Teresa Giudice Opens Up About Joe’s Phone Call; Says She Is Hurt

RHONJ star Teresa Giudice took to her blog to open about the mysterious phone call Joe Giudice had. Teresa explains she is very hurt and says she is going to stay strong and get through this. Teresa also makes it clear that the toast wasn’t meant to upset Kathy.

“From flipping a table to giving birth to going through bankruptcy to a million other things, I’ve done a lot and seen a lot from my family and friends on camera over the last few years. I thought nothing could surprise me anymore. And then I got the call. ??A magazine called me two weeks ago to ask me about my reaction to the new episode they just received. I hadn’t seen it, so I had no idea what they were talking about. Once I got a copy and watched it, I was sick. I felt like I’d been kicked in the stomach. It has not been a good couple of weeks.??Of course I begged Bravo not to air it, but when you sign up for a TV show, you sign up to show everything, warts and all. The good and the bad. Kind of like that other promise: for better or for worse. Welcome to the “worse.”

I can’t make any excuses for what Joe said to me. He doesn’t talk like that to me at home, he’s never called me that name before, and he doesn’t remember saying it. But it’s not right. It hurt my feelings, and it was horrible to watch played out on national TV.??Why did he say it? I have no idea. I do know we were in the wine capital of America drinking heavily… Alcohol + camera = not a good idea. But believe me, if he talked to me like that regularly, we would not be together. I don’t know why the camera (and alcohol) brings out the worst in him… it just does. Imagine being filmed all the time during the most stressful parts of your life. Last year was not an easy year for either of us for a lot of reasons: finances, family, people we thought were our friends…??We were on an 8-day trip in close quarters with people Joe didn’t really want to be with. Eight days of nonstop filming is a long, long time. He did have problems with his work back home, and we left our kids behind in a hurricane. I guess it made for the perfect storm in more ways than one. But no matter what the circumstances were, it’s not OK that he talked to me like that. It’s not OK for our relationship, it’s not OK as an example for our daughters, it’s not how I want to be spoken to or will be spoken to by anyone.??Joe does feel terrible, and he’s apologized to me and all of our friends. We all have a bad side, but not all of us are lucky enough to have it broadcast around the world. Being on TV is like being in front of the worst mirror ever sometimes. Hopefully you learn from it and try to be a better person.

And we’re both trying. I don’t think anyone on TV doesn’t watch themselves and cringe at what they thought would be a funny joke at the time that just comes out sounding terrible or awkward. I know I do. But you also can’t over analyze it or you’ll go crazy or start faking your way through everything. I would rather be imperfect than fake. Or crazy for that matter. But, I’m not going to lie, it does hurt.??My husband disrespecting me on camera happened a year ago, but I just found out about it, and I’m trying to process it. I seem to always be the last to find out things, huh? People’s pasts keep coming out and they admit their dirty deeds to me, like my own family contacting Danielle to try and “take me down,” but I only find out about it months or years later. They say they’re sorry, they’re not that person now, and what can I do? I forgive them. I forgave my brother and Melissa, and I can forgive Joe. But I’m not stupid. It does make me wary, it does make it hard to trust the people I love.??But that’s how it is in grown-up life. It’s not a fairy tale. Everyone I know has their own share of heartbreak. And to be honest, guys in Jersey aren’t the most refined in the world. I look around me and I see other guys treating their women the same as Joe treated me and worse. I don’t like it; I don’t think any woman does. It’s weird that we put up with it when we’re so strong and smart in so many other ways… But I’m sure it’s the same with guys in a lot of places.??They’re different animals. They are animals. They think it’s funny to show everyone their buttholes. Women aren’t like this. We have our own kind of ugly that men don’t understand. But we have to work it out and live together, don’t we? I don’t really want a guy that acts like a woman. I’d rather not have Joe talk to me like a perfect gentlemen and go to his mistress’ apartment every night either.

So I guess you have to decide what you can take and what will break you. I’m pretty strong and I have to be: I’m the mom of four little girls. The truth is Joe and I are happy together now. He’s a great dad and a great husband and we still really like each other. He’s not perfect, I’m not perfect, but you put up with each other’s faults for the good of the whole. Should I break up my family and leave him because he called me an ugly name a year ago? My pride wants to of course, but I don’t think that’s the right or responsible thing to do.??People don’t stay married for decades without bumps in the road. So this is a pretty big bump, but I’m hanging on. Thank you all for hanging on with me!??What else was in the episode that I need to talk about? Caroline’s birthday dinner was fabulous. Of course I didn’t mean to “snub” Kathy in my toast! For goodness sake! I thanked our hosts, the birthday girl, and mentioned how glad I was that I was working things out with my brother. I have wonderful things I could have said about everyone at the table — how much I love Vito’s bear tattoo, how Lauren just warms my heart every time I see her happy little face — but that would be kind of ridiculous and long. I had patched things up with Kathy already at our lunch, but this trip was the start of fixing things with my brother and Melissa. If anything, Kathy should be happy for me and Joey. If Rosie was sitting at the table and they toasted each other after a rough patch, I’d be happy for her and not try and make it all about me… I’m sorry, but it just didn’t make sense to toast Kathy or Richie, because then I would have had to also toast Albie and Chris and Greg and Lauren and Vito and the people who owned the winery and the camera guys and my agent…??I actually don’t even have an agent. Well I do have a literary agent for my books, but that’s it. No PR person either. Bravo TV is my PR.

I’m on a show for them and I have to promote it. Why the other people on my cast keep bringing up me doing magazines and press like it’s a bad thing is crazy to me. We do whatever press we need to do to support the show. It’s not my fault I get picked to be on so many covers. And believe me, the press I have to do is enough. I don’t have any time or desire to call blogs or be “inside sources” for magazines hoping to suck up to them. I don’t need any more attention, thank you, thank you very much!”

 

I’m glad Teresa acknowledged what Joe did was wrong. Looks like Teresa will fight for her marriage no matter what the circumstances are. Thoughts on what T had to say?!

    i’m sorry but how can you not relate to this? it’s so real. we have all been in relationships where sometimes we may put up with certain things that didnt necessarily fit our perfect description of the person we want to be with, but people aren’t perfect, they make mistakes, and if T can look at the bigger picture and decide that she and her girls are happier with him than without then let her live!

    i loved this sentence.. “It’s weird that we put up with it when we’re so strong and smart in so many other ways” – i’ve definitely been there. no matter which way you cut it, T always comes off honest and real to me.

    • kate says:

      whatever she is minimizing everything negative about herself & Joe as usual. Of course she has to say some “honest” things or everyone (even you sycophants) would put her on blast. my husband has NEVER spoken to me like that and it was SO obvious that was a female on the phone!
      she was rude to Kathy to exclude her from the toast plain & simple – she grabs Kathy’s face in the next episode! how dare she! I am sure she will find a way to “explain & minimize” that as well.
      & how about a shout our & RIP to Lynn Hundson who passed away suddenly – NOW there is a site I love & will miss her dearly!

      • Bailey says:

        ^^^^This! I totally agree. I felt very, very sorry for Teresa as I read her blog. She doesn’t mention the phone call at all — I think because she couldn’t figure out an excuse for it. And Joe’s behavior was UNFORGIVABLE and disgusting!

        • rukidding? says:

          are both and bailey and kate blind? this was the most honest blog any housewives has written. the blog was all about the infamous call and she did say it was wrong and never okay. did you two not see that or just chose to ignore it because melissa’s forehead was in the way? the fact of the matter is. that was a year ago and she barely found out about it. she’s choosen to forgive her husband, the father of her children and the only person on the show that defends her. if she wants to stay in a marriage to a man that she’s known since a teenager then let her. it’s her business and she’s the only one that has to put up with him.

          i don’t buy that crap that your husband has never spoken to you that way kate. if he’s not saying in front of you then he’s saying it behind your back. personally, i wouldn’t forgive joe and i would kick his behind to the curb. now because of the “call” i am even more suspicious. maybe it explains why he always pushes teresa away when she tries to kiss and hug him. always thought that was weird.

          • Lisa says:

            My heart breaks for her I have been giving Joe a pass no more loose the looser. I left my ex cheating ass with alot less them she has. He can still be a father old fashion Italian so am I teach your children cheating is unacceptable the man needs to grow up stop stomping his feet stop trying to drive without a license and put up with the bs because your wife is the money machine

          • Good Grief says:

            I think it’s bs for you to say Kate’s husband is saying things “behind her back”. There are couples out there who although may not be perfect, they RESPECT their partner. Joe (through this and SEVERAL other actions) has shown he has no respect for Teresa.

        • reddvette says:

          Teresa didn’t have to mention the phone call, when everyone know that the important part oof that was the things Joe said about her. Those ar are the things that she has been asked about and what she felt she needed to address. Teresa also addressed that she was not trying to hurt Kathy’s feelings by not calling her name during her toast. Kathy and Caroline ever looking for a complaint. Kathy and Sleazy need a storyline.

          • hotsummerday says:

            Teresa addressed this as much as she needed to. She’s not going to go into detail and create a feeding frenzy for the people who hate her.

            Caroline doesn’t address anything in her blogs at all. Maybe Kate should focus on that.

          • teresa nonforehead says:

            The important part was what her fat a$$ husband said about her?? Oh really?? I would think that any woman who’s husband was on the phone with another woman while he is talking all grades of sh*t about the wife would be to address who the h*ll he is talking to!! Tre fans can say what they want but there is something very fishy about the whole dang thing, its a reality show it took place while they were filming and that’s the way it goes!! If it was any other cast members all the Tre fans would want the dirt to and you know you would, period!!

        • teresa nonforehead says:

          I knew she would make up some crazy excuse for his name calling of her and even for who ever he was talking to on the phone but I had know idea she’d not mention anything about the caller. Does she genuinely believe that the viewers will just dismiss this the way she is? I agree with you Bailey,I don’t think she could come up with any excuses to fit the crime. I guess she figures, hey if I don’t mention it maybe it’ll just go away or maybe no one else will notice!! DELUSIONAL, much!!

          • rukidding? says:

            she doesn’t need to address anything. i’m surprised she even addressed the namecalling. the rest of the housewives have done the same thing. nobody has talked about who is on that phone. everyone wants to know even the teresa fans. the fact is teresa doesn’t have to talk about that part. would you want to if you were in her shoes? that is embarrassing. maybe she knows, maybe she doesn’t. it just give anyone the right to feel entitled to know her business.

        • That was Teresa’s blog? I mean she wrote it? Most of it sounded like an English scholar, then one paragraph by Tre. PLEASE – she did not write that,

          • teresa says:

            True!! Tre doesn’t write her blogs it’s very obvious! I thinks its because her forehead is nonexistent!! lmao, I would have never made that comment, but I’ve heard so many others speak of how high Mels forehead is, I couldn’t help myself!!

          • Tobi says:

            @ teresa How do you know she doesn’t write her blogs?? What evidence do you have? T has made a public statement and explanation (via twitter) that her blog are written by her so what evidence do you have to disprove that?

          • rukidding? says:

            yeah lol i see people are still using that excuse that she’s isn’t writing her blogs. it’s not hard to type words on a computer. if you truly believe that she doesn’t write her own blogs then why do you care so much about it?

          • Lee Bassett says:

            Very true. Any time you compare her blogs to how she speaks on the show even in the interviews it’s obvious at least someone is rewording or telling her what she should write.

        • Jennifer says:

          I agree oth Kate and Bailey are blind. They will not even admit any statement which Teresa made is genuine.

          Additionally, there was not indication it was a woman. Where did they get that idea.

        • Bionic says:

          DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ??????????? Where exactly did she deny anything your implying? Please delight us.

      • Lauren T says:

        If Kathy was my cousin i would have knocked her out by now. Same with her nasty ass husband.

        • karen says:

          I agree Lauren

        • bbc says:

          Teresa won’t deal with her own “nasty ass husband”, why should she attack her cousin’s husband who has done nothing to her?

          • Lee says:

            Rich and Joe Gorga may treat their wives better, but I find their behavior at the winery childish. I don’t consider these men refined.

          • Mego the Lying stripper says:

            Done nothing to her? he has been making inappropriate comments to her and about her since she was seventeen years old. Imagine if some man Lauren’s cousin married had been doing this to her. he would be buried in a shallow grave somewhere. Ritchie says horrible things about Teresa, he is a filthy pig who should not be allowed in the company of adults, he acts like a girl, and he is a stupid gas jockey. Mr. Gorga should have kicked his ass 15 years ago.

          • Jennifer says:

            Richie is constantly slam,ing Terrsa. Every talking head in negative towards her. Please! I would have tossed him on the fire, if he were my cousin for his statements.

      • michers says:

        Kate, would you like her head on a platter, her firstborn? her blood? seriously, whats is the problem? She is keeping it real, to the point, and open but not a novel like drunkard! Its never enough for people who do not like her.. Its not fake its real and she has real issues and addresses them publicly as tactfully as she can. Kathy is a baby for whining about the toast, and its only because Caro egged her on. Such a shame and so childish! If Caro never would have acted like that, Kathy would have been fine. Looks to me like Jac’s little jab about it not being about T, actually should be used for Kathy in that toast!!! Kathy does not care about anyone but herself trying to get camera time and some relevance. Who cares about Kathy’s face next week? After everything they have done and said, they are lucky!!!!!! Its her “family”, she wasn’t being violent or trying to hurt her.

        • LJ says:

          Michers I read on another blog a poster say that Kate always goes against public opinion on every blog just to upset everyone and get a reaction. I’ve seen her do it on RHOOC and RHONY blogs. She’s clearly very bored in her life! I think she likes the reaction??? I dont know but her and Sam the Man are quite the pair. Very similar!

          • michers says:

            Yes LJ, apparently they are.

          • Dee says:

            public opinion???? Are you high??? The majority of centered, sane and logical thinking people know Tre is a narcissist beast who has deep emotional issues. I guess u can identify with that…duh

          • Kathy says:

            public opinion???? Are you high??? The majority of centered, sane and logical thinking people know Tre is a narcissist beast who has deep emotional issues. I guess u can identify with that…duh

          • FabulousTNHousewife says:

            Dee, Kathy, are you two twins?! You both posted the EXACT same comment. How could that possibly be?? #moron

        • Sugarlump says:

          Melissa and especially Kathy at this point are so concerned about pleasing Caroline. It must make her feel SO important because they take what she says to heart and jump when she says jump. It just adds to her feelings of self-importance. You can practically see her chest puff up when they pant at every word she says. They both need to grow a pair and think for themselves. I believe the word I’m looking for is “trifling”. Caroline is like a middle schooler in the way she tries to control the friendships of the women. I’m tired of her and her sullen daughter. They both walk around like they have huge sticks up their asses. Caroline says she wants to avoid the drama yet she thrives on it. She’s like a little puppeteer. All it would take would be for all of the other women (and not just Teresa) to tell her to go scratch and she’d become irrelevant. Well, she’s already irrelevant in my book. And I really used to like her! Does she ever freaking laugh anymore? Misery loves company and that’s why she stirs the pot, to keep the misery flowing. I could give a damn about her menopause. Get some damn estrogen and get over yourself. You’d think she was the only person to ever go through the change! I’m tired of hearing about that, her adult “children” and Caface, which is just dumb. People that put themselves on pedestals are just prime candidates for others to push down and damn it, I’m ready for that to happen!

          • JanieG says:

            Never liked Caroline – never will – she is a critical, fault-finder who will never be satisfied until you are crushed once she dislikes you. She went after Danielle and now Teresa….her own sister doesn’t talk to her….and she thinks she is much better than she is. Oh, yes, her time is coming as what goes around comes around. Hope to never see her or hear her voice again after this season!

        • socalsoccer says:

          I loved how honest Teresa was in talking about Joe’s treatment of her. I feel soooo badly for her and the humiliation she must have felt after watching the episode. I hope she gave Joe hell; he should be kissing her ass daily. I could give a shit about the rest of people on the vacation.

          • bbc says:

            It’s so clear that Teresa has KNOWN her husband is cheating and has known for some time. I think she’s lying about suddenly finding out.

            She used Gia’s love as a threat against Joe. She’s been questioning him about his night time activities that she’s not a part of. She follows him when he’s on the phone and then just HAS to have sex with him in public.

            She’s running every trick she knows, constant vulgar language and any cavity any time sex. She’s been trying to send messages to Joe’s paramours for a long time it seems — trying to convince everyone that the man can’t keep his hands off of her. We’ve never seen that, only heard HER version of that.

            The “sources” who said that Joe was disgusted by her and didn’t want to touch her weren’t off the mark. The man rebukes her advances at every turn. I can’t believe the woman who attacks her SIL and questions if she was a “good girl” in her past is sitting in front of her brother and SIL being vulgar just to try to get her husband to smile in a freakin’ picture. Gross. Disgusting, but typical of the Giudices.

          • Jennifer says:

            BBC,

            That phone call indicates absolutely nothing that relates to a mistress. The “hi baby” was not there as the tabloids were trying to say. You do not have a leg to stand on. I am sorry, but your factual basis is meritless.

      • Honnie Badger says:

        OMG, that is so sad! RIP, Lynn.

      • Samantha says:

        Very sad. RIP Lynn.

      • hotsummerday says:

        Teresa didn’t have to include Kathy or anybody else in her toast. It’s CAROPIG who made it an issue. If she didn’t like it, she should have toasted Kathy herself.

        • JanieG says:

          I can’t tell you how much I hate it when someone sits and talks against someone who is sitting within hearing distance, like Carolyn and her nasty crew talking at the same table about Teresa’s toast,&Kathy’s beaming face shows she has finally reached her goal: Caroline’s little soldier — have some guts and say it to Teresa’s face or just shut up!

      • bbc says:

        She would NEVER touch Kathy is Rosie was around. When Rosie told her to cut the crap out, she just sat there, no confrontation. WHat a sleaze Teresa is. No wonder she’s attracted to Joe.

      • Jess says:

        Thank goodness someone else feels the way I do. I see all these post about how great honest and above everyone is. :-p whatever! I see right through her. She IS making excuses for joe just like she makes excuses for herself. And do you guys really think she writes her own words ummm no. She’s a vengeful and malicious person who PRETENDS to have her stuff together. Her success isn’t because shes the best cook or because she’s the best out of the whole crew. It’s because bravo has made her the most marketable. she’s like the snooky of the housewives. No actual talent she’s just in the right place at the right time.

        • teresa veryloooow forehead says:

          ITA Jess, I enjoy reading this blog but if you are not a Tre fan you don’t feel welcome and you’ll surely hear about how wrong you are, that’s why I continue to read and comment. Its a reality show!! I’m not a Tre fan but I enjoy the show and she is very entertaining and so are the other cast members, to me. The show is not all about Tre it is rhonj!!

        • Tobi says:

          How has Bravo made her the most markerable? All the housewives have the same platform just some people have the “X-Factor” and some don’t. Don’t hate because T has it. Hate is so ugly!

        • Mego the Lying stripper says:

          Yeah, Bravo treats her like a queen. Not.

        • hotsummerday says:

          Teresa’s success is due to the fact that people like her, and she puts out good products. Her cookbooks are excellent. Good, healthy recipes that are quick and easy to make.

          And the other women on the show are also “in the right place at the right time,” but they haven’t been able to market any successful products, so it takes more than that. None of them were asked to be on The Apprentice.

          The rest of the women are boring. Kathy and Jac are dim. They can’t go out and promote anything. Melissa only cares about performing like a stripper on stage while “singing.” She has what she wants now.

          And the Clown persists in the delusion that she is a wise woman who needs to tell the rest of us how to live. In realtiy, she is an envious, bitter, ignorant hag whose grown children act like idiots. She should be taking advice, not giving it.

          • Lee Bassett says:

            The Apprentice wanted someone on their show that was the epitome of the moronic Jersey girl type to make fun of…my guess is Snooki was busy. Tre came off as stupid on that show as she does on RHONJ.

      • Say What?? says:

        @Kate its fitting that you loved Lyn Hudson site. Im not surprised. She was a mean, nasty bully who stole stories from other bloggers, harrassed people who didnt agree with her and crossed the line with many people. She called peoples place of work, charity, place of business! She destroyed one posters career by attacking the ladies employer.. She went after peoples children. Got involved in posters custody battles and divorces. She did background checks on people and spewed their info, used it to hurt people.

        Further more, she would write favorable stories about people if they kissed her ass. She would destroy the reality stars who didnt give her dirt, leaked stories etc.. She was being fed stories and lies and doing the dirty work for Jac Laurita from day 1. Melissa and her sisters, Simon and Alex and of course Bethany… until Bethenny figured out how INSANE she was.

        Her site was a HATE site.. and full of people who were just as insane as she was. Pages and pages of comments about who had hemoroids, whos cat was ill, whos cat passed away, whos birthday it was, whos mom was sick, whos kids were being bad, recipe swaps, divorce help, AA meetings..
        Birds of a feather Kate. You fit right in!

        I feel sorry for Lynn Hudsons husband and family and may she RIP..

        You get back what you put into the world. You should take note of this tragedy.

        • cats-eye says:

          Oh lynn from chicago,hated her!

          • Mego the Lying stripper says:

            I personally looked at her blog and found her to be biased, and an ass-kisser.

        • Capile says:

          Yeah, I’m very sorry she died but she was absolutely horrible. I doubt being so vicious and obsessive and eaten up with hate was good for her health, either.

        • Samantha says:

          Lynn was one of the first reality bloggers (if not THE first) to establish an uncensored forum for viewers, in direct reaction to the censorship of the Bravo-sponsored forums. That it became so immensely popular is due exclusively to her hard work and commitment. She deserves credit and respect for that.

          • LJ says:

            I dont even know who this lady is??? Very sorry for her and her family. But after reading Saywhats post Im glad I didnt read her blog! Thats completely inappropriate of a blogger. But if she was the first blogger to develop the unsensored forum I will give her credit and respect. My issue is when people start attacking small children or wishing deaths on these people. Basicaly everything Saywhat just describe her blogs to be.

          • Samantha says:

            It’s been established to my satisfaction that nothing Say What has to say about anything has any credibility whatsoever. The number of rumors he/she has started (or egged on) that have been proven to be baseless and without merit, on this site alone, are endless.

          • Seven says:

            It’s actually due exclusively to the fact that there are a huge number of seriously, scarily deranged people on the Internet. Lynn Hudson didn’t invent the Internet, and there were actually small cells here and there around the world managing to trade free information even before she courageously brought her silly hate blog to free society from Bravo’s tyrannical reign of terror. I don’t want to minimize her accomplishment in creating a forum where loons could encourage each other to stalk Bravolebrities and each other, but I’m pretty sure sooner or later someone else would have struck a blow against the Bravo Evil Empire by signing up for a free wordpress or blogspot forum. Freedom will always triumph over adversity! Reality show fans will not be silenced!

          • Jennifer says:

            Samantha you r a toad and we all remember your pedophilic posts to Gia a minor child in May. You have no credibility here.

            As for Lynn, she was a nice lady and do not try to grand stand on her memory because you will regret it. You were never a regular because if you were then you knew on Lynn’s site it was over 80% pro- Teresa responses. Even Lynn stopped pushing Melissa over a year ago.

            I will go blog by blog with you because you not defile a woman’s memory. Lynn was bias, sure all bloggers are bias, but she would never approve of you. Your posts sickened her about Gia in May.

          • Bionic says:

            Maybe “Credit” for having all the free time in the world to destroy other people who she didn’t even know. Respect? Absolutely not. fack her. May she roast in hell.

            Sorry. That’s where BAD people go to, no?

            Of course it had to be Samantha to come out with this. You’re from the same camp of people like Lynn.

          • rukidding? says:

            sam the man, if you love it so much then why on earth do you come here everyday??? everyday is the same thing with you. apparently lyn was a horrible person and a bully so i get why you looked up to her. bullies always flock together.

        • socalsoccer says:

          Say What?? I had never heard of this person; was she really that awful? Did anyone sue her for her behavior?

          • Say What?? says:

            Many people wrote about it. The lady who blogs for Jewish Journal did a blog last year calling her out and showing all the bad horrible things she did to people. She has deleted the blog in lighjt of recent events. I think that was very kind of her. I truely do feel bad for Lynn and her family. But hate is a horrible emotion to carry around and keep up with on a daily basis.

            I think its in poor taste of me to link this but… here is a taste of it..

            https://ihatebethennyfrankel.wordpress.com/2011/11/13/the-appauling-behavior-of-lynn-hudson-part-2/

            In addition to all this she also would encourage her fans to attack people on twitter. Humiliate them, degrade them. Jac Laurita gave her personal and private information after season one on project lady bug.. Lyn hudson called Dinas private phone, had her followers call.. she called the charity, the state and blasted her all over the internet. This was the cause of the Caroline – Dina fued!
            I could say much more but i really think im pushing the limits of karma. So you should be able to find the info all over the internet.

            Life is too short to put out this type of negative energy into the world everyday. I mostly feel sorry for her family. She wasted so much of her life chasing fame through reality stars that theres no doubt her own family had to have suffered.

            Lyn also scammed her own fans. She sold them Lyn Hudson keychains for $50… she also begged them to donate money so she could do some vblog.. that is FREE!

            I’m probably going straight to hell for this.

        • Jennifer says:

          Lynnis dead and it is very sad. I don’t think her life should be a topic of conversation.

          Additionally, some of the people here supporting Lynn must not be a regular. I know one who is and she is fair minded, but the others I do not know because Lynn was changing her mind a lot on Teresa. She posted fewer negative blogs on her. Further, Lynn’s readership was over 80% pro-Teresa. I have followed Lynn since 2009 with “I Hate Jill Zarin” so I know of what I speak.

        • Bionic says:

          RIP and my condolences to her family that are the ones that stay behind hurting.

          THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS THOUGH!

          Lynn had NO LIFE. Ironically now it has really ended. She took this whole “reality show” stalker to the next level and whoever liked her or went along with her shenanigans is another sociopath, demented devil with no life. She was everything but a “Good person”. Fack her. She ruined a lot of lives JUST FOR FUN because it was none of her business.

          • socalsoccer says:

            Wow, I am glad I never got involved in her blog. What was with the “I hate Bethany” blog?
            Sounds like karma came and got her.

          • Say What?? says:

            The person that wrote the I hate Bethenny blog. I dont think she actually hated Bethenny but was proving a point. Lynn would send her army of followers after anyone who questioned her or bethenny.. lol I never particpiated in any of these blogs. But i watched it all happen. Lynn and a few of her followers stalked Jill. They should have been arrested. For the life of me I dont underdstand why Jill did not pursue stalking charges against them. They came to her events, her place of business and much much more. Bobby actually mentioned the blog on one of last seasons episodes. Here is another link

            http://nyhousewives.blogspot.com/search?q=i+hate+jill

            It’s fitting that Samantha and Kate were fans of this blog. Birds of a feather should be careful who they try to discredit because the proof is there for all to see.

            Also, remember this blogger was friends with Jac, Melissa and her sisters. They wanted the same treatment for Teresa.

          • Samantha says:

            I watched it all happen, too, and you are 100% full of shit. The sites you use to back up most of your crap (see above) are run by either paranoid psychotics or misguided teenagers. Much like the more unstable members of Teresa’s Trolls.

            Anyone who is genuinely interested in Lynn Hudson can find out anything they need to know from legitimate online news sources. “Famewhorgas” and “I Hate Bethenny” are NOT two of them.

          • Say What?? says:

            The proof is there regardless if you like the source or NOT. They did stalk Jill, they do blackmail and bully housewives for stories, attention etc… they did go after people in their personal lives. Are you going to claim the lady from Jewish Journal is crazy too? Lyn and her cult followers attacked her, attacked her for being jewish and attacked the jewish journal and went after her CHILD.. All because she stood up against their bullying.

            Further more she stole peoples stories word for word and reprinted them as her own.. she stole ideas, photos and she stalked/harassed other bloggers. Nothing YOU say is credible..

            And btw.. Lyn claimed to be the first and you believed her.. She was not the first. There were MANY MANY other bloggers doing the same thing.

          • Bionic says:

            SaMANtha. STFU and you are no different than Lynn and like I said, I hope she roasts in hell. She was a bad person and hurt a lot of people WHO BY THE WAY were not displaying their lives due to their contract with Bravo.

            She took the time out of her precious life to look up posters personal information, displayed their addresses and phone numbers and even listed the names of their kids schools. Sent threats of how she was going to beat someone up blah blah blah…

            Her heart gave her what she deserved. It stopped working for her since she loaded it with darkness.

            F*CK HER. I feel sorry for her family. All of the sudden when people die they are a saint. F*CK THAT! You should be remembered for what you do and she did a lot of bad FOR NOTHING!

          • rukidding? says:

            thanks so much sam the man, for linking to the jewish journal. that really shows that the blogger from the jewish journal has more of a heart and kindness and compassion than lynn and her trolls every did. even though lynn attacked her and her son she still sent condolences out of respect for lynns family.

      • Lysel says:

        It’s really interesting to me that when Teresa makes the slightest bit of sense or is really honest in her blogs, the haters come out full force. Do they come out when the housewives they follow make themselves look like fools every single episode! Nope, just like the housewives they adore, they ignore their own bad behavior and try vainly to make reasoning people “read between the lines”. I notice that once again, Caroline doesn’t even address her stirring the pot, because as we all know she doesn’t! (sarcasm intended!) Kathy talks about how it’s of course never her fault…she’s St. Kathy..everyone says so, especially Greg who we all know is the pinnacle for morality and honesty…he gives out sainthoods all the time! I’m constantly amazed at the lack of insight of people who watch this show. They obviously read between lines because they can read the actual writing! Which says….Teresa didn’t do anything to really hurt them, she just became more popular and they couldn’t stand it. The end!

      • Bionic says:

        Last we ALL checked the only perfect person was Jesus Christ. You wouldn’t happen to be married to him, right? Does your husband’s sidechick agree with you?

        Stop being hypocrital and look at your our marriage. How many bumps have you overcome? and if you say none- 1. you are lying or 2. you have been married for 72 hrs…

    • maggie says:

      Women put up with a GREAT DEAL with husbands. I am a widow and my husband was very ill and was frequently not nice to anyone. It hurt me but I wouldn’t trade one minute of any of it because I loved him so so much and think and cry missing him every day. Leave Tre alone..she has been through hell…just keep the prayers flowing. And, PS my hubby was from NJ..

      • LJ says:

        Im so sorry to hear your loss Maggie! Both my father and husband are similar in their ways to Joe Giudice and I woulodnt trade them for the world. Teresa is as real as it gets. You dont see any of these other women addressing their issues. Instead they out on a front for the camera. Im w/ you maggie! Just leave T alone!

      • michers says:

        Sorry for your loss maggie, sending you a hug.

    • FREE KROY says:

      Yes BEEN there. Hopefully you OUT of there. I finally see a real side of Tre, not the fake it til you make it side. She is correct, all marriages have there ups and downs. However, Joe is clearly cheating (the whole made up conversation with his non-english speaking worker). No divorce, he needs to change and they need marriage counseling. The have had a tough year and it weighs heavy on everything in your life. They need help and Joe needs to stop the cheating!!!

    • bbc says:

      If I thought my husband was a cheater, I wouldn’t offer him ^^^^ sex, or offer to let him stick his thumb in ANY cavity. I wouldn’t beg him to have sex with me with other people around to prove he wants me. I wouldn’t behave like a desperate fool and then write a blog pretending to have pride — everything she’s done from day one on this show tells us she has not pride.

      She was JUST ON Watch What Happens Live a few weeks ago, trying to pretend that her marriage was perfect. She just released an article about her great marriage. Now it’s clear that people around her weren’t making it up, her husband can barely stand to touch her and now she has to pretend to be tough on him for cheating.

      No, I can’t relate to that.

      • Kelly says:

        Well you do not know then I have been in T’s shoes. You will do what it takes to keep your family together. Divorce is cruel to children I have been there. Staying together for the sake of the children is a good thing. I was divorced with twin girls. Not a fun life. Then met a man who loves the girls and we had another girl she is 16 and a jewel. Kids need both parents. I say do what it takes to stay together T.

        • Crystal says:

          Staying together for the sake of kids is not a good thing….I can’t believe people think that. If 2 people have a terrible relationship with eachother…that is not good or healthy for children. Cheating, degrading, yelling, fighting, hostility….none of that is good for children and people need to wise up to that.

          • Jarlath says:

            Yes, I can’t understand the mentality that one should stay in an unhealthy relationship because of the children. If anything, it will only hurt them more.

          • bbc says:

            Agreed. it’s never good for children to hear their mother being called a “trick”, “whore”, “re*ard”, etc by their own father. No mother should want her children to hear that and think it’s ok that women are verbally abused by the men they’ve married.

          • Jennifer says:

            BBC,

            There you go again with that BE of trick. You need to provide scenes and episode. You never provide it. You lack credibility. FYI, Joey says the same thing, plus he sexualized his wife like she were on a poll for other men.

          • Lee Bassett says:

  2. really! says:

    she didn’t really acknowledge what he did wrong but what he said to her. The inference of who he was talking to on the other end is just as bad as what he said.

    To her credit from her twitter, they’ve seem to move past the rough patch they were in. Hopefully this means he’s keeping it in his pants and worrying about preserving his family. He’s a Jerk for that. I fee sorry for her.

    • Noni says:

      I would of like to have her address who he was talking to, not just the fact that he called her names.

      • Margie says:

        I’d be getting copies of that phone bill FOR SURE!!! It wouldn’t be pretty.

        • michers says:

          I think she is trying very hard to hold on to anything thats private, as there is not much left. When she signed on her contract, Im sure none of what has since transpired was in her head to worry about ( family, backstabbing, losing friends, and Joe’s issues). Im giving that a little consideration and respect! Its one thing to assume what happened or who it was, but she does not owe anyone the actual details .

          • Maru the Cat fka Sharon Lea says:

            ITA Michers & You Can’t Hide Stupid – I assume that Teresa has discussed everything with Joe, including who the person was on the other end of the phone, but it is all very fresh for her, and too much to share. She wants her fans to know that she is hurt and isn’t brushing it away.

        • U can't hide stupid says:

          Something tells me she already has…. Tre is no ones fool. Not even bravos

        • Margie says:

          For clarification — I wasn’t implying she should tell any of us the details— I meant if I were her, that was my husband, and I was just now seeing what he said and how he said it, I would be getting a copy of the phone bill now to get to the bottom of it. I would be furious. And hurt.
          No way should Bravo have shown that phone call.

          • michers says:

            True Margie! But also, I feel as a fan she does not have to disclose that to me ( not implying anything about your comment!) Who knows? Maybe she already has the nasty details if there are any. She doesn’t need any more hurt- but only she can allow or deny what else she goes through. I wish her the best, I feel she deserves it.

      • stephanie(evsmom) says:

        It isn’t any of our business who was on the phone, that is between a husband and wife! She addressed the name calling because that was a fact that we all heard what he said. As far as who was on the phone for all we know it could of been a worker because there is no way any of heard what the other person said or if the voice was male or female. So fact isthere is no proof to whom it was. Just stating the Facts!

      • Say What?? says:

        I think he is garbage for the things he said to Teresa. Nothing can excuse that. Nothing!

        But i do believe Bravo did some editing with that phone call. They never showed his face when he was saying the bad stuff. So i dont know what to believe about that phone call. I dont know what was edited and what wasnt. He could have said all that stuff on a different day or to different people or in different settings. I believe they edited the shiot out of it.. otherwise they would have showed his face saying those things. Just to prove to people! Because Teresa did bring lawyers in to try to fight them. You can clearly see editing was involved.

        I dont know what to believe… but without a doubt the words “here comes my bitch wife, shes a cunt, whore, retard.. all came out of his mouth and i can and will condem him for THAT!

        • Bionic says:

          THANK YOU!

        • jlf says:

          Maybe joe had said these things about other women at different times on different shows and bravo edited it to make it look like it happened then. That is a lot of vulgar language said at one time. When did he have time to talk about business. I believe Tre went to see where he was to bring him back to the dinner table, which I would have done. Is this what Caro ment when she said read between the lines or that Tre’s marriage is going to fail? Sounds like Caro was privy to this episode a very long time ago.

        • Lee Bassett says:

          Bitch wife, whore, cunt, retard. That’s all in the past. He loves her now. Probably never meant any of it. Their marriage will be fine.

    • Someone Who is Watching says:

      • rukidding? says:

        kelly, no she doesn’t. she didn’t sign a contract with you or any other viewer. the contract is with bravo and anything she does or says on camera they own. she still has a right to reveal or not reveal personal things in her life. as long as she didn’t reveal it on camera then it’s her business.

      • JanieG says:

        Kelly, I hate to think what else you think she should be showing?? Jeez, she’s humiliated, and I am concerned for someone who doesn’t find that to be enough.

      • teresa veryloooow forehead says:

        I believe it’ll come out, count on it!

        yes she does and we’ll know all about soon enough!!

    • Jennifer says:

      Really! There is no indication he spoke to a woman. Where did you find that. Provide transcript of scene to support your opinion.

  3. hoolie says:

    I think it was a great blog. In today’s day and age of ‘if they cheat, get a divorce’ I admire her for sticking through this rough patch. She is so right that when you see people married 30,40 and 50 yrs, there were some rough patches that they got through.
    I just admire Teresa a whole lot.

    • Rebecca says:

      I agree, but she’s not admitting to him cheating. She’s not acknowledging WHO was on the other end of that call. Sure the name calling is bad, but what about the person who was telling that Teresa was those words? I think this seasons reunion is going to require that the men have a sit down on the couch. Teresa, Melissa and Kathy especially should not be answering questions this year about what their husbands have said. The men need to own up to their actions and sit down. Most of the other HWs franchises have had the men on, its time for NJ to also.

      • cammierari says:

        I think it’s no one’s business who was on the other end of the phone. And it’s no one’s business but Teresa’s what she does about it. As long as her eyes are open, and I’m pretty sure they are now, she will do what’s best for her and her girls.

        • Rebecca says:

          she signed up for the show, Joe agrees to appear (he doesn’t have to/doesn’t get paid to), but if they are going to open themselves up to television, they need to be willing to answer the tough questions. When Camille was cheated on by Kelsey, we all knew who it was, i’m sure not by Camille’s choice. Joe is being real shady in that scene and if Bravo is going to air it then Bravo should at least question who it was (whether or not Teresa answers is her and Joes decision, but it still doesn’t take away from the curiosity of people).

          • ethan says:

            this is so dumb. they do not have to be willing to answer any questions. they do not owe anyone an answer. everyone has a choice in life and they can choose not to answer the question. and if it pisses off some loser blog obsessers then what do they care?

          • cammierari says:

            I hope you’re kidding…even if I was on a reality show, I would NEVER put my personal business out in the street because people were CURIOUS. You don’t sign away your rights to claim some privacy! They can show only what they capture on tape-and you’re still allowed to say nothing about it if you so choose

          • Rebecca says:

            1. ethan i’m probably more educated than you. so get your facts straight before you start calling someone a “loser” and 2. if she talks about it in magazines and has it filmed then she absolutely should be willing to talk about it. I dont see Caroline and Albert filming their sex lives/scandals, and that is precisely why people dont ask about them. if you’re willing to fame yourself out there for the world to see then you better be able to answer questions people have. and if you think for a second that andy isnt going to ask Teresa the next time he has her live (wwhl or the reunion) then you are completely unaware of how this show works. Bravo thrives on this kind of stuff and Teresa should know by now that it’s going to be asked if its seen. Andy waited 3 YEARS to ask Joe about the “f*ggot” comment Joe Guidice made season 1, if you think he isn’t going to ask Teresa and Joe about this, then you need to start paying more attention to have this franchise operates.

            And as for your comments cammierari, Teresa CHOSE to put her life and her husbands life and her kids lives on tv. No one asked you to put your life on tv (or if they did and you declined, good for you, thats the smart choice to not exploit your life for money). And If you read Teresa’s blog she said 8 straight days of filming for this trip, clearly no privacy was given, so she, and everyone else in the cast, absolutely sign away their privacy. Bravo didn’t make Teresa film with her lawyer, she CHOSE to. Teresa shows a lot more insight into her life than the rest of the cast, so of course people are going ask questions about what they see – thats the point of the show, to make viewers ask whats going on, whats going to happen next? Otherwise if they should us everything then we wouldnt need to keep watching week after week.

            I don’t understand why either you are attacking me for my opinion and curiosity (and i’m sure i’m not alone in this) in who was on the other line and I even said “whether or not Teresa answers is her and Joes decision” but you still attack? Get over yourselves and Teresa. If you haven’t caught on to how this show works yet then that’s not my fault. If viewers aren’t questioning someone’s life on the show, they get replaced. Questions = interest and interest = air time. And since Teresa is all about the money, she is definitely going to be expecting these questions, you can try and defend it all you want, but at the end of the day, it’s clear that the question will be asked at some point (BUT SHE STILL HAS THE CHOICE TO DEFER ANSWERING)

          • cammierari says:

            Rebecca I didn’t attack you. I just disagreed with you.
            Yes Teresa is on a reality show but in my opinion that doesn’t mean she has to satisfy viewers curiosity about everything they see on the show

          • hoolie says:

            Just because someone has signed a contract to appear on a reality show does not give way to that person having to divulge every piece of personal information regarding something this highly personal nature. Teresa herself wrote she asked the network to refrain from airing this, and they did not, as is their prerogative her contract.
            If divulging information for a storyline because someone signed up for a show is requisite, then Caroline needs to advise what her issues are with Teresa specifically, Melissa should have been forthcoming in their methods to get on the show, Kathy and Rich should have been upfront on camera as to their career and motives to get on the show, etc etc.
            Simply because you are on a reality show, is not a free ticket for the masses to demand 100% access to ones personal life and information.

          • hoolie says:

            **forgive typo’s…on first cup O’ Joe**

          • Rebecca says:

            Hoolie, I agree that the others should be upfront. But Kathy and Rich film the baking and the gas station (once), but if those were their motives, then they are filmed. Melissa contacted Danielle off camera, and got on the show off camera, I’m not asking Teresa to divulge us in things off camera, this is something that happened on camera and therefore it is fair game to be ASKED, not necessarily answered. Furthermore, I believe Andy will ask Melissa about the contacting of Danielle at the reunion because it is a main underlying issue of the show. And Caroline doesn’t address her sibling issues because her sibling issues are not her storyline. Dina left this show/series for that exact reason. She hated the questioning of her life. When she was on WWHL recently, she squirmed at the personal questions because she just doesn’t want to do it anymore. But Joe’s way of mistreating Teresa is a recurring storyline this season and has reached its peak. Certainly Teresa has the option to not appear on the show anymore if the questioning is too much for her, but if she films with her husband (doesn’t have to, Dina never did) or films with her attorney then she and everyone else should expect questions about her marriage and legal issues to be asked. (I only bring up legal issues because at the s2 reunion she was asked about the bankruptcy and decline to answer, which I totally respected because she wanted it private, but then she started filming with her attorney to discuss it and once its filmed and aired, its expected to be discussed)

          • Jennifer says:

            That is false. Then let us see actual intercourse. Or let us see them in the bathroom. Let us see when Jac and Chris are with their attorneys on their BK. Please your statement lacks a factual basis.

          • Jennifer says:

            Rebecca they are responding to your opinion and not attacking it. They have every right to respond. You responded to someone else’s post, so you need to be ready to hear both positive and negative comments.

          • Jennifer says:

            Rebecca,

            What’s is off camera? We really do not know. They film for hours and we only see an edited version. So, your point lacks full disclosure to say what happened off camera as to Kathy and Richie.

            Further, off camera events influence on camera events. Nothing exists in a vacuum.

            Moreover, the name of the person on the phone could never be disclosed. Bravo, Comcast, and GE would be part of a law suit if the person did not have knowledge and a signed waiver to have their name disclosed.

            Next you will go into why don’t they tap their phones. Wang the legislation on Wiretapping. I can provide it.

          • hoolie says:

            As far as WHO was on the phone (going back to your first post), Teresa may not even know. Since the other persons voice was not played on air, and that person most likely does not have a contract with bravo, who it is, is none of our business.
            Yes, I do agree that questions regarding the phone call are going to be asked, but as you pointed out, Teresa and/or Joe are not obligated to answer them. But again, as far as her being obliged to tell us WHO he was talking to… none of anyones business.

          • rukidding? says:

            you can ask questions and have opinions all you want. doesn’t mean teresa and joe have to answer them. i’m sure andy will ask about the phonecall on the reunion but doesn’t mean anyones gonna answer it. andy has asked alot of personal questions on reunions and many of the housewives don’t answer them all. the reason why we knew who kelsey was being with because it was all over the tabloid and he didn’t hide her.

    • michers says:

      hoolie, great thoughts and I agree! I think it was a great blog also. She touched on things well and to the point. I would never expect a television personality to give me specifics on very intimate topics that should remain between her and her spouse. Only Jac would want that and thats disgusting to me.

  4. Andrea from alabama says:

    I can only imagine what she as well as her children are going through. I can totally see that she’s trying. What are those snakes she calls co- stars, particularly St. Kathy. What Ritchie said last night was beyond disgusting. Any ownership of their disgusting behavior?

    • michers says:

      Dont ya love how its ok for THAT to be a joke? Is Kathy serious? Making such a hurtful statement, knowing that scene or not, was way over the line. Kathy makes the dumbest excuses but people pick on T? That was just another shitty statement bucky McGee makes and its, ok, its a joke. T tells a joke thats actually funny and a clearly a joke, and they torment her for 2 years..Kathy and Richie are gross. Joe and Mel- gross. Caro- icky to the highest degree with a black hole for a heart.

      • FREE KROY says:

        Kathy’s husband is gross.

        • hotsummerday says:

          So is Kathy.

        • bbc says:

          I don’t think Rich is as funny as he thinks he is, but I don’t think he’s gross. I think he’s basically a good husband and good dad.

          Giudice is the only truly gross husband in this franchise, IMO.

          • FREE KROY says:

            I do, he’s gross. Who walks around other women trying to poke them with his poker. His kids are old enough to see this. And that collar. I think a sexual harrasement scandle is going to come out about him in the future. I wonder how he treats his female employees. Well, does he work?

          • Mego the lying stripper says:

            He’s a freaking sex offender.

          • jerseygirl says:

            If you think he’s a good husband, go back and watch the meeting Kathy had at the ice cream parlor to sell her desserts. Richie practically sabatoged his own wife by cracking rude jokes and putting his wife down. He’s extremely sexist.

            Joe Giudice has never exposed himself OR even talked about his ‘tarzan’. Richie and Joe Gorga have. I personally prefer a guy who runs his mouth by saying what he feels, instead of a guy who exposes himself and says sh*t for the cameras because he thinks it’s entertaining.

          • hoolie says:

            Richie is one gross bugger- reminds me of one of those horny, lecherous little toads in the bar room, drunk, with bad, sour beer breath, dry humping your leg and pawing you while you try to run to the nearest big hulking guy for help.

      • karen says:

        I agree Michers

    • U can't hide stupid says:

      Hey andrea! Hope all is well in alabama. I havent seen the episode yet, but I heard he said something about Joe not wanting Tre in the bedroom why would he want her here”. Or something gross like that. What a vile pig. And no way on God’s green earth could something like that be a joke. Ugh.

      • koty says:

        Richie needs 2 talk he’s an old ugly creepy man member chasing Mel around the rv with a boner sick and disgusting behavior 2 do in front of his wife no1 wants him or 2b touched by him I’d become a nun first and join a convent first

    • Someone Who is Watching says:

      No Kidding Kathy and Richie boy are PIGS!

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      All y’all are right. In her blog she said, in light of what was happening, MAYBE, Ritches joke wasn’t that good. Bitch are you kidding me? Does she need to be slapped in the fucking head? Bump the phone conversation that Joe was having. There is no independent or depent variales in Ritchies comtinued verbal abuse and disgusing behavior. The comment by Ritchie Waklie was sick and disgusting, and he was wrong and it ain’t no right in it. Apologize, and own the fact that Ritchie is a piece of shit. I don’t care what anyone says, maybe I am making excuses for Joe because I really like him, and find him relatable, but the thing about him that is redeeming, to me, he isn’t sitting around and gossiping about the other women and their husbands. Past seasons, there was no talking head of Albert Manzo or Chris Laurita, or any of the children. Fast forward to this season and everyone is a housewife, and everyone has an opinion on TERESA. Meanwhile she’s content and confident enough to steal the entire show, just by herself. Kathy is fairwearher, and she changes with the wind. I have not witnessed any saintly behavior from her, Ive not witnessed what shes done that warrants extra acknowledgment (Hell any acknowledgement at all if it were me). At least Teresa went to Kathy, told her the issue she had with her, and talked it outl Kathy took her stupid ass to her brain, Caroline, and was told what to think. Kathy is just a chicken dipped in weak sauce.

      • Good Grief says:

        Seems to me, as events have proven, that Richie, like it or not was speaking truth. Tough pill to swallow. Better grab some water.

        • cammierari says:

          not every truth needs to be spoken aloud, and from a FAMILY MEMBER no less. Richie is a class A moron

          • Andrea from Alabama says:

            EXACTLY. Kathy, Ritch, and Caroline can dish it, but when comes to taking it, it’s a no go. If Teresa wouldve made any kind of comment about Kathy’s nonexistent sex life, then they would’ve said, she was being mean spirited, projecting, and being spiteful. Everything does not require a comment, especially if itbhas nothing to do with you. This was nit Ritch’s first disgusting comment, it wasn’t his second or third. It has been so many, that you can’t keep up. NONE OF THEM CAN TSLK ABOUT THE WAY JOE TALKS TO TERESA, when in truth they’ve all said very hurtful things behind her back.

        • Capile says:

          Great, if it’s all about truth, then the gloves can come off and being left out of a toast is the least thing Kathy will have to whine about. Teresa can unload on her for years of sucking with none of her passive-aggressive victim shit getting in the way.

        • Seven says:

          Yeah, because it’s totally normal for someone’s gross, nasty, skeevy, pervy old uncle to have an opinion about their sex life. Richie is so wise, he’s like the Oracle of Famewhore Douchebags. Soon he’ll be partnering with Chucky for an advice book, “We Could Straighten Out All Our 99 Siblings’ Lives If Only They Would Return Our Phone Calls.”

        • Mego the Lying stripper says:

          How the F does Ritchie know that Joe guidice doesn’t want teresa in the bedroom? Is he peeping in the windows? I am telling you this guy makes my skin crawl.

      • michers says:

        LOL Andrea! hey yer doin? Your comments kill me, thank you :) And you are right !

    • I’m now thinking Tre didn’t ask Joe to put it in on her own…..Bravo had Melis tell Tre sex films pay well while on the bus, then later they had Tre and Joe in the grape vines doing whatever. Melis is trying to get more sex scenes in now, cuz Tre gets big bucks to behave like a tramp.

  5. Julz says:

    What would bother me more then what he called me (which is pretty bad by itself) is how his conversation was on the other end. He clearly was talking to someone he is in some sort of relationship with to me that is the bigger issue her, which I feel was not addressed. That and then he was compltely lying to her about who he was talking to and made up a conversation to get off the phone. The bottom line is I understand sticking it out when you hit a rough patch in your marriage, but to me personally….Joe continues to show the type of guy he is. A cheater, a liar, a manipulator,and a con artist. This isn’t just a momentary indiscretion and he has been peaches and cream the rest of the time they have been on this show. Dude has issues.
    I know I am going to get slammed for saying this, but I feel as though people give him a pass on this and make excuses for him…but if Albert talked to Caroline like this or Chris talked to Jacqueline or Joe talked to Melissa like this….everyone would be up in arms about what a disgusting pig scum bucket they are, but becuase it is Joe/Teresa….excuses are made for them.

    • FREE KROY says:

      I agree, however, I think Joe Gor does talk to Melissa like this. Did you hear him on the cano ride. He cused at her. I think this is the way they were raised and Tre’s father may treat her mom the same way. Also, editing is at work here too. The other guys may talk to their wives this way put, Bravo does not advertise it. Joe made a huge mistake when he made the anti-gay comments. Andy is going to bring him DOWN. I have been opposed to Tre leaving the show because it is such a big money maker for her. But, if she wants to save her family, I now think it’s time for the to let go and leave the show. Sad that Joe can not buy into such a big opportunity for them but, and try to spin his comments about gays in a more positive direction. Maybe Tre and Joe getting involved in some gay pride activities, ect. He just keeps digging his grave deeper by making these comments. Calling his brother in law Josephine, ect is an anti-gay comment. They are going to Toast him. Or better yet, maybe he can pull a Jim Belino and just not be a part of filming since he is such a loose cannon. Tre needs a PR.

      • hotsummerday says:

        I don’t want to hear Andy lecture Joe yet again about his comments. Enough already. Maybe if they got rid of Andy, these shows would improve.

        • reddvette says:

          Yes get rid of Andy. He stirs a lot if the drama with ladies trying to be his favorite.

        • FREE KROY says:

          baby, that ain’t going to happen. keep dreaming. They all need to stop biting the hand that feeds them. these shows make these families millions. there are thousands of ladies lined up to get a spot on these shows. Andy anin’t going any where. Tre needs a PR team and Joe needs step into the back ground and let Tre shine.

    • koty says:

      Most cell phones companies can go online and see phone no of all calls made and received my ATT I can c them a couple hrs after made until there is proof we should not speculate or judge. Yes I can back through my statements 4 a year and c calls still and times phone calls call no. And c who answers

    • rukidding? says:

      julz. i think everyone is curious as to whom joe was talking to on that phone. i think it will come out in the long run. everyone’s dirty secrets always come out on these reality shows. she barely found out about it so maybe she doesn’t know or she just doesn’t want to address that part because it isn’t anyone’s business. also her enemies would love to use it against her. so i think maybe she’s being cautious.

    • michers says:

      If that were true, yes… but we are all assuming , especially the ones who do not like Te and Joe that he was def cheating and it was a woman.. Maybe it was a mistress? IDK. I am not slamming you and agree with some of your comment I just don’t know about the cheating- yet. The other thing you mentioned was about other husbands and how they talk: I cannot stand Big Al . he may not talk inappropriately to Caro, but there is no love, he has been cold to her for years and he has been known around Jersey for his female companions. Joe Gorga- eww- totally degrades women- his wife is a sex toy and trophy for him. Rich- has insulted women everywhere and the lesbian community and how he talks about his wife’s cousin is horrid! Chris Laurita is the only decent one thus far because he has his hands full covering up his shady business dealings and his wife who clearly has many issues. The problem is, the only one who gets targeted is Joe Giudice and that I cannot take anymore. If you want to go after that behavior, there are more people on this cast !

  6. Noni says:

    It was obvious to me watching the episode last night that she didn’t feel the need to toast Kathy because they had spoke about their issues at their previous lunch date. Its not like she had been around Kathy, riding in the same RV as them, so I don’t get why she’s getting bashed by the other wives for not mentioning Kathy in the toast. I’m glad Teresa touched on that in her blog- if all of America can see it, then its obvious everyone just wants something to pick on her for as usual.

    • Maru the Cat fka Sharon Lea says:

      I thought the same thing, that she and Kathy were cool with each other so there was no need to say anything. It was so puzzling, then Caro said she wouldn’t toast to a ‘mean toast.’ I wondered, ‘What mean toast?’

      • JanieG says:

        So bizarre!! Caroline thought it was a mean toast because T. didn’t say something nice about Kathy, BUT it wasn’t mean to be cutting on Teresa w/ Jaq and Kathy in their little mean girls’ session. Does someone need to remind them: WE HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING – this isn’t a silent movie!!

  7. Lia says:

    I think Teresa missed the point… it’s not only that he said the words he said about her, but it’s also that he FEELS those words about her! And also that he was talking that way about her to … someone else. Who is the mystery person on the other end of the phone that he snuck away to talk to?

    “I don’t really want a guy that acts like a woman. I’d rather not have Joe talk to me like a perfect gentlemen and go to his mistress’ apartment every night either.”

    Apparently she doesn’t understand that it’s not an “either/or” situation. Most men don’t call their wives the c word and they also don’t have a mistress. And does she really think that men who don’t call their wives bitches or the c word are acting “like women”?

    I’m not even gonna touch upon the mistress comment. Not gonna go there.

  8. Kimoke says:

    How much you wanna bet Caro and Jax are going to take the mistress comment and spin it as T making a dig at them? Jax will be going nuts on twitter any minute now and spilling more of T’s personal business.

    • Capile says:

      You know it’s coming. Jac told Tom Murro that she “wouldn’t want to comment on something so personal and hurtful to Teresa and her family.” I’m sure they both had a good laugh over that one. lol

  9. Margie says:

    I feel sorry for her. I can not imagine my husband ever speaking to me or about me that way.
    Like it wasn’t bad enough to hear what Melissa, Joey, Kathy, Rich, Caroline, Jacqueline, Chris and all Caroline’s kids were saying behind her back???
    Now she hears her own husband doing the same thing, but worse, because he’s supposed to be the one person on her side and be protective of her???
    Sad. Sad. Sad.
    I hope every single one of them is proud of themselves. not.

  10. LisaM says:

    She is so good at making excuses for poor/classless behavior.

    IDIOT TO THE MAX.

    • Tobi says:

      She didn’t make any excuses. She is explaning her reasons for sticking by him and not leaving. She explained the circumstances in which they were in. If you do not agree with her that is fine, but remember you are not living her life she is and she has to do what is good for her and her family.

    • Jennifer says:

      She made not excuse. There isn’t an excuse in her blog. She didn’t like it or respect it. She acknowledged it and yes other men do say nasty things to their wives. Look at the divorce rate in the US and if you think the over 50% is about men respecting their wives I have a bridge to sell you.

  11. Kathleen says:

    she is nuts ! how can she excuse everything he has said and done the WHOLE effin season. He has no respect for her not a drop!! She is missing some brain cells defending this pos ….he is total pond scum …she deserves whatever he dishes ! dumb ass.

    • Tobi says:

      aww it is sweet you care so much about her. Don’t worry she will be fine, because she is a fighter and does what she has to do! Focus on your life!

    • Jennifer says:

      Kathleen,

      Your statement is silly. There is no excuse in her blog. She is genuine. Do marriages have their ups and downs? Absolutely and when people get to their breaking point then they leave. Teresa wants her marriage. You do not have to like it, but it is not your marriage.

    • teresa says:

      She is excusing his behavior because she doesn’t want to deal with the truth of the matter, I believe that, it’s much easier then dealing with a nasty divorce and all that it entails. I’m sure she isn’t the first woman to handle it as though it never happened, she probably will never check the phone records. I can’t believe that she would think the viewers will just let this pass by her not addressing the situation. It’s not over yet, that’s for sure!

      • Tobi says:

        I am confused and I would love for you to clarify and clear my mind how do you know T doesn’t want to deal with the truth of the matter? How do you know she hasn’t? How do you know what she thinks? The only evidence we have to form any opinion is what is shown on editied TV. Making statements going beyond that evidence is just mere speculation, so please tell me how do you know?

  12. Grammy8 says:

    It was a sad show and I don’t know how Teresa puts one foot in front of the other with all that is going on in her life. I do agree, after being married 49 years and counting, that my husband and I have had some major meltdowns years ago. We stuck it out because we both love each other and because like Teresa and Joe, we had a multitude of other things going on as well. That’s what marriage is suppose to be about. So before I throw Joe out with the dishwasher, I want to see how he handles himself going forward. In next week’s previews, he takes on Caroline and I believe it is in defense of Teresa. For that reason alone, he may have rehabilitated himself with me. I would love to know how JoeGorga feels about the Manzos after watching these episodes and seeing how Caroline has acted. I wonder if he has had his eyes opened any? Kind of doubt it.

    • Dee says:

      I love my husband but I have to admit my friends have heard me call him a few names now and then. Usually out of frustration and I’m just venting. I love him, I even like him, but sometimes they can get on your nerves. Though I would be more careful if I were wearing a mic, but then I’m not selling myself on a tv show. And come on, for better or worse, they do have to sell themselves and these days bad behavior is good tv. (you can say its crap but we’re all tuning in, aren’t we?)

  13. SORRY TRE, DON’T BELIEVE A WORD/U SAID, MOST ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE TOAST. DIDN’T WANT IT 2/B LONG?, THEN JUST SAY THANKS 2/MY FAMILY & FRIENDS, THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED EVERYONE INCLUDING KATHY. SHE’S BEEN TRYING ALL SEASON 2/B KIND & NICE 2/U. DRAGGING U/R HUSBAND WHO CLEARLY DIDN’T EVEN WANT 2/GO W/U INTO THE BUSHES AFTER BEING CALLED SUCH FILTH 4/A QUICKY WAS THE GROSSES THING YET.THE NEXT DAY, HE PUSHED U/R FACE AWAY, LIKE HE DIDN’Y EVEN WANT/U NEAR, GREAT EXAMPLE 4/U/R DAUGHTERS. U/R BOTH PIGS, & I DON’T BELIEVE A WORD U’VE SAID. SORRY BUT, I HAVE MORE BRAINS THAN THAT. STAY OFF THE SHOW & FIX U/R HOUSE, & I DON’T MEAN DECORATE EITHER.

    • Tobi says:

      I really would like to know, specfics details, what Kathy has done to be nice to her? Details please???

      • pinkie says:

        Kathy is a pouting old bag of potatoes. she has to gripe to get any airtime. Of course rolling her eyes and making snide remarks comes in second to Richies, nasty pants. That scene was gross and shows what it takes for Bravo to make those two interesting.

      • JanieG says:

        Yeah, I certainly must have missed that show. Rich talks about how K. has tried so hard to be a good cousin and make things nice????? Think Richie found Kathie’s smoking apparatus and has taken a few puffs too many.

    • T says:

      I don’t know how you can say Kathy & nice in the same sentence. Kathy is awful to T & has been since she came on this show with her disgusting husband.

    • koty says:

      • michers says:

        And their daughter is a “cockblocker” says the loving daddy! But JoeGi is the worst husband??? Ugh. I can’t speak for everyone, but from what I have seen the last 2 seasons, the rest of this cast is distasteful pigs. I have yet to see T give reasons that deserve these bashfests, picking apart her marriage, all the while, her cousin and her hubby are pathetic. Her bro and SIL are fake famewhores who probably already have tour guide sex tape out.. the list is endless!

        • rukidding? says:

          wasn’t joe gorga being rude to his wonderful wife melissa on the boat? she was trying to tell him it was sinking and he didnt believe her and telling her to shutup. i thought that was rude and he’s a moron as well because the boat was sinking. his stumpy legs couldn’t feel the water or what?!!

    • reddvette says:

      Teresa did say that she enjoyed everyone while thanking the Lauritas for inviting them, wishing Caroline a happy birthday, saying she enjoyed reconecting with the Gorgas. What Kathy does not fall in the everyone? Did Teresa need to single out every person there? Please stop shoveling the crap.

  14. Denise says:

    She’s knows he was cheating that’s why she was acting like a women scorn by throwing herself at him after the phone call.

    • Maria says:

      That’s exactly what I thought. Good eye on that! She knows he’s cheating. What does everyone want her to say? Yes Joe cheats on me? Come on people. Everyone deals with this type of situation differently. I feel so sad for her! :(

    • rukidding? says:

      yeah it looks that way. then again she is always trying to hug and kiss him and he’s always pushing her away. very suspicious. she was trying to have a fun moment with her husband and he was being a rude jerk and the other people were being pervy peeping toms.

  15. Divorce says:

    I respect Teresa for not quitting on her marriage. That’s why the divorce rate is so high. Yes, what Joe said to her was VERY wrong and hurtful to the mother of his four little girls. That’s what bothers me is that he has daughters who will someday marry men. Does he want them to be talked to like that. I think not. See this is where Teresa’s brother should step up to defend her. Brothers would fight someone talking that way towards their sister.

    • Maria says:

      I don’t think anyone should jump in and handle Joe for Teresa. Let her handle the situation in a way that is best for her (and only she knows that).

    • Good Grief says:

      You cheat on me and constantly verbally abuse me, damn straight I’m going to divorce your ass. The divorce rate is not high because people “quit on their marriage”, the divorce rate is high because people don’t respect their vows,.spouses and children.

      • michers says:

        Well the rest of them should get divorced then as well! Do you honestly think that Big Al is the best hubby? Just because he didn’t call Caro a bitch on camera, lol? Richie wants to put his boners on whomever is around- should Kathy file? And don’t even get me started on the Whorgas..If thats is what you are going off of, then I really do not see much of the cast remaining with their spouses.

      • teresa says:

        I think Tre knows full well that Joe cheats or at least suspects he does. Sense she stated her girls would hate him and she would divorce him if he ever cheated is probably one of the reasons she is in denial. I don’t blame her for not wanting this made public it has to be devastating. It’s difficult enough dealing with a cheating spouse in your private life but on a reality show I’m sure its much worse.

      • Jennifer says:

        No the divorce rate is high because people quit. Cheating is very high in Europe, but the divorce that is lower. Europeans do not quit marriages as easily as Americans. There are stats on that, if you like.

    • Jennifer says:

      He needs anger management counseling. I have said it for months. But I agree with your opinion.

    Joe do the right thing. Be a man. Apologize! How could you publicly humiliate the Mother of your children?

  17. Sweet Black says:

    Dont like Caroline. She thinks her fam is so perfect.

  18. Honnie Badger says:

    I believe Joe asked, “what are you doing?” To which he giggled and smiled a little and said, “Oh, don’t tell me that.” I immediately thought it was an intimate, sexy type call; the woman probably said she was in the bathtub or lounging around in her undies.

    Did anyone else notice that?

    • Kimoke says:

      Sadly, Honnie that was the exact feeling I got too.

    • Bailey says:

      ^^^I did. Clearly, the person on the other end of the line did not say “buying groceries” or “making pizza” or “working”.

    • Margie says:

      Me, too. Shame on him.

      • Shipp says:

        ENOUGH……..for all we know the GUY on the other end of the phone could have said I’m wacking off, or I’m taking a dump, or I’m in the middle of making my woman scream. And, that type of talk would make Joe laugh. I didn’t read anything sexual into it.

        Come on, by now, you all know how these men on the show talk, all the time, all of them

        I’m not buying he’s talking to a woman, mistress, or girlfriend.

        • Lia says:

          Joe calls the “person” on the other end of the phone “baby”. He said, “Hi Baby.” You think it was a guy??? Come on now.

          • Shipp says:

            Lia, he did not say “baby” or “Hi Baby”.That was Bravo’s preshow hype.

            Bravo was informed, attorney wise, to take it out or else…..

    • teresa says:

      Yes, you could here it in his creepy laugh that it was an intimate call, it really made me sad for Tre. I believe Teresa knows he was talking to a woman. If this is the very first time Tre has ever been suspicious of Joe cheating then she is probably in shock and doesn’t even know how to begin addressing a cheating scandal.

    • Jennifer says:

      I did but that is not indicative of a woman or anything. It could be anything.

  19. maggie says:

    oh and I forgot…caro’s husband is the one with his own apartment (mistress) ….Rich is an schmuck (language – using the “breaking nuts” to daughter’s date – who does that) and Chris stays with an alcoholic wife (co-dependent)….so they all need to get the brooms out and clean their houses

  20. maggie says:

    and don’t get me started on the cross-dressing sex addict troll

  21. DLL says:

    It’s obvious that Bravo gave that clip to the magazine since the clip is property of Bravo.
    How rotten was that? She had to learn from a magazine that had a copy first.
    I effin’ can’t stand Bravo. Will never watch anything on Bravo again. This is not entertainment.

    • Divorce says:

      Right…Bravo and Andy Cohen are the worse. Anything it takes to gain viewers and exchange for advertising dollars. Don’t care who they hurt in the process. But you know what, they get paid to be humiliated so….

      • Mego the lying stripper says:

        Bravo would love another suicide, that’s how freaking low they are. Good thing Teresa is made of steel.

    • Someone Who is Watching says:

      Well, obviously BRAVO is ANTI family and ANTI traditional marriages. How disgusting that their frontman Andy screams discrimination all the while destroying and demeaning traditional morals.
      Just so everyone knows I am PRO BOTH. I live my life by the credo “live and let live” befor anyone tries to jump on me for that comment!

        I think Andy is still upset over Teresa pushing him down. From there, he sent in orders to his staff to hire her family she didn’t get along with and turn her friends against her. Andy is the one who really wants to shame Teresa. He was embarrassed that a woman knocked him down to his seat. Ha ha

        • Bionic says:

          Cause he is nothing but a B*tch! Since he lacks manhood he’s still “upset” about a woman pushing him… What real man holds a grduge abou that? Let’s be for real here.

          WHen is someone going to start exposing Andy? He got some freaky skeletons!

      • hotsummerday says:

        Andy is a total creep who has no respect for women. If you go back to the first Housewives show when it first started, Orange County, it was nothing like this. The women were all friends and it was interesting to see how they lived.

        These shows have become progressiveley more demeaning and degrading to women. It’s not just friends fighting with each other anymore, but now families tearing each other apart. In all of the Housewife shows, the women are ridiculed.

        Only a sick, twisted misogynistic SOB woud put this on the air and think it’s entertainment.

        The media is controlled by psychologically disturbed people now.

        • reddvette says:

          Totallly agree Andy is the start and stopping point of the hate. I think his real problem with the Gudices is they are not running aroung kissing his ass at every chance. Joe is so not anti-gay, if he was he and Jaimie Laurita would have a 10 plus year friendship. Joe Gudice is not politically correct and a lot of world is not. If Joe G was anti-gay he never would have aplogised to Greg about the loose asshole joke when he saw it hurt his feelings.

          • rukidding? says:

            i used to like andy. i thought he was funny and unbiased and he seemed to really like everyone. times have changed since then and his true colors have come out. it’s pretty obvious he has favorites and he has let the fame get to his head.

        • T says:

          @hotsummerday
          I always think that Andy hates women. He makes asses out of most of the Housewives.

          • Good Grief says:

            Yes. Completely ANDY’S fault that Joe continually breaks the law. ANDY’S fault that Joe has always been verbally abusive to his wife. ANDY’S fault that Joe cheats on his wife. ANDY’S fault that Joe calls his wife a.bitch and a cunt to his mistress. You gals are smart. *eyeroll*

          • T says:

            Wow! @Good Grief
            Maybe you should quit twisting everyone’s words around on this post or try a reading comprehension class. ;)
            Love how people of lower intelligence have to resort to bashing other posters instead of making any valid or factual points.

          • Good Grief says:

            I did make a valid point. Andy has nothing to do with it. He isn’t magically editing Joe’s life. So maybe YOU need to enroll in a reading comprehension class. While you’re at it, look up ‘hypocrite’ in the dictionary.

          • T says:

            @Good Grief
            If you are going to dish it out to everyone on here be prepared to take it.
            Hypocrite…
            A person who engages in the same behaviors he condemns others for.

            My point of my post to you is simple…everyone can have their own opinion w.o being rude to others.

          • michers says:

            @GoodGrief- it may not be all Andy’s fault but he has a big influence on things with the show. For example, at the Reunions specifically Jersey- do you see him question or push equally with the other women? No! WWHL- same thing! Why is Caroline allowed to doge answering serious accusations or comments? Why didn’t he set the record straight last reunion about MeHo and Kathy joining? The only one he is brazen with is Teresa and hounds her with questions. And BTW- JoeGi is not the only lawbreaker or the only one with lawsuit. Matter of fact, Caro and her hubby lead the pack! Chris and Jac are not innocent . Chris has judgments for quite a few things prior to his shenanigans with Signature Apparel. Al was fired for lying to the Governor for his water job and his illegal set up of an apartment.Richie- not innocent with legalities himself. And the Gorga’s- nope- they got problems also. Its fine you don’t like T, won’t trash your thoughts. But to always point out what you do not like about Giudice is nuts to me when the others are worse in most areas you bring up.

          • michers says:

          • Bionic says:

            I would love to see all of our lives being played out in the open and in front of all the cameras. I am sure some will be very dull to watch like the Manzo’s and some may have bigger issues than the Giudices.

      • Mego the lying stripper says:

        Amen!!!!!!

  22. Nicole says:

    I love Teresa and all, but she completely enables Joe to speak to her and about her the way he does. She says there’s no excuse to what Joe said, yet she still tried to justify it by pointing out that Joe was drunk and being filmed for 12 hours a day. While I do understand that Bravo is picking the most dramatic scenes to air, it’s still not an excuse.

    As much as I think Rich is gross, the way he treats Kathy is how all men should treat their wives. That’s just my personal opinion though.

    • jen says:

      I agree with everyhting you said except the way Bitchie Ritchie treats his wife, that guy can’t even wipe his own ass yet :)

    • jerseygirl says:

      Um…Nicole…Richie is pretty sexist.

      I saw a clip of him at the ice cream parlor when Kathy was trying to sell her dessert to the owner. First, WHY did Richie think he needed to be at Kathy’s business meeting discussing baked goods? Is it because he doesn’t give his wife enough credit to handle her own business. Richie showed Kathy no respect while she was trying to present her desserts, and he managed to throw in a few crude jokes. And can’t forget the time he took her to see Al Manzo about opening up a restaurant for Kathy. Boy did he talk down to her then too.

      With the amount of time Bravo spends trying to catch him disrespecting his wife, if Juicy had belittled Teresa in a business setting, we would have heard about it before it even got aired. So I’m betting Juicy respects his wife enough to let her run her own business meetings.

      I have no doubt in my mind, Juicy has more respect for Teresa’s brains and business sense than Richie does for Kathy. NO doubt.

    • Tobi says:

      Why is it an excuse when someone explains the circumstances in which something was said/done. It is called putting it into context so you can make a more informed opinion.

      Seriously analyse the situation in a more logical and less emotional way please. This is not directed at you only, but everyone who keeps saying Tre explaining the circumstances is an excuse. An excuse is overlooking or making allownaces about Joe’s behaviour. She is not doing that, she admits what he said was not OK and it was hurtful, but understanding the context in which it was said makes it that bit easier to forgive him. Like M saying she was in pregancy mode when she contacted D, was that an excuse or just an explanition of the context in which it was done???

      • michers says:

        Oh Tobi, its fine she formed a bond to trash Teresa, DUH!!! You can play nice with the enemy as long as it hurts Teresa silly! I cannot believe Caro and Jax let that get by saying NOTHING after all they did to keep Danielle away! I mostly loved when Jac was so mad at Teresa for that- how that makes sense I will never know.

      • Nicole says:

        Teresa has on multiple occasions overlooked and made allowances for Joe’s behavior. How many times have we seen him berate her on TV? And every time she overlooks it. Joe calling her a bitch and a cunt is the firs time that she actually acknowledged that it wasn’t right and it was hurtful. But every other time he’s called her stupid or told her to shut up or berate her, she always had the excuse of “Joe is tired of listening to me complain about my family” or “Joe is tired of my family hurting me.”

        In my opinion, there’s not much of a difference between an excuse and understanding the context in which something was said or done. At the end of the day, it’s still an excuse. Just because she acknowledged it wasn’t right or that she was hurt doesn’t mean that blaming filming and alcohol isn’t an excuse.

        • Tobi says:

          I guess we have a different interpretation of what an excuse is.

          With regards to Joe’s behaviour to her, we are only exposed to a snippet of it and guess what snippet Bravo decides to show us, the ones that get people talking. Do you honestly think that is how he treats her all the time?? Is Joe perfect? Nope and I go by the saying who without sin cast the first stone!!

          People find it so easy to judge so sad!! That last bit is not aimed directly at you, just a general observation of human behaviours and esp those on this site.

    • Mego the Lying stripper says:

      I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

    • Bionic says:

      He treats his wife “fine” and the rest of the female population like a toy. Ok… Let’s see when he sees a guy ref to his daughter in such classless way.

    I’m sure it was another woman. Bastard.

    • Shipp says:

      Excuse me? What makes you “sure if was another woman.”? Assumptions don’t fly with me.

      • Stephanie(evsmom) says:

        I’m not saying it was not another women, but don’t forget they were drinking all day. I have heard my ex talk like this on the phone and just randomly to people In a very “slow ahhhhh don’t tell me thhhhat!” When someone had screwed up a job on the site! He is a painting contractor! It almost sounds like he is trying to talk sexy when in fact he was trying to talk sober! And I’m not proud to say this but I can definatly hear him calling me names. Here comes my bitch wife, she’s an f_kn whore! Oh the memories! That of course is why he now is my ex! Lol! Also there is no proof he ever laid a hand on her, you are going a bit far with that! I am the last person to stick- up for my lousy ex but in the 22 yrs we were together he never laid a hand on me that is one of the reasons it was so hard to leave him! mental, psychological, verbal, and emotional abuse is just as bad as physical!

        • Shipp says:

          No one will ever convince me he was talking to a woman, mistress, girlfriend. Nope, not until I hear it from either T or her Joe. And actually it’s none of my business.

          If Bravo had the slightest clue Joe was cheating on T they would have run with it like a speeding train.

  24. amanda says:

    I hate to pull the editing card, but just watching that little part you could tell it was highly edited. Does that excuse the things he said about true? No, but I don’t think we are getting the complete story. I think if anything it sounded like he was talking to a dealer or someone. I may be wrong, but that was my impression.

    • Shipp says:

      Amanda, also when you watch the short edited clip, him and T are talking and it looks like he is about to smile and laugh. My impression was they were starting to joke around. Than bam, end of scene.

    • Bionic says:

      For all we know and with BRAVO’s known manipulating editing techniques… He could have been speaking of what someone else said about their wife and Bravo could have taken the audio clip and added it. We didn’t see his mouth pronouncing said words. Since they focused on another screen shot.

      I think that this whole franchise in a sham.

  25. cammierari says:

    I’m very sad for Tre. There’s no way to spin this other than to call it what it is-a betrayal by her husband. He should be ashamed of himself, and I hope he is. She doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment after she has stood by him no matter what. He has FOUR daughters! I’m sure he wouldn’t want anyone to treat any of them the way he treated Teresa. Just very sad.

    That being said, her female co-stars should also be ashamed of themselves for licking their chops over her misery. Teresa hasn’t said or done one thing to any of them that is motivated by meanness, unlike the rest of them. Richie is in a category all to himself, and has proven himself to be the biggest hater on the show-yes, even a bigger hater than Caroline, and that’s hard to do.
    What kind of family does Teresa have, that none of them feel sympathy for her in her situation? Obviously she is dealing with stuff we didn’t know about til now-if that brother of hers or her cousin didn’t call and reach out to her, they should be ASHAMED.
    Lastly, I am ashamed of myself, that I watch this crap. What kind of people run Bravo, and think this is entertainment? WHY do they want to ambush and hurt their biggest earner? I think Teresa has more than paid for Joe’s sin of using a gay slur. I hope Andy is pleased with himself this week. I am done with him

    • Maria says:

          LOL! I gave up with people I know too, know how you feel! And Camm, great points! I agree with you. For some reason, Im not sold on that incident being cheating though, Im unsure why? Maybe because I didn’t hear a woman? IDK.. still sad how he talked to her and about her, especially with everything she has already been dealing with.

          • cammierari says:

            michers I wish I could believe it wasn’t a woman on the other end of the phone…I just hope juicy came clean and has begged for forgiveness.

      • hotsummerday says:

        I feel this way now. After this season of RHONJ, I’m done. Not only am I sick of everyone on RHONJ except for Teresa, I am sick of Andy. I cannot continue to watch these shows, and put money in this womnan-hating sicko’s pocket.

  26. Wendy says:

    I’m sorry but I’ve lost a lot of respect for teresa she claimed that what joe did happened a year ago? No I live in new York city hurricane irene happened this past march this was just a couple of years ago what’s funny is how she doesn’t even acknowledge that her husband father of her kids lied to her to her face he claimed that the person he was talking to didn’t speak not one lick of English but before she arrived he was talking English to the other person on the phone it is amazing that she lets him get away with so many things giving him sex after he treats her like dirt I’m sorry Teresa but you deserve to get ur media card revoked you’re not being a great role model

    • Wendy says:

      Another thing I must add she said Joe was a bit frustrated cause the cameras were all up in his face ummm bravo wants the housewives not the husbands lets not forget Chris or Albert barely appeared on camera or sat down for interviews Teresa needs to stop it she needs people to call her out she’s a very dishonest human being everything she says it’s just a lie she doesn’t wanna be picked on but lets not forget when Danielle was around all the craziness she caused

      • T says:

        Um first…have you ever heard of a . or an ! Just curious? ;)
        Joe Guidice never does talking head interviews. Albert is rarely on camera (thank God) but Chris is all over the show this season & does tons of talking head interviews.

        • LJ says:

          Thats odd Wendy because Joe Guidice never does interviews and Chris and the boys have had stroy lines… And your wrong about Hurricane Irene… Are you sure we’re watching the same show?

          • Wendy says:

            And yes love we are watching the same show my whole thing if he doesn’t like the cameras around why does he show his face period theres a lot of other housewives show where the men just opt for not having any part of the show that is the point that I am trying to get to If he was frustrated and agiitated with the cameras why be on camera

          • michers says:

            Joe Giudice never does interviews, they are for the “women”,, LOL and notice the men that always do them? Biatches!

          • LJ says:

            I see your point of veiw Wendy but Joe Guidice is the ONLY husbnand who does not do the personal interviews. All the other husbands do. I think Joe lets T do it but choses to participate as little as possible. However A] Its inevitable for him not to be recorded and B] Bravo chooses to play more air time w/ Joe. Its strange to me that they did the whole BLK segment involving just the Mazo kids and Chris and at the Manzo kids apartments. Yet you never see a segment w/ just Joe!

        • Wendy says:

          Ummm first of all yes I am and what does it matter to you where I put a period or an exclamation point!?

      • Jennifer says:

        Chris and Albie are on constantly. What are you talking about. Chirs Manzo, Chris Laurita and Albie Manzo do personal interviews all the time. I do not undertand your point. Plus Irene was in August 2011. FYI I live in NYC as well. I was in the Hamptons at the time.

      • Jennifer says:

        Oh and what hurricane hit NYC in March? Hurricane season is August thought early October, fyi

      Wendy hurricane Irene was in new jersey / new York on August 28th 2011. It was a year ago. Not saying that because this happened a year ago excuses joes behavior. It’s inexcusable but her choice. But if that’s a point you are going to argue get your facts straight first.

          • Wendy says:

            Ummmm I’m sorry by youre incorrect I dont know her personal business I’m going by what I’m reading and seeing for myself that’s number one and I didn’t make several mistakes I’m sorry that I didn’t go into specifications about Joel’s interviews he’s still on fucking camera the same way Dina’s husband opted not to be on camera he couldn’t if he didn’t appreciate the cameras following his every move that was the point I was trying to make people and fuck hurricane Irene I’m sorry that I wasn’t in NYC I was traveling for a year so EXCUSE MY MISTAKE there shouldn’t be any reason to be disrespecting anyone especially if u don’t know them personally look at your hands first before u point at others cause yours may not be so clean :)

    I liked Teresa blog. I’m sure it was not an easy one for her to write.

    I do not blame her for asking/ begging bravo not to air it. But of course they did, it is what it is.

    Teresa deciding to stay with Joe is her own damn business it’s not mine. It’s her marriage her life!

    Also I could care less who he was talking to, that was for him to tell his wife not me, she does not need ot let me or any of us know who that was period!

      Yes Holy!! So on board with that. I don’t care, I am owed nothing by her. She only has to worry about her marriage and her kids. Its sad Bravo decided to put her biz on blast like that.

      • Shipp says:

        Holy, ditto. Actually with 2 weeks of Bravo hype I thought the “phone call” was basically much ado about nothing. There was a hell of a lot more crap going on than that the “phone call”. Pfft.

        • michers says:

          They sure did hype that up for a bit and I do not want or need to know the gritty details, but I personally from that, cannot say he was talking to a woman/cheating! Talking to her the way he did was sad, but its not the end all be all! She has stated before, ( which she does not need to ) that he has apologized for things he has said on the show to her or about her. While I do not agree with what he has said, thats between them to address. While I for one won’t make excuses, its almost understandable why he was in a bad place during filming. He sure is no angel, but he is not the worst.

  28. Someone Who is Watching says:

    Kathy’s True colors came out on this episode. She does NOT want a Giudice/Gorga reunion of any sort. She is always trying to bring up nasty crap behind Tres back so High school. Come on anyone could see that Tre & Joe were trying VERY HARD to bridge the gap between themselves and the Gorgas and Kathy couldn’t stand it!

    • holy cannoli says:

      I totally agree.. This coming from a woman thatwanted so bad for Teresa and Joey and Melissa to get along, make things right. Then she and Teresa can work on their relationship, remember her saying this? Unbeleivable! She is such a cry baby.. And that Caroline fanning the flames, just fanning the flames

  29. Kim says:

    She Begged Bravo not to air it ? Bravo you make me sick . Im sure you have edited ugly footage from the Manzo’s Laurita ‘s and Gorga’s.
    Andy Cohen claims to love Gia why wouldn’t he try to protect these kid’s from possibly seeing something so hurtful someday. Joe Guidice should have never put himself in that postion and needs to live with that but we all make horrible mistakes and should do what we can to protect innocent children.

    • Divorce says:

      Because Andy and his staff doesn’t like Teresa. Shame on Andy for being so vindictive.

    • Kimoke says:

      I agree Kim. T should make them beg her to do the reunion and then tell them no! See how they like it. They should have undoubtedly had her back on this one since her kids will be affected by it. What a rotten man that Andy is.

    • Good Grief says:

      If you are SO concerned with the welfare of the children, then get mad at TERESA & JOE for choosing reality tv over their daughters.

  30. DLO says:

    Not sure how I would handle the situation if with her husband if I were in her shoes. My first instinct would be is to kick him to the curb but that’s just me but who knows if I would do this. We should not comment unless we are in their shoes about this we all can say I would do this and I would do that but we never know until it happens to us. With that being said Bravo had a choice not to air this and they did they cannot take it back but if the shoe were on the Manzo’s, Gorga’s Walkilies and Laurita’s foot would they have aired it….??!!!

  31. Jlennon says:

    This is my fav T blog so far, my heart really breaks for Tre having to go through the humiliation of “the world” seeing the terrible things her husband said about her and the disgusting way he disrespected her, especially having 4 daughters Joe should think about how he would feel if his daughter was spoken about like that, anyhow onto why I love this blog!!! Tre has given a few hidden messages in it, she is showing us she won’t lie down and take Caroline’s crap any longer and I’m so happy. I have long suspected something’s not right in caro and Al’s marriage, she becomes nervous/awkward/shy??? You get my drift when any kind of discussion regarding their I it ate relations comes up, every time I see them together there is a huge void between them and I would bet my life on it they haven’t been having sex for a very long time and Al most probably has a long term mistress. What tre said in her blog this week about not wanting to have someone who speaks like a gentleman but then goes to his mistresses apartment each night automatically makes me think she’s talking about Al, and the other week after caro said in her talking head that tre would divorce Joe blah blah blah Tre responded by giving her a little warning about skeletons!! Tre most definitely knows more than she’s saying and caro knows it but Tre is too much of a lady to do to her what caro did to Tre that’s the difference between them!! Also loved tre’s description of Lauren I lol several times. Its also pretty obvious tre was the last of the cast to see this weeks episode which is just disgusting on bravo’s part and for them to take pleasure in airing it even though she begged them not to makes me sick, they have 4 children together show some compassion, you think bravo would have learned from Russell Armstrongs death but NO. Karma is coming to them all I can feel the change in the tide won’t be long now!!! Love you tre xx

  32. Margie says:

    It makes me sad to think of Gia and the probability that people or other kids will probably bring this up to Teresa’s kids. It’s hard enough being a kid these days without people seeing your family business on TV.

  33. bbc says:

    It’s hard to believe anything coming out of Teresa’s mouth. Joe has been foul in his treatment of her from the first season. He’s been calling her names for several seasons. This is all new to her? Sure.

  34. karen says:

    I feel so bad for Teresa – everyone hates her – you think your husband has your back and then you hear him calling you names. Bravo and Andy are just as bad as Teresa’s castmates – this should have never been aired. Teresa is a very strong woman for standing up against a tidal wave of hate. I could not take all of this abuse. I would have told Bravo,Andy and relatives and ex friends to kiss my ass and goodbye. Do your show without me. All of you have done enough to hurt me and my family ( family meaning my parents and my girls).

  35. Tee says:

    Doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks. What good does it do YOU if she divorces Joe? Nothing. Are you going to help raise her kids? Are you going to help with the bills that he helped to create? Are you going to be her backbone when everyone else is tearing her down??? Was he wrong? Hell yeah he was! Hopefully she’s putting him through it too since she just found out…but is it enough to break up her home? Probably not, especially if they are in a good place now. I think her blog was very real and heartfelt but she’s at a place that a lot of women have been and she has to chose what is best for HER and not for anyone else.

  36. Tee says:

    Oh and btw, Kathy is pathetic. Is she that desperate for acceptance that she needs to sniff up Caro’s butt and whine about not getting attention from Teresa? Give me a break! She likes to pick arguments out of nothing seems like. Oh and I hate it her blog where she says Richie’s comment was meant as a “wise crack” yet you can’t get over your name not being mentioned in a toast? Yet your husband can bad mouth and trash your “cousin” any time he feels? Seems like a pretty big damn double standard! Also, Caro stupid self “I dont toast (or whatever she said) mean toasts” HUH??? What????? Didn’t Teresa acknowledge your birthday and say thank you and stuff??? What is her deal? She’s so mean and sour all the damn time. I can’t stand looking at her!

  37. disgusted says:

    perfect response to a very bad situation Yay Teresa you keep getting better and better while everybody else gets worse and worse…….. you truly take the high road and always stay positive … i m sure you called juicy out for his appalling behavior … NOW CALL THE REST OF THEM OUT >>>> PLEASE

    • Kimoke says:

      Disgusted, I don’t want to see her call any of them out. There is no winning with these delusional nuts. She needs to drop them all like a bad habit, including Andy! Let’s see how long he has everyone’s back when T refuses to film with any of them. I’m sure Bravo makes a lot more money off of T then with all the crap the rest of them are shilling combined!

  38. disgusted says:

    oh and andy cohen and the rest of the bravo producers and editors are slime balls

  39. reddvette says:

    Teresa has shown herself to be a strong woman. She has stood by her man and supported his ass after he has made one mistake after the other,forging his partners signature, failing to list his correct income on his business bankruptcy, DUIs, traffic citations, getting the fake drivers liscenses and other stuff. Joe G has shown that his pride is more impotant than all else. He did not want to the show but Teresa did and now she along with the chances received from this silly show about women is supporting his ass and paying his 11 million debt and manintaing their standard of living.

  40. MandyK says:

    Jersey guys are many things, but you learn RESPECT when your a baby. Joe is a pig and does not respect his wife at all, the mother of his kids. Word is, his goomah had his son!!!Teresa is not dum at all and is looking the other way, for her kids sake.My ex husband screwed everything on the upper eastside. I think if I was blessed with kids, I would have looked the other way…

  41. ethan says:

    i just feel i need to point out that teresa is a real person. it is easy for people to get confused since she is on television. but teresa is a reality tv personality, not a television character. just because she signed up to join the show does not mean she owes america or anyone every single answer they want. all that means is that the portions of her life caught on film are for the public to judge. anything not caught on film is no ones effing business.

    • bigmommabitch says:

      I agree. This has to be so humiliating and difficult, and she is not under contract to explain her personal decisions to anyone.

    • michers says:

      Exactly! When Jersey started, it was not supposed to be going in the direction it has- things were different, people were different, and even though it was icky at times with Danielle, it was more focused for what it was intended to be.

  42. renee says:

    A well written blog. It was honest, from the heart , and all true.

  43. Daisy says:

    Teresa has done nothing wrong and it is Joe who has humiliated himself. I hope Teresa holds her head up high as she’s done nothing wrong. Joe needs to learn how to speak to his wife in a respectful way. And as a father of girls, my God is this what he wants them to think is acceptable behavior? Disgusting filthy mouth and to me it’s hard to believe that this is the first time he’s called her such names. He’s always called her stupid, or told her to shut up. He just gets worse!

    I know this is from last year but people don’t change that much unless they can admit they are wrong and work on being better.

    All the best to Teresa and her girls. I hope she can save her marriage and they are happy, not just faking it.

  44. CatCan says:

    Kathy Wakile is ridiculous. She was “embarrassed” she was not personally named in Teresa’s toast. Why in the world would she think that she SHOULD be included in the toast. Her blog states that there was “tension” at the table after the toast. Well, Kathy, you are the one that brought the tension on. Why did you choose to make the toast all about you?
    Who is Kathy Wakile that she feels she has a right to be included in any toast Teresa makes? At the end of the day you are just her cousin. Some people are close with a cousin or two, but most fall into the category of people we have a mild bit of allegiance to. If you have a falling out with a cousin or don’t see them for years, it probably doesn’t even register on your radar.
    But a brother is another matter. A falling out or squabble with a sibling cuts your heart. So when Teresa toasted her brother and not you, why did you choose to turn it into an ugly situation? Teresa was finally getting along with her brother and his wife after some heartbreaking drama and your feelings are hurt because you weren’t named in the toast??? You really are a snake for stirring up hatred for such a paltry non-reason.

  45. IMO says:

    omg, the lady is delusional, she was degraded on national tv and then topped it off by begging for sex in order to prove that they’re still ‘in love’ despite the treatment she received. it’s too sad even to comment, she’s imploding. Spend a few dollars wisely and get the family(kids)into therapy, the shrink kind not the physical. This is the legacy and the memories they’re going to be rewinding in a few years. They have four girls, most girls are highly influenced by the actions of the father on who they will pick for a future mate later on. This is not looking good. :(

    • hotsummerday says:

      I think Lauren is the one who needs therapy. She’s a mess. 24 years old and still demands to tag along after her brothers. Grow up and get a life!

  46. Ginger says:

    Keeping in mind it’s a TV show, I have to think they are following a formula here…there is always the one they pick apart. Now it’s Teresa. I have to wonder if Caroline realizes this and is the flag bearer of the Let’s Base Teresa Club because she is smart enough to know it’s good TV.
    As for Joe. T Stills isn’t facing the real issue with us. Joe didn’t say those things to her. But about her. To someone he lied about being work…. Teresa may be telling us the truth that they are working it out together. But if she can’t blog about the real issues that we already know from seeing the show then I have to wonder if she is facing the truth in her private life.
    Now for Kathy. Again its TV and she has to stay in the picture. When her own catering business didn’t spark much interest with the TV audience she has to do something. So why not worry about her relationship with T?
    About The hubby’s and Manzo kids being such a big part of the show. If the wives aren’t sparking the interest of the audience, I say bring on the spouses and kids! We’ve watched all of the Giudice kids since episode 1 so why not the Manzos and all the other families. I think we see more of the Manzos because they are more adult than the other children so more attractive to the demographics Bravo is trying to court.

  47. cats-eye says:

    Who is lynn Hudson,it sounds familar?

  48. Rosalie Marie, says:

    Gosh, I actually felt so sad for Teresa watching that episode. I felt sad for her because week after week we see this entire cast going after this woman and her children and now it’s as if her husband really hurt this woman (Teresa) who is His Own Wife And Beautiful Mother Of His Four Children, now teaming up and sticking the knife directly into her heart. This episode made me cry for her. How lonely she must have felt. Shame on all of them! Caroline is so damned pathetic and Kathy needs to go away. All the problems Teresa had to deal with and all these people, including her Own Husband have really stuck it to her. I personally think Teresa should take her four daughters and leave Joe. He’s No Good! He’s not in love with Teresa and she should leave him now while she’s still young and beautiful.

    • Rosalie Marie, says:

      Teresa has always put her husband on a pedestal above herself, and he degraded her on national television! He degraded his own wife!

      • Shipp says:

        T’s brother the Stump degraded her on national TV. He called her a bitch and a cunt, and told her to get fucked, fuck off.

        So…….They all talk that way. It must be in the black water.

        • Josh says:

          Justifying one bad point with another bad point from another family member does nothing. No woman deserves to be talked to like that, EVER. I don’t give a heck who you are.

          Teresa, you are beautiful, your personality is hilarious, and you are successful. You deserve better, in general, then what you are getting out of your “FAMILY” AND “FRIENDS”.

          • michers says:

            Josh you are right but I do not understand how some continue to only point out faults and cause arguments about what this guy said, when the others are clearly talking like trash to a woman, about women! Bashing JoeGi because of how he talked to T- but look what her own brother who is a “man”, husband, father, uncle has said on tv . He has never apologized. Rich Wakile- same thing. All of them have been a nightmare with their mouths about her and they are her family. I cannot believe how these men behave and speak. I cannot believe that their wives have excused it either ( but take time to bash T for her choices) see the confusion there? I can easily point out that their hubbies do the same as JoeGi. I have seen Gorga talk to Mel like shit. Not sure about Rich but I think it may be safe to say that if he has talked like this on tv constantly, Im sure Kathy hears a thing or two thats similar to what T does. And I agree with your comment about T!

          • jerseygirl says:

            What about how Joe Gorga speaks of his wife? He actually stated that he “OWNS” her. And has no problems putting her sexuality on display for $ – the mother of his children!

            Personally I find harsh words from a man on the edge being pushed further by a bunch of vindictive so-called friends and family, far less offensive than the way Joe Gorga treats his wife.

    • Rosalie Marie, says:

      To be honest, I am sort of stuck on this issue. If you watched Celebrity Apprentice, you see Joe supporting Teresa not once, but two times. The first time, he hussled his arse off to get the charity funds he collected on behalf of Teresa. The Celebrity Apprentice episode aired long after the phone call incident. Many things positive things happened in this last year between Teresa and Joe. Long After This Call Came To Light.

      I could be wrong to suggest that Teresa should divorce Joe. It’s her life and if she doesn’t divorce Joe, then maybe it’s because of the support he gave his wife.

      With this said, I still however, and will continue to believe that Joe does flip out every now and then and hits his wife. I don’t think he hits her everyday. I do believe that he has hit on her though.

  49. Really says:

    Joe Guidice behavior was wrong but I think that he is struggling with the fact that he is going through financial hardships and that Teresa is now bringing in the income. This is hard for men to accept. I also think that he has an anger issue with her from continuing to film the show knowing that they are going though hardtimes. His ego is torn and he prob do have a lady on the side that is making him feel needed not that its right but men need to be needed. I think the first few seasons showed the real Joe Guidce and he seemed like he absolutely adored Teresa!!! They seem like real people and not ones that are faking all the time for the camera!!!

  50. Josh says:

    I found it extremely disgusting how Richie was talking about Joe not even wanting Teresa in the bedroom, let alone the vineyard. If Teresa said anything like that about any of them, they would have her head.

    Poor Teresa, you deserve way more than you are getting from EVERYONE on this show…

    • michers says:

      Hey Josh, lol me again! Just posted to you above. That was a horrible comment and I don’t like how Kathy gets away with her “excusing” of it. So before the “toast” gate, they had talked, had fun, worked it out and Rich thought it so funny to say that? Didn’t look like he was kidding in his talking head!!! Kathy- moron! Rich- pig. If T said that, twitter would have blown up with insults and more personal digs from at least 3 out of those hags.

  51. Rosalie Marie, says:

    Regardless of what anyone here thinks, I will say that Joe Giudice’ clearly abuses Teresa physically and emotionally. I think he does beat on her. She’s always smiling and pretending to be happy because she’s hiding that she is being abused by him. I think she’s afraid of him and she’s afraid to leave him. I think she loves him, yes, but she’s afraid of the hot tempered coward.

    • socalsoccer says:

      Those are pretty serious accusations. I think Teresa could beat the crap out of Joe if she had to. I doubt she would stay in a marriage that was physically abusive.

    • jerseygirl says:

      I usually agree with you on things Rosalie Marie, but this one goes a bit far. There is no evidence. Plus, if there was even the slightest hint, don’t you think Bravo would have exploited the hell out of it?

      Look what the did to Russell Armstrong. That man was about to be crucified on national television with mere accusations. Bravo had no physical evidence but was running the storyline anyway. Even after he committed suicide.

      They got nothing so what do they do? Brovo pieces together one side of a patchy conversation and put out stories about it long before the episode airs.

      • Rosalie Marie, says:

        I hope I am wrong but I don’t think I am.

        • Rosalie Marie, says:

          I am not suggesting Joe goes off on Teresa daily, for no reason at all. I do think he has hit on her. I am not saying he’s a Russell and Taylor Armstrong. They were both explosive. What I am saying is I do believe Joe smacks Teresa every now and then when he loses his temper with her.

        • Bionic says:

          Projecting much?

      • Rosalie Marie, says:

        JerseyGirl, It’s always okay to disagree with me and I love your comments. Anyway, I know it’s a strong accusation but as far as evidence goes, we are not in court. Sometimes life teaches us things and when signs are clear, we don’t need to produce evidence to see someone has an aggressive temper. Joe has shown to have a bit of a nasty side and I have seen his kind many times growing up. I see my neighbor’s husbands and brothers in Joe. When I was growing up, men would believe their home was “His” castle. Men were really mean in my day. Joe has that sort of attitude. He’s a wife beater.

        • Shipp says:

          WHOA Rosalie, that’s a big piece of Pizza you’re putting out there. The more you say it the more people believe it. Not nice, and not true.

          I’m tired of assumptions. Nothing points to Joe being physically abusive.

          • Rosalie Marie, says:

            Okay…

            I Love Teresa. I Love Joe. I just love them all so much I could just scream it out loud.

  52. Tania says:

    I want to believe he was on a phone call with one of his workers and/or a man however 2 things that happened leave me with a women’s intuition feeling that it wasn’t either. First, Joe’s response to his question “what are you doing?” he had this “oh don’t tease me/something sexy was just said” laugh response towards whoever was on the other line and whatever was said. Also, if it was truly a worker and/or a man as he stated why would he suddenly switch to speaking in spanish in front of Teresa and say the person couldn’t understand english only after she walked up even though they were clearly conversing in english beforehand. I love Teresa and Joe has some good moments that can show his genuine side (like just before with his speech). I think Teresa’s women intuition was also kicking in. She is pretty laid back and normally doesn’t look any further into things but, even after Joe told her he had to take a call from his work, she got up and followed after him wanting to know who was on the phone. Also, as most women do, when they feel they are losing their man or feel threatened that there may be someone else, Teresa immediately flung herself onto him and tried to have sex. I truly feel for her and sad that this had to happen on national television :(

  53. DLL says:

    During the scene with Teresa and Joe off in the vineyard and everyone was stretching their necks trying to see what they were doing,one of them, can’t remember who maybe Rich or Jacqueline, said that Teresa was trying to make Caroline’s birthday dinner all about her.
    I think that Kathy making a big deal about not being included in a toast ended up making it all about HER! These people are such hypocrites, it just blows my mind!

    • michers says:

      It was Jac, and she is nuts so I tune her out. And yes, very full of hypocrisy, always is! Who cries and takes to twitter over a toast that was not mean? Caroline instigated that! Kathy would have said nothing if Caro did not!

      • holy cannoli says:

        I complete agree michers..Caroline was behind that bs, she planted that seed in Kathys head before dinner. Then when the toast was made, NO ONE thought anything was wrong with it, even freaking Greegy was surprised when Caroline did not lift her glass! Thats when they all decided( because Caroline insitgated the bs), that it was a slam against Kathy.. That was nasty and cruel.

        Caroline has been behind the bs from the beginging of the season, once anyone wants to let stuff go, move on, she is right there in that persons hear reminding them what trash she thinks Teresa is. It’s disgusting!

        Kathy in my opinion what not of thought anything of that toast if Caroline did not get in her head.

        BTW, what the hell was Teresa suppose to toast to Kathy for? And if she did, would Albie, Lauren, Albert, Christopher, Vito, etc be ofended because she didn’t toast to them? WTF? Teresa toasted that she loved everyone and they had a great week.. What more does any one freakin want?

  54. bambina says:

    What I have not read as yet on here at joe may be staying in jail for 5-10 years for his legal issues. Why Divorce him?. It would be worse for the Children. Daddy going away for his bad things are far better then the Cheating. I love Teresa she is a fighter and she is all ready making plans to stay on the show, then when Joe goes to jail. Do a spin off show showing all the details of his affairs and being a single Mom raising the childrenn alone. Charma is a bitch! Joe may have his problems now but Teresa will have the last say! My girl Tre is smart. Why have you babies think your the who did wrong. I think that the case! For the rest of the cast they know Tre is holding alll the cards and endless story line. The more Joe comes off as a jerk! The other cast members get angry full knowing Tre is going to the last laugh!

  55. Cajsa says:

    When Teresa dies someday in the future, I expect we will hear from Samantha and BBC and a few others that she died gracelessly and inauthentically. Her last words didn’t mention every person she knows and she only said goodbye to her husband and children – and she has a lot of nerve dying without getting rid of that husband first. There will be complaints about her makeup and the music for the funeral and relief that finally Melissa will be recognized as the real star that she always deserved to be now that she is out from under Teresa. Then, I suppose, she will go and piss on her grave.

    • Dubbalicious says:

      How right you are Cajsa!!
      Let’s not forget, she will have deserved it as well. Wink. Wink. :)

    • Shipp says:

      And the Skank will want to star in the Life Time movie about T’s life, hoping that George Clooney will be her co-star aka Joe Guidice character.

      Oh, and the will reading…….they all show up in red, even the men, to see if they can get their evil hands on anything T might have. Of course Chris Lurker will buy it all back and give it to T’s children.

      These people are pure evil.

      • Rosalie Marie, says:

        Shipp, you hit the nail on the head with that last statement regarding Chris buying it all back to give to Teresa’s children.

        There is nothing more sickening then to hear them say they were going to buy furniture for a family so he can help them out and return it to them.

        What stopped him then?
        Why would he want to brag about doing something good that he didn’t do?
        When you care about someone, and you were going to do something nice to help that friend in need, you don’t brag about it on national television. “Oh, I was going to give my friend so and so some food and money!”
        Also, Chris is on the show saying how he milked his entire life savings investing in blk water. He was also served with a lawsuit at the time for using Signature Apparel as a front to collect government money and bank loans.
        He really expects us to believe he wanted to buy Teresa’s furniture and give it back?
        Maybe he did plan to purchase her furniture, but I can promise you, he planned to keep it so he could rub in Teresa and Joe’s face!

        • Bionic says:

          $25,000 of his ENTIRE LIFE SAVINGS. That’s it? yet they drove a Bentley? Oh but yeah that was with scammed money from Jay-z.

  56. Gettin’ real sexual on this show – they all are. Melissa clued us in on the bus when she told Tre big money can be made from a sex film (too bad KimK and Paris didn’t cash in on theirs) and later on that day, Tre jumps on a disagreeable Joe, and begs for it…She’s jumped on him in every bed we’ve seen to no avail. How much of this is Bravo’s idea? If it is produced, I wouldn’t watch – there are types of scripted show on network. Oh – and to all, don’t believe Tre wrote her blog this month. It’s very well written though, too well written….nicki

  57. Rosalie Marie, says:

    During the incident where Joe is talking to the woman, he accidently screwed up and admitted he was talking to a woman.

    Watch it again and you’ll hear this…..
    Teresa walks over to Joe, “Who are you talking to?”

    Joe…”A worker, what the f do you want?”

    Teresa.. “why did you walk away?”

    Joe….. “What do you want me to do, talk to her! Then he caught himself saying, “HER” and quickly talks in gibberish.

    Watch the episode again. You will clearly hear him say “Her!”

    • Shipp says:

      Rosalie, I like you, but I’m not getting you this time. I can’t for the life of me hear “Her”.

      • Rosalie Marie, says:

        Shipp, I brought my brother and my own husband into this and they both heard it.

        No, they were not happy to watch it and frankly, they were pissed at me for forcing them to listen to it. lol

  58. Dale says:

    I feel really sorry in a way for Theresa, then again I don’t. She is always in denial or pretending to be. She is smart enough to make money at any cost. She has a problem with friendship’s, they really don’t mean a lot to her.
    Dina’s been glamoured by the vamp!!!

  59. Dale says:

    Does Dina want to be godmother that bad???
