My oh my how things have changed! Alexis Bellino took to her blog to discuss what happened on Monday’s past episode slamming Gretchen Rossi and calling her out for being a hypocrite regarding Alexis being invited to Tamra’s dress day. Alexis says that despite what Gretchen wanted, “her pity party didn’t work.”
Caroline Believes Rosie Finally Got Through To Teresa And Joe Gorga
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo opened up about Sunday’s episode on her Bravo blog and believes that Kathy’s sister Rosie finally got through to Teresa and Joe Gorga. Caroline also talks about her children and Richie and Kathy’s relationship!
Tamra Barney responded to Gretchen Rossi’s recent interview by questioning whether Gretchen’s statement about not liking anyone who plays both sides meant that Gretchen doesn’t like herself.
Tamra criticized Gretchen for having an issue with Alexis being present at her dress picking because Tamra claims that Gretchen had no problem attending a salsa party where Alexis was also present.
Tamra accused Gretchen of seeking attention by wearing her deceased ex’s engagement ring while being engaged to Slade. Tamra questioned why someone would wear an old engagement ring from another man to their friend’s dress day, suggesting that Gretchen was trying to make the event about herself.
Evelyn Lozada’s Assistant, Nia Crooks, Avoids Jail After Slapping Jennifer!
Evelyn Lozada’s assistant Nia Crooks famously b*tch slapped Jennifer Williams (no longer a cast member!) on camera but she won’t have to serve time for it after it landed her a misdemeanor battery charge!
The Basketball Wives star was able to cop a deal and was sentenced to “1-year probation, $645 fine, and ordered to write a letter of apology, stay away from Jennifer and undergo 13 weeks of anger management,” reports TMZ.
I am actually not surprised by this. It’s not like she stabbed her. Do you think Nia received an appropriate punishment?
Teresa Giudice’s Legal Battles: A Brief Respite
On Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the Manzos explained their issue with marriage. Chris Manzo says he would only get married to have children and doesn’t want any. Really, I don’t see anyone who would marry Chris, truthfully probably because he still acts his shoe size. The perfect Albie Manzo explained he would need a girl that understands he will be working a lot and Lauren said she’s just not ready because she’s focused on her career.
Lauren has now changed her tone about getting married tweeting, “I love Vito and now I feel more ready to get married #RHONJ”
So does that mean wedding bells soon? Probably a little hint for Vito and best part of it all-will probably get to see it on the hit show when it happens. Who doesn’t love a wedding?
Kim D Says She Absolutely Does Not Have It Out For Melissa Gorga Plus Calls Out Joe Gorga!
Kim D didn’t appear on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have an opinion about what went on. Kim took to her Facebook to explain that she absolutely does not have it out for Melissa and calls out Joe Gorga for treating Teresa so disrespectfully!
Kim wrote,
“Hi Dolls! I have not forgotten about my blog! I was not on last week’s episode, nor this week’s, so I figured I would just combine my thoughts on the two into one blog tonight! Here it goes:
First of all, I loved the scene with Teresa and her mother-in-law getting pedicures, and in her Kings of Cole lime cashmere sweater and leggings from Posche nonetheless! I am ordering a pair for Mrs. Giudice since she loved them so much!
As I previously stated after some turmoil, Joe Gorga and I are fine with each other now. With that said, in the past when he has gotten into fights whether it be with Teresa or myself, he tends to become aggressive. In episode 4, Joe tells T that he would never speak to Melissa in a derogatory manner because he wants to teach his sons that wives should be treated with respect. But what about a sister? Wouldn’t he want his sons to treat their sister with that same respect with which they would treat their wives? I won’t linger on this because like I said we have mended fences, but those were just my feelings after viewing the final scene in that episode. And for the record, I have been to Teresa’s house for Thanksgiving, as well as many other times, and watched her cook! And my assistant has even gone to her shore house, where she saw T cook a huge Sunday dinner for not only the family, but many friends as well! Her food is fabulous! I mean Fabulicious
Not too much else for me to say on this one, so I’ll move onto last night:
I was laughing hysterically at Milania playing soccer! She cracks me up every time I see her. Was just priceless when she walked in and called everyone “lazy bums”! Just too cute for words! And didn’t Teresa looked gorgeous in her Alice + Olivia midnight blue fox trim sweater coat from Posche?! Only she could rock an outfit like that and still look glamourous kicking a soccer ball!
I have to say I am really getting a kick out of Richie’s one liners this season. However, I found his comment referring to how he “married a housewife, not an entrepreneur” to be slightly offensive. I believe all women should be independent in today’s world. You can own a business and still be a housewife. Who says you have to choose one over the other? I think it’s great Kathy wants to start her own career and I wish her much success with it!
In the final scene, Rosie and Teresa really went at it. Their emotions ran rampant and you could truly see the hurt and anger in both of their eyes. I was relieved in the end that they were able to hug it out, and T left with her tongue in tact!! And another Posche look spotted! One of our favorite pieces also from Alice + Olivia was that beautiful cropped bow jacket on Teresa while they are sitting at the table. It will be available in the fall, with the bow done in leather!
Last, but not least, the coming attractions: As you can see I’m back! You will see the first confrontation that I have with the Gorgas since the reunion, filmed at one of our favorite restaurant’s in the area, Portobello’s. And to address the realtor’s comment (and no I am still not going to use her name) to Melissa about myself having “it in for” her…I absolutely do not have it out for Melissa. Won’t give away anything more, so watch and see! Should be a good one!
Kim”
Interesting! Kim made a great point regarding Joe Gorga constantly being disrespectful to his sister but pointing out you should always respect your wife. Do you think Kim has it out for Melissa despite what she says?
Richard Wakile Does Some Damage Control; Says Kathy Is A Better Entrepreneur Than Him!
Sunday’s episode you saw a very dark side to Real Housewives of New Jersey star Kathy Wakile’s hubby Richard! Richie spoke poorly to and about his wife and it was very uncomfortable to watch. Richie is now doing some damage control after the episode aired and calling Kathy his rock!
He tweeted, “Thank god for the blessed family that I have & it’s all because of @KathyWakile my ROCK”
In which Kathy responded, “It takes two My Love! #partners”
Richie continued, “Thank you all for the love that you show my family! @KathyWakile & I have only been married for 22yrs. & were still going strong! No faking!”
And while the episode aired he retracted what he said on the episode and tweeted, “FYI I will always support my @KathyWakile. I would never make my baby @KathyWakile cry never! Just want to say that @KathyWakile is a better entrepreneur than I’ll ever be.”
Uh huh. Sure sounds like that’s what you were trying to say on Sunday’s episode. No man should ever make his wife feel so little especially someone like Richie. I mean, you manage a gas station? How about getting an education..just saying!
RHONJ Recap: Tension Revealed With Kathy And Richie While Teresa Comes Face To Face With Cousin Rosie!
Sunday’s episode begins with Melissa Gorga speaking to her precious daughter Antonia about her new book! Joe Gorga is on his way home from his run-in with Teresa and he’s in the car saying all kinds of crazy things to himself. He starts mocking his conversation with Teresa and then calls Teresa a bitch several times. Nothing’s more disgraceful and disgusting than hearing a brother refer to his sister as a bitch on camera. Joe finally goes inside where he begins explaining to Melissa what had just happened at the gym. He tells Melissa about his conversation and than asks Melissa whether she bashed his sister on twitter. It’s clear Joe isn’t very twitter-savy and doesn’t check his wife’s timeline. Melissa admits that she did tweet about Teresa but doesn’t go into what she said. We are then shown a screenshot of Melissa throwing Teresa under the bus for filing for bankruptcy all because a viewer accused Melissa of renting a Chanel bag. It’s not even like Teresa was the one who accessed Melissa of renting it and then Melissa fought back by calling out T for her bankruptcy. Teresa had nothing to do with the Chanel bag comment and was still called out because Melissa believes she had it coming and deserved it? Joe is a bit taken back that Melissa has tweeted about Teresa and points out how his parents come to the house and look at Melissa like she’s the devil. I thought this was an interesting statement only because Melissa constantly says how everything is so great with her and her in-laws. I think Joe Gorga’s philosophy of being a brother is wrong. All wrong. He says that at the end of the day Teresa is his sister and he doesn’t want anyone talking about her even though he know’s she’s wrong. Is he saying she’s wrong and really believing that he’s in the right? Get a grip, Joe!
Back at the Wakile’s house, Kathy is ready to make a career out of her baking and her husband Richie is giving her a hard time. Kathy and Richie have agreed to partner up on Kathy’s new business of Cannoli set’s but don’t agree on much specifically the packaging. The two start bickering and Richie thinks Kathy doesn’t know what she’s doing because in his words exactly, “I married a housewife not an entrepreneur.” Way to have faith in your wife! Kathy mentions how she needs space in the kitchen and Richie says they will talk about that later. Kathy says she needs space because Richie is always around. Richie than surprises Kathy by renting out a kitchen outside of there home except Kathy isn’t happy because he didn’t consult any of this with her and she feels like he is always so quick to make decisions without her. Richie then starts calling Kathy annoying and the two go home and Richie begins complaining that Kathy has been slacking on cleaning the house now that she’s starting her business. I honestly don’t know how Kathy puts up with Richie. It was sad to see her get emotional in her interview. She points out how she’s been married for 21 years and it’s pretty clear she is not happy in her marriage.
Caroline is hanging out at her apartment with her Albie, Lauren and Chris. They begin opening up about how their father was not around. After seeing Caroline and Albert’s marriage the kids agree that neither of them are in a rush to get married. Chris says he doesn’t want any kids while Albie wants someone who will accept that he will be working a lot and Lauren just thinks she’s too young. Chris explains he doesn’t want children and fears having girls because he doesn’t want them to turn out bad. That’s when Lauren says in high school she wasn’t a whore because she was fat. I don’t think Lauren realizes what she says 99% of the time. So Lauren is saying people that are heavier do not get laid? Interesting…
Melissa has her mother and sister over to talk about how she is going to be opening up about her father in her book that is about successful marriages. Melissa says she wants to put in how her father would leave for a few days and it’s making her mother uncomfortable. Melissa explains that she wants her families approval before putting some of her past out there. Melissa continues to say that seeing her father leave made her the great wife that she is today because she know’s how to never want to make a man leave her basically insulting her mother in which her sister even gives her an odd look. The entire conversation was just weird.
Rosie reaches out to Teresa so they could talk about there problems. I don’t know about you but I think it’s pretty obvious that Rosie is trying to get more air time. They go out for drinks hoping they could move forward from things but Rosie starts making a scene, screaming, and banging her fist at the table. It was embarrassing to watch considering everyone was staring at them. Rosie starts settling down and everything becomes okay. Teresa then reveals she is planning a retreat for her and her brother. Teresa wants to fix things no matter what the circumstances are and you’d be blind not to see that. I was glad that the two left on a good note!
What were your thoughts on Sunday’s episode? Let’s Discuss
Kim Zolciak has come under fire for being photographed by paparazzi smoking away even though she recently announced she’s pregnant with her fifth child. Now, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star is lashing out and has sent a cease and desist letter to the paparazzo’s agency, claiming that the pictures are NOT recent.
TMZ reports, “Sources close to Kim tell us, she has sent a cease and desist letter to the agency … accusing them of purposely deceiving the public about 2 sets of photos they shot. Kim is claiming the shots of her smoking were taken quite some time ago … though she doesn’t remember exactly when.”
Kim claims that she WAS photographed yesterday by that agency, but was not smoking in the photos. Either way, the photos have been pulled by the agency because they were in fact taken from private property, but they are still out for everyone to see.
While Kim may be right and the photos are not recent, she still seemed to be quite “bulgey” in the pictures. Not to mention she was smoking on Memorial Day weekend on the beach, and she had to have been pregnant by then.
Do you believe Kim is just trying to take the heat off herself?
