Teresa Giudice Responds To Jacqueline Laurita’s Claims About Her Marriage!

RHONJ star Teresa Giudice took to her blog to respond to claims that her former BFF Jacqueline Laurita made when she said Teresa and hubby Joe live separate lives. Teresa also talks about Sunday’s episode and what she meant when she said she wants to see Melissa sing live!

“Hello Baby Dolls!

I’m still in Florida with Gia. She had a great weekend dancing with her T.R.U.E. dance team at the Monsters of Hip Hop Dance convention, and now we’re taking a day off to go to Disney! Great mommy-daughter time!

It was so fun to watch the Beatstock performances this week. I’m so proud of Gia! She worked so hard and she did so well on stage! I had goosebumps the whole time. I just can’t believe I have such a beautiful and talented daughter — four daughters actually! I’m so blessed!

Did you see her dad tearing up watching her? People love to talk about bad things, but I want to point out all the good you saw in Joe this week — the good I see in my wonderful husband every day, that his kids see every day. He’s a great father and a great man, my best friend, and an amazing partner. Did you see him ironing his own shirt? He may be old school Italian, but he is a modern guy when it comes to helping out with his own family — he jumps right in. He’s my rock, and I love him.

And no, we don’t lead “separate lives.” I have no idea why Jacqueline would bring up that rumor — she seems to love to bring up crazy rumors on camera about everyone else. Not very nice, and definitely not true. Joe still does and always has lived in our house (he’s never had a separate “work apartment” or anything), and he sleeps in our bed with me every night! Hello, I talked about our sex life non-stop for three seasons, and everyone told me to cut it out! Now that my kids are older, I try to not talk about it so much (I’ll leave that to Melissa and Joey now!), but believe me, Juicy Joe and I are happily married!

Another great thing about Joe? He let me take over his closet! Our house has hardly any closet space and my stuff spilled out of my closet into the one that had his clothes, so he was nice enough to move his clothes to the closet downstairs in the guest bedroom. Truth be told, I kind of took over the bathroom too, so he does a lot of his bathroom stuff down there too. That’s why Milania called it “his room,” but it’s just because of small closets and lots of make-up, nothing more!

I was also truly happy for Melissa’s performance at Beatstock too. I know she worked so hard for it, and it’s her dream, and I love to see people’s dreams come true. It takes a lot of guts to be out there on that stage! The year before, Caroline, Jacqueline, and I had to go on the same stage at Beatstock to introduce Pit Bull and Enrique Iglesias. It was the best night! Gia got to meet some rock stars, we got to hang out backstage, and we had the first few rows reserved. When Gia saw the kids dancing on stage, she said she wanted to do the same thing, and a year later, she did! Melissa and my brother were there in the audience that night too, and Melissa got herself up on stage in a year too! Amazing!

I was also serious when I said I wanted to hear Melissa sing without all the background vocals and auto-tune. It wasn’t meant as an insult in any way, I’ve just known her for eight years now, and I know singing is her passion, but I’ve never heard her sing! Isn’t that weird? I’m dying! I’m sure she’s really good! She’s never sung around any of us, just her own voice like at the piano at Christmas time or at a wedding or talent show or something. I want to be able to brag about how good she is, but I’ve never heard her! Maybe we can get her to belt something out at the reunion! That’s one thing you’ll never see me doing — I’m not a singer! Dancing yes, I can rock that, but singing, no.

As far as Milania’s little comments, no I don’t condone them and she got in trouble right afterwards. You never know what’s going to come out of a kid’s mouth, especially that kid! My kids have the blessing and the curse of being interesting enough that they’re shown on the show all the time, which means you get to see all the hilarious things they say and do, and sometimes the naughty things too. But please don’t judge them. They’re just kids, they’re really good kids, and they are raised to respect and love everyone in the family. You can see that by how they always greet their Zia Melissa and Zio Joe.

It was great to see everyone spreading their wings and getting support from their family and friends, from Melissa at Beatstock to the Manzos at the Fancy Food Show. Next week, you get to see how my friends and family support me at my book signing… sigh… I really don’t know why people can’t just be happy for each other, just show up to support and not throw nasty comments and digs in, especially while the event is going on! You’ll see what happens next week, but I was shocked by how Kathy behaved at my book signing. Shocked and very sad, but not surprised unfortunately. It’s been pretty obvious from the day she joined the show and decided to be a baker instead of a hairdresser that she was going after a new career, but there’s no reason to try and take down your family while you’re doing it.

When you watch the episode next week, keep in mind that Kathy’s mother and my mom are not related by blood. They’re not sisters. They were not raised by the same parents or taught the same things… Kathy’s mom is my dad’s sister and as you know, they didn’t grow up together either.

I’ve always been very open about how my mother taught me to cook and how I’m delighted to share my family’s recipes. My cookbooks are called “family” cookbooks. I don’t know why Richie and Kathy try to twist that, it makes no sense to me. I spell it out in every book. But they are MY family’s recipes, not Kathy’s family’s. I told this story in my second cookbook ‘Fabulicious: Teresa’s Italian Family Cookbook’ (with really cute photos of my mom as a little girl!) about how my mom was raised by her grandmother, who I was named after, since her mom died when she was very little. My great-grandmother taught my mom to cook and she passed down the recipes to me. I have no idea what Kathy and her mom cook since that’s their own family stuff. I’m sure it’s delicious, just like my family’s recipes are!”

Teresa makes a good point. I don’t get why the housewives can’t just support one another without throwing jabs! Just be happy-and move on! I can understand why Teresa would be upset with Kathy but we’ll just have to wait and see next week! It’s sad that Teresa’s former BFF Jacqueline can accuse someone of leading separate lives when they’d flip if Teresa did that! Thoughts on what T had to say?!

 

p.s. Interesting to see Jacqueline wait for Teresa’s blog to go up until she posts her’s..I mean we all know Jac isn’t busy and is home tweeting so it is expected

    Love me some Tre. She is class. Love my girl.

    • Mima says:

      Yep, I love how she keeps it classy but still finds a way to make true comments that burn: “work apt” LOL. I’m glad she’s realized that her so called friends & family are not happy about her success. They want her to fail, which has to be a sickening realization. It’s funny how the other 4 started out the season writing in their blogs about read between the lines, planting seeds: we are reading between the lines and we see all the seeds they’ve been busy trying to plan to no avail.

      • Andrea from Alabama says:

        I love her also, but I wish she’d not feed into those good for nothing cast mates of hers. It isn’t anyone’s business of where Joe sleeps or if Milania was punished. No matter what she says or does or don’t say or don’t do, the four wicked witches are going to find fault.

      • Hailiesmama says:

        Mima Work apartments. ROTFLMAO!!!!

        Lets just say, Joe cheated on her…

        Her bro exposed him in twitter.

        She still loves him, and is working it out privately, and showing good face outside the home…

        ok so, what is wrong w/ that? right ? If my husband cheated on me, & we decided to work it out, I might to kick ass to the Guest room, w/hold sex, until i don’t wanna punch him no more! Or maybe he just got drunk the night before, and T was like, go in the other room, im mad. We don’t know, its all soooo damn personal, and Jaqueline continues to show us what a dimwit big mouth plastic following drunk selfish, immature, backstabbing unloyal puppet she is!!!!!! Wtf does Chris see in her? he must be second guessing in his head!

        • Hailiesmama says:

          forgot to write my point, i’d too go and pretend we’re fine, in public, its no ones business untill you make it there business. T has learned not to make anything Jackos business.

          • Mima says:

            That’s exactly how I feel Hailiesmama, what business is it of Jac to go and blab her mouth and then has the nerve to wonder why Teresa doesn’t open up to her. Teresa has shown a superb amount of restraint and I wouldn’t blame her if she goes table flipping, weave pulling, bitch slapping mad at the reunion.

    • FREE KROY says:

      Yes, loves Tre. I admire, how she did not crumble in the mist of her storm. She kept smiling and started making money for her family. I hope Chris L does the same. He seems a little stressed to make the blk work. But, he will nto make the 250 million that he made with Roc a Wear peddling muddy water. For example Danille never seemed to bounce back after her divorce. The only other thing she did to make money was get on the show, I never say her start another career no create any products, ect. Loves Tre for that. Now that little sneaky Kathy. The way she tried to take credit for Tre’s family’s recipes was down low dirty. I really thought there mothers were sisters. But, Katy’s mom is her dad’s sister. Tre’s cook books are clearly about her mother’s side of the family. Kathy even went as far as to say “my mom, Tre’s mom, we all grew up together and they cooked in the same kitchen. She is sneaky. It is time to expose her and her “collar popping” husband.

      • Hailiesmama says:

        I agree to expose Kathy. I HATE passive Aggressive people. I cannot stand when I read people saying they feel she is the only nice one, or she is sweet, blah blah…. We all have a cousin like her. Not as pretty … Jealous… She is sneaky, i’ve got her number, and we should expose her, but lets not forget to continue on Mel and the loser crew.

        • hotsummerday says:

          This is worse than being passive aggressive. There is nothing passive about it. Kathy is a flat out aggressive, envious liar who wants to ruin Teresa’s book sales. The publisher should SUE Kathy for slander.

          Teresa is smart to stay away from Krazy Kathy.

    • Hailiesmama says:

      BTW I found this website. It’s a blog from before the RHONJ went to air, filming the first season. Read the viewer comments.

      Clearly the one defending the show is Lauren…

      Clearly the one bashing it claiming to be a family member… saying one of the hubbys are cheating is MELHOE herself.

      Read it, such a good find! please let me know what you think!!!

      Lauren was arguing w/ her, and now her family is not only buddy w/ her, but what they are arguing about, The Manzos are now guilty of as well. Who has changed from fame ????

      http://oncommonground.blogspot.com/2008/04/real-housewives-of-new-jersey.html

      • MsMaria says:

        Lol, the comment that sayd “live and let love” lol..that is sooooo caroline manzo’s quote right there! Lol

      • Say What?? says:

        This blog has made the rounds. Few months ago we all decided the one defending the family was Ashley not lauren. At one point someone .. i think it was Caroline, posted that it was her niece posting and she was defending her niece. They trash the brownstone there as well. MELISSA trashed the brownstone. Interesting right?

    • etta says:

      I adore Teresa.Maybe it`s time the other ladies take a lesson from her.She is an earthy lady,says what is on her mind,and loves her family.She does have more class then the rest of them and that is what really bothers the Dragon Lady and her followers.I have watched from season one and Gia is going for the spotlight because that is where she wants to be.Sorry Mel,Teresa is supporting her daughter`s goals not forcing her into it.Of all the Jersey kids I think Teresa`s are my favorites.They really are normal kids,yep they are spoiled but that`s kinda is normal.

  2. NonnaB says:

    I am so sick of Wacko Jacko and her comments. I’m so glad Tre concentrates on the positive and is happy – which must take a lot of strength when you have to be around such negative nasty people like the Manzoids and Laughing stock Lauritas.

    • hoolie says:

      I agreee Nonna- but what else would she be but positive. Mr. and Mrs. Gorga did a fine job in raising her with good Catholic values and a moral conscience. She obviously has been taught to focus on the good things and to pursue that, as opposed to trite behaviour and gossip.
      Yes, oh yes, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for her to blow up her blog and tabloids with all the dirt she has on the Manzo’s Laurita’s, Wakiles and her brothers family- but as I see it, she was raised to be LOYAL and NOT do those things. So go ahead Kathy, take low blow pot shots at her recipes to ‘further’ your endeavours. Meho- keep saying nasty shite on twitter about things…you reap what you sow. Whack- remember one thing YOU DO HAVE SKELETONS. Teresa may not surface those things, but someone will- YOU will reap what YOU sow in yammerings. And Chuckie… Oh Chuckie…hmmm we all know what is coming. As you say… BUCKLE UP

    • Rosalie Marie, says:

      Nonna, I am sick of all of their digs at Teresa.
      What really gets me are the weekly comments from these women telling us to watch the next episode when Teresa will be “exposed” for what she is.

      Every week I stayed tune and all I see are these four women and their girly husbands expose themselves for what they really are. Jealous!

  3. Lucy says:

    love this, love T. she manages to outshine them every week and she does not even need to lower herself into their drama. i thought her blog was great and she brought up some really great points.

    it’s sad that the other housewives are insanely jealous of T since her products dont even conflict with theirs. i dont buy BLK bc i think its gross, not bc i buy T’s cookbooks. if people like something, they buy it, be it muddy water or a great cookbook. ppl clearly dont like blk all that much and the manzo’s need to realize that and get over it.

    totally appalled by kathy’s behavior in next weeks previews. i think that really shows her true colors!

    they hate T’s fame, yet they keep talking about her, making her even more famous. silly rabbits!

    T – we love you, juicy, and the girls. keep being true to who you all are. you have a ton of supporters and i hope that makes your heart a little less heavy!

    • Someone Who Is Watching says:

      completly agree Lucy!

    • mariec says:

      I am boycotting QVC if Kathy gets a contract with them. She is a horrible person and horrible cousin. She knows exactly what she is doing when it comes to this family drama. I would never support anything that she does.

      • Hailiesmama says:

        a contract on QVC for what?

        I wouldn’t buy water from her if I were on fire!

        I can’t imagine her having a big fan base, and just a percent of them to buy her stuff.

        LOSER

      • hotsummerday says:

        Me too. But I don’t think QVC will sell Kathy’s products. Usually businesses have to have a track record before they get to that level.

  4. donnalee says:

    Like I posted earlier, if I want really GREAT pignoli cookies I can hop on a Train to Philly and get them from Termini’s. However, when I make them using Teresa’s recipe, they are even better! My Aunts who lived in South Philly made all kinds of Italian cookies for xmas every year. I have their recipes in a little box, I wonder if they stole them from Kathy’s mom?? Does she even realize how lame she is? If I want Chicken Bruschetta, I can drive 3 minutes from my home to the Trieste and get it. I also make Teresa’s and honestly my family likes that recipe better! I am sure if I were to ask, the Trieste makes theirs from their own recipe. I am 100% sure that they did not steal it from Teresa since they have been in business for 40 plus years! LOL! Only a total dumbass would fall for the idea that Teresa stole a recipe from her mom? How could she even do that? Unless, Teresa can read minds??? Kathy best get back to that hookah! LOLOLOLOL

    • bhurst girl says:

      ITA. I bet I have Italian Cookie or any recipe for that matter from my grandmother that is VERY similar to Tre’s family’s recipes. Does that make me related? Is she stealing from my family? HEY TRE!!! I WANT A CUT!!!!
      Recipes are not only passed from generation to generation, but are location specific too. In Italy, you will find many different types of cooking. Ingredients that they use in the North they don’t use in Sicily, and vice versa. So, it’s only logical that the recipes passed down to us are very similar in nature.

    • jen says:

      Oh donnalee you didn’t realize that Kathy’s mom was the first little italian lady making cookies? italians didn’t even know what dough was until Kathy’s mom invented it! Hell I think thats where my grandma got all her recipes from.

      • Haha Jen that’s funny. I’m Dominican. Thank God we don’t deal w much flour. Otherwise Kathy will b accusing us of stealing her recipes. Now! If she claims Plantains I’m all over that ass because it is known worldwide that Dominicans are the Plantain kings/queens :)

        • jen says:

          I’m sure if T writes a dominican inspired cook book Kathy will claim her mom also showed all dominicans how to make a proper plantain. LOL

  5. Sandra says:

    Jac is a disgusting hag!!!! Everyone is jealous of T’s success & trying to do anything & everything possible to beat her! Haha–they can’t!!! Me-ho can’t sing if her life depended on it. I don’t know many singers but the ones I know will sing on command to show just how great they are & don’t worry about saving their voice. Please lol give me a break! Kathy is nice but boring as hell!!! She’s trying to be like T but she neve will be.

    • jen says:

      jac hads some nerve talking about anyones relationship. i said it before and I’ll say it again. Chris Laurita will leave the relationship the same way he entered it! Figure that one out JAC-ASS

    • Hailiesmama says:

      Sorry, But there is nothing nice about a COUSIN claiming that ‘she’d never do a reality show. not to her children’.. and then SNEAK on it behind her back w/ PROMISES of taking her DOWN.

      There is nothing NICE about constantly talking about your cousin in a negative way, and hanging w/ and accepting people who do as well in your presence!!!

      THERE IS NOTHING NICE ABOUT TAKING JABS B/C YOU ARE SO JEALOUS INSTEAD OF SUPPORTIVE.

      Ok could go on, im sorry, but just so sick of people calling Kathy NICE. SHE ISN’T NICE AT ALL. What you see is a coward.

      Melissa doesn’t realize how obviously Jealous she appears to us b/c she is a SOCIOPATH who only sees things her way. her advantage.

      Caroline didn’t realize how obvious she was b/c she believes that we are DUMB, and will believe what ever she says is true!!

      Jacklyn doesn’t realize how obviously jealous she is b/c playing the VICTIM has always worked for her, and getting drunk, crying, and having everyone say u r right has clouded her mind.

      Kathy doesn’t realize how obviously jealous she appears b/c she thinks if she smiles, and is careful and calculated about what she says out loud, and if she kisses everyones ass, until they think she is wonderful, she could appear cool, but making moves in a PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE WAY.

      she is the sneakiest of them all. The rest are full of them selves, and under estimated us, which shows how dumb they really are, but Kathy, she is trying to play us. uh ah

  6. Ashley says:

    Kathy is jealous because she wants to branch out in the same brand as Teresa but she does not have Teresa’s personality or people appeal.

    • renee says:

      Ditto, I also think kathy is jealous because her family is not as traditional and authentic as T’s family is. Her mother was raised apart from the rest and therefore does not have the same upbringing. I’m sure there is resentment because they can’t claim to be the authentic Italian family with all of the Italian traditions that teresa and her parents carry. Teresa’s mother has recipes and traditions that were passed to her from her mother and she has passed them on to her daughter. Teresa and her parents speak Italian and carry on the food as well. I can see where some jealousy would creep up on Kathy’s end. Obviously there was some envy on her part because she to went on the show behind t’s back and has bashed her from the begining. So why would it suprise anyone here that Kathy is not all envious of Teresa’s authentic Italian heritage? Teresa’s parents seem to carry a lot of old ways especially with the making of the sauce and they way they have carried themselves on and off camera. Not only that but I think people see Teresa as a very authentic Italian girl from the neighborhood who is breaking out with style and class. She has a look and charisma about her that is so likeable. You add in those girls and juicy joe and it just makes this family that much more interesting and people want to see more of them. Not Kathy, Caroline, Jacko, or Melissa have anything really interesting that people want to see every week. Bravo knows it and so do they. Their only way of lashing out over their jealousy is to try to make teresa and her family look bad every chance they get. I find it amusing that the harder they try the more successful she becomes. The more people want to relate to her and see her succeed. Funny how that works. Anyways thats my two cents. Also Jacko has lost all credibility and now it’s just pathetic to see her humiliate herself with every blog and tweet!

      • maribel brown says:

        I agree with 90% of your thoughts … to be fair, I do believe Kathy does carry an authentic italian tradition, not to mention an amazing story as told by her mom a few episodes ago…yes, kathy unfortunately is the same brand as Tre in terms of business goals, what is killing kathy is the lack of understanding of the market being big enough for both of them…her competitive ways is taking the best of her, it makes her look envious ( true or not, she looks that way) passive aggressive and unappealing…not only does Kathy have her baking skills but also an infusion of her recipes and Richie’ s own cultural background…if her approach on the show was different, she had a shot..too bad for her and her ventures…

  7. strevino78741 says:

    This is why I love T! Week after week she keeps it positive and yes sometimes she says things she shouldn’t but no one is perfect. I do think the other wives are all jealous of her she is the breakout star of the show but instead of being bitter they should rise above it and be happy. I am really looking forward to this season being over and Teresa and her family getting a show of their own!!!

  8. charay says:

    Loved it. Tre is classy in every way; I’m not sure why people hate her. I don’t! Read between the lines my ass Tre is the realist one on the show. And shame on anybody who bash her kids! I can’t wait till the reunion

    • Matilda Brown says:

      ITA – it sounds to me like she is over them. The way she can compliment Melissa on her performance shows a level of maturity the other women don’t seem to have. She’s not seething with bitterness, just making her points but keeping it classy.

      and her children? they are sooooo beautiful – T posted a pic of Audriana today that is precious. Those gorgeous eyes – I really hope she gets a spinoff cuz I could watch those kids all day :)

  9. bhurst girl says:

    Loved the comment about Joe not having a separate apartment….

  10. Lola says:

    I’m at the point where I only read Teresa’s blog now…everyone else’s is the same thing “blah blah blah Teresa blah blah blah”.

  11. jk says:

    I got the impression Chris must have a separate “work” apartment by her comments. Innnnnnteresting…

    • bhurst girl says:

      I think she was referring to the apartment over the Brownstone, since Caroline was on the talk circuit bashing her earlier in the week.

    • Maggs says:

      I think Teresa was referencing Al Manzo and his separate “work” apartment at the Brownstone, the one he was busted for and fired by the Governor of New Jersey, lol

    • Vee says:

      I’m pretty sure she was talking about Albert Manzo and his apt at the Brownstone. She’s a class act for leaving it at that because after he ran his mouth on this

      • Vee says:

        Ugh sorry

        Past episode I wouldn’t be so kind :)

      • Deb says:

        EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT. SHE HAS NEVER SAID UNKIND THINGS ABOUT THEM AND SHE COULD. I REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND THE GRUESOME 4SOME,THEY ALL HAVE CRAP IN THEIR LIVES BUT THEY ONLY WANT TO TRASH T AND JUICY.WHAT ABOUT WACKOJACO’S FINANCE’S? WHY DIDN’T SHE TELL T ABOUT THEM. CAROCLOWN SHOULD TALK ABOUT HER OWN PROBLEMS. HER BROTHER LOOKS LIKE HE IS REALLY WORRIED,AND HER GROWN BABY HUEY SONS AREN’T HELPING MATTERS.I AM SO SICK OF ALL OF THEM I THINK THEY ARE RUINING THE SHOW.OH AND BY THE WAY I DON’T THINK ANY OF THEM COULD EVEN BUY FRIENDS!!!!

  12. Kay says:

    I haven’t seen this weeks episode yet (I have to wait til its been uploaded on the web as I live in England) but what did Miliania say? I love that child, she’s hilarious.

    What I love about Tre is that she addressed the rumour about her and Juicy living separate lives without making the whole blog about it OR bashing Jac which her blog we all know is gonna be about Tre… despite saying a few weeks ago she was letting all that go.

    • Maggs says:

      Milania said “Melissa stinks!” about her singing, lmao

      • jen says:

        I think she meant M smells bad too. Sorry, but that b*tch is always greasy looking. Someone needs to teach her proper hygiene. Like showering every day with soap.

        • Matilda Brown says:

          I know right? I always get the feeling she smells like a hoagie.

          Milania knows whats up . . i’d believe what she says over Meho ANYDAY!!

  13. MOMMAHURLEY says:

    As far as the kids… you all know my background by now, in the field of Early Childhood Education, Child Development, and Special Education…. and I can say without the slightest hesitation, that the way her children behave is very normal and isn’t tied at all to what they hear or see. Children at the age of 4-6 have no filter… they say whatever they think, and the understand irony and scarcasm… but they don’t think first or plan what they say…it just pops out! Milania is a “feisty” temperament. Which means she will always have a tendency to be the bravest, most honest, most active and speak her mind the most, of all of Teresa’s kids. Feisty kids learn all of the rules of behavior eventually but they do get scolded a lot in the process. They are usually the most successful and most determined. By age 7-8 they have learned to think before they speak, and this is the age that lying first appears prevalently. Planning what they say to achieve an outcome. Empathy and respect are things that don’t happen till much later in a child’s development. You can teach them what to say, and when to be quiet, but they do it either, to win your praise, or avoid consequences…not because it’s the right thing to do. That comes much much later.

    That said. I think Jacqueline’s comments are outrageous, and only reflect on her own lack of a moral compass, not on Teresa. Teresa still continues to live her life, while Jacqueline is consumed with jealousy and spite. It only highlights why it’s a great thing that this so called friendship is over, because Jacqueline obviously doesn’t understand what it means to be a friend.

    Kathy… I really dont’ understand her. She’s a great baker…fine. do it then. Teresa’s success doesn’t hinder yours. There are thousands of cookbooks, and bakers out there… and none of them hindered Teresa’s success. If any of these women aren’t making a go of their ventures, blame themselves not Teresa. It’s immature and dillusional to blame someone else for you own lack of success. Whatever that IT FACTOR is, that makes everything Teresa does a success, they simply don’t have it. It’s something lacking in them, not anything Teresa is doing to them. Teresa doesn’t talk about them.. or do anything to them. But they cannot talk about anything else!

    • Maggs says:

      ^^^This EXACTLY!!

    • Maggie says:

      And Kathy was all, “We call all be successful. There are millions of stars in the sky and blah, blah, blah . . .”

      I guess she was happy to come up with that one for Teresa but can’t see it in herself!

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      You’re spot on. As parents we stress being truthful to our kids, and they usually are. I sometimes feel bad when we, as parents, punish our kids for doing what we say- I’ve caught myself doing it, gotta make a mental note. I liked Milania from day one and I think she gets a bad wrap and I hate that. When I see Teresa kids I do smile because I see innocence and honesty with them. I work with juvenile offenders and by the time they make it to me, God help them. I initially missed Sunday’s episode because I was called in to deal with one. But you’re right with everything you said.

      • BravNo says:

        I agree. Anyone with kids especially outspoken ones know that cringeworthy stuff can come out of their mouths at anytime. I also know as a mom how much I would hate it if the few times my child was acting up we’re played over and over on tv, but the majority of time when they are nice was not. I am convinced of 2 things, first, that Bravo loves to alter reality by turning the cast into caricatures Jacqueline the drunk, Caro the bull dog, Lauren the fat girl, Ashley the lazy party girl, Joe Guidice the criminal…..secondly they do this while also diminishing the same behavior in other cast members . I think it’s lame when they do it with the adults, inexusible when they do it with the kids. Turns out Al Manzo, Chris Manzo, Albie Manzo, Chris Laurita, an Joe Gorga have been or still are in trouble with the law, yet Bravo chooses to focus on their legitimate business while honing in on Joe Guidice only. I am sure the Gorga kids and the Laurita kids have had their naughty moments, but we see none of that only Milania. Lots of people drink to excess, like at the christening, the pool parties, Chris Manzo threw up for Pete sake, but Jacqueline is getting the drunk cut. Note to Bravo your contrived edits, and scripting is getting so old.

  16. @KathyWakile I am SAD @ ur comments abut @Teresa_Giudice #1 cookbook = ur actions seem staged n petty?

    • michers says:

      Yes they do. The more she teamed up with the wicked ones, the more inauthentic Kathy became.

      • LifeIsGood says:

        I think that the more she teamed up with the “wicked ones”, the more she let her guard down – I think we are seeing the “authentic” kathy for the first time.

        I do remember T saying statements to the effect of “trust me, I know Kathy” She has implied all along that Kathy was being fake.

        • hotsummerday says:

          I agree. Kathy is fake.

          You know what I find funny. Kathy is a hairdresser, but Teresa is the one coming out with shampoo and hair care products. LOL

          • LifeIsGood says:

            I didn’t think of that!!

            The sad part is, Kathy’s desserts look great and I think she has real talent. But I would never buy a cookbook of hers because I would see it as condoning her behavior.

            Imagine the book that she and T could have produced if kathy weren’t such a snake! Very sad.

    That video of Melissa performing, towards the end they show a shot of the crowd from the stage and the 10,000 people that had been there must of left. I almost wonder if she performed when it was over since she wasn’t even listed as a performer

  18. Mrs. R says:

    Love that Teresa’s books sold out and that she signed Andy’s books.

    I wonder if that will change his views on her?

  19. Samantha says:

    As always, she’s way off on this. No one’s judging her kids, we’re judging her parenting. She’s teaching her daughters to hate and belittle members of her own family.

    • Samantha says:

      I love how she absolves herself of all responsibility, even for this.

      • CatCan says:

        Then I’m sure you will agree and judge Jacqueline’s parenting skills as BAD BAD BAD. The way Ashlee has treated, spoke and acted towards her family and others is terrible. But Jacqueline has NEVER EVER taken responsibility for Ashlee’s behaviour. It’s never been her fault that Ashlee turned out this way. Isn’t this correct?

        • Samantha says:

          The topic at hand (mine, anyway) is that Teresa is training her children to despise and ridicule their aunt out of spite and jealousy on her part. The very worst part of this, imo, is that the girls sincerely love Melissa but have to pretend differently for their mother’s sake.

          If you want to discuss Ashlee, you’ll have to catch me another time. I haven’t used “But what about what SHE did?” as an argument since I was twelve.

          • lydia says:

            Most of us don’t give a s#it about what you think Sam.

          • Moni says:

            I like it when we are all objective. Are all the negative comments only about Teresa?

            They all have issues, I just like when it’s not so one-sided.

            Why can’t we talk about Jac again?

          • CatCan says:

            I’ll have to catch you another time??? Ha Ha. Because you know what I say is 100% accurate. Run away coward! (just like your favourite Melissa once said – please appreciate the irony LOL).

          • RahRah says:

            selective aren’t we!!

            if it is good for one, it is good for the other, dig!

        • michers says:

          Jac is just a bad joke that Im still waiting on the punchline for! I guess that a drunk tweeting nervous breakdown always waiting to happen is acceptable to one person’s society on here! People are really bothered so much that Teresa outshines the lame fakes so much that they stoop to picking on her children. It really is funny to read the anti-Teresa comments because all you have to do is realize what Jac, Melissa, Kathy, Caro, etc stand for and argue about while T has been none of those things! Never a stripper, or even alleged stripper. She is not ever a drunken public fool, she owns her family issues and has tried to work on them ( Hey Caro just how many siblings do you talk to or show respect for out of 11?) Anyway, the list is endless for her supporting actresses and their families….It really is becoming comic relief at times, although I can’t see why anyone on here would continue to degrade minor children! Explains a lot about their personal character traits doesn’t it? Back to the topic: Teresa is not a bad mother, and if you know how to read /comprehend what you read, you can see she states she disciplines her children. Bravo edits what they want us to see, and sticking with the theme for the season, they are choosing to show her children say their feelings at times for Auntie Missy.Should Mel being hung on a stake for allowing her child to punch his dad on tv? Uh oh- maybe that means he lives in an abusive home? I mean if he hits people like that on tv. is he “living what he is taught” also??? See, its easy to pick on parenting, however, I would not! The sexual scenes do that on their own…

    • NonnaB says:

      Oh my Ashlee you better come again. Who teaches their children it is alright to belittle and make fun of people. Your own family belittles you and makes fun of you constantly. I feel sorry for you.

      • Samantha says:

        LOL! Now I’m Ashlee? Yesterday you thought I was Lysa! And the day before that…

        • Lola Falana says:

          Hi, Nathania!

        • Yankeegirl says:

          Samantha..if you don’t agree with the tre loving you MUST be a relative to Jac or Mel. Because it’s just not realistic that anyone would disagree with them.

          I wonder why Tre has to justify every bad comment that these nutty woman on the show say about her or even the ones her little girls say. Seems if it makes her look off or bad..time to justify. If she is secure and truly knows how it is…why does she care what the wacko woman say?

        • RahRah says:

          something is wrong with you, keep upholding evil and destruction.

    • Daisy says:

      That’s absolutely absurd to say that Teresa is teaching her children to hate and belittle family. Based on what? A flippant comment from a little girl? Get a grip!

      Her girls are lovely, spontaneous and a little cheeky at times. That’s normal child behavior.

      Teresa is a wonderful mom and it’s cruel to suggest anything less than that.

      • Samantha says:

        More than one comment. And it is not cruel to suggest that Teresa is “anything less than a wonderful mom.” That’s just plain silly.

        • littlegoobie says:

          When Milania called Joe Poop did that come from T too? LOL

        • Andrea from Alabama says:

          It is so cruel to judge parenting, especially while you yourself are not a parent. In fact, have you found someone that sticks around AFTER the blow job? For you information parenting is a very difficult thing, that does not come with a How To Guide. So, STFU You idiot. Those kids are good girls, but most importantly their minor children. You ignore Melissa and Jacqueline’s treatment of their kids, do us all a favor and overlook Teresa. In fact take your stalking add somewhere and get a clue. #Hatingasstrollbitch.

          • Samantha says:

            Again, you miss the point. This has nothing to do with the children. It has to do with the fact that her mother is an idiot.

          • Samantha says:

            *their* mother is an idiot.

          • Hailiesmama says:

            Melissa heard rumours her & Joe party (drugs too) w/ there kids present.

            We saw them party at the shore, and almost drown Antonia.

            Y r her kids afraid to talk? is is b/c they know no one cares?

            Anyone notice the only thing Melhoe didn’t want to one up T w/ was a 4 or 5th child. She is too selfish, and not a good mom. She isn’t attentive. she was getting her makeup done and poor Antonia was filling her own goody bags. She is never cuddling or smiling at her kids. unless it relates to her, like a hat she picked out, or a party she threw. Mellissa is such a bad mom. Her sisters are so ugly. one of them has a gay husband. Who cheats in gay bars. How happy can she be? thats why they hate T. Atleast if her hubby does cheat it’s w/ women. Atleast she isn’t a beard like u girls. Atleast she doesn’t have to work over time impressing hubby to keep the gold like mel the gold digging stalker. HEY MELHOE HOW IS BUTCH?

          • RahRah says:

            yeah. cause I feel sorry for Asslee and Lauren, not T’s girls.

          • Crystal says:

            Samantha, we are talking beyond idiot when it comes to Teresa…..she has the IQ of a rock…I’m actually embarrassed for her when she opens her mouth!

        • RahRah says:

          nobody is perfect and I accept her for what I see and what she writes. you would do well to follow Teresa’s path, she is successful as a mother, wife and business woman and that is my truth. This is good vs. evil now, I choose goodness you choose evilness.

          I would never support the Manzo/Laurita businesses because of their fanbase like you attacking Teresa.

          If donald Trump likes her why would I care about what you think or post, get lost puhleez.

    • Maggs says:

      In Melania’s defense Melissa does stink. She was just being honest

    • Marz77aus says:

      Get over it, kids are kids, they say what they want with no filter. It does not reflect on Teresa’s parenting in any way. If that is the case we are all guilty of being bad parents. I see nothing love showered on those kids by Teresa. I can’t tell you about Melissa’s kids because we dont ever see them. Apparently it’s illegal to film soft porn in front of minors so they must be with the nanny when RHONJ is filming

    • Happy day says:

      This coming from Samantha, Melissa’s family, who bully and insult these little girls every chance they get. Disgusting behavior you try to justify Samantha and no one is buying it. We just pity people who attack children like Melissa’s sisters. Melissa and Joe have beautiful children and it is so nice to see Tre’s classy fans who value family and respect children never, ever attack those kids like you do to Tre’s children.

      • Samantha says:

        Who exactly is attacking children? I was doing no such thing — I was attacking Teresa’s parenting. As a mother, she stinks.

        • Samantha says:

          And you know she only made that dig about Al Manzo because he called her psycho husband stupid LOL!

          • Samantha says:

            And it never fails to amaze me how Teresa can take any topic under the sun and turn it into an attack on her, her parents or her children. She uses this ploy at every given opportunity. It’s absolutely nauseating.

          • RahRah says:

            shit, Al is stupid, he lied to Gov Christie about his actual residence for graft.

        • RahRah says:

          apparently your mother stinks too because you sound like an idiot youself. Jac is drunken lush around her kids but have never seen T drunk.

      • renee says:

        SAMANTHA is a weirdo wouldn’t pay much mind to this psycho

        • RahRah says:

          why won’t she go away? is she being paid?

          • Matilda Brown says:

            i don’t get why “Samantha” continues to post on here. She clearly enjoys stirring up shit but why?

            Clearly she has an agenda and is close to the “others” or why would she care?

            I mean, what about the rest of my fellow posters on here? didn’t you (like me) check out other sites and the ones that you agreed with the most is where you tend to go. The sites that I don’t agree with, I don’t go there! Why would I want to?

            But see . . I don’t have an agenda. Just a Jersey girl and a fan who thinks T is the greatest and enjoys talking about it with others :)

          • michers says:

            Matilda, I agree!!

          • michers says:

            I wish I had the answer, lol

          • Samantha says:

            You want a world where everyone agrees with you. Sounds very much like Teresa. This pretty much sums up why she has no friends and most of her family wants nothing to do with her.

        • Melissa's Forehead says:

          Can you guys use common sense and just ignore Samantha for once?

    • jerseygirl says:

      “We’re judging”, huh? Who are we? Up to this point in the thread the only people critiqued for judging Teresa’s kids have been Jac, Caroline, Kathy and Melissa. Now I’m wondering which one you might be.

    • Hailiesmama says:

      I have family members who are SNAKES like your sister MELHOE.

      I keep my child away from them b/c i’d rather she never have them in her life, then to have trusted them b/c I let her trust them, and have them stab her in the back like they will one day!

      That is called protecting your kids.

      I think they didn’t correct their kids right in that second, b/c they recognize that the kids don’t trust her, and that is a good thing ‘samantha’ .

      BTW; DID ANYONE ELSE SEE MELHOES SISTERS CRYING WHILE SHE PERFORMED? I THOUGHT THEY LOOKED SOOO DAMN UGLY. RIGHT? lol

  20. Daisy says:

    It’s time Teresa got her own show. I love her and her family. Her girls are adorable and very entertaining. Kathy and Melissa are so filled with jealousy and greed that they would sacrifice family unity to get ahead while stepping on Teresa on the way up. Trouble is I doubt very much they will find success as that relies on fans of the show liking them enough to want to support their work, and I don’t see them being as popular as Teresa. The more I see of them, the less I can even tolerate viewing them on the show. They disgust me.

  21. PandaBear says:

    What I don’t get is all this attention from the other HW bashing Teresa. They clearly want to pimp their own wares, whatevs thats what HW is about now. But everytime the camera was in my face I’d be talking about my own stuff not Teresa. I would not give over my platform to shill my stuff for anyone.

    Say if I wanted to sell salad dressing, every scene there would be a PandaBear brand salad dressing in the shot. If I wasn’t talking about it, I’d be eating a salad or discussing how healthy it is to make your own salad dressing, and how I got my daughter to eat salad because of these dressings. You couldn’t get me to shut up about it. I’d have no time to talk about someone else’s marriage, because that doesn’t include lettuce, lol.

    Honestly I don’t think Teresa or any of the other HW should have to defend their husbands. If they love them, awesome. Same with Alexis. You love your man and he loves you, that’s all that matters anyone else’s opinion, positive or negative doesn’t matter.

    I’ll ask this again, why do these women with so much money have nothing better to do than to hate on others. I’m sure I could locate a few soup kitchens in NJ that would be happy to have Jac volunteer during the day. A charity or two that helps the disabled, foster kids, puppies? There are sooooo many other things that she could be doing that would not only help others but help herself see past this petty bitterness that seems to consume her.

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      Spoken like someone with a brain. You get the point of doing these shows. Pretty soon Teresa will be able to fire her publicist, she has four dumbasses that’s on her show that couldn’t keep her name in the press more if they tried. If I were on the cast with her and I was doing an interview and they asked me about Teresa I’d say, let’s not talk about her. But what does these idiots do? Talk talk talk Teresa. Tell me again why Teresa is always getting offers to do more and more cookbook, other shows, endorements, and magazine covers? Because she uses her platform to promote herself. Not only does she know the game, but she knows how to okay it. Pretty soon she’ll be making up her own rules.

      • PandaBear says:

        Exactly, I’m actually shocked that she hasn’t already refused to film with the cast because without her there is no show so Bravo would either cancel, which isn’t going to happen, change the rest of the cast or give Teresa her own show. How idiotic is it to make the show about someone you hate by talking about them non-stop?

        At least on ATL with Kim and Nene hating each other they didn’t really talk about each other.

        • Andrea from Alabama says:

          say what you please about Nene Kim Teresa and even Bethany, but Those bitches are laughing all the way to the bank because they do them. They gossip and say petty shit about the others, but they make sure it’s common knowledge that they think only of themselves. Some may call it narcissistic, I call it smart.

    • RahRah says:

      thank you smart person but they just don/t get it.

      the only thing I remember from week to week is how disgusting their behavior and comments towards Teresa.

      Sounds like next week Kathy gets downright niggardly at Super T’s book signing.

  22. michers says:

    I like what she has to say. She is very concise and to the point when defending herself constantly. I really admire how, under fire from everyone, she still does not get nasty or vicious with her responses. I had hopes for some of the others , a year later, that they would at least show some personal growth on twitter and/or their Bravo blogs. I do not think we ever will see that! Im so happy fro Teresa that she has taken the high road when it comes to addressing everything. I do not think I will ever understand how all of them had a hand in trashing her , her marriage, and her children and they continue to so and make pathetic excuses as to why! The show has become worse t hen a soap opera mixed with disgusting displays of poisonous affection. It has also become a playground fro adult sized kids who make a mockery of everything at their disposal. The so- called adults/spouses are very self absorbed and become more hypocritical, while truly believing we do not see and hear things ourselves!!! None of them, not ONE of the other cast members and their family members are exempt from illegal activities, or other things they try to peg on Teresa and Joe! It appears also that some of their legal woes may actually be worse than T and Joe’s! It blows my mind how they sit home or on this show acting like they have the cleanest closets, if you will.

    • michers says:

      Geesh, FOR. typos, excuse please.

    • cammierari says:

      completely agree michers! What kind of people are so unhappy for someone else’s success that they have to try and tear them down constantly?? I can’t imagine acting like jac week after week in blogs and on twitter, slamming a former best friend in any way possible, all the while saying that you want her out of your life! Teresa has done what Jac wanted-she is out of her life-and Jac STILL won’t shut up. Teresa has done what her friends and family asked her to do-gone to therapy, moved on, apologized (more than once), un-friended them, concerned herself with her OWN business…and still they slam her. But the REALLY weird thing is, the entire cast and some of the public STILL think Teresa is the evil one! It boggles my mind

      • mariec says:

        IT’S BECAUSE THEY DON’T WATCH THE SHOW AND HAVE ONLY SEEN A COUPLE OF EPISODES AND WHERE T FLIPPED THE TABLE. IF THEY SAW THESE LAST TWO SEASONS, THERE WOULD BE AN OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT.

    • RahRah says:

      She really has a lot of class and dignity. And she is refreshing to watch.

  23. Amanda says:

    Love Teresa! Period.

  24. Andrea from Alabama says:

    Loved how Teresa pulled out the bullhorn to call out Kathy- good for you Teresa. I was wondering why she was bragging about doing everyone’s hair and then became Martha Stewart all of a sudden. I’m glad Teresa called out that phony. And if Rosie something to say she can grab Ritchie and they can both go scratch.

  25. mariec says:

    I would love to see Teresa on Dancing with the Stars! I would NEVER support Kathy or any other of the treacherous backstabbers (Melwhore, Carowhine, Wacko Jacko) and don’t even get me started on their husbands. Ugghhhh….. Kathy recently had a meeting with QVC and I seriously hope they don’t have her on their programming. BOYCOTT QVC if Kathy is there! I really think that someone other than Andy needs to moderate the reunion. He doesn’t ask questions that people want serious answers to. If ever any of y’all get a chance, see bravotv.com clips; you’ll find that the gorgas wanted the spotlight so badly…joego even said it plainly, “see, I can share the spotlight…Teresa?” If that doesn’t explain their intentions for the show, then I don’t know what else among the plethora of facts and uncovered lies will.

  26. mariec says:

    ROXY…IS THERE ANY WAY AT ALL, WE CAN UNCOVER THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GORGAS AND GET THAT GODFATHER TYPE VIDEO OF THEM PROCLAIMING TO BRING TERESA DOWN???

    PLEASE PEOPLE….DEMAND IT FROM BRAVO. I AM SO DYING TO SEE IT AND I AM SURE I AM NOT ALONE. PLEASE.

    ROXY PLEASE ANSWER.

  27. U can't hide stupid says:

    I don’t understand how Melissa can say she doesn’t tell people who writes Tre’s books or whose recipes they are – she’s made several ridiculous comments last seasons like “I never tell…” wje she’s driving in the car w joe and the camera. lol. Phony

    Kathy I’m surprised at. Being married into an “all four sides” Italian family I can tell u there’s tremendous claims on whose sauce (we call it gravy, but I’m told not all Italian families call to,are sauce gravy) is the best. My mother in laws is the best. THE BEST. Did I say that loud enough for her to hear in heaven? I’m not Italian, but even I knew that before the precana with the priest I asked my future MIL if she would show me “how to feed her son” were my words. She got a huge smile on her face and said, “oh face Bella, you use the phone and you dial for the take in”. My fiancé hid his laughter as his sister and their husbands joined in. I didn’t quite understand. So my SIL helped. She said, “you’re Irish. It’s best u not try to cook”. Hahahahaha. I laughed and said, “really? But mama Nona i want to make your son happy. I’m sure I could learn to cook one or two things”. She hadn’t a clue that my father had taught me to cook or that I had a gravy passed down from my stepmothers great grandmother that I made quite often. She saw I laughed with their joke and still asked for her help regardless. She said, “come, I show you”. That began two of my favorite family traditions 1) making fun of my being non-Italian, and 2) spending hour after hour with her in her kitchen learning to cook and talking over coffee & pastries. I grew to love and respect my MIL tremendously. She never wrote things down and told me to do the same. She said, “that way u cook from the heart – with love for the people you’re feeding”. I’d quickly write notes in the bathroom and ONI the way home. But u know, she was right – I cook those same dishes today without a note. Everyone knows who made it – and whose recipe it was.

    One day, her husbands sister came over and offered to teach me a few things. Sitting between the two women, I declined. When I left the room I hear my MIL say to her SIL “why would u do that? Would I ever ask ur DIL if she wanted to learn my dishes”. That day I learned what Teresa has known all along. There is a purity in the passing down of food knowledge, a lineage. To pollute that

    • Indigo says:

      Wow that was an amazing story. I loved it!

    • Calzoned says:

      So beautiful, U! I come from a long line of “Gravy Italians” and we can tell who-made-what just by looking at a dish! The matriarch teaches everyone how it’s done, and that’s that. It’s then passed down through the generations. Teresa has it right. I don’t think that Italian/American culture is understood enough by the mainstream to “get” a lot of the dynamics of the NJ franchise, and that’s where the jealous, greedy hags and their families in the cast hoped to twist and exploit Teresa’s family to their advantage. It ain’t working with those who “know”. And…I have to add that in my family, there’s a LOT of looking down noses when it comes to food. Your kitchen’s dirty? We don’t touch it. You can’t cook? We’ll make fun of you then hug you. You get too fancy? We’ll take you down, too! It’s all good — and nobody outside of US has to like it.:)

    • jen says:

      We call it gravy too

  28. U can't hide stupid says:

    Purity with someone else’s recipes, no way!

  29. IMO says:

    build a marble McMansion and then have no room? seriously??? I call bullshit!!!!. As for her ‘family’ recipes. I’m Italian 100%. Those aren’t family recipes, they’re basica Italian recipes that most of us Italians know how to make. A little ingredient change once in a while, that’s it. Most old school italians cook the same things. She can’t let it go, she defends yet she gives that dig. If it wasn’t for this feud, nobody would be watching the show. She needs this to keep going. It’s the only way she’s going to stay relevant. Do people seriously think that apehead could carry a show of her, whining and driving 3 undisciplined kids around as she’s trys to pimp them out so they can be ‘famous’ like her. She certaining isn’t a Kardashian but wouldn’t put it past her to exploit it it brings her a buck and more twitter ‘family’.

    • Indigo says:

      Who are you talking about? Do you even know what’s going on in the show. You sound like you just tuned in. Better English so we can follow you, please.

    • michers says:

      WRONG on many levels, of course. IMO, you should rethink before you type! If your gonna try and come hard about hating on a mother and her kids, start over. BTW- no one here that is a normal person, likes trashing little kids. Don’t be jelly thatT has 3 bestselling cookbooks either. Im 100% Italian also and your point your trying to make is heavily misguided along with your bitterness.

      • IMO says:

        It’s a damn cookbook, not a Pulitzer for Christ sake. As a previous poster stated, she took old world recipes and had them printed off. Did you miss the episode with her grocery shopping with the kids (where apehead things it’s funny that you’re kids is hanging all over a food cooler and falls inside) Would you let your kids do what she allows hers to get away with? and laugh about it while pretending to be mad? along with a lot of other examples if so that’s why you have disrespectful kids with no boundaries. The fact that now that she’s a‘famous’ and ‘best selling author’ the only one on one time is when you drag them with you to an event to promote or you make sure that there’s a photo op available. You ragged on MG for getting her makeup done for her daughters Bday, but who had their makeup done for their daughters competition? I’m not a favorite of any of the housewives on any of the shows, but let’s be real here. Slag me re my typing because I had about a minute to type before my break is over but let’s defend this bubbleheads ‘Boo hoo, I’m grew up Italian so I no speak no good English’ Can’t string two sentences together in a live interview. If it’s not her standard ‘rehearsed’ phrases it’s over her head. In CA she was in way over her head, she wasn’t brought in for brains, reality shows are crossing over all all the time, she was brought in for ratings, she gets the ratings because of a reality show showing a family feud. She stayed in the background because she’d never be able to take the lead. You encourage and petition for her to have her own show? What? to see her drive her kids around every week,while she goes to book signings, watch Juicy Joe try to make an honest/legal living doing anything but doesn’t actually work, . Oh wait…. he’ll be in jail most likely, we can do a crossover show with whatever newest prison show is looking for ratings. Her ‘fans/family’ should be telling her the truth. When she becomes the next Kate Gosslin who will be your hero then?

        • michers says:

          I got lost here.. not exactly who the “YOU” is your referring to? You are right- COOKBOOK, not Pulitzer, so why are your knickers all bunched up? Slam Teresa if you want. Adults nitpicking, degrading, being negative about children is just not my cup of tea. Im sure if I put my Family’s recipes on here, which came right from Italy with my family on the boat, there would be commonalities. No one is my hero, personally on the show. I like how Teresa conducts herself and her many business accomplishments after being treated the way she was by family and friends. Watching Teresa do things is far more real and entertaining then Vegas drunk showgirl, the ex-lookers employ who cannot sing to save her cottage cheesed ass, the red- haired bully , or the wannabe Julia Childs with the most embarrassing hubby!! Im not slagging your typing either!! How is it that Teresa is an ape head? LOL. Its 5:00 somewhere, maybe you should unwind with a cocktail. Angry Spice.

          • IMO says:

            omg, lol, you’re DELUSIONAL, bash my character because I state an opinion about someone who CHOSE to expose there life on TV for a buck and a minute of fame, but god forbid anyone who states facts as viewed on that reality show (or any others) it is 5 oclock somewhere, I may have a glass of something (I don’t drink BTW), but I go to sleep at night knowing it’s just a show Me thinks you’re a little to vested in a ‘reality’ show that’s scripted for drama, someone who thinks that they can bash anyone who doesn’t agree because you’ve watched the same episodes? Get a life/job or better yet GET A HOBBY

          • michers says:

            HAAAAAHAA. You are funny! I have not to my knowledge bashed your character but the ones you chose to defend as you bashed the one I defend( see how that works?) Calling someone delusional is what, by your definition? Sounds like your too invested honey not me. Didn’t they all expose themselves for a buck? I mean isn’t that why they are on here? Take your own advice. Opinions of this show are not facts, facts are different. Fact is that Teresa is way better at business, obviously and she did not sell her soul to the devil for a dollar to hijack camera time. Do you not check your comments before you send them? In my original response to you I did not bash you . Seems like you are all mad because people don’t share your opinion of picking on teresa and/or her children.

          • RahRah says:

            michers I got your back..

            what ever IMO spewed goes double for IMO, as she is on this site so she is vested too, lol, ain’t she funny!!

          • Hailiesmama says:

            IMO get a hobby? get a life? We are a group of women, who watch a show, and discuss it. You are someone who comes on blogs that DISAGREE with You, and argue back & fourth w/ us. We didn’t come to you, lets not forget. Your the one who needs to get a life. Arguing w/ strangers, and intentionally. You’re just as dumb as i thought Melissa

        • Nonna Gabi says:

          Wow. You sound so bitter. If you don’t like the show, or Teresa, the solution is simple. Don’t watch it. And yes, it was the 4 ON 1 BULLYING for two seasons that have opened the door for her, but it is her charm and “one of us” persona that have made her successful. Caroline was on Bethany’s show last week saying she doesn’t care what we the viewers think of her. I don’t know about you, but if you don’t care about me, I can’t give a rats ass about you (or any product you wish to market). Jac has lost her mind with her rants. What is your opinion of how she denigrated her first born on national television? Was it okay with you because Ashlee is not a Laurita? And how about Joe Gorga and the incessant sex talk? Are you happy about that? Were you not offended when he said Antonia cockblocked him? And how about Rich, Kathy’s husband, who said about Teresa that “the bitch should be burned at the stake”? Is that okay with you?

          . So, if you hate this show so much, don’t watch. Stop calling Tre ape head and talking about her children. Talk is cheap when you are anonymously at a keyboard. Life is too short to be bitter. Have an absolutely lovely day! salute!

          • IMO says:

            It’s starting to become really OFFENSIVE to constantly state these ‘women’ are being BULLIED. (All the RH shows)
            Use the word with meaning, not because some scripted show is using drama to create ratings. Bullying is a serious issue and throwing that word out there for a ‘reality’ show is ridiculous
            I watch just like you do. We have different views, because of that I’m not allowed to watch the show that shows your ‘hero’ getting a dose of her own medicine. I express an opinion and I get jumped on. Isn’t that bullying to use your term loosely? It’s a flippin show. You’ve never met these people, issues go way beyond the show/characters/lives before this show even aired. It’s a show, drama is what keeps it going. Different opinions is what keeps it on the air. Deal with it. None of them (all RH shows) could make it on there own. One broke free which was Bethany. She didn’t stay on a show that was toxic, she moved on. None of these women are moving on, they talk about it but unless Bravo does it officially for them, they’re not going to go voluntarily. They love the exposure it gives them, good/bad/ugly. Using the word ‘bullying’ to describe these females is incorrect. They’re catty Bit*ches, yes, two-faced? Yes. Disloyal, most likely, but they’re not bullies. They’re making drama for TV. That’s all. Save that word for when you ‘really’ see a case of bullying

          • Nonna Gabi says:

            We don’t have to agree on the definition. My point was your terminology I have no power over you and really don’t care whether you watch or not. Disagreeing is what makes this fun. We get to see another’s point of view. I was explaining to you my point of view and I see it as bullying. I can’t help if u find it offensive. I found it offensive that you called her ape head. So let’s have an adult conversation and like I said, if it agitates you this much, don’t watch.

          • michers says:

            Geeze IMO.. its ok to have a different opinion . But you came out guns blazing, and that puts people on the defensive. You came out swinging! I don’t know about everyone else, but when you say nasty untrue things about (when its not known that she is nasty like her SIL) someone you don’t know, like insulting her parenting or kids, that makes for a not nice debate. I respectfully disagree frequently without having to be called names to a poster or vice versa. Its not needed. I disagreed with you- you took it to another level, of course like the other 2-3 anti-teresa commentors. I agree with you on the bullying and the shows using it loosely. However, I do feel like Teresa was cyberbullied by Jac and slandered. Caro pulled the strings for people to demonize Teresa.

          • Nonna Gabi says:

            Also, you did not answer my questions. You don’t like the Giudices. Cool. But what about the other things I brought up? I woul like to read your opinion of them. Thanks.

MELISSA THE STALKER MELISSA THE STALKER. ON DISPLAY LOL

          • Hailiesmama says:

            IMO, IT Really did NOT bother me @ all that Teresa got her makeup done for the show, b/c UNLIKE YOU, she is a CELEBRITY, & she was going out to a concert w/ more then 10 thousand people, and would be back stage w/ Gia, so might meet someone of importance, make a connection, and should be dressing the part. she is a business women. You getting your makeup done to stay home for a family and friend bday party is pathetic and ridiculous! who r u impressing? Teresa? Also, the comments u made on twitter about gia getting a limo. R U JEALOUS? It was a far ride, Joe isn’t allowed to drive, and it was a HUGE day for Gia. Great way to get the whole family there safely, also.

            Jealous r u? Maybe your mommy and daddy didn’t do these things for you? maybe when your daddy remarried, and had more kids you didn’t get what they got? awwweeeee. poor lil baby melhoe… .

            Holy Ufck, you Fans/Family ARE flippin delusional. Now I’m Melissa??? Had to make your point by using all caps because why, I couldn’t read normal print?

        • Calzoned says:

          Oh, for the love of all things Holy Cannoli (T’s DEELISH recipe)… I’d much rather watch Milania sing her tomato picking song as she falls into a freezer than have to endure another vulgarity laced Teresa comment from Lapband-Lauren…or listen to Christopher throwing up last night’s drink…or Albie trying to convince a television audience that he was serious about being a law student…or Ashley assaulting an adult…or Geno popping JoeGo in the head with all his might! You don’t like Teresa? Fine. But how can anyone single out Teresa’s parenting when we see the real results of piss poor parenting in everyone else’s “adult kids”?

            I love how we are the “delusional” ones because we don’t agree. Does anyone give a rats ass if IMO is Melissa, Danielle, Don Caro, Jac, Kathy, Mighty mouse, Donald duck or spiderman? This person refuses to answer my questions. I get it. And I’m over it. next!

          • Samantha says:

            “This person refuses to answer my questions.” Oh, I see. I didn’t know we were required to do that. I really wish I’d known. Is this written down somewhere?

          • cammierari says:

            it’s common courtesy Samantha, when one is a regular poster on a blog, to answer direct questions other posters have about your stated opinion.

          • Samantha says:

            To use “common courtesy” and “Teresa Giudice” in the same sentence is an oxymoron. And I think you’re confusing this comments section with a kindergarten classroom.

          • cammierari says:

            funny…I didn’t use “common courtesy” and “Teresa Giudice” in the same sentence. I did however use “Samantha” and “common courtesy” in the same sentence. Perhaps THAT’S that oxymoron you are referring to?

        • Marz77aus says:

          Teresa got her make up done for beatstock because she was actually on stage presenting. Look at the flier, her name is on there ABOVE Melissa’s

        • Matilda Brown says:

          As soon as I read the word “Apehead” i stopped. It is disgusting and degrading. Maybe you should check out the blog “the chirping twit” she has an interesting piece on people who call Teresa “Apehead” or “TreApe” or “Chewbacca”

          IMO only an asshole makes fun of someone due to their physical attributes. What are you 12?

          • Calzoned says:

            Thank you, Matilda Brown! I’m always surprised when someone has no problem degrading a total stranger on their TV but acts so offended when total strangers on an internet forum dish it back to them. If one can’t take it…they shouldn’t be giving it — especially when they’re commenting just to get a negative reaction in the first place.

          • Melissa's Forehead says:

      Ewww…Kardashian’s made it off Kim’s sex tape and the name of their famous father’s name. I’m going to give credit for Teresa for her hustle. Mistake maker..yes…oppurtunist..absolutely. Not at the expense of her family though.

      I’m not Italian, but love the cuisine. Her cookbook might be selling from people like me (I have not purchased any, however). I feel like she’s marketing things that people could use. Sorry, I don’t need black water. Italian cookbooks, teeth brightener, sparkling wine, hair treatments…HELL YES!

  32. lydia says:

    Kathy makes some good looking desserts. I saw her table spread on one of the shows and if she cooked it she makes some darn good Middle Eastern dishes. Combine these Kathy and produce a beautiful cookbook with these two ethnicities. Give us lots of pictures and some history of the dishes some family photos of large spreads you’ve put on and you have a nice cookbook. Middle Eastern food is one of my favorites and very healthy. My mother-in-law taught me to cook these dishes 40 years ago when she stayed with us for 6 monthes. I also learned Northern Italian cooking from my best friend. I’m Irish what can you say about that cuisine not much. Kathy you have the ability and so far the platform get with the program and stop being bitchy and you too will produce a great book.

        I dont have a favorite on NJ, all of them act like fools/children. The only HW I ever ‘liked’ was Bethany and she left for better things. All these wives need to give their head a shake. I just don’t understand how some responders can attack on a personal basis for stating an opinion that doesn’t match theirs. Doesn’t make them any better than the housewives they hate in my opinion.

        • michers says:

          Not true IMO. I never attacked you, so don’t categorize me in that way. In fact I have never attacked anyone on here. I have had to defend myself against one person who always is nasty and vulgar. BTW, the only name I said in my response to you was Angry Spice! Check what you said to me you big meanie!

        • Hailiesmama says:

          IMO:
          You sound to me like you’re Back peddling… trying hard to come across neutral, clearly your not. I think you got nervous b/c we know u r Melissa. Not falling for it. Sorry. & I’m also sorry I allowed you to get the best of me, but hey, when Mel shows her face, I took the opportunity to tell you what i think, b/c I KNOW its you Melissa the stalker… IMO

          • michers says:

            Hailiesmama, its not even her being Mel or whatever other wicked one, its an initial comment that is what seems like purposely put on to instigate, if you will! Its one thing to disagree, its another to come out so downright nasty, especially unprovoked! I hate that. It is what it is, and even those who think that way get to voice their thoughts- UGH. I especially hate when the kids are thrown in, so sad.

          • KS2ID2TX says:

            I agree, Michers! The very first comment IMO left, came across in a very angry, & attacking way. My first thought was “Wow! This person’s MAD about something!” It’s one thing to voice your opinion & state your feelings towards someone’s actions, but when you start right in with name-calling, it completely defeats the purpose of your reason for posting in the first place! You don’t like Teresa, we get that. But just like we are not going to change your mind about how you feel about her, YOU, IMO, aren’t going to be able to change our minds, either. We all view the HW’s differently, & that’s ok! It’s the attacking with name-calling that is going to put people on the defensive. This whole conversation could have gone in a completely different direction….it didn’t have to end up the way it did.

    wow. wtf? do we believe her? not sure.

  35. BravNo says:

    The whole recipe argument is lame. No one owns recipes. Period. That is why everyone from Julia child to Martha Sterwart has a butter cookie recipe and a royal icing recipe, and a fried chicken recipe. Teresa made 3 great books and in addition to recipes they have nutritional information per recipe and they are easy to make with a few ingredients. The haters can say what they want but I got more than the purchase price in value from each of the books. If the rest of the cast put one quarter the energy they put into hating Teresa into a new venture perhaps they could be successful too. Love that Teresa is in Florida with Gia. Love that they are in Disneyworld for the day.

    • RahRah says:

      I am black and I love these recipes. I never cooked Italian before I purchased T’s cookbooks. We stopped going to the Olive Garden for our Italian fix. I never made the spaghetti my Mother served us growing up but now I can make some of T’s without the recipe books.

      I like Emeril,s and Rao’s sauces. I even discovered the San marzano(sp) crushed tomatoes.

      • michers says:

        Nice!! I never tried the Rao’s yet.

          TRY IT Michers. It’s really amazing. A little pricey compared to other national brands, but in my neck of the woods, it goes on sale a lot. It really tastes like homemade sauce of any great Italian restaurant.

          • michers says:

            I wonder if it tastes like Bucca ‘s? I love that place! Bucca di Beppos=YUM. I will have to try it out! I always look at it, but never knew anyone who tried it, so I leave it lol!

        Rahrah, I think your post is cute! Thank heavens that your no longer going to olive garden and yes, aren’t san marzano tomatoes awesome? I love them in my sauce and I am not italian but I love that I can cook something authentic!

  36. RahRah says:

    SAMANTHA do you have one good thing to say about Teresa?

  37. RahRah says:

    15 MINS LATE SERVINNG DINNER..SEE YA LATER…

  38. Katherine D. says:

    To those who talk about Teresa’s parenting (ahem SAMANTHA) besed on Gias and Milanias comments need to take a step back and look at the big picture

    Milania doesnt count because shes 6 and doesnt know whats going on and shes just fabulous and is excused on that basis

    Gia on the other hand – u know-if your old enough to put a sentence together and old enough to hold a thought- then im sure shes old enough to have an opinion based on her life experiences

    Ppl have to understand that while season 3 was airing – 4 was being filmed – Gia watches the show – shes 11 and God only knows if I was on TV and I was 11 (pre-teen age) I would watch the show I am on even if auntie Melissa says ‘she knows too much’ – yeah idiot thanks to you and your husband for coming on a reality show to air your familys dirty laundry – all the while 11 year old Gia is watching this – she is watching her auntie Melissa making snarky remarks about Gias parents like’we pay our bills’ – i think Gia understands quite well that those are jabs- quite like Gia through one back when Teresa asked her where she learned how to dance like that and Gia is like from my aunt – she understands what sarcasm is and jabs thereafter- if melissa and joe didnt want kids involved then they shouldnt have joined the show knowing children will watch it

    Gia doesnt need to hear her mommy bash auntie Melissa in order for her to form an opinion – although seeing her mom in pain also contributes to hate being built up

    which brings me back to my original point – to those talking about Ts parenting for trashing Melissa in front of the kids – how bout ppl assess it as Gia now understands after watching a show that Melissa and her uncle came on to bring her mom down and will stand by her mother rightfully so and make fun of Melissa and her singing career in her mid 30s rightfully so

    oh and Joe Giudice laughing in the limo after those comments Milania and Gia made – was HILARIOUSSSSS
    I DIED OF LAUGHTER
    I bet u anything right after he prolly looked at the cameraman and was like ‘i hope you caught that’

    • michers says:

      Katherine- good points! Gia was very close to her Uncle, and when she came along things changed. Now she is older and very well can form her own opinions. Its not for people to dissect as some nasty ones have! At the end of the day, she is a young girl and probably has way more knowledge of the hurt this family has gone through, especially since they destroyed what was left by coming on the show! Any parent knows that they can teach their children anything and everything until they are blue in the face, but sometimes, kids will say or do what they will- that does not mean that the parent condones it!! Sometimes its funny, sometimes embarrassing- they are kids! What the hell is the excuse for Rich Wakile, Joe Gorga, Tarazan, Greggy, the Manzo kids, Jac, Kathy and Melissa? There is no excuse! But they are the first ones to lead themelves on the hate parade against the Giudices.

      • Sofia says:

        AGREE 100%!!!
        They talk about LITTLE kids. Manzo grown kids do not go to school…do not read books…do not work ‘real’ jobs…ONLY talk crap about housewives that their mommy doesn’t like anymore and swamp water!
        Now that’s GREAT parenting!
        If those were my kids ..I would NEVER open my mouth and say anything about other people’s children!

    • Grammas Ocean says:

      Katherine…the point you made about the kids seeing the pain on Teresa’s face helps contribute to hate building up in them struck a cord with me.
      My daughter’s MIL is not very nice to her at times. My daughter has tried and tried. But one day they had an arguement and my daughter came in the house crying.
      She didn’t say anything to my grandchildren, but they knew that Mimi made mommy cry. Later, we found out that her six year old went in her room and cut up her pictures of Mimi.
      Kids Know…you don’t have to tell them.
      I heard Oprah once say If your child or your dog, does not like someone, run like hell…they have the best judgement when it comes to people.
      T’s kids know M is a POS…she doesn’t have to tell them.

      • michers says:

        Gramma, totally agree!!! My oldest son always knew things similar without me ever saying a word. I have heard that saying also, I thought it was an old wives tale! Some times those old tales are true!

    • Samantha says:

      Every single scene that features Gia is scripted (if you can call it that) in advance by her mother. She is saying these things about her aunt and uncle because she is being instructed to do so by her mother. In SPITE of this, I think that Gia and her sisters love their aunt and uncle very much.

      Teresa should face the fact that her daughters became smarter than both her and Psycho Joe (combined) a long time ago. They know the difference between the truth and a lie, and that she’s forcing them to lie is going to eventually come back and bite her in the ass big time.

      • Kate (not the ignorant, Tre-hating "kate") says:

        Samantha, you said “Every single scene that features Gia is scripted in advance by her mother.”
        What evidence do you have of this claim? You state it with such conviction that I assume you are trying to present it as fact.
        I have never seen a scene showing Teresa “instructing” her children to say anything negative about their aunt and uncle. Do you have any footage to show? Perhaps an article to reference? Or maybe you live in Teresa’s home and have direct, personal knowledge of these moments of “instruction” and “scripting” that Teresa puts her children through?
        No??? None of these things are available for you to present here as evidence to back up your claims as “fact”? Well, then, in the future I would suggest you frame your opinions as just that, personal opinions with no solid, factual basis.

        • michers says:

          This is the game Sam always plays Katherine! Always saying things that in her world, are portrayed as fact, when none of us besides her of course have any knowledge of what she proclaims.. But we are crazy, delusional, Manson family members, etc…

        • Samantha says:

          I do so love it when you give me suggestions about what I should write. And where exactly is the footage of you demonstrating your ability to tell us what Gia “thinks?”

          • Melody says:

            I suggest you get some help. I dont go to the blog of people I don’t like that. The fact that you follow this blog and constantly trolls clearly shows you have some serious issues. I suggest getting some mental help to resolve your issues.

          • Kate (not the ignorant, Tre-hating "kate") says:

            Samantha: What?!? You realize that you sound really incoherent; right? You said: “footage of you demonstrating your ability to tell us what Gia “thinks”??? Footage of ME? Or did you mean footage of Gia that proves that she “thinks”? Both make no sense and, for someone who earlier got upset that people weren’t responding directly to your original statement, it doesn’t bode well for you that you just went WAY off topic. I think that we can assume, reasonably, that Gia belongs to the Homo Sapiens species and therefore “thinks” just like any other human being. We don’t need footage of any kind to prove that; it’s an accepted fact that Gia is a human child and not a robot or a bumble bee. I made absolutely NO claims to know what exactly Gia thinks or what she thinks about with her human brain. You, on the other hand, have demonstrated that we may want to doubt your status as a member of the Homo Sapiens species…

      • Grammas Ocean says:

        Samantha, I am a grandmother of six. But, even I would like some of what you are smoking that makes you see things in such a different light as everyone else.
        I highly doubt Teresa is telling her kids to say things about their Aunt & Uncle. Anyone with a clear thought process can tell they are responding to the incidents where they have witnessed their mother being attacked by those “loving” aunts & uncles ON CAMERA for all of us to witness too!

        • Samantha says:

          Nobody is witnessing Teresa being attacked on camera because no one is attacking her on camera OR off.

          What her children and family are finding out from watching the show is that she’s an even bigger liar than they thought she was.

          • Katherine D. says:

            ok so samantha you are delusional as well – Teresa is always attacked by the other women – and the kids- especially Gia sees this – smart girl that Gia

          • Grammas Ocean says:

            I give up…there is no talking to some people. Yep, you’re right Sam. We are all wrong and you are right. Is that what you want to hear? Fine…we’re all stupid. You’re right. We dreamed we saw T’s brother call her garbage. We dreamed he called her an effin bitch. ON CAMERA!!! Not to mention all the backstabbing he & his property Melissa have said in talking head segments…be real.

  39. Rosalie Marie, says:

    I smile with sunshine looking at the photo above of Teresa and Joe. I can see Teresa using her phone camera saying, “Just one more picture!” And Joe responds, “Alright Teresa, enough with the picture.” lol

  40. Rosalie Marie, says:

    Maybe we can get her to belt something out at the reunion! ——————————————-

    Oh, OH! LOL That would be funny if Teresa would ask Melissa to sing a song on the reunion episode when it comes on. LMAO! Silly Melissa.

    • Matilda Brown says:

      You know Melissa reads the blogs and is gonna go into panic mode!!! How will she get out of that one. I think even Andy would join in saying “Yeah, go ahead, sing us a little something” hahahahaha one can only hope :)

  41. Rosalie Marie, says:

    Oh that must be the cookie incident. Kathy quickly looks at a cookie and claimed it for her own. It’s a freaking cookie!

  42. Rosalie Marie, says:

    Also, did anyone else find it a little strange that Kathy joined this show as a hair stylist but claims to be a pastry chef only after she got on the show? It sounds to me that Kathy is actually trying to walk in Teresa’s shadow. Teresa writes cookbooks, and suddenly Kathy is a Cook.

    • Sofia says:

      Oh yes…Funny huh??
      And do not forget her stinking desert wine!
      LOL
      Cookbook coming up!

      • hotsummerday says:

        Kathy is so dumb. Being a hair dresser, she should have done shampoo and hair care products. That would have been a no brainer. But now Teresa is doing it. BWAAAHH

        • Maggs says:

          I agree, i thought Kathy had beautiful hair (until WWHL extensions)! She could of developed hair care stuff, i would of been interested to learn more. They all are just filled with jealousy hate and envy, can’t see past those feelings they have about Teresa . Sad and pathetic.

        • JD says:

          Kathy should have come in as the hairdresser she is, she could have shown her talent there, and probably produce some products. She porbably thought NAH…i want EVERYONE to know that i cook better than my cousin. Also, her food are NOT that appetizing, the desserts YES. Why would she go that way knowing there is someone else on the show who already have that pegged…why?…now she STUCK with a drink and non-existent cookies…lol

  43. Lashaysims says:

    I’m telling u all these crazy negative comments about Teresa family, kids, her appearance, etc is the crazy no lifes people who comment on REALITY TEA blog go back to that blog site with all those negative comments I tell u people who talk about kids are GARBARGE.

  44. holy cannoli says:

    I loved Teresas Blog. She explained remarks and defended herself. Why is it ok when the others do it, at least she didn’t blame evrything that is wrong in the world on the others and say awful things about them, like they all have done to her in their Blogs.

    I especially like what she said about Kathy’s remarks in the next episode, makes complete sense.

    • michers says:

      Me too ! You would think that even if not liked by someone, at least they could separate the garbage in their collectively written blogs, from hers that is always respectful , to the point, not dragging their names through the mud.They have been down right nasty and disgusting speaking of her, her children, her life. All out of jealousy.

      • holy cannoli says:

        Exactly michers!

        I’m not gonna say that Teresa doesn’t get a dig in here and there, yea she does. Good for her. Damn I don’t blame her at all not one bit! She catches it in every single episode, in all of their blogs, she can give a dig, they are never as awful as what they have said ( in my opinion) EVER!!

  45. steelernation says:

    Kathy is lying about QVC ,you never discuss ur negotiations in public until the deal is finalized, her husband has some jacked up yellow teeth, he is disgusting , bringing up tampons, in an eating establishment,that is nasty, Kathy seems unsanitary to me, the way they show her baking and touching her hands on the bake goods, i would’nt buy her desserts,she and her husband makes my flesh crawl.
