Teresa Says The Cast Of RHONJ Is Evil; Calls Caroline A Bully!
RHONJ star Teresa Giudice has had enough! Teresa tells TheDailyBeast that she is done with the evil cast and even says Caroline is a bully! Teresa adds what bothers her most about the show plus more!
Why is everybody always picking on you?
That’s something that I would love to get the answer to. I wish that you would ask each person what I’ve done to them. ‘Cause I haven’t done anything.
I’ve watched the show very carefully–
I mean, here you have my sister-in-law and cousin that came on the show behind my back. [Melissa] came on the show with a very strategic, very calculated, very planned-out agenda. She’s playing it really cool. It’s sick! Melissa says that she hated me at the time—that’s news to me! What did she hate? That I was on TV and she was dying to be on TV? ‘Cause I did nothing to her. She can’t pinpoint anything that I specifically did to her.
What about the sprinkle cookies?
Okay, she came over for Christmas, she brought sprinkle cookies. We’re an Italian family! We don’t do sprinkle cookies! What’s wrong with her? She’s been around the family long enough to know what to bring. She’s playing that kind of role, like, “Oh, yeah, my shit don’t stink,” so then, bring the right dessert to someone’s house!
Were there other problems with her in the beginning?
In the beginning I accepted her with open arms. All I wanted my brother to do was be happy. Melissa was his third fiancée. She met him the middle of October; she moved into his house December 1; they got engaged, March; they got married, August. Like, very quick. Very, very quick.
Do you think she came on the show to take attention away from you? I mean, that was your show.
It’s took me a while to get used to the whole idea, and I’m fine with it now, and God bless her. Same thing with Kathy. I mean, me and Kathy were so close, she used to tell me all the time, “I could never do the show, I could never do what you do. I could never put my life on TV or do what you do.” She’s such a private person, and blah blah blah. That’s all I kept hearing from Kathy, and I kept saying, “Who would even want you for the show?” Because she didn’t fit the Housewife criteria, do you know what I mean?
How so?
I mean, her house is not, you know… [The producers] were looking for big homes and Kathy’s house is very small. You had to live in a big home, you had to have an extravagant lifestyle, let’s put it that way. I used to be like, “Really? Who would even want you?” I used to think to myself like that. It was so funny to me.
Are you speaking to anyone right now?
I’m not speaking to any of them. I wish Caroline could actually say what I did to her, ‘cause I’ve done nothing to her. If I didn’t like her, I would’ve never put her in my book. It’s so funny to me how people are so calculated. I never say anything about any of them and all they do is speak about me. It’s like, really?
Why do they do that?
I don’t know, is it because I have cookbooks?
Maybe. So you’re not speaking to Melissa, your brother, Caroline, Jacqueline, who else? Kathy?
That’s it, those are the only people on the show.
You don’t speak to a single person on the show.
Correct. You know, we live in a crazy world, I have to say, Hopefully, God’ll just, you know, look after me, and hopefully protect me from these evil people,
Who are your friends now?
I have a lot of friends. I mean, you follow me on Twitter, you’ll see I have a lot, a lot of friends. I’m the type that’s always happy, I let things roll of my shoulder. I’m just a happy-go person, but I do have that Italian fiery temper which you only saw when someone’s trying to attack me and saying lies.
Who do you think is the worst person overall?
I would say Caroline. She’s a bully. Now, watching the show, I feel like such an idiot. I can’t believe that every time I left the room I was being talked about. It’s just so hurtful to me, and I feel like I was a fool. I was raised in a very sheltered home, my first language is Italian. I’m not good with all the American sayings. Everyone’s making fun of me, [because] I said “Jekyll and Hyde.” [Note: She actually said “Heckle and Jyde.”] I know all the Italian sayings. My parents, that’s all they spoke at home was Italian. My parents didn’t say “Don’t through stones at glass houses.”
What else bothers you?
They’re painting this picture like I’ve changed. They’re trying to make America believe that I’ve changed. How have I changed? Maybe because now I am a New York Times best-selling author, but that’s it. I’m still the same Teresa, and maybe that’s what they can’t get a grip on. Like, wow, she is the same Teresa.
How do you account for that?
I’m humble–I’ll always be humble. I’ll never change, that’s just not me. I’ve learned from my mistakes. I’ll never flip another table. I can’t believe I allowed someone to push my buttons like that. I worry about my life. I mean, I launched an adult beverage, Fabellini, we’re trying to get that nationally out everywhere. They want it everywhere. They want it in all the states, you know, Chicago, they want us to get it there. We can’t get it out fast enough.
What do you want everyone to know?
I always heard stories that fame could ruin families, and I never thought it could happen to me and it has happened to me. It’s really sad that my family came on this show to try to put me down, but now I have to say, I just keep getting stronger and stronger and stronger. Maybe they think they’re trying to knock me down, knock me down, knock me down, but all I keep doing is climbing the ladder even higher. If anything, like my husband said, I feel sorry for them, like, all they’re doing is talking about me, and it’s like, really? Get a life!
It seems like Teresa is done with being nice since the housewives continue to bash her. Do you agree with what Teresa had to say?

AllAboutTRH Meets RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice
Jealously, Jealously, Jealously. IT is the root of all evil. I hope you get your own show.
I would love for her to get her own show , BUT , if she doesn’t , I hope she doesn’t choose to leave RHONJ because that is exactly what Jac,Car,Mel want !!They’re all so jealous of her. That is why they’re trying to turn america against her , hoping Bravo will give her the boot. To me , I would love it if Bravo gave all of them the boot and built a whole new cast around T.
I hope Teresa gets her own show too!!
I agree with Teresa 100%. She is better then all of those fake bitches all together.
Teresa deserves her own show. We all know HW is her show, without her it’s nothing.
WTG Tre stay strong! WE LOVE YOU!
What has confused me with season 3 & 4 is that they all talk about how Dumb Teresa is & make fun of her lack of intelligence.But then they want us all to Believe that Teresa has cooked up all these lies & situations to break up the bond between Caroline & Dina.Expose all of Jac’s ex-husband legal trouble. And also cause a rift between her own family. You can’t call somebody dumb but then say they are smart enough to manipulate everybody. I’m over Caroline,her crew,Jac, & I have never liked Kathy or Melissa. Andy better address at the reunion the fact that Melissa really did contact Danielle so her intentions to join the show where never positive. Which Bravo & Andy knew already.
Teresa should be standing up for herself…and Caroline is a bully…look how she treats her own children & Dina…so sad! but I do disagree..Melissa is the most evil one cause she is willing to destroy her husband’s own family for fame..that just proves she really doesnt love anyone but herself. She is not even motherly on the show…everything is about her while she dumps the kids off on other people. Antonia’s birthday was perfect example…Melissa made the whole day about her…disgusting!!
Melissa is another kind of evil ! I think Caroline has tried to be the big boss having the little people do the dirty work. She is a bully, Mel is just sneaky and evil.
Thats what i was thinking too! She claimed she needed her makeup done for her daughters bd party because they were getting pictures. Why was she the only one getting dolled up then? What about the birthday girl? Everything she did was all for herself. All the attetion is always on her. I feel bad for her kids they way her and Joe are always right about to get in on on the kitchen counters with them standing there. she is a POS SIL and an even bigger POS mother.
I agree with you about being the most evil one on the show but remember Teresa has always said that she didn’t want her family to look bad. There is no way that she will be the one to expose Joey and Lookers. Nor will she really have many negative things to say about them.
Unless she’s getting paid for it. For not very much money, either.
the other “ladies” continue to bash Teresa at every opportunity to keep themselves relevant, I’m sure they are doing it for very little money.
Is deflecting the blame the only way Teresa (and her fans, apparently) know how to argue? “Well, what about what YOU did? YOU did the SAME THING!”
A two-year-old is a more skilled debater than she is.
Okay, first of all I did not insult you so no need to insult me. A little respect, please. Second, why does that bother you so much. You seem okay with everyone else including yourself denigrating Teresa, but if ppl ask something about the others you freak. Why don’t you learn the art of debate? You like to accuse and abuse but when it’s on the other foot, you spew venom. What Mel and Joey did to T is a DISGRACE. I’m sure if your sibling and their spouse did and said derogatory things about you on national tv, you would certainly feel differently. They need to accept their blame in all this, Kim. At what price fame?
And how are they bashing her? They’ve spent all season bending over backward to accommodate her and her insane narcissism. I hope this puts an end to that.
I think you were watching reruns of gilligans island. You keep throwing out words such as narcissism but have nothing to back it up with. It was melissa who had to put on make up just for a television interview, she is so in love with herself that she “wrote” on display before ever being on tv, what a kook, oh and those huge ugly lips she had done. Then there is bankrupt jacqueline who embezzeled enough money to get so much plastic surgery that she looks plastic. And all of them except teresa keep talking about their needs, their feelings, thats what i respect about teresa she is definitely no cry-baby she can hold her own. Better luck next time sam. Oh and if you are a fan of joey’s and you think all of this teresa bashing will impress him and he’ll want you, think again, he and melissa only use people then throw them away when they are done just ask their other superfan who used to run a site doing the dirty work of melissa’s sisters, he found out the hard way.
If anyone’s lusting after Joe Gorga it’s several of the more neurotic and frustrated members of Team Teresa. It’s pretty transparent based on the some of the more salacious comments I’ve seen posted here.
Lusting after Joe Gorga? Really? I’d say most of us here have WAY BETTER TASTE in men. You can have him honey.
I was responding to whoever started this thread, the topic of which was that Teresa “doesn’t want her family to look bad…nor will she really have many negative things to say about them.”
I was disputing this point. About Teresa. I wasn’t talking about anyone else. I was trying stick to the point.
These are not original concepts; please feel free to share them with Teresa.
Oops, that was for Nonna Gabi @ 12:34.
OH I would love to see her with her own show-far away from Bravo!!
love, love,love how you said away from Bravo? LOL to funny, so I see you have noticed how Ms. Andy is towards Tre? I read a screen shot from Jacko’s Mom from last year when they where filming she said that the producers made Jacko set up that sceen on her back porch!!!Or else she would be let go if she couldn’t brong on the drama……. Ms Andy should be ashamed of himself for letting all this bulling go on!!!!Don’t know if you have heard of this site on the web but if you want to read alot of stuff its (Fame-whorgas.com) happy reading =)
Interesting. I commented on her Bravo blog that the deck scene looked contrived to me,and it never got posted. Now I know why.
So would I. Can’t Dina find her a job?
If I were Teresa, I would stay on RHONJ because she has shown herself to be a real human being, but mostly because that would piss Mel and crew off. Right Sam?
Kind of. If I were her, I would have been throwing some jabs at them, and less nice then she was! But thats why I like her- she could have stooped to their level but has not. It seems like she was holding back a bit, so kudos to her for self control ! Im sure there was so much more she could have said and hurt them back.
Oh I agree! I think Teresa is holding A LOT in about the others to respect her family. She shows class while the others are proving themselves to be garbage.
True, but at least she called Carowine ugly messy bitter ass out. Damn that bitch is a piece of work. And she is a bully. Why else would she say that people refer to her as bulldog? I mean ok, it could be the ugly face and loose hanging skin on the neck, but that bitch was referring to the attitude that she has. She better not get to that reunion and claim she meant nothing by it, and that she’s not a bully.
When I read your post, I thought you had referred to her as “BULLFROG”!
I was LOL!
Both fit her!
She is being such a brat for saying what she said about Kathy not having a nice enough home and laughing about being on the show. Come on! Stop acting like a child!
Also, having thousands/millions of followers on Twitter does not mean you have a lot of FRIENDS. Not that I don’t believe that she doesn’t have a lot of non-RHONJ friends, but she sounds really silly saying that. She can say a lot of really unintelligent things sometimes.
She is a brat? That was funny though! If you take into account what they have said and done to her for the past 2 years, her comments were not comparable! She could have and should have said more to get back at them. I also think that talk about Kathy was trying to get a nice little jab back. She was right- Kathy is boring but sneaky as well! Kathy is such a follower and kind of lame, and has no sense of family loyalty.
Teresa is tired of they shit and Kathy is FAKE FAKE FAKE girl how u say I could never be on a show blah blah blah Kathy is 2 faced and she went a long with Melissa ugly face to hurt Teresa. I don’t blame Teresa them bitter hags can’t keep her name out their mouth and try so hard to bring her down. I can’t wait for the reunion Tre expose all them.
And exactly HOW is she going to do that?
Samantha (or whoever you really are – Marco sister…shut up. If you info., just give it up or shut up or go elsewhere – there are many blogs who bash Teresa. Go where you’re wanted.
Speaking of which, I wonder how Teresa’s PR people are planning on dealing with this. There’s not a chance in hell that anyone gave her permission to so publicly (albeit amusingly) make such a complete ass out of herself.
Jeanie don’t pay any mind to this samantha!!! Let her make her comments she just makes herself look like an ass in what she says. Don’t give her the attention. I think everyone here just skips over her comments now. I don’t even bother to read what this chick has to say! She obviously has her head up melissa’s ass and the rest of them. I don’t know why she’s even on this site. She needs to go over to reality tea. As soon as I found roxie’s website I have not been back to reality tea. I hate that biased blog! It’s not fair and it’s monitored. If you favor the manzo’s , lauretas, and the gorga’s then your comment will be posted.
Good to know you’re still skipping over my comments, Renee lol.
Lashaysims, Ms. Andy is not gonna let that happen I think its gonna be a 5 on 1 kind of bashing with Tre being the 1…..just saying if I was her I wouln’t even show up like they let Wacko Jacko get out of it last season!!!!! Even though she broke her contract, I think Ms. Andy will still re-sign her because she finally brought some drama to the show like they wanted her to.
That is what I like about Teresa is she is no wallflower and will show up at the reunion with her head held high because she has a work ethic! Out of all those women Teresa is the only one who can handle the bullies and keep a smile on her face because like Andy said Teresa is really, really strong. I think he meant that in more ways than one.
I agree Patty…I just read an article from Access TV, and Caroline the self-proclaimed bulldog said it WILL all come out at the reunion. I know Teresa doesn’t like to back down and/or be a coward, but to go to that reunion and have another bashing is just too much. I really wish she wouldn’t go. What will the b&tches have to talk about – oh, maybe they’ll “role play”.
Do you know how funny it would be if T didn’t show up to the reunion? What would the rest of them talk about and who would they talk to? They would all just be sitting there looking boring as sin.
But isn’t “getting back at them” exactly what she says she is NOT going to do week after week: Not dwell in the past and move forward? Oh well, its all hopeless…esp when they are on a reality show that keeps you on if you keep the ratings high.
Well every person does have their breaking point, so maybe she’s finally reached hers.
BTW- luv this name!! Sprinkles!!!
Yes, but she has not been getting back at them constantly, or trashing them ALWAYS. Jax alone is a freak show of immaturity ! Mel throws digs every week, Kathy and Rosie on twitter, etc. t has not done any of that! Its about time she defend herself somewhat in my opinion. She still did not stoop as low as the others. It does seem hopeless at times, lol, esp when talking about moving on. I think that teresa is the only one who has moved on judging by what I see.
Exactly Michers!
oh T’s moved on but it’s the reunion! They have to rehash the past that day lol. But Teresa hasn’t been doing it and hasn’t been throwing digs every week on the show, in her blog, and on twitter, and she is the ONLY one who hasn’t. I don’t mind at all if Tre blows all their heads off about past incidences at the reunion…but I’d hate to see her doing a story a week like Jac, talking about THEM.
Oh, and michers, in one of your previous replies to me, I didn’t understand that you were asking my opinion of the interview lol! I just re-read it and yes! I did think the tone was weird, or the questions were un-professional. And Teresa did sound different in her answers! I wonder if Tre will say anything if this interview wasn’t exactly kosher…
Kathy has a pool at her tiny house and her home is fully furnished. Prior to RHONJ, Teresa was a stay at home Mom just like Kathy. Teresa’s only claim to fame was shopping and paying cash trying to avoid creditors. Don’t you remember the first season? Besides being funny and being Dina Manzo’s friend, what qualified Teresa to be on this show?
But she’s right. The first time I saw Kathy’s house, i thought the same thing. How is this chick on the real housewives, her house is tiny. She also has no personality, she’s boring. All she ever talks about is T or Rosie. That’s her storyline.
ChristineR – said this down below but i think what T meant about Twitter is that you see the pictures and updates of her with her real friends. it would be tragic if her followers were her only friends (or she had to invite them to her single release party to make herself look good – if T won’t throw jabs, i will!)
LMAO, Lucy! Love your post! Made me laugh out loud!
Yea me too she just so… average (boring)
Yep I truly don’t know why Kat is on the show when I saw her last season I was like who is this woman and her house looks Normal not over the top. *Shurggs* That’s why I say Melissa needed someone to have her back when she joined and Kat did it because she’s jealous of Teresa. What kind of family is that.
Agree. Although, I will say, that weird ginormous picture that they have of their daughter on the staircase landing is “over the top”… and a bit weird, imo… Along with the fact that her daughter has her own picture all over her room. ??? I don’t put pictures of myself all over my house, does everyone else do that????
And her husband is a greasy pig!
Tre sucks with words I think she just meant Kathy didn’t live that housewife lifestyle. She doesn’t go all out you will never see a middle class family on this show. You wanna see big and Glam you know.
And the twitter friend comment I think she spent if you look on her Timeline you could see she always hanging with her friends. At least once a week (I don’t follow her like that) she’s in out with such and such or we just went to dinner with such and such. You know she tweet about hanging with her friends like non-reality stars
I agree Charay! People only do that to Teresa with what she says- I’m over it! Pick apart Jax’s trashy blogs, Mels adorations for Tarzan or something!!!
I think she meant exactly what she said, and I can just hear her saying it, too — “Who would want YOU on the show?” What the hell is wrong with her? What a horrible bitch!
Oh sam, stick it in your pipe and smoke it.
HEHE…
please go away and take your horse-faced no talent sister with you. I can sing and studied music, even went to a performing arts school. Melissa has no talent. Except getting a man to pay her way into fame.
Right on Steph!!!!
I hope Teresa is writing these gems down for the reunion. I really, really do.
Kathy doesn’t fit the criteria. We all have said it on the boards before. The only reason Kathy was cast was because of Teresa, purely to take her down. Kathy is a scumbag, and her son is the biggest JERK on twitter.
She’ stating a fact. The housewives are supposed to be affluent. Bravo made an exception apparently to allow certain people to come on with a specific agenda. Bravo needs to just go away. Looking forward to Teresa having her own show on another network and the rest of them dropping back to civilian life.
I think think that Teresa was just stating the obvious. Kathy’s house is more basic than mine and I live in Alabama and work as a social worker. I’m comfortable here, in a house that I can easily afford, and a great lifestyle, but I’m nit signing up fir shows and trying to make people think I live an affluent lifestyle with my gas station husband. No, it seems like Kathy them are trying to keep up the jones, and are barely scrapping the bottom of the barrel. At least Teresa and her crew where keeping up with the Jones. I also believe that Kathy made comments about Teresa doing the show, and she probably had the same self righteous condescending attitude she displays on the show. The thing that I hate about Kathy is her fakeness. Bitch you are not the voice of reason, you’re not classy, you’re not smart, and you’re not better than anyone else, because if you were you wouldn’t be on tv. I hate how she always have Victoria and Joseph pretending that they’re something that they’re not, I hate everything about Ritchie and Rosie. Bitch you fight with all siblings, don’t try to make yourself look golden because you have one sister singing your praises. How does the other two siblings feel about St. Kathy? The only thing that I like about Kathy is her mother.
excellent post Andrea! And I can just hear Kathy saying to Teresa how much she would NEVER be on a reality show-as a passive/aggressive attack on Teresa for being on one. That’s totally Kathy’s style-just like the “children un-attended” comment. And then what does that lying b*tch do?? Why, she goes on a reality show! Not just any reality show, but the exact one she was putting T down for!! So, what is it Kathy? All of a sudden you decided that being on a reality show was a GREAT idea after all? Or were you hoping for your “piece of the pie” that Teresa baked? Or maybe Melissa asked you to come on with her so you could both “expose” Teresa?
I can’t STAND Kathy!! And that slobbering husband of hers is disgusting!! How on earth does she justify the comments she makes about what a wonderful man he is when week after week, he is acting like a smart-ass teenager? Does this guy EVER have a conversation where he isn’t cracking one liners in an attempt to be funny? Can’t you just imagine the way he told his son about the birds and the bees…?
And agree about Rosie too. I was on the fence about her until she and Teresa had their talk at Teresa’s picnic table. The way T described it, it was a nice moment of visiting with a family member. Then Rosie has to blast Teresa on twitter for daring to mention that Kathy used to have a problem with her being gay! Um, HELLO!?? YOU CHOSE to come on a reality show. YOU CHOSE to go over to Teresa’s with a CAMERA CREW. YOU CHOSE to put your family’s business in the street when you signed on the dotted line. Don’t blame Teresa because something not so flattering to the (fake) image Kathy portrays came out. She is just another lying hypocrite, and I feel bad for Teresa that yet again, a moment she thought she was having with an ally, bites her in the ass when that ally turns it into yet another reason Teresa is a bad person. Rosie can go scratch with the rest of them
I second that comment. I can’t stand Ritchie the worse. I want Andy to put it to Kathy about her husband’s snarky offensive comments about Teresa and gay women. Yeah, I think that the things that he say “jokingly” are disgusting, and he says in the joking manner, so that he can make snide rude comments and get away with. He’s as cunning as a fox, and as ugly as a… Hell, I don’t know what he looks like, I just know that instead of paying for that “affluent lifestyle” that he can barely afford, he should be paying for a dentist.
haha someone on here called him Mr Brylcreem once and I’ve always thought that was perfect! I swear the guy needs a constant “rim shot” sound effect. He’s like the poor man’s Shecky Green…and probably nobody on here even remembers Shecky Green LMAO-showing my age!
I don’t watch WWHL unless someone I LIKE is on so I didn’t see it, but I believe Kathy was on and Andy’s “game” for her involved many of the insulting things Mr Brylcreem has said about Teresa. I still haven’t watched the episode (I DVR’d it) because I really don’t want to watch KATHY! lol
Exactly… Remember when they were leaving for Punta Cana and Richie made that comment to Joey? He said, “Hey Joey, Mommy and I are going to be alone for 7 days without kids, you know what we’ll be doing?”… That was beyond disgusting, and disrespectful, imo. I mean, no kid, especially a teenage boy, wants to think of his Mom and Dad having sex… ugh. If that’s classy and respectful, I don’t want any of it… ew.
The part about Kathy’s home I don’t agree with, because it just goes to show that Kathy and Richie don’t live above there means. To me I don’t understand how she can say that considering Richie and Kathy hasn’t filed for bankruptcy and they are not in no big legal issue like Joe is.
But other than that, I thinks he should have been a little bit harder on the other ladies because they sure as heck don’t hold back on Tre when they talk about her. Just goes to show that Tre can take the high road and leave them in the dust!
Just because the Wakiles haven’t filed for bankruptcy doesn’t mean they’re not having financial issues. Stoopid Housewives had an article talking about Rich’s financial issues and how he couldn’t afford to pay his bills until Kathy started getting paychecks from Bravo.
The Wakilies were sued by Exxon for non payment. Not only did their checks bounce but they tried to blame the bank. Forged a bank letter stating it was the banks fault and got caught!! Exxon terminated the relationship.
Oh and the amount they bounced? Over $100K.
Chicago is not a state….
Lol! If you follow her in twitter ,you will see that she is always hanging out with friends with the kids at their friends homes. She has a lot of friends that love her and defend her in twitter. You don’t see that with Jacqueline. I don’t think Jack has any friends. I believe Teresa was her only real friend. You also don’t have any friends defending Jack or Caroline, only their immediate family.
But it’s true! Look at all the other housewives franchises and look at the houses, even the other houses in RHONJ, then look at the Wakiles. Their house isn’t a big opulent home. They don’t have the same opulent lifestyle as the other housewives. It’s a simple fact. The Wakiles do not fit the housewives franchise, they’re there for nothing other than the drama they can bring regarding Tre. If Teresa wasn’t on the show Bravo wouldn’t have looked twice at the Wakiles.
If you read it properly it says “I was thinking to myself who would want Kathy on the show”. If what the producers are looking for is big houses etc I would think the same! She also said you follow me on twitter I have lots of friends, it’s true, she is always posting pics out with friends etc.
I think Teresa is making a valid point. Kathy’s lifestyle is a lot less extravagant than the other cast members. Sooo, why were the Wakile’s even casted? Connect the dots. Or ‘read between the lines’ LMAO
And while she’s watching this season play out I can’t blame her for getting in some digs now.
Love ya Tre…but you’re not talking to anyone? Please take that as a sign.
Yeah, a sign that you did the right thing. These people talk about and laugh at you behind your back. They have that high school girl clique mentality. What’s there for you? Your cousin even said that she didn’t want to offend Caroline and Jac by having lunch with you, her husband wants to burn you at the stake. And that’s family? They get upset because you won’t share intimate details of your life so that they can talk, laugh and poke fun. And you are the bad one? PLEASE.if anything, what took you so long Tre? There is no love for you there. They are bullies with Caroline as the head bully. May they all be happy together and get what they so richly deserve.
totally agree, Nonna!
Me too!
BOOM!! Right on Nonna!
Wow…. they are gonna bash her for all of this. Only thing I didn’t like was her talking about Kathy not being wanted because of her home. I love Tre, but I didn’t like that comment.
At least she was up front with her opinion, right or wrong.
Felt the same way Josh. I really thought she should have took the high road like she’s been doing and not made that comment regarding Kathy’s house. It sounded very materialistic. But at the same time look at all the awful things they’ve repeatedly said about Teresa!?! There is no winner in all this and that’s the sad part. All this fighting and cruel remarks isn’t gonna make things better.
I agree with Teresa on Kathy not meeting the criteria. The whole idea of the Real Housewives shows are to feature women of privilege and wealth. To show how the other half live – so the average viewer can see that their lives are just as dysfunctional if not mores so than our own. Kathy is the average viewer. Watching her dysfunction is not in the least bit entertaining.
And what kind of person consistently states they could never be on this show, yet jumps on behind her back with MeHo??? She is a horrible family member.
Then what is Teresa doing on there? She’s not only broke but she’s been head over heels in debt since the end of the first season.
Mel and Joe are broke, Jac and Chris are alleged embezzlers, Kathy and Rich had their legal problems with Exxon … Using that criteria, none of them should be there. I say recast this show or cancel it altogether.
Once again Samanta, stfu.
So has everyone else, they just put Teresa on blast to hide their own shortcomings. DUH Samantha.
Oh, shut up, Tildy. It’s been three days since this conversation took place. Grow up, for Christ’s sake.
I agree also. My main issue with it is that she fesses up to having the snide thoughts about Kathy back when they were still super close and before Kathy was on the show. I wouldn’t want my friend to think that, in that way, about me. I’d rather them phrase it in a positive way, like “luckily you’re low key so they won’t hound you to do the show”. If she’d admitted to thinking like she did after Kathy joined, for some reason, I would have given the dig a pass even though it does contradict the message that she puts forth on her blood.
I believe that T probably had that thought, how and when described, because she thought that Kathy was criticizing her about deciding to be on the show. If that’s the case it’s more understandable, I can certainly think snide things when I think someone is being overly critical of me. I just hope that in the future her interviews don’t take digs like that because it negates the positive message that she gives out. Imagine if at the reunion quotes like this are brought up and she’s labeled a hypocrite. I respect her more when she stays above it all.
Good points.
I agree with your second paragraph. I believe all along Kathy has talked to Teresa about things in her life in a demeaning way. Like she is so above Teresa. “I could never do a reality show”, “I could never detach from my children” “Intelligence is another language for Teresa”
- couldn’t do a reality show Huh? Here you are!
- couldn’t detach from her children? You didn’t think about that BEFORE you met with a realtor and started looking at places for your new restaurant? Fake ass.
- If intelligence is another language for Teresa what is your excuse? Your shilling “Red Velvet Cake Vodka”? Really – where is your cookbook? Your dessert book? You came on and showcased YOUR cooking. Now does her food look delicious? Yes it does and I would love to see her capitalize on her desserts cuz they looked awesome, but you clearly are digging at Teresa and I’m sure you’ve been doing it for years.
The only thing I didn’t like about this interview was her comment about Kathy’s house. While it may be a true statement, she didn’t have to put that out there.
The rest of it….to hell with them broads. They deserve whatever wrath Teresa has in store for them. They dished it out, they should be ready to bend over and take it right back.
When I read this is my read I know I read differently from how she said it LOL. But good for her she’s needs to stand her ground and let then know that they are wrong. None of them can say what action she did to them. So what she doesn’t wanna tell her legal business ; so what she made a joke in a damn cookbook lighting the fuck up (they “joke” all the time about her) so what she don’t wanna okay nice with her SIL & cousin (that came on the show behind her back). If you made at her for all those things you never really liked her from the beginning
good bye and good riddens. i would not talk to anyone on the show either. come on, week after week they rip her apart and she is just finding out about it now. they stabbed her in the back. i’d rather have real enemies than fake friends and that’s exactly wat the other ladies were.
i think what T meant about Twitter is that you see the pictures and updates of her with her real friends. it would be tragic if her followers were her only friends (or she had to invite them to her single release party to make herself look good – if T won’t throw jabs, i will!)
the other 4 are not as smart as they think, they cant carry a show on their own, and they are in for a RUDE awakening!! if T leaves, they are all gone. what platform would you then use to sling your sludge water Caro? (ps there’s a fitness article out there that explains that BLK doesnt really have any benefits and your body doesnt need the nutrients in it and that one would be better off just sticking to regular water – i have to find the link)
About freakin time! This is what the viewers have been saying all along! And she damn sure deserves to get the truth out there!
Keep doingg you since they wanted throw jabs in their blogs about her she should be able to speak her mind too. I truly don’t care what she said about froggy face Kat because all the shit her greasy hubby said about Teresa and everybody else say ab her behind her back is worser.
Oh but don’t forget..according to Kathy that’s just Rich’s Great Sense of Humor shining through. BARF!! It’s so frustrating that nobody owns their shit when we see it’s all there right in front of our eyes. Hello reality star peeps, we SEE you! Stop trying to point out people’s mistakes and flaws when you are swimming in your own.
Ok- going on a limb here…
Fellow Catholics…. did you ever think there is a reason that the Giudices have a chapel dedicated to St Michael at their Pocono home?….
I know I have been saying a few St. Mikes for Teresa and her family…
I’m a catholic and you’ve lost me – for the ill and suffering??? Please tell me what you’re thinking hoolie.
staceychris- I think its because St Mike was the defender, warrior if you will, against Satan and evil! ( how fitting right?) St. Michael prayers, to my knowledge as a Catholic,are to deflect evil and strengthen oneself to remain calm and faithful. I may be a little off here, but that is my take!
I do believe you’re onto to something “over time as a protector and the leader of the army of God against the forces of evil” lol Think I’ll start praying for her too – we still have a reunion to tape….ugh
I know.. this is going to be the craziest one yet I think! I don’t want to watch, but I know I will.. ugh. I hate Bravo for doing this to us, lol
St Michael the ArchAngel
Defend us in battle
Be our safeguard against the wiles and wickedness of the devil
Restrain him O God we humbly pray
And do thou oh Prince of the heavenly host,
cast into hell Satan and all the Evil Spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin and destruction of souls
Amen
**And do thou oh Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God**…..
At least Teresa can do the sign of the cross correctly…
She has every right to say this because they do it to her. plus she has reached a point where she can say screw you all!!!
Again, LOVE Teresa but she doesn’t think before she says things sometimes. The comment regarding Kathy’s house was rude, unnecessary and will only dig her in a deeper hole for these bullies. I believe she absolutely should defend herself when they are attacking her, but I think her smartest strategy (which she usually sticks to) is just to keep her mouth shut and let them keep on talking! I’m telling you, she will come out the other side because she is a genuinely good person.
I am so glad Tre is finally speaking out about these a$$ holes.
Me too. She’s taken enough cr*p from them.
I swear to God I thought this was a prank interview by the Daily Beast. I was dying laughing before she even got to the sprinkle cookies.
i did too – i thought there is no way that T is actually speaking her mind about the awfulness of her cast members since she normally doesnt even mention them. What a pleasant surprise right?!
I know! Who knew, right? LOLOL!
ahhhhh Samantha iv been looking to verbally abuse u since last night!
Nice seeing ya girl
now listen up
isnt hilarious how Meho/lookers didnt draw in as many ratings as Teresa did on Sunday when she was on WWHL – ahhahahaha thats cause not that many ppl like her!
And the ones that do-solely watch the show and are mis-informed about the situation –
now about Teresa and this interview
I LOVER HER AND AGREED WITH EVERYTHING SHE SAID EVEN THE SPRINKLED COOKIES
i MEAN COMMON – U ACT ALL BIG AND MIGHTY AND BRING SPRINKLED COOKIES TO A HOUSE ON CHRISTMAS
IS THAT A JOKE?
And i dont give a shit if she was pregnant at the time- she needs to drop that pregnant excuse its getting old
thanks
Katherine, that was so so so so funny that her appearance flopped. HAHAHAHA. What was funnier was she had tweeted about it all week, and thought appearing next to another rapist (I mean mike Tyson) would help her get more ratings. Bitch please.no one wants to see Melissa. LMAAO.
LOLOL! That’s it? That’s what you’ve got? Sprinkle cookies and Mike Tyson?
Ouch! LOLOL!
Thats all I got
ahahahhahahahahaha
bitch -I think most ppl here have PLENTY to say about the team other
but since your very Melissa attached ill tell u – uncle Angelo will make perhaps make an appearnce soon again in your lives- all Melissa needs to do is publically admit that she did the tango with the pole and had some paying customers and no other dirty will come out- shes the example we use to young girls ‘u dont wanna become that-keep your dignitiy’- with regards to Melissa defending herself to reality tonight on twitter – a) that her in-laws didnt wanna go cause the cameras were around is bS – cause they couldve easily asked for the cameras not to film them – b) the boys dont have big birthdays- Teresa said last time how only her parents went over for cake and Teresa wasnt invited – this whole image Lookers tries to pull that shes over the top is hilarious because it sounds like she just wants to be like T – Teresa said it herself – before she came into the family she was this plane jane- Teresa was always over the top- Melissa only became like that cause she saw Teresa being like that – btw im not done
IM JUST GETTING WARMED UP
and for god sake if this is Lysa- honey please for the love of God and all the archangels- go laser that God awful tattoo off your stomach – I havnt seen something so horrific since the Grudge
You think Angelo is going to help? ANGELO? The guy Teresa talked into helping her set up Melissa?
Is this little group of trashy losers and wannabes the only people Teresa has left to talk to? How awful. And I guess she really NEEDS to try to get them on the show, since nobody else can stand to be in the same room with her.
Teresa set up? LOL whether she did or didnt – is not the point – story is out- but I have to admit I think the story stemmed more from Bravo – but hey assuming she did set it up/leaked it: GENIUS
AND KARMA IS A BITCH – i think it was just what Melissa deserved from having her pregnant hormones go and speak to Danielle to get her on RHONJ to bring down Teresa (please note this is Lookers side of the story) – Melissa is NOT her own brand – she will ALWAYS live in Teresa shadows
sorry to disappoint
and nobody wants to film with Teresa ahahahhahaah who are u referring to? the 3 families? (Manzo – Laurita and Gorga/Wakile) – EVERYBODY LOVES TERESA except for those 3 families – please note one of those 3 families is her brother – he married a hooker – u know thats a big disgrace in an italian family – just saying
And why are u calling ‘them’ trashy losers? – is it because u fear what they know- that they can REALLY hurt melissas wifey image -that makes them trashy losers?
the only trashbags are Melissa and her sisters- and believe me Teresa is wayyyy to busy with her life to try getting ppl on the show to bring down her ‘family’ – thats something Joe and melissa will do – Teresa has too much of a heart
Are you Satan? You sound very much like I’ve always imagined Satan would sound like.
lololol!!! I love you Katherine!
Would you like a drool cup?
How about some breath freshener? Could I interest you in some breath freshener?
Whats wrong Samanda – you sound quite upset-Did I hit a nerve Samantha?
Katherine, if I knew you I would kiss you! Can’t wait for “them” trashy ppl ( lauritas, Manzos and Wakile’s) to get what’s coming to them. Joe and Melissa have their own karma that will just keep on coming. And I think Sam is actually Mel’s sister Kim. I’ve addressed her as such several times (including earlier in this blog) and she has not denied it. And Sam too late to deny it now.
How Melissa has not stepped in to stop Samantha, aka, her sister from constantly trashing Teresa, the Gorga Family, Melissa’s niece she suppossedly loves, Gia, on this web site is some of the most sick, demented stuff I have ever seen a family member do. I do think it is funny how every blog calls the Marco sisters the ugly stepsisters name from Cinderella, Grisalda, or Thing 1, Thing 2 or Tweedledee and Tweeledumb. It is always fun that everyone saw through those skanky sisters from day one. I will give you that Melissa has her fans, but everyone thinks her sisters collectively are an ugly joke, emphasize on the Ugly! Maybe we should let Us Magaine or Radar Online see what Melissa’s family is saying. Hmmm…May have to get in touch with my old pr contacts at those mags/sites.
S4 reunion is going to be a damn explosion.
yes – hope T has all her ammo with her, she will need it. she needs to show up with a montage of all of Melissa and Joey’s lies
Jay, I can’t wait!
I want Teresa to sit there, smiling!! Only look at Andy and only talk to Andy, if need be. She should have all of her cookbooks around her, and Donald Trump should be a guest, along with Dina and Crazy Danielle
and announce to Caroline that she will get her formal apology in her next cookbook “Rich and Famous Italian”.
LOL!!!! I move it hannavas! While riding through a stripper carwash, lol
I think Lauren should go work at the stripper car wash. Caroline would have no problem with that
Teresa was right on for calling the Rottweiler a bully!
(apologies to rottweilers everywhere)
I think Teresa needed to get some of the stuff out and let off a little steam here. Who could blame her?
The gloves are OFF!!!
I haven’t sat through a whole episode this season,
but I will glued to the TV when the reunion is aired! It is about time she dished out what she’s been served.
I love Teresa’s grit, her optimism, her smiling in the face of adversity. Everything the haters on the show call fake, I call courage.
However, if I had just said to her “I can’t imagine being on the show and sharing my life with everyone” and her response was “Really, who would even want you?” I might decide to do my damndest to get on the show, just to show her.
“Really, who would even want you?”
These kind of comments about family are why she has haters. She really needs to watch what she says.
UMM….WHO doesn’t have HATERS?
Why should Teresa watch what she says???!!! Nobody watches what they say about her. “Garbage, Fuck You Teresa, Intelligence is a different language, burn the bitch at the stake, hope this boat doesn’t get repossessed, we’ll take one for the team, Teresa is a bully, She won’t be happy until she destroys a family.”
I mean WTF!! How much of a Saint is Teresa supposed to be?? She makes ONE comment about Kathy – which is the truth – that SHE DID NOT SAY DIRECTLY TO HER BUT THOUGHT IT – and SHE NEEDS TO WATCH WHAT SHE SAYS.
Wow wow wow. Are we watching the same show?
I understand that Teresa has had enough with everyone but I wish she didn’t say anything. You know the rest of the cast are going to come out in full force and bash her even more (in their minds they’re the only ones who get to say negative things). *Sigh*
I said the same thing! She should only defend herself when attacked face to face… Otherwise they are just NOT worth her time. She’s way too good for them.
I think she has every right to say most of what she said, and I agree with most of it, but I wish she hadn’t gone there. For so long she just took the high road and it suits her much better IMO. On the other hand, I’m impressed she went so long without doing it because the other women are completely hateful and out of control.
I think she made the comment about Kathy’s house in order to make the point that kathy was only asked on the show to bring T down. Kathy didn’t meet the usual “requirements” so they obviously had another agenda…
exactly
Nice interview!!!! Yup, I agree with Teresa all the way…….
I love Teresa and I’m still a big fan BUT-the reason I love her so much is that she doesn’t call out other people or talk about them behind their back.
The sprinkle cookie explanation was the worst to me. Bring the right dessert..? When someone brings something to your house, you accept it graciously, you don’t criticize it. Those comments make Tre seem small and petty, and she has been so good about taking the high road til now! I completely understand her frustration, but…I hope she doesn’t try to call them all out at the reunion. She’ll do better by just smiling and agreeing to disagree. She doesn’t need to be friends with Caroline, or Jacqueline, now that she’s seen how evil they both are, so there’s no need for them to work things out.
If she wants to work things out with her cousin and her sister in law, that’s up to her-but I don’t think it should be done at the reunion. Have coffee together and discuss all the issues and hurts privately. It would be great if they could all get along and show how a true family can put past hurts in the past and move forward.
I was laughing at that comment, sorry! Bring the right dessert, lol. I hear ya Camm, I am starting to think some of that article was edited. Did the questions seem professional? I think personally she meant Mel knows already what to bring, as she has been in the family, and must have known NOT to bring those cookies but did it on purpose( lol) Im sorry these cookies are killing me!! Hey she is a lady who knows what she likes and what she wants.
LOL arguing about cookies is hilarious! However, I thought T had earlier explained that she tossed the cookies because there were so many homemade goodies that she knew no one would eat them. I have a big Christmas party at my house every year and everyone brings something. I try to send as much home with everyone as I can, and sad to say, SOMETIMES there is a whole plate of something that no one will eat OR take home lol. I usually toss it out the next day…
Well, you and I would be gracious that someone bought something to my parties, and I always say thank you and accept it kindly. But then again, my sister in law didn’t try to come and make me look crazy at my job, and my sister in law know her place. I wouldn’t ever miss the chance to make Melissa feel like shit, if I were Teresa.
OHHH I know right? Just goes to show that Teresa was sincere with her apologies, and has been the only one working toward progression!
I think I read on the famewhorgas site the Danielle did an interview stating that she was talking to Melissa WAY before the sprinkle cookie incident and that the sprinkle cookie incident is directly related to Danielle.
Danielle said in her interview that Melissa took Danielle’s favorite cookies (sprinkle cookies) over to Teresa’s house as a kind of under the table jab at Teresa. Teresa, naturally, flipped out about it. If Danielle is telling the truth, then Melissa was lying again about when she and Danielle started discussing Teresa (she claimed it was a direct result of her online post about the sprinkle cookie incident). Also, Teresa may not want to put it out there that she is aware that her own sister in law was purposefully trying to get a rise out of her at a Christmas party by bringing an enemy’s favorite cookies and then acting innocent (Melissa: “Oh, I’m pregnant and these just caught my attention! I don’t know why you’re upset, Teresa! *eyelash batting*).
Although, if I were Teresa, the gloves would be OFF and Melissa would be forced to eat her words. Teresa is a better person than I am for not publicly and unabashedly outing Melissa and Joey for all of their many transgressions. If she were “trying” to “crucify” them to the world (as Jac and Don C claim) don’t you think she could have done it a lot easier than being underhanded? I mean, these people have so many skeletons in their closet they have to keep their closet door tied shut with bungee chords! Just the fact that the viewers already know most of Melissa’s lies and sins and yet Teresa continues to gloss over them tells me that she knows WAY more than she is saying and chooses not to verbalize the whole truth out of compassion for someone other than herself (her parents, her children, her niece & nephews, her brother, who knows!).
Kate- you are on the money honey !! I thought that too about Sprinklegate, lol! Melissa is a very calculating snake. She does not act on impulse nor a heart of love- its all premeditated and that is creepy.
Agree, enought already with the sprinkle cookies. Eat them if you want, or don’t. Teresa doesn’t get we’re not all Italian, so I can’t fathom what she is saying.
I am glad that she is sticking up for herself, but something doesn’t seem right with that interview, like the person answering doesn’t quite sound like teresa, like the writer maybe took some liberties, maybe that is just me?
mari, I thought the same thing!!! I stated something to camm above! It was a little odd, yes? Somewhat sounded like T, but something was missing or off! It did not seem professional.
I’m wondering if it was a one on one interview and they were chatting about this and that – it’s easy to relax and say things to people when you don’t think you are being over heard – like working in cubicles and forgetting the walls don’t reach the ceiling and people can hear.
I agree…there is something not right about this interview. The interviewer’s questions – it’s just fishy and not professional.
Love Teresa. But I liked it better when she ignored these women rather than talking about her problems with them. Ignoring people makes a much stronger statement than bringing them up.
I don’t like the comment about the sprinkle cookies because I feel like anything that someone brings to your house should be welcomed. I also don’t care for the comment about Kathy. I agree with the comment and I imagine that Teresa said it because she felt like Kathy was judging her when she said that she wouldn’t do the show. Naturally, Teresa’s thought is “don’t worry about that, you don’t fit the show.” Natural thought, but not very nice to say.
The best part of the interview is how she doesn’t bring up Jacqueline at all. That should drive Jac nuts. Again, not saying something about someone makes the strongest statement of all. Shows that they don’t matter.
Caroline was on Access Hollywood yesterday and I think that’s why Teresa felt the need to respond. Caroline is trying to call her out the same way Mel and Kathy tried to do on The View. I agree that Teresa should just ignore all of them.
hmmm I didn’t know that. What did Caroline say?
never mind, just googled it lol. Caroline sounds pretty pumped for the reunion!
I saw that. This woman hasn’t learned a thing. I speculated the other day that Caroline would try to tone down the hate at the reunion and act like Lady of the Manor in an effort to salvage SOME of her reputation because she had FINALLY got the message – fans aren’t digging her behavior. I guess I was wrong.
I call BS…I really can’t see T making comments like that about the cookies. I can’t see her saying that about Kathy’s house either. It just doesn’t ring true to me. I can totally see any one of the others putting the story out to make T sound unkind.
Teresa has not said anything all this time…why now?
Hardy, my feeling is that she has simply had it. Remember, the entire cast is now reliving each episode that was taped last year.
Teresa may have an inkling that she may be moving on to better things, or if she is going to stay on RHONJ, there will be some cast changes, and she is taking back her personal power to make the point that if she does tape the next season, she will not stand for this ganging up/mean girl behavior any longer.
Danmmmmmmmm I love T. I know we’re are all use to T putting up with those bitches bullshits and not responding but i was kinda of hoping that she would respond. Like how much can you take before you break. She did better than I ever could. I would have exploded on those bitches like there was no tomorrow. Can’t wait for the reunion, i think this mite be a taste of what to expect. T is tired of their bullshits and she’s not just going take it. She’s firing back.
Can’t wait to see those bitches face @ the reunion.
P.S. I’m sure they going to respond to this but who give a shit….with all the things they’ve said about T its about time they got a taste of their own medicine.
100% agree she isn’t perfect but she is right the rest of them are lunatics
Part of this interview actually shows the catty, bitchy side of Teresa. Puts into perspective why Kathy treats her the way she does. I would be really pissed if someone would say to me “who would want you”. Seems mean spirited especially since Teresa’s glitter life is somewhat tarnished. I don’t know …. if I’m not speaking to you, I am not going to waste my time speaking of you. Where were her PR people on this one? Unnecessary fodder to start more conflict. I wish she wouldn’t even talk about them anymore.
She gave the cast more ammunition to use against her by making these comments. It’s a shame.
RJ, I think Teresa is right for standing up for herself. By the way, these women are going after Teresa at the reunion regardless of what Teresa says or doesn’t say. It doesn’t really matter now if Teresa shows up at the reunion and doesn’t speak a single word. Most Viewers Are Not Approving Of Caroline, Jacqueline, Kathy and Melissa. We got Teresa’s back. These women have out-casted themselves. Think about it.
Teresa may get bullied by four women, but Teresa has over 2 million viewers behind her.
Deb V, If you watch Teresa enough, she wasn’t saying to Kathy, “Who Wants You?” to be superior. What Teresa is saying is that Bravo has standards and like people of wealth. It is a little odd that Bravo would suddenly CHANGE their casting requirements and make Kathy a housewife knowing she didn’t meet the Bravo Housewife standard. Big House, Big Money and Big Drama. That’s the Bravo standard. I think since Bravo went against all those standards to bring Little Ole Kathy on the show, is PROOF that Bravo only brought Kathy on to degrade and humiliate Teresa. It’s Very Obvious Bravo, Melissa and Kathy are setting up Teresa.
I just cannot believe that after what we have seen them put her through, that someone would think its wrong of her to finally say something back! I mean, if you don’t like Teresa thats fine, buts it has not been enjoyable to watch her so called fam and friends constantly revolve the show around her and talk so badly all the time!
I completely agree! I have watched every HW franchise show from the very start with HWOC and I have never seen any show with all members against 1! other than danielle although she was a bit “off” (looking back now i know why she was paranoid bout the cast) she wasnt as strong as tre!
Still wish someone could tell me why Andy and bravo have set out to bully tre! What did she do to piss them off so much to try and bring her down? Good for her for standing strong in the midst of everyone around her turning their back on her, bullying her and attacking her. How dare her family go against her and side with the Manzo/laurita family! OMGOSH wimpy kathy not wanting to upset caro because she was havin lunch with tre. WTF! y is she worried bout caro but not worried bout helping to turn tre’s life upside down! shame on all of them! And shame on bravo and andy for allowing all this bullying to occur amoungst adults when we are trying to teach our kids not to bully! you would think with suicide on the rise because of bullying especially (ANDY TAKE NOTE)amoungst the gay community one would think andy cohen and bravo would be against bullying! you can have drama without bullies!
I really hope tre brings it during the reunion. It’s time she has her say, it’s time she calls them all out for talking behind her back it’s time she ask them all to explain why they are attacking her!
final note I truely believe the reason jac is losing it is because she knows she is trying to destroy her friend of many years JUST to give bravo what they want and I dont think she is cut out to be that cold and she’s breaking.
i hope bravo is happy they are making money by seriously destroying peoples lives!!!!
Proud Jersergirl, I wonder what is wrong with Bravo and Andy Cohen for pitting a family against each other. Think about that. Bravo is trash and so is Andy Cohen. Can you imagine doing this to a family? Bravo and Andy are the destruction of a family unit. All housewives on all these shows should be speaking out against what has taken place on RHONJ, as Bravo and Andy Cohen can and will easily commit this same act against them. Is being on a reality t.v. show that important to these housewives that they don’t care if Bravo brings in family members to pit one against the other?
Thanks for your comment and I agree with what you are saying. I just wish Teresa had left that particular sentence out of the interview. As an enterprising businesswoman, I think she needs to choose her words and phrasing carefully and continue to protect her image and brand.
she said she was THINKING who would want you after Kathy was saying to her I couldnt be on the show in true Kathy passive aggressive style.
The liquor pig should not have been out there doing interviews the last four weeks. Now Teresa is going to come out swinging…. Liquor pig better run for the bottle now! I think Teresa took the gloves off and its about damn time! GO TERESA KICK BUTT!!!!
No doubt, Melissa brought the sprinkle cookies to ad insult to the Gorga and Giudice’ family. She was making a degrading statement. You don’t take cheap grocery store made goods to an old-tradition Italian family. As a matter of fact, you don’t take cheap sprinkle cookies to any family, and especially on holidays. Not Even Halloween. April 1st is the only time you can actually get away with it. Teresa threw the cookies in the trash and frankly, Honestly, Teresa was being decent about it. I would have thrown them back in Melissa’s face and asked her to leave. Melissa was making a bad statement to the family.
You are so right. I come from a very large Italian family and I am sorry but the “accept anything a dinner guest brings rules just does not apply here”…maybe if it was a neighbor or guest but not a sister or sister-in-law. Melissa knows darn well that the person hosting the Italian holiday celebration, Teresa in this case, has been cooking a million dishes for probably three days straight. If your sister or mother assigns you say the extra…dessert or the appetizer, you better put even some minimal effort into it as a sign of respect to how hard your family member is working to host the event. Trust me, Melissa knew darn well how these things work in Italian families and she brought cheap, store made cookies as an insult to Teresa and her mother-in-law. If one of my 3 sister-in-laws or sisters showed up with a bag of Oreos after I shopped, cooked for days when she was only to help with dessert , she would be teased for years no doubt.
I can’t stand Melissa, but I think Joey is worse. She may be a famewhore, but he goes along with all her crap. If I recall correctly, Melissa was pregnant at the time, he could have gotten off his ass and made some kind of acceptable dessert and avoided the whole incident. Whether it was a malicious sign of disrespect or just all she was up to because she was tired, he could have put a stop to it if he really cared about her relationship with his family.
he has some kind of mental disorder ..
a disgustin’ pig with lil’ man complex !
i applaud this comment ! brava ! hahahaa
I hear ya- Traditional Italian meals here also! For instance at Xmas we made Pizzelles, Easter we make Taralli.. list is endless, lol! But always delicious
I agree. Knowing Mel and how phoney she is, she was probably bringing the cookies as a jab to be disrespectful. Like, “I don’t even like Teresa, don’t want to even be here, so I’ll just pick up some cheap cookies to bring bc I don’t even care….” that and probably the fact that Mel can’t cook.
sprinkle cookies are disgusting and she shouldnt have brought them. sorry i’m not sorry. the dish you bring to someone else’s house is a representation of yourself and of your gratitude for the host!! she could have bought something much better than $3.99 sprinkle cookies. i would never bring anything like that anywhere i went! melissa has no class or etiquette.
i’m sure the sprinkle cookies were deeper for T. her bro brings home a cheap hooker and then the cheap hooker has to bring cheap dessert! I know most people don’t understand the cookie thing, but it is a big deal for people who do a lot of entertaining, etc.
I said this further up on a different thread:
I think I read on the famewhorgas site the Danielle did an interview stating that she was talking to Melissa WAY before the sprinkle cookie incident and that the sprinkle cookie incident is directly related to Danielle.
Danielle said in her interview that Melissa took Danielle’s favorite cookies (sprinkle cookies) over to Teresa’s house as a kind of under the table jab at Teresa. Teresa, naturally, flipped out about it. If Danielle is telling the truth, then Melissa was lying again about when she and Danielle started discussing Teresa (she claimed it was a direct result of her online post about the sprinkle cookie incident). Also, Teresa may not want to put it out there that she is aware that her own sister in law was purposefully trying to get a rise out of her at a Christmas party by bringing an enemy’s favorite cookies and then acting innocent (Melissa: “Oh, I’m pregnant and these just caught my attention! I don’t know why you’re upset, Teresa! *eyelash batting*).
wouldn’t be surprised. this rings pretty true
Aha! So they’re not just ORDINARY sprinkle cookies!
Good For Teresa! Doncha just love, love, love her?
i wish her the best ..
one thang i cants stand is a ‘lynch-mob gang-bully’ mentality ..
she’s a tough cookie ! and a great mother ..
i think she won over alot of fans this season …
MANNN IT’S ABOUT DARN TIME!!! YOU GO SUPER T. WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TERESA TO COME OUT SWINGING AND FINALLY IT HAS HAPPENED. IN TEREA’S WORDS ” LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT”! I hope the other ladies trying to use what she said against her now. If they do they are going to continue to keep her on top of the game. The more these banchies jump up and down screaming “we hate teresa” the more people want to see teresa rise! So ladies keep it up you are only giving us more reason to support teresa and not YOU!
it was absolutely disrespectful …..
a good bottle of wine ( or a case) would have been fine if she was truly ‘ unable to bring something ..
not like they’re broke ..
she is NOT italian ..lol
cook some ‘strufolli fer’ chrissakes !!!!
I absolutely believe that Teresa must move forward and cut the ties with RHONJ. All this crap is too painful and toxic. If she needs to cut her brother out of her life, that’s another story, as there are children involved who adore their cousins.
What a flippin hypocrite, one minute she’s a college graduate, the next excusing herself being an idiot by saying she was brought up Italian. That’s an insult to us 1st generation Italians brought up in the same situation. She states she has not probs with Kathy but disses her constantly in the article “you’re not good enough” right, u have to rip off creditors and charge everything to be on reality TV. This one hit wonder should really STF up because every time she speaks she digs herself in deeper. The constant inconsistencies are just ridiculous now. She knows she has to keep this going, if this dies down so will her ‘career’. She’s to stupid to realize good/bad publicity. And to her ‘fans’ or ‘friends’ – If she was really your favorite, you would be helping her by calling her out she’s putting foot in mouth. Everyone knows rewarding a child for bad behaviour doesn’t work, do her a favor.
Please don’t make us Italians look any worse, Most of us are literate, we say ‘you’ instead of ‘yous’ we’re hardworking, we pay our bills on time, and we use credit only when necessary & not to finance a lifestyle. We’re nothing like this group, this goes to the rest of the NJ crew also. #embarrassing #stereotyping
Ooh Why u Mad Tho o_0
hahahahaha….why u mad, that’s why u mad, that’s why u mad…hahahah…
Ooh Why u MAD tho o_0
not mad at all, but ALL the NJ wives say bull$hit about each other, and everyone seems to think this one’s word is the ‘truth from God mouth’. She’s dissing her cousin & SIL again in the article, in one breath says no problems while getting in that dig. Traditions or not, I don’t recall anyone in my family EVER holding a huge grudge due to sprinkle cookies, we assign a food group and they bring, doesn’t matter what they bring it’s the thought, we hold grudges yes but over serious stuff but sprinkle cookies, seriously???. She said on this show Milania was named after Milan. She told Trump Milania was named after his wife. Millions viewed, nobody called her out on that lie? Right there in the article she give you the reason she can’t stand her SIL. Started within the first year of meeting her. SHE felt her brother & Melissa moved to fast, never liked it and never will. That’s were the bad feelings started. For the first time in his life he probably did something he wanted instead of what his family wanted him to do and he’s going to pay for the rest of his life. She’s always stating family is important and her parents and not exposing them, blah, blah, blah, then brings her mother & MIL to a nightclub gig. really?? Her foot in mouth disease is getting worse everytime she publicly speaks, she wants to be the next ‘Bethany’ then stop totally with these old issues and concentrate on her books or her hair or whatever she’s trying to conquer. That’s the other problem. She’s tagging her name to anything everything. Stick with what you know and branch from there. Nobodies going to remember all these ridiculous products because they don’t relate, food, hair, teeth, none have the same branding. She’s all over the map. Why would I watch a whole hour on someone who as of right now definitely doesn’t have her $hit together. Of all these ‘real’ wives only a couple have had breakout ‘careers’. This wife is definitely not in the running, there is no substance to her. Her fans really want her claim to fame being a solo show about her while her hubbys in jail for an assortment of offenses. Really?
Please. Joe Gorga is a pig who does whatever he wants and his family has spent a lot of time and money trying to clean up the messes he’s left behind over the years. The poor put-upon dutiful son who “finally” did something he wants role doesn’t fit him at all. An ungrateful spoiled brat isn’t the same thing as a long suffering martyr.
IMO, Obviously Teresa does have substance. She was smart enough to know that this Reality tv gig isn’t going to last long so she may as well use it to her fullest potential. She utilized this time earning a living for her family. She wrote one, two, three best selling cookbooks. Now she is producing and manufacturing her own wine. She’s not wasting away singing and spending her own money making a music CD, which is a useless waste of time and personal money. Joe Gorga spent a lot of money for a recording studio. What a waste of His Own Money. Melissa is wasting money paying for people to work the recording studio, write the music, make a cd, and then if that isn’t enough of wasted money, Melissa has a freaking party… For her own “Premier” party and top it off, she plays a pre-recorded version rather than sing it live because guess Why? She Can’t F–king Sing!! Teresa Isn’t Spending Money On A Useless Product That Will Not Sell! Smart Teresa. Teresa is obviously not stupid.
Oh and I forgot to mention how more personal cash was wasted on Melissa’s dancing lesson. Melissa and Joe are spending through money like water for a silly career that should have been started long before Melissa was Thirty-something. If Melissa wasn’t a professional singer by the age of twenty-five, she certainly isn’t going to be one in her thirties. Melissa and Joe are brainless morons making one big ass together.
By the way, Melissa and Bravo are so fake, they don’t even show Melissa’s biological mother. The woman you saw was Melissa’s step-mother. We know who Melissa’s Real Mother Is.
The Gorga’s don’t pay their bills. Joe has over 20 liens and suits filed against him for non payment. The Christmas Party for the kids? Fab Fred wasn’t paid his $50K and is suing them.
Teresa and Joe withdrew their bankruptcy and are paying off their creditors. She is working so hard to get her family and life back on track. For you to knock hard work and dedication like that. I’m sure she would rather be at home with her kids but she rose to the challenge.
I just cannot stand when people knock Teresa. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN HER SITUATION? Have you ever had your life turned upside down? On national TV? Then have your family come to your work place and tell everyone you suck and try to make your friends and coworkers hate you and make you lose your JOB and INCOME? How do you NOT SEE IT?
This shit is just Kray Kray to me.
Wasn’t there some discussion at some point that these were the cookies the Sr. Gorga use to by from the same place Melissa bought those cookies?
Look, I’m not a big fan of anyone on RHONJ, but IMO Teresa should be held to the *same* standards as everyone else on the show, and IMO, she’s being quite hypocritical here…
“Cause I haven’t done anything.”
Oh Teresa, you know very well that’s not true. You have done *some* things that have not been exactly nice, just like everyone else in the cast. Come on.
“bring the right dessert to someone’s house!”
Seriously? Let’s put that ridiculous reason to hate-on someone in the “some things that you have done” column (see above).
“Melissa was his third fiancée.”
Why bring this up at all if not to bring up the past? Didn’t you announce in therapy that you never hold a grudge? That’s not really the truth now is it?
“I used to be like, ‘Really? Who would even want you?’ I used to think to myself like that. It was so funny to me.”
Again… seriously? That’s really pretty crappy to think of someone, especially your family. But I guess the producers don’t agree with you since they cast Kathy with her less than extravagant house anyway.
“I have a lot of friends. I mean, you follow me on Twitter, you’ll see I have a lot, a lot of friends.”
Twitter friends? LOL.
“Maybe because now I am a New York Times best-selling author”
“I’m humble–I’ll always be humble.”
Oh Teresa. Sometimes I really do like you, but then other times like this… not so much.
Teresa’s the only one who’s admitted she screwed up and apologized for it. But she’s right. She hasn’t done anything that would justify how she’s being treated and she hasn’t done anything comperable to what the other women have done, and they won’t admit they’re wrong for a second. I’m sorry, but if I’m dealing with a bunch of aggressive loons who think they’re entitled to do whatever they want and take any apology from me as a license to get on me more, no I’m not going to take that opportunity to do a lot of introspection on my shortcomings and hand them ammunition. I’m just going to accept that they’re a lot more wrong than me and move on. She also didn’t bring up the cookies at all, they asked about it. And they asked because Melissa was so victimized by the cookie incident that it’s one of the “major grievances” and constant digs of this show. I’m sorry but my family has done worse to me and I got over it. It’s annoying but move on. She’s supposed to do major penance for every bit of bull Melissa, Kathy, Kac, and Caroline can dream up, but is not allowed to be petty right back?
Let’s be real. Kathy is not Real Housewives material in any way. If she auditioned as an unknown, her tape would have been thrown in the trash as quick as Rosie’s. She’s not rich, she’s not connected socially, she’s not glamorous and she’s not cute. There are other Housewives who aren’t cute (Caroline comes to mind), but there aren’t many who combine not being cute and not being rich and not being social and not being glamorous because they’re supposed to contribute something to the vibe of the show. Kathy was cast for one reason only, to stir up drama against her family. Sure, Teresa shouldn’t have said it because it’s just more ammunition to fuel Kathy and the others’ victim complex, but it’s true, and if someone like Kathy was busting my chops about being on a reality show, I’d also think bs, you’d jump at the chance if they wanted you, but why would they? And gee gosh, Teresa was right, when Kathy got the call she did jump. So what does that say? I don’t see a spinoff series, “Boring poor ugly people with tiny houses” taking off anytime soon.
Oh You Go Capile! Tell It Like It Is And Did Not Hold Back!
I also think its important to note: Per Andy Cohen, Teresa was approached by Bravo and took months for her to decide if she wanted to do it. Melissa on the other hand sought out Bravo to be on the show over and over and over again. That right there speaks volumes.
Caroline blames Teresa for her sons being in jail overnight at Punta Canta and for Dina not speaking to her because she’s embarrassed and it’s a bad reflection on her and we all know Caroline is perfect. NOT! Also Teresa wouldn’t submit to Carolines every order because Teresa has her own mind and is teaching her girls to think for themselves too. I’m sure it’s obvious to everyone that Carolines kids don’t think without checking in with mommy first. There are plenty of successful people who can carry on a romantic relationship and for C to question a grown man (Albie) is a negative way to keep him under her control. Gross. The definition of bully: Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or “coercion” to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. DOES this remind anyone of Caroline? I mean she already has a past of doing this to Danielle. And for the record I was bothered by the way they treated D.S. because she is a humanbeing.
