Caroline Manzo Believes That The Dynamic Of The Show Has Changed!


Caroline Manzo took to her blog to discuss Sunday’s episode of RHONJ! Caroline believes that the dynamic of the show has changed and is happy to see both Teresa and Joe Gorga agree to go to therapy!

“They say when one door closes, another one opens; I think that’s the best way to define tonight’s episode. The tides have certainly changed, and I believe the dynamic of the show will change as well, do you agree?

I felt bad for Jacqueline, but at the same time I was happy for the Gorgas and Wakiles. I meant what I said when I told Kathy and Joe that removing myself from the situation could only help in their healing process with the Giudices. There’s no denying that now as I watch from week to week that my instinct was correct. We’ll see where it goes from here.

I’ve said it a million times, we fight big and we love big, but in the end there’s always forgiveness. I’m happy to see that Joe and Teresa are going to therapy. I don’t know what the outcome was, so I guess I’ll find out when you guys do. I was also happy to see Kathy and Melissa respond in a positive way to T’s request; all you can do is try, right? Baby steps.

One thing I want to address is the Jacqueline/Caroline punch in the face comment. As you all know, we’ve discussed this before and neither Jac or I have tried to hide it. What bothers me is the fact that it was brought up again, so many years later. This happened over ten years ago, shortly after Jac gave birth to CJ. She was suffering from post partum depression and going through a really tough time. I’m insulted and disappointed that T would use Jac’s suffering as a sticking point. There’s nothing funny about post partum depression, shame on her for that. The bottom line is we forgave and forgot, and we have a wonderful relationship. Yes, we have disagreements from time to time, but it never lasts long. We talk about it and move on, TOGETHER.

Congrats to Melissa on her success with On Display! Every time I watch her reach another goal, I remember how she spoke of her dad and the hopes and dreams he had for her. I can’t imagine how she feels at those moments, bittersweet for sure.”

I don’t think Caroline should be annoyed that Teresa brought up the punching comment considering that they all have brought the table incident where Teresa flipped a table countless times. Teresa is upset so she’s not going to censor what she says to please Caroline when Caroline doesn’t like her. I like how Caroline kept her blog classy, no digs, no explanations, no drama. Thoughts on what she had to say?!

  1. Melissa's Forehead says:

    Is anyone else creeped out that Caroline named her son Chris which is her brother’s name? Sick freak.

    • Linda says:

      Are you kidding me, my son is named after his dad, his son is the same, as in many of my family members and friends. Thats not creepy, it’s a tradition handed down for generations, in ALL families.

      • Lee says:

        It is an Italian tradition to name their sons after grandfathers, fathers and uncles. I have triplet boys, and my oldest son has the same name as both his grandfathers, my second son is named after my husband and my third son is named after the first grandparent that died.

        • Melissa's Forehead says:

          Theres a difference between naming your child after their father, your parents, or a dead relative. But naming your son after YOUR brother is just creepy. My opinion stands.

          • Lee says:

            Why is Caroline so upset at Teresa for mentioning when Jac punched her. In my opionion, It shows how Caroline does not know how to mind her own business in her brother’s marriage. She always bashed Jac as a parent and the Manzo’s always were rude to Ashley. Know she bashes Teresa because she was worried about her brother’s marriage.

          • michers says:

            IDK why upset now because Jac and Caro were the ones who brought it up, talked , and laughed about it on season 1 reunion! Friggin psychos.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      I LOOOOOOOATTHE Caroline, but even I can’t fault her for naming her son after her brother. That seems like a completely uncontroversial thing to do. There are SO many other legitimate reasons to hate her.

    • Daisy says:

      Creeped out my a sister naming her son after her brother? No of course not, that’s just silly. lol Never even gave it a thought. It’s not an uncommon practice at all.

    • alice says:

      Awesome name LOL!! Mel’s forehead !

    • jlennon81 says:

      No its perfectly normal to call your child after a relative, mother/father/aunt etc, thats just a silly comment

  2. Jelly says:

    I don’t remember them bringing up the table flipping incident? The only time it’s brought up I found is when Teresa is discussed randomly by people who watch the show “oh she’s the chick who threw the table!” that, sadly is what Teresa is known for. She’s the one that started Bravo on their need for over the top drama.

    This blog is probably one of Caroline’s better blogs without all the need to bash someone.

    • Lee says:

      Albert mentioned it at Jac’s Xmas party in S3.

    • Seven says:

      Albie and Chris mentioned it in this episode when they were making fun of Teresa.

      • boss lady z says:

        Well, what about when Melissa brought it up when she was admitting to Teresa she was in contact with Danielle? She said something like “I hated you, that’s how I handled it – Jacqueline & Caroline punch each other in the face, I talked to Danielle.” Why would Caroline even bring up Teresa saying it, while ignoring that Melissa brougt it up too? Caroline still trying to manipulate the viewers to only what she wants us to see.

    • Obvious says:

      Yes, and Jac and Mel mentioned it before too, soooo…. yeah….

  3. KeepnItReal says:

    PLEASE NO ONE REPLY ABOUT CAROLINE – WE DON’T CARE WHAT SHE THINKS AND TAKE HER OFF THE SHOW.

    • NYDeb123 says:

      I couldn’t agree more!

    • Idokeepitreal says:

      Some people like Caroline, so some of us do care what she thinks and leave her on the show!

    • Samantha says:

      After watching Caroline let loose last week and shake off the last remnants of Teresa, I think she’s awesome. If anyone in that family should be a lawyer, it’s her.

      • Keppler says:

        That would be a-mazing. Instead of trying to rebut a point, she could just hold up a sign, “I’m a Manzo. Our family motto is, ‘Hypocritical Bullshit.’ We committed this exact same offense last week and are still waiting on the medal we deserve, but since this accused guy isn’t related to us, just put him in prison 10-20.” It would really save a lot of time and streamline the judicial process.

      • JanShe says:

        Is that right, well I will reserve judgment on your idol.
        Lets see if Caro can get her brother Chris and sil Jac, off on all the charges that they are facing.

        BOTH of them are facing FEDERAL JAIL TIME, that is why they are gossiping about Teresa’s business. They do not want any of their business to come to light. (deflect, deflect, deflect)

        Fat chance of that happening, isn’t the Governor of NJ cleaning up that State. No more buying people off, for the Manzo’s. LOL

      • Cat says:

        That would require her going to school to be a lawyer and the Manzo’s dont do education…

  4. Melissa's Forehead says:

    Oh and Gino is the new milania lol.
    -he slammed Antonia in the head with a fork
    -he pushed Antonia to the ground during a photo shoot
    -he poured water all over Antonia
    - now he’s punched joe gorga in the face lmaooooo

    The gorga genes are strong

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      I wonder if Miss Andy will refer to him a brat? I thought was tacky when he did that Milana, and I’m still pissed about that one.

      • Obvious says:

        So he did call her a brat? I asked him. On twitter bc I heard he did on WWHL and he said “of course I didn’t” I always wondered why people would lie about that….

        • Andrea from Alabama says:

          Because we heard him day it. Of course he’s gonna say he didn’t say it. It was the episode of WWHL when Jacqueline and Khloe Kardashian were on.

    • OklaHW says:

      my husband and I couldn’t stop laughing when they showed the preview of what was coming up next on the show and out of nowhere Gino side punched joe gorga in the face and sent him tumbling to the ground! hahahahaha it was so out of nowhere then BAM! lol ….not gna lie, we rewound it a couple times

    • Jennifer says:

      Gino is cute like Milania. Milania is much much cuter though.

  5. Mima says:

    The only reason they are now keeping their blogs classy is because of all the backlash they received for their first 5 blogs. I won’t forget about the planting seeds and the other crap they tried to sell us.

    Funny pic of Caro

    • cacao says:

      i agree with Mima. She’s pretending to be a happy and positive person (to please us) who loves all gays (to please Andy).

      Cut the act, Caro. This is your 4th season….We are not stupid as you think.

    • Reeses says:

      Agreed.

      • Lucy says:

        i think they are not mentioning teresa because they realized the constant bashing was giving her more exposure.

        either way, she is the star. i’m putting my money on T to continue to come out on top

        • JanShe says:

          Their bs will come to a halt soon enough.
          They are trying to gain new fans by being nice.
          When the crap hits the fan, they will try to make us believe that it is all Teresa’s fault again.
          I find it hard to believe that Caro, Kathy and Melissa are being honest at the same time.
          SET UP ANYONE???

    • Obvious says:

      Or they probably saw my tweets to T about playing the game and keeping her blogs classy because they will hang themselves with theirs and their behavior (especially with Jac in their circle).

  6. Naomi says:

    How could you not be bothered by T bringing up the punching incident- especially the way in which she did it? She made a statement claiming that she should have punched J then wanted to take it back and did so by noting J punch C before…does anybody else see how T works? Deflect much? Roxy I read your blog all the time, first time commenting and really I understand you love T but it wouldn’t hurt to be unbiased sometimes.

    • plainview sue says:

      Caroline tries to deflect anything that is said about her family. Now she blaming the punch because of post partem?

      Jacq punched Caroline because Jacq left the baby with HIS FATHER so she could have a day for herself. Don Caro yelled at Jacq how dare she leave her baby (yeah, that’s how you should talk to a person with post partem). So Jacq slugged her.

      I am sad about how Jacq has evolved on this show. The first couple of seasons she was the one I would want to be friends with. Fine, she doesn’t want to be friends with Teresa. But she wants the world to hate her with as much hatred as she does.

      • housewife#99 says:

        And Caroline wants people to be sympathetic towards Jacqueline for post partem??? Um…what’s wrong here?

    • Capile says:

      Why would she want to take it back? Jesus, just like any reference to table flipping on this show means Teresa, any reference to being punched in the face means Jac. If Jac said she wanted to flip a table and then mentioned Teresa flipping a table, it wouldn’t be because she was scrambling to take it back and deflect. It would be because she screwed up the joke and wanted to make sure viewers got the reference.

    • Nicole says:

      FYI Jacqueline has admitted to punching a LOT of people. She punched Carolin because of PPD. But she also punched one of her “best friends” because they kept trying to talk to her/yell at her at a bar when she didn’t want to talk to them. Perhaps using the Caroline example was a bad idea on Teresa’s part, but please, Jacqueline has never once said she punched Caroline because of PPD. That’s just another excuse she and Caroline are using to make Teresa look like the big bad wolf.

      BTW, if anyone here deflects anything 99% of the time it’s Caroline, Jacqueline, and Melissa.

      • jen says:

        They (JAC-ASS & LARGE MARGE) talked about this season 1. BTW, why didn’t LM bother to take a dig at MEWHORE she also said I talked to Danielle because she was pissed off at T and that was her enemy instead of punching her in the face like J&C did.

        • jen says:

          Oh and they didn’t mention anything about her being dig. w/ PPD during season 1 reunion they were laughing about it so why is LM acting like T was making fun of her illness???

          • Lucy says:

            clearly the strategy was to blame everything on pregnancy – mel contacted D because she was pregs (what’s your excuse for the way you act now?) , and Jac punched caro because of PPD. ok girls – nice try! not buying it.

    • Obvious says:

      Naomi, this is a blog. Roxanne doesn’t have to be unbiased just because you want her to be or bc you like the other cast mates. A blog is a persons opinions put into writing. The reason why people come to her blog is because they may share the same opinion as her. If you would like to read a blog that loves everyone other than T, there are those blogs elsewhere, but I have not seen an “unbiased” blog in all my life. The only thing remotely unbiased is a news article, in which this is not.

    • Samantha says:

      I couldn’t agree more. Teresa’s favorite (and only, it seems) way to argue is to jump in before the other person even finishes her sentence and scream: “YOU DO THE SAME THING!!! REMEMBER THAT TIME 57 YEARS AGO WHEN YOU…” [insert similar accusation -- ANYTHING will do.]

      • Samantha says:

        That WAS pretty funny when she tried to cover herself after she heard what she said (“I SHOULDA PUNCHED HER RIGHT DEN!!!”) Yut oh!

    • Kristina says:

      Actually, Melissa brought it up first during her convo with T….then T mentioned it in Interview. So, if it TRULEY bothers Caroline, that someone other then a Manzo is mentioning the punching incident for the millionth time on camera, than I think it only fair she scold Melissa as well. Go read Melissa’s blog….she even apologized for using the punching incident as an example to T….kudos to Melissa for taking responsibility for once in her life…haha…even though the Manzo’s gave her a pass.

  7. emma says:

    I feel like Caroline is so stubborn. She has an uncanny ability to twist things into her being right as if she is the housewife whisperer. She needs to humble herself quite a bit. I do agree that Teresa having a falling out with Caroline and Jac did help her mend things with her family, only because when you view friends as family and then learn that they are not, you see how valuable your real family is. Caroline and Jac are just too mean spirited for my liking. I understand why they would have some issues with Teresa, but not to the extent they have. If there is something we are missing that explains this, I am confused as to why they haven’t addressed exactly what it is. Caroline is a liar in my opinion…so sad.

  8. Andrea from Alabama says:

    Caroline, I did not take talking about Jacqueline hitting in he mouth as a dig at postpartum, seeing as how when we heard about it, it seemed lime you got hit for butting into her business. Now I see that you’ve conveniently put a spin on it. Jacqueline was suffering from postpartum. Interesting. I’m curious as to why that wasn’t said when you first told the story on season 1 reunion. I also want to know why it’s fine for Melissa to say that when Caroline and Jacqueline are angry with each other they punch each other in the face, but it’s not cool for Teresa to say, Jacqueline might punch me, since she punched her sister in law? Or why it’s cool fir Melissa to be in contact with Danielle, and do hurtful things to Teresa, but not cool for Teresa to answer a question (asked by HER BOSS ANDY COHEN) about danielle, “because shed be bringing her back into your lives after the hurtful things she’d done to your daughter.” It seems that there are one set of rules for everyone else, and a whole other set for Teresa. But Teresa got their asses good last night. I have an exclusive for you. Any minute now there will be a warrant issued for the arrest of Teresa Guidice. Yes. That bitch killed Jacqueline when she walked in and didn’t speak. It did not help that Jacqueline looked like a washed up dead Cheetah, and Teresa showed up looking like she was coming to the party after doing a fashion show.

    • Seven says:

      Yeah and Caroline was laughing when she talked about Jac punching her in the face, so it wasn’t such a serious issue then. Hypocrite. She just wants to distract from the point that their family is dysfunctional as hell and need to get off their high horses and stop butting into everyone else’s business. What was disappointing was Jac making a dig Teresa’s bankruptcy, that would be nasty even if she weren’t such a hypocrite with her own alleged criminal money issues (alleged embezzlement is worse than just declaring bankruptcy, am I wrong?) but Caro mysteriously isn’t saddened and discouraged by that.

      • hoolie says:

        Jaconuts dig about Teresa’s bankruptcy was our first glimpse at the “Real Jacqueline”.
        Nasty little piece of work. A covert Caroclown… 2 of a kind.
        I do see why poor asslee is the way she is.

        • emma says:

          I’ve thought for a long time that Ashlee has been emotionally traumatized by her mother. How sad…I feel bad for the poor girl. I know she isn’t the nicest, but she has been guilt tripped about being born for as long as we’ve seen. Jac needs help

          • Andrea from Alabama says:

            That’s true she does guilt trip Ashlee because she had her young. Call me crazy, I didnt think that Ashlee was out if line for saying that to her last season; it is afterall what Jacqueline had said to her. And then she’s made her entire storyline about her “selfish party animal daughter.” Call me crazy I see nothing wrong with a 19 year old being selfish and parting. I would prefer that she does it now while she has no kids, or other responsibilities. Jacqueline is a real trip.

          • Keppler says:

            I agree. She comes from a wealthy family, it’s not like her partying and sponging are putting her family in the poor house. The Manzo kids are older and they live off their parents too, nice work if you can get it. I always thought Ashlee’s crack about not having a kid was trying to convey to Jac that it’s not a dire emergency for her to have her life all figured out and start acting like a responsible adult at 17 because she doesn’t have a kid or bills or all the responsibilities Jac had at that age. Their situations are different. Yes, she needs to grow up eventually but I can’t blame her for wanting to have some fun for a while and not deal with the stress of being guilt-tripped for being born. Why can’t the Manzos give her a job or business opportunity like they give to all of their other lazy kids?

        • Jennifer says:

          Hoodie,

          You nailed it Jac is a true to light “mean girl” a la Jill Zarin

    • NYDeb123 says:

      Great post! Loved it :)

    • jen says:

      How dare T answer Danielle back cause thats bringing her back into J life? first of all the convo between Danielle and T had NOTHING to do w/ J. Second, why did J invite Kim G into her house when she saw a pic of her standing w/ Danielle at the court house to file charges against Ashlee??? Then she is fake crying to her husband she talked to her after how she hurt my daughter. But C and her kids could talk sh*t about Ashlee all they want and that doesn’t piss her off, Kim G is welcome in her house just so she could get the gossip and latest news on Danielle. SHE IS PATHETIC!!!!!

      • Andrea from Alabama says:

        Jen, as relevant as your post is, it doesn’t make any sense beggars we’re trying to reason with stupid. We could also ask, why everyone wants Teresa to get along with her sister in law and brother, but Caroline and Jacqueline don’t get along with Dina. Did any of you hear Jacqueline’s response to how things are with Dina. Dina knows Jacqueline for what she is, and Teresa went over to tell Dina “bitch you told me Jacqueline was a paralyzed face double talking stupid idiot, but I refused to listen.”

  9. rachel says:

    Um why doesnt she scold melissa she brought it up too!!

    • michers says:

      The only target right now is Teresa. They can only gang up on one person at a time, thats how they roll! Grown women and their husbands pick on one lady at a time. Keepin ‘ it classy !

  10. Lee says:

    The problem I have with Don Caro and Jac is they refuse to owe to the fact that the fight on Jacqueline deck was an ambush. On WWHL, Jac admitted she wanted Teresa to talk about her bankruptcy to prove to the viewers that the Guidices are profiting from public sympathy. Jac is a liar, she knows the Guidices were forced to deal with the bankruptcy on the show because Danielle revealed it on S2 at the Posche fashion show and it was all over the news before they started filming S3. In addition, the Gorgas and the Wakiles were asked to join the show on the condition they would expose Teresa.

    • Capile says:

      Even if Jac didn’t know Caroline was coming over (she did, but let’s pretend she didn’t), if you don’t want to ambush someone, when someone else shows up unexpectedly, you say to them, “Would you mind wating inside so Teresa and I can finish our conversation in private?” or you let them sit there, but when they try to join in you tell them to stay out out of it because you don’t want it to be a gang-up. You DON’T encourage them to gang up with you and start freakin’ role-playing with them and then deny it’s an ambush.

      Jac also isn’t stupid, first off no one feels sorry for rich people in bankruptcy, they feel smug and judgmental. Second, if Teresa wanted to gain public sympathy, wouldn’t she be eager to spill her guts to the cameras and cry and talk about how scared she is instead of doing the stiff-upper-lip old school keeping it all inside thing that she does? Every negative Teresa-bashing story the Gorgas and Manzo-Lauritas plant is in US Weekly, which has bigger circulation than Life and Style. Many more people watch RHONJ than would ever read an article in Life and Style, so Teresa’s way of getting sympathy doesn’t make practical sense and is less efficient than the means they use to try and destroy public sympathy for her.

    • Shipp says:

      Per Jac Wack… it wasn’t an ambush it was an “awakening”. I wanted to punch her right tru the TV. Filthy drunk is gonna awaken T? Bloated boose bag counldn’t even awaken her snot nosed, spoiled brat, Asslee.

      • michers says:

        I took that as her knowing Caro was coming and it was a planned ” awakening ” then! Her name is LIAR. Im so sick and tired of them and their bs. UMM, when and where is Jac’s awakening, I would love to RSVP and say I will be there. No open bar please.

  11. deborah says:

    CAROLINE, I BELIEVE TO FORGIVE IS MOST IMPORTANT THING GOD WANT OF US. YOUR SON DON’T SEE IT HURT HIM. THERESA I BELIEVE IS GOING THROUGH ALOT OF THING IN HER LIFE,SOMETIME YOU CAN TELL YOUR FRIEND WHAT PROBLEM SHE IS GOING THROUGH,SOMETIME PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THEY BREAKING DOWN. PLEASE TRY TO LOOK AT THAT WAY. LEARN HOW TO FORGIVE AND MOVE ON

  12. Jay says:

    This show makes me sad.

    • Obvious says:

      It makes me sad too. That’s why I don’t watch anymore. Still like to read up on it, though, since I watched from the very beginning in season 1.

  13. JoJoLaMa says:

    That line about the punch being a result of Jac’s hysterical PPD outrage is CAROLINE’S story. Jac herself has never said that. The only thing Jac has said about this is that Caroline scolded her for leaving CJ with his father so she flipped out.

    • jen says:

      I think i remember JAC-ASS saying she was hormonal, which almost every one is after child birth, that does not mean you have PPD. Shmae on Large MArge for trying to get sympathy for something that is not true!

      • Jelly says:

        You don’t KNOW if it’s true or not, Jacqueline could have had postpartum, but doesn’t want the world to know about it and said hormonal instead. People LAUGH about certain things that happened in the past because they are over it now and realize how crazy it was. It’s not like it happened 2 days before the season 1 reunion.

        • jen says:

          I would almost bet my life she did not have PPD!!! They would have jumped on that for a story line so they could get more camera time. And if they are over it why bring it up now? And why is it LARGE MARGE the one bringing it up if J didn’t want the world to know???

          • Jelly says:

            I highly doubt they would use that as a ploy to get more camera time. Seeing as how CJ happened BEFORE RHoNJ was even filmed or thought about. They could be over the whole PUNCHING incident, I think Jacqueline used it as a reference point when she was talking about having problems with in-laws.

            Her name is Caroline, I don’t know who Large Marge is but I don’t recall that name ever being on RHoNJ. I don’t know why she brought it up, it wasn’t her place to bring it up if it’s true. I have no reason to think it’s a lie.

          • jen says:

            Well they had no problem using danielle’s arrest from 20 something years ago to get camera time :) and see how easy it was for you to guess who LARGE MARGE was. DING DING DING we have a winner!! LOL

          • Jelly says:

            Yes, because Danielle’s arrest was public record and well Danielle is crazy. With her little entourage that she had around with her please. This is different.

            And hey, your sarcasm? Doesn’t help your argument any if you are rude.

          • jen says:

            yes Danielle’s arrest was public record! But honestly how often do you decide to do a backround check on a friend? She was arrested over 20 years ago, not a week before filming RHONJ for murder and if they were that afraid for their safety they should have not filmed.
            I guess thats why they shipped Ashlee across country, wasn’t she charged with assult too???
            Oh BTW I’m not being sarcastic!! LOL

          • Say What?? says:

            Jelly once again you are the one being rude to people. You’re not a moderator and this isn’t your blog so you have no right to talk down to someone for posting their opinion. If you don’t like it don’t read it. Youre being rude and have no right to chastise Jen… and then say her sarcasam is not appriciated. That’s laughable

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        Jac actually said Caroline came over and scolded ( can’t remember the exact word ” her for leaving CJ with Chris. She was careful about how she said it, but I don’t recall her ever claiming it was due to PPD. It is entirely possible she was suffering from PPD AND Caroline is a domineering, buttinsky, bou boundary-less a*shole who overstepped her bounds. I hate Jac, but criticizing a mother for leaving the kid with his father for a few hours is seriously out of line. Caroline keeps saying it was all due to PPD, and Jac, to my knowledge, has never corrected her. But Jac herself has never uttered those words.

        • michers says:

          JoJo- you are correct as they never once even mention PPD at the reunion when they broadcast the “punch” on national TV. I think Jac was still new in the family and was not used to having to kiss everyone’s ass, and didn’t realize yet that she was to be a minion, and she could no longer be “her own person”. Lost that right when you joined the “family” girlfriend.

  14. Nicole says:

    I love how Caroline continues to TRY and take credit for anything positive Teresa does and any step the Gorgas/Wakiles/Giudices take in mending their friendship. She continues to harp on the fact that she tries to put a lid on their family feud yet she’s the one person who keeps running her mouth about how terrible Teresa is TO HER OWN FAMILY. I can’t even.

  15. Bionic says:

    And why is it that the Manzo’s and Laurita’s can drag shyte from years ago when it comes to others? They bring up stuff that is not even important, yet someone else can do it to them? FACK THEM ALL!

    That’s what people do. Deal with it and it is what it is. When you have done something in the past… it will come up eventually here and there. That simple. It’s perfectly fine for Caroline to do her interviews and throw digs at everyone else. Yeah ok.

  16. KeepnItReal says:

    Let’s start our write-in campaign. Take Caroline Off the Show.

    If you agree ditto

  17. NonnaB says:

    DITTO

    As ppl have said upthread, no reasonable person would think Teresa was making fun of or making light of Postpartum depression ( which again, is CAROLINE’S interpretation of why it happened ). Teresa was drawing a contrast between the problems she has with her sister-in-law and the MULTIPLE problems Caroline has had with MANY of her in-laws and own family. I think Teresa was trying to say to Caroline (and Jac) ” Someone who has several siblings unwilling to even speak to her; someone who actually GOT PUNCHED by a sister-in-law, ought to be careful how much sh*t she talks about other ppl’s families.”

    I really do not understand all the hypocrisy week after week! Caro addresses the “punch” incident and expresses shame toward Teresa( of course!) . Why is it always ok for all of them to do and talk badly and publicly about Teresa, but about them its a big to do? Yes, Teresa is FINALLY saying things back and you want to knock that too? So they ALL can do whatever and say whatever and act however, but anyone outside of their current circle or flavor of the week, is not able to? The punch was a huge piece of their lying and acting all BFF ; we all knew that was not really the case. I guess Caro would rather T and Mel punch each each other and move on then! She is so full of doo doo. This nonsense about moving out of the way for them to heal is a crock also. She has no excuse as to why she turned out to be the matriarch of BS, so thats the next best thing to say I guess. She sat on that couch and LIED to Kathy and everyone else. Which, I would love to know finally why Caro knew and did business with Kathy and Rich for 20 YEARS but never befriended them or invited them to ANYTHING until they joined show and ruffled T’s feathers. She may as well have told Kathy she was using her, and told T she was doing it on spite to get her out of the game!!!

      On WWHL last night J said that T went to Dina after their fight,which I guess pissed off her and C. Why she even mentioned that i have no idea because every episode so far her and C have been running their mouths to M & K about shit going on. She really comes off like a moron. She says stuff not realizing she is doing the same thing she is accusing people of.

      • Calm and Cool as a Whistle says:

        Not to mention that it was hardly news, anyone that read the blog that Dina wrote after the reunion already knew that T had gone to Dina after a big fight with WackyJac and CaroClown

    • Candida says:

      That is my point we are watch the show we see and hear their contridictions I am insulted that Caroline and her herd of family think we are that stupid; one episode she isn’t friends with Richie and kathy and 2 or 3 episodes later they are friends for 20 years; I AM NOT STUPID PEOPLE AND PRODUCERS

      • michers says:

        The thing with Kathy really bugs me! The episode last season when T was still hurt her fam joined, Caro started to get really snippy and impatient with T. It seemed so spiteful that she invited Kathy and Rich to New Year’s party. She herself mentioned that Al and her have done business with them for 20 years!!! Yet, they were NEVER “friends’ and never invited to anything before. Its obvious Caro was working undercover with the intent that Bonnie Grippe leaked about Jac tearing T down. Caro is way more sneakier than Jac. She has used Teresa’s family in a horrible way that leaves lasting marks. I do not think an”I am Sorry” can really heal that, but she is so cold hearted and bitter, she probably is not sorry and that is demented!

  20. jen says:

    I can’t stand these 2 anymore!!! Large MArge the show is changing. Why because you and JAC-ASS are coming off like the two morons that you are??? C is going to step away so T and her family can work it out. REALLY??? Then why was she talking shit to Kathy and Melissa about T??? Why did JAC-ASS say on WWHL T went to their family when they got into a fight? Didn’t she see any of the episodes thats what her and LM were doing.

  21. Stacey says:

    Chuckie just STFU. You’re just a bitter, nasty, hypocrite. Period. Shame on YOU for blabbing to Kathy and Joe Gorga at the party about what happened with you, Teresa and Wacqueline.

  22. PandaBear says:

    I agree the dynamics have changed on the show. The worst thing that happened on this show was the Dina vs Danielle thing. Dina was good for reality TV, her daughter Lexi (?) was entertaining and sweet. Dina, Teresa and Jacqueline were all actually friends and around the same age. Not quite as old as the housewives on NY or OC. The show could have done without Caroline and Danielle in the first season and added two friends they all share. It was funny, light and very Jersey :) !!

    Do they even do anything fun on this show anymore? From the recaps things that should be fun aren’t (field day, gay wedding). More comedy less created drama.

  23. Reeses says:

    I could be wrong, but wasn’t it Melissa who brought up the punch in the face incident? And regardless of why Jac did it (depressed or not) there is no excuse for violence. Why is she trying to justify getting punched in the face?

    • jen says:

      Yes M brought it up too. But M is not on their sh*t list yet so wait for maybe season 6 or 7 and LArge Marge will bring it up and have her hung for it LOL

  24. maribel says:

    Gosh, I could swear Melissa was the one who brought up the punching incident…

  25. Candida says:

    I don’t go to Bravo’s website to read or comment because they don’t respect my opinion; typically I don’t read Carolines’ blog and I know why she just got to paragraph 2 and bashed T again; because of T’s comment about Jac punching Caroline in the face and she continued to go on about the fact that that was a low blow by Teresa; everything her family and Jac and Chris has said about Teresea, her kids and her husband WAS ANY OF THAT A LOW BLOW

    EXACTLY WHY I CAN’T WAST MY TIME ON CAROLINE; I REALIZE ROXY HAS TO POST ALL COMMENTS BUT THIS IS WHY I CAN’T FINISH READING CAROLINE’S COMMENTS SHE IS A FAKE AND PHONY

  26. Candida says:

    And one more thing Caroline is also a bit delusional like Jac; no wonder they are so tight.

    • michers says:

      Puppemaster, pulls Jac’s strings. Jac is a lapdog to stay in the family. Without Chris, who will want her now acting the way she does. No one in their right mind would want to clean that mess up!

  27. RahRah says:

    Caroline just doesn’t have any integrity or credibility but she thinks she does..she is so incredibly biased.

    due to their financial problems, Joe and Teresa are coming through with strength and character meanwhile their castmates are a bunch of crying babies, Caroline in the words of Suge Avery (Color Purple), “you sho is ugly.”

  28. RahRah says:

    aligning yourself with the wakiles and gorgas does not impress me one bit, it just proves the strong prey on the weak.

  29. Daisy says:

    Caroline needs to put a sock in it. Sick of her and her entire family. I hope she and Jax hit the road.

  30. Jennifer says:

    Oh Dear Lord!!!! The Manzos, Gorgas, and Lauirtas have a hormonal and chemical basis for every one of their actions. Caroline and Jac you put it out there as a sign of Jac aggressive nature and it could be used against to poke fun. I would have used it.

    My goodness, Jac’s language with F word over and over in a condescending way was vulgar. They all use the F word too much, but as a true epithet. Jac did and I have not seen it as much since Danielle was on the show

  31. Debbie says:

    Don’t let the door hit you on the way out-lmfao

  32. julie says:

    bye caro-clown take ur over grown adult children with you and your puppet wacko-jacko…thx

  33. Dan_The_Man says:

    I try not to side any which way, bcuz over all the show is suppose to be sheer entertainment. I like em all equally but it definitely stood out to me when Jac told Tre “You are the master of flipping things around, don’t switch this on me”. And then thats actually what happened during Tre’s interview when she was like “I should of punched here right there..”… and then she caught herself and was like “not that I would do that, cuz its not my style” and then she switched it around and said, “cuz you know Jacqueline punched Caroline, so its something she would of obviously done to me”. Ummm…what? How did it go from im gonna punch you to oh, I should be careful cuz she’s gonna punch me. lol. I love Tre but sometimes she’s comical.

  34. Anonymousey says:

    Cow-aline is so full of shit it’s coming out of her eyes. She makes me sick.

  35. Rosalie Marie, says:

    That’s odd? I thought that was Melissa who said, “We don’t punch each other in the face like Jacqueline and Caroline!”

  36. Rosalie Marie, says:

    All these women and especially the husbands should feel embarrassed. I am wondering if everyone trying to get a story from Teresa to sell to the tabloids themselves? Perhaps that’s why Joe Gorga really wants therapy? To tell Melissa what happened in therapy and Melissa runs to the press with that. Melissa confessed to giving Danielle information as ammo against Teresa. Who is to say that Melissa isn’t feeding the negative stories to the press? I can honestly see that Melissa would run to the press on all these people, including her own husband. Still, these people are constantly chattering on and on about Teresa. God Bless Joe Giudice’! He clearly loves his wife and defends her like a loyal husband. Joe and Teresa will have a long and lasting marriage. God is looking over them.

    • Say What?? says:

      I have always thought that is why the ladies are angry at Teresa for not telling them about her private business. Teresa isn’t giving them details so that they have nothing to sell to the press. The only one making money off her troubled situation is t and that’s how it should be!

  37. Debbie says:

    Caroline-Jac did not punch you in the face because she had PPD(that was never said)it was because you questioned what kind of mother she was. If anyone EVER said anything like that to me, they would be picking their teeth up off of the floor. Also-do you SERIOUSLY think you removing yourself from Teresa is helping her FAMILY relationship? Someone thinks pretty highly of themselves, don’t they? How’s that radio advice show going???

    • Debbie says:

      Exactly- she went out and left Chris with the baby and he couldn’t handle it and called Caroline to come over. That is when she questioned Jacq about what kind of mother she was.This was said on the reunion. What a bunch of freakin liars. Do they think we have short term memory

  38. Housewife#99 says:

    So, now we know how the story is going to go. Melissa has ‘fessed up and the Gorgas/Wakiles and Giudices are in a better relationship….that is until the Fashion show. I bet the Jacqueline continues to bash Teresa during the series and Melissa sees that as an ally to run to when she is approached by her ex-boss at the Fashion Show. Well, hasn’t Jacqueline and Caroline learned since then that Teresa was not the one who said anything about Melissa? I’m confused…why is it necessary to trash talk Teresa but not look at others who are doing the same?

  39. pennsylvania boy says:

    I bet you right now danielle is sitting back with a glass of ice tea watching the manzos and the lauritas fall like a cake in the even..Caroline…how does it feel to be a well disliked figure? and speaking of figure..when is christopher going to get his lapband?

  40. AlmaT says:

    What bothers me the most about Caroline is initially, I liked her. And I dont like it when Im fooled by peoples true character. I thought Caroline was extremely loyal to her family, I thought she was loyal to her friends and a loving and protective mother. Boy was I wrong! I think the reason why I was so fooled by Caroline true agenda and personality is because Danielle was made out to be the unstable psychotic villian, and everyone else was just her victims. Caroline bent over backwards to have Danielle’s dirty deeds revealed for the world to see…a ploy I now believe was to deflect from her husbands’ father shady mob-style murder and the mafia connections they more than lately have in the Manzo family. They didnt even want to speak on his mysterious ‘murder’ on S1 reunion just cried and glossed right over it. I did start to see another side to Caroline towards the end of Season 2…right around the time they all went with the Giudice to Italy…the facade was coming down…and the true calculating, bitter opportunistic side of Caroline was starting to show. The first sign over the real Caroline was, envy. Teresa large loving family in Italy…and all she did was complain the entire trip. Sorry but I called Jac number from the get go. The way she turned on Dina like that at that Dinner was just insane. Even if that was the truth and Dina was the culprit…why in the hell would Jac go off on her like that in front of non-family members, her husbands own sister. She knew Danielle was bringing that book, and she just sat there like the drama queen that she is, sipped her wine, and waited for the ish to hit the fan! I think Teresa is better off without them, I wish she moves on from all of them because to me they are all wicked, bitter competitive people. Melissa wants fame so bad she will sell her babies to the Devil for the price of admission. Kathy is a sneak, she plays the passive-aggressive motherly role to a T! Im not fooled by her at all! Caroline’s problem isnt just the cookbook, its the fact that when she and her family joined the show, she was hoping to dominate it, using it as a platform for her families endeavors especially those co-dependant boys of hers. But something happened that she nor did anyone else expect to happen…Teresa became the breakout star. Caroline pretended to be happy for a while, but inside…she was burning up with envy. Every ventor, every endorsement or idea Caroline and her kids came up with never went any where, (like the spinoff Albie & Chris were suppose to have) But every thing airheaded Teresa did turned to gold! They couldnt understand it which is why later on all you see is them bashing her constantly for every little thing she did. Maybe it started off as fun, a joke…but later it turned into malicious hate. Some have said that the issue which happened in Punta Cana was the reason the boys spin-off was cancelled. Im sure if that was the case, it only made Caroline furious at none other than Teresa even more. That was the first log on the Hate Fire. Then the so-called dig Teresa made in her cookbook about Chris’s lame-brain idea to open up a stripper-carwash. Caroline expressed that Teresa attacked her child was not being a loyal true friend. I guess if Teresa had supported that idea by promising the media that as soon as Gia was old enough, she would by Chris’s first stripper to work at his carwash, everything would be ok, right? Caroline is now trying to play the level-headed, do-gooder. She’s keeping those blogs very short and straight to the point, but if you read it carefully she is still trying to convey something hidden in the words she select. She wants the world to believe that she had a hand helping Joe and Teresa mend their family issues. I find it funny that she had absolutely NOTHING to say about Melissa contacting Danielle and took the time to plug her wishful music career. She also couldnt help herself but to try and sway the viewers into believing Teresa made a careless comment about a woman suffering from PPD. Caroline really thinks she is so smart, and has the ability to fool people. But this is one viewer that isnt buying the ish she is selling anymore. She is an evil and bitter woman. She has raised insecure, condescending co-dependant kids that cant seem to cut the ambilical cord long enough to step away from their moms spot light to make something of themselves. I found it appalling how Albie and Chris sat their like little girls and made fun of Jac and Teresa…implying that Teresa was to stupid to understand what Jac was talking about. First of all, Albie is the one with the learning disability that couldnt get him into law school, or the police academy, or anything else Im sure he’s tried to do since and before the show aired. I found that to be just absurd that he would actually joke and laugh about someone who doesnt know how to express themselves properly, not because of ignorance but because English isnt her first language. You got youself some real winners there Caroline!

  41. michers says:

    Hmm, something interesting caught my eye. A tweeter took to Teresa’s twitter this eve, to remind her that July 9, 2009 Caroline’s blog says about T- Tree is a great mother, etc.. love love love,muah muah muah, something to that effect! Pretty interesting considering that Caro denies ever really being her friend or loving her and her family huh? And here we are after that darn cookbook a couple years later and some peeps can’t handle how great T has done, and they were never friends, blah blah blah!

  42. camm says:

    Where are all the comments on Bravo blogs???????????

    Somethings fishy… I remember in the heyday of Danielle Staub haters flooding to trash her on Bravo blogs it was acceptable. Why did they take down the comment option now??

    • michers says:

      Camm I went on yesterday and thought that was very odd, not one!!! They are rigging some more things I m sure. I also went to message board and it said @ bottom ” you cannot comment ” ??? They know that crap is going to blowing like a volcano!

  43. tome says:

    Dose anyone know why there are no comments on bravo anymore? even after I log in!

    • michers says:

      Nope. Im sure its due to everyone calling out the bully liars :) I have not seen that happen once in all of the years Bravo has had that website.
