Not surprised with Caroline’s response! LOL! I love New Jersey simply because the kids are a big part of the show!

    I think that Caroline’s kids are the reason Bravo kept her on the show. She’s pretty boring without them.

    • Say What?? says:

      ITA but im glad she is admitting her children are adults.

      Whats with growing her hair long and trying to look sexy? ……..?!

      • Anna Firenze says:

        Caroline looked super-fine with her hair shorter and a bit more blazing red. I loved that look for her, especially with those blue eyes.

      • FakeBlog says:

        I think the long hair looks great on her!

        Love this site but it’s a bit biased. Why no blog about Teresa getting paid for her apology? It’s all over the web. One of the editors at In Touch confirmed it.

        • pinkie says:

          Why should she not get paid? I do not understand the outrage. Teresa’s SIL and her Stump brother charge > $40 per to see them at appearances.

          All the housewives should be paid for their appearances if they are desirable to the audience they should be paid.
          I for one would need alot more than $6500 to apologize to those women. they are vile

    • meg says:

      How come no one mentions that her daughter gave up on her business in one day… Everyone is so hard on Ashley yet Lauren slipped under the radar. That is terrible that she just gave up.

      • Heidi says:

        Ditto Meg!!!!

      • Say What?? says:

        Agree!! Lauren is no better than Ashley aside from maybe Lauren doesnt party as much? Ashleys problem seems to be partying. I feel like they have done more damage to Ashley simply by using her as a storyline. She has taken a beating. None of us would admit to wanting our children to act like her at 20.. but geez give the girl a break.

        • Reenie says:

          I agree, They bash Ashley. But Caroline kids make mistakes & nothing is said. Caroline even tells Jac she is an “enabler”.

      • Me says:

        Cause everyone is throwing a pity party because she is overweight. Walking on eggshells.

      • pinkie says:

        she didn’t give up Cat Face yet, has she?

  2. Acacia says:

    Don Caro’s children are all adults!! Who exactly is she raising? They get PAID to be there, and sign their own wavers.

    • Rach says:

      Caroclown still thinks and acts like her children are 5 years old. She literally has no identity outside of her children. That’s why she acted like the world was ending when her sons moved out. You’d think she was sending them off to war or something. And poor Lauren clearly does not matter. She’s all about her boys.

  3. just sayin says:

    what a phony bunch of famewhores they r exactly like kris jenner selling out her famewhore kids n grandkids, lets face it they have no life no jobs and bravo pays them to dance like a monkey or eat like a cow in lauren s case. mama bear needs a haircut n to lose weight herself omg mehoe wit the fake hair n crazy sandmonkey lover kathy making them crazy monkey eyes eeeeeeeeeewwwww what trash!

    • gold & kajal says:

      @ “just sayin” Think and say what you want about these “ladies” but do you have to make such racist comments? I mean is that really necessary? As a Middle Eastern American, I take a ton of offense at the “sand monkey” comment. Anyway, it just ends up making you look like a bigot.

  4. cammierari says:

    gee that video kind of shoots the Punta Cana theory out of the water as the reason the Don wants an apology! She says her grown children are the ones to hold responsible for any poor behavior, so I guess Tre’s in the clear!

  5. Nonna Gabi says:

    This is a serious question. Is Caroline sick? She looks washed out and does not have good coloring.

    • Say What?? says:

      Shes trying to change her image, grow her hair out and become “sexy” RUN!

    • michers says:

      I am sure she is tired! All the storytelling and troublemaking has exhausted her. She could also be so tired form constantly talking about Teresa!

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

      I agree. Caroline’s hair looks flat and it is not a good length for her. Her coloring is a little off, but that may be because she is pale sitting next to two uber-tan women. She doesn’t look well.

    • Annah says:

      I’ve noticed this too, at first I thought the longer hair was dragging her face down, but now it looks like more than that, she DOES look ill. Maybe the menopause is just a cover for something else that she doesn’t want to share with the world. As much as I can’t stand Caroline I don’t wish illness on ANYONE!

      I hope Melissa’s daughter Antonia will be strong like Gia and take advantage of being on the show instead of becoming a wreck from the criticism that she will take and end up with security issues like Ashlee. At 7 years old I’m sure kids have started to say SOME things to her. Melissa says she will handle it when it happens, but I’m not sure she will even recognize it.

    • JanieG says:

      Often when people are angry, holding grudges and unforgiveness it shows on their face — all that anger can definitely make you ill or at least look ill.

    • Jenny says:

      I think Caroline is looking like a drowned rat these days. Her hair isn’t very flattering. She definitely needs a little volume and a darker shade. I’d actually like to see her as a brunette. I think she may have said before that’s her natural color. Lauren should help her out.

  6. PixelDust says:

    .

    Yeowza….on the above pic, if Caroline were to don a George Washington hat, she’d be Ben Franklin’s twin!

  7. lee says:

    All the skeletons that are coming out of the closet are going to afffect Melissa’s kids in the future. One day, Mel and Joe are going to be held acccountable for destroying his family. This show should teach a very important valuable lesson, If you want a career in the entertainment industry do it the old fashion way. Start out writing your own songs and sing int clubs or act in theatres and commercials. The foundation of the Gorga career was built on hate towards their sister. You start by hate, you will only receive hate in return.

  8. michers says:

    Hmmm… I like how Caro says one thing about her adult kids, but does another for all of us to see and hear. Kathy really does seem to have good grounded kids. Melissa kids are too young right now, I hope they stay good especially with her traveling constantly with her hubby to do so many appearances and what not.Then she would have to hear Jac say they need attention from mommy just like Ash!

  9. Belle557 says:

    I wonder if its possible for Melissa to play with her hair anymore than she does?

    Kathy looked really pretty :)

    • 2lou says:

      I noticed that too. Melissa must not have known the camera was on her when Kathy was speaking. Caroline looks completely washed out and unhealthy. Not a good look .

  10. BRETT says:

    Love how they’re still promoting this show, when Teresa is too busy to find time!

  11. LilMama says:

    As a mom of 3 with 2 of my kids in high school, there is no way my kids would want my husband to go on TV talking like Joe Gorga does. They wouldnt want to go to school and face their friends after their father was on tv talking poisin and orgasms. Same for Kathy and rich and the lube and the disrespectful way joe guidice talks to Teresa. Just a no win situation where the kids are concerned. In my opinion anyway.

  12. amnicoli says:

    I think Carolyn has gained weight and is stressed out on skeletons in her own closet that will eventually be revealed. Melissa is more concerned on how she looks for the camera than the question itself. Thank God her children don’t know what’s going on yet! Their parents are at every Tom, Dick & Harry’s doing promo’s, appearances and whoring themselves around! At least Joe Giudice is home with his kids when Teresa is doing book signings.

    • LilMama says:

      Not sure if Joe Guidice being home with his kids is that much of a good thing. He was lucky to have Gia there who seemed more responsible than her father did.

  13. LUCY says:

    Wow… Mehos kids are going to need rehab before they hit high school. Their parents behavior on this show is going to affect them so much. Kids at school are mean and repeat what they hear from their parents. I feel so bad for them. Plus with the money they have access to means the more expensive the drugs they are going to have access to. Imo…

  14. Flowers says:

    Caroline just gets uglier and uglier; inside and out. Hateful bully of a woman. Melissa you’re just a gold digging whore and Kathy you’re just a weak jealous follower.

    • julie says:

      I agree 100 %

    • Tina says:

      Amen!

    • JanieG says:

      Funny, when I first saw the photo of the Toxic Trio on the blog, my first thought was that old adage our mommas taught us: see…hear…speak no evil — and the 3 monkeys with their hands in appropriate positions (over eyes, ears, mouth).
      Imagined caption under photo of these three: think evil …speak evil….do evil. They are not backing down and seem pretty confident about something that looms ahead that will support them — Posche Fashion Show, maybe?? Has there ever been anything come out about what REALLY happened that night?

  15. Tina says:

    I’m waiting for the truth to come out about Melissa’s relationship with Danielle. Why would Danielle tell Teresa “you didn’t go visit your nephew when he was born” if it hadn’t come from Melissa? Where would Danielle get that from? Her own head, out of nowhere? I don’t think so. It all makes sense. The problem is no one is talking about this and I don’t get it. It’s so obvious and it’s so important for the public to know just what Melissa is.

    • Donna says:

      I’ve been wondering if Danielle is still under contract by Bravo

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      Yes and if you remember Tree and Mel’s little powwow at Jac’s early on in season 3, Mel HARPED on that not visiting the kid in the hospital thing. She used those exact words too. How did Danielle know not only exactly what Melissa was irritated about, but the exact phraseology ?

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        My guess is the truth will never come out, Tina because BRAVO doesn’t want it to. It would prove or at least indicate Mel’s real motives and throw a wrench in her BS story that BRAVO approached her, instead of the truth, which is she clawed, lied, begged, colluded with crazies ( Danielle) and promised to ” Bring Teresa down” to get on the show. BRAVO is complicit and liable about what happened to Teresa because they let the witch on the show knowing exactly what her motives were. To cover his a*s, Andy conducted a cursory, proforma questioning of Mel at the season 3 about this which produced NADA. He sorta… kinda, gently asked her it about it and then let her lying/non answer slide as soon as it came out of her mouth. I’m sure as far as BRAVO concerned, they’ve covered this issue already. The only person who could now out Mel is Danielle, which leads to…

        A lot of ppl said it must not be true, because if it were, Danielle would have produced the evidence already. Well, to that, I say, there might not be any evidence. Danielle’s motives at the time were to destroy Teresa and that meant colluding with her mortal enemy. I’m sure she wasn’t concerned with preserving evidence that proved she did this. You save emails that HELP you, you DELETE ones that prove you did something shady. She might not have saved the email OR she just might not want to give Teresa the satisfaction of a “win” by producing it, which it most definitely would.

    • michers says:

      No one evergets any answers about the others’ dramas! So frustrating especially because they only ever talk about T.. Grrrr! It gets questioned and somehow best swept under the carpet.

  16. WTFisBravoThinking? says:

    I find it annoying that Teresa and Joe’s problems are always a focus-point on the show and we never hear about the lawsuits of the other housewives and cast. I understand Bravo won’t address the Punta Cana fight, but what about the blk. lawsuit, all of Joe Gorga’s lawsuits, and the Jac/Chris Laurita lawsuit????
    Shady…don’t you agree?

    • Aunt Julie says:

      Don’t forget about Albert Manzo’s stealing from the state to get free health insurance which paid for his gastric bypass surgery and Caroline’s lap band surgery!

  17. jmm27 says:

    Caroline…huge bleh! She’s only 5 years older than me, and I asked my husband while we (well, really me…he was just subjected to the show because of me) if I looked as old as her. He said ARE you serious – he thought she was in her mid to late 50′s. And, I’m here to tell ya, it’s not all menopause, I went through post-surgical menopause at the AGE of 35! #1) I did not become a bitter, angry person. This is the “real” bitter, mean not aging well Caroline. Melissa – are you serious – playing with her hair like a 20 year old and only caring about herself. Everyone gets on Teresa’s case for the way Joe Guidice says things in front of their children (which I don’t condone), but excuse me, doesn’t Joe Gorga to the same exact thing, and Antonio is NOT that young anymore that she’s not taking this in. Not going to comment on Kathy, because I think she’s #1) boring, and #2) her husband digusts me.

  18. cats-eye says:

    It is true what they say on the video except for Theresa’s oldest Gia,i can only pray that she keeps her busy like they do but if things continue like it is with 2 kids already knowing daddy is a cheater ,moms never home, you will see drug abuse ,early signs of sex ,runaway the whole 9 yards.I was shocked the first episode and all the comments in the cookbook are mean and what she said to her brother my god i don’t even wanna be called a fan of hers until she changes her tune!!!

  19. Rosalie Marie, says:

    How boring. See, this is all they have without Teresa.

  20. Rosalie Marie, says:

    The ladies discuss the challenges of raising children in the spotlight!

    This is funny considering Caroline and Kathy’s children are, well, old enough to decide if they want to be on the program or not. Grow Up.

  21. reddvette says:

    Ashlee is acting out. Jacq throw her aside once the show started for the Manzo family. Ashlee was not a Laurita/Manzo and a girl there fore a nonfactor. Lauren is just an unhappy mean, hateful, vengeful woman and her is not the reason.

  22. Me says:

    Funny how she forgets to say that she paid the PN in DR to get her sons off the hook for beating up a tourist. One of the Manzo’s boy is super gay. Why is this not out in the open? He hangs out in Paterson, everyone knows it.

    Kathy’s kids seem like cool and straight arrow kids. Of course, like every teen they will have their issues.

    The Gorga’s kids are too small to know but eventually … well, by then they will ALL BE “HAS BEEN”!

    Teresa’s girls… Oh boy. I think they are exposed to way too much and their dad acting a fool doesn’t help. She needs to pray that they come out at least decent.

    Laurita’s. If the same person who raised Ashlee is in charge… Poor kids.
