September 25, 2012 5:00 pm From Bravo…
Hello Sweethearts!
I have to start by thanking you all! Thank you all for caring, for your wonderful messages, and tweets. Your support means the world to me!
I also want you to know that as much as I love, love, love the Team Teresa support, I get that you are also Team Family and Team Gorga and Team Everyone. And I love that too. You can love all of us or none of us. We’re all humans and we’re not perfect. I even get why some of you might like Melissa. Sometimes I like Melissa. If anything, you’re getting a good picture of what knowing Melissa is like: she can be fun and sweet and you think things are going to be good, and then she twists on you, lies, does something nasty, and you’re just like: why? Why couldn’t you just be all nice? Or at least all real? But whatever. I can’t change her. She is who she is. I’d like to say you know her true colors, but I think this is only the tip of the iceberg. I think she’s so worried about painting a certain picture of her present, glossing over her past, and trying to decide who she wants to be in the future, that she doesn’t even know her true colors.
Here’s one thing I know: you can’t lie to your fans. You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the media and they’ll still print your lies hoping to make money off them, but if you lie to your fans, eventually you won’t have them (or you’ll have to buy fake ones…). People will forgive your shady past, forgive your mistakes, but you have to be honest with them. They won’t forgive liars. I’ve known this since day one, and I’ve always told you all the truth. I tell you the things I can’t or won’t talk about, like open legal cases or my parents’ private business, but I never lie about them. I’m proud that you can go through all of my blogs and interviews since the very beginning and there are no inconsistencies and no lies. I might be naive about things and I don’t always have all the answers, but I remember where I worked, when I went to college, where I met my husband, who I’m related to, if I have an arrest record — all helpful for telling the truth!
I’m sorry my blogs are so long sometimes (I’m sure this one will be huge!), but I respect all of you enough to take the time to explain things like the magazine covers, like my family’s history, like what it actually says in my cookbooks, especially since other people like to just throw bombs — “She did this and I have the secret texts to prove it!” — and run away. You have all stuck by us these last four seasons through bankruptcies and sicknesses, family feuds and heart breaks, and I think you all deserve the truth.
So here are answers to the questions I got from you all the most this week:
Why was Joe’s brother Pete Giudice at the Fashion Show? (I got this one a lot!) Pete wasn’t there randomly alone. He came with his wife, my sister-in-law, Sheila, her sister, and a bunch of other guys. It’s a big event for our town every year and it always sells out. And yes, there are always guys at the fashion show – go back and watch any other year — remember Greg Bennett begging to sit next to me at the first one? — but our hubbies usually don’t come. I didn’t know Pete was going to be there or believe me, I would have dragged Joe along too!
Why did I go to the new salon with Kim D? Because she asked me to go with her. And it was just for make-up, not hair. And it wasn’t just some random place. They were a major new sponsor of Kim’s fashion show as you could see from their name on the step-and-repeat, Chateau Allure Salon. Kim’s fashion show raises thousands of dollars every year for charity, and I support it. So do all the other ‘Wives. I know Melissa now calls it a “trashy party,” but that’s only since she started supporting a competing local fashion show. And Melissa seemed pretty excited when Kim D. asked her to walk in the show last year… I don’t want to forget my old friends just because I got more popular and met new ones.
Am I friends with the people who owned the salon? No. It’s owned by Johnny Karagiorgis (@JohnnyTheGrk on Twitter) and his wife Penny Drossos (@PDKhair). I’ve met them at a few of my appearances, and they seem nice enough. I know they like me, I just don’t know them very well. I only heard after the fashion show that Penny and Melissa don’t get along, but like I said last week, I can’t keep up with everyone in our town that doesn’t like Melissa! All I can do is tell people not to talk about my family and excuse myself from the situation, which I do every time, even to Kim D! I have heard since then that Penny used to be a special needs teacher and has a Special Needs day every week at her salon where she pampers kids and adults with special needs, which is pretty amazing.
How does Penny know Melissa? I don’t know, you’d have to ask her. From what I understand, it’s actually Penny’s family member, not Melissa’s, who owned Lookers (weird thing to lie about). Maybe their argument is from something back then.
What kind of club is Lookers? I have no idea. I’m seriously confused. Melissa says it was a “bikini bar” but that she only wore a tank top and sneakers. Then she said Lookers was a club for “older men with money. You’re in a bikini, you hand them a drink, they’re like ‘Here’s $100 bill.’ I’d be stupid not to work there!” (Yes, Melissa, very stupid… I had no idea stupidity is why I had no money in college… I thought it was my morals…) She worked there a day, a week, a year, her family owned it, they didn’t, I have NO IDEA. Google the place at your own risk.
Why didn’t I warn Melissa about Angelo after I met him at the salon? I had no idea he was going to the fashion show too! I thought when he came up to me at the salon, that was it, and I could tell Melissa later. I didn’t want to ruin a nice evening at the event by talking about it that night. When Angelo showed up and came up to the table, my heart was racing. I don’t know anything about Melissa’s true past, so I had no idea if he was a threat or not, but I was prepared to defend Melissa if he said anything. But all he did was say hi and left. Left the table and then left the building (and I chased him down)! I never met the guy before that day. I didn’t even know his name, I walked around calling him “the bald guy” all night. And I was never near him, never next to him, nothing (or you would have seen it!). The first one to use his name was Melissa in the bathroom. She immediately started calling him “Angelo” — which looking back now is weird since she claimed she didn’t recognize him.
Why did Angelo say Kim and Teresa wanted to “blow the whistle” on Melissa? If you watch from the beginning of his conversation, you see that Angelo wasn’t talking about me and Kim first-hand because he didn’t know us. He was retelling a second hand conversation. He was talking about Johnny, the owner of the salon, telling him that “Kim and Teresa want to blow the whistle” on Melissa. That’s Angelo retelling Johnny’s opinion. Maybe he heard wrong, maybe Johnny did say that, I have no idea because I don’t really know Johnny either. Maybe Johnny thinks I would like to see Melissa taken down, but he’s wrong, I didn’t and don’t, and I never said anything like that to anyone. I know what it’s like to have your family betray you publicly. I would never wish Melissa’s family secrets to come out. Your family is supposed to be your rock. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
What about Angelo saying “Teresa knew”? Ask Richie Wakile about things coming out of your mouth like last week’s “Kathy tastes like fish” comment… I don’t know what Angelo was referring to, but he was very clear a week later in a taped interview that I didn’t know him and had nothing to do with it. I did NOT know Angelo, and I did NOT know Melissa was going to be “set up.”
What did I know?
Keep reading…
Who was the secret person texting Jacqueline? Good question. I’d like to know too. Especially since none of our “mutual friends” were at the salon that day and the party. And Jacqueline said she was going to send the texts to Melissa that night. You know those two would have put them on Twitter immediately. Why didn’t they? Please, tell us, because no one is buying the “you’re a loyal friend” excuse.
Why am I still friends with Kim D? First, maybe it’s because I still feel bad for how my brother treated Kim that night. You didn’t see the half of it. It was s-c-a-r-y. My brother knows it and he apologized to Kim at the reunion.
Second, it’s not just me still friends with her, it’s Caroline and Jacqueline too. Why aren’t they freaking out too and defending their new best friend Melissa? Maybe because like me, they don’t really think Kim D. did anything that terrible to Melissa. The worst thing you can say about Kim D. is that she knew a guy was going to say, “Hi, remember me?” to Melissa. That’s really not a big set-up in my opinion. It’s not openly evil, like appearing on the cover of a magazine (with my picture, thank you, thank you very much!) talking about me and my family and telling horrible LIES about me. So a good question might be why is Kathy still friends with Melissa after this week? I’m Kathy’s blood family after all. And Kathy was sooo hurt that I mentioned one of her husband’s insults to me, which she admitted he did, in an interview.
She’s not upset by Melissa’s recent interview lies? And why is Melissa spreading lies now? I know why, but you’ll have to wait until the reunion to see it. PS: Is her Victim Tour 2012 over yet? Anyone?
So, last question: What’s the big deal with Melissa dancing or not dancing anyway? Like I said last week, and I said on Twitter right after the fashion show “leaks” about the “set-up” — it is no big deal. You know, I’ve been around the Housewives franchise for a while now, and I’ve seen this before. And no one ever cares. Doesn’t every city have an ex-stripper? NeNe admitted she was a stripper. No one cared. Bethenny’s topless B-movie came out. No one cared. And they are the two biggest Housewives ever. Even if Melissa was a stripper, I KNEW no-one would care. If I wanted to “embarrass” Melissa, it wouldn’t be for something no-one cared about!
My guess as to why Melissa is so hot and bothered about this whole non-ambush thing?
Because it’s probably only the tip of her past’s iceberg. Maybe there’s something else Melissa did back then that she wants to stay hidden because people WOULD think is a big deal, especially since she’s a mom now, especially if she still does it… I don’t know, and I hope never to know!
I guess I’m actually thankful this all happened now because when the real Marco skeletons come out, I’ll be far far away from her and she can’t try to blame me for those too.
OK, last question…
Finally, yes, I did see Melissa’s US Weekly interview. Is that 3 weeks in a row now they’ve put me on the cover? It’s amazing to me how many times US Weekly uses me to sell magazines when they’ve only sat down and interviewed me ONCE back in Season 1. My favorite was when they just reused the exact same cover picture that In Touch used 6 months earlier. That’s an amazing reporting team right there…
I hear those of you who say I deserve it, that I did the same thing. It’s easier to say when you’re not in the world of tabloids and television ratings, but I do want to explain how I handle it the best way I can. What Melissa and the other women accused me of all season was basically running the magazines and having complete control over everything. We all know that’s not true. Even though Caroline mocked me for the headlines, she knows, we all know, they write something to sell.
I know Melissa didn’t write the US Weekly headline. I know she didn’t even get to pick which shot of her (or me!) they put on the cover (at least I hope she didn’t choose that shot…). I know Melissa can’t control what “sources” say in the interview. She doesn’t even know if her “story” will make the cover until it comes out. I don’t blame her for any of that. I don’t even care if she made a million dollars for the story. All I can hold her responsible for is the actual quotes that come out of her mouth. Read all my old interviews. Tell me what I actually said that was untrue or even hurtful. I talk about how I feel, I tell the truth about my life. I wish I could say the same about Melissa, but I can’t. Her lies are absolute garbage and right from her mouth. That, at least to me, is a huge difference in how we handle being in the press.
I got a million calls from the press for my response, and I’ll be honest, I didn’t want to talk to anyone. But obviously they are going to write about me whether I give them quotes or not, whether there’s any truth to it or not. There was a time when I was really upset to be in the magazines, when it was all new to me. But this is my life now. I’m on television, it comes with the territory. But I don’t have to stoop to their level. I can tell my truth and still have something positive come out of it. So I decided while everyone’s waiting to hear what I have to say (because they won’t always care), I’ll use this opportunity to also tell people about good things, about good causes.
Last year, right after the fashion show and Season 3 reunion, I entered Celebrity Apprentice world. I went to several charity functions with the Trumps and got to know about NephCure. I had never heard of them before and I was really excited about the possibility of bringing some much needed national attention to a great cause. I worked so hard to stay on as long as I could so as many people as possible would learn about NephCure. I think I helped them, but in a lot of ways, they saved me too. Raising money for people with real problems, for sick little kids, saved me from falling into a pit of self-pity from the way my family and friends treated me all season. It felt so good to be away from the tiny little bubble of New Jersey Housewives who have nothing better to do with their lives except obsessively text about secret texts… to use my brain and my business skills and my experience up against 18 other unique, talented and accomplished people. It felt so good to get outside of myself.
No, I haven’t really seen or spoken to the other Housewives and my brother in almost a year. And while that made me really sad, on a lot of levels I really flourished being away from their negativity. My kids are doing amazing. I celebrated my 40th birthday on an island with my hubby and my closest friends. My third cookbook hit the New York Times bestseller list. My Fabellini and Milania hair care line was launched. And my heart is full as I continue to work with NephCure.
So I decided to do a magazine interview… but only if they would also talk about NephCure. Because at the end of the day that’s what’s important: being a good person and helping other people, not letting haters drag you into the mud with them. I hope you’ll buy my magazine interview story because it really is my words, and I hope you will support NephCure (www.nephcure.org) or whatever charity helps you save others… and yourself.
Thank you all for being there for me and making me a better person! I love, love, love you all!

Preview of upcoming RHONJ Reunion, Part I…
Theres more in this blog…..
Did anyone else notice how in the bathroom she immediately turned on me when I told her not to call my brother (which by the way, if my whole evil plan was to out her to my brother so they’d get divorced, I would have welcomed him coming down!) and reminded me I had “nieces and nephews at home.” She always does that, she always uses her kids to hold me hostage. She keeps me away from my family. I can’t win for losing with her. She says I should never have told her about the guy, then that I should have told her earlier. I’m damned if I do, and damned if I don’t. You could see how used to this I was, her readiness to twist this to my brother, to hurt him and me. She doesn’t care who she hurts. I know my brother’s temper and I didn’t want him to get in a fight and go to jail. Why wasn’t she concerned about this??? She was begging him to come, then she blamed me for him coming! She will use anyone.
I didn’t know until I watched the episode that Melissa was egging my brother on in the car. She didn’t want him to drive away. She had no proof of anything, she wasn’t even really “ambushed,” but she had the perfect opportunity to get my brother to hate me. So she took it and ran with it. She told him to roll down the window and she knew exactly what to tell him that would push my buttons: “Tell your sister ‘Shame on you!’” She kept repeating it, even under her breath as we were talking, “Say shame on you! Say shame!” That, to me, is sick. It’s not me watching a lie from Caroline or a rumor. It’s me watching Melissa in action. Sick, sick, sick.
Thanks, Lene!
Teresa let out a big hint about the Marco skeletons coming out. I truly think that she knows alot about them but won’t say what it is because of her brother. And she is right, she let this out because she knows there is things that are much much worse out there.
The only thing I heard (on MANY sites) is that the marco father was addicted to some form of a drug or alcohol, and that was a part of the car accident he got into. I think her father had issues, but anybody who’s dealt w/ a family member with any form of serious problems, once they die, you love them.
Everything else, Teresa knows and isn’t saying.
This part in Teresa blog really gets me:
reminded me I had “nieces and nephews at home.” She always does that, she always uses her kids to hold me hostage.
In Missy’s blog she says I have to do whatever it takes to protect my family because I am a mother. She doesn’t say I am going to call my husband she says I am going to call YOUR brother. She doesn’t say I have 3 kids at home, she says you have nieces and nephews at home. Everything is always centered around Teresa, clearly she spends a lot of time thinking about how she can hurt Teresa.
Agree!
Wow! You guys if you haven’t read this, it is a must read from FameWhorgas!
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/2012/09/25/rhonj-producer-says-teresa-giudice-did-not-setup-melissa-gorga-at-the-posche-fashion-show/
There is a LOT of insider info on there that just confirms everything! This part was interesting from RHONJ production supervisor:
“Angelo actually went and approached the table before his interaction with Melissa and was stopped by security at the table and turned away. Melissa saw him at this point. She didn’t wanted to let on she knew in front of the cameras, but she texted her husband under the table to come to the fashion show and let him know what was going on, and she texted one of the producers who let her in on what was going to happen and who was coming over to say hello. Everyone but Teresa was being fed by the producers; they texted all the wives, except Teresa, and told them why Angelo was there, and that Angelo had told Teresa at an earlier time that Melissa was a stripper and he was there to embarrass her. To avoid getting their conversation on camera, the woman all texted each other under the table.” – Former RHONJ Post Production Supervisor
Former lead producer Cat Rodriguez misled the cast, telling them Teresa knew in advance that Angelo was coming to the fashion show to embarrass Melissa. Then, in the final edit, Bravo used crafty editing and sub-titles to give the impression that Teresa was in on the setup. For Teresa to setup Melissa, she didn’t need the encounter at the salon; in fact, the encounter at the salon is why the cast and some viewers believe she orchestrated the setup.”
Thanks for posting. This totally fits with what I saw onscreen.
Cat the Producer’s part in this is clearly outlined as well. Sounds as if a kitty cat was desperate to please her unhappy boss.
LOL!! Also when reading it I was like d**n Kim G was telling the truth in those tweets last year!! I thought that she was being a little cray when she said that they asked her and Danielle to come as a set-up, but according to this person it’s true!! The peeps over at Bravo HAVE to be squirming right about now!
It appears Cat did this for her dear friend Melissa who was being mistreated by mean ole Teresa. Cat was replaced/fired and Melissa is on tv, hawking her lies — sorry, Cat, but I am sure Melissa appreciates all your efforts for her.
Go-go Joe and Cat do anything for Melissa. She must be really good in bed.
You can take a girl out of Lookers but you can’t take Lookers out of a girl…
It appears MeGo forgot that she had kids at home while she was off messing around with kitty Cat. Oops, and a husband…
Yep, now it all seems to fall in place w/ what we saw. Of course, we will hear all kinds of things from the others as to why these people are lying or whatever, but one things for sure: Truth wills out….eventually. This seems to be coming out pretty quickly. Wonder what that nitwit Wendy Williams will have to say about the new revelations from people behind the scenes.
Guess Melissa and the others never had their moms tell them: Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive.
Thanks for posting, TV Junkie! Coming from a former RHONJ post production supervisor, that carries a lot of weight.
I’m not surprised Cowoline, Calfface and Wacko fell for Rodriguez’s BS. She was telling them what they wanted to hear.
I wonder if they knew Melvin and Cat were (allegedly) having an affair?
That is pretty much what has been said on this site for the whole season now.
I am confused though. When I first came here, this was the only site I could find where the bloggers have seen this all along. If you look now the even the Bravo ” Carolyn your so classy” posts have turned into “carolyn you disgust me posts”…and the same can be seen from this link (posted) and the comments there too.
So why then is Mrs. Andy still going along with this and still continuing to ride the “hate Teresa” train? Even on the show when Kelly and her husband were on, Kelly began saying that friends talking about money, tabloids, etc shouldn’t be said and Andy kept on ….yah but she did this, she did that, blah blah blah. He couldn’t stand for anyone to allow any sympathy for Teresa even then.
So again why go along with this anymore – doesn’t Bravo see that this has all resulted in the exact oposite of which they intended? Wouldn’t it be better to fix it and at least try to shift the negativity off Teresa and be someone unbiased or even slightly sympathetic towards Teresa at all this season? Seems like poor decision making to me….I just don’t get it. Unless they tried something, it failed and they feel like they need to stick to their guns now and not admit total failure and appologize to the viewers or even loosen up this approach they have had.
Our reaction is probably exactly the result they hoped to achieve. They want to bring out strong emotions in their viewers which for them probably means ratings! They will gladly take the role of the unfair representer as long as it will make people boil inside lol. I bet they count on us feeling the way we do and asking the question that we do. They dont care about Manzos or Gorgas; they use them while they can. Garbage bin comes afterwards))
yeah agrees, besides it easier to replace one cast member (tre) than the rest, they have invested in Carowhine. They did the same thing with Jill, then fired them all and NY is not getting the ratings now. Anyone with half a brain could see it was a set up by Bravo, Someone on twitter said last night Tre was getting her own shown? Also that Meho posted her teaching credentials.
I’m not a fan of the “get her/his own” spin offs. I am yet to see a character dynamic enough to carry an entire show. I don’t even know if it is possible. The spin-offs so far have been just “meh.” Tre has spunk and she has Milania. So she may very well be getting a show and it maybe entertaining) or not..
.
If Meho posted her teaching creds then good for her. Doesn’t mean she wasn’t hitting the pole after work though. Personally, I don’t care either way
I have a theory…
The attempt at getting to Teresa may be because in Season 1, Joe Juice made a comment, used a slur that is used against gay people. Teresa defended Joe, but I don’t think it helped. Season 2 is when things started to turn I think, but BRAVO also thinks Teresa can be duped/made fun of, etc., so I think they went with that. I think BRAVO is upset about that, never got over it, and do what they can to keep storylines going while pushing their own revenge.
Note: Not saying Joe was right in his comment. I think it’s the fact that he used it at all on TV when BRAVO holds a quite different opinion.
Oh, my gosh — this article is HUGELY important! There’s so much more, and it explains EVERYTHING! Thank you again for posting about it!
Oh, yes…thank you TV Junkie…I didn’t mean to imply to wasted your time or that the link was not insightful…sorry! I was just caught up in my total confusion at the moment as to why this charade is able to continue
Andy has been out to ruin Teresa since her dingbat husband used the word “gay”. Its very unprofessional IMO! I cant understand Bravo, shareholders either? Hes ruining what has been a very heavy money maker for them. Hes who probably gave the ok from the start. Hes the one whos disgusting and me feeling that way hasnt a dang thing to do with him being gay.
Why didn’t Andy call out Joe Gorgas for calling his sister and Kim D. “Butt -Buddies “? The reunion for Season 3 was the next day yet NO person said anything about it. They said nothing about it all year. DISGUSTING!! Yet Teresa has been crucified for something her husband said in season 1.
Not to long ago I sat down and did a (sort of) pro and con list for each housewife. Something I do in my everyday life when I’m on the fence about something (What can I say, I’m a Libra and have to balance everything out). My lists showed that they all have lied, trashed, talked about and done not so nice things to each other. BUT at the end of the lists it was Tree who came out ahead of all the others.
The biggest point was that after all the trouble she got into ($$) she didn’t sit around and cry for 2 seasons, she got out and marketed what was at her doorstep. Used the fame to promote her products and worked her butt off. Something I find hard to see any of the other ladies doing. I saw week after week family and friends (including her hubby) treat her like sh*t and she took it all and kept on stepping. I don’t think I would of been able to hold out that long. I would of either gone off the deep edge or start showing up to events with a 2×4. That takes some serious energy to be able to hold back as long as she did.
Tree isn’t a saint and has done stuff also, but she learned from it and moved on and regrouped. Regardless if she has PR peeps, she is listening and following the course, which is only adding to more fortune for her and her family. She has the guts to address her marriage and questions people are asking of her. Something the others have not done.
If put in the same place, the others would crumble, they could not endure the abuse that would come their way on National TV. Back when Missy and Co. came on Tree said in one of her TH that the true colors would come out and they have.
Good luck Tree to you and your family. I will support anything you do.
GREAT POST!
Wonderful. Who hasn’t been in a tough spot but how many climbed out of it and up the ladder to success with such grace and courage? When I hear Jaxstabber try to justify her treasonous behavior towards Teresa I have to think she doesn’t even understand the magnitude of her loss. A loyal friend like Tre is irreplaceable. A few lousy dollars will not replace the heart of a good friend.
If Caroline was worried about how fragile Jaq was after the fashion show, she better get over there with the smelling salts and her life coach and a big bottle of Jaq’s favorite when the truth starts coming out and Jaq KNOWS she was used in the worst way…..AND happily went along with it with no proof and nary a word to Teresa to verify anything. She may NEVER admit her wrong doing, but inside she will know as we all do just what she did. Never thought I would be quoting Caroline, but ……Jaq, YOU are a disgrace.
Jac already knew Misszippity… And she enjoyed hurting her friend.. She hates Teresa winning, the more she backstabs Teresa the more we want to protect her.. Teresa has gotten more fans, just by the acts of these women… It backfired….
I would not have been able to hold up under her circumstances either. Really, I am often surprised at many of the women on all the shows. I would only need one show, inside of one episode, with conflict and being accused of something I did not do, to decide I was done. If I am in conflict with someone in my life that I really care about, it takes a toll on me. How any of these ladies are able to step up to the plate over and over is beyond me. Even Caroline, she has been so hated, for so long, how she faces each day with everything coming at her, and chooses to continue on the show is beyond my ability to understand.
i feel exactly the same way about tre — well said! i was not a fan of hers until this season — but she has so much impressed me — she’s working her butt off to support her family and make $$ — that’s all that’s important to her — and the other bullies on the show keep calling her fake because she’s saying ‘it’s okay’ — and tre herself said she chose to put a positive face on for her kids and i think that’s to be applauded not lambasted as fake — i’ve always lived by people will interpret your circumstances according to how you react to it — she was being brave and strong in what must have been terrifying circumstances — i’m sure she cried herself to sleep many a night — and her castmates (i refuse to ever call them her friends again) tore her down for it — i personally am supporting tre’s products and books because she has inspired me :O)
I know how you feel – thought she was horrible after the Danielle situation. Now, I feel like I want to send her flowers! She sure has issues, but I have seen growth and that is what counts.
Your post was like reading my mind! We ALL have problems and some have it worse than others. But it wont help anything to lay aound crying “whoa as me” get up, dust off, & GET ON WITH IT!
If a person isnt able to do this then seek help. We all aren’t strong enough to do it alone. No shame there. What is shameful is those who only want people to say “aww, poor you!”
Evryone has a hard time story if they are past 10 yrs old usually. Geezzz!
I agree, great post and right on point.
Teresa needs to add a line of barf bags to her catalog. I’d buy them to use after reading her blog.
I have a great idea, don’t read her blogs. No reason to get urself ill.
Boy I’ve missed you Antonella !😎
Love it !!
Hehehehe!!! Good advice!
Or you can be like Chris Manzo where we can all hear it and enjoy it.
Be sure to have a giant scrapple burger and vodka chaser first. It will taste wonderful the second time around.
On second thought, the barf bags would probably sell out. I can see the airline companies lining up to buy them for their fleet of airplaines and air craft. Ka-ching another million dollars for Teresa. A blinged out barf bag, bars could sell them to their customers so you can look good barfing in da club, you know some of us drink to much anyway. Then Super T can corner the european, asian, arabs market, ka-ching more millions who would have thougt there was a market for barf bags. The thing is if Teresa does make barf bags we couldn’t live without them. I think we’ll pass on the barf bags, but maybe you should pass this great little tip on to Teresa’s thirsty enemies, you probably need a barf bag after drinking black water–I would think so, how about you?
In the words of Wm. Shakespeare, beware the man that protesteth too much! For sure, there is no way that Theresa wrote this blog or any others. It’s funny, isn’t it, that the only Mrs. Giudice can raise herself is always at the expense of others. THIS IS NOT A NICE PERSON – OR, EVEN A GOOD PERSON. Good does not let their child appear on national TV when they are going thru severe emotional turmoil . . . I do feel sorry for the children and only time will tell the true price of fame when these kids are a bit older and get to see their childhood played out this way.
Don’t stress too much over Tree’s kids cause no one knows what the future holds for anyone’s child. I do think we can safely say that Chuckie’s kids are complete and utter failures. Oh, let’s not forget Asslee, she’s a mess too.
And does JakAss’ kids get any time and attention. With all her drunk tweeting, pill-popin, secret text readin and hidden special projects she’s working on.
haha, so true. I think that’s why BubbaJax always has adult supervision in the form of Chris or Chuckie with her
Shouldn’t sJax be spending extra time with her autistic son?
Maybe he’s not autistic, Ashlee just taught him how to tune out BubbaJax.
Oh snap! good one
ha ha you nailed that one.
and the manzo/laurita clans don’t have this show to blame. The already came on the show as failures of their upbringing.
I assume you feel even worse about Jacs blog. She protesteth way more.
You’re clearly a non-Teresa fan, but let’s not be bias. The same sh*t you’re saying about Teresa can be said about the other ladies. By the way, let’s not talk about other people’s children or criticize them because after-all they are children and did not ask to be on the show, they have no choice due to their parents’ decisions.
Emotional turmoil? Dramatic much? I think the Giudice kids miss their uncle and cousins, but I would not call what’s happening “turmoil.” Also, why do you not hold Melissa to the same standard? If you find her nice and good even when she puts her kids on TV, I find you hypocritical. If you hold one to a certain standard, hold them all in the same light. That goes for Caroline and Jacqueline, too. Ashley is a child in turmoil, and her mother put her “on display” for ratings. I hope you don’t find her “nice” or “good”…
In parting, if you choose to quote Shakespeare, please quote him accurately. But, I guess “better a witty fool than a foolish wit.”
I wonder what Antonia will feel like when she is old enough to find out that she “cock blocked” her daddy from filling her mommy with POISON! That poor little girl. What role models she has. She will be dressing like a little stripper and rubbing her body up against anyone with a stock portfolio and her boys will be chasing anything with a skirt to “release the poison” ew.
Agree, agree, agree. Tree rocked that blog. I will buy the mag. Melissa does have the stripper look. Scraggy face, good body, nose for coke. Don’t know why she doesn’t own it. Yes, something in her past she’s trying to hide.
I hope that BRAVO plans on bring on MEHO’s former “friends” who she distanced herself from once she became “famous”. That would be the ONLY reason why I would watch S6…The TAKEDOWN of MEHO. Perhaps BRAVO is smarter than we think. Ratings at any cost!
Something in Teresa’s PRESENT from which she’s trying to deflect everyone’s attention.
Downsize and pay your bills Teresa.
Yeah, that’s what she’s been doing and they’re giving her grief for it.
Remember when Melissa lied and said she was Ralph Macchio’s cousin? #delusional
LOL
If u want to be fair, perhaps you should include the Lauritas, Wakiles and Gorgas in ur downsize and pay ur bills mantra
Ant, pay no attention to her, that comment is from someone that waste money on her dinner and barf bags instead of taking your suggestion and just not read the blog. What does she know about saving money.
Haha, fify, it’s clear to me that TO is one of Tre’s biggest supporters dying to get out of her Archie Bunker body.
Why are you attacking me? I will quit posting my opinion if SH asks me to. Otherwise, DON’T ATTACK ME!
I’m not attacking u. I love reading ur insightful analysis.
Wow, fify!
Tangy,
Not meant as an attack. I was just being silly. Sometimes the human side of a comment gets lost on me, so I am sorry. It was not personal. I have nothing against anyone, and would not like the site if everyone had the same thought.
Shes doing GREAT! No need to stress! Thats why thry don’t like her. When all the money trouble started they thought she would cry help me so they could feel important. WRONG!!! Over and over they ” i do not know how she does it?” it eat them up! And still does!
Right, Tre faced it all and is coming out the other end now. She makes, what, 500k from the show? She made something from Celebrity Apprentice, and she is selling her cookbooks and Fabellini , so I think it is quite alright for her to buy nice shoes. She can’t show up for everything lookin like a Target add, that distinction goes to Caroline.
wait whats wrong with Target clothes
Target has some cute stuff really. And Im a big fashion whore….so I know whats expensive and whats not. Aint no shame in yo game, dragon.
You are one dumb ass TangyOrange Marco and irrelevant, ha, ha.
Speaking of paying bills, vile Ritchie Wakile owes his landscaper for a years worth of service. When the guy tried to collect, Ritch told him to F off, then told the guy “sue me!” The guy sued. The guy won. Rich has to pay. Sucks to be Rich.
Run Rich Run. See Rich Run. (I had to add this at the end. My post was starting to look like a “Fun With Dick & Jane” book from the 1960′s that I used to have to read in school!)
I have a SIL who is just as Teresa describes….. Basically no matter what you do you can’t win with people like that. Years ago, me and SIL were planning a Fathers Day Celebration which included our fathers ( mine was dying of cancer at the time) and other family coming out of town for the event to be held at my house. While planning the menu, I asked SIL what her father liked to eat and I was told ” don’t plan on him, he probably isn’t coming” to which I said ” well hope he does” and left it at that. The day of the event SIL went around crying and whinnying to everyone that I had not included her father ..( he didn’t show up as she predicted) . It was drama, drama, drama… It wasn’t my fault he didn’t come but she didn’t bother to tell everyone what she had told me earlier… I told her off and cut ties then and there. I had had years of the same and was sick of it. So I totally understand Teresa’s point.. One minute their all nice and the next “whammo”…..I am not perfect nor is Teresa, but enough is enough. You get tired of trying and everything being your fault. Why did Jax warn Meho? She said she knew it was coing. Why is it Teresa’s fault? Just like my SIL, Teresa’s can’t keep her lies staight. That’s why I feel for Teresa and will continue to root for her. I have less material things than SIL but way more friends and people like me…. She can’t stand that and will stop at nothing to discredit me no matter what I do.. She spins it her own way… Just like Meho and her “victim tour” .
I meet dozens of women each week and almost everyone has some kind of similar family feud scenario to share. It’s completely normal for human beings to dislike other human beings, I don’t get why MeGo, Kathy, Caroline, Jacqueline, The Manzo Kids, the Husbands et al make such a big effing deal over Melissa and Teresa having arguments. They don’t like eachother! Whoooo cares! Sometimes people have disagreements, it doesn’t mean we all have to pick sides and make war. This entire season is an over-reaction fueled by production. Even if the producers hadn’t ever fabricated the PFS scandal & gave Melissa her mild Kim Kardashian moment, the cast would still be talking in code about disliking how Teresa behaves. Why hasn’t anyone examined WHY they dislike Teresa?? Just say it how it is ladies, or have we all figured out yet that if they revealed what they really hated about Teresa, they’d just be labeled as jealous a-s haters. Andy Cohen – the perpetual man baby – better ask that flipping question at the reunion or I’m going to flip a table then pray over it, too. Maybe it’s just cause we are both Taurus’ but I totally feel for Teresa, even though I don’t find her especially sympathetic. I would have head butted a lady or two by now.
I have my own story too..I have mentioned in the past here. My thorn was my cousin but I squashed that bug and haven’t looked back. She fancies herself as a miss goody two shoes but is very sneaky, my aunt told me that. She lied to her parents about me during college, as family they wanted us to room together as we were attending our grandfathers alma mater. My Mom called me to inform me what happened and told me not worry, they were done with cousins bs too. She enters my life after marriage and the birth of my child, now I realize she did this because my Dad had purchased for our family a beach condo on St. Simons Island. She just wanted to take advantage of the condo and started a new relationship with me. I a not the type to hold a grudge so I accepted this on face value, I don’t practice being clever and cunning and using people. After my Mom passed in 2008, we were pretty tight, hanging out, etc. This bitch started trying to feed me negativity, I let her slide no cause it really didn’t matter to me what the hell she thought. Then she called my Dad who already pissed at me about something and when I called him that evening he raised his voice at me and asked why didn’t I answer cousins calls. Well you nknow it was on then–I am not taking crap. this was last year, cousin called me the other day and left a message, she was trying to clear the air about coming for homecoming weekend but she sounded to resentful like she was doing something she really didn’t want to do, all I could do was laugh. Well cuz has been poisoning other family members and college friends against me. The all fell for her victimization. Then the started thinking about how generous I’d been and nice and loving. They got together.
Tree,
Love,
Made
I’m showing my age again, but does anyone remember an episode of the Twilight Zone called “The Masks”? A dying man gathers his family members around and they have to wear masks. At the end, their greed, etc is so great that their real faces take on the look of the masks they were wearing. This is what the BullyTeresa gang remind me of. :
A very old and sickly rich man is waiting to die. Instead of enjoying his final days in the bosom of a loving family, he is beset by greedy and selfish relatives waiting for him to die like a pack of vultures. Make no mistake about it, the old guy knows exactly what they are like and has no illusions about their intentions. So, in a final gesture of contempt, he makes them spend an entire evening at his home “celebrating” while wearing grotesque Mardi Gras masks–resulting in a wonderful and satisfying twist.
I remember that! Especially the mask with the upturned nose, ha.
I understand you comparison.
i love the old Twilight zone episodes i wait all yr for the NYE marathon
me too ! big brunch NYE morning, long naps and big trays of deli with twilight zone on the tube all night!
They do the for almost every holiday! Check their fb page or syfi’s website, it makes even the lamest excuse for holidays so much more enjoyable!
Heres where im confused. Teresa is one of the big players. ( like bethenny, nene and possibly kim) All these people have gotten preferrential treatment. Bethenny gets her own show, gets to leave gracefully, nene gets all the attention, and kim got her own show. Where is teresas preferrential treatment. She is a cash cow! She gets beaten down to a pulp, all of her personal business is exposed while others are hidden. I mean talk about kicking a horse when they r down… being italian myself i find it very insulting and disrespectful what they do to her.
The reunion looks roughhhh, oh man. OH! I alost forgotsies. Did anyone notice mehos dress on the reunion?? Its the SAME EXACT style dress that tree wears in her interview where she looks like a bird and is ready to take flight. Copy cat!
Almost** Looks like i forgotsies how to spell there for a sec
I think Melissa wears the same clothes because she thinks she looks better in them than T does and wants the favorable comparison. Like those magazines that do the “Who wore it best” column.
Im with you on that, gilly.
Actions will ALWAYS scream louder than words!! And Mehos actions are proving Teresa RIGHT!
She continues to be beaten down by Andy because of his gay agenda. Joe Giudice made some anti-gay comments and Teresa has been suffering for it ever since.
Andy plants Big Gay Greggy in the show to further antagonize Teresa and bully her.
According to the blogs and recent stories out there, Cat Rodriguez is gay and there were rumors that Melissa and Cat had an affair while filming, so it’s pretty obvious that Cat has a gay agenda also.
All the other cast members were kissing up to Andy and Cat by:
JoeGo getting naked, letting Greggy do a body shot off him in a gay club, Caroline with her gay brother’s wedding, Kathy with her gay sister Rosie.
This whole thing really does not paint the gay community in a good light.
Makes sense because it did appear there was a concerted effort to gay-ify the show this season.
HA!
I want someone to explain why Andy nor any of the “gay-friendly” others have failed to call out Joe Gorgas calling his sister and Kim D “butt-buddies” at the fashion show. That should have been mentioned at the season3 reunion since it was the next day. Yet not one person has mentioned it in an entire year!!! Andy has crucified TeresA since Season 1 for her husbands comments even though they have both appologized many times. Yet “the angel from God” has not had his conduct questioned nor has he appologized.
it really is a shame because all i see is a show that’s promoting bullies — letting them ALL gang up on teresa like that is just SO WRONG — there should come a point in time where BRAVO needs to own the fact that they have BEAT HER DOWN repeatedly and relentlessly by those other fools on the cast — and apologize to her and her husband, kids, and parents. What a shame.
When Teresa is through with bravo, and it will all come to a end… Everything does… I pray that Teresa has someone with a video, and she kicks the shit out of Mandy… Then she lets each one of her kids to kick his ass too… And joe just sitting back saying, that’s my girls… Put it on u tube and see how many hits it gets…
It would get tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. I wish TLC (or someone) would offer Tre her own show because then somebody else could be Bravo’s scapegoat (you know they’d need one).
Va Fa Napoli, your right T has gotten no preferential treatment because as I have said numerous times and well, it just might be me because I don’t think that I’ve seen it elsewhere is that ANDY 100% HATES T Guidice! Andy is always trying to shove the Manzo’s and that skank Melwhore down our throats. He is so transparent and I don’t think that he knows that people see him hating on T. As you are Italian, how about that JoeGorga huh? Loyal right?
Joe Gorga is the biggest ASSHOLE I have ever seen on TV and for what he did to his sister is sick.
I will buy any Magazine I see Teresa on. The rest of them not a chance.

ENOUGH SAID
This would explain Melissa’s attitude. If she is gay, and has saddled herself with a husband she doesn’t want, as well as children she doesn’t want (it is obvious she has no interest in her kids), then she must be frustrated, angry,and bitter. I can understand her inconsistent personality if she is so unhappy and depressed about her lot in life. She should change her situation so she can find some peace of mind and happiness.
Hell’s bells! She’s given birth to three child support checks a month and thinks she’s as famous and talented as Christina Aguilera! She could change her lot in life anytime she wanted to.
Mmhmm and a lot were thinking I was crazy when I said it last week in some post lol.
If true then MEHO really is a “PROSTITUTION WHORE” LOL!
I loved Teresa’s blog. The fact that she first thanked all her friends and that she recognizes that without the fans, she would not be a success, I LOVED THAT! See, Teresa gets it. The others don’t. That’s why they’re in the gutter and she is shining through. She did not go on twitter and blogs and insult and taunt the fans. Can’t say the same thing about the rest of them.
I became a fan of hers when I saw the strength and courage she had in the midst of everyone including her own family coming after her over and over. I was a victim of bullying in the workplace. I only had 3 bitches bullying me. It was brutal and I suffered from depression until I was able to get out of that place and away from them. So I can relate to Teresa.
They all thought they could take her down. Guess who got taken down in the end? Just look at them with their bloated faces and bodies and their ridiculous over the top plastic surgeries to the face, lapbands, etc. They now look as ugly on the outside as they are on the inside. That is their KARMA. Teresa looks amazing and that has to be driving them all nuts. Cheers Teresa!
TV junkie, I am so sorry that you had to deal with bullies in the workplace. As if working isn’t already stressful. I don’t even know how T did it, but she got through filming and is still composed even as they all still trash her. It just sucks to see Andy Cohen play favorites and trash her too. I think that I hate him the most and that’s saying a lot because T’s family makes my skin boil! Why the hell didn’t bravo edit that ending? It’s not like it would’ve been so expensive!
BRAVO also edited out Jax swearing on her “Autistic Son” at the reunion. Immediately after the final episode they gave a preview of the reunion where Jax said Autistic son. Now on the video snippits that are playing the word AUTISTIC is edited out. Just more of BRAVO playing with the viewers and putting their slant on what we should believe. Has anyone else seen the original, unedited clip with the word AUTISTIC in it. Caroline touched her and said something to the effect “don’t say that”. That too was edited out. This is becoming an insult to my intelligence. Someone please back me up on this. I know what I saw and heard and I am not crazy. You cannot make this stuff up.
You are 100% correct because I heard it on a clip and I was like wowww.. you are scum.
key west babe, yes there are many other posters who noticed this too. There was some talk on twitter about it, also. You weren’t the only one who heard it. Bravo disgusts me. I know I probably said that a gazillion times on here, but they do. I also read a post where a viewer said that Kelly Ripa mentioned to Andy that she watched the unedited clip of Melissa’s “set up” and she told him she didn’t think Teresa was involved. Many were wondering what that unedited version looked like. Andy will make sure that none of us ever see it, I’m positive of that.
Key west babe, no, your not crazy, i saw that clip also. Drives me crazy how bravo thinks they can twist things, and we will follow blindly. Hopefully the executives over at bravo will hear the viewers complaints, and rectify this.
Thanks mc, I appreciate it. Sorry it took so long to reply. I get on here in the morning, then again at night, and there are so many posts, sometimes I miss some of them.
Yeah, I wonder why Bravo didn’t step in and MAKE Andy fix this. They have a lot to lose when this is all said and done.
Teresa appears to be a stronger woman and has been trying to provide for her family through opportunities from RH. NOTE: Your comment was edited. Kindly don’t bring any issues with other sites to SH. Your comments re HWs are welcome!
I think that Teresa’s blog is beautiful. Yes she answers the hard questions but she also puts it into perspective…what it is all about…it is about doing good with your 15 minutes and to not just think about yourself. I had a tear when reading it. Sounds like she was in a very dark and lonely place earlier this year and it was CA that saved her. God bless her and her family.
He blog was spot on but I do believe that she has an editor “tweeking’ her feelings that she puts on paper. There is nothing wrong with that as she has been the butt of jokes because of her english/grammer/pronunciation all along. From what I understand, Lapband brought cards to the reunion (still don’t know what her fat ass was doing on the couch) to ask Theresa what some of her words in her blogs meant. I don’t think Theresa passed the exam. Lapband set out to further humiliate Theresa. If Theresa can have an editor do her cookbook (as most writers do) then what is wrong with someone editing her blog. They are her feelings that her editor puts in the correct order, syntax, etc. These witches just won’t give up.
Tv Junkie, it really is remarkable how twisted they look . Chuckie, Jax , Katfish, MeHo Twatspotter cannot escape the ugly , the damage they attempted to inflict on Teresa is registered on their countenances.
This is off topic, but TMZ is reporting that the DCFS interviewed Adrienne Maloof’s kids and determined that they were not abused. Adrienne had the help of DR SOPHY to accuse Paul of abuse. Doesn’t Dr. No Socks work for the DCFS? If that’s the case, he should be fired immediately. This just proves that he would be willing to play with kids’ lives so he can be on yet another episode of reality tv. Sick!
I agree!!
This is what the mother of three/stripper had to say about Tree’s blog
“Does anyone feel like T is doing her reversal again in her blog? She is describing herself to a T… #sheislosingit”
Does anyone else find it odd when grown women and men have their parents get involved in their drama? Have a little faith in who you raised.
I think its is interesting to see who’s parents step in to protect their babies:
Melissa
Aviva
Jacqueline
Manzo offspring
I have a bad memory, anyone else?
Sooooo…… Melissa posted her degree on twitter …. she got her B.S in 2004 which should make her 25 when she graduated…. but where was she working between 17- 21? Unless she took 8 years to graduate with a bachelors…… not adding up.
Didn’t she get married in 2004? I’m a little confused. Or maybe a lot confused.
She said she has been married for 8 years so.. yup she got married in 2004. But if she got her bachelors is 04′ at age 25 what was she doing before then? Because when Tre confronted her in the bathroom she said was teaching before she got married? ….
You are right. Something is amiss.
I ***think*** we established somewhere among her lies that she got married and then she graduated. And regarding her age, I ***think*** she flunked out of school somewhere (Florida?) before coming back to NJ.
That’s the problem with Melvin — she lies so much she can’t keep the lies straight, and then when she puts out different information you don’t know what to believe.
Just because you graduate from college with a degree doesn’t make you a teacher. Did she pass the NJ state teacher certification tests? Does she have proof that she worked as a teacher? Even at private school or a sub where certification is not required?
When she said teaching I think she meant “student teaching”. You know Melissa only gives half truths. I’d like to see her NJ state teacher certification. As bad as Jacko’s beauty certification from 20 years ago that she still renews for Las Vegas.
Simple. Just don’t believe any of it.
The producer who supposedly set this up was allegedly fired long before the show aired. If that’s true, why would Bravo allow it go on anyway allegedly edited unfairly just to make Teresa look bad? This was the finale. Along with the opener, this is the most important episode.
Too many levels in the chain of command had to sign off on this before the airing to be able to blame one producer for the finished product. Now, I can understand if after shown, it flopped, the producer would be blamed and fired. But not WAY before.
Tangy, read the famewhorgas link provided above by TV Junkie. It will explain the time line and production process.
Great great blog. “Thank you all for being there for me and making me a better person!” – YES! Thats the way to go. People just want to hear Teresa saying “im not perfect”, “I’ve learned a lot”, “happy people dont have it all they just make the best of what they got” sort of thing
I just have to say this website is really fun and a great diversion from the cares of life. Thank you, Ms. SH!
I’m really glad Tre takes the time to answer questions and explain things in her blogs. Whether she does it alone, or with help from an editor, at least she takes her fans and spot on the show seriously, unlike the others that just write drunken rants and tell us all to not even bother refuting them, (Jax), or those that write a few lazy sentences about the nice day it is or how they are great people, (Caro and Mego).
Is anyone else bothered by being manipulated by Bravo? For a producer to cause all this unnecessary drama to throw Teresa under the bus is just disgusting. It seems like ANDY COHEN was the one to give CAT RODRIGUEZ the orders to cause this set up. There should be laws or something against the manipulative way REALITY TV SHOWS are made. It’s f’ed up!
Perhaps if they weren’t called “Reality Shows” we wouldn’t be here griping about the lies. BRAVO should come up with another name for this genre. It can’t be called a soap opera because these women are far from professional actors. If BRAVO would just fess up about the bias, set ups, scripts and editing then maybe we would be able to enjoy it for what it really is…..trashy t.v. but they continue to shove this stuff down our throats and hope that we as the viewers are dumb enough to buy it.
Would be really interesting to see a REAL journalist (not Anderson Cooper) do an expose on the Bravo network and their “reality” shows.
Hersandra, I agree with you! If only a real journalist would take this on, it would be great. It would have to be someone from a competing network. Their ratings would hit the roof on this, no doubt. I remember reading that the RHONJ production assistant who gave that interview on the insider stuff going on there, he said that Bravo will listen to the main audience who doesn’t go on twitter or the blogs, or something like that. These are the people who are being duped. Somehow, they need to be made aware that Bravo is lying to them. All they see is what Bravo presents each week and what those hags put out to the tabloids about Teresa.
Tree can’t say anything nice without throwing some sort of insult in the same sentence! I feel sorry for her, she comes across as sad and so so desperate for Joe’s (her husband) love & always needs to publicly validate their marriage is a “happy” one. She’s out of control and not fun to watch (I miss season one Teresa)…I hope Bravo fires her. I will say good for her for making the big bucks on all her books, drinks and celebrity appearances.
Teresa has a massive twitter army who do all her dirty work. So easily impressed with her. Teresa and joe are scum. Her fans on twitter have twitter accounts describing themselves as Teresa groupies. Hope none you die hard fans are fat or have wrinkles because your idol Teresa doesn’t like people like you.
Lori,
That could work for die hard Manzo fans as well. Caroline and Lauren made some pretty nasty comments to a black woman on twitter referencing AIDS and a hanging from a tree. Wonder how many black women that were fans of Manzos are not, now?
What they said on twitter was disgusting and racist.
Calling somebody fat (especially when HER OWN MOTHER called her fat on national TV) after Lauren and Chucky tormented and called Teresa everything from stupid to a bad mother, I say they get what they deserve.
Yes, what about the AIDS comment and the big tree comments?
Racist, racist, racist. These comments deserve wider play. Lauren Manzo is a racist piece of crap.
I don’t like the Manzoids, but after hearing the racist comments they made, I now really detest them. So all PC Andy and Anderson are buddy buddy with racists? They are a digusting group of dung.
I just can’t believe that someone would make a “hanging from a tree” comment. I’m sitting here with a dropped jaw. That is such a horrible, hateful and disgusting thing to say. Those Manzoids are absolute animals.
at least they’re women enough to claim their intentions. who the hell are you? I love Teresa too so you can include me in that group. The only thing you are doing Lori here where you know we mostly post in favor of Teresa is showing what a douche bag you are, how about practicing if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all. I don’t post on the sites or Bravo site of the other castmates because I am not a fan of theirs. Please take this advice–go to a site that supports the castmates you like and if you can’t find such a site you can start one, you can do it. Your posting your crap makes me want to respond to refute your bullshit. How many twitter followers does Justin Beiber have? Would you say something like that to another celebrity? Go shampoo that evil out of your hair with some Milania Hair Care products and I hope it washes the stink off of you.
RahRah – are you saying that this group is for Teresa fans only? I’m sure that’s not the case! I’m sure Lori & Junkie have a point about twitter armies. Nobody dealing with a full deck is jumping on either bandwagon to the point of getting their panties in a knot or losing sleep about how evil the Manzos are or what a piece of filthy garbage Teresa is.
I’m glad ur show was cancelled cause u dressed funny. MUAH
I’m not fat, I don’t have wrinkles, so I think I’m good. Wasn’t it funny that when Chuckie said she doesn’t get botox or fillers, the camera immediately went to a close up of BubbaJax! hehehehe
Lori,
I have wrinkles and I am not offended by what Teresa said. I hope she gives those biotches everything in return that they spewed out to her for two seasons.
Tre “army” how misguided some of them are and trust me some of them are
are not Tre’s fault she dosnt control them or make them do her dirty work if they are being dirty they do so on their own much like Taylors creepy gang was. Now in saying this NONE OF the ladies here compare to Tre Fans on twitter the ladies here are passionate but they are not crazy we have gone toe to toe but in the long run we laugh to
This is just a thought…for what it’s worth. I don’t think Andy, the producers, or any of the other housewives truely hate Teresa. I think RHONJ got put on the map with the table flip. Those 10-15 seconds were pure ratings GOLD. I think Andy told the others to do WHATEVER they could to bring Tre to another “table flip moment,” and there would be a bonus for whomever was able to pull it off. Hence, all of the “You are scum, you disgust me, I can’t even look at you,” BS that gets thrown in her direction for seemingly no reason at all. Jax’s mother’s tweet about aggravating Tre makes more sense, as does Lapband Lauren’s disdain for NO reason. And, Caroline’s, “You were never my friend,” And, Kathy’s claiming her mother’s ownership over Tre’s recipes. I could go on and on with examples, but I can’t help but think they were told to poke, poke, poke until the furniture flies.
Yeah, it’s funny. As much trouble as Jax has had with her GROWN daughter & the failure to thrive that Carowhine’s kids have seen , they want to tell someone else she’s doing a terrible job as a parent because her kids have their own minds. Ohhhh, what a sin. (B/T/W that’s actually your job as a parent , to raise kids that have their own minds, just sayin’) I think Jax was so worried that Ashelee would tell the truth on her (like when she said Jax still has the emotions of a child) and it looks like Carowhine can’t deal with her kids doing anything for themselves , they’re all supposed to walk lock-step with her & have the same thoughts etc. Funny how , given time, it all became clear.
Wasn’t it last season that Ashley said her mother, Jax, had to stick her nose in everybody else’s business?
Three books on the bestseller’s list – GO GIRL!! Wow when Carowhine , Jax & Melis set out to “destroy” someone they really do a bang up job! ;P
Saw this message and wanted to share here…
“Good Morning Teresa fans…
Did you know Teresa had a breakdown?
“I said to myself I wasn’t going to get upset, but I couldn’t help it,” Teresa says in an exclusive interview with In Touch, adding that “after the taping was done, I broke down. I started crying, and I couldn’t stop.”
http://www.bravotv.com/blogs/the-dish/teresa-giudices-candid-interview-i-broke-down
Talk about media attention!
Good for Teresa. MeGo has been on how many mag rag covers over the last couple of weeks? MeGo has talked to anybody that will listen to her whining. Hope Teresa made a few bucks, just as MeGo did.
@ ” Lori”
No that would be your ” friend” Jacqueline. You know the one that said she had a breakdown, but drunk tweeted the whole time.. You know the one that went to Kim G house and did shots, after the PFS.
Oh and the one that is using her son’s Autisim to gain sympathy( in my opinion) . Media attention lol.. That would be your queen Jacqueline!
Teresa said she broke down crying, and couldn’t stop. Big Difference, than ‘ pretending’ that she had a breakdown and could film the reunion, like Jacquline claimed!
* couldn’t
Jacqueline has no shame. Jacqueline is a horrible friend filled with jealousy, hate and juviderm.
LOL @ Hate the wench
Jacqueline has serious issues!!!
Thanks for the link! I really sympathize with T being around miserable jealous driven bitches all season long. The worst two being Melissa and JACQUELINE (aka Ms. Potato Head)
@ Hate the Wench
From what I have seen of the reunion, I would have broke down crying and probably would not have been able to stop for a while!
I would like to see anyone one of them sit there and have that happen to them. How in the hell would they feel?
It must be the worst being faced by jealous seething co-stars, spouses, siblings, children…but she faced the music, unlike the other bipolar, drunk, batsh*t crazy COWARD that didn’t show last reunion
Exactly @ Hate the Wench!
She went and faced it! Jacqueline couldn’t, she had a ” breakdown” LMAO!!
I have always called BS on that! Especially after seeing the finale, and her smirk the whole time, and how she twisted Teresas words! Please Jacqueline thats not even good BS, Breakdown!!!
do you think she twisted the words I thought it was her lack of understanding and intelligence, like the village idiot she is.
Oh and I’ll make sure and buy every copy of In Touch at my store
I’ll always admire Tre’s strength and support her. There’s a reason she’s the ONLY, yes O N L Y successful New Jersey HW. I’m so glad Bravo, Melissa and JACQUELINE’s little setup at the fashion show backfired on them and got Tre even MORE fans.
@ ” Lori”
Teresa stated in her Blog that she was doing an interview.. What is your problem?
If I had been put through what Teresa has been put through I’d cry to and didn’t she say she became emotional on seeing her brother again are the long absences.
Lori, it appears you are trying to twists this by pointing out to us these words “Talk about media attention!.” Common sense, no? The reason they didn’t interview you is because you are not the media personality on any show but Teresa is and they know the public can’t get enough of her. Also, Teresa is a brand now and somewhat of marketing genius. I think it is funny, her castmates are tearing down on twitter, tabloids and any forum they can to destroy Teresa and what does Teresa do, she’s plugging away building her brand. That others are just poor in spirit, and while Teresa is getting her hustle on the morons think they’re all that and as if some of care or can’t see through their smoke and mirrors. Is Teresa perfect, no. Am I perfect, no. When it comes to dignity Teresa has the others beat hands down. What I do feel like I have in common with Teresa is this: 1. I put motherhood first and learned to balance my professional and family obligations, 2. When I lost a good job in 2003 and used up my savings trying to make it an income 2/3rds less than before I took a part-time job. 3. But mostly like me, Teresa seems to grow from her experiences and become better and better. I wish I were clever but I am glad I am not because I wouldn’t be pure at heart. I’ve also understand not everyone is going to like you but that is a problem either because there are people who share the same interest that I do. At least Teresa thinks enough of her fans not to lie to them and if I thought she was lying I would not write this. Every explanation she gives is plausible and the others can’t even tell you in plain or straight words what the hell Teresa did to them–so they have absolutely no, no credibility.
Hey Lori, the key there is Teresa had her breakdown AFTER the reunion, not BEFORE! In other words, Teresa doesn’t hide from her responsibilities, she meets them head on and licks her wounds afterwards, in private.
I think this breakdown is really sad I feel for her. I just hope tre has lots of support so we dont end up with another Russell on our hands
(I dont think Tre would leave her girls just saying)
Wait a minute…. for two seasons, dozens of people hammered away at Teresa with the main goal of getting her to break down. Then, Teresa admidts that yes, she did break down after the show and you think it’s for media attention? Really?
Anyone, and I do mean anyone in that position would have broken down in tears after that.
I suppose you would act differently after being under attack from some people you formerly considered your friends but who have now turned pure evil against you? Wow. Have some empathy.
Hmmmmmm, and didn’t we see/hear Carowhine breakdown crying on tv after she went into her room at the end of the Napa debacle? Seems that we did.
Teresa did an outstanding job on her blog, she did take so many questions people were asking on twitter and answered them honestly, clearly and she didn’t answer them to justify herself, she answered for her fans. Great blog Teresa!
May I ask, why Bravo only prints the negative comments on Tre?
I posted this on another post but am posting it again to make my point, I have questioned Mel’s role as a Mother (not saying she is neglectful to her kids just saying I think her kids lack a lot of parental attention) it seems like she is on twitter every evening saying she is out with
so and so doing whatever, I questioned how she manages this with children (I got some smack for
accusing her of being neglectful which is not what I am saying, I am sure she has Nannys and so on to make sure her kids are taken care of) anyway Saturday was the Yankees game and Mel tweeted she was going to the game so I tweeted her saying: @melissagorga Yankee game sounds like fun! Bet the kids are excited it is a fun family outing! enjoy!…….Well my tweet was deleted!!!!!!……..Hummmmm since I have never tweeted to anyone before why would such an innocent tweet be deleted? I can only assume she didn’t want to admit that a family activity such as this did not include her children which is very sad for the kids! This is one of the reasons why I like Tre above Mel because Tre seems to do a lot more with her kids than Mel and Joe do. This is just my observation and opinion it’s free so it’s non refundable so no smack talk please! Lol
It seems that a lot more people were in on the drama behind the scenes then was shown. I really don’t think Tre was behind the plan. If anyone was “in” on it I would place my bet one the other ladies sitting at the table (Caroline, Jac,Lauren) as they were texting the whole time. Poor Kathy probably left her phone at home and was clueless.
In the end Melissa got played though. Tre ends up with her own show and since Melissa isn’t talking to her she will not be on it. It will focus on Tre and go in an entirely different direction without the other housewives. It’s too bad because I would of watched both. Like watching Dina on HW and then on HGTV. Sure why not?
Now Tre doesn’t have to have any of her family on her new show. I think Melissa sold herself out for the short term and didn’t look far enough down the road. If she had she would of stayed bonded with Tre after they had that break through.
The worst part is that because of this mess the cousins (Gia, etc) may not be seeing each other. I hope that part is not true. If is is true that the adults need to get over themselves and schedule a playdate stat.
It is sad to see the little ones exposed to this. But as they get older they’ll figure it out. Poor ole’ Auntie Carowhine’s hit a spot in her life where she had to face the truth & turned all bitter & sad & of course that was Tre’s fault.?? You know Gia & the rest won’t be able to muster an once of respect for her & I’m guessing any of the others involved.Sad , like a little jealous kid in a grown woman’s body. & who knows, maybe the older ones already know about Jax’s problem.
I think it would be more interesting to find out who the woman was that Joe was talking to at the vineyard and was telling “here comes my BITCH wife” than if Melissa was or was not a stripper, who the hell cares she was not married with kids, who CARES, but the cheating husband and the stuipd wife now that is interesting for sure………………….
How do you know Juicy was speaking to a woman? We never heard a voice. I care more about the Thank You Jesus girl who never tells a consistent story than what happens between a married couple.
Joycee,
Go and read the interview that the RHONJ production assistant put out. He admidted that there was a lot of dicing and splicing going on to try and make Joe out to be a cheater and a douchebag. Joe could have been calling anyone a bitch during season 1 and 2 and Bravo can take the unaired footage and splice it to other things he said to make it seem like he was talking about Tre.
You NEVER SAW HIM ACTUALLY SAY THE WORDS ON THE EPISODE. It was all done as a voice-over.
Also, there was a woman on twitter who says she did some production work in college and she sent out a tweet the night that episode aired and said it was obvious that Bravo was splicing stuff in. She recognized it because of working in production.
Bravo thought they were so clever. They been busted!
Ok, so here we are again. Tre told the truth but for some that’s not good enough. Someone else wrote it. Its to get attention. Come on. Usually when someone else writes for someone it has less personal tones to it. More casual less stiff. It really doesn’t matter because who ever doesn’t like Tre will just not except anything she says no matter if it was signed and notarized. Bravo went and admitted they set things up and Tre knew nothing about it. Its been proven that editing has run amok on the HW and nothing you see or hear is absolute. its also been proven that the producers and Andy have there own agenda and it has everything to do with money and ratings. I have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears the bullying and trashing of Tre and her family not only on the show but on talk shows and magazines. Those are facts.Tre has a brother who has slandered his own sister on national television and his wife has said and done worse. Maybe she has an excuse that Tre is not blood but BlowMeJoe has no excuse. Shame on those two! Those two have not had tp prove to anyone they are white-trash. The are the poster couple for white-trash. The Manzos have their own poster, “This too can be you if you are a bully! (a Big blow up of all the Manzos before and after pictures). Jax could be the poster person for,”Don’t drink and abuse plastic surgery or you too can look like her!” The Wacky family could be,”Birth control for Teens”. You could become parents like this!
…..Oh and a potty mouth father and a fish smelling mother should never reproduce.(No offence to the kids,not their fault having parents like theirs.) Of course I am having my own poster made up its going to be big Bravo sign with a slash through it! No Bravo welcomed here. And Andy face in the middle with a bulls-eye on it! HA!
Haha, I like what you said. ITA.
I’m still blown away by the fact that Jaqoholic not only accused Tre of setting up Meho, but, she out and out lied about Tre standing next to baldy when he was talking about all of it. How can she live with herself? She has to know that we know she’s a liar. It was beyond bad. It was evil.
