it’s not gonna be healthy for me to watch anymore of this shit. i love you teresa but i can’t watch them gang up on you anymore. this just sux
before caroline even starts to question teresa as a mother, she should look in the mirror. gia works her butt off and just made straight A’s in school…oh and she is in a music video that went viral and the kid singing in the video is now gonna open up for one direction, so fuck all you losers, lol
Ohhhh please…Caroline surely taught her children that they are never wrong…Punta Cana much??? It’s all Tre’s fault that her drunken sons got in trouble!!! LOL she really needs to get the clue that no one takes her advice anymore!
EXACTLY!!! But bitchy boy Cohen won’t mention that.
C is just pissed cause her to mama boy painsy a** sons probably got their a**’s kicked they aren’t use to playing w/ the big boys they much rather pick on and humilate girls (Jac*ss, Ashlee,Tre, her daughters, Danielle, Kim g, lauren) i’m sure the list is longer. Way to go C you taught your boys good!!!!
I hope we see a backlash like BBW saw this week. It is not ok to go after someones child on national TV. Jac sitting there with her innocent “i didnt do anything” face after going IN ON GIA! I imagine this is what she did to ashleeeeeee for 3 seasons! I bet this is why Ashlee was sent away.. so Jac could focus on bringing Tree down. I’m really over this stupid show and I hold AC responsible for it. Children should be off limits!
Who or what is BBW? Really curious!
Basketball Wives. lol
It’s ‘BLK’… A black water which is supposed to be really good for you, etc…. The two Manzo boys got involved with it & were backed with the $$ by their uncle Chis ….
Here’s a link on it if you’re interested & nope I don’t care for it……
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/23/blk-water_n_978266.html
BBW is basketball wives not BLK… LOL
They are getting serious heat from sponsors and viewers for the violence and ganging up on cast members. I think the show will be pulled off the air… but who knows.
I..I…I.. I’m am without words…. Just speechless.. New low for bravo. Hope they’re proud
They always do this. Make the teasers for the upcoming show look so shocking but then u watch and it’s totally a diff story. From what I saw it seemed Jac was reading Gia a story about sportsmanship??? Even if it was about something else Jac(who I don’t like that much) didn’t appear to be “going after” Gia or being abusive. I could tell she was mortified by T dressing her down. Idk about this one.
What happens? I can’t see the vid in UK
I just watched it. She is so good! Wow!
I was just going to say the same thing Gupto. I don’t know if I can watch anymore. Just the 50 second clip got my blood boiling. Now they’re going after Gia. Teresa has every right to go GANGSTA on them for that. It’s one thing to say to a kid ” Oh please don’t touch that vase” if the kid is in YOUR house touching a vase you don’t want her to touch. But sitting down with them to give them a moral/life lesson? Jacqueline is truly out of her f*cking mind. Who the hell does she think she is? As a parent, I would NOT react well to someone doing that to my child. It doesn’t matter what Gia did, it’s NOT JACQUELINE OR CAROLINE’S PLACE TO TEACH, INSTRUCT OR DISCIPLINE SOMEONE ELSE’S CHILD. I think Jacqueline probably started out as a decent person, but after all these years, she’s internalized Caroline’s sh*t. Does anyone doubt that’s exactly what Caroline’s been doing for years with Ashley? Telling Jacqueline how to discipline and raise her like it’s her right to do so? I really hope Teresa tells her in no uncertain terms she had better never ever do anything like that again. These ppl have serious boundary issues.
Of course thats what C has been doing!! From season 1 her and her kids have been putting Ashlee down like she was the red headed step child. And this she is edited to under an hour an episode imagine how much insults we didn’t hear from the beast and her offspring
And don’t forget, Jen the story told around “Lauren’s Big Business Opening” last season was ” Ashley f*cked up a t-shirt graphic. ” even though Lauren threw a tantrum and closed down the whole operation one day after it opened. Who’s the spoiled brat with no consideration for other ppl’s time, work and money here? There are at least TWO scenes with Lauren LECTURING Ashley about responsibility and respecting other ppl’s time and deadlines and Ashley just sat there are took it and then didn’t even rat Lauren out after she closed down the business the next day. No one would blame her if she did after the abuse she took so her mother and Lauren could have a storyline. The Manzo/Laurita ought to be THANKING Ashley for taking one for the team instead of embarrassing Caroline Junior for her extreme irresponsibility and bratty behavior. These ppl are jokes.
Damn Rox, we need an edit button! I meant to say ” The Manzo/Laurita CLAN ” and “and” instead of “are”. Hmmrp.
Oh I know but Ashlee has been around since she was little she knows how this works. Imagine if she did open her mouth god knows where Big C would have has her sent i know it wouldn’t have been Las vegas
I hope she does go gangster. I hope she starts releasing all the dirt she has on these fools. I dont know why she’s kept her mouth shut thus far!
Of course you’re right. But try and hang in because the time will come when C and J get theirs. This is what I’m waiting for. Give them enough rope and they’ll hang themselves. Without their support against T, Mel and Kathy will fall too!
I agree with your feeling on how difficult this show is to watch. Go sign the petition at
http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/boycottrhnj
Sorry to burst your bubble, but petitions are a total waste of time when it comes to Bravo. All they care about is making money. They make money when ratings are high — which attracts huge advertising dollars. And because this season generated so much buzz, the ratings were very high.
An angry petition with a few thousand signatures will be mocked and deleted. That said — a viewer’s choice to watch or not is an individual decision that deserves respect.
I don’t understand your comment about respecting a viewer’s decision to watch the show or not. I have already said in a previous post that I admire those who have the patience and strength to watch the show. I have never criticized anyone for their choice to watch the show or not.
Weather or not a petition will do anything or not is irrelivant. I guess I’m like an old school hippy who feels that if I believe in something that I should try to do something about it instead of just sitting back, doing nothing, with no voice and hope that things should change on their own.
I also believe that sometimes people feel that their actions alone will not benefit anything, so they do nothing. When people realize that others are standing up then sometimes they will too. If enough people voice their opinions sometimes they will be heard. If enough people decide not to watch the show, then YES it absolutely can affect ratings.
I understand your activism and if it makes you feel better then that’s what matters. I suppose the point that was lost or that I failed to make was that it would totally suck if you and so many others spent energy on a petition — that would ultimately be ignored.
Either way — just by posting your feelings and observations here in a community of like-minded viewers — well I think that is super powerful.
Didn’t mean to offend you; I was just trying to save y’all some angst and I pulled a “posting FAIL”
It’s true, ask Kate Gosslien about her “haters” and how they kept her on air by watching each week so they could complain in a blog. Haters have to be watching to hate… Her PR told her this and she was stupid enough to repeat it , which resulted in all those haters tuning out.. she was cancelled swiftly.. The only way you can change RHONJ is to tune out.
I agree Say – I keep watching because I feel like I can’t accurately defend Teresa if I don’t. But a ratings slide is the ONLY thing that will get BRAVO to change.
However, I’m totally PRO Annah’s petition and I signed it and I hope lots of other ppl will too. MAYBE there’s a SLIM chance the PR nightmare will get big enough for BRAVO to at least tone down the bullying and/or for the Manzos and Gorgas to become complete pariahs. Although, I suspect that second part might happen all on its own.
EVERYONE needs to stop giving the ratings to Bravo.
@Annah, wait until the petition has a lot of signatures and then forward it to NBC Universal. Bravo will not care, but perhaps if we fill up NBC’s inbox they will act on it. It is worth a try. Everyone needs to voice their opinions to NBC Universal(Bravo’s parent company, in other words Bravo’s BOSS)
Everyone needs to spread the news about the petition on all threads, on all of the blogs
commenting about RHNJ. We can make a difference if the right person sees this and gets involved. Tweet out info about the petition to everyone on your lists.
CHEERS !!!
What I do..is watch it in re-run only! I never watch it on Sunday and I don’t watch WWHL at all!
I also applaud Annah’s activism even though I’ve chosen a different solution. Whatever works, right?
I’ve stopped watching on Sunday nights – they replay the damn thing so many times I can catch it all week. Someone posted that if watch the second rerun it doesn’t hit their ratings. So that’s what I’ve done. . You’ve all voiced what I’m sure others will feel next week – involving kids has to be the lowest of the lowest behavior. The camera angle and Teresa trying to shield Gia…. Heartbreaking.
You are so right Say What, if you want it off air, don’t watch. As long as their are viewers, there will be sponsors paying millions for ads and the show will go on.They are not going to cancel because viewers are blogging that they don’t like the shows after tuning in every week to be disgusted by the drama and then going to the internet (where more paid advertisemetns are posted) and commenting, complaining, supporting, ect. Actually, the more drama the show brings the more money everyone makes…including this blog (purchased a cute bag from Ivanka Trump site just the other day) .Without these crazy reality shows, a lot of blogs would be out of business, and a lot of reality stars would have to move out of their mansions, and fire their stylist, hair people, nannys, house keepers, drivers, ect. Wow, Drama is a big money making machine. Bravo, please, please, please make a Houswives Show in my town…..I have wonderful house but will rent an even bigger one…at least 8,000 sf for me, my hubby, 2 kids and a dog. I will even move my mom and sister in for more drama…when we get together, it is “on and popping”. I will even sell the rights for my children to be filmed as long as you pay them a per episode fee…I will also make sure they act a damn fool on TV so that the cycle can continue…..crazy drama, millions of disgusted viewers tuning in every week, multi-million dollar advertisers, blogers, internet advertisers,,,,,oh yeah and you will pay me close to a million dollars a year if I increase the drama every week. YES, PLEASE ME, PLEASE ME.. I will even ask my jelaous ass SISTER-IN-LAW, who we all hate, especially my mom, to bring her silly ass on the show to bash me. I will even get drunk in from of my kids, and do a cartwheel and bust my mouth on the floor and knock our my two front teeth in front of my husband’s business associates and my pastor (I’m sure he and his wife will come if you pay them a back ground character fee) Do I qualify?
Lmaooo
Then I guess I’m doing my part. I quit 10 minutes into episode one.
Say what, so true. Actions speak louder than words.i haven’t watched this season or WWHL at all. Hurt bravo where it counts, in their ratings and ultimately, in their pockets. Tune out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjmTc4fv7jI
this is the video gia is dancing in…..much love to gia, u go kid <3
Wow! Someone with real talent!
cool video and great song.
wow! I had no idea Gia was doing such big things. This is why the others are so mad at Teresa. Teresa has taken off and because of her hard work her and her family haven bennifited from the show. The others fail at EVERYTHING they do. Carolines children have had one get rich quick scheme after another and have yet to go ANYWHERE with anything. She is fooling herself into believing anyone will drink their swamp water lol They obviously are holding their own failures against Tree
GO GIA
How exciting for her!
here is gia dancing with her dance crew for toddlers and tiaras
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abVGz9cAqgo
this child is truly talented and she will be a success while the manzo kids are still playing insult tag on twitter.
when caro said that about gia in the above video i wanted to bitch slap her geriatric ass, lol
Thanx for sharing.. love Giudices girls, I have 3 girls of my own a d can relate with Tree…I have my own Milania..lol..and love her so much!
I want an hour of just MILANIA
Wow! Gia is so amazing and talented! I didn’t even recognize her ’till I noticed her big, beautiful eyes! She looks like a mini Teresa, so it wasn’t that hard to spot her. Proud of you, Gia!
I know this probably doesn’t belong in this thread but it doesn’t really fit anywhere so whatever. Can we PLEASE talk about Joey clearly not being jogo’s son? I mean this elephant has been in the room for a while
Better yet his rape charges that his dad paid for the girl to drop the charges.I would really like to know more about that!!!!
This show needs to be boycotted.i know I have stopped watching it
Melissa is disgusting. Who marries a rapist? Sick fuck
a dirty ho thats been passed around more times then a $5 hooker
@lmfao – Who marries a rapist???
How about someone named MeHo who is trying to keep her criminal charges/record hidden.
There was a poster on a thread here that mentioned “something about her charges/record?? being hidden, but not to worry cause it was going to come out soon.”
The poster did not elaborate or let us know if it happened in NJ or Florida, when she lived there.
Does anyone else remember who the post was from?????
Ok, don’t mean to sound like a moron, but what is this about JG raping someone??? How could I have missed that??? Do you know any details??
@Srt_3 – When he was younger, he was alleged to have particpated in the gang rape of a lady. The story going around is that the Elder Gorga’s paid her off to keep quiet about it, and she dropped the charges against Him, we don’t know if the others involved were charged or convicted.
Who know’s what the truth is, but appearently there are News Paper articles and records floating around to prove it.
Yes, please. I missed that too. Yikes
Go sign the petition at
http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/boycottrhnj
Ok, without going into details I have been in a position of being assaulted. As a woman, I can’t understand any woman being with someone who had forced himself on someone. It’s disgusting. Shame on them.
Str – Andy has a problem with gay slurs, okay, fine fair enough, I do too. But he apparently has NO problem putting someone on who was accused of gang rape?
@Srt_3 – Sorry to hear that.
There are a lot of messed up people in this world.
I signed it Annah. You really should pass that link around as much as possible.
Yes, lets pass it around as much as possible.
http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/boycottrhnj
Annah, you really should send a link to BRAVO. They won’t publish your post or acknowledge you or it of course, but they ought to know how tired many ppl are getting of their general exploitation and bullying of Teresa Giudice, and now, her kids. Think about it, camera operators stood there and filmed that; producers OK’d the filming of it, and then after made editing decisions surrounding it.
Yes, if enough people sign it.
I signed the petition.
YAY!!
I don’t know where you get that from — I looked closely, the baby looks a lot like his brother Gino.
because they have the same mother
I cant stand Melissa or Joe.. but i have never looked at their children and thought they were not his lol
Maybe he isnt the father, thats not a big deal. The fuss should be over them both cheating then pretending they have a perfect marriage on TV.
I don’t know if he looks like Gino but I do think he looks like Joey. I also believe that it doesn’t matter about the circumstances, Joey is fathering the baby, maybe he knows it might not be his but he is choosing to raise him and be his daddy. So, it shouldn’t even matter what the situation is in that department. I happen to believe he is the baby’s father simply because I don’t see any good in trying to say otherwise.
He absolutely looks like Joe Go.’s dad – actually it’s so obvious, I’m surprised each time I see people talk about this… Just check out some of the pics if you haven’t picked up on it in the videos and you’ll see what I mean… The same way Gabriella looks like Joe Giudice’s mom, or at least his side of the family. My opinion.
I have a feeling next week is going to be the last straw for a lot of people, me included. Now Jac and Caroline are moving on the bash Gia. Jac reading a book trying to be a parent. WTF! We all know she is such a good parent. We’ve spent the last two seasons watching her crying over Ashlee being so bad. Jac has no clue how to be a mother, she needs to shut the hell up!
And Caroline trying to talk about what message Teresa is sending …. Bitch please ! Take a look at your own grown kids that can’t wipe their ass without you hovering over them.
I am fired up at this little part on the video, I can imagine how I am going to be after watching the full episode. IF I watch.
.
I thought I read somewhere that Caroline Manzo did not go to her nephew’s funeral. I think he was either 21 or 25.
Neither did her adult children. I think the funeral was last year and it was her brother’s son!
Why in heaven’s name would Caroline Manzo be harping on Teresa and her family?
I love the laughter that Teresa and her family bring to the show. I hate the vile spiteful venom filled comments that the others spew on Teresa on this show.
I am not watching this season of Jersey hw’s. That last reunion Teresa bash-fest was too much for me. Not entertainment, just a Bravo show full of vindictive/angry/jealous/dysfuntional group of woman riding Teresa’s coattails.
When I sit down and turn on the boob tube, I want to laugh and I want of good feeling moments when the show ends. Teresa and her adorable family need a family show where the editing is not slicing n’ dicing them.
I will not be watching.
The story about Caro not attending her Nephew’s Funeral ( God bless Him ) has been out for a while now. What I would like to know is, how many of her 11 sibling’s get along with her.
I read somewhere that 5 or 6 ??? of them have nothing at all to do with her or her family.
I wish that someone would come out of the woodwork, and spill all her dirty laundry, like she is doing with Teresa.
Maybe the rumor of the Manzo’s being “connected” is true, and has scared people off.
It irks me that no one has the balls to spill her secrets.
Susan I thought the same thing. As disgusted as I’ve been by the treatment of Teresa by both the “ladies” and BRAVO, this TINY clip got my blood boiling like never before. They — Jacqueline, Caroline, Mel, Kathy JoeGo, Rich and of course BRAVO — are really crossing a line now.
Of course Bravo is over the line with this. Caroline just might lose some fans because of this scene. I hope.
Three seasons. It started season 1. Remember the photo shoot, the car, and Danielle wanting to talk to Ashley for Jac. That has been jacs whole storyline from the beginning.
Someone puleeeeze hit Caroline upside the head. I guess God gave her the official rule book about what was right and wrong in parenting, seems to have worked real good for her huh?? She needs to worry about the message she keeps sending her daugher, she is insufferable!
You know what this show needs? It needs Tammy m-fer ROMAN! To come in and tear Jac, Caroline, melissa, kathy and the adult kids a new asshole. I would pay them to watch Tammy put these bitches in CHECK! They are the only ones who deserve to be beat down by Tammy Roman lol
Allright, I confess, I am not up to date on the “who’s who” but who is Tammy Roman?? If she is able to get them to “check” their nonsense, I want to know!!!
Tammy was originally on season two of the real world. she also married Kenny Anderson of the Boston Celtics. And they must’ve divorced she lost all her money. She came back by doing something I’ve no idea what and then got this gig on basketball wives.
I thought she was on season 1, the original new york cast?
ROFLMAO….Ok, I am sick of Tammy this season but YOU ARE RIGHT…OMG..LOL LOL LOL She would handle it all!!!!!
OMG. That would be bad ass!! I could not believe how wrong Tami was with Keisha — I literally started crying for Keisha, and my husband walked in the room and I was all, “you wouldn’t believe how scary Tami is” and he shaked his head and walked out!! Tami is wrong all the way around but I could see her in one or two episodes, because Caroline and Melissa deserve it.
Can’t you see her? Slowly taking out her hoop earings, slowly rolling up her sleeves, smirking at them with her eyebrow all the way up her forehead!! Calling Melissa bougie!!
OMG YES I can see it!!!!! I agree with you, Tami was sooo wrong in the Kesha situation but yeah, these women wouldn’t know what hit them if someone unleashed Tami on their butts! Lol!!!
@obvious……..no, 2nd. I could name all the cast mates but that would be embarrassing…..
This is Caroline’s and Jacqueline’s way of getting even with Teresa over Teresa’s blog regarding last season. What Teresa wrote were truths about how both women brought family matters onto the screen, whereas this is on Teresa’s parenting skills. Proof that both Caroline and Jacqueline have such a low character.
Maybe tre , her brither, and SIL would be getting along right now but then where would that leave C and Jac(ass). Without a J O B !!! They both need to STFU about parenting skills look at the bang up job they did! C has 3 grown a** kids they act like morons and Jac(ass) is on her way too. I remember last season T said to J i’m sorry i haven’t really been there for you w/ Ashlee but i don’t want to say the wrong thing that is YOUR daughter. Exactly she has class and knows her boundries, she is not going to bad mouth someone elses child like C andJac(ass) do. However i really don’t think J would have minded because from season 1 she obvisiously had NO problem at all letting C and her kids make a fool out of Ashlee. Now thats some GREAT parenting Jac(ass) you should write a book but don’t forget to let C be your co-author you don’t want to piss off the sweaty hog.The only one i seen from season 1 constantly attacking the “kids” on the show has been C. I bet the reall reason Dina and her don’t talk is because unlike Jac(ass) who sits there and C belittle her child Dina shut the fat b*tch right down.
Jen,
“I remember last season T said to J i’m sorry i haven’t really been there for you w/ Ashlee but i don’t want to say the wrong thing that is YOUR daughter.”
I am so glad you put this in because I was remembering the same thing, How dare she????? Is her nose so far up the wine bottle that she forgets what a good, supportive friend Teresa has been to her.
I also remember Teresa told Jac she was “sorry” for being so busy and “not being there for her” in what was obviously a bad time for her.
And then she gave her a big hug. never saw Caroliar do that.
No, we will never see C truly care for anyone. the only thing her and her kids are good at is putting everyone in their place which happens to always be right below them. i think the only one raising their kids as if they are better is C. she sure does alot of talking why doesn’t she talk about the fact that she has to pay for her 2 20 something yr old boys to live in their apt? and who bought all of their cars? who paid for lauren to go to beauty school? who paid for lauren to start not 1 but 2 businesses that failed? Come on C try and teach America your great parenting skills. oh yeah nobody offered you your own talk show so STFU and go mop the floors
between the wine bottle and C a**hole i don’t know if her nose should red or brown! I think Jac(ass) was at the reunion last seaon she was just stuck up C a** so far she couldn’t get out!
@Jen – yes, Tre has too much class and knows her boundries. “She is not going to bad mouth someone elses child like Caro and Jac do”
And they (Caro and Jac) are aware of this and use it to their advantage.
When Ashley came home from the airport and Chris started insulting and making her seem useless jacoholic just stood there. Ashlee looked at her for help and she just stood there and let Chris talk shit. She has probably made it clear to Ashlee from a young age her new husband and family comes before her. It made me so mad. Be honest is Ashlee’s behavior really that surprising with the way her mom treats her?
Yep. I got that too. And it’s inconceivable to me as a mother that she would let not just her step father, but the whole gaggle of them stand around and make fun of and berate her daughter. I said upthread, the picture is coming into focus with this family. It’s pretty obvious to me after years of suffering Caroline’s wrath and dealing with the boundary-less Laurita clan, Jacqueline has unfortunately taken on their characteristics.
ITA with both of you. Also, when Jacs trainer showed up with a bottle of whiskey? She probably brought it to every work out session because her and Jac drink EVERYDAY it wasnt unusual for her!
I thoughtI hallucinated that whole whiskey bottle. That’s a great trainer right there! :/
Lmfao
STFU CAROLINE!! Where do you get off telling another mother how to parent their children,Your ADULT CHILDREN ARE LOSERS AND STILL ATTACHED TO YOUR BOOBIES. Do they even have Jobs? You did not teach them any manners and my Grandmother use to always say “The apple does not fall far from tree” What mother would tell her daughter she is FAT and allow the rest of family call her fat. CAROLINE YOU ARE BITCH!! I really don’t think I could watch the show anymore because I can’t stand seeing you and listening to your stupid interviews. TEAM TERESA!!!!!
The Manzo “kids” do NOT, as Caroline always claims, have anything approaching proper manners. They’re mean, nasty and coarse, just like Caroline. They’re rude bullies who’ve yet to do anything with their lives and can’t function without 50 family members around them propping them up.
TRUTH! Take away mom and dads money.. set them free in the world to provide for their self and see how they manage..Gia at her current age would probably manage better then these FOOLS
Who thinks that Chris Laurita and Albert Manzo are uninformed about everything that has transpired???
I do not for a minute think that these two are aware of everything. Didn’t Albert tell Caro to mind her own business and keep her nose out of it all. In the past, Chris has pretty well told Jac the same thing.
hmmm, just sying, I wonder how they would feel about their wives if they knew everthing.
Back when they found Danielle’s ex, who wrote Cop Without a Badge, they were all taking pics with this man and having dinner trying to get the dirt on Danielle (they are really low ppl). It was Caro, Jac, and T with all of their husbands and albie (why albie was there boggles my mind, much less, why were any of them there?).
First of all, where does Jac get off reading any book to Gia like she is a loving Auntie when she does nothing but call out her mother constantly?? And, if indeed it was set up by Bravo for the show, how DARE they use this child to create more drama? Dina was right to take herself and Lexi out of this mess.
They are chummy with all the camera men and producers.. plus AC so no DOUBT they all knew what they were doing. It was set up to make Gia look bad and make Teresa look like a bad parent. I am so disgusted with all of them..and greg is back for this episode cant wait to hear what kind of nasty digs he takes at Teresa and Gia.. this should be great.. the bullying and take down of an 11 year old child by a group of ADULTS that are supposed to be FAMILY.
I Hope Joey is proud of himself. I hope he has acomplished what he set out to.
I don’t think he accomplished what he set out to do. Teresa has more fans than ever. The only thing he accomplished is destroying a TV show and pushing it that much closer to cancellation.
Yeah. I plan to go right out and buy Teresa’s latest cookbook. I DO think her books are polished and pretty good, but would I have purchased them if not for the rest of the cast attacking her? Probably not. And I think there are a lot of ppl like me, who think the same way. They’re putting more $$ in her pocket with every insult.
Have fun “singing” at the local grocery store Melissa! Lets hope that brings in enough cash to pay for the LATEST “Once in a lifetime dream house.”
Actually, I, along with a lot of us, bought her cookbooks before the hoopla. I wanted to make Italian meals for my family and what better way to do so than to support T and her old school, traditional recipes. I like HER and didn’t mind helping her get out of some debt.
Btw, her recipes are really delicious! We make a ton of food out of the books on a regular basis.
I am not watching this show until it goes back to the fun like in season 1. Even Dina’s daughter tweeted that the gorga’s and walkie’s ruined the show. Caroline and Jaqueline need to GO!!!!
really? Lex Manzo said that
Yes, sunday night she tweeted the gorgas and wakilies have ruined the show they needd to take this stuff to dr phill not rhonj! No wonder Dina and Lexi left this show.. they are way above these people.
I would LOVE to know the exact nature of the issue between Caroline and DIna. I said somewhere else on here, although I’m sure there are specific events and betrayals, I suspect Dina is just far more emotionally healthy than the rest of that clan and realized she needed to distance herself to preserve her own sanity.
@ JoJoLaMa,
Dina is the only one that we have seen that has morals in that family.
Caro won’t say a word about Dina. They’re still not talking. Dina left to avoid the drama but when she left she cut Caroline off. She cut all of them off except T. Maybe Dina knew Caro was turning into a monster and didn’t like it. Caro must have went nuts because Dina remained close to T. I think that is why Caro turned on T. She doesn’t give a crap about Mel and Kath, she joined them for her own reasons. Caroline is very possible with Dina. It had to kill her that Dina stopped talking to her. I wonder if we’ll ever know the truth?
I saw Lexi’s tweet as well.
Dina should be proud of her daughter, at least someone in that family is not wearing blinders.
I wonder if that tweet was what led Jac to include Dina in her blog. Coincidence or is she really that much of a nutjob?
I didn’t see Lexi’s tweet, but if that put Jac over the edge…she has more problems than we have bandwidth to list! And good for Lexi for saying what everyone knows — but leaving her family out of it! lol That girl’s a decent diplomat!
I didn’t see the tweet. :/
I was wondering though if now that Dina is no longer talking with Jac and Car do they still see their niece [Lexie]. Or have they cut their own niece off to get at Dina?
Also why are Dina and Jac feuding?
I’m not watching either, you should sign the petition at

Hi Annah, I already signed, and have not watched one episode this season and will wait and watch the reunion show only.
Keep posting the link for others that have not seen it.
Great Job, Thanks for taking the initiative.
CHEERS !!!
Hi JanShe,
I won’t be watching either, I can hardly stand reading about it. I hope to one day read something positive happening in the show. I was almost happy to see the clip of them all having fun together in the yard with the games, but then it was totally ruined by Jacquelyn and Caroline picking at Gia… it made me sick.
Making the petition was the easy part, getting people to sign it, I think, is a group effort. If everyone who agrees with it includes the link in their posts on other sites and tweets it etc we might get something real out of it.
The link again:

About Dina…….She has her own show on HGTV. I can’t remember the name of it. It’s about party planning and etc. Dina was on Fox News last Saturday promoting the show, and how to give a Mother’s Day party without breaking the bank. New episodes start in June. Good for you Dina.
I believe that the show is called Dina’s Party, I watch it and wanted to let you all know, that Lexi is on some of the episodes working with her Mom.
I find it interesting that Dina brought Lexi on this show, but did not want her on NJ with Caro and the gang. Perhaps Caro treated Lexi the same way that she treats Ashlee and Dina will have none of it.
Re-Post
I think we need to photo-shop the baby Manzo boys breast-feeding, because we know they still are. Or maybe do a skit of the “The Breast-Feeding Manzo Babies” sitting in Caroline’s basement yelling “more fried Meat balls Ma”-then Caroline saying “My boys are taking the world by strom” LOSERS Just thinking about this puts a huge smile on my face!!
LOL!!! Now that would be entertaining
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!
Anacapri: please send me your address so I can forward you my next few therapy bills. hahaha.
Ha Ha. If I knew how to photoshop I would take that Time magazine with the breastfeeding mom and photoshop Caroline’s ugly face on the mom and Critter-fur on the kid. Maybe his name should be Titter-fur!
Oh my goodness!! When I saw that I really did think of Caroline! I am with my Grands rightnow-but I think when I get home I am goin to have to work on that
That would make a great SNL skit. I’m laughing thinking about it. LMAO at “Titter-fur too. Funny!
So what did Caroline teach Lauren by letting her throw a tantrum and close down her business ONE day after it opened because she wasn’t ” getting proper respect “?
thats Lauren’s version. They probably tossed her a** out cause she has that self rightous attitude like her mom and walked in there like she owned the joint.
Jen, that was my guess. She opened this business with friends and felt since her parents paid for most of it and she brought it on TV that she was in charge.. she didnt have respect because she didnt earn respect..
Say what. – exactly. She didn’t earn respect. Well said. ITA.
Ok, this show is getting beyond ridiculous! Seriously. It is beyond comprehension that a child is now being thrown into the mix now. It is incomprehensible. You know, I liked NJ the last 2 seasons. I liked the banter, and at times, liked the fighting. But the way this poor woman is constantly attacked and mocked and ridiculed is in such poor taste on Bravo’s part to air.
I agree. They’re all crossing all sorts of lines here.
E-Mail and Tweet your disgust at this storyline to NBC Universal ( Bravo’s Boss ) If the right person sees the outrage of the viewers they can make Bravo change the storyline. Bravo and their gang mentality bullies have gone to far. Why would they air an episode showing Adults, teasing and lecturing a minor child, and then let another cast member question the minor child’s parent on their parental skills.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!
I tweeted AC almost daily to get Taylor off BH. She then blocked me. Surprised AC didn’t either, considering what I said!!! But truthfully, I think all that matters to him is the all mighty dollar. God forbid he takes into account how this crap really effects peoples’ lives. Russell anyone???
The only reason I am going to watch is bc last season I didn’t love Teresa. Now, when I am watching it, mybfeelings are changing. I feel so awful for those woman. And I think MG and JG are main issues. While C is most definitely a bully and J is a moron, the other two take the cake. Going on tv only to make T look bad…..awful.
My one criticism of T and for all of them, for that matter, is they don’t listen to one another. Its like they are just thinking of what to say without really listening to the issues at hand. Had JG listened to T, maybe he would get she just wants to be in his life. Period. But no…..he just flaunts things in front of her and doesnt give a t
rats ass who he hurts. Look at Gia!!
Ok…that is it!!! I have crossed over…..going towards the light……
Cross over..all are welcome!
It must chap Caros a$& cos the Laurita – Manzo clan was supposed to rule the roost… Tre was supposed to be “the friend”. Oh well… She wanted to create futures for her kids. But she hasn’t been successful. Maybe telling America her son was learning disabled wasn’t a good look… A false sense of self importance… Getcha every time.
Srt, if you can see this.. knowing youre not the biggest Teresa fan.. this just proves how low they have gone. Even non Teresa fans are sick of the game they are trying to play.
Sometimes when i read other blogs i wonder if the commentors are jac, melissa and caro plus their family because how can they watch the same show and think its ok to treat someone this way? But there are so many supportors that it cant be just family. I am seriously speechless that some people cant see what is going on.
I’ve noticed that too, Say What, but only on BRAVO – everywhere else on the internet it’s a different story. My theory is what makes it onto their boards is not even close the total number of comments ppl actually submit. So if Caroline has like say a total of 200 comments posted and 150 of them are positive, you can bet the real total number is like 800, the overwhelming majority of them negative. That’s conjecture on my part, but one thing that’s not is BRAVO seems to be the only place on the internet where 75% of the ppl appear to be PRO Caroline/Mel/Jac. How is that possible? Answer: it’s NOT. Think about it, it’s not at all far-fetched. We could all write 25 paragraphs worth of words about times when Andy Cohen and/or BRAVO producers have show blatant favoritism toward Caroline especially. Just think of the season 3 reunion, WWHL the other night when WW went off script and bashed Caroline and Andy’s reaction etc etc.. They have it in for Teresa – that seems like well-estabkished fact at this point. It’s not a big leap to suggest they might be manipulating and heavily editing their boards to prop the other ladies up.
I’ve had a couple comments posted this week. I said to Caroline, “Well, well, well, we finally agree on something. You ARE a bully.” It seems like you can be negative if you tone it down.
Well, like I said Mandy, SOME do get through. I’ve probably had like 2 of 30 make it onto the boards. If they didn’t let ANY negative comments about Caroline et al get posted, it would look too suspicious.
As I have said to you before, my feel g are changing……mainly due to the audacity of the other women!! Poor Teresa…..honestly, no one should be treated this way. It is such a dark place. Almost uncomfortable watching.
While I am warming towards T, I still feel she isn’t completely innocent in some things. That being said, no one deserves this bullying. I am a huge advocate for anti-bullying campaigns. And this goes way beyond.
I see C as the main one and J and her minion.
Ugh…
Say_What…..are you not proud?????
Sounds like you took a path similar to mine. I warmed up to Teresa last season when the bullying started and when I saw how she responded to their financial difficulties. She kept smiling and started working her ass off to pay their debts – I admire that. She is teaching her daughters an invaluable lesson.
Agree.:)
Glad to know I am not the only one in this position……
Srt_3,
I can’t speak for ‘Say What’ but me, I’m bustin’ my buttons over here. Good on ya! Welcome to the light.
I too never really liked Teresa. I thought she was a worthless spendthrift not worth a penny. Once adversity hit we all saw that while she may have been a spendthrift her personal worth exceeds that of all her castmates put together.
As far as I can tell, one of Teresa is worth ten of any of the rest of them.
I came late to the party but I plan on staying until it’s over. Your already demonstrated passion regarding right and wrong as you see it tells me you will be of the same mind.
Going after the kids is low.
I was half kidding when I posted elsewhere about Bravo going after the kids and hoped the responses to my comment were exaggerated. (I only watch the clips shown on Roxy’s site.).
Allowing the other cast mates to go after Teresa’s kid for a story line? And for the other cast mates to use a MINOR to stay relevant on a reality show? Bravo needs to stop before they get sued for emtionally damaging a child.
Minors are off limits!!! Lauren, Ashlee, Albie and Chris are all fair game because they are 18+. By the way, none of them seem to have actually held down a job that wasn’t given to them by their family and only one has a college degree. What business do they have giving Teresa advice about her children? It’s not ok to go after the ADULT spawn of Caroline and Jacqueline, but ok to go after the young child of Teresa. So wrong.
It’s annoying when you give someone parenting advice. It’s just plain wrong when you try to parent the child directly.
I cant help but wonder how they would have reacted had Teresa sat Ashley down and read a book t her about respecting yourself and your parents.. LOL
Or how they would have reacted had T commented on Ashley’s atrocious behavior the last 2 seasons…..
Just like most of u are going to stop watch rhnj I’m going to stop reading this blog and the comments. Practice what u preach. U condemn the ladies for ganging up on Teresa yet that is what u all do here ALL day long. Jacqueline’s blogs are dedicated to Tre and so is this blog. PRO GUIDICE even when they are also wrong. Any married couple relays info to one another. No surprise there. Terea
Well then don’t read it! but we are not going on about info be told it is disgusting how adults will go after young minor children just so they have a story line and they are kept on the show. but i guess you won’t see this since your not reading it so go mop the f*cking floors like BIG C should do
The reason why no one comments about the wrong things T does is, her wrong things are very minor. She’s not perfect, that’s true but the outrageous way the others have trashed her is sooooooo huge, T’s wrongs pale in comparison. It’s not enough to mention. The truth is the others are so so bad and they deserve to be trashed.
Pro Guidice freaks. They can do no wrong. They all talk about each other. The past needs to be in the past and move on. I saw Joe gorga attempt to do that and his sister couldn’t do it. When you are married ur spouse should be first. Jealousy is a major issue. She stated that Joey u used to come over every day before he was married, now he’s changed. He got married. It is ridiculous. Stop judging until u see the entire season. It is amazing how u people condemn the ladies for ganging up on teresa, yet u r doing it here. As adults, I hope u would keep an open mind. I’m turned off of this blog now like u r to Bravo. Go on vultures with no job or life and have it in the replies. There is nothing worse in this world than a thumb thugs or keyboard assassin.
thought you weren’t reading anymore??? How do you know how the rest of the season will play out??? go back in your basement and lip-sync another auto tuned song before the bank puts pad locks on your doors!!!
And do say hello to the “Breast-Feeding Manzo Babies” and MEHO and sweaty JOGO!
Now that’s good, LOL.
Well said !
We need to define “past” as stuff that happened or ” what has existed or has happened at some earlier time”. The past is not the past when it continually exists in the present and Joe Gorga proclaims in the next breath how his sister needs to “fall”. That is not the past and someone who truly wants to move forward positively! So there it is my reply!
You obviously have all the time in the world to sit around and read it so does “volture with no job” apply to you too?????
Oh great. The talking point of the week,
Teresa said Joe used to come over every day. Since the day the Gorgas joined the show, they’ve been whining about how Teresa never sees them, never makes time for them, never invites them to stuff. Now the tune does a 180, she’s bad because she said she is supposedly sooo clingy and wants to see Joe every day? Please. Teresa and Joe were arguing, she said this in the context of an argument. Her point was it’s not just always her, he has to make an effort, too–NOT that she expects him to be at her house every day!
Kelli,
One you are off base to call names to people. It makes you look like a troll and diminishes you opinion by attacking people who like Tre.
If you want to go by scene by scene we can do that. The conversation between Tre and Joey took place off camera. Joey not Tre brought into S4. That is fact.
Tre never denied making that statement. Fact.
Joey keeps bringing and rehashing it to covet an apology when he has made similar states about Joe Giudice ( cheating). What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Gorga hates karma, but it bit him right in his bottom. He has unclean hands.
No one demands and apology. An apology must be freely given. It was one of the most ridiculous and shorted sighted statement I have ever heard Mel or
Joey say. Joey’s worst and definitely nutty one was he is an angel of God.
If you have problems with people who like Teresa, you might not want to read this blog. Just go on over to the Bravo blogs where they mostly post Teresa bashers or comments spewing unicorns and rainbows about the other housewives.
A lot of us have moved over here because Bravo censors anything negative about Jac, Caroline, Kathy and Melissa. No, I don’t like them and I prefer to be on a site that practices freedom of speech.
Jen is right..come out of your basement..there is no one commenting that Teresa and her family are perfect…that includes Teresa!! *LOL* Teresa is not jealous of Melissa! Why? Teresa has a husband, she has children, she has the same RHONJ job and she is beyond successful when it comes to business! I think she just wants to spend time with her brother without his wife or her husband.
How was Joe Gorga attempting to put it in the past??
By waiting for two months after the comment was made, and then putting on a little show in front of the cameras?? That’s putting it in the past?
Reminding Teresa about a loan he made to her several years ago? Thats putting it in the past?
Joe’s attempt (as you say) to move on is CRAP. None of us saw that whole scene. From past performances, I believe T when she says he was out of control and very nasty. Remember the Christening? He’s a piece of garbage and so is his wife. The parents know the truth about their son and slut of a wife. They said why they invaded this show. Every parent knows their own kid and they side with T.
@kelli, I don’t feed trolls…….NO SOUP FOR YOU……
Spouses first, sure ok won’t argue with that. But this was TV CAMERAS first. Don’t get it twisted. Half the people here have already said they didn’t like Tre until s3…. But, really u shouldnt read anything that riles u up so. Take life easy… Look at the positive in life.. Like Tre.
you can move forward until the past is met , you need to understand the past mistakes in order to say , i understand what you were going through , i am sorry that you felt that way, or that i make you feel that way.
If you can not acknoweldge the hurt , you can not move forward. bring up the past doesnt mean you are not willing to move forward. it just means that no one has understood what is truly the problem.
i dont get how people say dont bring up the past, you just cant sweep it under the rug, it will just pile up.
i dont agree with the way the story is going, every bloddy thing is what teresa did, what joe guidice said. come one BRAVO , there are other things going on with the other ladies , we read it. bring it.
Season 1 and 2 were good because there were story lines with alot of the ladies. not its take away my problems and just focus on Teresa.
well you know, its backfiring on everyone, she is doing great, she was on CA, her books are doing fantastic. along with her working and getting her marraige on track , keeping her family together.
that is what is important. S5 im sure if they dont change the ladies will be the last. they all signed on for 5 years so lets see what happens.
Tre is going to be on QVC on June 10th as well.
I hope she keeps moving forwards and leaves them all behind her.
And I for one will be watching QVC for the first time and I will buy her cookbooks!!
Teresa can built something with this if she wants. I would like for her to come out with cook ware, drink ware, and small kitchen appliances, specially for small space such as dormatories and small apartments, or homes. Also Teresa needs to start doing VLOGS, video blogs at least once a week, she needs a YouTube Channel, when she can display her skills as a cook, and cook the recipes from her book.
I was planning on buying her latest book, perhaps I’ll wait until she’s on QVC!
I bought her first book as a show of support when the bullying began, I bought the second book because the first one was really good! Her recipes are simple to prepare, tasty and healthy.
ps.. caroline, jac (ASS) – i love that btw really are bitches, honestly
caroline really changed so much after her interview with Gayle.. omg “we were never friends” what a bitch !!!!
Melissa, Kathy, Jac, are CUNTS….Caroline is the biggest CUNT of them ALL…YEAH I SAID IT.
@JD – LOL – This is priceless !!!
LMAO. But, you misspelled Caroline, it’s Cuntoline.
Stop it! Do you really have to sink that low ? I don’t care for any of them and love Teresa always have, but I don’t think anyone has to name call especially that Cword to get there point across! I’m sorry if you don’ t agree with me but I don’t think that is the intent of these blogs. JMO…
I hope Jacqueline takes a step back and thinks about what she’s doing here. I understand the nature of these shows sucks the cast into going overboard and being too dramatic about stupid things, but when she sees herself making a little girl cry for screentime, I hope she just asks WTF is wrong with me. Gia is a person, not a prop. I also hope Bravo keeps a lid on all the nuts who are going to jump to attack the kids, but they probably won’t, let’s face it.
I wouldn’t hold your breath about Jacqueline realizing the error of her ways.
The ex-stripper/escort/ is trying to show us the light.
There is no longer any light with this show, it is very, very DARK and disgusting. Jac should fell ashamed to be associated with this storyline. Didn’t she say that she loved Gia once upon a time???
Caro and Jac are idiots and still do not see that by backing MeHo they are slaughtering there own reputations, or I should be saying, slaughtering what little of their reputation is left.
Did anyone see Tre on the Today show w/Kathy and Koda?….awkward…..those ladies made faces throughout the segment, and while Tre plugged her book several times, they failed to even post or plug it at the end. It was very strange to me. Tre looked extremely nervous and uncomfortable.
I say this….my heart breaks for Tre. She’s in full survival mode while dealing with a magnitude of stress from every angle. She wears it all over her face. Listen people, no matter who you are or what you’ve done, past or present….everybody’s somebody, and should be treated as such.
Tre, if you are reading this, please know…..my prayers go up to heaven for you and yours…..seriously! Enough!
Oops!….Hoda
KathieLee has always been a little sketchy, that is why Regis got rid of her. I do not watch their show, are you saying that Hoda is now the same way?
No one has any shame anymore, the world has way to many self-centered people in it.
UGH
Obviously, the hosts do not respect Teresa and consider her one hell of a joke. I think Teresa is purely delightful, she’s so authentic to who she is and that is so incredibly refreshing. If it were me hosting, I would thank her for just being her and being so entertaining. Now — let’s get cooking — and eating!
for real?…I saw the segment and I thought Tre did an excellent job…I thought Hoda and KathiLee were very nice to her. Even KathiLee said the rest of the housewives were jealous of her book. I just think they were on a time crunch because of overbooking their guests so they had to rush the cooking part. I saw KathiLee still eating the chicken as they were going to commerical!
I thought she did a great job! Here’s the video http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/47445114
Kathy Lee is a drunk, Koda (lol, I like that better than Hoda) is a good buddy of Bethenny. So that should explain it.
LOL at Jacqueline basically calling Gia a liar and bad sport. FYI Jac, Joey DID cheat. He didn’t even wait for Teresa to make it to the finish line before he took off. Idiot.
Yes, but remember too, Gia is a CHILD. Even if she were totally WRONG, she’s allowed to be a little immature and overly emotional sometimes. She’s 10. What’s the rest of their excuses???
AMEN!
Double that AMEN !!!
Make that a triple!!!!!
Jacqueline seems so immature. In those confrontations with Ashlee, she came off more childish than her “troubled” daughter. Kids do act immature and emotional. Calling her out and embarassing her on national TV is so wrong. It’s funny that no one NO ONE ever pointed out that jac could be wrong or go overboard being mean with Ashlee, it was always St. Jac versus her horrible daughter. But now she feels the right to not only sit in judgment of Tre’s parenting, but to call someone else’s kid out on normal childhood acting out? Someone needs to grow up here and it’s not Gia.
Agreed! What teenager haven’t acted out, disrespected their parents and acted like spoiled brats? I’m not defending Ashlee in the slightest, but Jacqueline is always so quick to throw her daughter under the bus and never takes any responsibility for how she contributed to Ashlee’s attitude. She basically used Ashlee for her storyline and for sympathy when the Danielle issue was over. Ashlee was so right on the money when she said Jacqueline loves to be in the center of drama. She inserts herself into everyone’s business and then acts like her feelings were hurt when someone didn’t take her advice.
Jacqueline, Ashlee and Jac’s mother are all emotionally stunted. Fact.
I agree. Jacqueline is the kind of person who can’t see the forest for the trees. She focuseson petty things that affect her (uh or generally not, since she is a busybody). She’s referenced Ashlee being hurt by the divorcea few times, but not how she’s been affected by being rejected by the Manzos. Same with Teresa–no sympathy for the serious problems in Teresa’s life at all, but makinga federal case over every little petty thing Teresa does. Self-centered and unempathetic to a scary extent. I’m sure she did some messedup things to Dina, but no, she is perfect and Dina is all to blame for their problems.
That’s right…Jacqueline claims that Dina was jealous of her and Chris…copycat much??? *LOL*
And Jacs crying and saying “I don’t want her to blame meeeeeee”. Hahaha. That’s ur right as a parent… To b blamed by ur kid… Haha. If the spanx fits….
Patticakes – I just watched that cooking segment with KL and K and I came away with a completely different take on it. I thought Teresa did remarkably well. I am biased in FAVOR of her at this point, no doubt, but I’ve gotten used to her not being able to articulate herself very well – and that’s what I was expecting. But I think she really delivered. I think she came off as knowledgeable, fluid and confident.
Maybe you should re-read my post. The intention was to pay close attention to KLG and Hoda’s reaction…..and while I definitely respect your take on it….I stand by my own. IMO…Tre can hardly catch a break and it’s sad.
Can you post a link for that?
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/47445114
I agree…I thought she did well too. KL and Hoda rushed her a bit at the end, but I attribute that to time constraints. They both complimented her chicken numerous times. The best part was when KL asked if the other housewives liked her book, Teresa said well, you’d have to ask them. Then KL said, oh you know they’re jealous!!
Yes Teresa has gotten way better since being on Celebrity Apprentice!
Does anyone hold Treasa and Joe Gu responsible for allowing their kids to be filmed for a fee. They are getting paid to be reality TV personalities. And from what I have heard, Gia and Milania get paid more than any of the other kids on the show because they are so adorable and entertaining. Treasa’s lawyers negotiated their increases because Andy Cloves them and features them so much in is segments.
The children don’t get paid for being filmed. They have to be 18 and older to be paid. They film for a certain amount of hours and if the kids get paid, it’s a violation against child labor laws.
Nichole, it’s the other way around, if they don’t get paid it’s a violation. This applies to all child stars who are under 18. They have to get paid and their funds have to be set up in a fudiciary account so that the parents don’t take alll the moeny. They actually should get paid, if they are being filmed and on the show. They should get paid well especially if we tune in to watch them. But, if the parents don’t want anyone making comments about the kids, simple fix…don’t put them under contract.
Or if parents don’t want anyone talking about their kids, simple fix-expect adults to act like adults and like decent human beings. What kind of lunatic bullies kids?
I’m just tossing this “out there”:
Actually, child labor laws vary from state to state. For example, California’s Coogan Law adapted the trust agreement for kids’ earnings (CA says the kids own all of their earnings) while New Jersey didn’t duplicate that provision. In NJ, all earnings from child performers belong to head of household. None of this matters or applies to the NJ minors because Reality TV is a whole different creature; production, etc. are generally independents and not unionized, and while they’re still supposed to pull permits for kids under 16 in NJ, the state itself isn’t clear on whether or not Reality TV kids need them! Sirens Media didn’t pull permits for the NJ kids — and it’s not even clear that they needed to do so!
Bravo’s stance is that the kids are peripherals to their mothers — and that the show is really about the housewives. If the kids aren’t members of actor guilds, they have to rely on state law for protection — and when the state law isn’t clear…!! If the kids are compensated in any way, I’d think it’s negotiated through their mothers’ contracts because they’re not technically child actors/employees of Bravo or Sirens.
Calzoned… Thank u…
They’re not child actors. They don’t get paid. It’s already been said and there were articles about it. The kids compensation is added in to Teresa’s pay. If she gets paid 200,000 (just an example) per episode, that’s for her, her husband and her kids appearances.
The only ones who actually get a paycheck from Bravo are the Manzo kids and Ashlee.
Do you really think the reality children from Dance moms or Tot’s and whatever the show is are not compensated. lol. Of course, otherwise, their fame, money thirsty moms would not have them on the show. Do you think Kate Gosslin’s kids were compenstated for appearing on the Reality Show, yes of course. Now, yes the compensation may be included in the parents contracts but, none the less, it’s compensation for them being on. If they say no, I don’t want my kids filmed (like Camile form BH) then, the compensation is less. Just like if I pay you to clean my house (I just went over a new contract with may maid service so thisi is fresh in my mind), if you do a basic cleaing your fee is less than if you also clean my window, and a little more if you treat my leather, a little more if you do my laundry, a little more if you wax my floors, (is that 4 kids yet?). I think the kids should be paid but, we all know the drama that comes with these reality TV shows or just the pressure of growing up in the public eye. Parents hold some responsibility for putting their children on national TV.
Ah NO. Whatever ppl might think about ANY child or even young adult being on these kinds of shows, they’re on there, so why shouldn’t they get paid? Bravo pays the Manzo ” kids” for their services, why not get some $$ for the Giudice girls?? Plus, no matter what their current financial woes are NOW, does anyone doubt Teresa and Joe Giudice will happily give their girls $$ for college, weddings, cars etc when they’re older? IOW, Does anyone believe they’d really take advantage of their girls financially and swipe all the money for themselves?
Right. So once again, Teresa is evil for having her underage kids on the show, but the Gorgas, Wakiles, Jacqueline are fine? Thanks for clearing that up, I was afraid people were beating up on Teresa for no reason.
Don’t feed this troll-
I rarely feed the trolls……free kroy, NO SOUP FOR YOU
I rarely toss bones to female dogs. No bones for you bitches today! #come_for_me_I’m_comming_for_you
If they start in on the kids, as this clip seems to indicate, I would not be surprised if T and Joe put the brakes on filming the kids for S5. I agree that they are primarily responsible if things get bad like they did with Ashley. I am still shocked that Jac allowed that to go on for as long as she did. She had a bratty teen on her hands (not a big deal) and she allowed her drama to play out on TV – setting her up for ridicule.
The kids don’t get paid…
Hey any legal eagles on this site? Does Bravo have the right to censor our comments even though they don’t contain any offensive content or foul language?
Good luck getting someone to answer that. There used to be someone on SH (a poster) that answered legal questions.
If anyone does respond how about you school us on the laws about Abuse and Bullying of a Minor Child by adults and Bravo. Can they all be sued for their behavior?
Who was the SH poster?
JanShe, the laws are murky here. A couple of years ago, the LA Times did an article on the grey areas involving children on Reality TV and child labor laws.NJ prohibits kids from any environment in the entertainment field that’s dangerous to “life, limb, health or morals”, but the state of NJ couldn’t say whether or not the RHNJ was subject to its child labor laws!
@Calzoned – Sounds like a lawsuit might/could be legit. Wonder if Tre looked into it.
@Anna – I don’t recall who it was, it was to long ago.
I very rarely visit that site anymore. I prefer this site.
It’s Bravo’s site. They pay for the bandwidth, they can do whatever they want.
jerseygirl, the short answer is, yes. Bravo owns the site and servers and as such, they call the shots. Posting to their site is an extended privilege — not a right. I copied this from their Rules:
“Postings do not reflect the views of Bravo, and Bravo does not have any obligation to monitor, edit or screen any Postings, but may do so in its sole discretion. “
Yes, Bravo has every right to “censor” their product. By this I mean they can decide whose comments get posted and whose do not.
The protections (freedom of speech) provided by the U.S. Constitution were instituted to prevent the government’s censorship of private citizens. Private companies can set their own rules – as it has to be in a capitalist society.
I hate Caroline. She is so rude, mean and has absolutely no class whatsoever. She is a boring know it all that knows nothing or she would not behave like the bully that she is, especially at her age. If I behaved like her, my mother would kick me. That stupid scowl on her droooop nose face is so disgusting..
Does anyone know if they are all signed for season 5?
What will get Bravo’s attention is if all of us stop watching every week. I haven’t watched yet, but do like to come on the blog sites with the hope that these bullies will finally be brought down. As long as people are watching, Bravo gets great ratings, great sponsorship and that’s all they care about.
there’s a petition you can sign on petitionbuzz.
Thanks! I signed it!
I can understand how upset Tre got with Jaq over reading her daughter a book, BUT I do not think Gia’s behavior was at all appropriate. Instead of coddling her what she should have done was told her to quit acting like a baby and stop being disrespectful and pulled Jaq to the side and told her that she didn’t feel that was appropriate and to not do that again. I think she needs to take a break from reality tv and book tours etc… and raise her children. There is a HUGE difference in the way the older 2 act and Milania acts, haven’t seen anything yet with the youngest. That kid is cute but in about 10 more years when she is still acting like that it won’t be cute anymore. It will be just plain disrespectful. Even Gia has made remarks about how Tre is not at home much anymore. I know she is trying to maker her $$$ but come on girl your family needs you too. And I do not like her husband. I think he is really rude to her and she still sticks by his side. Good for her but he needs to grow up!
an ADULT cheats at a game, the other ADULTS give him a pass on it. A CHILD reacts and calls him on it and the CHILD is reprimanded???? That’s some sick kind of justice there, good for Teresa for showing her daughter love when she most needed it. The other adults didn’t say anything to him because it was just a game and they didn’t want to start any drama with him (although they have no problem starting it with Teresa).It was easier to blame the kid for overreacting. Teresa’s hug showed her daughter that no matter how unfair life or other people may be, she can always count on her mother for support.
I disagree about Gia. She was NOT behaving badly. In fact, she was the only one who played the game honestly. Joey cheated and got called out on it and then denied cheating. Jacqueline basically called Gia a liar and a poor sport. Her reaction was normal. What wasn’t normal was the fact that Jacqueline, a grown adult with kids, reprimanded Gia for stating the truth.
ITA , hear, hear.
CAROLINE AND JAQUELINE ARE FAT FUCKIN BITCH ASS HOES…THAT’S RIGHT I “WENT THERE” as YOU all say..and what I say is….KISS MY MOTHA FUCKIN ASS IF YOU DON’T LIKE MY ORION BITCHES…
So here it is..
I believe Gia was upset at the fact Teresa and her brother are not getting along and that she was taking it out on the fact the her uncle cheated or what ever. It had nothing to do with the game. Kids are very bright and the older they get the more
they are listening when you think they aren’t. FUCK THEM HOES AND THEIR BOOK ON HOW TO BEHAVE OR PARENTAL ADVICE. GOOD FOR YOU TERESA FOR GIVING YOUR DAUGHTER LOVE WHEN SHE MOST NEEDED IT AND NOT REPREMAND HER FOR ACTING OUT.
AS FOR THE FAT ASS RED HEADED BITCH WHO THINKS SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING ON PARENTING….
Maybe you should love on your daughter and tell her she is beautiful everyday..not just the days she is looking “healthy” as YOU put it. If anyone ever disrespected my daughter like that .. how they were passing around someone’s cell phone with a girls picture on it AND commenting how she was “hot” which in my opinion was terribly rude. Especially the way her boyfriend and father didn’t d efend her.
AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE MY OPINION…WELL…THAT’S YOUR FUCKIN PROBLEM…
TEAM TERESA ALL THE WAY BITCHES
SUCK IT DRUNK ASS TWITTER HOE JAQUELINE..SNOBBY BITCH ASS “THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL PARENT” CAROLINE…AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST …YOU POLL TWIRLIN “PRETEND TO BARTEND” SLUT!
**so badly wanted to use the “C” word there..but I just couldn’t…
Well that’s all I got to say about that.
Love you TERESA..you go girl
@Free Kroy, Contrary to what you think, Kate Gosselin’s kids were never “paid.” The checks they received were cut to Kate and/or Jon. They got 250,000 dollars per episode which INCLUDED the “pay” for their kids. The kids don’t get individual checks written out to them. I don’t know about other reality shows, but what I do know is that NONE of the housewives kids who are minors get paid. Whatever money they make, it’s included in the housewives paychecks. Fact. Try google-ing things before you try to state your opinions as though they’re facts.
