he not being forced to admit how fast and loose they played with the time line, and all the phony lies we already know about; makes him look like a supreme jerk off.
I definitely caught Tre’s confused look when he asked her why she didn’t invite Jax to the Fabellini party. Tre needs to get an agent to stand up for her like the pros do. Then she needs to let her agent to straighten Andy up. Come to think of it, she needs a good, Italian mob agent.
*Then she needs to let her agent go after Andy. (sorry)
LOL
I had given up on the ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ after the third season. I got sucked back in after my co-worker from Dish kept telling me about all the new drama this season. I’m now back in the mix with this show. I’m actually curious to see the reunion, and if they will put Joe in the hot seat to answer the mysterious phone caller in Napa. I set my Hopper to record the upcoming episode. I have a ton of recording space, so I’m ready for Bravo to bring on the reunions and “never before seen” episodes.
First of all, most people do have a past; it is called learning experiences, but they’re now learning consequences. It’s almost as if one is thrown into jail for having the least amount of pot on them.
Who cares? As far as the stripper scene that’s now showing on TV, I will take a stab at it and say it was all CaroDon or the blonde Kim with the long hair. Isn’t she a friend of CaroDon?
If Caroline wants her own show, why not ask all of her siblings to join? KARMA…
I have to add this: I know a lot of Italian families and NONE behave as the Manzo’s. Cursing was never allowed, but my girlfriends all had to go home and cook; even bread crumbs were made.
They also had two kitchens and only used the one in the basement. My friends were all A+ students; one a CEO of World Bank, one a VP of Chase, a designer of all medical drawings for the NCI, etc. They all went to college, brilliant and spoke beautifully. Their parents
all came over from Italy. Becoming an American citizen was very important for their children to learn.
“They also had two kitchens and only used the one in the basement.”
I didn’t realize that was mostly an “Italian thing” until I visited non-Italian friends’ houses or had them over to visit at our house.
Mag, In Italy, the immigrants that came over to Ellis Island cooked in a basement as they did in Italy. It was the coolest area to cook.
You need to visit my old family home. Kitchen upstairs, for displaying all the crystal and china and Christmas diner. One in basement for everyday use, Garage for frying fish and baking sweet bread, other goodies, and the one in the shed for my father to dry his pork products. and have his lob….LOL LOL Now people have sheds for storing lawn stuff, mowers and things, right? Well our shed was a working brewery. Beer, Wine, and moonshine where produced there. My grandparents house, gowing up I thought we where cool having a inground swimming pool in the basement, it was for formenting grapes…..LOL
” Beer, Wine, and moonshine where produced there. My grandparents house, gowing up I thought we where cool having a inground swimming pool in the basement, it was for formenting grapes…..LOL”
I love that! My grandfather made his own wine too, but didn’t have an “inground pool.” I should have asked him how he did that part of it.
IBS, I understand your point. I think there are a lot of cultures that feel that way when they imagrate here. My father and husband are both Euopean immigrants. They are very hard workers and have embraced their American citizenships. When Chuck used the term “that off the boat mentality” it killed me. It is so offensive to me.
Caroline thinks she came over on the Mayflower. Yes she is offensive because we are a nation of immigrants. The only people who aren’t off the boat are Native Americans. To bad Caroline forgot her roots and the hard work it takes to be a success. Of course I’m not sure caro has ever worked hard or accomplished anything other than being the psycho housewife on a reality show.
You said it!
Don Caro offends everyone, sd. Also, I’m surprised Olive Garden didn’t sue her! Does anyone know what happened in Punta where DonCaro’s babies were being sued for bashing in two police officers?
I never met anyone that says, “I dislike everyone first until they prove themselves.”
OMG>>>>>>
IBS, that is a Chuckie classic. Really tells you what she is all about.
IBS: I love your post. Although I am of Czech descent, my parents, too, did most cooking in out basement (cooler) …. and my mom and her 4 sisters made everything for the huge parties we hosted at our house (we had the largest basement, ha ha). I, being her only daughter, was expected to help. Everything was homemade, and I mean everything! IMO, “off the boat mentality” would be a compliment to me because it would signify that I worked my axx off and I knew how to save my money. Shame on Caroline.
Geez…. When Jacqueline’s psychic stated at the end of season 2 regarding Teresa that she see’s “daggers coming at her from everywhere” she wasn’t fibbing. Does anyone have her name & #? I need the winning Powerball numbers.
fauxmilania was tweeting about infertility issues.
Someone on twitter said that Simon Cowell should do the reunions.
I think it’s a brilliant idea. Simon says it like it is. He has balls and would
Never back down. Miss Andy is a wimpy snotty catty bratty girl.
Why do all these “stars” go on his stupid show? Thumbs down.
ANYONE would do better than Missy Andy. Anyone.
I would like to call Caroline, Cujo, Melissa and Kathy’s friendship as a “fake friendship”. The main vein in their “friendship” is their hatred for Teresa. They want to act like 15 year old’s and try to get her off they show by being little brats giving Bravo the ultimatum if Teresa stays, they go and as they fail to realize Teresa is the reason why Mel and Kat are on this show, plus love her or hate her, Teresa made the RHONJ so no Teresa, no ratings and If Cujo and Chucky get the boot, i can’t see their friendship with Mel and Kat survive and as on the RHONJ reunion article Caroline said her friendship with Mel is “so-so” and i think that Caroline’s using Mel as to get under Teresa’s skin like Teresa and Dina’s friendship get under Caroline’s. It’s just all smoke and mirror’s with “fake” alliance.
I agree with that. The ties that bind Caroline, Drunqueline, Kathy & Missy are questionable at best. No show for them (said in the Soup Nazi voice) if they don’t keep up the pretense of the “close” relationships they formed amongst themselves and only TO spite Teresa. Messy Missy is Caroline’s Teresa of the first 2 seasons. You know, “she’s so funny, so cute, such a ball of energy”. Missy better watch her back.
Besides all of that? Who moves TO Hoboken in their late 40′s early 50′s (Caroline and Al Sr.)? People move OUT of Hoboken in their 30′s when they’re “over it” and/or started a family and need more space, better schools, don’t want to live in a town full of 20 somethings. It’s a BTDT kind of a “town” that most love to love when they’ve freshly graduated from college and need to commute to the city or a surrounding area. It’s PARTY town for educated 20-somethings who can pull the rent, not Caro and Al.
They are moving there (or Caro is moving there) to be closer to Prince Albie and Crittofer. Fat Lauren will probably move too as she has no friends cause she is such a biotch.
You’re right! Hoboken is for ages 20′s and 30′s and can’t afford living in NYC. There is a
train that runs right into NYC.
ibs hoboken is just as much as nyc ,you just get a little more room
im dating somone who grew up in hobken,i roll my ass thinking that i will have to live there w/ the manzo…..
