Is Melissa and Joe Gorga’s Marriage All Just Show For The Cameras?
It seems like the drama with RHONJ never stops! Housewife Joe Gorga has always acted “so in love” with wife Melissa Gorga but is it all for the camera? A lot would think so and according to RealityTea it is! Apparently their marriage has been all for show!
Sources reveal, “Melissa and Joe are not this fantasy couple. They are totally laying it on thick for the cameras and because Teresa and Joe are not in a good place. Melissa and Joe have had their own share of issues. This whole nonsense of him putting her on a pedestal has all stared since the cameras have been rolling!”
And get this Joe Gorga has also been accused of cheating on his wife. Surprise? Not so much! “Melissa had her own bout with Joe’s infidelities. Joe made a lot of demands on Melissa like staying thin even when pregnant.” Oh please! Like Joe of all people should be making demands like he’s Brad Pitt or something? Gag!
The source adds, “Melissa is thrilled to be #1 in her husband’s eyes. For a long time, she was #2 and Teresa was #1,” our source shares. “Joe always wanted Melissa to be just like his sister. Joe created a lot of this competition. Melissa’s family was always second to Joe’s. Now, her family is #1. Melissa is thrilled to be #1 in her husband’s eyes. For a long time, she was #2 and Teresa was #1. Joe always wanted Melissa to be just like his sister. Joe created a lot of this competition. Melissa’s family was always second to Joe’s. Now, her family is #1. It was one thing Teresa had that she didn’t and she wanted it too.”
And that’s not all! “Melissa does like Teresa and her husband fighting. Melissa has let fame get to her head very quick. She and Teresa have ALWAYS been in competition and now Melissa LOVES that Teresa can’t one up her about fame.”
I could have told you since day one that Melissa and her sisters were jealous of Teresa prior to getting on the show. Or that the relationship between Joe and Melissa is phony. I mean they try so hard. They got on the show and immediately tried convincing the viewers that they are so in love! If you really love one another you don’t have to constantly prove it! Are you surprised by Mel and Joe’s marriage? Do you think this family will ever get in a better place? Thoughts?

I’m sorry. But I love my boyfriend. And we will get married in the next few years. BUT it isn’t always perfect. We aren’t always lovey and touching and all over each other. It is not realistic. My mother has always told me marriage is work and anyone who says they have the PERFECT marriage probably has the worst one of them all.
Ugh who cares they are so lame and desperate. Go away Melissa and Joe Gorga! Please go away……
I am so sick of Melissa and Joe Gorga. The are low life bottom feeders and I fast foward through the parts of the show they are in because they are so effin boring and all they do is bash their family. They are pieces of doo doo!
I don’t even consider Joe and Melissa part of Teresas family anymore, they are not her family they are thieves trying to steal everything she has worked for. FAMILY WOULD NEVER DO WHAT JOE AND MELISSA HAVE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO. They couldn’t make a name for themselves because they are trash so they bring down a family member in an attempt to be famous because they have no talent of their own.I can’t even watch them on the show they make me so sick I have to fast foward.
I’m not surprised. I’ve always thought that their lovey dovey act was just that… An act! The HO always looks disgusted to be around him because he’s a dirty pig, and the SHRIMPY LITTLE TOOL lusts after her so badly because she never gives him any booty. Lol. He lusts after many women, so his wife isn’t as special to him. As long as he gets attention from any woman… He’s good!
He’s such a little whiner about everything… He wanted her to stay skinny while pregnant? Are you kidding? You’re no Ryan Phillippe or Tyson Beckford. Get the hell outta here! JoeHo isn’t even attractive! His blank stares gives me this weird vibe about him…
FINALLY… SOME OF TRE’S REAL SUPPORTERS ARE VOICING OUT ON HERE! THANK YOU ALL FOR SUPPORTING TERESA, XOXO
Your are right- they are so lame and desperate-they are the ‘Gagas”-they make us all GAG!!!
Let’s all just sit back and watch all the skeletons come out the closet…Meho and Joe u wanted fame + u try to destroyed Teresa and ruined her success well gues wat Karma will come back and bite u in the back.
Amen!
Double smell. They ruined the show.
Agree with you
To me, its been obvious this was all for the cameras. Melissa is a horrible actress and to me, it seems she cant stand Joe. She worked hard to turn him against his sister and it finally worked. Couples who have been married that long with kids dont act the way those two act. something has ALWAYS been off with those two. its a matter of time before the truth is out.
I agree. They seem to focus alot on Tre. Melissa seems angry all the time and Joe looks like he is about to explode
they expected more success by now.. Stump has spent alot of money out of his own pocket to make his wife a music star.
She is being laughed at for the way she sings. and although she has fans, she is not open to any criticism. She lies to people and now that she is on TV, she cannot keep them straight and she stands to be embarrassed on national TV.
they will look even more miserable as the season progresses.
I tweeted you hi!!!
Ok i think i replied. lol I read twitter and follow people but havent tweeted much so i hope i did it right!
You did. It took me sometime to figure out where the responses were….I keep think these people too famous to respond…..bitches!
So you are my first Twitter friend!! Ugh….is that totally lame I said that???
I’m gonna follow you both if I can find you on twitter
Are your names the same as here? Mine is @cammienolan fyi
No , not lame. My first twitter friend too. Its cool bc now i have someone to tweet lol
I followed you @cammienolan !
I have to disagree in your comment of “couples who have been married that long with kids don’t act that way” my husband and I have been together for 10 years, and just celebrated our 6 year anniversary and we have 3 boys with 3 different disabilities and how Joe and Mel ACT for the camera is about the same way my husband and I are, but we don’t act, lol. But on the rest of your comment I do agree with you
Sorry, I do not mean to offend you-acting IN LOVE is great, but what they do is just gross! You can tell is is not real, and something is very OFF about that way the are with one another. And I believe that some people (lucky you!) do have the real thing-they clearly DO NOT-they are slimy low-lifes
Love and lust are two different things, Joe does not love Mel he lusts for her just as he does every women he sees, he is a pig and that he has not been able to hide from The cameras!
Actually the tiny man is a snake, full of poison, on several levels.
Now come on, How Many Times does Poison Dumpster have to lip sync that auto tuned proof. How many times, how many times? Poison said, he now had the proof. LOL
And in your next article, you’ll post that this article was all rumors. C’mon Rox. I think you being such a Teresa fan has you jaded towards the others on the show.
This article has nothing to do with me being a Teresa fan. I’ve always felt this way about the couple and I’ve made that clear fom the beginning. That’s my opinion and you’re free to express yours
!
Love love love your site. Been here only a month or so. You’re always fair.
I think Rox is always fair
Should she only post mels side of things like Reality tea does? Melissa releases 2 stories a week to them bashing Teresa but if ONE blogger is on Teresas side and doesnt like Melissa and Joe then she is called Jaded…
How about ROL bashing teresa with every story? Showing old ugly pictures of Teresa while showing current shots of Melissa..every annonymous source story favors Melissa and Joe. isnt that interesting? is that jaded? More like those bloggers dont want to keep thier “annonymous source” happy.
Ummm it’s very clear the the RUMORS came from Reality Tea…so go complain to them about putting it out there. I read the Reality Tea article yesterday so it’s not as if this is an EXCLUSIVE put out there by Rox.
How about BRAVO – a whole TV network bashing Tree for 2 seasons straight?
No joke- I hate Bravo now!
Why shouldn’t she post it? It’s an article about the RHONJ.
Hello! This was on Reality Tea! And of course their lovedovey bullpoop is an act to try and make the viewers think they are perfect and T is jealous. Even Stevie Wonder could see that
Tracy, that is completely misguided. It was Rox who published Melissa’s paystubs (they weren’t even paystubs but whatevs) from her bartending job a few months back and recanted what she had previously said about her formerly being a stripper. She writes what her feelings are about the information presented. And if new information surfaces that changes how she feels, she will print that too. Rox is very fair. Not to mention, this information came from Reality Tea, it was not given directly to her.
Not buying it! All pathetic rumor! Melissa and Joe couldn’t fake their relationship on camera, off camera and in every photo. They clearly love each other. The only one that would do everything in her power to dispute that would be Teresa!
So all these rumors are false? All the people from Melissas past that come forward and use their real names are all lieing? If thats the case then how can you believe all the people who come forward with stories about Teresa who DONT put their name behind what they say? Its not logical.. But dont worry, soon enough the truth WILL come out and we will see all of Melissas dirty deeds. No one goes on a reality show and keeps their skeltons locked away.. they will come flooding out soon enough.
Exactly WHERE in my post do I say that all of the rumors against Teresa are true or that I believe everything that has come out against her???
Lame
I’m with you, Ellen! Not sure why people seem hell bent on disputing their relationship. Let them and their 3 kids be.
@Tracy……Hmmm so we should let the Whore and the Stump “be”. Well, the Whore and the Stump and their hater their team should let Tre, Joe, and their 4 lovely daughters be. Get it?
They brought themselves into this along with their 3 small children. And doing it by making a film promising to bring down Teresa.
Justice has not yet been served.
Amen
Oh, but it will be -they WILL lose that house-you’ll see
The whore and the stump went on TV to scrutinize their own family for fame. They’re phony and jealous. They didn’t rest and let Teresa “be” when she was successful on the show. They wanted some of the pie. And they speak poorly about Teresa in every scene/interview/article they do.
thats how they guarantee being kept on the show. But my instinct says that Bravo may want more from the whorgas than bashing Tre.
They are already getting lots of negative attention because of their unforgivness.
The next step will be the exposure of their dirt. Drugs, sex, real money situation, the backscene harassment by the rest of the cast and hanger ons, to both Tre and her followers. That’s how to get some ratings!
Jac is an absolute lunatic, so sooner or later when they out megors dancing (stripping) past. Jac’s head will spin off to think her story will be exposed.
Wow! That’s delusional logic Tracy. I would be thrilled to “let them be”. But they wanted to be On Display On Display. So letting them be … Um. Too late for that fairy tale. I guess if everyone loved HoGo’s then “leaving them be” and your crocodile compassion wouldn’t sound like this……… .
On another thought… RT is typically so pro-the-ho. And then last week the witches (meho’s sisters) own fan site started putting out negative stories on them. Do I hear a house about to fall in Kansas??
You mean like they are -” letting Teresa be”???
I don’t like them-they make me sick-I will say whatever I want about them and you do the same-do you get that???
I’m so sick of Melissa and Joe and I don’t give a shit if their marraige is fake or real, they suck, they lie and they are boring as hell zzzzzzzz
You said it!!!
Yes they could, its not impossible, especially when they are getting paid! But even if it weren’t true, they keep trying to MAKE themselves look that way to everyone. No one has a perfect relationship or marriage. Good- yes! Bad times- yes! perfect- No. If they can do what they have from pre-gaming to get on the show with a nasty strategy to someone who is family, what makes you think that they are great goodhearted people that do not have any shadiness to them? If they met in a strip club, how lovey dovey of a “perfect” non flawed marriage do you think they are in? Just a thought.
I don’t get why they brought up the comment Teresa made about Melissa leaving Joe 3 months later. Why doesn’t Andy ask the tough questions in person? I hope he does tomorrow.
Please!!!!! Melissa was bashing everyone on the show until she got on!! Now she is so happy and not an ounce of jealous.. Bs . In the real world anyone would envy a sister hitting the big time.. Her and her sisters are scum. They arr so fake and fulll of crap. Joe is a moron and a normal everyday man would slap him across his bald head. Famous for being on a drama filled show will not last.. Their marriage is a joke. Be real asswipes. Cant stand joe on that show! Manzos are garbage as welll. No talent whatsoever. Mel is full of shit..
True! She hated Caroline and all of them. She trashed them all over the internet and now shes on the show she is BFFs! She is so transparent.
and that shows Caroclown’s ability to judge character. Non existent.
on dispay on display
hehehehe…very true..on display whether they like it or not!
I just threw up a little in my throat. I hate that auto tuned piece of crap music. Did I say music? Shame on me.
I agree…seriously, if the whore had a voice why wouldn’t she have attempted a career in music???
No she married the troll, who clearly IS full of poison, and auto-tuned a song that she spoke and didn’t really sing. God I despise both of these people. I feel so badly for tre’s parents and kids. I also feel badly for the whore and the troll’s children..they have dreadful, deceitful parents. They make my skin crawl.
Also, hasn’t she been ringing the DWTS staff daily to gt on that show. I did read that somewhere. She must have been poisoned by osmosis.
Yes maggie she was twitter stalking them after she met Maks! She even had a poll going up for people to vote for her to be on…. yuck. There would be another show down the tubes.
My mother always said the measure of a man is how he treats his mother. Joe has ruined his mother’s golden years with his vile poison and I’m talking about his words on national t.v. about his own fambly. He is Melissa’s little puppet. And she is driving him to the poorhouse just as he deserves.
@maggie @michers. DWTS only hires NON pro dancers. Don’t forget, the Whore was a paid professional dancer/stripper.
OFCOURSE it’s for the cameras!!! Teresa is the breakout star, so Melissa and Joe will do whatever they can on anything to beat her. If being the cuter couple is what they can beat her at–they’ll fake it!!!
the joke is on them
because they are not cuter, the scenes with Juicy and the girls, even though they are grittier because Juicy is suffering and not too nice, they seem real.
The cracking remarks at the kids, have not been offensive to me, this is how people talk to each other where I came from. Not always nice but the love is there between them.
I prefer to watch Tre and her family over her brother,SIL and their kids.
I love Tre, Juicy and their girls. They’re are the only real family on the show! They are who they are. The others are so fake and slimey, it’s sickening.
i agree completely,,, I could watch a show involving just the Guidices. They have alot going on. And the girls are funny and interesting, I grew up in a family of girls… it would be right up my alley! Please someone take them out of the hell hole they are currently in and give them a spin off.
That’t right- all the other do is talk about Teresa-ha!
Let’s all remember sweet Milania, when Juicy was putting the slide thing on top of the car… “omg ur so strong. Ur like a dragon!”.
Such sweet unbridled love for her strong & can do no wrong daddy. Thats the way most little girls see their dads at that age.
Agreed… I love the real unscripted relationships between Tre’s four, and between Milania and her bestie Antonio.
they are fun to watch… I love the girls!
THAT WAS THE BEST EVER
I believe it is fake. Teresa & Joe seem like they have a real relationship more than Joe & Melissa. It’s so obvious Melissa and her sisters and those they associate with are overcome with jealousy of Teresa and all she has. I remember reading one of the sisters facebook accounts way back when and when someone would post something rude and insulting about Teresa on her wall she would “like” it. A decent secure person does not “like” insults about a member of their sisters family. They all want to be Teresa, they want her life, her success and to be adored by loyal fans the way Teresa is. What they fail to realize, is the reason Teresa is adored and successful is because she is real – something I have yet to see from the wanna be sisters. Unfortunately for them, the only “fans” they have, aren’t that smart and cant’ see what is really going on. Also unfortunate, is that people like that generally don’t have a lot of money so good luck with the song sales – I’m on my way to buy some cookbooks
ITA! They are trying to hard to prove to people they “love ” each other.
I am not sure about Joe and Melissa’s marriage being in a bad place, no marriage is perfect. However, I do believe that Melissa has probably spent a lot of years competing with Teresa for Joe. Just as Juicy has spent a lot of years competing with Joe for Teresa.
I agree. If Joe G pitted his wife and his sister all these years…that is despicable and sick.
@Belle557 I totally agree with you and think you’re right on.
Joe created a lot of this competition.. I said it all along, just listen and watch some of the things he does. He knows his wife and his sister are in competition and because his ego is probably bigger than his you know what he fuels the fire. I see show Mel looks at him when she thinks the cameras aren’t watching, sometimes it’s with utter disgust in my opinion.
I agree again. The disgust is what tipped me off that they arent what they portray themself to be. She cant stand him touching her and is disgusted with his behavior. I dont really blame her for that. Its the fakeness she puts out that bothers me.
Why does she need to go after Teresa? She got on the show, thats what she wanted.. why not focus on herself and create her own storylines, let the viewers get to know her.. Instead all we really know is she is Teresas hateful sister in law.. truthfully thats all we know! In EVERY story about her, thats how shes described.
She messed this up.. she should have developed her TV personality and allowed viewers to “get to know her” instead she will forever be known as Teresas vindictive sister in law.. Still in Teresas shadow. Outsmarted again by the “stupid” one..
Teresa has outsmarted ALL of them!
Great point Say what. If she came on the show as her own person instead of Teresa’s enemy, she might have been likeable. At this point she could never redeem herself. The sad part is she doesn’t see what most of us see. A desperate cartoonish grown woman acting like a teen in heat dreaming of being a pop star. If she came on as a mom, housewife and loyal SIL, she wouldn’t be the joke she is.
Say What? the reason she needs to go after Teresa is because that’s what she promised Bravo. Yes, she got on the show and that is what she wanted. But the price she paid in exchange for getting on the show was to destroy her sister-in-law. So she never even gave herself a chance to be likeable from the moment she signed the dotted line. And the irony is that she is so narcissistic that she doesn’t even realize it. She’s so in love with herself she thinks that everyone else will be, too. Regardless of what she says or does and regardless of what she has said or done in the past. She thinks she is flawless and that others think so, too.
This is so true!
She reminds me of Kate Gosslien. That crazy woman was a narcissist.. So I think youre right that Melissa is one too. She does appear to believe everyone loves her when that seems to be far from the truth!
^This.
yep,,, like he is a trick
his “you know what” is probably the size of a circus peanut. which also adds to his ego issues.
true that
And taking steroids doesn’t help his “you know what”. Tiny man, in every way.
Oh now, come on, you know it’s not that big
Too many unknown sources. However, I do think Joe shows too much PDA to be believed and Melissa always looks like she’s not all that receptive to him. Since he and Tre were so close, I can see how he would hope that his wife would be as accomplished as he felt his sister was. Hence, the jealousy and arguing start. Melissa is a very manipulative person. She plays the “poor, pitiful me” role perfectly. I don’t see this family coming together barring a horrible tragedy like the loss of a parent and we would hate to see that happen to anyone. Too many harsh, hateful words have passed between them. I wish Bravo would get rid of the Gorgas and Manzos and we could get back to a fun series again with some minor drama thrown in.
It is obvious that they are putting on a show. It doesn’t mean they do not share some love, but they share more closely other things.
Like a fiendish desire to be on TV. Sex focused past. Desire to be better than the Guidices (forgettaboutit).
Bravo is disgusting with their editing, but the cameras do not lie. Tres brother and his wife clearly have a seedy and bumpy history. She is a pr*ck tease, and he is a gross pig. Both of them have probably cheated by now due to their own sexual proclivities.
That is what stands out most to me.
The show doesn’t really approach the subject of the blogs and twitter info we get about the cast. Andy the little bitch of Bravo, doesn’t ask questions about the Former Lookers employee and her sister and their hate machine on those media outlets. The ugly side of their harassment.
Once you have seen that side of this couple. It is much easier to believe that they have both of these two have been putting out sausage and sushi.
sausage and sushi. I lol’d
HA!!! ITA about Bravo and their bitch Andy!!!
LMAO, sausage and sushi. Perfect discription.
And now I’m blind. Hahahaha!
LMAO, I know, my eyes, my eyes.
I’m confused. Isn’t this the exact opposite of what was said about Teresa and the Joes? That Teresa caused problems with her husband bc she always compared him to her brother. I remember watching an episode where Teresa herself states this.
Now all of a sudden Joe Gorga was doing it too? If so, there is something really funky regarding joe and Teresa’s sibling relationship. Just…ew.
I think there’s always been some sibling rivalry between them, in Italian families the daughter is the princess and the son is the prince, so I believe that they have always been competing with each other in some way. I also believe that BOTH T and Joe Gorga have pitted their respected spouses against each other..Maybe there are reasons we don’t see, like T not liking Mel and Mel worrying that T is going to derail her gravy train, or Joe Gorga not liking the way Joe Giudice treated his sister… it’s very telling that Joe Gorga would say Teresa is in denial…she isn’t in denial about her financial issues, but maybe, just maybe her brother has an issue with how his sis was treated as a mother and a wife.
I think all the bad blood between these two families stems from someone trying to protect his or her sibling and butting in where they maybe shouldn’t. I can definitely see Joe Gorga opening his mouth to Teresa about Joe Giudice and we have seen Teresa do that to Melissa. I believe over the years the Gorga siblings have had a big hand in how acrimonious things have become.
I think all the bad blood between these two families stems from someone trying to protect his or her sibling and butting in where they maybe shouldn’t.
—————————————————————-
I totally agree.
No I do not think the family will ever be in a better place. Certain people have made sure of that. They may be able to be cordial, but close relationships are out the window! I do not think any of them will ever let go completely of the past, too much hurt and drama. One word or look will probably always turn something small into huge blowout. Damage is done, people have turned on each other, sense of “family’ does not exist.
Last season everyone was accusing Teresa of creating competition between the Joes. They all need to realize life is not a competition
I could of told you all this from day one. Family just don’t go on national television with other family members they don’t get along with. So, of course, Joey and Mel would do anything to “appear” better than the OG Teresa. From Mel’s comments before rhonj aired she was doing anything and everything to defame the show. She was always jealous.
Also, Joey and T we’re super close before they got married. Some issues occurred bc of juicy, but nothing major (T comparing juicy to her bro). But juicy is secure in himself and doesn’t get involved in drama. Now here comes Mel and Joey compares her to his sis. Knowing how trifling Mel is, she gets jealous, competitive, stalker ish, and starts to fight dirty. Now problems happen bc she can’t keep herself in check.
I think it’s just a bro and sis who used to really love and respect one another once upon a time. They were all they had since the rest of their fam was still in Italy. When they each got married, their time and attention started shifting to their spouses (as it should) and they didn’t know how to juggle both relationships without the other feeling neglected. Juicy may not have appreciated the comparisons, but he’s a man and doesn’t get into drama, whereas Mel pretty much lost it and sicked her crazy witches of eastwick sisters on T…. and that brings us to where we are now, folks.
I believe there is some truth to this article because of the conversation Teresa and her brother had in S3 at the restaurant. Joe Gorga complained to Teresa that she turned her husband against him because she constantly complared him to her husband. When Joe Gorga built a new house she put the pressure on her husband. BUT Joe Gorga did the same thing to his wife by constantly comparing her to his sister. Even Dina confirmed it when she was on WWHL with Andy. Teresa and Joe put each other first before their spouces. This tit for tat argument needed to stay in the privacy of their own homes. Teresa was an original housewife who started the show with her friends. Becuase of the discord between these two couples it was a mistake for the Gorgas to jump on Teresa’s coattails for fame. Joe is old enough to undertand that airing out the family dirty laundry is not worth the pain and humilation he is causing to his parents and children. Because Don Caroline and Jacqueline are enablers to the Gorgas and Wakile’s for not taking responsibilty for their actions.
good post,, alot of points not often considered, but should be
Im confused. Do you mean when Joe giudice built Teresas house melissa put the pressure on Joey? Because Teresa had her house first.
Joe Gorga built his house first. Remember Mel and Joe moved in because they could not sell it. They were living in their house when Teresa was building hers in Season1. Teresa put the pressure on her husband to build her a house. Remember at the restaurant her brother mentioned that T was jealous they finished their house first because Joe Gorga took out a huge construction loan to finish it.
I dont think thats right. Gorgas home was built and on the market. It was never intended for them to live in. They moved in when Melissa signed her BRAVO contact.
Teresa had her home first. Remember Melissa gave her the house warming card that said congrats on your redone house.. lol Then Teresa send her a mean card in return when Melissa had her house warming party?
Teresa deffinetly had her home first. Long before Melissa.
DUHHHHHHHH anyone with eyes can see that
Ha! Joe Gorga has someone asking him on twitter if when he met melissa was he attracted to her morals or body? His answer- Body, lolz!! My guess is because she didn’t have any morals!!!!( Dated May1). He got what he was ” LOOKING” for!
Well it certainly wasn’t for her brains.
Obvsies, lol!
Okay, I admit I haven’t even read your article and theory yet, just the headline, but I’m ready to declare OF COURSE IT’S A SHAM!!!! Okay, now I’ll go back and read the article and all your comments.
lol JoJo.. its something we all saw coming. I hope all the skeletons come out this season. Its time to see some vindication for Teresa.
First of all, the woman’s actions ALWAYS seem to betray her words whenever she has to get close to JoeGo. Whenever he even goes in for a kiss, she looks like she wants to BARF. In the beginning, I thought it might be more of an embarrassment thing like ” Ok Joe, Lets not be sexual in front of the cameras! That’s private!” But she doesn’t even want a kiss and she looks truly disgusted, not embarrassed to me.
JoJoLaMa – I agree. And when you compare Joey and MeGo’s interactions to Teresa and Joe’s interactions with each other in the first episode of season 1, I think you can see the clear difference in who is fakng attraction and love. There is no faking between Joe and Teresa, but you’re right about MeGo and Joey; from her I only see disgust and from him I see a possible sex addict.
one of my favorite scenes with Teresa and Juicy was at the restaurant when she asked him if she could get boobies. After joking about it with the waiter he said “happy wife, happy life”. He genuinely seemed to live by that philosophy. They have gone through some really tough times and his behavior hasn’t always been the best but IMO Teresa and those kids mean the world to him. He seems to tolerate the cameras and the show only because it’s what Teresa wanted.
Hannavas, have you recently watched season 1? I recently watched it and my opinion of Joe Giudice changed a little. They showed him as a loving husband and father up to the point of the gay slur. Since then he’s been shown in a bad way. Its hard to blame editing but i do believe he is getting a bad edit. I also believe he is dealing with some depression and maybe a drinking problem. It must be difficult for him as an italian man to have his wife being the bread winner. Not to mention the stress of basicly losing his own career. I still cant give him a pass on all his behavior but i understand a little better.
I loved that too-it was the real deal without a doubt!!
all the way from kenya africa…am a fan of rhnj.correction -was a fan.team teresa all the way..she is not perfect just like nobody is and does not try portray herself like an angel..that makes her real.frankly the gorgas and wakiles should have taken the road nene and marlo took.marlo was brought with hopes of clashing with nene and they ended up being best of friends and disappointed the smalls.if melissa teamed up with teresa they would have been unstoppable.in my country we have a saying that unity is stronger than division (translation maybe lost..english is not my first language). family is very important and seeing a family divided like that is sad. i feel bad for teresa because just a year ago my brother and i were in the same situation.we were a year apart and a girlfriend of his came between us.we were so close growing up that watching him forget all that and trash his family was hard to handle. it took him dying to realize that all that drama was bs and petty and it never really mattered.now all of us including the gf live in regret and guilt and would hate for that to happen to teresa and joe.as sad as it maybe, sometimes it takes something tragic to quit the bs.
So sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine losing one of my brothers. God Bless you.
Your statement “unity is stronger than division” is not at all lost in translation, and furthermore, it makes perfect sense. You are so right
Warmest Regards!!
I’m not going to even comment on if I think these rumors are true or not because they are just rumors and the “source” didn’t give their name. Plenty of rumors have been spread about Teresa and her marriage, too. But I DO want to point out something that did give me pause:
IF there is some truth to the idea that Joey used to put Teresa before Melissa, thus creating competition between the two of them (or at least in Melissa’s mind) it certainly explains her strange transformation from the old Melissa to the new carbon copy of Teresa-Melissa. If you look at old photos of her from when she and Joey were first dating, she looked nothing like she does now. Her hair was lighter and it is naturally curly so she just scrunched it and let it air dry it looks like. She didn’t wear a lot of make up. Her wardrobe consisted mostly of jeans, tank tops or t-shirts and sneakers. Now, she has jet black hair and it’s always done. Just like Teresa. She wears a lot of make up. Just like Teresa. She always has on sparkly, or furry, cute little outfits and always wears high heels. Just like Teresa.
If what that “source” said about creating competition is true, then Melissa could have very well thought that the way to boost herself up in Joey’s eyes was to become Teresa. So she did.
That’s scary.
Mel lost her dad at a young age, that’s sad for anyone to go through. Looking at it the way you described, I could almost understand her wanting to copy T, and be in competition with her for Joe’s affections. Maybe a sad thing that turned into an ugly thing…
You might be onto something there bhurst girl. It could stem from losing her father, whom we know she adored, and seeking out that same adoration from another man. Melissa speaks very highly of her father and it is obvious that losing him had a deep impact on her. I will never begrudge her the loving relationship she had with him because it is clear that it was genuine and that it still affects her.
I do have two observations about this though:
-Her copy cat routine with Teresa is well documented and it has gone on for years. There could probably be another book published just with the photos that exist of Melissa copying Teresa. I’m not exaggerating…they are out there. Why wouldn’t her VERY supportive sisters have pointed this out to her at some point? This is not normal behavior. It’s actually embarrassing! Why wouldn’t they tell her that she looks like a fool and to knock it off?
-Now we know that Teresa was being truthful when she wrote in her book that her baby sister-in-law copies everything she does. It clearly bothers her! She even said it to Caroline when she was questioned. “If the shoe fits!” Is she wrong? How can anyone accuse her of “taking a dig” at Melissa when the proof is right there that Melissa is actually doing this? Teresa is not lying!
I keep saying it over and over. I don’t think Melissa even realizes that she does this. Even when she was confronted with it (in the cookbook) her response was “I don’t even HAVE a front porch!”. She is oblivious to the fact that it is abnormal to copy everything that another person does. Which is why she A) doesn’t know she is doing it. Because she thinks it is okay. And B) why she was taken aback when Teresa called it out in the book. She seemed surprised as if this was the first she was hearing of it.
The strangest one to date was a few weeks ago when Teresa tweeted that she was taking – I think it was Milania – to the movies with a picture of her in the back seat of the car drinking a Slurpee. The next day Melissa tweeted that she was taking Gino to the exact same movie along with a picture of him in the back seat of the car also drinking a Slurpee. I mean, come on. There is NO WAY that was just a coincidence. She either did it on purpose because she copies everything Teresa does and that now includes her children. Or she did it on purpose just to try and get under Teresa’s skin. Either way, it’s bizarre and someone should tell her to cut the crap.
Remember that conversation Tre and Joe Gorga at their dinner where he compares the two “youse are both flashy…” I totally buy Joe starting sh*t between the two women.
He’s a digusting sorry excuse of a man.
Exactly! That’s why I’m stunned at Twits that are positive Teresa is jealous of MeGo! What?!? Teresa had everything first! What planet are you on! Lol
Who cares about these two any more they are disgusting, disrespectful, dirty and just plain mean!. I have had it with these two clowns they need to leave the show
I second that.
Well, this is just shocking news…bahahahahahahah….bahahahahahaha…who would have ever thought..bahahahah..bahahahaha..These people are about the lowest scum I have ever had to endure on TV..I haven’t been watching this season because I won’t support this crap…& you know what? I feel better. I am not wanting to rip anyone’s face off after Sunday…..Try it..
I have tried it,, and it is very nice to not watch… it has become so aggravating . andy oh little bitch,, please take your head out yo ass, and get rid of the whorgas
I think Melissa’s love is all an act, sorry to say. I also think Teresa sees this and it’s one reason she’s not a big Melissa fan. However, I think now that there are children involved, Teresa is hoping that Melissa and Joe’s marriage succeeds. I also think she’s afraid that being on a reality show might not be the best thing for them-lots of stress, lots of rumors, and LOTS of made up stories in tabloids, which isn’t the best thing for a marriage unless it’s STRONG.
I think as long as Joe has money and is willing to spend it the way Melissa wants, she will be there. Not so sure what would happen if he went broke
Teresa also knows that when you sign on to a reality show everything is fair game. All the skeletons come flying out of the closet and onto the pages of tabloids.. Teresa also knows all the rumors and stories that have been floating around about melissa for YEARS. So it makes sense she would not want them on this show or any other reality show.. she knows her brother is going to be humiliated for the world to watch.. and Teresa herself knows how that feels. I agree with you!
P.S.. you know if you plan to run for an type of public office the first question your manager will ask is “is there anything in your past that could embarass you?’ So they can prepare for the moment it comes out.. This is the same question people considering a career in reality TV should ask themself.
yep I agree, but people always think they won’t get caught lol. I also think Melissa wanted fame so badly that she was willing to take the risk. Sad
she’s going to dump him. teresa and her mother will help joe be caretakers of the children
she’s going to dump him. teresa and her mother will help joe raised the children.
Something that really bothers me about the former Lookers employee and Mr. PW Joey is they never eat dinner with their kids. Kids seem to eat by themselves in the kitchen. I when see the two of them eating dinner at home it is just the two of them at that long table. It always looks staged to me. I just get this feeling that they are just not into spending time with their kids and being a family unit. Dinner at Juicy Joe and Teresa’s always includes the kids and sometimes one of the parents.
That’s because it’s a proven fact that Hookers can’t cook. Stump probably stops by his mom for a real meal.
you are prolly right… so much of their household does not seem child friendly.
that bar hopping to hawk her CD’s is a seedy way to make a living for a woman with little kids.
And the shame of that is that it is better than what she was doing for money before she had them. Stump is effed up, someone needs to shut him down.
I think it is staged- mean while at Teresa’s -Joe is chopping something with what appeared to be a pampered chef chopper, Teresa is at the stove and the kids are running and yelling and are underfoot-that is what my home was like when my kids were babies, that’s the real deal right there!! Bravo-you are really missing the boat on this one!
If this is true I actually feel sorry for Melissa.
I do want to point out that I don’t agree with her behaviour and the things she has said (from what I have seen/read)
If you are in a relationship with someone it can be difficult enough at times without having to deal with wandering eye/cheating/created competition between family. Like when Joe G told Melissa what Teresa said about being a gold digger. My boyfriend would never tell me if any of his family said that about me – it is obviously bound to create animosity and cause further, unecessary arguments. Unless Joe G actually thinks it might be the case and he is using it against Melissa to try and keep her in her place.
I think he try’s to buy her love and affection through expensive gifts because he does look at/go with other women – ie the watch at Christmas – he is trying to differentiate between wives and mistresses.
I do think that M is a very attractive girl, and she could do way better than a short arse bug eyed J. Who clearly has short man syndrome.
Plus if he did put pressure on her to stay thin even in pregnancy, then it is disgusting. I have three children, with the first and third I didn’t put any weight on, only the weight of the baby, but with the middle I put on around 50lbs. Plus I was pregnant with my third when my second was 5 months old, so I am just starting to lose it now, and having three children, a house to look after and a part time job I don’t have the time to go to the gym and exercise. I can honestly say that I felt disgusting, massive, unattractive and vulnerable. I still do not feel good about myself and my third son is 9 months old, but I am less hard on myself because I know that with time I will go back to how I was. Women are hard enough on themselves, as is the rest of society, without having the one person who should live you regardless and be supportive making things difficult. No wonder Melissa regularly looks disgusted when Joe goes near her.
I don’t buy it.
Does anyone know what happened to Joe Gorgas prior fiancées (I believe there were two just prior to him meeting MeHo)??
There is supposed to be a portion of the Season where everyone will actually get along. All the rumor stuff will be put aside UNTIL they try to blame Teresa for the dancer set up. Yep that’s how it will go!! LOL add chef Jaime’s wedding and Ashlee’s leaving. Yipppeeee..nice job Bravo!!! You GO!!! You really had us all guessing… ooops…maybe I don’t have all the *seeds* yet or I did not *read between the lines* OMG how many times???
Love this comment!!
Is anyone really surprised though? I mean come on. Melissa gets on RHONJ and the FIRST season she’s already recording a song, really? But yet they didn’t do this for the fame, right? Or to get under Teresa’s skin? I like Kathy, have nothing against her….I am not all too crazy about Rich, but he doesn’t even bug me NEARLY as bad as Joe does. The constant sexual comments….if they have THAT great of a sex life, there’s no need to constantly talk about it or talk about how he needs to “release his poison”…….you got that much built up, then odds are you aren’t having as much sex as you want everyone to think you are. Those that TALK about it the most, aren’t the ones DOING it the most, just sayin.
As for Joe feeding the competition between Melissa and Teresa…..those that don’t believe that to be true, ask yourself why Joe Gorga felt the need to tell Melissa what Teresa said to him in private. You might say “he doesn’t keep secrets from her” or blah blah blah, but when it’s something that you KNOW is going to cause upset or hurt your wife’s feelings….then what’s the point in saying it, other than to cause a bunch of crap that will start a feud all over again. Joe could have kept that to himself and PRIVATELY (a word neither him nor Melissa seem to understand) told Teresa not to talk that way about his wife, and if she continued to do it they would no longer speak. SIMPLE. So what if Teresa holds the opinion that Melissa will meet a richer guy and dump Joe…..does that make it TRUE because it’s said? Nope. So why get THAT upset over it? Please, Joe and Melissa have BOTH said their fair share in front of and I’m sure behind the cameras about Teresa and Joe Giudice’s relationship…..no need to play innocents now.
And as for all the talk that has happened on the show about how Melissa is trying to keep the peace and not push things any further by outting what Teresa said. THIS makes me laugh the MOST. Okay, so if she was REALLY trying to be ultimate peacemaker here, then why does she make comments such as “if you HEARD what Teresa said, you’d understand why he’s so upset!”…..that is ASKING PEOPLE TO REPEATEDLY ASK YOU WHAT WAS SAID! Just let it go, the both of you, if you are TRULY going to let it roll off your back. And when Melissa makes digs such as…..”we’ll take one for the team so you can make a little cash”… uh, how is that being the bigger person? It isn’t.
Joe and Melissa are phony. Have been from the very start & to any that sit and think that they truly aren’t……we’re obviously watching 2 very different shows.
I agree.
You wouldn’t tell your partner negative things your family were saying about them.
It’s going to cause unnecessary pain and heartache, further animosity and possible fireworks. Why would you do that to someone you love and care about? Especially if they and your family dont get on.
In my opinion Joe loves the drama, wants the competition and is trying to belittle the person who is supposed to be the love of his life.
He is a shady, slinky person with short man syndrome.
I believe Melissa and Joey both to be seriously fake. They have clear motives. I read the Q on WWHL tonight would be Team Melissa or Teresa. Let’s vote for Teresa. Hope she wins this one!
Me too..but unfortunately I think the polls on wwhl are fixed.
LOL the polls aren’t that fixed…it’s just that most of the Teresa fans don’t watch the stupid Jackhole Andy Cohen!!!
Last time i text to vote in the poll i didnt get a reply until the next morning saying “thanks for voting” No idea if my vote was counted or not. I dont watch WWHL unless a housewife is on it. I will pobably watch tonight just to see Melissa put on her second face.
That’s right- and at one time I did like Andy-not now, he is bully and a Jerk.
I think it true love
i think true love
Let’s all think about this: To come on a tv program with the intention of showcasing a relative(s) in a highly negative manner while simultaneously making $$$ off of them in addition to taking the bread of their mouths – is pure evil. Additionally, trying to break up the long-term friendships of this hypothetical relative(s) in conjunction with teaming up his or her now former friends to ridicule in a most public manner – is pure evil. Yet, this is what the Gorga and Wakile family have no problem doing – and now the Manzo and Laurita clan along with them – while expecting sympathy and celebration from America. They are truly delusional hypocrites who are indeed evil to the very word.
I wonder how Bravo will spin the show tonight. Can’t wait to read Roxy’s synopsis tomorrow!
I know thier phony Joe and Melissa and Rich and Kathy those 4 people r pathetic they came on this show for 1 reason and that was to destroy Teresa and her family it’s obvious those 4 people isnt Teresa family they stab her in the back in every show!!! I dont know about everybody eles but where I come from family dont treat family like that. What Teresa wrote in her cook book about Melissa and Kathy’s husband Rich was the honest truth Melissa copies everything Teresa does she is so jealous of Teresa. I think Caroline is the worst she thinks she is perfect and her kids r perfect that she knows everything and no one can tell her anything cause she already knows all there is to know!!! and Melissa can say anything she wants she is the most materialistic person I have ever seen!!! if Joe was jus a regular Joe blow who didnt have any money or nice house and all the stuff Melissa likes she wouldnt give him the time of day Meliissa would never be with a man who didnt have the money and the material things she wouldnt live that kind of life!!! Come on Bravo take all 4 of those phony people off of there it’s sicking jus watchin them every week!!
Im sorry but i honestly don’t think that they’re making it up there’s nothing wrong with too much love granted all relationships have their issues. But let’s be real you can’t always believe the hype just because there are “sources” it doesn’t automatically mean that they’re true. When u hit that status that now you’re famous on tv and getting VIP treatment where ever you go that means that your circle becomes smaller and the haters start to flock towards you. So no I don’t believe this about joe and Melissa
wow Melissa must have bitten the hand that fed her for Reality Tea to start dishing dirt about her, I thought they were on the Gorga butt-kissing committee.
anytime Joe tries to get close to MeHO it’s noticable that she is grossed out (don’t blame her , but she married him) its clear she is only there for the “lifestlye & money”
