Let Me Make Something Clear….
Hello everyone! Haven’t blogged all day because I was so busy and had no access to a computer until now. Anyways most of you know what this is probably about and for those of you who don’t..I’ll explain.
Yesterday I posted a story questioning Mob Wives star Karen Gravano parenting. Reason being is Karen’s cousin Ramona did an interview where she spoke about Drita‘s parenting skills and mentioned how she needs to learn to keep it under control for the sake of her kids. She also added how Drita uses her children for sympathy on the show..
Read The Interview Where Ramona Talks About Dritas Parenting Skills Here
Because Ramona did an interview question her costars parenting. I thought I would too and ask her why she hasn’t questioned her “cousin” Karen’s parenting skills.
Today Karen tweeted about the story and basically told her followers that I’m talking about her child and that her child has been crying all day. First off it’s a Thursday and she tweeted all this around 2. Her daughter lives in Arizona and it’s earlier so i’m pretty sure her daughter is in school. Thats besides the point. The interview had nothing to do with her daughter specifically. I was just questioning Karen’s parenting like Ramona was questioning Drita‘s. I don’t think children should ever be involved but lets face it. Sometimes they are. How many stories have we heard about Bobby Brown’s daughter having problems when she was 14? It happens. People blog these stories. In no way was I talking about her child and I want to make that clear!
If ANYONE was offended by that post AT ALL, I want to apologize to you for writing it. If I knew you’d be offended, I would have took that into consideration and not have wrote it.
Im disappointed that Karen purposely tweeted I was talking about her child so I can get attacked by her followers but then again it comes with the territory when blogging. Things like this will happen and I have to just deal with it.
Karen tweeted, “lying on the kid to make a point and have her crying and people sending her hateful mAssages wtf.” I think she meant messages…anyways. Karen’s daughter has been ON THE SHOW and everyone knew her name was Karina so I didn’t expose her like Karen claims and if Karina did get hateful Facebook messages. I apologize. No one should be messaging a 12 year old girl. That’s why I don’t know why she even has a Facebook. Not everyone is going to like Karen and people are going to say things to Karina and not because of me, because they want to so I don’t think I should be blamed for that.
Karen also tweeted me saying, “write about me bitch not my kid.” Again I was questioning her parenting as a mother. Never once did I insult her daughter!
I got plenty of messages from my [amazing] followers letting me know that some blogger and a few haters were tweeting that I talk about kids? I get some people will not enjoy my blog, doesn’t mean they have to make up lies and say that I talk about children! Just don’t read my blog or follow me on twitter! See how easy that is? Oh wait they don’t follow me! Hmm..
Again if I offended anyone with that post, I’m sincerely sorry and was only pointing out someones parenting and can understand why some people could be upset. In the end of the day I can’t please everyone!
OH and another thing that was brought to my attention. Apparently my blog is far from the truth and i’m a liar. First off AllAboutTRH stands for All About The Real Housewives and I DO think it’s important I get the truth but that’s not what my site stands for. Second off these people are spreading rumors saying my blog lies and this is why..
I had an exclusive interview with the man who worked at lookers the same time RHONJ star Melissa Gorga did. The mans name is Angelo and we will be seeing on the upcoming season of RHONJ where he tells Teresa that her sister in law was a stripper. In this interview. Angelo confirmed she was a stripper and I immediately called Lookers to see what they had to say. They responded, ”no comment”
Check out the interview with Angelo. Click here
Months later Melissa Gorga‘s lawyer sent me pay stubs that I DID post on my blog
So I had Angelo claiming she was a stripper and pay stubs proving she was a bartender. I posted both sides. I didn’t have to post those pay stubs but I did. If that makes me a liar then so be it!
Again this is MY blog if you don’t like it there are many more to go on! I blog my opinion and if you don’t agree with me, even better! The comments get interesting and I love reading all the different opinions.
This will be the last time I talk about this 
Hope you all have a wonderful night. -AllAboutTRH

KEEP TELLING IT HOW IT IS GIRL!!!!!
Are you serious allabout? I follow you on twitter and nothing you did was wrong. You shouldn’t let this stuff get to you. You have 6000 followers on twitter. Ur website keeps getting bigger and more people are giving you attention you should be happy!
Obviously other bloggers are talking crap and making it like you said something wrong because they are jealous! You didn’t even talk about the kid! Ur followers know that everyones jealous of your blog. Youve had it for like what 2 months and it keeps getting bigger?
Websites have been picking up your stories right or left. You dont need to explain yourself. If people got offended they are crazy.
I see the people that attack you. There the same 4 people who tweet every minute of every day with no photo as there avatar. Like you said it comes with the territory. Ur getting huge and they are talking to the same 4 people trying to bring you down
Dont let that happen. I enjoy your blog and you actually thousands of other people who do too. So congratulations! We know the truth and id ignore the jealous trolls.
right and left is what I meant lol
Well said Mila! I agree 100%. Go Roxanne!
Ditto, ignore the haters Rox. They are jealous,jealous,jealous.
It happens when you get popular.
Keep up the good work.
CHEERS
Again great blog… I think people messaging Karens daughter hateful messages is absolutely horrible and I have NO doubt they are.. However you are NOT to blame for the actions of grown adults or children for that matter attacking some one.. Its her mother responsibility to protect her child, NOT YOURS! You never said anything about her child.. You talked about KAREN’s parenting decisions.. She put her daughter and herself on TV… Everyone already knew her name and her fathers name… Not to hard to figure her last name… You can google her! That’s no ones fault but her mothers.. She, as ALL the woman chose to put her\their life and their children on TV.. Its not a must! I’ve never seen Adrienne Maloofs children nor do we know anything about them.. They wanted them to have as much privacy as possible! You made the choice Karen… Live with!
And GEEZ at my typo’s lol sorry!
great point Mandy!
Don’t even bother apologizing or explain why you posted that story about Karen’s parenting skills. It’s clear as day to anyone who has a higher IQ than 50 that you’ve never talked about her kid but about Karen as a parent. People tend to confuse the two. When you talk about their parenting skills they automatically assume that you’re attacking their kids.
Secondly, talking about people’s kids aren’t cool, but guess what? When you put yourself on national TV for the world to judge, you bet your ass that your kids are going to be a topic of discussion every once in awhile. If Karen didn’t want her kid brought up and ‘exposed’ then she shouldn’t have signed on to do a reality show. Period. Karen thinks it’s cool for Ramona to talk about Drita’s kid, but when the table is turned and her parenting skills are questioned, she’s going to call foul play? Karen can dish it but can’t take it. Obviously.
Bottom line is that you did nothing wrong. You posted an interview Ramona did and added your two cents in it just like any other bloggers (like that Lynn chick, Reality Tea, Stoopid Housewives, etc…). If Karen can’t handle the heat then she and Ramona needs to STFU and get off TV.
i have no problems at all with it. i only read it because of the buzz about it but i don’t even watch these fools, lol
Anyone who has read your blog knows that you would never say anything bad about a child. You’re more than fair in your blogs.
I still thinking melissa was a stripper and the PS are fake. And I love your site.
Freedom of speech. I’m sure karen has heard of it. She runs her mouth all the time. Like you said this is YOUR blog. No apology needed. Any person with some sense can understand what your post was about. Karen loves to point the finger try to disguise her bad behavior. She should address on her tweets about how she is going to resolve the problem with the words her daughter chose on a public forum. Regardless of what other people say, she should just strive to be a good parent.
I read both blogs regarding Ramona’s comments and I certainly didn’t feel the writer was attacking a child. The writer was simply asking why Ramona was questioning Drita’s parenting skills (Drita Is A Fantastic Mom) yet hypocritical about Karen’s parenting skills. I do feel the few bloggers who didn’t get this were probably friends of Karen’s or Ramona. Truth is, Ramona is the only one, The Only One, shooting off at the mouth. Ramona, mind your own f-ing business and worry about your own family. As for Drita, damned good mother. Karen, get off the show and go back to Arizona and pretend that you want to be with your daughter.
OMG. Where does one even begin with this?
First of all, Ramona had no business bringing up children in the first place. Period.
Then again, I can understand why she’d want to. She has four kids of her own and yet she’s running around on TV starting all this drama between others and starting nasty rumors about OTHER people’s children. ^&*$%^$?!??!
It’s just simple-minded thinking going on here. After all, what do you do when you’re insecure about your own shit? You project your faults on other people.
As a mother I’m surprised she would stoop to such a level to say that Drita was coaching her children in order to get sympathy from viewers.
I’m assuming she’s never sat down and had a conversation with her kids? Kids ask random questions all the time (ahem, like, “What’s a rat?”) and typically — when they’re around — the parent is the one being asked.
I completely agreed with your argument that Ramona needed to go ahead and question her “cousin’s” parenting skills. Karen LEFT HER FUCKING DAUGHTER IN ANOTHER STATE in order to “write a book” and star in a reality show.
If I recall correctly, in one of the first episodes she stated she left her daughter in AZ because she was concerned over whether or not it was safe to go back.
Excuse me, but if you’re questioning the safety, why are you going there?? What if something DID happen to Karen because of her father being a rat or whatever other BS was going on? Her daughter would have to deal with the traumatic experience of her mother being hurt or worse. A parent shouldn’t be willingly taking those risks.
Not to mention being a tween is difficult as all hell as is, why is she doing it with her mom all the way across the country?
Oh, and I was baffled by that whole Facebook Mob Wives chat thing, what the admin was saying and how Karina was liking comments, etc.
As stated in the comments, Facebook has an age requirement. It’s to be at least 13 years of age or older. How old is Karina again? 12.
From what I’m gathering, Karen is well-aware that her daughter does not meet the age requirement and yet she’s upset at the angry viewers who are lashing out at her daughter?
Don’t get me wrong, I am not condoning the fact that people are blasting this young girl. That should’ve never happened and needs to stop. However, you can’t let your daughter on a site she isn’t suppose to be on, agree with people who are talking trash about someone else but then turn around and get mad when you suddenly find yourself being trashed. That’s just retarded. Hate breeds hate, my dear. It’s a fact of life.
As for your blog, I don’t feel it’s one-sided. However, you need to shift the text to the left or justify it.. something. This centered shit is weirding me out.
xoxo
Nobody on this blog made negative comments about Karen’s daughter. If anything, we feel very sad for her. She’s 12 years old and she’s on an adult chat room, Mob Wives, because she is hoping that maybe her mother will glimpse her way and come home to her. How Sad We All Feel For The Girl. How sick of Karen to twist this issue around on strangers when the bottom line is she is a parent neglecting her own daughter. Personally, it’s a shame child services doesn’t get involved.
Fuggedaboutit! She’s just pissed because she knows she shouldn’t have left her daughter. You said/did nothing wrong and I saw Karina’s “Likes” on the comments too.
Karen, if you do read this, take this advice, instead of chasing your ”Gangsta Dreams,” why don’t you grow up and go home to your daughter. She’s waiting for you mom.
A. Karen didn’t have to be on the show at all. She is not the first person to go on a reality show and then have people blog about them. B. If she did want to go on the show knowing the potential outcomes, she did not have to bring her daughter on the show, who did not know about the possible outcome as she is 12 (or however old). That said the blog did not comment at all about a child, only about the behavior of the child’s mother.
I also think the Mob Wives chat site should remove the twelve year old from the site as it would be the appropriate decision. I mean, this child is on there defending her mother and that’s okay, it’s normal but it’s not normal for Mob Wives to allow a child to see comments regarding her mother. Where are their morals? Mob Wives should also fire Karen because they are the reason she has abondoned her daughter. Mob Wives is completely unprofessional regarding the matter of child welfare. They are putting this show ahead of the welfare of a child.
I read Karen’s tweets to you and all I can say is she is worse than I thought. Ramona is one big hypo….crite! She doesn’t go around glorifying fighting? That is all I see her do on this show so far! You keep bloggin’ like you do. Those two cousins are just trying to stay relevant.
You didn’t do anything wrong. Karen is so angry that you blog about Mobwives. She attacked me on Twitter, for a positive comment about your Drita interview. She thinks everyone should follow her “friend’s” blog.
if people are making nasty comments to Karen’s daughter on fb or in person she has no one to blame but herself. She put her life out there to be examined. If she wants to be famous for being the child of a convicted mobster, that’s fine-but she needs to remember one thing: the mob might respect your children, but out here in the real world, everything’s fair game for some people. Letting your child have access to a PUBLIC fb page or allowing her to have fb at all under her real name is IRRESPONSIBLE. If Karen doesn’t want her daughter to be harassed by strangers, she shouldn’t give strangers easy access to her daughter! I wish the world was nice enough to be able to leave a 12 year old to her own devices, but it isn’t. So parent your child and stop blaming other people for your failures.
I’m new to your site and I have to say I love it! I’ve read all the articles and I never once thought you were talking about Karen’s kid. Per usual Karen has over reacted once again. If she’s so worried about her child she should get her off of Facebook. If she doesn’t want to do that she can always lock her page down to strangers.
Just keep staying true to yourself and you’ll have no problems.
Welcome and thank you
Whatever! Keep doing what you do! You have a lot of followers that like you and enjoy your blog! There are some crazy people on the Internet, period!
First I agree there was nothing wrong with stating your opinion. Welcome to America folks. Thank God for freedom of speech. Karen posted today that her daughter started getting nasty messages after you posted her daughter’s full name. Go to Twitter…read Karens posts• Her daughter posts to her all the time. And guess what. Name on Twitter is her FULL and real name. The best part about all of this Roxanne is that she brought attention to your name on Twitter. Like other’s have said….love you ot hate you….you are YOU and I love that about you. Thing about blogs is that there are literally HUnDREDs out there. I read multiple blogs. I enjoy the entertainment. What has made me a fan…and I have followed you from the beginning is that you stay true to yourself. I love that about you and respect you for that. America the Beautiful. Land of the Free and Home of the brave. Thank you for entertaining us and keeping us informed. Much respect. And YES…..I always use my real name when I comment or tweet because I own what I say and don’t feel ashamed of that, or like I have to apologize for my OPINIONS. But I like how you considered everyones feeling and kept it classy
Thank you
xo
AllAboutTRH.You are amazing..Girl you belong in Hollywood.You are a true writer & excellent Blogger.
I witnessed all of this as it was going down and was in shock. First let me say I like Karen. Actually, I like all the Mob Wives. Do I like some better than others? Of course. None of them have ever done anything to me personally. So why hate them? Have they affected my life, talked trash about me or my family? No! Those are a few of the reasons you normally hate someone. Why people feel the urge to jump into a disagreement to try and defend #Team whoever is beyond me. Some peeps act as if these ladies have done something to them personally. You do not know these ladies. You only know what the editors of a show want to portray them as to you. It not only goes for the Mob Wives. Some HW fans are even worse. Say something against their #Team and you get a new one ripped. Once again, what have these ladies ever done to you? This started out today involving only 2 people and by the end, each side had so many defending their #Team it only made it worse than it should have been. Karen was wrong! She said she read it 3 times, but she was still wrong. She carried things to far. But a lot of us are mothers. You have to admit when or if our child were ever put into a situation like this, we might tend to lose our perspective and sense of reasoning. I get that. It still don’t make it right. I believe Karen owes Roxie an apology. Do I agree with Roxie’s decision to post something involving a child even though the info was already out there? No! This is about the adults on these shows. They signed up, their kids didnt. Personally, if I felt the child was not being supervised properly or was doing something wrong, I would sent a message, or email and tactfully inform the parent of the problem. Lets face it. We all did things as kids our parents knew nothing about. I saw Karen being attacked for her daughter having a facebook, for not having parental controls. Who knows where her daughter was when she was online. She could have been at a friends house. We cant watch them 24/7. They do go other places. The point is, are we to judge when we dont know all the facts! Would I bash either of these ladies because I disagree with what they said or did? HELL NO! Neither one of them hurt me. Look around people! All this hate, bashing and threatening remarks over a tv reality star that you have never met is crazy. This should have stayed between Roxie and Karen. I thank god my children or my family will never have to be embarrassed by my behavior on twitter. Can you say the same? Looking at the big picture there are so many more kind, caring and compassionate people than haters and bullies on twitter. Unfortunately it only takes a few to ruin something that is meant to be fun. We should be able to state or debate our different opinions, respectfully with a little snark, without fear of being bashed or attacked. I see or hear about this everyday as I’m sure many of you do too. If we all start to ban together against these bullies, block and report them, twitter will be what it was intended to be. Roxie, I love you and your site! I am a very loyal reader. This time though I think you made the wrong call. That being said, I respect your decision as always to post what you want on your site and I will continue to read and support you!
Thank you and I meant no harm but I get what you’re trying to say
p.s. good suggestion on the bullying 
we should do that!
Hey Roxie, I know you meant no harm sweetie. This will now give us all something to think about when a child is involved. Like I stated, personally I don’t believe a child’s name should be mentioned at all. There are some people who carry things way to far, like going and bashing this child. If their names are not brought up by anyone, we might could avoid these type of situations. I love your site and you. It’s just a difference of opinions and I respect the fact that we can discuss out differences in a healthy way. You respect me and my opinions and I definitely respect you and yours. I appreciate the fact the you have created a place where I can come and voice my opinions without having ever been attacked. That’s rare and it speaks volumes to who you are and the amazing individuals who post here. Keep your head up Roxie and continue to do what you do!
Thank you! I agree. This is what I was trying to tell Rox. Luv her blog, think she is sweet, BUT she simply made a bad call here when Ramona was the one popping off at the mouth. Karen and her child had absolutely nothing to do with Ramonas rant but Rox brought Karen and her child in the equation. It should of stayed with Ramona and Drita where Ramona was the one looking stupid. Karens daughter has no business on FB or adult pages but Rox put it out there to ppl who didn’t know beforehand and the poor child got threatened by tolls because of it. That is wrong! Again, Karen and her child had nothing to do with this particular rant of Ramonas so they should have been left out of it, especially since it put focus on a child when tey are suppose to be off limits. That’s all I’m saying. Rox was wrong here. Period. Ramona has BEEN wrong and stays wrong with her drama. I like both Drita and Karen and it seems like Drita is a great mother so Ramona should have kept her mouth shut. Her rant should have stayed between her and Drita and no one else. Ramona would have been the one with egg on her face, instead an innocent child is hurt and involved now and I don’t condone that, especially with me being a mother myself. My mama bear tendencies are coming out now. If children are off limits (which they should be) then practice what u preach!
Ur kidding right? Many people on the comments already saw she was in the group and the admin made sure of it. If this was Melissa everyone would be like omg! Yes why is she talking about Teresas parenting skills when her sis Lisa is horrible at parenting or some bs. If you actually believe Karina was crying. That’s stupid on your end. I follow both on twitter and Karen clearly wanted ppl to attack Roxanne. Why is she calling a 19 year old a bitch? I’m in the mob wives fb thing for fun and all those comments are instantly gone but I saw them with my eyes and had AllAbout check it out. Kids always are involved if something is up. AllAbout said something about Karen’s parenting not about her child and it’s sad that Karen went all crazy on twitter on purpose
No, I’m not kidding and ur stupid if u think I’m going to listen to u justify this bull. I said what I had to say about it. It was already known that Karina was on the site, but she obvi didn’t get messages until Rox put her on blast to ppl who didn’t belong to that group. Get ur facts straight!
I want to personally thank you for posting this blog, I only started reading it recently and enjoyed it up until I saw the blog you wrote questioning Karen’s parenting. Personally, I think gossip blogs should be about show recaps and celebrity gossip with clever little anecdotes from the blogger that are funny and amusing to the readers while still maintaining some level of subjectivity, and personally, I don;t think you did that particularly when you were writing that entry. All you really did was show you can sink down to Ramona;s Rizzo’s level and question someone’s parenting when at the end of the day you don’t know all the details of their situation and are in know place to question anyone about how they choose raise their child. I come here to read the sharp and witty things you have to say about an episode or hot gossip, not listen to you ranting about something that stupid-ass Ramona Rizzo said. Bottom line, as a new reader who genuinely enjoyed your blog until reading that entry, I would strongly suggest sticking to the show recaps and gossip and keep your opinions regarding people’s parenting, or their children out of your mouth. And yes, I know this is your blog and you can write what you want, but just like those ladies go on tv publicly and put themselves out there for scrutiny then technically, so do you when you have this blog; and if you really do care about your readers, then please try to exercise a little bit of consideration going forward. Thank you!
You NEVER mentioned her child, but WTF does a 12 year old need a fb for?? Seriously??
Roxanne, you did nothing wrong! You weren’t talking about her daughter, but you were simply asking Ramona. That’s Ramona’s damn fault! If people are mad, then so be it. You really can’t please everyone so don’t even try. Just keep doing what you’re doing, hunn! You are doing a great job at posting stories about the housewives. =)))
You have no reason to defend yourself here… it’s a blog, we ALL have different opinions. You are the head honcho who runs this blog ( LOVE you for that btw ), and if you have something to say, SAY IT! I don’t agree with you about the post earlier, but I completely get where your coming from. I still stand by my comment “two wrongs don’t make a right”. Roxanne, that is what makes the world go ’round— DIFFERENCE of opinions. Keep doing YOU! Your website is flourishing right before ALL of our eyes! Keep up the juice!
-Josh
Nothing was wrong with the blog and what did you expect from karen? Of course she was going to send herfans after you just like she did with ramona and drita…….guttless! Her child is not even legally permitted to hold and account on facebook, end of story! Karen has been having haters on her page for months and is well aware of the fan war that is going on so why on earth would she allow her child to join an adult mobchat group! Dont ever apolazise for your blog……you did nothing wrong!
“The Archer” I couldn’t have said it better myself! I kept thinking “EXACTLY!!!!” with every paragraph I read, except the centered text thing… That doesn’t bother me!!
Lmao off Doll I love you but your going to give me gray hair! Stop it! Love you keep doing u even if your wrong…bahaha in all seriousness you know I totally Respect you and your hustle your my girl! Xoxo Lisa
You didn’t say anything bad about her kid you questioned her parenting, huge difference. If her kid is off limits keep her off the show, kind of like how Camille & Adrienne do on RHOBH. You honestly have the right to say whatever you want, its your blog. I get that you weren’t trying to offend your readers, if they don’t like it, go read something else. I don’t agree with every single thing you write, but I appreciate that you aren’t venemous and share your opinion. I come to your site daily because I enjoy your stories if it gets to a point where I don’t like them, I’ll simply go elsewhere. But to actually bash you on twitter and on your own site, gtfoh, people need to get a grip.
Please don’t let the few bullies get to you. You have so many more fans, me included. I wish you all the best and continued success with your blog!
You did NOTHING wrong , Karen’s kid doesn’t belong on facebook anyway. Now who is using their kid for sympathy , what’s mouthy Ramona got to say about that !!! Karen’s just pissed that ppl see what a horrible mother she is.
I personally think your entry went one step too far. If you meant to challenge Ramona’s accusation, you should have stated your opinion about Drita’s parenting and maybe give general examples. Or just say that kids are off limits. But you chose to go the other way and bring ANOTHER kid into this. I think the saying two wrongs do not make a right applies here. Really, Karen and her daughter should not have been brought into this. It doesn’t even make sense to bring them into the arguement. Ramona has nothing to do with Karen’s parenting. So you’re not evening pointing out Ramona’s flaws. You’re just highlighting someone else’s flaws. So if you do something wrong, would you like someone to put your mother or father on blast for something they did that has nothing to do with you? No, of course not. It’s not the way to rebut.
It’s a mistake. We all make mistakes. But you’re not owning it. You really should.
I read your blog a lot and enjoy it. I love your interviews. You ask great questions. I also enjoy reading your recaps, including reading your opinions. But be careful how you attack back. It’s not right to bring someone else into the fight if you are upset about what someone else said.
Good luck and stay strong. I have to admit, you have big ones.
When you take on the responsibility of a popular blog, sh*t is going to happen, especially when writing about women who sell their souls to become famous.
It’s clear you don’t set out to hurt anyone at all. Sometimes people get riled up and angry. It comes with the territory. This is the “bad” side of owning a popular blog. But it makes you even better as you deal with it honestly as you have.
Yes, you need to have a very thick skin to do this — but keeping it honest as you have will make it all very rewarding for you and your followers.
Karen is a BULLY . Love ur Blog, keep up the good work Roxanne. Anyone who actually reads ur blog knows u NEVER ATTACK CHILDREN.
You write whatever you want – YOUR BLOG! In my opinion, if you aren’t pissing someone off, you probably aren’t doing a good job. Sometimes the truth hurts. Love your blog. Keep pissing people off. No need to apologize!
A lot of blogs are quite mean spirited. I think these mob wives are assuming that you are just as mean. If they bothered to READ your blog, they would see where you are coming from. I think they’re just being defensive. I do believe that like us, you want to post the ‘truth’ NOT the ‘gossip’. A lot of other blogs want to post whatever story will bring traffic to their site, true or not. That is what makes this site different.
I think that just because Karen is a mobsters daughter that she thinks she can say anything she wants to and also threaten people. Don’t think so! It was her friend (cousin) that started the mess by criticizing someone else, so maybe Karen should blast Ramona first. No one should ever talk about someone elses parenting skills unless they want people to talk about theirs. Roxy, hang in there. Your great and you can’t please everyone. Plus, people can take anything out of context if they want too. Maybe Karen wanted to attack you just to be relevant due to your popularity it would make her noticed to help promote her book.
Very classy of you to post this. Especially apologizing for other’s actions. Sounds like Karen is using her daughter to illicit sympathy. You know, like Ramona accused Drita of doing.
Just ignore it all. Anyone who concludes after reading your blogs, that you were trashing a child, or that you lied and said that Melissa was a stripper clearly can not read, or comprehend basic English, and that is the US school systems failure, not yours.
chin up – You are dong a great job
I agree with this post 1000%……… You’re a fantastic blogger & most of all very fair!!! Don’t let that twitter fest battle get to you, you handled yourself with class while the others didn’t….Good girl…
I ‘love’ your blogs & ‘in my opinion, that’s what it’s all about is stating ones opinion & the freedom to do so, just like the viewers state theirs after each show!!! Keep up the GREAT work !!!!!!
If ppl r offended then they have no insight 2 ur stories. Also, truth hurts. Ppl claim 2 b real but u show how they aren’t. They get offended. Lol at them!!! Ur still the best I’ve seen so far! N girl u got energy! Much love for u! Don’t let ppl talk u out of being yourself or shining a light on some shady things! Keep goin!
Good girl!! Way to be classy and above the drama.
In order to judge your parenting skills you have to you know…. Parent your child!! You are doing EXACTLY what you claim Drita is doing. Using your child to garner public sympthy and gain popularity. Rox didn’t question your paranting skills, but I DO. You seem to be A- OK, letting your child see you in 2 of the biggest fights on Reality TV. You are breaking bad w/ Carla trying to start a THIRD. Bitch please. I AM judging your “skills” and you are falling woefully short. Stop trying to manipulating viewers to gain popularity on the back of your child. Your atrocious.
Big surprise Karen would get her followers to attack you, she’s a joke! pfft and to think she was actually my favorite mob wife at first. She’s a middle aged woman acting like she’s effing 10 years old! Such a phony joke! Yeah Drita talks a lot of shit but she’s real and you can tell that she has heart is a good person TEAM DRITA
Absolutely love your blog! Thanks for keeping it real as always. Karen needs to realize that she is responsible for protecting her daughter and If she doesn’t want people attacking her child on social websites is to make sure she’s not a member of them. I have seen several posts that stated that Karen should’ve Ben kept out of it because Ramona gave the interview. I am sure that Romona shared with her “cousin” what she was going to talk about in the interview and I’m sure Karen was fine with it. I mean it’s not like she has shown any objectivity any time Drita’s name came up.
Reading these blogs to find out further information about all our fav shows is what they should be for. The bloggers are simply giving us all what they find that is not always included in these shows. They include their thoughts on the subject, as do we all. These blogs help to not only gain info but also interest in these shows, also boosting their ratings. Most of the blogs I have read across many sites seem to be fairly weighted on all sides. I am neither judge nor jury, neither are the bloggers. They have simply put out information they have. The only ones who know the truth are those involved and who have done the said actions. We cannot put blame on bloggers we CHOOSE to read. We should not get angry with people we don’t know over situations we will never fully understand, and REALLY never would have been apart of if not for the reality shows. Think about it, if you saw this stuff happening (everything, not just this parenting issue) on the street or in any public arena, you would have your own thoughts, BUT you would not be raising your own blood pressure over it and going to battle with strangers over somebody else’s drama. Be thankful your own life does not deal with these situations. Be thankful you are just a viewer who watches out of curiosity. Be thankful you can turn your tv and computer off and your life goes back to normal. Unfortunately for these reality stars they cannot turn it off. My suggestion is if you don’t like the blog, show, website, etc. Turn it off and walk away, don’t continue to spawn hate and anger. The employees are only doing there jobs, let them sit back and take a breath once in a while.
