About Stoopid Housewives

The Real Housewives franchises have become a guilty pleasure for me and I've become intrigued by 'normal' people who would agree to put their lives on television for public display and scrutiny. What are their motives to divulge their daily routines for viewing audiences to approve, reprimand, berate, castigate, attack; basically abuse and judge? Oh, just forget about the above nonsense... the majority of these people are just stoo-pid.

    I think it’s odd that we wouldn’t have heard of this before now??? She lies so much about everything I don’t know if I believe this

    • sophia says:

      She mentioned it on an episode last season. Maybe it is not a lie but your refusal to pay attention to anything positive about a person and then trash them because of your own ignorance.

      • Hate the Wench says:

        No need to be rude to another poster, Sophia. Maybe she missed that episode. BTW, Melissa is still a manipulative evil lying bitch. Have a nice day:)

      • beth says:

        Take it easy Master Level Social Worker… why make ad hominem attacks on other posters? We are all here for fun and entertainment ;)

      • Va Fa Napoli says:

        funny, you exude the same ignorance when you post about teresa…

      • “Pay attention?” Sophia …

        “Pay attention, please!” Was the quote from “D!” (It got a table flipped in defending the honor of Don-Caro!) “Ah, those them there are ‘fighting words!’” Forcing fans for Mego?

        Not one member of Mego family had honor to state it was an insane position to jump on live television! Only to be on display! It was self-serving, self-centened and egotistical [3. egotistical - indifferent to the well-being of others ... !] Whice is why the vast majority is appalled at the Gorga’s lack of compunctions!

        To portray a family’s unholy union for a viewing public to witness! It was a harebrain idea conceived by the Gorga’s! Because of their envie and greed to be a spot light. They hungered for notoriety! Teresa’s spot was the only one that they could raid! It was damaging to Joe’s parents – Mego! How the Gorga’s can hold their head’s up is beyond any one of honor and truth and logic!

    • Underdoglover says:

      Oh I do. MIght explain why she’s such a heartless witch nowadays.

    • JMCR says:

      Oh Hello “STACYCHRIS” ` I was so pissed off but then I read this post was so LOL LISTEN “STACYCHRIS” as we ALL know u don’t get 2 play the victim I’m the victim” a.k.a. MISSY who has a warrant oh Andy you can make it up 2 us If you have he picked up & taken 2 FLORIDA & not 2 sing, lol Plz when will Andy see that many are not TEAM TERESA like whoever you care 2 I just want 2 say that when the cameras are gone the $$$$ stops & that day is coming, look around & nothing or nobody ~ I bet u get a call or just an e-mail, It seems after 2 years Jill Z. still can’t get over it anyway….These NJ folks are not like the Zarin’s love or hate they work JUST LIKE TERESA back on NJ next season who is a close source tells me you will see that these ladies are ALL going through what Teresa thank you Jesus are just now getting a tease of & I must say with ALL of this going on around her TERESA has held her head up-high & with class ~ Oh someone better get off her TWITTER &start working her ass off, Oh forget about it she cant even attend an event @ the Brownstone when she is the one who is being honored

    • That would have been a worth story line … if she needed an excuse to be on the show. Yet, then again, “she has had nothing better to do than render – a need to be on display!”

  2. RealMafiaGrandmother says:

    From the Deborah Hospital website with respect to the November 3 event:

    “The winners will compete for a $1,000 cash prize in each age division on November 3, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Pemberton Township High School, where they will each have 3-1/2 minutes to wow the judges. Glenn and Diane of the Magic Morning Team, 100.1, will be the show emcees, and former Deborah pediatric patient Melissa Gorga, star of Bravo’s Desperate Housewives of New Jersey, will be on hand before the show signing autographs from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Tickets to the Grand Finale are $15. For more information, call Tina at 609-893-3372.”

    Desperate Housewives of New Jersey?!? ***twinkle***

    The Deborah Hospital is holding a singing competition which they refer to as the Deborah Idol Competition. According to the hospital’s August press release, “Melissa Gorga, star of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ and a pediatric patient at Deborah years ago, will attend the finals to meet the public.”

    The release states in a separate paragraph that “Professional singers, songwriters and musicians will judge the prelims and finals,” so no idea if desperate housewife Melvin will be a judge or not.

  3. Paul, UK says:

    Call me ignorant… but don’t people who have open heart surgery normally have scars down their chest? She’s always wearing low cut tops and I’ve never seen so much as a mark there….

    • Stlrfan8 says:

      I said the same thing Paul (way back when she started this nonsense). Someone asked her about it and she said she had the surgery from the back, but I’ve never seen a scar there either. She’s a liar….

      • teap0t says:

        That is kind of weird, I have never seen a scar on her back either. Maybe she covers it with makeup?

      • pino says:

        I remembered she said in the episode they went through her back. i don’t think it’s open hesrt

        • sd says:

          I remember it too. She said that her mother fought tooth and nail for so they didn’t leave the scar on her chest and up until then it had never been done before. I am pretty sure it’s true guys. I know a lot of people doubt her but I think this is legitimat.

    • sophia says:

      In a previous episode she explained the surgery and where her scar is. **edited**

      • Candace says:

        Insults to posters are not permitted here, sophia.

      • Ohno! says:

        Reality is when you catch someone lying so much you dont belive anything they say.

      • lobstahsmaht says:

        Sophia: I am beginning to think your last name is Marcos.

        • Lobstahsmaht:

          Something is up – with her! There are those whom are not buying MeGo nasty displays the entire seasons! Neither are we willing to turn a blind eye to a person who has displayed her agenda on publc televison!

          Also, those who defend Mego need to question how it is that they are incapable of seeing what the rest of us saw! Even though we are not related, nor are we friends, nor fans. The facts have been well defined! Mego and Gorgo have issues that are not any one’s fault but their own! That is the gist of it!

          They wanted the lime light! Nothing more! No one else can be held accountable! Only the Gorga’s over active ego’s. The Gorga’s will not will not see their culpabilities! They plotted and it back fired. Eveyone has to see the answers to a problem before it can be resolved. It does not mean blaming others!

          If Joey not get his wife off his sister’s case they will ruin they own marriage. Defending a marriage partner does not include allowing chaos to infuse itself in the family tree! Mego wants Teresa place! Mego wants to be above Teresa! Still, siblings are there long after divorce!

          Man up Joey! Men make families work. It does not mean jerking members of the family around to suit you! Stop dictating what and how your sister should please you! It means being a mature and rational adult. Stop acting! Live the dream! Make it amends!

          Mego shut up! Stop play the center of “RHNJ!” While you are at it stop acting! Stop playing victim! Your display of: “Joey, there is a man here!” “Do not come down here!” “What are you doing here Joey?” “I told you not to come down here, Joey!”

          Your display to Andy: “I always wear my sparkly body jewelry!” “My gold frosted eye shadow!” “My bracelet that look like those that Teresa is wearing!” Those shoes that matched Teresa’s bathing suit shot? A lot of damage has been caused and it has your’s and your husband name all over it! While you both were trying to force Teresa’s to take “your blame – yet, again!”

          Anyone who says otherwise “you have shown your colors!”

        • mesocrazy says:

          I’m thinking the same thing! Just too weird w comments& seems like an “inside” post.. Very defensive w her comments re MeGo.. Things that make you go HMMMM…
          Everyone is so entitled to their own opinion, not my point but Sophia just seems suspect ! Miss SH is very biased& Not on any teams , just gives us the real scoop so this Sophia poster makes me think something stinks, like KomaKathy Fish! Inspector Miss SH will get on the case:)
          Can’t we all just get along& have fun w these crazies??

          • mesocrazy says:

            Also again, Love Love love the pic that was drawn w all the HW! Genius! I want to share it as I think it was fabulously done! The talent that comes to this site is what makes my day! Miss SH has the best followers! She should b proud of all her hard work, Kudos!! I thank you for makin my days brighter!

    • lisa the Irish Dragon says:

      If she had it as a young child the scar may lighten and get smaller as she ages.

      • Stlrfan8 says:

        Hi Lisa, it may lighten, but it stretches – it doesn’t get smaller. Even so, we’d still see a ripple in the skin or something. I had surgery on my leg as a kid… the scar does not disappear – no matter how badly one may want it to.

        Having said that… I guess I’ll believe the hospital, but other than that…. I still support the fact that MeGo is pretty much a liar.

      • CJ says:

        Lisa, I know two people that had open heart surgery as children, both of them have quite noticeable scars. Open heart surgery requires cutting through the sternum and laying open the incision; thus the term open heart. If MeGo was seven years old at the time of the surgery, it would have been at least 25 years ago – before less invasive procedures were being done and large staples were used to seal the incision. Those staple scars don’t go away.

        If she indeed had a posterior thoracotomy, she’d have a substancial scar on her back as it would have also be sutured with staples.

        MeGo has paraded around in a bikini and there are no scars on either her front or back. She’s got a fairly dark complexion, so the scars would be especially noticeable.

        • Amber12 says:

          Not a fan of Melissa.. but my boys were preemies and I know they do surgery on the heart on the back to close the PDA (which shunts blood around the lungs when you are in the womb b/c you dont need oxygen) so maybe something like this?

      • Ana Cephaly says:

        My husband had a ventricular septal defect (a hole between the left and right chambers of the heart) corrected as a toddler and he still had the scars as an adult. The scars are there forever.

        • lisa the Irish Dragon says:

          Ok you are right Melissa is lying about the whole thing.

          • Ana Cephaly says:

            I don’t know that she is lying. As the daughter, niece, and wife of people who have had open heart surgery, I can tell you that there are scars. She didn’t mention why she had surgery. I think it is interesting that she didn’t say what was wrong with her for her to have had surgery.

          • gapeachathome says:

            I don’t think she is…aside from being the youngest in her family, I think this is one of the reasons her sisters hold her so dearly.

    • brzmiau says:

      Exactly.. i was just about to post about it, but u beat me:)

      :A heartsurgery incision is a 7inch to 10inch vertical cut down the middle of the chest, which extends along the length of the breastbone, says Dr. Niloo Edwards, director of heart transplants at the New York Presbyterian Hospital. This allows surgeons to open the ribcage and expose the heart.” Scars vary in size and appearance, depending on how the patient heals.

    • originalcyn1 says:

      My niece had open heart surgery when she was 2 . Her scar now is only 2 inches and not that noticeable anymore. She’s Melissa’s age now. Melissa said something about her mother insisting they enter through her back so the scar would be less noticeable. I’ve never heard of that?

    • No matter which way you conduct a surgery, there will inevitably be scars. ESPECIALLY if that surgery was 15-20 years ago. Even my friend who had a similar type of situation for cancer when she was a child, her small scar is still noticeable from twenty years ago.

    • jeang says:

      Thats right, I had open heart surgery for triple bypass and have vertical scar about 12-14 inches from chest area to slightly above belly button. She is probably exagerating….also my surgery was in 2009 and I probably less scarring that older surgeries. You also get other scars as well, on leg if they have to remove veins and two horizontal near belly button where they had something in me to drain something. As much skin as she shows some of that would show tanned or not. .

      • lobstahsmaht says:

        I had a large scar on my back where I was stabbed (more like slice). It has paled over the years and is now not so raised but you can surely see it and its been 30 years.

        • lobstahsmaht says:

          And I mean’t have as obviously it is still there. I like to make up stories when people ask like Oh that? Old polar bear injury.

    • DDCHAT says:

      Yes and we would see it. She’s a liar. PERIOD!

      And another thing, that would have been 28 years ago when the scaring would have been a lot more noticeable than it would be today. We have all see her half naked and no scars.
      She’s evil.

  4. Pixie says:

    Interesting article from 2007 about heart surgery scars for children. http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?ID=5339

  5. Newbie says:

    She’s the tin man from Oz

    • staceychris says:

      lol!!

    • T C says:

      That is too funny you got me. I actually thought it was going to be her “horrible kitty” costume she used to use in her opening credits in S-1. This may have been the inspiration for MeHo’s character in Maya’s painting yesterday.

  6. mannysgrammy says:

    I guess I missed that episode too, I honestly don’t remember hearing ANYTHING about this at all & you would think she’d be using her surgery story/scar to help other’s. Wear that scar proudly!
    I believe the whole story as it comes from the Hospital….!`
    Anyone have that clip from the show where she talks a/b it? Has anyone seen her scar? (Ok, i’m strange, I like scars, don’t think they should be covered w/make up or other for something someone in her position can use to reach out/help other’s)~but that being said, we’d all be screaming if she acted anything like PT HW to hear the story over & over.
    I’d actually like to hear a/b her surgery/why she had it/any current health issues, etc.

    • jayelle says:

      I remember her showing her scar to Caroline (i think) she said her Dr. didn’t want to give her a scar down her chest so he went in under her shoulder blade area. She does have a scar. I am not a Melissa fan, but I did have surgeries as a child…it aint no picinic.

      i

    • embee says:

      Tried to find a link on Bravo but couldn’t. I think the discussion about her surgery took place at the hookah birthday party for Richie Wakile. Caroline noticed the scar and Joe Gorga told the story about Melissa having heart surgery as a child. Melissa said her mother didn’t want her to have a scar on her chest and insisted that they do the surgery from her back.

      • mannysgrammy says:

        aahh, ok! Thanks for the info girls! Very few shows i’ve missed but there are a few & just never saw the re-runs of the ones i missed! arghhh

      • Va Fa Napoli says:

        I was gonna say the same thing. I remember them discussing it too. It was only once.

      • lisa the Irish Dragon says:

        oh yes surgery thru the back, i remember that

        • mesocrazy says:

          I don’t remember this at all? Not sure how I missed MeGo& heart surgery ? My friend was born w a hole in her heart& had surgery @ young age but it only left small scar. We r similar in age so timing was prob similar .. I don’t like MeGo due to she is biggest liar but feel for her having surgery @ such young age.. She must b fine now cuz we don’t hear anything about it?

  7. madamedummy says:

    she will try ANYTHANG now to stay relevant …
    taking a cue from wackojacko ..
    the karaoke ain’t workin’ so now it’s tea & sympathy time ….
    when she gets no sympathy she will try something else ..
    ( not much left )

  8. paula2 says:

    The fact that she had surgery as a child or is participating in this event does not change my mind about who Melissa is as an adult. Every RHONJ should be doing doing charity work.

  9. madamedummy says:

    really she only needs a green tinted makeup to play margaret hamiltons role as the wicked witch in ‘oz’ …
    kathy wakile can go as marty feldman in ‘young frankenstein …
    bozomanzo as ‘chucky’ ….
    wackojacko as a ‘thumb puppet (‘memba those ??)
    JoeBlo rapist can represent the ‘lollipop guild in drag ….
    wakile should just go as himself ….or peewee herman …
    i feel sorry for chris laurita so i’m leaving him out ..
    he turned into a ‘mangina’ but that’s not a costume we want to see ….

  10. summer says:

    People throw around the term open heart surgery. Maybe she had heart surgery but it wasn’t open heart…not as large of a scar.

    • Parkview says:

      Thats right. People do throw around the phrase open heart. There are many different surgeries pertaining to the heart….open heart is only one of them. And I can tell you this……no way did any surgeon go in through her back to avoid a scar because her mother insisted. If they went in through her back, its because it was the better option. often with young children, because of their underdeveloped bodies, surgeries are performed differently than with adults.

  11. Bhurst Girl says:

    I’m sorry she went through something like that as a young child. I am also sorry that because she went through something like that, she feels entitled instead of grateful. She, as an adult and a mother now, should be aware of the fragility of life.

  12. forblogs says:

    The above article “Deborah Heart & Lung Center” that MsSH provided for us says there now are choices as to where the incision can be made (ex: under the breast) but I am not sure if this was an option at that hospital when Mel was a youngster.
    But the point is: many have doubts b/c of her lying about her past.
    If our questions upset Mel, then she is not used to being Bravo’s HW on display, on display.

    • cyndi says:

      young children are cut under the arm and and the heart is accessed through the rib cage….ribs are soft enough to be moved aside without having to break them

  13. Va Fa Napoli says:

    My dad had open heart about ten years ago. He’s got a big visible scar going down his chest. Looks lke railroad tracks.

  14. Annie says:

    Awesome hospital (my mom goes there) that depends on donations. Would be nice if Melissa made a nice donation,especially since she was a patient. I wouldn’t mind hearing her brag about donating money.

  15. danelle says:

    well if she had the surgery, that explains a lot.
    they must have removed her empathy and expanded narcissism.
    either way we know she full of fake (parts) inside and out.

  16. cyndi says:

    My sister had open heart surgert when she was 5…they lift the rib cage to access the heart..scar is under her arm FYI

  17. Anita bier says:

    I’m sorry meho had heart surgery. No child should ever go through any kind of surgery. My mother had open heart surgery. Big scar. I once dated a guy who had open heart. Again big scar. No effen way she had open heart. I do like the tin man posts . Funny. If I only had a heart.

  18. Entree-Manure says:

    Famewhore Mego did talk about her heart surgery last season but this is the first time anyone has heard about her supporting a charity. I guess now that Tre has Nephcure – Mego has to find a charity to support as well….once a copy-cat ALWAYS a copy-cat.
    If anyone noticed – on tonight’s WWHL she sounded just like Tre saying “oh my gawd!” – same scratchy squeal and pitch. Mego is sooo unoriginal.

  19. morninglaurie says:

    I cannot be sure she had surgery cause wasn’t there…But, I would think if she did she might have made a bigger deal out of it to get more attention. I don’t think she would miss any opportunity to work that into a play for sympathy on her part. As most have said she has lied so much its hard to tell when she isn’t lying. Now days you can cover scars as well as have removed if you have the money and good doctor. Regardless, I don’t think the hospital would back up a liar as the truth would get out and ruin their chances of getting charitable contributors. And truly I dont care, dont care…..
