LynnNChicago EXCLUSIVE Interview with Melissa Gorga
Thank you to Melissa for taking the time to interview with me. I really appreciate it.
I asked Melissa first how everyone was doing, her husband handsome, fun Joe and her amazingly adorable three children?
Melissa said, “Thank you! They are my life! Everyone is doing well. Joe is working hard as usual.” Then confirming that she will be on for another season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, Melissa added, “I am spending most of my time running around with the kids and enjoying the time off, especially before we start filming and things get crazy again.”
As most of you know Melissa and the other ladies filmed the season that will begin to air Sunday, April 22 several months ago, in fact before the previous season even finished airing.
I asked Melissa how she’s been spending time between filming and waiting for the current season to air? Melissa told me, “Aside from the normal day-to-day activities with the family. I have been very fortunate to have had a lot of appearances lately. I absolutely 
love meeting fans.”
There is no doubt that Melissa has a lot of people who adore her, Melissa went on to tell me, “They are all so supportive and always put a smile on my face. After the season ended I began working with Voli Vodka, the world’s first low calorie vodka, as a celebrity ambassador along with Pitbull and Fergie, which has been incredible. I’m so blessed to be in the same circle with such talented people and the product is really good!”
I was waiting for the “Thank you Jesus” but it never came..lol
I asked Melissa what kinds of things will we see on this upcoming season? Melissa said, “Season 4 will continue to follow everyone as they pursue their passions and develop and launch new businesses, but the season is really about family dynamics and friendships.”
The show really is more about family, with all of the Housewives related in some way, how will it be different from last season? Not just all arguments, I hope?
“No! This time around I think the fans are going to get to see a little more of what they are looking for – reconciliation and lots of fun times.” Melissa told me.
So does this mean no more fighting between family members? Don’t count on it, Melissa said “You can see from the preview, there was definitely drama and relationships change between the housewives for the good and the bad, but most of the season was filmed during the summer so you get to see everyone let loose and have fun down on the shore.”
What about the kids, they seem to enjoy being on screen, Melissa says “Of course everyone’s children make appearances and that’s always something fans love to see. We also head to the west coast on a trip, where A LOT happened and I think fans will be shocked when they see that trip. It’s going to be a season with a lot of surprises.”
Of course I had to ask Melissa how her relationship with Teresa is now? Melissa responded, “My relationship with Teresa is and probably always will be a work in progress, but we put our differences aside when it comes to the kids.”
I didn’t expect much more of an answer when it came to Teresa, the Housewives aren’t allowed to reveal too much and it’s obvious that things haven’t improved much between the two sisters in law.
I asked Melissa if she has been watching Teresa on Celebrity Apprentice and if she is surprised at how quiet she has been?
Melissa replied, “Yes. We have been trying to watch each week. It’s been fun to watch and I can’t believe how intense the boardrooms and challenges are getting. I think Teresa being quiet is more of a strategy than anything else.”
How does Melissa think Teresa will do overall on Celebrity Apprentice? “I think she will do well and it would be great for her to win money for NephCure, which is an amazing charity.”
Maybe some of you have heard about the recent issues that have come up on Twitter with her two sisters. they have been accused of creating fake names and arguing on Twitter with Teresa’s fans. Naturally Melissa’s sisters Kim and Lysa deny ever having created fake names or arguing with viewers.
What does Melissa know about all of this?
“Oh boy twitter!” Melissa laughed but went on seriously to say, “There have been a lot of accusations related to twitter and while I love at how passionate the fans of RHONJ are, there are some fans that take it waaay too far. Honestly, sometimes it’s scary to see how people think they know anyone of us from what they see on TV or rumors on blogs.”
Does Melissa enjoy using Twitter? Melissa told me, “I look at twitter as a fun place to interact with friends and fans and follow what celebrities are doing, etc. Life is really too short to put so much time and energy into being negative and I find that it’s best to just block and ignore the haters.”
Melissa and sisters Kim and Lysa
So what about the rumors surrounding your sisters, “As far as my sisters go, no they do not create fake twitter accounts. They have families of their own and are too busy to spend their time on twitter writing about other housewives.”
A while back we all heard about the birthday party for Teresa’s two daughters, Melissa attended, rumors flew that Teresa wasn’t happy and even yelled at Melissa, I asked her what really happened and why Joe didn’t go with her to the party.
“Teresa and I know what happened that day and I don’t want to get into it. What I will say was it was a beautiful party for Gia and Milania with their friends and parents from the community. I brought Antonia and the boys and we had a blast. The cousins love each other so much and I put everything else aside to make sure that whatever goes on with the adults, they are not affected by it.”
We watched last season as Melissa began a music career, she released a single called, “On Display”, so what is next for Melissa’s music career?
Melissa said, ”It’s going really well and I am learning a lot about the music business. I have been in the studio a lot lately and working on the release for two new songs, which you will see this season. One is called “How Many Times” and it’s a ballad I wrote for Joe. The other song is called “Rock Stars”, which is a hi-energy dance party song like On Display.”
I asked, “So we’ll see you singing again this season?”
Excited, Melissa responded, “Yes! One of the highlights this seasons that I am so excited for everyone to see is a huge performance that I had Chris Judd choreograph. He was definitely tough on me and made me push myself, but it was amazing to work with someone on his level and I am so excited for everyone to see that performance. I Think Rock Stars is going to be a great summer party song. I am also going to be performing a new remix of On Display live on April 4th. I can’t give you all the details just yet, but I am so excited for it and will announce it on twitter soon!”
Melissa doesn’t have to give us the details, we know what that is all about. The Bravo Upfront Party is scheduled for April 4, the party will be aired live on Bravo this coming Wednesday, Ramona told us all about it last week. Apparently Melissa will be singing too!
Season Preview: Real Housewives of New Jersey
Melissa was very sweet and while the interview was delayed, I understand how busy she is and that her family comes first.
As many of you may know, the use of the word “fan” when it comes to Housewives viewers is not my favorite thing and I admit a cringed a little every time that word was used but that’s my “thing” I will get over it. It seems as though it’s becoming more common throughout the reality world. Time for me to adjust I suppose.
Thank you again to Melissa for taking the time to interview with me. I am looking forward to the new season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

@melissagorga take notes girls.. My “team” twitters support me without bashing T, u guys should take notes!
Many have asked me why I interviewed Melissa but haven’t interviewed Teresa Giudice. I would happily interview Teresa, I have Tweeted her and asked her, no response yet but I’m still hopeful! I am always thrilled to get to interview any of Bravo’s Housewives. We’ll see….

Until Next Time…
Its all about family but she’s in the recording and dance studios and making vodka appearances? I don’t know. I just think this girl is phony.
Mmm hmm Eve. That’s what I was thinking. She’s been spending most of her time w/the kids? It seems like the other way around. She’s been doing her thing w/her career, then spending time w/the kids.
I swore I was not going to watch NJ when it aired. Now with the interview I am curious what did happen in California while filming. I remember last year everyone on the show was hinting how crazy the filming was.
Melissa’s kids are so cute!
AZ Girl_ I am with you in the trip to California, I am so curious to watch! In advance: ” San Francisco, We apologize for RHONJ filming in such a beautiful City…”
Melissa is a gorgeous women, I just don’t think the fans want anymore gang ups like the reunion. At least with the other hw shows they had divided teams. Nj has always been all against one at least at the reunions. The bully thing is old. NJ went down hill after Dina left. NY is a train wreck without Bethanny. BH won’t have Camille. ( I guess Bravo doesn’t like elegance and class.). I didn’t see all of NY last year.
I follow the HW on twitter I feel like I seen season 4 because of all the nonsense. I am not Team Gorga or Team Guidice. I am team both. The biggest disappointment to me was Caroline who I loved. She contradicted herself at the reunion. Season 2 Teresa was family, season 3 they were never friends. There has been enough on the Internet that proves Teresa did not setup Mel. Blame bravo for destroying a family. I lost all respect.
Lisa it’s not Bravo’s fault. If these ladies let being on a TV show divide their family & relationships then that’s on them. Teresa’s insistence that Mel & Kathy should’ve told her they were going to be on the show is childish. They were on the show, accept it, move on & enjoy & celebrate that your family is on the show. The same goes for Caroline & her family. All the Teresa getting in between her & Dina is also childish. Why would she let T get between her & Dina? There’s something else w/those sisters. I can see all the other disagreements w/the non family members, the so called friends where they’re only friends because they’re doing the show but the family relationships being trashed is stupid.
Why should Teresa celebrate being on the show with her family when their intentions was to trash her and her family for their own gain. ?
Why play into the game? Turn the tables on them by welcoming them, being a family. The season & reunion would’ve been much different.
Teresa tried that. Have you forgotten the bookstore episode where Joey made her jump through hoop after hoop? That was the episode that let the viewer know how messed up the Gorga’s were, (well that and the first episode). Joey had every intention of humiliating Teresa and he let her (and us) know he was never going to stop. Little Boots is more jealous and vindictive than T and Messy put together with a little Don Caro sprinkled on top.
I think Don Caro is a little more than sprinkled. She’s right down in the mud with the rest of them. Throwing stones around that bullet proof glass house and all. I do remember the book signing that T Finally ‘allowed’ them to come to, Late.
Thanks for the blog Lynn, but just once I’d like to hear her say more than “our relationship (with Teresa) is a work in progress. She has never taken accountability for anything in the horrible divide in her family. Trust me, I know Teresa is far from perfect, but Melissa needs to own up to her part in this horrible situation. For ex. there should have been a public apology from her husband when he called his sister garbage on national TV. She & her husband are doing the exact thing they accused Teresa of in all the attention they are seeking. I, for one will not be watching this series any longer as I refuse to support such hatred within a family. Lastly, Melissa can say what she wants, but I have read for myself all the nasty things her sisters & vile makeup artist have said & retweeted about Teresa. It’s really sad what Bravo has done with this franchise. Look forward to reading your other blogs & hope to see you be more objective towards Teresa. All of the other ladies have been pretty mean too, & it just makes me sick.
Jamie you’re right that Bravo has let the franchise go down.
Well said Jamie. Joe and Melissa are selfish people who feel that fame is more important than family. They destroyed the Gorga family for a music career that will never go beyond her basement. She endorses the hateful twitter rants from her makeup artist, sisters and mother. The hateful comments she receives are from Teresa fans only. Joe Guidice’s brother and SIL and close friends constantly get attacked by her make up artist, George Miguel. He always throws the first punch and when they defend themselves, George plays the gay card. George is trying to kiss up to Andy by trying to view the the Guidice family as anti-gay.
Thanks Powell & Lee! Melissa went on this show knowing there was already discord in her family & knew damn well this would be a major story line, so I have no respect for her & Bravo for televising this. This is Not what I consider entertainment. It’s just sad, hurtful & a distasteful attempt at gaining more viewers at the sake of ripping a family apart.
I’m not a fan of Teresa, never was but Melissa herself is a passive aggressive sh****t stirrer. She was stirring it up even before she was on the show (witness Danielle bringing up the birth of the youngest Gorga at the second year reunion). She acts the innocent victim with Teresa yet always manages to subtly get her digs in.
I think she was jealous of all the attention Teresa was getting from the show and wanted to bust in on the limelight.
I personally find the Guidices reprehensible and repugnant but the Gorgas are right up there with them.
Yeeep!
Great interview Lynn. I’m excited for a new housewife season to begin. OC isn’t my cup of tea and Atlanta – which used to be my favorite – is missing it’s spark this year with the ladies refusing to film together or show us their fun, fiesty sides.
I don’t know if I’ll be Team Teresa or Team Melissa this year – probably team underdog knowing how I roll. Hopefully Bravo will give me something that I can get emotionally involved in and care about – otherwise I may not be able to hang in much longer.
Agree OC and Atlanta are a snooze stopped watching several weeks ago. My fav is BH but I am sure Bravo will kill this one too. I would love to see a reality show about all the bloggers I think they are far more interesting.
I won’t be watching BH if either Taylor or Kim return – so in my mind I’m already done with it.
Someone should write a book about the behind the scenes housewives blog wars.
HousewifeA_ agree with you. If Taylor comes back to RHOBH for another Season, I am OUT! After all I have Lynn’s Blog and is always more entertaining and funny than the very program is! I don’t watch OC, but I don’t miss the Blog and the HW’s blogs commented by Lynn! It cracks me up!
Lisa that would be interesting.
Your interview was excellent Lynn. Melissa did a good job saying very little but still plugging her songs…lol but at least she’s saying that she’s working on her relationship with T.
The cast knows that fighting is what the viewers tune in for, & what keeps them getting screen time. So do they exaggerate the fighting? They are all famewhores looking to be the next B with products, books, booze…zzzz. And yet like a train wreck, it’s so hard not too watch.
At the end of the day, they seem jealous of each other (T & Melissa) and value fame/money over family every time. Melissa appears to be getting better at giving diplomatic, nice comments. See, she even supports T on CA!
Nene has become very successful, so has Bethenny & even Ramona should be thanking her lucky stars for HWs. Would Ramona be on QVC selling her jewelry without HWs? Just where would B & Nene be without the shows? Lol where would we all be, certainly not snarking on the ho’wives on Lynn’s great blog. Ahh what twists & turns life throws our way. Dear Andy Cohen, thank you?!
Joe and Mel don’t support T. In the trailer video, Joe Gorga says to his sister T, ” You need to fall in order to see what you did is wrong.”. That has to be the most disgusting think a brother can say to a sister.
Lynn who will get an interview from Teresa the day Melissa gives an interview to Roxy from allabouttrh.
Love your posts Lee. Agree with everything you’ve said. As for you Lynne I used to read ur blogs. I only read this one because I wanted to see wot MeHo would say. Shouldnt surprise me she is still trying to plug her appalling song and that you are still a major suck ass. I hope Teresa never gives you an interview because you’re not worthy of her wasting her time with you.
Teresa absolutely should give an interview with Lynn. Lynn would be fair to her and T has many fans here. I really wish she would.
Didn’t Melissa actually give something away about Teresa and CA? Wonder if that was intentional. Kinda bitchy either way.
Happy Birthday, Liline41
Happy Birthday Liline41! Hugs to you Jeff!
Right back at’cha
Happy birthday Liline41.
Kudos, Lynn, for the exclusive Melissa interview. We will have to call you “Scoop” Hudson from now on. Must be gratifying to know the reality “stars” trust YOU enough to talk. All your hard work of “Keeping It Real” paid off. Thanks for everything, Scoop!
Lynn did not find out anything that I did not know before. As I see it, Melissa and Joe still take no accountability for their actions. Joe agreed to destroy his own family for his wife to have a music career that is going nowhere. They are GARBAGE.
I still don’t get how everyone is saying they destroyed a family? Is their family destroyed? Is Teresa harmed? She seems fine to me. Melissa and Teresa didn’t get along before the show started filming, so how is that all Melissa’s fault?
Why doesn’t anyone blame Teresa for not helping her brother and sister-in-law get on the show? Why is she getting a pass for not sharing the wealth? She could have offered to put their name in to be on the show. Why not? There were other families on the show – if it was ok for her to be a Housewife, why not her sister-in-law and cousin? They could have been three banned together and a strong family on screen. Whose fault is it that it didn’t happen that way?
I’m scratching my head on this one as well. Their family has loads of issues. JoeGo’s issues with his dad run deep from what I could tell at the baptism. Teresa tried to hide this from the viewers – and Melissa and JoeGo were willing to put it out there – but the damage was already there. Perhaps it is because they got on the show just to show to us viewers that T’s perfect life wasn’t perfect at all – but by the time they joined the show we already knew that – the bankruptsy etc. were common knowledge.
Caro and Dina are also in a feud – Jaq exposed her issues with Ashley on the camera. I’m not sure why people have strong feelings against Melissa and not the others.
That said – I don’t blame T for not encouraging Bravo to sign Melissa. It was her spotlight and she didn’t want to share it with a sister in law that she didn’t like. Fair enough.
I guess when I look at my own family, I see the reason why not. I have a sibling who is estranged from the rest of the family, mostly due to their spouse. I personally don’t think my in-law has psychological problems. I don’t blame them or wish them ill will. They get to use the “not guilty by reason of insanity” defense. Even so, I don’t look to be drawn into the crazy and my interactions with them are purposefully limited.
So now I look at Teresa, who is estranged from her brother and Melissa. Why am I obligated to let this person who I have difficulty with, ride my coattails onto the show? If I have difficulty and stress dealing with them, why would I put myself in a position where I have to continually deal with this person and on camera to bat?
Let’s face it. Melissa was out there stirring up trouble for Teresa even before she was on the show. Danielle brought her up at the Season 2 Reunion. Bravo was losing the drama dynamic between Danielle and Teresa and needed something to replace it and Melissa was brought on to do that. If Melissa had any sincere intention of banding together with her sister-in-law on the show, she would not gone onto the show without telling her.
Teresa is reprehensible but just because she is, it doesn’t make Melissa innocent in stirring up the drama by any means.
See that is it, you are absolutely right! Teresa is trying to say that by Melissa (and Joe, her brother) going on the show they have ripped apart this family. This family already had huge problems to begin with. Teresa can’t have it both ways, if the show tore up their family then she’s trying to say that they were fine before the show came along. Why didn’t Teresa quit and let her brother have the spotlight for a change. That is just as huge a “favor” to ask of Teresa as she was asking of Melissa and Joey.
I think the whole thing could have been handled differently and they could have stuck it to Bravo. If Melissa, Teresa and Kathy had gotten together and said, we’re family and we’re sticking together in public, period. THAT would have been the way to go and Bravo would have been shocked when the cameras started rolling.
Even the way it played out, Teresa isn’t hurt, nothing has changed. She didn’t like Melissa before and she doesn’t like her now.
If you’re Melissa and your sister-in-law hates you already, why would you turn down the show? As a favor to the woman who hates you? Remember too that Bravo offered. I just don’t get why it’s all Melissa’s fault.
I guess I do put that more on Melissa than I do Teresa.
Again, looking at my own family as an example (and perhaps I’m doing that too much). As I’ve mentioned I minimize my contact with my in-law. On their side I’m sure they do the same with me. It’s our detente and how we make it work.
If our relationship, working or not working, is staying out of each other’s way, if someone were to change that, as Melissa did by coming onto the show, I’d look at that as someone making an aggressive act towards me. It would also possibly make me evaluate how to stand my ground in interacting with them in the future if they’ve pushed back towards me and will continue to push.
So I may not have stated this clearly but staying out of each other’s orbit is probably what works best for the Gorgas and the Guidices. It was Melissa’s decision to change the dynamic and her actions to join the show that further changed the dynamic so, yes, I do blame her more than I blame Teresa although Tree is by no means innocent in all this.
Ultimately, though, I blame Teresa and Joe Gorga for most everything that is wrong in this family. Years ago she should have put her foot down with her husband and said you do not disrespect my brother to me or my parents. Similarly, Joe Gorga needed to put the foot down with his parents and his sister to treat his wife better and put his foot down with Melissa to stop all the passive aggressive cattiness on her part as well.
That is a really good point. We were getting hints that Teresa’s parents sort of favored her over her brother. I don’t know for sure if that was happening but it sure seems as though Joe Gorga thought it was happening. If he felt it, that needed to be addressed whether his parents really were doing anything like that or not. They need to communicate better.
I don’t understand why Teresa should have to quit so her brother can have his time in the spotlight, she tried out for this show (as I’m sure Melissa probably did too) and Teresa got hired, Melissa didn’t. So why should Teresa then have to quit just because her brother and wife are upset.
Melissa DID get hired, that’s my point. Teresa shouldn’t quit but in the same vein, Melissa shouldn’t have to turn it down either.
But see T is so smart that she’s stupid. She walked right into Melissa’s c*ap trap. Since she felt they wanted on the show for fame & mostly to trash her all she had to do was not give them what they wanted & when we saw M & J trash talk, start fights etc w/T, all she had to do was let us view that side of M& J & then we would say wow look at how M & J treat T & she’s done nothing to them. But she gave them what they wanted & at the reunion M called her evil, etc.
Lynn I’ve heard about your blog but this is my first time reading it. Like many other people I won’t be back. Are u out of your mind??? Teresa should have quit to let Melissa have the spotlight??? Hello contract and um she was there first!! They didn’t want Melissa. There’s proof she harassed and begged herself on the show. Also, I don’t hear Teresa saying a word so your fortune telling is way off. Good luck to you Lynn.You seem like your in love with Melissa Gorga. You’re mot in reality. This is the most delusional blog I’ve ever seen. Thanks but no thanks. I’ll leave you in the midwest where you belong. There isn’t a very evolved species there and your definitely the poster girl for small minds.
Lynne is only in love with people who feed her inside stories (ie Jac the alcoholic and Meho & her fugly vile sisters the MarcHo’s. Teresa is far too classy to give Lynne The Bully an interview. I used to read Lynne’s blogs a while ago until I finally realised her blogs are one sided. Only read this cos I wanted to see wot Meho had to say. Wont be back to ready your blog ever again Lynne you nasty woman.
You’re kidding Right? I once said to you that I wonder if we’re watching the same shows. Among the Very first words we heard out of her brother was that Teresa was Trash. Only giving her best wishes for the cameras. Sweet innocent gold digger Melissa (puke) has nothing to do with anything.
Then that bullshit farce of a ‘reunion’ was beyond disgusting. Sitting there all pretty poor me innocent while trying to squeeze out a few fake tears while that other hyena, Andy, is creaming his jeans over the drama.
You’re free to ask the questions you want on these interviews and accept or reject the answers as you see fit but I don’t believe a word that comes out of that tramp’s mouth. On Display. Please.
Mel, you don’t know what got Joe Gorga to that point, this is what I’m saying. This family was in trouble long before Bravo came along. Joe Gorga felt that Teresa was shoving her family under a rock and taking the spotlight on the show. Teresa was calling Caroline and Jacqueline her “family”. I can only imagine how that felt, if I heard my sister calling some other people her “family” I would be hurt too.
There is so much history, so much hurt and so much cruelty on both sides that not one of them is to blame, they are ALL to blame. My point is that you can’t dump this all on Melissa. You may not believe Melissa and that’s fine but you shouldn’t believe every word that comes out of Teresa’s mouth either, she’s been caught in lies too.
I’m not saying Melissa is perfect and it’s all Teresa’s fault, but it’s certainly not all Melissa’s fault either. Both of these women have behaved immaturely and both are to blame but Teresa fans are trying to say that Melissa tore up this family, that is simply not true. They were torn up long before this.
They were torn up long before this.
I’ve said that all along and don’t disagree with you there. In fact, I think this is kids carrying on a much older feud. My Gripe, if you will, is how miss Missy plays little miss innocent and expects us all to believe this is all Teresa’s fault. After all, She’s Garbage, Right? Do you think that bafoon Joey came up with that one on his own? The Gorgas lost me at that exact moment and will never get me back.
That’s cool, I can understand that. I just think there is plenty of blame to go around
I doubt Teresa was keeping her family under a rock. During the season there was an episode during the housewarming where Teresa introduced her brother on the mike and bravo cameras were there…..Teresa does not control editing. Melissa and Joe were at every family event party that was filmed prior to her getting on. On top of that, on her family cookbook Teresa showed pictures of her entire family including Joey. The only time that Bravo entertained the idea of having Melissa on and Joe on is when they were doing all that under handed stuff with Danielle. Melissa was trying get in at all cost.
I alsoforgot to add that i also believe they had issues prior to the show…however the issues were never severe enough for the family to not speak. Any problems that TEresa and Melissa had have grown 20 times over now that she is on. I do believe that Teresa was trying to keep a united front hence why she came over to congradulate them and the baptism….but what her brother and SIL did was to attack and make sure Bravo got their money’s worth. Melissa and Kathy knew EXACTLY why they were being signed on ANd that is why viewers are upset. When you step on mud….you track it everywhere you go. Remember all those scoops given prior to the season starting…..and let’s not forget that infamous blog before the series even started……what’s done in the dark always comes to light.
Mel I agree with you 100%. You seem to be watching the same show I am.
I wonder if Melissa ever said thank you to Danielle for her getting cast on RHONJ? If it hadn’t been for Danielle mentioning her at the reunion…;)
So if Joe Gorga had close friends that he called family and im sure he does. Does that mean he cant or never did call them family cause it will hurt Teresa???? Joe Gorga hasn’t talked to Teresa in MONTHS she has invited him to Thanksgiving xmas and gia and m Bday party and he did not show up. Im sure if it was on camera he would show up and just blame Teresa for everything he lives his life for the camera’s now when it comes to Teresa and her family. He has mad that Teresa called and treated Caroline and jac as family. But they are doing the same thing now he Treats them like family but is’t even worst for Teresa cause Caroline and Jac hate her
I’m not saying that Teresa deserved any of it but there is a lot more to this battle between Joe and his sister than we saw. The show opened last season with Joe calling Teresa “garbage”. This didn’t just happen overnight.
Joe was hurt, you could see it, you could hear it in his voice. Whether or not you or I agree with the reasons why he was hurt, the fact remains that he was hurt. It is something that needed to be addressed.
Teresa hadn’t talked to her brother either then at the Christening, she showed up late and approached Melissa and Joe at the table smiling and congratulating them. What they didn’t show is Teresa refusing to sign her contract until they fired Melissa and Kathy. Teresa holding out on joining the show because her sister-in-law and cousin had been hired. That would be hurtful, don’t you think?
Finally the fact that Jacqueline and Caroline are upset with Teresa tells me that she did something serious to them as well. We don’t know what that is but they are both fairly reasonable women. Jacqueline gave Danielle chance after chance yet they’re both really angry with Teresa, after having her back at the beginning of last season. Something serious happened there. My point is Teresa is not perfect, Melissa isn’t either but we have to keep an open mind.
It seems as though Melissa’s fans don’t “hate” Teresa yet Teresa’s fans detest Melissa. I just don’t get it. Neither woman is perfect.
Lynn,
The anger that Caroline has for Teresa is a direct result of Punta Cana trip where her “sweet” boys are now being sued. Jacqueline goes where the drama is….hence her buddy buddy relationship with Kim G now (same person who walked hand in hand with Danielle to press charges on her daugher) As much as she went back and forth with Danielle….Jacqueline knows she can’t pull that stunt with Teresa b/c TEresa is DONe with Jacqueline’s pot stirring ways! If i were TEresa I would be pissed and wouldn’t want to sign the contract either. Teresa knew what Bravo was doing and she knew that they only added her family to cause chaos n drama for her. At the end of the day, Teresa has a family and BILLS so she signed. I am sure that is why she is hussling so much to hopefully not need Bravo’s paycheck. Nene is doing the same. Mego, Joey, and Kathy of course were eager to sign up….they had their guns loaded. They knew what they were paid to do and they were willing to do it. I am sure Teresa was not anticipating her family business to be magnified for her sake of the show. I am sure they had issues, but I also believe that Melissa magnified those issues as it they were completly estranged…which was NOT true. They had their moments but prior to them joining the show, they were on speaking terms on a regular basis and went to each others events…ALL of them. Then all of a sudden cameras are on…and they act like they have never been to a xmas dinner or party at Teresa’s….when they were there EVERY YEAR PRIOR. I believe Melissa wines up her husband, b/c i have seen it with my own eyes on many episodes, so i can only imagine the behind the scenes antics. I don’t think anyone is saying Teresa is completly innocent…it is the LACK of accountability of Melissa and phoney friends Caro, Jaco, and Kathy that have people in an uproar. You are not innocent as you claim to be…so stop playing the victim!
Lynn, sorry to disagree with you but asking Teresa to have helped bring Melissa on the show is as irrational as to ask Bethenny to bring her mom on the show.
haha Don’t be “sorry” – disagreeing is ok, I just don’t understand it. Teresa claims to love her brother, why not help him get on the show? She also claimed to have nothing against Melissa. I will never agree that you can compare Teresa’s relationship with her brother and sister in law with Bethenny and her mother. There is no similarity at all.
Asking Melissa to turn down this opportunity to be on the show is the same thing as asking Teresa to quit. Why does Teresa deserve to be on the show but Melissa doesn’t?
I don’t understand all this hatred for Melissa. If the only thing she’s done wrong is be on the show, I think she did what most other people would do given the same circumstances.
For Me, I may be alone here, it isn’t that she’s On the show. It’s what she and her hubby have done With it.
Mel Agreed. Lynn, I don’t think people would have disliked Melissa as much had she held herself differently on camera (ESP the TH interviews). The constant snide comments got old. Quick.
The way both she and Joe Gorga have held themselves off camera has been horrendous. That too has turned a Moderate distaste to a full-on dislike for them. A few examples:
1) the sopranos like tape sent to Bravo on which they promise to
take T down. Her pursuit of Bravo producers to get on the show started before season 1.
2) her emails on blog sites(reading them now, it’s obvious that it’s her) tearing Teresa apart. Share the wealth with someone whose going to smear u? Um, i’ll pass.
3) the way she handled the whole stripper situation didn’t help her either. Who cares if u danced in lingerie this were a “dancer” and not a “stripper”. Splitting hairs like that made her look foolish. There are enough people who live in north Jersey who knew her. I understand if her reticence to tell the truth is her children. That’s a legitimate reason to want to keep it private. But it didn’t stay private. So she could have handled the issue straight on and said yes, she worked there and the amount of clothes she did or didn’t have on may seem relevant to the viewing public but in light of her children she’s going to leave it there. But she kept the fire burning by saying she worked there for a few months when it was a year, and making a huge stink about Teresa setting her up (later proven untrue) she made her situation with viewers worse.
I don’t agree with your position on RHONJ. But I like ur writing style and respect the way u interact with commenters. “Watch what happens”. LoL
I guess, for me, Teresa got onto the show on her own. Melissa and Kathy did not.
Let’s face it, if Teresa were not on RHONJ, they would not be on. If they got along perfectly with Teresa, they would not be on. Bravo brought them on specifically to stir up trouble with Teresa. If they can’t do that, they would not be on.
Lynn, I really don’t understand for the life of me why you keep going back to Why couldn’t Melisa be on the show too? It is CLEAR Bravo picked Teresa first & Melissa wasn’t their first choice. There was trouble brewing already in their family, so why would she join the show knowing it was going to get ugly? I’m not sure what you don’t understand about that.
Jamie, you’re talking about two different seasons. When the show began Teresa was suggested by Jac Laurita, Bravo found Dina, Caroline and Jacqueline at the hair salon. (Jac also suggested Danielle) Bravo didn’t know that Melissa existed before season one. Teresa was cast because she was a friend of Jacqueline’s.
When they let Danielle go, they needed some new housewives and had seen Teresa’s relatives at some family functions. (even though viewers didn’t see them, Producers did) They offered Melissa and Kathy the open Housewife spots, they accepted. Why would she join the show? Because she was offered the show and in her shoes, I bet most would have taken it. Being filmed, being famous, making really good money, allowing her to explore her music career…. who would say no?
By the same vein you could say that Teresa should have quit, its the same thing as saying Melissa should have refused. If Melissa knew it was going to get ugly, so did Teresa. Why didn’t she quit? She already had fame, bestselling cookbooks etc, why not let her brother have a turn? Its on BOTH of them, not just Melissa
I wasn’t talking about different seasons or which housewife recommended whom. I was just trying to say Teress was on the show first & there were deep seeded issues already going on between Teresa & Melissa & knowing that Bravo dwells & loves this type of drama, whether I was asked or not, I personally would NEVER join knowing it most likely wasn’t going to have a positive impact on their relationship. Just my opinion.
Did you ever stop and think it was because she plain old doesn’t like Melissa? I can certainly see why. Her own brother and sister law air all her dirty laundry but none of their own, and so does her “cousin”. Why would she want to bring that in to something happy that came into her life? They did not join the show to “ban” together, they joined to rip Teresa apart. As others have said, I was not a Teresa lover or a Teresa hater, but seeing how her own family treats her I am routing for Teresa all the way. I really want to see Melissa and Joe and the Wakiles all get what’s coming to them – being made to feel like crap!!!
I KNOW she doesn’t like Melissa, no need to stop and think about that.
so why is Melissa saying that fans don’t really know her? is she implying that the show is fake? because in other interviews she claims the show is 100% real! why is the entire interview about her twitter page? are fans just suppose to sit back and watch Melissa stick the knife further into Teresa’s back while listening to OnDisplay? this interview is ridiculous and really shows which “team” that Lynn is on!
Sheri,
I think Lynn is on team INterview lol. If a housewife is willing to give an interview to her, she will post it. Lynn cannot control Melissa’s responses. She is a blogger not a reporter. She has every right to like who she likes….even if you don’t. I cannot stand Melissa Gorga and Jacqueline Laurita….but that doesn’t mean this could change in the future. I like coming here because of the different opinions and perspective….don’t allows agree but i respect the fact we are allowed to have opinions so openly.
Thanks for reading Sheri, when you post YOUR interview with Melissa, let me know, I’d love to read it!
Lynn, that comment was beneath you. Don’t go getting all Mego on us now! lol
yes it was
No actually it was honest. You don’t have to like the subject of the interview or what that person said but I can’t change what they said or who they are so ripping on me is completely unnecessary and rude.
Calling the entire interview ridiculous was rude.
a little harsh, no?
No, HER comment was very harsh
i agree that calling the interview ridiculous was also harsh (and i don’t think it was ridiculous! i think it’s great that you’re getting interviews with so many housewives! this blog has really taken off over the past year!)
i just don’t think we should all be reduced to a lot of snark on either side.
Respectfully, I don’t think I should have to sit and take someone being rude to me on my own blog. I work very hard to try to put out a good blog every day and I’m not going to sit quietly while someone slams me. I’m sorry that you don’t approve but I don’t approve of Sheri’s rudeness.
as I said, I don’t agree with the interview being called ridiculous. I respect the amount of time you spend on this blog — I can’t even imagine the hours you put in on this for us, and I think you maintaining the blog is AMAZING. the community has grown so much and the blog has evolved to so much more than your original housewives vision, which I think is really cool.
and I see nothing wrong with wanting to express your unhappiness with someone crapping on your interview. It’s just my opinion that the other commenter’s rudeness could have been answered in a less harsh way, is all.
Sorry but if you thought that was harsh, you should go and read the comments on some other blogs. RT and Radar to name two. brutal! I thought I was being pretty tame to be honest.
Meow!!!!!! Thanks for proving why I dont want to read your blogs again Lynne. At least Roxy ALLABOUTTRUTH doesnt get bitchy when people dont agree with her.
Yes you are def a MeHo now Lynne. Your new name will now forever be LynnHo.
Seeing someone an hour a week for a few weeks I’m not sure how much we really know them.
I liked the interview with some of the Mad Men cast and the writer of the show. They’re all very human and do selfish things but most do really kind things that few see.
Great job on the interview Lynn! Like I said on an earlier blog Teresa is coming to Florida in the summer so will give a shout out to the blog when i see her and hope she will do an interview in the future.
Regarding the question about Gia’s birthday party Melissa stated that she and Teresa know what happened…..she also forgot to say Reality Tea. Remember, that is the blog that she sent the nasty story to regarding the party. ….yeah the story that had all the details about why Joe didn’t come and how Teresa caused all this commotion etc. Again, I don’t like, trust, or care for Melissa Gorga’s innocent act….it’s transparent.
As for as Twitter goes, Melissa’s sisters, mother, make up artists and friends have been bashing Teresa and Joe forever. They have tweeted nasty comments and have retweeted many rude comments about the Guidices. So what does Melissa have to say about that? It is only know that the sisters have cooled offed (probably at the request of melissa’s PR). The make up artist was insulting her husbands family as recent as last week. The thing is, Melissa never takes ownership for her part in anything. She loves pointing the finger and claiming innocents. If I were Teresa and had to deal with this trouble making fake, i wouldn’t have as much restraint. The only time Melissa and Joe want to act like they are working to repair anything is when photographers or Camera’s are on hand. Desparate to be famous at all costs…….
Mel,
That’s why I said earlier that it’s not Bravo’s fault about the family divide. It’s all on the Guidice & Gorga’s. Even the Gorga grandparents have helped create the war between Joe & Joey.
Hi Mel,
I didn’t know about the make up artist when I interviewed Melissa or I would have asked her about that.
I don’t have a problem with Melissa’s sisters, family etc saying what they want to say on Twitter, I have a problem when people make up fake names and refuse to identify themselves then bash people on Twitter. If you can’t say it under your “real” name, you’re a coward in my opinion. That is why I wanted Melissa to clarify this fake name stuff.
I have to admit I give Terese credit for not responding to all the nasty stuff, to my knowledge she is ignoring it all. That said, I think Melissa and her sisters have backed off as well. There is nothing good that will ever come out of a Twitter battle, IMO.
Thanks for reading and commenting Mel! xoxo
I wish Twitter had a function where they can tie any name to one home base (like an IP address without being too personal). That way it would be easy to discearn who is creating fake accounts.
It is my opinion that Melissa’s crew have created fake accounts in the past….and at some point i remember Joe Gorga himself accusing Teresa of the same thing (probably put in his head from his wife and her crew). Melissa would NEVER throw her own sisters under the bus…..she saves that for her Sister in Law lol.
Great interview Lynn….hope there will be many to come!
P.S I remember another blogger desparately tried to get an interview with Melissa Gorga…..maybe she can reference your interview Lynn……LMAO
I agree, I don’t like Melissa and never have (and can take or leave Teresa), from the moment Teresa got chosen to do the Housewives Melissa has been green with envy. She was so jealous of the fact Teresa was going to be on TV. I think her husband has been mad at Teresa from the beginning because Teresa did not try and get Melissa on the show with her. I think the more Melissa got upset about not being included in the filming the madder Joe got at Teresa. Melissa was so hell bent on having the fame Teresa had she was willing to throw Joe’s family under the bus and Joe supported her all the way because he felt it was Teresa’s fault his wife wasn’t included. As far as her sister’s go, whatever baby Melissa wants baby Melissa should get……NOT feeling the Melissa love. Joe should have put a stop to this along time ago, it was his family and he should have stopped it instead of pampering the spoiled brat of a wife he has. Melissa is a nobody and will always be one. Not that impressed with anything she said in the interview either, I think she knew what was said earlier about not giving the interview she said she would give and wanted to make sure she didn’t get on the wrong side on this blog. Good job trying Lynn but I don’t think you got any thing new. Sorry but it was just Melissa’s way of continuing her “I am so sweet tour, love me”
All you have to do is pay attention to how Melissa and her posse are out there slamming Teresa every chance they get while Teresa is busy on Celebrity Apprentice, selling cookbooks and making appearances. Jealousy much?
I give huge kudos to Teresa for not responding to Melissa’s obsession with trying to bring Tre down.
Instead of MeGo getting out there and being famous for her talents, she continues to use Teresa to get attention. It’s very sad.
You don’t see Teresa using Melissa for fame. She was already famous before anyone knew who Melissa was.
OMG, Lynn! This is an incredible great interview! Thank you Lynn! Thank you Melissa!
I am soooooo spoiled now! In the same week you interviewed Ramona Singer and Melissa Gorga? Wow! Lynn you are getting the recognition you and your hard work deserve! Yay!
“Thank you Jesus” is now my favorite motto in life. Thanks Melissa for bringing that into my daily vocabulary, nothing better than remember to thank who is Blessing us always!
The new Season of RHONJ seems “candente” (more than hot!) I can’t wait to watch it!
Yes. I am a viewer. Not a fan! Lol!
You’re an obsessed idiot
I don’t drink Vodka, but isn’t it naturally low/no calorie?
Calories In Vodka (On Average):
1 shot (1.5 fl. oz) of 40% (80 proof) vodka contains 103 calories
1 shot (1.5 fl. oz) of 43% (86 proof) vodka contains 105 calories
1 shot (1.5 fl. oz) of 45% (90 proof) vodka contains 110 calories
1 shot (1.5 fl. oz) of 50% (100 proof) vodka contains 124 calories
Calories in a few of the more popular brands of Vodka:
Smirnoff Vodka Red label 40% Alcohol – 1 shot contains 97 calories
Grey Goose 40% Alcohol – 1 shot contains 104 calories
Absolut Vodka 40% Alcohol – 1 shot contains 101 calories
LOL I just answered my question, couldn’t resist!
So I wonder how low the low calorie stuff is? Marketing ploy perhaps…
Great job Donna! I was curious as well! Perhaps the low calorie is in the… lemonade as a lack of information of what kind of cocktail is she trying to make us buy.
I will be an alcoholic with these Hw’s trying to follow Bethenny’s good fortune.
Didn’t Melissa said last time Lynn interviewed her they were going to release Champagne?
Champagne is harder to develop than wine & cocktails. I know they work w/vineyards, not B, but if you fail w/Champagne that’s a huge blow.
That is true Powell.
BTW – I think that Bethenny’s SGM is Tequila Jose Cuervo… my dad was an accountant and when recently married my parents went to live from Mexico City to Tequila, Jalisco. Mx.
Because of Tequila is from Origin, like Champagne from the Region of Champagne, France. The distilled Blue Agave (or cactus) has to be produced in Tequila, Jal. to held the name of Tequila…
wow Lynn you keep racking up the interviews!!!
i FINALLY caught up on last sunday’s RHoA (I haven’t exactly been in a rush to watch each week), and ugh I cannot stand Cynthia. I didn’t care for her much in the first season either but she’s definitely less likeable this season. Who would’ve thought I’d end up liking Sheree, Kim, Phaedra, and Nene this season more than Kandi and Cynthia? craziness.
I’m not looking forward to RHoNJ at all. I don’t doubt that Teresa has caused issues with MeGo and Joe, BUT I’m so tired of MeGo acting like she’s totally innocent in the whole thing.
Sorry but I don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth. Like most of the rest of them, she’s there for self promotion. The worse part of it is, she’s pushed her hubby’s family, apparently with his blessing, in front of a runaway freight train.
Mmm hmm MTH. I feel her reason to do the show was self promotion & to continue to fight w/in the family. But if T had welcomed her to the show I believe the family fighting could’ve turned around.
That’s entirely possible. I think however, this divide goes way back before there even was a RHONJ.
Yeah. This was their opportunity to heal the family. I don’t think it’ll happen now because they’re egos are inflated to the max. I just hope it doesn’t affect the kids & their relationships as they grow & get older. If that happens then there will be no one to blame but their parents. Can you imagine this continuing for yrs thru the kids?
Not only can I imagine it, I’ve seen it, in my own family (extended).
That’s ashame.
What I cant understand is how Joe Gorga supports his wives actions. Kudos to Teresa for keeping her mouth shut . Some day Joe will open his eyes to all of this and see how his wife kept the feud going.
I don’t see how Teresa supports her husband’s actions. He’s as much to blame for this feud as anyone else, but perhaps because he’s so disgusting on all levels the feud is the least of her worries.
I don’t think she does. Not to any great extent anyway. More than once, I heard Teresa ask her husband not to put her brother and his family down.
Happy Sunday everyone,
I hope you had a great Saturday.
For all you AMC fans tonight is S2 premier of The Killing. I still have no idea who killed Rosie. Do any of you?
No. But why do so many of the new dramas have the same formula bs? Awake now even has the conspiracy aspect. That’s what killed Damages imo. The Mentalist keeps coming back to Red John which is ruining that show too.
I just finished Season one on Netflix. Thought that it was a great show. Can’t wait to see it tonight.

Here’s something interesting I ran across – husband of one of the new HWBH, if I’m thinking of the correct David Foster. I recall an amazing CD I had of his music at one time. Seems perhaps there’s a “housewife” on the way who will bring some REAL class to the show? Finally Lisa can related to someone!
Thanks for the interview Lynn. I am glad I didn’t expect anything else from Melissa.
My most disliked Housewife is still JZ because she is mean and a liar, at least I have to give it to Jill that she is not very smart so she doesn’t plan in advance, she is more of an opportunist and she sucks at it so 9 times out of 10 she gets caught and backfires on her.
Melissa on the other hand, is the kind of woman that I fear the most, there are many like her in real life, pretty on the outside but rotten on the inside, she is smart which makes her even more dangerous because she plans and plots, she let others take the fault and she does it in such way that she comes out smelling like roses, well at least in her mind. She uses her sisters and other staff to do her dirty work and then she claims innocence with a smile on her pretty face.
Melissa Gorga, two things have stuck with me since the beginning:
1) How the baptism fiasco started when you said to Teresa “why are you here now?” that was the clue that your husband needed to act like an animal but you were by no means innocent.
2)When it was Gia’s competition and you guys arrived late Teresa and her brother seemed to be getting over it and I thought for one second that you could redeem yourself , by insisting in Joe to be there, but what do you do next? all the way home you complained about how Joe’s family ignored you and how they only loved him, blah, blah, blah, Joe went back to zero in a second.
Melissa you are of the worst kind, because you are the kind that throws the stone and hides the hand. I am talking directly to you because I know for a fact that you are so narcisistic and arrogant that not only you but your sisters are reading this blog right now.
Some might fall for your sneaky games, but when it comes to you, my eyes are wide open, as I said before Bravo is not particularly known for bringing wholesome ladies but with you they really went to the lowest level, a person who is willing to destroy her husband’s family in order to promote a singing career is in my book the lowest of the low.
Cartwheels,
Your post was soooo on point!!!! I was doing cartwheels reading it lol.
Melissa Gorga is cunning and manipulative and with a person like Joey falls right into her hands with ease.
Another thing that infuriates me is how Melissa and Bravo act like the Danielle thing never happened. We never got the full story behind that and it was just grazed over at the reunion. If you notice Melissa and her busted crew never apologize for ANYTHING….but almost demand an apology from Teresa every five minutes. Stop playing the innocent victim, when we all know your hands are dirty.
Exactly, she contacted Danielle when she knew Danielle and Teresa were sworn enemies? why? there was a reason, after everything else had failed , Melissa knew she can always count on Danielle’s lack of common sense and filter to spew her name and it happened, hadn’t it been for Danielle bringing it up to Andy’s attention, Melissa would had never been part of the RHNJ. I remember when Vicky and Donn separated, Andy showed a little confessional with Donn giving his side of the story, I wonder if during the awful reunion from last season when they were getiing Teresa railroaded, if any of them thought to bring Danielle’s side of the story to this reunion?
Danielle hates Teresa so why would she lie for her? There was so much that Andy didn’t ask Melissa and let her get away with her innocent face and the tear dwindling in her eyes lashes, it was disgusting.
ITA except I think Andy was well aware of MeHo and little Joey.
Great post Cartwheels! ITA.
Love, Love, Love your post!
I’m no “fan” of Melissa but you did a great job Lynn. I’m excited to see who the next interview will be
Me too Lori. Maybe Cynthia.
Nancy,
Please don’t leave the blog. Obviously, things happened off of the blog and I am not privy to them either. I have had the pleasure of emailing with you and even speaking to you over the phone. You have never been anything but gracious.
Based on what I do know I think it was shameless to out a private citizen on this blog.
Really, what was the gain or the point for that matter?
KLMH, I hope you come back too. You said what you said (which I wholeheartedly agree with) and it wasn’t well taken. I realize Diva was upset about her husband’s medical care ( aren’t we all when our finger hurts)…..but to paint a whole profession with a broad brush is unfair as well.
Have a lovely Sunday!!
Me too! I agree with all you wrote.
Thanks Mazel – Nancy and Klmh are family – they add so much to the blog and they deserve the respect we are known for!
Hey girl. I hope your medical issues have gotten resolved. Too bad it wasn’t your feet. Someone, specifically Dr. Mazel, could rub them every night until they felt better. he he he he
City
Mine are all resolved!! How are you???
NJBev,
Doggies are brillliant at comforting their tummy when they eat something they shouldn’t. Don’t forget that is the kind of food they ate in the wild.
Riley killed a squirrel in our house and it was his proudest day!!! That dog did the proud strut for days. It didn’t even occur to me to call the vet.
Wow – I’m pleased about how much attention this interview is getting. People are really sharing strong opinions. Maybe there is hope for the housewife franchise yet.
NY was too toxic (it was the song that never ends ….)
BH was too grim (with the suicide / abuse story line)
ATL is too tame (with everyone playing nice)
OC is too … oh – I care so little I can’t even finish the sentence – too forgettable
Maybe NJ will be just right
I do have hope for a new NY with the toxicity removed
BH – they know what they have to do and it starts with getting rid of something that almost rhymes with failure – and starts with a T.
I hope my posts do not come across as if I am in Team Teresa because I am not, if anything another reason for me to dislike Melissa is because she deprived me of the pleasure to start ripping Teresa apart for her bankrupcy shenanigans while spending like crazy.
As I was getting ready to do that, there shows up the evil SIL who plots and concocts to make Teresa look like the devil, all the while her actions spoke louder than her words, and dagone Teresa had to take the high road and I just couldn’t but feel sorry for her.
I didn’t like to do that, I didn’t like that I had to change my stance, I still do not like Teresa and probably never will, but I sure do respect the fact that despite all the vile things her “family” has put her through, she has taken it in strides. I think that Teresa has done what her brother should have done too, she thought about her parents and what would all this do to them.
Melissa doesn’t care about Joe’s family, I wonder if she would be willing to do the same to her own family, I doubt it.
Can someone please tell me what exactly Melissa did to Teresa? What does everyone know that I don’t? It can’t simply be because she accepted Bravo’s offer to be on the show???
I’ve been wondering the same thing, Lynn. Did I miss something?
I see a lot of anti Melissa comments here, but that’s ok. We are each entitled to our opinions. Mine is definitely pro Melissa and am I am sooooo not a fan of Teresa and her Joe.
OMG you’re kidding right? Okay this is my last post on your lame blog. If you cant see through MeHo’s fakeness then you’re an even bigger idiot than I thought. You can reply to my via twitter MeHo Famewhorga is the name cos I cant bring myself to come back to this site especially when the blogger is not only stupid but is a bitch to people who leave a comment she doesnt like. Moron Inc…..GOODBYE!!!!!

Who’s excited about #celebrityapprentice tonite? I’m finally project mgr! It’s on NBC at 8pm ET 1 hr earlier #TeresaTakesTheBoardroom
I might have to peek at that. I’ve been boycotting Trump since his kids killed elephants in Africa for sport a few weeks ago.
It’s a 3 hour episode tonight. I don’t envy BB having to recap That. I can barely get it right in a one hour show. Still though, looking forward to seeing what, if anything, Teresa can do.
3 hours! OY!
I have Mad Men! The Amazing Race!! Is Good Wife on tonight or was last week the finale?
Not to mention RH of Someplace and Mob Mates … sheesh!
No wonder it takes me all week to catch up.
No Amazing Race tonight. CMA Awards instead. Tune in if you care to see the shocked look on Taylor Swift’s face for the umteenth time. Myself, I’ll be watching The Donald and Teresa. There’s Desperate Housewives too. Maybe we’ll get to see if they finally toss Bree’s behind in the slammer. I’ll tune into Mob Wives at some point just to see Renee melt down some more about her ‘rat’ husband. You know there’s nothing she hates more than a Rat. Let’s see how she handles having one in her Own family.
Ha!
I watched Renee’s meltdown Part 34 last week. The NOTE! Then tracking JR down at the Feds.
It must suck to BE her or be around her. She has serious rage-a-thons. I am very interested in Renee’s coming to terms with that aspect of herself. She speaks honestly about it in her talking heads.
I’ll check in with CA. I know some people hate the boardroom – but to me that’s the best part. Trump is excellent at cornering people.
That he is. He seems to listen to what he’s being told and seeks out the weak spots. He has also taught his kids quite well in that aspect. Usually the tasks are piss poor boring to me and tonight, I think there are Two.
It looks like Bravo’s lineup is new tonight as well but for the most part, I’m over it.
I saw that…I’m bummed, not so much that the show isn’t on but that I don’t get to read your blog Mel. I don’t know why I waited so long to ask you to write them. You do a great job! Thanks Mel!
If you’d like to write an opinion blog in it’s place this week you’re more than welcome, anytime! xo
I wrote an opinion blog the other night and look what happened. I think I’ll pass on it unless I can come up with something TV related. You already have the shows I watch covered so I’ll be (officially) back Thursday morning with Survivor.
Glad you enjoy them though.

I like how Melissa dodged the part of Lynn’s question as to why her icky husband didn’t show up to his neices’ birthday party, you know the neices he adores? Not buying that sweet act. All you have to do is look at her sisters to know what’s underneath all that sweetness. And she’s lying when she says her relationship with T is a work in progress. Neither one of them is working towards making up. And it’s really not Melissa place to make up with the Guidices – it’s her husband’s. He should be the one taking the lead, it’s his family, and Melissa should follow. It’s not her place to be the peacemaker, which I believe is an act also. If all involved wanted to make peace, they would find a way to do it. If seen numerous families who aren’t all lovey dovey, but they do know how to act civil around one another.
Dina tweeted as an April’s fool joke that she is back on Season 5. Teresa’s answer says it all
Dina Manzo@dinamanzo
Just signed my contract for season 5 of NJ Housewives, I’m Baaccccckkk
Teresa Giudice@Teresa_Giudice
I wish! Then again i wouldnt wish it on any family xx RT @dinamanzo: Just signed my contract for season 5 of NJ Housewives, I’m Baaccccckkk
Lynn – your interviews are excellent!
As for Mego – sorry but she is a conniving bitch who is ruining the Gorga family in her quest for “fame”. Her husband is an immature idiot and Teresa just wants respect for their parents. Knowing the coming season was filmed before the let’s pile on Teresa reunion just indicates to me that it is more of the same ole same ole – not interested in “let’s pretend it is all about family” while we view the shredded remains. I don’t like Teresa (for the bankruptsy) but I really don’t like Melissa because she is as fake as her tan and has no concept of respect and family traditions.
Joe Guidice is as bad as Melissa – remember the disgusting stunts he pulled last year with the texting. He’s just not a famewhore. This family is in horrible shape, but I don’t think it is all due to Melissa.
True it is not just Melissa. Juicy is a jerk but under all the jerkiness he shows respect to Teresa’s parents. IMO, none of them are worthy of any fame but I do believe that respect is lacking on Melissa’s part towards her husband’s family.
I would imagine the parents of T and Joe aren’t that easy. The anger issues both T and Joe display have to come from somewhere – I think the damage runs deep. I agree 100% with showing respect to your husband’s parents – (but if they are completely toxic then a respectful distance is okay too) – but as far as respect toward T and Juicy – that has to work both ways.
Ltnn
Great interview. U just keep pumping gold and we get to “wear” it.
Agree!!! Love you back wsl!!!
I recently re-watched (more like half-watched/listened while doing housework) season 3 of NJ. I was struck by how transparent MeGo actually is. One second she’s telling viewers how badly she wants to make up with Tre and how hard she’s trying, and the next breath she’s throwing a nasty little dig at her or sitting around making fun of her with Kathy. Ugh!
She strikes me as being very self-absorbed and honestly comes across like she couldnt give a shit about her husband’s relationship with his family. I do not buy that story about Joe Gorga’s parents not liking that he works so much – please! It’s obviously something to do with her and her husband. Kathy, Caro, Jaq, Mego blame Tre and Joe Guidice for everything that goes wrong in the universe lmao! Hence the super slanted reunion… I’m CERTAINLY not saying Tre is innocent either, but Mego is way worse to me in how obviously manipulative she is, it’s scary.
You could tell she cant handle criticism when she went off on Jay Mohr on Twitter… Her sisters seem like bitter jealous people and of course they are involved in twitter wars with Tre fans… totally pathetic. Melissa came on the show because she’s a famewhore. I know all the HWs are famewhores, but she is worse. She is throwing her husband’s family under the bus in her quest for a singing career. She contacted Danielle, remember? She’s a vicious person desperate for fame.
Sorry Lynn I’m not trying to be negative, just while she’s up for discussion I thought I would chime in. Me no likey haha :/
Please don’t apologize, you all have to share your opinions. That’s the whole idea!
Thanks for posting!
What Joe’s parents probably don’t like about him working so much is why he has to work so much, so his spoiled brat wife can have everything she feels she deserves in life. After all didn’t she say she had it all, well someone has to work to give it all to her. And I think he is creepy!
Nancy, I have no idea what is going on. I don’t care. I want you here.
Diva, I have no idea what is going on. I don’t care. I want you here. I want to hear how Mr. Ford is doing.
Empress, Pls come visit.
Error404, Miss you, pls come back to let us know you are OK.

klhm, Oh, I tried not to click on the links, I really did. HAPPILY, I saw nothing wrong with what you said the first time, in the heat of the moment, and your later apology, which sounded completely sincere.
I am going to try to go back to blissful ignorance.
klhm, I don’t care what is going on. I want you HERE.

We are not the average viewers of reality shows – we know more about these individuals than what is filmed and edited for the viewers’ benefit. It is hard to watch any given franchise and not use the extra info we have to form our opinions. All families have their particular dysfunctions and traditions and we slap our own personal experience layers into the mix. My biggest problem with RHNJ is that these are real families destroying themselves because of a tv show! The cameras will leave but the hurt will remain.
So true Windy!
I don’t know what is happening behind the scenes and care that is affecting regular posters…can we all just forget about it and start fresh? This has been a warm and fuzzy place to come to and dragging strange stuff out is nasty; that kind of thing needs to stop and I am glad Lynn took a very strong stand to this – THANK YOU LYNN!
NJBEV – thanks for the shout out about my website, sorry it’s taken me awhile to catch up and my apologies for not thanking you.
One of the things I’ve always like about Lynn’s blog has been the civility and respect, let’s not let one horrific, stupid, thoughtless incident by someone who had hopefully a moment of insanity (with regard to Nancy) deter who we are and the value system of free speech/blogging that Lynn set up for us. I HATE underhanded sneaky attacks and that is my last word on the subject.
NANCY- I hope you read this! Please don’t leave and don’t feel the need to apologize for anything. I stopped reading some time ago, but have been back for a few months and read the blog every day.
I personally have not read anything that you should apologize for.
And for those asking it to stay off the blog, I completely agree that things occurring outside of the blog should stay off of the blog. HOWEVER, Nancy and her family were ATTACKED without provocation on this very blog.
So to ask her not to respond or defend herself when the other poster attacked her is a little one sided to me. I’m sure Nancy has no interest in continuing to speak about it, but I’m just saying fair is fair- her family member, who isn’t even on this blog, was attacked and she had every right to defend herself.
Nancy, you should not leave and I have no problem saying that the other poster (and a few more) were completely out of line and that type of personal attack on a reality blog is vicious and unnecessary.
I hope they all resolve the issues, but I wish to make clear that, in my opinion, Nancy did nothing wrong and has nothing to apologize for. If only some others would have the class that Nancy has….
Also my thoughts are with every last person on this blog who are going through a hard time. But, going through struggles does not give one the right to lash out at others. It may be hard not to do when under stress, but perhaps this forum isn’t appropriate when we’re feeling tense…and lord knows we all feel that way at one time or another!
I think of Emily all the time, Nancy, as I have my own munchkins that I am madly in love with.
hold up.
No one has asked Nancy not to respond or defend her husband. At all.
I have asked Nancy to make her apologies to those she believes she has hurt off the blog.
There’s a big difference.
I completely agree that outing anyone is out of line and unnecessary, but particularly a husband who has never even posted on the blog? Vicious and cold hearted- no matter what Nancy’s perceived transgressions may have been.
I’d like to add that I don’t believe anyone has asked Nancy to leave the blog. If they have, I sure missed it.
Never said she was asked to leave, I said she was asked to discuss this issue off of the blog when her character was defamed on the very same blog.
There’s a difference.
Either way I see no reason for ‘third parties’ to discuss the specific content that is at question, I merely wanted to lend my support to Nancy and make a general statement about what I thought was fair which would be the right to address character assassination in the same forum that it was presented.
No hard feelings to anyone, I just felt strongly that she should be supported and I know a lot of regular posters like to stay neutral, with good reason, but I personally, supported one side over the other.
I agree! It was so hurtful and out of line. I was just so happy to see some regulars support her, including you.

Lynn, Awesome job by the way! Don’t know how you do it!
I did not win the Mega Millions jackpot.
Dang.
So I guess that means we aren’t all going to the Bahamas….
Haha. I asked yesterday & nobody fessed up.
Powell, If I had won, nobody would have known. I would definintely remain anonymous at least for a while.
If I had won everybody would be invited to The Bahamas with a special embroided with your names -very impersonal, thou.. and a BIG check for everyone on this board!
*special LV purses embroided with your names inside*
You are very generous, Ms. Cusi!
So generous!
Well, I just ran out to look for my check when I realized you said IF you had won. Damn! Gotta go to work yet another day.
BB me too.
Lynn,
Look at you!!! So proud of you and all the exciting things happening with your blog. I really do appreciate you and all your hard work!
This place that you created helped me heal. I will always be grateful to you and the ladies and gentlemen of this blog for that!
Thank you so much PrincessPindy!! I’m so glad that we could help at all and I’m grateful for all of you here! I mean ALL of you!
xo
Best site around http://www.allabouttrh.com/
I always enjoy your posts and miss you when you’re not around, PP.
ditto! welcome back and glad you are feeling like the princess we know and love again.
Thank you, I’ve become addicted to Castleville on FB and have a volunteer position that has me working my butt off.
As Maxwell Smart would say, “Annnnd loving it!”
Have fun!
@Lynn: Great interview. I went to the movies and came back to all these great posts. One thing you have give NJ Housewives credit for is they do bring out some really strong opinions. Either way it is fun to read all the points of view.
Best part about this blog is the posters.
Carry on!
@Nancy come on back. You will be missed. All good.
@ Diva: Hope you and Mr. Ford are o.k. Just drop Lynn an email so we know you are fine.
Thanks AZ Girl!
I got an email from Diva on Friday, here is what she said about Mr. Ford:
Mr Ford is still quite ill and I am sure he will be fine in time..baby steps as they say…..
Thanks for asking
Diva
Thanks Lynn. I hope Mr. Ford feels better. Sending them prayers.
Thks for sharing Lynn.
I hope the long road to recovery for Mr. Ford is smooth and without too many twists and turns. I know he’s in good hands.
I know this is petty and silly but can’t help it lol.
I don’t have twitter, but if you google someones twitter name it brings up their twitter account.
Yesterday Teresa tweeted that she was going to see Mirror Mirror with her girls and she tweeted a picture of her youngest drinking a slurpy.
Today Melissa Gorga tweeted that she was going to take her kids to see Mirror Mirror and then tweeted a picture of HER youngest drinking her slurpy LMAO.
It’s like deja vu and it started to make me reflect. Teresa is on a hit show and spotlight on her. Now Melissa is on the same hit show. Teresa was funny and had a group of girlfriends that enjoyed her. Now Melissa has those same friends(regardless if it’s a phoney friendship)……TEresa’s former friends. I remember when Tre put up all those former professional pictures of her girls and gave a shout out to her long time photographer. Not even a few days later….Melissa put pictures of her kids over the years and spotlighted the same photographer lol. During the season Melissa was talking crap to a hairstylist…..you guessed it Teresa’s hairstylist lol…..about how Tre makes a big deal about using her people. Then, in terms of phrases, I remember Teresa in season one always saying “love, love, love etc. Then i see Melissa saying that same phrase. Bravo even showed a clip put the exact same outfit Teresa’s daughter had on during the season they went to Italy. The list goes on and on and on.
At first…I initially thought Teresa was overreacting. I mean it isn’t a crime to get a refferal or use someone that a family member or friend has…especially if they do good work. However, copying EVERY single thing….is just plain creepy. I mean….how many hairstylist, photographer, dresses, kids outfits are there to choose from? Isn’t it weired that someone has to copy every single iata of another?
It is kind of creepy…I don’t follow twitter, but glad you posted this. That is the whole reason Melissa came on the Housewives. On one hand I don’t blame her for wanting to make big bucks etc.. (if that is your thing), but I think it could have been a lot more finessed than it was. JMHO
Also think there is much more to the backstory of the parents, T and her brother. Usually Italian sons are extremely close to their mom and pop. Something stinks in Jersey and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Actually they all make me a bit crazy, but love to watch them….it’s my guilty pleasure for sure.
Mel, you are definitely the person I would turn to if I wanted any Mel/Tre info. Lol.
Mel – it is a very weird and creepy tit for tat! They may live in a small town and have limited services but one would think that the “second in to the copy cat party” would make an effort to do something more creative and different….. and whining doesn’t count! lol
Monkey See, Monkey Do.
Spot on Mel. I saw the two pics… Kinda creepy, SWF-ish
This is funny. Latest from Jillzy on Twitter. Someone was being snarky and she tried to be cute back which just came across bitchy.
Tampons? Apple? RT @MiszBHavin Every time you endorse something I cross it off my list!
Did anyone else see that Melissa uploaded a pic of her son at the movies….few hours beforehand Tre uploaded a pic of her girls at the movies..It’s like the Brandi/Leanne competition almost.
Kinda like Kelly posing in bikinis a day or two after pictures of Bethenny in a bikini are published. Kreepy and pathetic at the same time.
yeah, Leann buying the same bikini as Brandi
It is very creepy if you ask me. I think Melissa probably count on most viewers who just watch the show, you wait and watch, she will accuse Teresa of copying her.
At this point I don’t blame Melissa as much as I blame Joey, he has seen now first hand all his wife sheenanigans and the way she talks about Teresa to her sisters, he has to know that his wife is big, big part of the problem and instead of doing anything about it he is acting blind, I wonder if Joey goes broke and Melissa’s career as a singer never takes off, what would Melissa do?
Leave him in a New York minute
She is copying Tre again. I think when Tre leaves they will make Mel the villain.
When Mr. Gorga was laying down on the couch, he seemed upset at the time with eye and health problems, his son Joey seemed disconnected to me. Joey wanted to get some wine and Gia said “no wine, no wine”. Joey humm once again suggested wine and Gia insisted no wine, no wine, shaking her head no and putting her arm across grandpa’s chest. I did catch a glimpse of a smile when Mr. Gorga looked at Gia. He always looks angry to me.
I get the sense that Mr &Mrs Gorga (senior ) don’t like the cameras. They really prefer not to be seen on camera. Shame I really feel bad for them.
Poor Melissa – it has to be very hard to go from being the adorned baby sister, center of attention in her own family to just the wife of the whinny baby brother in another family. She is miserable and in turn makes her husband miserable – no happy wife, happy life there.
That is only because Melissa wants to be the Queen of two castles, it is not going to happen, she would be better of to accept the fact that for her husband’s family, Teresa will always be the center of attention and the most loved one, because she is the daughter. I am pretty sure that Melissa is the Queen of her family being the baby sister and all.
Melissa is the kind of gal that always wants eyes on her and just can’t deal with the fact that Teresa is much more famous than her, it eats her alive.

New Blog! Let’s Chat!
Lynn
Before this fued went public, it was equally Teresa’s and Joe Gorda’s fault. However, the best interest of the family should have been put first before Melissa’s desire to be a singer. When Joe made this fued public, now its all his fault. Italian American were taught to stand by their family. He is an embaressment and a sell out. Teresa should not trust him. He should change his last name to Marco.
What a crock! Melissa is a fake, her sisters are fake, & Joe is a traitor! That’s the fact. Melissa doesn’t post negative things on twitter? So accusing someone of being a drug addict isn’t negative? Or was it ok because she wanted to draw attention away from Angelo’s interview?
Melissa, her sisters, & Joe make no fake accounts? Then why do IP Addresses stem from their streets/homes ? This is a fabricated interview with scripted answers and the real truth will be exposed because…..
KARMA’S A BITCH!!!!!
You really should calm down, your blood pressure is going to go through the roof. You have PROOF of all of this? Send it on, otherwise making accusations that you cannot prove is a bad idea. Who is Angelo?
How do you “fabricate” an interview? I asked questions, she answered them.
Lynn,
My blood pressure is just fine. Angelo was the manager of Lookers Gentleman’s Club for 13 years where Melissa worked as a dancer, stated by Angelo. Melissa then said she worked there for only couple of months, pay stubs proved over a year.
If you’ve followed comments on twitter by @johnnythegrk, @PDKHAIR, @kimdposche, and others you will see on different occasions how they have stipulated they have linked numerous troll account ip addresses to known people’s homes/streets. They have also stated that those ip addresses will be released and the people who own those addresses will be exposed in due time.
I know your loyalty falls in with Melissa, Joe, & her sisters but I due believe Lynn you’re on the wrong side. They have been exposed numerous times, made comments that were then deleted, and even has had her makeup artist and her pr Robyn attack others when she’s in need for attention. You’re smarter than that Lynn, I know you are. Research the facts and shed light on Melissa’s manipulative mind games.
No matter what, truth will be exposed because…..
Karma’s A BITCH!!!!!
Karma….i can see your new to this blog based on your disturbing commentary. This is a friendly blog that allows for open and RESPECTABLE comments.
I will give you the back story about the twitter war Lynn,
Anywho….Lynn I compeltly forgot about that whole story about Melissa’s former manager. I for one don’t trust this guy as he is connected to this famewhoring couple who is desparatley trying to get on season 5 of NJ. As much as i can’t stand Melissa…..the famewhoring couple is DISGUSTING. They come on almost all the housewives blogs to campaign to get on the show. Will not give their names or else they will invade the blog : )
Anyways, a couple of months ago the manager that was seen from the clips of the new season did an interview with another blog. Will not put out the blogs name out of respect for this blog….but the interview was about the rumors of Melissa being a stripper. Melissa was obviously not happy about this interview and thus began a war btwn Melissa and the blogger. During this battle Melissa Gorga, her sisters, and even her lawyer started to harrass the blogger. Her lawyer went as far as calling the blogger a skank. Melissa’s sister started crypticly tweeting the bloggers personal information and taunting her. Then the blogger called them out and tweeted her personal twitter account stating that she is not hiding from anyone. It was really immature tit for tat.
Then Melissa started tweeting that her former manager that gave the interview was a drug addict and nothing he says should be believed. Many on twitter followers became outraged. Melissa again said the guy had a “serious drug problem”. However, once she saw the heat from the comment she deleted the tweet. THe blogger than called her out on it and she denied it. . It was like a soap opera. Then the blogger found a fomer associate of Melissa’s and her PR Team and also did an interview with him. It was messy. Hope that updates you on the drama.
That’s an interesting overview Mel. How do you call an innocent couple (Johnny & Penny) Famewhores? None of us knew anything about these people until Melissa’s pr attacked them on twitter. You would know this, which I know you do, if you’ve done your homework. The problem here is, this is a pro-Melissa arena and I challenge anyone to the facts. I’ve followed the whole twitter drama/war since it begun and I speak with the knowledge of what I’ve been reading from both sides. This couple has been attacked, trolled, and always fired back without deleting any tweets. Obviously they have nothing to hide. In regards to them “wanting” to be cast on S5, they have never made that comment. Those comments have always been made by others wishing it be true and I happen to be one of them, yes.
For the record, that bloggers name is @allabouttrh and she did what no other blogger achieved to do, get the facts. Angelo managed for 13 years and was not paid for his interview. What did he gain? Nothing. All he did was disclose truth to set the record straight. Melissa’s sole intention was to embarrass and destroy her sister-in-law’s credibility and career which she failed to do. What’s more disturbing is Joe approved of this because of his own jealousy of his only sister. Where’s the loyalty?
Now I ask you, does Melissa not deserve the same in return? I truly hope Penny and Johnny are cast in S5 to level the playing field and expose Melissa, Joe, and her sisters for who and what they are. After all…..
Karma’s A BITCH!!!!!
Karma,
Funny how you knew exactly who i was referencing when i said “famewhoring couple” LMAO.
Let me guess….are you part of their camp?
Excuse me my dear, I’m part of no camp. But as you stated in your answer/comment about Angelo to Lynn you stated a famewhoring couple associated with the Who’s Angelo answer. If you need me to slow down please let me know and I’ll try to keep you up to speed on your own answer.
For the record, from what I’ve witnessed and investigated, Penny and Johnny are far from Famewhores. I suggest you try to be more accurate in your statements, but why should you “Mel”. If you bring an argument forward, try to make statements of accuracy and not your personal feelings. It’s quite juvenile.
Again, I reiterate, Melissa has been semi-exposed and is chasing her tail trying to cover her past. Obviously Penny and Johnny have additional information that will be brought forward “all in due time” and frankly I can’t wait.
Her poor, manipulative, and vindictive intentions of getting on the show where nothing less than evil. With Joe approving these methods makes him no better. In regards to her sisters, nothing but coattailers seeking their own name in lights with any chance they can get.
You claim I’m part of a camp? Yes I am, camp truth because ……
Karma’s A BITCH!!!!!
I never gave the name of the couple…YOU did. YOu new exactly who i was reffering to…….interesting. YOu are the same poster who comments on several blogs giving PR for the couple. So please spare me. It is obvious you know this couple or you are the husband or wife. Your PR campagin to get on the show is pathetic…..and i highly doubt it will work as it is desparate and sad. This couple reminds me of Kim G. All her pathetic attempts to be a permenant housewife have failed. Her ridiculus antics on the show and in public only make her look desparate. This couple and the loosers that are attached to them will suffer the same fate. Please stop embarrassing yourselves
As much as i cannot stand Melissa ……i feel sorry for her in regard to having to deal with these loosers. I guess that is her Karma lol.
You my dear are delusional. I am a supporter and you are obviously pro-Melissa, Melissa herself, or one of her sisters. I campaign for no-one! I do however campaign for truth and justice which we all deserve, especially Teresa. And again, I state facts. Neither of them (Penny or Johnny) stated their interest in getting involved in the show, but the followers insisted. That’s how all this was created.
In regards to your comment of losers: Penny owns a business, Johnny owns multiple businesses, and both are involved in real-estate investments. So I ask you, who are the losers? Those that own their own businesses, or the others that portray success, but have only dug themselves deeper in financial chaos?
I state facts that have been stated/stipulated on twitter and by third party additions. Try your own investigated/educated comments. Basically, think before you write.
Either way, my campaign of truth will end in success because …..
Karma’s A BITCH!!!!!
Does this mean no blog tomorrow
?
Of course there will be a blog tomorrow
I think Melissa is really good at spinning herself into a positive light. Watch this one…I don’t think she is the angel that she tries to make viewers believe that she is. While I’m not a fan of T, I think Melissa is a fake and a phoney!!
Congratulations on the interview Lynn. It is no secret that I dislike Melissa. I think she is a snake. I cannot add anymore to what has been said. My thoughts on Melissa are very close to what Mel and Cartwheel have already said.
Hi Lynn!! congrats on your interview with Melissa – I said a long time ago that the difference between T and M is that T you can see coming a mile away – but M sneaks up on you – she is very good at hiding her true character and people like that need to be watched – very carefully – the knife would be in your back and twisted before you even realized that she had been there at all – while T is no prize, you can’t miss her coming at you – not that it is because she is a direct person, but rather because she does not know how to hide her feelings or how to use media outlets and twitter twats to her advantage – M does –
I don’t know when the trouble in the Gorga family started, but it has been in full swing for a very long time now, long before the infamous Christening party – are the parents to blame? I don’t know – but I do know that all of the other parties are now fully grown adults – and absolutely refuse to act like it – my prayers are with their children, because as near as I can tell they have very few places to turn for the setting of a good example – and they all desperately need one –
as for those of you who are currently bashing Lynn’s interview – stop it – if you think you can do better then by all means go ahead – otherwise all you are doing is coming across as a bunch of jealous posters – don’t agree with the interview? fine – say so, state why and be done with it – but enough with the insults -
Melissa never had any good intentions going on this show. Neither did Kathy. Any idiot can see that. Did Teresa respond badly sometimes….yes. Caroline is a beast and Jacqueline is crazy. If I were Teresa, I would not speak to any of them any more. I was never a Teresa fan until last season. Melissa is not fooling anybody except Caroline, Jacqueline and Kathy. Joe is not handsome, he is a gross little troll and acts like a disgusting dog in heat.
