Jacqueline Talks Moving Forward With Teresa Plus Ashley’s Departure
Jacqueline Laurita talks the latest episode of RHONJ and discusses Teresa’s recent apologies, the poker night fight, and Ashley’s departure! FYI her blog is long as expected so grab some popcorn and sit tight!
“Ashlee’s send off wasn’t as cold as it seemed. It was hard seeing it play out like that. Although she had only one day to pack before she had to leave, we did have a heart to heart talk before she left, a hug, a kiss, a few tears, and some words of encouragement. I wanted her to learn as much as she could while she was at her Aunt Mary and Uncle Tom’s for those two weeks. She still didn’t know that her dad was going to surprise her there and take her to Texas for the summer to live with them, work, and go to community college. He wanted to retrain her as much as he could and try to get through to her. Ashlee is lucky to have so many people in her life that love and care about her and truly want to help. We just needed her to want to get motivated and help herself. She could only come back home when she had a concrete plan in place that she was ready to execute.
Ashlee has this crazy fear of flying, so we had arranged for her to talk to someone and get some medication prescribed to her to help get her through the flight. Other than that, she is not on any medication. The morning Ashlee left, she still had not finished packing. She had gone out the night before to say good-bye to her friends, and the next morning was a scramble to get her out the door on time for her flight. I don’t drive to the airport, because I’m afraid. I don’t understand airport directions. LOL! I also needed to be home to pick CJ up from school, so Albie volunteered to take her. He’s a good kid. I also didn’t want to take the risk of fighting with her on the way to the airport and have to send her off like that either. We had said our proper good byes, and I needed to stand firm and strong, although it was killing me inside. Tough love.
OK, so she missed her flight, big deal, sh– happens, so you just deal with it. Now I had to go through the good-byes all over again. I had a get together planned for the night that she was supposed to leave. I hoped it would help me not to think about it. I needed the company. Looking at myself, I can see how drained and sick I looked back then. I was in a bad place. Those times were not easy. I’m thankful for Chris, my parents, my brother and his wife, Mary, during those times for being my rock and helping me to cope with it all. Thanks to Chris, Ashlee finally made it on the plane.
I can’t even talk about that last scene with me crying looking at Ashlee’s scrapbook or seeing her as a baby without my eyes filling up with tears. When you have children, you only want to give them the best of everything and teach them everything you’ve learned so their life may be a little easier than your own. You want them to look back on a happy childhood and grow up to be happy adults. Nothing hurts more than when your kids are hurting, and if you can’t fix a problem they have or teach them to how to fix it, it feels very defeating and worrisome.
I will admit I didn’t miss the fighting between Ashlee and me when she first left. It was actually a nice break. Of course, after a while, I began to miss her very much. I still do. I still always worry about her, but we are in a much better place now and I am very proud of her. I love her very much. She has come a long way. We both have.
Lauren is my stand in daughter while Ashlee is away. LOL! I think Lauren is a beautiful girl with such a fun personality. When I hear her talk about her weight struggle, it breaks my heart. Lauren has never been one to eat a lot. She eats very healthy most of the time. She exercises quite frequently. I know it’s frustrating for her when she doesn’t lose the weight she wants. I think a lot of us actually feel the same way, so she is not alone on that one. Still, I can’t stand to see her hurting over it. I wish there was something I could give her to make her see what I see. I wish you could all see how Lauren looks right now. She has succeeded in losing a lot of the weight that she wanted to lose, and she looks amazing! I’m so proud of her. If you are ever in Franklin Lakes, check out her beauty store, CafFace. It’s beautiful.
The father-son moment between Richie and Joseph at the gas station was cute. Joseph looked a little uncomfortable, but he was very polite and respectful hearing his father out. He’s a good kid. As far as the inappropriate email he got, it’s funny how men are more lenient with their sons than their daughters in similar situations. I wonder if Rich would have been as laid back about an email like that if it had been his daughter at the age of 15 sending her private pictures to some guy on the internet. Somehow, I doubt that. LOL! It’s a man’s world, isn’t it? I loved Kathy’s reaction. She’s too cute.
Let me tell you something about Melissa and Joe. I love their relationship. They are best friends. I don’t care what anybody says, that couple is in love with each other. You can tell by the way they flirt with each other. You can see it in their eyes. I think Teresa is selling her brother short by saying that Melissa is basically a gold digger. Joey has many more amazing qualities to offer his wife than his money, and I’m sure Melissa sees that. I’m sure the money is just a bonus. The song to him was beautiful. It gave me chills. I love it! I downloaded it on iTunes. It touched me when he talked about how he felt about his wife and shed a few tears. I do think it was funny how their intimate romantic dinner started at opposite ends of a 10-foot long table. That was hilarious. OF COURSE it ended up in the bedroom. What did you expect? Anyway, I think they are a cute couple.
After the filming of Season 3 reunion, I had some time to self reflect, and although I was still angry and disappointed at times, I tried reaching out to Teresa to put our differences behind us and resolve things. I tried calling her, but when she didn’t pick up or return my calls, I sent it in a text to her. I may have even tweeted something too. We didn’t need to be friends, and it was OK for us to agree to disagree, but I just wanted the negative talk between us to stop. We are both guilty of talking about each other. Most people do talk negatively about the person that they are upset with, so I understand where it is coming from. Isn’t that the same thing you all do when you are upset with someone? Some of you are very vocal on Twitter and I’m sure in blogs with all of us when you are angry. The funny thing is and that you don’t even know us completely or even know the full story, so just imagine how intense it is for us? She and I both know what we feel each other has done to hurt our relationship, and we both have a different perception on the reality of it. We may never agree. One thing I know is that I lost a best friend who I loved and always had the best intentions for. I only wanted to help and I wanted us and our families to be friends forever. I hated watching her self-destruct. There are times when I’m still disappointed in things she did and said about me, and then there are times that I miss her very much. That is all normal.
I was happy to have read in Teresa’s first blog this season that she claimed to be in a much better place. It sounded like she realized her wrong doings and was trying to correct herself and move forward now. I thought, “Good for her.” That made me feel that somewhere inside of her, she was listening to me and now realizes now that I wasn’t steering her wrong. I needed her advice too. I also was going through a hard time myself. I do understand that sometimes when someone is going through a hard time, it is hard to see the pain of someone else. I think she just needed time to get her own things in order. That was her priority, and I understand that now. I was happy to hear that she was on her way and doing well. I was hoping she could finally put away all the meaningless petty stuff that was making her upset and will now be concentrating on more important things. I hope she and her family will be able to reconnect and that this time it will be real and sincere effort. I honestly mean that. I wish it for my own family
As much as I wanted to express what I was feeling at the time after each episode, after reading her blog, I started to change my mind. I felt like if Teresa really meant what she said in her blog about wanting to move forward, so there was no reason to regurgitate this past season. It would only open old wounds that we both have worked so hard to heal. I was willing to let it go. I realize that we were both right and we were both wrong. I wish her the best, and although I was happy to hear that she was happy, doing well, and appeared to have finally seen the light, a part of me felt sad that I am not apart of her life anymore.
Teresa said in her last blog, “I would love to resolve any of the outstanding issues from last year with my family and friends, because I do love them all, but it just takes time.” With that, I waited patiently wait to hear from Teresa when she was ready, in her own time, to finally talk, since she never returned my calls or responded to my reaching out to her in the past. Then came the apology in InTouch. Now let’s get to the truth. When I called Teresa, it wasn’t as warm and fuzzy as I expected. The bottom line was that we weren’t able to reach a resolution. I don’t think that she will ever understand other people’s emotions or what a true apology is all about. I don’t feel that our friendship will ever be what it was, but hopefully it will at least get to a better place. Baby steps!
Speaking of apologies, I was glad when Teresa took my advice to apologize to her family and friends about her cookbook, although she never understood that she did anything wrong or admitted to how it could have hurt anybody. She just said the words with no accountability. Clearly she meant some malice in her book. Remember her conversation with Caroline on my front steps when she had said about Melissa, “Well if the shoe fits…” But apologizing was all new to Teresa, so baby steps, I guess.
After Teresa had apologized in my kitchen to everyone and there was that long period of awkward silence, I did approach Teresa to hug her and I told her I was proud of her for doing that.
Nobody was really talking about Teresa in a negative way before she got there. It was more about Joe not knowing how to handle Teresa, because every time he would try with her, Teresa would bad mouth his wife. It was hard for him, but he was trying to let it go. So was Melissa. I did my best not to say a word about it or get involved in their family drama, but I did suggest that he apologize for calling Teresa “garbage” and that even though I knew it came from a place of hurt, it was inappropriate and hurtful in itself. Once again, I’m always looking at both sides. I see everyone hurting, not just Teresa. If I could have ended their pain, I would have tried anything at that point to help them find resolve. I hate seeing anyone hurting.
The fight between Joe and Richie started out in play. They were busting each other’s chops, like they always do, and when Joe grabbed Richie’s balls, Richie grabbed Joe and flung him into the couch where Joe’s eye hit an iron candle holder on the way down. Richie felt horrible about it, he called several times to apologize, but Joe wouldn’t pick up. It was an accident. A candlestick actually gave Joe the black eye. It was all rough play gone bad. Boys will be boys.
Gia has become a little mommy. She’s growing up so fast. She helps clean the house and tend to the kids. It’s cute to see her in action.
I always give credit where credit is due, despite my feelings toward someone. I am very fair. I will say that I have always admired Teresa’s ability to keep her head up with a smile on her face and persevere even during the roughest times in her life. Everything is always “fine” with her. Sometimes I wished that she would lean on her friends a little more than she did. That is what creates a special bond between friends. You allow each other to be there along with you, to help you through the difficult times. I was hurting knowing my friend was hurting, and I didn’t know how to help.”
I’m very happy to hear that Jacqueline and Ashley are in a better place but I find it annoying that Jac and the whole family were irritated with Ashley when she missed her flight and now she’s defending it? Jacqueline always seems to say these things about Ashley on RHONJ but after it airs she defends her. I guess it’s her being a mother. Just confuses me. I honestly don’t mind Jacqueline’s blog this week. I do think she is fair but I also think she fails to mention things like Joe Gorga completely ignoring Teresa and being so cold and acting like he didn’t read any of her books. Jacqueline puts a lot of blame on Teresa but I’m sure the reason Teresa didn’t want to speak to Jacqueline is because Jac called Teresa “scum” on twitter, said she was sneaky, accused Teresa of setting up Melissa, and put conversations out between them for all of twitter to see. I really think the two could get in a better place but Jac is never to be trusted.

AllAboutTRH Meets RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice
My biggest issue with Jac is revealing the things that Teresa said to her in private. Friends rant at each other all the time. If my Best friend told everyone my rants (said in anger) i would be mortified and probably wouldnt have many friends not to mention the husband rants about my own husband.. Its what best friends do. Teresa to this day has never revealed anything Jac has told her in confidence. She also has never said anything bad about Ashley or revealed anything Jac has said about Ashley.. You cant tell me they were friends for 10 years and never once did Jac say anything to Teresa in confidence.. Teresa has protected those words unlike Jac.. That is my biggest issue so far. I would never ever trust her again.
I also beliueve its just a matter of time before Jac gets angry at Melissa and spills the goods on her.
And another thing… Jac spills her secrets and yet expects Teresa to trust her and let her guard down and tell her all about her problems.. the bankrupsy again.. they want her to spill the details on the bankrupsy because its what the PRODUCERS want. That is why they filmed the last two seasons when they did… in an attempt to catch Teresa during the bankrupsy. But Teresa held strong… Why does it bother Jac so much that she keeps her business private? She could incriminate herself and her husband if she speaks about it.. What kind of friend holds that against you?
So i am not the biggest Teresa fan (don’t throw anything at me!!!!!). …kidding.
. But I have to admit, I can’t think of a time where she has gone off on other cast members the way they are. Something happened off camera and I am so curious to know what that is….the other ladies are so mad……
Teresa seems to be doing well and taking care of her family. Good for her!! While I do think her cookbook comments were meant in jest, regardless of the fact that she apologized, I don’t think she gets how the others felt insulted. That being said, it is time for the others to MOVE ON……..omg……seriously……
I hope these women can work it out…..I like Jac. I think she and Teresa were cute together. I wonder though….I wonder if Jac holds on to the animosity bc of Caroline???? Hmm…..
I loved them together also-I think Caroline is behind so much of this! Teresa has made many mistakes-they all have!
I wonder if its because of Caroline as well. I know Teresa is not perfect. I promise you i know she has done her fair share of bad stuff. Sometimes its not that im a Teresa fan but more that i cant stand what the others are doing and the hypocricy of it! It is kind of shocking to me.
I do believe its all over that fight in PC and they cant show it because of the lawsuits.. They can easily cut Teresa out of their life without doing it this way.
Call me crazy, but the fight in the basement where Joe left with a black eye? I believe something more was involved in that. They have every cast member there and only one camera man? Why didnt they show it? Was Joe in the right and this didnt fit with BRAVO story line? Or did joe get this black eye in PC and they faked the fight? Something is not right about that whole situation and i feel like BRAVO is dirty for trying to tell us a half story.
Could Joe’s black eye be from the Punta Cana fight? If I remember correctly, Joe or one of the guys had a black eye. Maybe they wrote this scene into the show to cover up and have an excuse for the black eye?
I think they were in Punta Cana in February and this scene is from June. They just got back from the shore unless this seen was taken out of sequence.
It’s odd they were able to film them playing poker, but then had to cut away and tell this in retrospect. Pretty obvious there’s some bullshit there on Bravo’s part.
I believe it was pc even though they changed things to make it look like it was filmed in the summer. They are hiding something. that seems the best explanation to me. Whatever it was im positive they didnt “miss” it on camera. They are hiding something but why? Did they really have to include that scene at all? They could have shown the guys playing poker and ignored the black eye, cut out the clip of the guys going to Joes for dinner… why did they leave it in?
Melissa and Joe saw that Caroline was turning on her. And jumped on the bandwagon to finish what they came on the show to do. Ruin Teresa. This whole season is set up to make Teresa look bad. Melissa says in the preview for next week that she thinks Jacqueline is only friends with Teresa because she feels like she has to be. Sound familiar… Kinda of like with Danielle. Teresa is the new Danielle. And I don’t know how Melissa and Joe did it. But they have turned the cast against her. But I am done watching. Until they burn that bitch Melissa on a stake! She is fake and it makes me sick to watch how unloyal Caroline has proven to be!
a dumb @ss like Jac, that’s who
This episode told so much about the whole dynamic of the NJ housewives that I truly feel sorry for Teresa. Lets start with Jacqueline, I don’t like that woman not one bit. Here was her daughter getting kicked out and the mother was with the one son trying to get him to say bye bye Ashley etc. etc. in a really sarcastic way. And then we have Albie coming over to take her to the airport and what does this idiot do, he leaves her suitcase at the top of the stairs for Ashley to take down (she moved it out of her room so that Albie could take it and he didn’t). This tells me that He doesn’t like her at all. Then we have the Jacqueline at the door essentially giddy for her to leave.
I know that Ashley is a brat and did drink and stuff but Kelly Osborne was correct on WWHL, she said that stuff that she does is her way of crying for help. But what the idot right next to Kelly didn’t undertand (Jacqueline) is the fact maybe the problem is Jacqueline. I truly think that Jacqueline choosed Chris and his family over Ashley and she was able to tell. And the mother allowed it to happen and that is why there is such a grudge against the mother. In fact the mother can’t stop taking shots at her when possible. I think Chris is in an unattenable position, he has a flaky wife who has made Ashley hate her and anything he does to question that would blow up on him so he just kicks Ashley out. And yes if I was Ashley I would hold it against her.
Melissa and Joe Gorga are funny, because something tells me that they are just on the cusps of financial ruin. Joe is acting like he’s a big realestate developer and Melissa (this is funny) trying to sing her next song and she makes comment about singing more ballads and the producer says NO!!!!!!! The reason Melissa is so bent out of shape about Teresa saying to Joe that Melissa would leave him for a rich guy is the fact that Teresa was spot on. If you don’t believe me look at this link.
http://famewhorgas.wordpress.com/category/dancer-at-lookers-wearing-the-cross-in-2003-cheating-rumors-golddigger-accusations-updated-4152012/
Oh and I still say that Joe needs to get a paternity test on at least the youngest kid. Something about being being born 9 months after her meeting with another of her ex’s at a Sushi Bar, and she was serving the sushi.
Joe Giudice is depressed (my opinion) because of all the stuff coming out and him losing the pizza place and other things and his wife being the sole bread winner of the family.
Also I think what I’m about to say is really important, up with Melissa cheating on Joe the midget. Remember the “wrestling match” that Wilke and Joe had in the gameroom during the poker get together. There where cameras down in the room during the whole mess, and then we didn’t have one mention of it on the WWHL from Andy or Jacqueline. I think Bravo edited out because something more was said than just let me see you get 8 inches in height. And for Andy not to make comment about it tells me something of a fight did happen and some very nasty words where said and possibly some secrets too.
Very insightful post……….. Kudo’s to you, Buck Henry.
I was thinking Joe Gorga said something nasty about Teresa and both Joes got in a fight over it and the black eye could have been the result. I dont buy for one second that they didnt catch it on film. Bravo is covering something up.. more than just the PC trip.
That’s what I think happened. Joe has already said some horrible things about his sister and Joe Giudice has come to her defense before. That’s one reason he hates Gorgo – for the way Gorga treats Teresa. So – your scenario is the most credible.
I agree Jacqueline’s parenting is awful and she as no awareness of it. Actually her latest screed makes me think she is suffering from multiple personality disorder. That would explain a lot actually.
Very interesting take! I would be interested in the sushi situation!! As far as the fight I think you are on to something for the reason you pointed out, very strange!
Listen, or read.. whatever… I sent Teresa a tweet that simply stated. Stop apologizing, you have nothing to apologize for, we all see it. 15 minutes later, I got an email that said Teresa is following you on twitter. I have tweeted most of the housewives some good, some have blocked me (Taylor). But this just is one more thing to prove in this fans eyes, that Teresa is human, and does appreciate support. I think this season will be designed to build Melissa up for an even greater fall, but I am not willing to stand by and let her take Teresa down in the process. We all stood together against the Taylor debacle, and Bravo seems to like to play on our intelligence and I for one am not stupid. I don’t agree with everything that Teresa has said and done, but given her hostile circumstances she gets a mega-pass from me. I will take Caroline and Jac down for Teresa. Melissa and Kathy will bring their own downfall!
She gets a mega-pass from me too. Take down the liars and bullies!
Count me in. There is no way I could have gone through a bankrupcy, lawsuits, threats of jail for my husband, cheating spouse rumors, my brother who I was so close to all my life calling me garbage, my friends trashing me behind my back, my sister in law telling my enemies including someone suing my husband information that could legal harm my family, rumors about myself and my husband and come out as strong as Teresa.
Teresa is not perfect, no one is, but is one of the strongest women I know!
Buck
You are exactly right about Juicy. I think that is way he has been short with Teresa and the girls. Teresa had things to keep her busy where Juicy was stuck at home unable to drive or work dealing with the girls. He loves them but last year was a year of major heartache and change. They have both weather the storm and are happier, healthier and have a stronger marriage because of it.
Preach it!
ME TOO!! <3 TERESA
I am with ya! I like and agree with your statement about not agreeing w/ everything she has said/done, but one reason I luv her is because she is the most real and realistic with all of this craziness! That is alotttt for one person to take, especially on tv , ganged up on, and blandished.
Agree! Mega-pass from me, too.
I tweeted Teresa if she had pizza recipes in her cookbook because that’s what real bad bitches eat and she followed me lol
please STFU
AMEN!
(someone please take her internet privileges away!)
I was yelling stfu to Jack and Kelly on wwhl last night Kelly of all people giving advice on how to apologize. This girl as a drug addict train wreck for ten years and now she looses some weight and gets on a show with Joan rivers and she feels like she can judge other it just blows my mind how entitled these people r.
Thank you!!!! Thought same thing. Boy, Andy is on a roll with WWHL! Then Teresa being sweet and herself, tweets nice things about that chick when she insults her.. Did you hear Jac say ” Insert foot in mouth”? Kelly had no business chiming in.
Remember that Teresa did apologize in person, in private, by phone, on TV and they kept up the same attitude with her.
So she did it in public too! That dumb bitch Kelly doesn’t know anything. She even stated that she knows Caroline and loves her. YUCK!
Thhis blog is so flip floppy; Jac never seems to make sense to me, she is always all over the place with her feelings sometimes. I am glad she admitted that she is wishing she was a part of Teresa’s life and I think alot of her actions stem from jealousy. I am so done with this season its not even funny. They need a SERIOUS recast.
And she needs to lay off the Botox. She’s looking like a puffy cat. No bueno!
Ahhh when I said this blog I meant Jac blog!! Not yours Rox
I think readers knew what you meant….
I am no longer watching.but reading all of this REALLY makes me happy that I did not have to cry last night. WE all need to stand together and stop watching this BS. From what I have been reading it is a Teresa bashing session.VERY SAD!!!!!
I am with you, I absolutely can not watch it, how self serving is this blog of hers “Jac’s”. When is miss “I am so self aware” going to publicly grovel for all her offenses, that’s all I want to know!
I am so with you on this. Had writes a crock of shit. It’s always had Teresa mistreating all us good folk. Had, go scratch
it is bullting at its finest hate every episode so far
it is bullting at its finest hate every episode so far
Folks, if you want to send a message to Bravo.
STOP WATCHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tre is on Celebrity Apprentice again next week, watch it instead.
I do watch it instead. But i still watch NJ..LOL
After this week though, i think im finsihed. I cant take what they are trying to force us to believe. They think the viewers are idiots.
I’m gonna keep watching, and keep expressing my opinion on blogs as to how badly they are treating Teresa. I don’t believe that me not watching matters to Bravo’s ratings. I don’t have a Neilsen box so I don’t think what I do will matter. I think watching it on Bravotv.com might show them how many people are interested tho, and many people who say they won’t watch in order to send a message to Bravo are watching it on Bravo’s website. I could be 100% wrong, or maybe I’m just rationalizing my watching it lol because I DO hate what they are doing to Teresa. Unless she’s skinning small children alive in her garage, she doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment from her ‘friends’ and FAMILY
I stopped watching RHONJ last year. The former Lookers employee and her husband ruined the show for me. I catch up via this blog (thanks Rox).
Bravo, NBC and Andy need to learn the hard way that we are not happy about what they have done to the show. It used to be fun with a little drama mixed in. Now it is nothing but a bash Teresa session each and every show. Teresa has a hard time expressing herself verbally and they all know and take advantage of it.
One thing I have noticed is that Teresa’s fan base is growing each week. People are see the meanest of Don Caro and the fake Gorga and Wailies and become Team Teresa. Even the former Lookers employee’s own fan account is now “team Teresa”. Teresa has over 75,000 more followers on tweeter since the S3 reunion.
oh yeah, she hasnt even said sorry to Teresa, sorry for acting like a child- we all know why Ashley acts the way she does- as soon as Jac is hurt, look, name calling, telling peoples secrets, putting conversations out there. It’s ridiculous. Teresa just needs new NO DRAMA friends. And Jac needs to shut it already
Please go away Jac. Bye Bye Bravo, Bye Bye Bye… I will be watching via Rox’s blog.
I didn’t understand why Jac was flippant about Ash missing her flight, either. Doesn’t it cost money when you miss your flight? I think that’s a big deal, especially when you are trying to teach someone responsibility!
a flight from NJ to Vegas should be pricey…
her family just acts like they can’t stand her behavior but they never do anything about it. If my daughter started to develop phobias to get drugs u better believe I would be making the crap out of her and get her on that plane minus drugs
many people are phobic about flying. I can’t believe that Jac could be so callous to her own daughter’s fears. Maybe she could have flown to Vegas with Ash and THEN dumped her on her brother. Instead, she kicks the kid out with no notice, sticks her on a plane and does a happy dance with her son. And who does Albie think he is clucking his tongue over his cousin’s behavior? What are his great accomplishments? Glad he’s not my cousin lol
That’s just it, Ashlee is not his “blood” cousin. She has never been a part of the Laurita family and realizes she is an outsider.
Altho T. has many issues, I haven’t read anything from her that was said privately between her and her friends — good for her! She never makes anything but nice comments about the others’ children — the others need to realize that that is NOT because there are no negatives about their children but that nicer people just don’t put them out publicly!! Jaq on twitter during and after the reunion would have pretty much finished that friendship for me — that was unreal!!! There is absolutely no comparison between that vicious attacking and a few dumb digs in T’s cookbook. And, all the time while Jaq is bashing how horrible T. is she gives no facts or reasons…just “can’t say why but that comes later” — I HATE when people do that. Think that is “planting seeds”, Jaq ……big time.
“There is absolutely no comparison between that vicious attacking and a few dumb digs in T’s cookbook.” — YES!!! THANK YOU!!!
I was just saying the same thing! Every single show they say mean and harmful things about Joe and Teresa..she makes a couple digs in her book and now the world ends??? Maybe the conversation with Jaq and Tre wouldn’t be so explosive if Jaq offered up some apologies too.
Exactly, what about apologizing to Teresa about accusing her for setting Melissa up at the fashion show? It is now known that Teresa was not behind it at all and I haven’t heard one apology from any of those witches. Especially Melissa who was first to accuse Teressa.
BLAH BLAH BLAH. Here we go again with Teresa being in the wrong and the rest of then being PERFECT. Why isn’t Dina talking to Jacko or Caroline? I don’t believe for a second it has anything to do with Teresa. Bottom line is they are Jealous of Teresa’s Success. I have great respect for how Teresa has picked up the pieces of the HUGE MESS that has become of her life and is working her butt off and taking advantage of the platform the show has brought her. None of the other ladies have the success she has nor will they ever. I watch CA and I believe even Mr. Trump has respect for Teresa and a soft spot in his heart for her. I’m so sick and tired of these women bashing Teresa. They are to dumb to see that they are making her a bigger star (everyone loves to cheer the underdog) TEAM TERESA ALL DAY EVERYDAY! I would rather be her kind of Italian than Caroline’s kind of Italian.
Mr Trump does have a soft spot for her. When she went to Mexico on vacation, she was with the Trumps.
Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it Jac……………
Seriously? Such BS. Those of us who follow along saw the last Twitter tantrum she had over her most recent attempt to apologize to Teresa. With friends like Jacqueline, who needs enemies? I didn’t know that she and Teresa were best friends. Maybe Jacqueline added, “Didn’t make me Audrianna’s godmother” to her petty list of imagined “insults”.
I had a feeling that it would be ugly and unevenly handled when the show’s producers were tweeting back and forth with the Manzos during filming of this season. When they protected their tweets, I knew that this whole season would be shady. I wonder if by mid-season, anyone even cares enough tune in.
I’m sick to death of the Lauritas/Manzos saying that Ashley’s doing so well after they show the poor slug effing up, time and again on the show. After they air proof that the girl’s a hot mess, Caroline or Jacqueline are quick to say how well she’s doing NOW. Yeah, right. The Lauritas aren’t very bright, Jacqueline’s slower than they are…and the proof of just how ignorant they are is that they think we’ll buy anything they say — despite the fact that we can see for ourselves what’s up. Congratulations! Goof for you, Jacqueline! You don’t need to torture a manicure by writing a novel every week — we already know you have a very tenuous grasp on reality.
Oh….and if you want to play “surrogate mom” and mentor your husband’s nieces on enlightenment and “moving forward”, take a baby step over to Candice and tell her that it was petty (last night) to tell Lauren that the the next book she should read on a plane is “Jealous Italian”. Tsk. Tsk. Have you cavones ever heard of the High Road?
A lot of these people a doing themselves a HUGE disservice by using Twitter–they should really close down their own accounts so we would know less about them and like them more.
A lot more people would like Jac if they hadn’t read her catty/crazy tweets.
And a lot more people would believe Jac and Caroline when they say Ashley/Ashlee has grown up. But if you follow her on Twitter, you know that’s not true. Soooooo not true.
I agree. I just don’t understand how these people think that putting their pettiness and cattiness on Twitter helps them sell their other businesses? The show is one thing; they’re getting paid to bring the “drama” — whatever that means, but who wants to buy crap from or do business with someone who behaves as if they’re in middle school? Twitter should be their undoing because it shows them for what they are.
Wtf is wrong with her face?! Too much wine?
She is, sadly, really starting to look like Joan Rivers. Yikes
Jac,
Lay off the botox and fillers. You look like MeHo when she had her fat suit on.
Caroline is the one in charge and leading the hate train as usual. If it wasnt for Caroline, I’m sure Jac and T would have worked it out. It is obvious that Jac really does want to. Caroline’s jealousy for Teresa (yes it is jealousy Caroline) is what is behind all of this. She is miserable. No matter what she tries to say, she is miserable. Melissa & Joe and Kathy & Richie had bad intentions from the begining, Caroline in all her wisdom (joke) knows that. Caroline is once again leading the hate train and using Melissa the golddigger and weak follower Kathy. BTW, Caroline your pack of inbreds are complete losers.
I do not understand what direction Jac is going in these days, does anyone else? Clearly she cannot take her own advice that gave to Teresa and maybe thats why Teresa didn’t listen to her. I ma so tired of the group of 4 being on Melissa’s jock! They seemed to be wayyyy too into Mel and Joe Gorga then they are with each other or even Teresa who they knew longer. She keeps saying certain things over and over and over again. Maybe it helps her to believe her own words. I think RHONJ may be seeing the last of its days. Time for a breakup Bravo. No enjoyment, no real friendships or relationships at this point. I cannot stand to see everyone making nicey nice with the people who put icing on the cake of ruining this show.
Jac, the reason why you and Tre have such a rocky road ahead is because you Twitter every last detail. Keep the details of your arguments private!
As people said before Jac needs twitter rehab.
Drunqueline….
Yep, Jacqueline definately needs to lay off twitter in addition she needs to lay off ‘allowing’ her daughter to be exploited in this manner. Obviously, once she watches the show she’s aware of what she did or otherwise she wouldn’t be defending her actions & commenting on her daughter in a positive way…. I’ve said it before, she signed on the dotted line for her minor daughter to appear on this show knowing it was a reality show, edited for drama/ratings & in turn Bravo edited Ashlee in the most negative way possible…. Wonder how many times Ashlee has said…’Thanks Mom, happy that I could help make your storyline for the show the past couple seasons…. ‘ I just can’t with this woman!
Roxy,
If you think Jacqueline’s continued mixed-messages regarding Ashley confuses you, imagine how it’s been for Ashley.
Remember when Ashley busted Jacqueline for thinking the “unbe-weave-able night” Facebook post by Ashley was the height of humor yet Jax tried to play the responsible parent, chiding her about it in front of the camera.
Jacqueline is like Eleanor Rigby except she can’t keep track of how many faces she keeps in that jar by the door – or who they’re for.
Hey Helen!! Did you manage to make a twitter account?
lol MeHo I was wondering the same thing-how about it Helen?
Please do Helen, I would follow you. Love your insights! We need it on twitter for all to see. It’s easy and you can give it us right away and instead of us having to wait to read your insights here.
I have actually come to believe it is more like Melissa is in charge – like a good wifey who allows her husband to think he is “in charge” when he clearly is led around by the nose (or by another appendage he holds even dearer) by the adoring little wife — M. allows Caroline to be Big Momma of this toxic group since it is dangerous to do otherwise and cross her….while constantly setting Teresa up, knowing Teresa just can’t help herself and think things out before she expodes and responds. All of this ugliness between these 5 women started when Melissa and Midget came on board, and she has manipulated her way into the selected circle and squeezed Teresa out (with a great deal of help from Teresa). This woman is the NJ Johnny Appleseed of seed planters! I am sure she and the evil sisters are really proud of her destruction of a family, so now she is trying to set herself up as forgiving and loving and sainthood of New Jersey. It is working with a lot of viewers on other blogs – T. is taking a beating. Can’t wait to see how it all works out with Posche when facts are out there and not just their personal opinions as to what happened……and after the lawsuit stemming from Punta Cana is settled.
I have been saying all along that MeHo is a MASTER MANIPULATOR. I am happy to hear that you see it as well.
It’s hard to pick a starting point for this one!
For someone who has a lot of thoughts on the anatomy of an apology, Jac can’t recognize when she owes one (note to Jac: “we were both wrong” does not qualify). I’ve never been called “scum” by someone I thought was a friend.
I just wish she would be honest with herself and admit that she really doesn’t want a friendship with T – It’s clear to anyone that she does not like T all that much. It’s not a crime to end a friendship! I would respect her more if she would just write “T is a selfish, nasty, stupid woman and a bad mother, friend and sister.” This sums up everything she has written and tweeted in the past months. But because she doesn’t have the balls to say it directly, we have to suffer her 1,393,030 word blogs – all of which boil down to the 14-word sentence I wrote above.
I made an eye-roll that would have made Kathy proud when I read this sentence:
“Gia has become a little mommy. She’s growing up so fast. She helps clean the house and tend to the kids. It’s cute to see her in action.”
TRANSLATION: T is foisting her motherly duties onto her 10-year old daughter.
I did not watch the show (I’m abstaining) so I will retract my translation if there was a scene with Gia scrubbing floors and changing diapers – but I’ll bet a few bucks that it was nothing like that.
Even if Teresa decides to rekindle he friendship with Jac – I sure hope she is smart enough to keep her guard up around her for a very long time.
I didn’t watch, either. Last week, Jacqueline took a shot at Milania in her blog, and this week was Gia’s turn. I’ll say it again; if she has problems with Teresa, take it up with Teresa — leave those kids alone! It speaks volumes for Jacqueline — as a woman and a mother — to be so passive aggressive to mention such young kids at all.
Someone told me that Caroline made a comment to CJ as to why he was still living in his house? Is that true? She asks a little boy why he’s still there on the same day his big sister is kicked out of the house? WTF? Please tell me that this information is wrong. I can’t believe Caroline couldn’t have chosen something else to ask that poor kid.
Call me crazy….I don’t think it was to CJ, I think it was to the baby, obnoxiously, as usual, and my opinion is that she wasn’t thrilled that either a) ashley was there after leaving last year or b) being a tiger mom, wasn’t thrilled about them throwing ashley out.
I got that passive agressive tone when I read that Gia passage too. Jac ain’t foolin nobody.
And for someone who raised a child like Ashley, she has no room to bring up other ppls parenting or children.
It is never a bad thing to have your children help out around the house. Juicy Joe didn’t ask Gia to help, she just did and he thanked her for it. I really doubt she did it because she thought Juicy was too busy getting drunk to do it himself! She wanted to help.
My kids do the same thing, they have to help out when I need them to and they usually do it without me asking them now. That’s what wrong with so many kids today. Parents do everything for them and the kids don’t take pride in anything. What Gia did was mature and responsible and probably gives her a great sense of pride. I was expected to help out in my house and I expect the same from my children. Good for Gia!
Jacqueline wouldn’t know what a mature, responsible, helpful kid was if it hit her on the head. She was attacking Teresa through Gia. Last week, it was Milania. For that, alone, Jacqueline is GARBAGE.
I watched parts of the last episode and I’m sorry to say that Caroline really did ask CJ why he was still living there — on the very day his big sister was kicked out and his parents jad that party to celebrate her removal. They’re all garbage! Who says that to a little boy whose parents just tossed out his sister? I’m going to demand an apology from ALL of them for what little I’ve seen of season 4.
EXACTLY!
Sorry, I posted the last two comments backwards. I meant to post the, “Exactly” comment first and then the other one.
I was agreeing with Obvious
Calzoned
You are so right about Jac! She tries to distract people from noticing what she did wrong with Ashlee by pointing a finger and bashing the way T and Joe are raising their girls. That is exactly why Ashlee is the way she is, she never had to be responsible for anything. Maybe if Jac raised Ashlee like T is raising her girls, she wouldn’t have so many issues. T’s girls are expected to and enjoy helping/cooking etc. with/for their parents and they will be better for it and learn from it. That’s what families do!
That was a passive , aggressive dig at T when Jac made the ‘Gia is a cute little mom’ comment, These women are so jealous it is sad and pathetic.
As for brother Joe, he has been nothing but awful as well as his wife, it is funny why T needs to be held to some gold standard but the rest of them give each other a pass for all of their vile they spew, as I said before this show is no longer fun…..
When you give kids what they want they turn in to soiled adults A-Lazy opps Ashley darn Ashlee is plan lazy. Poor is is paying rent in LA for her what lessons are learn…
LifeisGood – good comment: if Teresa is as bad as all that twittering suggests (altho we aren’t privy exactly as to why), why would you want to be friends with her?? Just own it, as you said, and say “Adios” – not all friendships last forever.
@ JanieG – May I ask you, why do you not answer people on their post instead of doing it farther down the page. I have noticed this on a couple of different threads here. It is hard to see your point unless we go back up and try to figure out which post you are addressing.
WTH is wrong with Jac’s face? She looks all puffy. BTW…..Melissa is a golddigger.
What does everyone think of Jacqueline last night on WWHL? Kelly Osbourne certainly came across as not liking Teresa so just wondering if that is why Andy scheduled her to appear with Teresa. Thoughts?
FYI Jacqueline, Teresa’s comments in the cookbook were not malicious compared to the things that her “friends” and family were saying about her behind her back BEFORE the cookbook every came out.
Once again, they were jokes, albeit lame ones. Teresa said sorry if anyone’s feelings got hurt, but what does she need to own? Is it really her fault that no one has a sense of humor when they’re the butt of the joke, but it’s funny and a joke when Teresa is the butt of the joke? Please.
And about the SIL comment, if Melissa wasn’t guilty of copying Teresa, then why would she automatically assume it’s about her? Teresa made a vague comment and as self-centered as Melissa is, she assumed it was about her. Teresa could have been talking about her other sister-in-laws, but if Melissa thinks it’s about her, then the “shoe fits” which was the point Teresa was making. The funny thing is how everyone assumed it was about Melissa and if everyone (including Melissa) thinks it’s a dig towards her, then clearly, Melissa does copy Teresa enough where people notice it and Melissa realizes it too.
Memo to Jac: Teresa has taken the high road and it is you who rolls in the gutter. You have one hell of a nerve to tell Teresa you are proud of her for apologizing to you. You have been a lousy friend by betraying confidences on social media. Also, while you are at home drinking, Teresa is out working to get her family back on track financially.
OMG – how many of you read all of that???
Not me, blah, blah, blah is all I thought after reading the first two paragraphs.
Is she for real, she never takes any responsibility for anything .
Have another drink jac and try to tell us how to feel, and how you are just a sweet innocent person.
This is getting very old and you should be ashamed of yourself.
We all know that strippers and escorts stick together, so enjoy your friendship with MeHo. It really is to bad that you can not see through her. She has you all fooled, she is a Master Manipulator and you and DonCaro fell for her BS, hook, line and sinker.
They say that a sucker is born every day, SUCKER………………………………….
LOL @ “I hated watching her self-destruct”. This crazy drunk tweeting bi-polar alcoholic needs to worry about her own public breakdown. These bitches are delusional.
Yeah ’cause it was easy for all of us watching Jac self-destruct! ( Lol)
I don’t think Caroline controls Jack, but it is evident that Jack wants to be friends with Teresa again and this is he way of accepting she was wrong! Melissa is obnoxious and probably is a good digger….is it just me or does she always appear beyond annoyed when Joe touches her and wants to let out his poison. I don’t get Caroline AT ALL, however; I feel that her issue with Teresa has to do with dina and not the cookbook or anyone else.
Of course Jac is in a better place…. her problem child (that she created) is out of the house and she can concentrate harder on how to TRY to ruin Teresa and her family. Not going to work Jac. Take your meds ! I just watched last nights episode again and I am fired up LOL
LOL! I feel your pain! Thats why I stopped watching, but even the recaps make me angry. The last show I watched was the reunion and I found myself talking to the damned television!! Time to pull back and breathe….
Jac takes no responsibility for her actions and is still trying to interfere in Teresa’s family disputes, telling her how she should feel and act. And she is still blaming Teresa for everything and thinks she and the others are right. Here are some excerpts from this week’s blog that prove that:
I was happy to hear that she was happy, doing well, and appeared to have finally seen the light.
I don’t think that she will ever understand other people’s emotions or what a true apology is all about.
I was glad when Teresa took my advice to apologize to her family and friends about her cookbook, although she never understood that she did anything wrong or admitted to how it could have hurt anybody. She just said the words with no accountability. Clearly she meant some malice in her book.
Nobody was really talking about Teresa in a negative way before she got there.
Once again, I’m always looking at both sides. I see everyone hurting, not just Teresa. If I could have ended their pain, I would have tried anything at that point to help them find resolve.
I am very fair. I will say that I have always admired Teresa’s ability to keep her head up with a smile on her face and persevere even during the roughest times in her life. Everything is always “fine” with her. Sometimes I wished that she would lean on her friends a little more than she did. That is what creates a special bond between friends. You allow each other to be there along with you, to help you through the difficult times.
the last one is the funniest thing to me. Jac is mad that Teresa didn’t lean on her as a friend for support. It looks to me like it’s a good thing she didn’t, since Jac has spilled every secret or bad thing Tre confided in Jac about her sister in law!! THANK GOD she didn’t tell her more! I mean..what absolute gall to say that you’re pissed that someone didn’t spill their guts to you, when we KNOW she did because you’ve used that against Teresa! You can’t now say you’re mad that she didn’t tell you MORE you idiot!! Good luck having any friends now Jacqueline. You’ve proven 3 times now (Danielle, Kim G, and Teresa) that you don’t know the meaning of the word friend
Excellent point!
Jac – T’s decision not to confide in you has been completely vindicated!!! You put her on blast for everything she told you in the course of your friendship. Where is your apology??
DITTO!
In my opinion, I don’t care who started the family feud or what it’s about. I can never like someone who deliberately and intentionally hurt their family for fame and fortune. It’s not like Teresa painted her brother and Melissa in a bad light to where they had to come onto the show to tell their side of the story. No one knew about their family problems until the Gorgas got on the show to publicly humiliate, bash, and embarrass Teresa. So the fact that ANYONE would support people like the Gorgas, who will throw their family under the bus and hang them out to dry for money, is just absolutely mind-boggling to me.
Agreed.
right on
Exactly! If Teresa spent the first two seasons bad mouthing Melissa and Joey I would see why they would want on the show to defend themselves. But this didn’t happen, Teresa didn’t say anything about them, THEY came on the show to bad mouth Teresa, NOW Teresa has to defend herself.
I can’t stand Jacqueline and have no idea why these people don’t mind their own business when it comes to Melissa and Teresa. Teresa is not REQUIRED to like Melissa and I have no idea why she would have anything to do with her in the first place? And if Jacqueline doesn’t like it, then that’s too damn bad. It’s not her family and not her business. If it were me, I wouldnt be in the same room with Melissa or that idiot Caroline. Why waste time on people like this? Let them come crawling back. You know they eventually will anyway.
if teresa choose to befriend jac or any of the others again she should do like the “old people” say a “feed them out of a long handled spoon”, meaning never let them in her personal space again, just treat them as aquaintances.
JanShe, you are gonna love this: I don’t sit here and wait for responses to my comments; I come and go since this isn’t really a personal conversation with someone. Also, I have noticed that some of the times shown on the posts are sometimes a little mixed up: one of mine was before others with later times? I don’t usually comment on a previous comment, but if I do I try to make it clear what I am responding to. Personally, I didn’t realize this creates a problem, but if it does, just skip my posts – I promise I won’t take it personally.
JanShe, ahhh, the light bulb just went on! I think you were inferring I shoul hit REPLY when I want to respond to a comment. Got it!! I rarely do that, but see the point.
lol Janie G it just makes it easier for all of us if you use the ‘reply’ button because a lot of us come back during the day to see if anyone has added a comment to a post we’ve already read. Believe me, we want to read everything you say and we also want to make sure we know which comment you’re replying to
Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for being polite about it — personally, I don’t look for comments on my comments, but since others do, I will certainly comply.
Albie volunteered to take her…”He’s a good kid.”
Isn’t he a 27-year-old man?
Jacqueline may not have meant it that way or still calls him a “kid” or “boy” to please Caroline, but enough.
No wonder these guys can’t grow up.
Honestly I cant handle Jac & all her BS anymore!!! I know you’re reading this Jac so listen up…..you are the one who started a twitter war you poker faced mole!!! You are the one who always publicly tells everyone what happens with yours and Teresa’s conversations. It’s obvious to me you are not geniune or sincere in wanting to make up with Teresa. You’re trying to set yourself up as being the victim. YOU’RE NOT!! You are only trying to appear to be mending fences with Teresa because you realise your ass is gonna to get fired by Bravo for Season 5 unless you make nice with Teresa the star of NJ.
PS Fark you, you backstabbing bitch. Thank goodness I dont have friends like you in real life.
Just like Jaqueline puts on blinders to Ashley’s awful behavior, she also never faults Richie, Kathy, Joe G. or Melissa’s neverending insults and badmouthing about Tre. How are they just perfect angels in Jac’s mind. Don’t they owe Tre an apology along with the whole Manzo clan. She has one set of rules for her and Tre’s family, but a completely opposite set of rules for Tre. Worse, Jac tooks side against Tre with her own family!! I give Teresa a lot of credit because I would never trust Jac as a friend ever: she divulged private talks, insults friends on Twitter, criticizes Tre’s kids ( and by the way, Tre went out of her way last year to compliment both Ashley and Jac during all their ongoing difficulties, called Ashley always a sweetheart to her when she could have easily let loose on her blog to criticize them both, oh like Carolyn did), and is a judgemental drama queen who is disloyal. What is the upside of Tre being friends with her again?
Jac is full of crap !! She alway’s tries to make herself look like the martyr. I haven’t watched this season and don’t plan to. If Teresa is smart she will stay away from these women and continue to move on with her life !!
I think it says so much when in the WWHL polls Teresa wins or the vote is SO close you know that WWHL rigged it! Team Caroline my butt! Have you seen her blog comments on Bravo???? The tides are turning and not how Bravo thought they would. Teresa hasn’t done anything to those people except write a book and joke!!!!
What Jac & Caroline are missing is, they think by giving “advice” their so called “advice” means, this is what you MUST do, which is really an order. Teresa listens and does what she thinks is best for her situation. I noticed when Jac is talking about her problems, Teresa listens and does not give advice but tries to give a differant perspective/understanding without the snark.
If Carolline does not want drama, then why say she has removed Tre from her life. Just be civil but distant. She is behaving silly on this.
So Jacquelyn is upset that Teresa doesn’t understand how someone felt? That’s a pretty lame excuse to not like someone. To me it says more when a person apologizes for something they said or did when they don’t see the harm in what they said or did.
I love the dig about Gia being the little mommy. I wouldn’t always see this as a dig but in this context I do. There was no story, no explanation, just a random sentence that had nothing to do with anything, looks like a seed to me. Hey Teresa, you should force Jacquelyn to apologize for this comment, it is in WRITING after all.
Does anyone know what happened to Ashley’s dad in Texas after he and his wife were arrested for burning their house down? I never heard what happened after the arrest.
charges were dismissed.
The Facts – thanks!!
Is she stealing Ashlee’s look?????
Please stop filming caroline’s hopeless kids and jack’s pathetic daughter. It’s such a waste of film. I will admit I do love Teresa’s girls. As spoiled as they are it was nice to Gia taking care of her sister. that Milania is something else. I’m proud of Chris for putting his foot down. But seeing ashely look like lindsey lohan wanna be was sad… She can cry out all she wants… We’re over her. Smarten up sweetie
Boy wouldn’t be nice for our beloved Danielle Staub to come back into the mix. Just wondering how all this would play out because eventually whoever is on top will get taken down. It would be someting to have danielle and melissa go at it and have kathy’s eyes pop out of her head in shock.. hahaa
