Dear Jaqueline Laurita,
I’m sorry I can’t take it anymore. You are not the first mother with a child that has autism. You are also not the brightest bulb on anyone’s Christmas tree. NO ONE IS LOOKING TO YOU FOR HELP or AWARENESS. Your tweets get more and more frantic as time goes on. You remind me of Earnest Angsley who was a charlatan preacher who would boink someone on the head and say “Can you say BAY BEE?” You are the worst “voice of autism ever.” JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.
You seem to think that no one would have ever known autism existed before you had an autistic child. GUESS WHAT? One in 88 kids has been diagnosed as autistic. You were practically the last person on earth who was unawared autism existed. No one needs you to tell us about autism. No one is unaware of autism EXCEPT YOU because YOU ARE A MORON. So now we must endure your 24/7 tweets with questions like “Aren’t you glad I am explaining this new thing to you? Isn’t it horrible? HOW OH HOW WILL I GO ON?” It’s pathetic.
“Teresa is a whore!” and “My kid can’t say I love You anymore!” makes everything about YOU. No one says sees this as you being an advocate. EVERYONE sees this as you being a media whore.
If I had a kid as beautiful as Nick, I would not be on twitter all fucking day. I might, you know, spend some time with him and not violate his privacy by giving interviews saying things like “oh look, he can high five now.” I would not act like I was the ambassador for his illness. I would be a mother. And that would require getting your ass off twitter sometimes and being a parent.
Oh yeah, on on behalf of Nick, I’d like to say fuck you for being a media whore parent instead of a real one!
Wow Ms Tattles, I love it when u don’t hold back… Have you been drinking tonight? For the record I agree with ya….
I don’t agreed that message was very ugly she is a sweet girl and yes there are other autism kids but she has never had one so this is new for her. Being rule lets me know your lifestyle you can be appeared to be cruel but that is not nice.
This is your best blog to DATE! You said what everyone is thinking. This chick is crazy and is hurting her child more than she’s helping! I hope Holly Robinson is watching her and keeps this wacko from becoming a spokesmen for AUTISM!
We bagged on Ashley for years when the real problem was lack of a stable parent!
I do not feel good about that comment.
I am not a parent. I have no right to criticize.
But I do have family familiarity with the issue and the parent involvled did not spend all day on twitter acting like it was the first time anyone had a kid with a disability and how GOD HIMSELF had chosen her as the weave wearing Jersey spokesperson…
Dont feel bad! My son was diagnosed at four years old. He has mild aspergers. It was life changing for me. It would take a lot for me to critisize another mother facing the same challenges. But Jac Laurita has gone over the edge. She is a wacko who needs to seek help for herself! Its almost as if she has turretts. she cant help the words that fly out of her mouth about Teresa Giudice! And these hateful words fall in between Autism help and reseach?
If you feed your kid these crackers he will get better…and FUCK TERESA GIUDICE SHES A WHORE but have you heard of this new therapy that will help your autistic kid speak more clear? TERESA GIUDICE IS A LIAR!!!!
WTF? THIS is some off the charts craziness!
Stot drinking Fartyllinie your acting like Juicy having sex with the Ape. Jac is a good mother, just becasue she tweets doesn’t mean she doesn’t take care of her child. I see you Tamratattle, you want some Treehuggers love back hmmmmm, shame on you lady and I thought you were—- wrong.
I’m glad you said you feel bad about that comment. I like you and your blog but that was mean and you owned up to it. I dont totally agree with you but I do think she needs to stay off of twitter so much. I think maybe its an outlet for her under alot of stress from her kids and that god awful tv show shes involved with.
She needs to re focus her energy.
It’s a personal issue.
Personal issue that you take out on a reality star. Like it or not Jacqueline has brought more awareness and IS helping people. Sorry to sad your negative blog speaks more about you than it does her.
STAR?? BWAAAHAHAHHAH. Please explain exactly what awareness she brought and to whom and also, what good does that do?? Frankly? I don’t care about the topic. She made me care less.
Ignore Lolag. She is in love with Jacqueline and in her loopy, imaginary mind, they are bff’s.
To call someone a bad parent is a little much. Sure Jacqueline seems to have a fw screws loose but to criticize her as a parent oversteps. You do not know her life and only see an hour a week and read her tweets. Jacqueline is a media whore but from what Ive seen on that show is that she loves all 3 of her kids to pieces and will do anything for them. If that is a bad parent then we have A LOT of bad parents out there.
And In terms of the autism. I think that after all the miscarriages she has had, she was happy to have a baby full term. I just wanna know what parent would be through the roof with excitement when they find out their kid has autism or some other disease? No parent would want that and I think the emotions that Jacqueline has showed are genuine emotions that anyone in her situation would feel.
Totally hear what you’re saying, but still… having known more than one parent with a special needs child, knowing how little time they have to do much of anything online or in social media, I think Tamara’s at best guilty of saying out loud what alot of us are validly thinking and feeling, that this woman is a bad parent.
I get how touchy a subject this is for some women, but I’m sorry, if your behavior obviously qualifies you as a bad parent, then an observer, especially one who sees your behavior because you’re a reality star, has a right to say that they think you’re one. Maybe we’re not all mothers here, but we were all children, which gives us arguably just as much right to weigh in.
On that note, would Nicholas be pleased to know that she is discussing his cognitive abilities with strangers on the internet? Is this fair to him to be the subject of her idiotic tweets? Real mothers protect their kids. Jax is doing the opposite.
She is not a bad parent, she is always home with her baby, look at the show
Um… Her daughter is a disgraceful person. And the mother daughter interaction shows why. She is a horrid parent.
Are you related to Tamra tattle, or just crazy fan LOL. Seriously I always see you fighting on behave or Tamratattle and acting all crazy. Take a chill pill LOL.
English is not your native tongue, is it? I am in no way related to TT. And I’m no one’s fan but my own.
Hasn’t it been over a year and some months sin e his official diagnosis? I understand how emotional damning it is to have a special needs kid, but damn Jacqueline. Put down the wine, stop talking snout Teresa, and get off twitter and parent your kids; not just the special needs one but the other one also. I can’t understand why she’s so hell bent on making us see Teresa for a lying grudge holding idiot, when she has her own issues (a bankruptcy, judgements against her husband); and over the summer some woman was on twitter talking about how she had a relationship with Chris Laurita. What did she accomplish from her twitter rants over the last year? Teresa has not changed (shes still not talking to her family, still selling books, wine, and hair care products, she’s still with her husband, and she’s still not caring what others think, as long as she sells her products and come off as a semi-victim). The last year everyone else has been obsessed with Teresa’s magazine covers, Teresa’s marriage and kids and products, meanwhile, they’ve done nothing. No other franchise is this full of idiots. Not NYC, not BH, not OC, not Miami, and for damn sure 100000% not ATL. I’m just saying, it’s a very good idea to appreciate your blessings and stop worrying about things, about other people that you cannot change.
PREACH TAMARA! You read from Chapter A to Z, then closed the book! Finally, someone to call it as they see it and not sugarcoat it!
TT, don’t feel badly about this post. My niece is 16 and was diagnosed at age 2. This has been around forever. Her throwing an event at the Brownstone and raising a few grand and tweeting her ass off about her issues (each and every fucking one of them) only raises awareness of her neurosis. We’ve known it for years. I think she’s just hoping to ensure a storyline for next year. Personally, I could live without seeing her again. xxx
Jacqueline is not the first to try and captalize…see Jennie McCarthy so yeah it’s whatevs…most people don’t have an attachment to a cause until it hits home so maybe she never thought twice about autism until her son got diagnosed
I totally agree. You don’t truly think about certain issues, until it affects your family. Just because she is on twitter most of the day does not make her a bad parent. Jaqueline is an example of a real housewife. She doesn’t seem to have anyone to talk too and so she uses twitter.
Totally disagree and I think the headline is unfair! If you don’t like it, stop following! Reminders don’t hurt, and not everyone knows about autism!
Why do people think it takes a lot of energy to tweet? I tweet a lot, have a full-time job and full life! Tweeting has nothing to do with being a good/bad parent!
Dont think its the tweets that bother people. Its her crazy behavior.. Insisting on outting her ex best friend and shouting terrible things about her. Teresa is a mother too. Jac would not appriciate Teresa going on twitter saying Jac is a bad parent a liar a sneak etc etc and then hiding behind her childs disability. Thats exactly what Jac is doing. She needs to pick a lane and stay in it. Either she wants to be a BRAVO fame whore and trash anyone who disagrees with her including her fellow housewives or she wants to be an Autisim activist and take the high rode. SHE CANT PUBLICLY DO BOTH!
Thank you!!!! It takes a half hour of my time to catch up on twitter fb and Pinterest
It’s kind of funny to come to someone’s blog, which kind of takes an effort, and say ” If you don’t like it, don’t follow her!!!” Do you see the irony there?
Didn’t think so. Heh.
Cosign!! Amen Tam for writing my thoughts exactly !! No disrespect for a disability but Come on Wacko Jacko, WE ALL KNEW ABOUT AUTISIM!
tell it like it IS gal !!!!!!
applause …
I agree. And I think it’s dangerous. I’ve seen how increadibly stupid the general population is. Dumber than she is dumb. She’s “educating” alright.
Like when Kathie Wakikiki was giving information about childhood obesity yesterday. She said that moderation would cure everything. So, it’s ok to eat a stick of butter. As long as it’s only one. I don’t know much about her. But I’d wager that she has never taken one class in nutrition in her life.
You have the Manzoids encouraging people to go get piss drunk in the streets of Hoboken. How is that going to work out for some stupid kid who makes their way tere and ends up in major trouble? Are Fredo, Sonny and Connie or the gay Tom Hagen going to cover their medical expenses?? And they encourage us to drink ink water that I’m positive is detrimental to one’s health.
Teresa’s horrific wine and hair care ventures are probably slightly less dangerous as she really has nothing to do with hem other than her name and constant schlepping around to promote them.
I guess I should stick to my “survival of the fittest” position and just concede that anyone stupid enough to take serious life advice or example from these people gets what they deserve. But it sticks in my fucking crawl that these shit people are making money hand over fist.
Oh and back to Jacqueline, this really made me want to strangle her: “How To Be Friends With An Autism Parent”. Really?????
me too..I would never be friends with likes of her!!! She is 40 plus and still has no clue on how to be a friend..no wonder she is married to Creepy Chris McCreeperton! No one normal would want her!
Please tell me youre being funny.. Did Jac REALLY post how to be friends with an autisim parent? hahahaha
Yes. Yes she did. There was a link that I didn’t follow. But way to make it about you!!! I’m waiting for the link to “How to Smash a Reality Whore in the Face with a Shovel”.
Tc, you said it best. The only time Jacqueline stepped away from twitter was when that woman was on there threatening to come forward with RECENT pics and interview about her relationship with Chris over the summer. When Jacqueline was dropping the bomb on Teresa about Joe’s infidelity, I thought to myself 1) Joes cheating doesn’t make Teresa look like a bad person with no character nor is it a reflection on her; and 2) I bet this bitch would melt if Teresa mentioned Chris twitter girlfriend. I said it after the first episode aired, I don’t understand why she cried like a baby about Nicholas not saying I love you to her, when she spends 2/3 of her entire day on twitter. There’s nothing wrong with sharing what you’ve learned, but damn every link to shit on YouTube, bitch please. And then more and more links to idk what those links are to; meshed between Teresa bashing. All the while, Teresa is trying her hardest not to piss her pants for laughing at this idiot. Girl bye. Get a damn grip. I agree with Tamara, this idiot is the worst parent on reality tv. Shes pimping her kids disability; worried about another woman’s marriage, while hers doesn’t seem that stable; and openly tweets about illegal drug abuse (the producers gave me some of their xanax) and alcoholism. This bitch is total void a clue.
Are you related to Tamra tattle, or just crazy fan LOL. Seriously I always see you fighting on behave of Tamratattle and acting all crazy. Take a chill pill LOL.
Oh dear. Seriously brain damaged.
Chile, turn the tv off and go to school.
Glad you said. I was certainly thinking it.
right on tam. as my mama always said, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. she needs to shut the hell up. and the jenny mccarthy comparison is a great one. its like she is a celebrity mom, as opposed to a real one. and i personally find that disgusting, especially in light of the fact that she has a child/children with special needs.
Can I sign that letter also!!! Having an Autistic grandchild who is almost 6 now, I just want to punch Jac in the face. I know that we will NEVER attend any event that she is involved with!!
You are right that you’d never attend any of her events because I don’t think she’d invite a moron like you in the first place. I feel sorry for your grandchild that you think punching people in the face is acceptable. Not a great role model.
Uh….donnalee did not say she punched anyone. She said she thought about it/wanted to. Big diff. Have you never had the urge to punch someone? If not, you are the only one. I’m sure ghandi wanted o punch a bitch at some point. Mother teresa probably had a split second thought about hitting some leper toddler whose ear fell off in her borscht. So shuttie.
I said “…that you THINK punching people in the face is acceptable”. The main word being “THINK”. Not too good on comprehension are you.
Lol. Seriously??? I can’t argue with stupid. You win.
Damn, Tamara… tell us what you really think!;)
Seriously, I applaud this entry. Sometimes, some things just need to be said a certain way.
i loved this post TT. I’m glad you called jac out for her dual (multiple?) personalities, but i really loved how you said that if you had a baby as beautiful as nick, you would BE A MOM to him. i thought that was very touching in it’s honesty and in it’s plea to the child’s own mother! also, i bothers me that jac seems to have forgotten about her other child at home- her other son. as if he is nonexistent now, because he isn’t interesting enough/afflicted enough to care about, or to tweet about. jac IS the worst mother on bravo. i loved your post.
Great Blog. This woman is seriously delusional. She and her husband ripped off the Susan G Komen fund for thousands and now she is raising money for Autism? This seems suspicious. I wonder if her son even has Autism. Didn’t I read that he has not been diagnosed by experts? I don’t believe anything she says.
I’m sorry. What?!? He hasn’t been diagnosed by experts!? I can’t I’m done. *jumps off cliff*
amazeballs
lawd…honey boo boo child i AGREE, this made my day
Bonnie, Jac, Ashley = arrested development
Dear tamaratattles, I enjoy reading your blog and love your sense of humor. I must say I was very disappointed reading this blog, you’re words are very harsh and hurtful. To criticize a mom to this degree seems very unfair. I’m a mom of 4 children and I have know idea how I would’ve handled a diagnosis of autism. I think Jac is probably doing what she thinks is the best for all of her children. I will continue reading your blog, I just felt the need to tell you that the post about Jac and the hurtful comments made me feel sad for Jac and any mother who might be struggling with these same issues.
You critisize someone for speaking about an adults crazy behavior and your user name is “Teresas low forehead”………………..dot dot dot
Say What?! Go scratch!! My comment has nothing to do with you and your unhealthy obsession with Teresa Giudice, you might want to see a shrink!! Just saying!!
Wow. You are a ginormous retard.
Anyone who uses the word “retard” loses all credibility when they comment on a post about Autism. I think it is safe to say that you don’t feel comfortable around the disabled or their families. Your prejudice is evident. Educated people don’t use that word, not even in name calling. Sad little person.
I’m pretty sure my saying someone is are tars has nothing to do with autism. Funny that you thought that though. Great insight into how your mind works. So tell me, how long have you considered autistic people to be retarded?
TC. Do pay attention. Autism falls under the mental health umbrella. As do those who were commonly referred to as “retarded”. Different categories but both are mental health issues. The correct term these days for “retarded” is “intellectually disabled”. To use the word you did as a put-down is to ridicule those who are genuinely disabled.
Lol. I’m everso glad you explained that all to me. Retard.
Sydney, you need to jump off your politically correct high horse. The word “retarded” comes from the term “mental retardation” which was always used prior to the GREAT POLTICALLY CORRECT POLICE came and told us what words we are allowed to say. It’s ridiculous. People are always going to make comments to others about being stupid. or retarded. or intellectually disabled. Why anyone wants to go on a crusade about what term to use is ridiculous. And if I wanted to insult your intelligence, which I don’t by the way, I would be trying to cause a rise out of you. So the more you scream DON’T SAY RETARDED! WE HAVE A NEW WORD FOR RETARDED! makes me know which word will get to you.
Same for so many words to describe minorities. I enjoy having an arsenal of offensive words. Changing them to something else doesn’t change anything. i.e. Colored people is offensive in the USA but People of color is politically correct. You’d be interested to know that “bad words” are different in every country. I don’t think you can say “fanny” in the UK because it is slang for vagina. But here we have “fanny packs” stop giving words so much power.
You don’t insult my intelligence as much as you insult your own by this type of reply. And you can’t even see it. Ironic as a blogger you say “Stop giving words so much power”. Words have always had power (for good and bad), and always will. That’s why you blog isn’t it, to have a voice and be heard?
Anyway, enough. I’ve said my share and you’ve been good enough to publish them. So we shall agree to disagree.
Sydney,
First of all thanks for posting on my blog. I enjoy alternate opinions and people who can defend them. I know that you are working in the field of autism and I have a HUGE amount of respect for that so I am going to tell you a personal story…
It’s a vague childhood memory of mine, many of mine are blocked out ..but that’s not important. this one I remember. I was a very religious little girl i a very religious family and I believe I was on a bus. Most likely for a field trip since I was not bussed to school in elementary.
It’s a big deal to and shaped my life at like age six. All of us kids were religious. Baptist mostly. And so one kid was saying that if you say GOD DAMN you will go to hell. And I am not even sure the kid say it, but he must have because otherwise why would I know what he said… and I thought to myself, “I don’t think that is true.” It’s just words.
The most important thing I remember thinking is “It’s just words”
When I got older, I tried to learn many languages. If there was one thing I wish I had studied harder, it is languages. And in all of them there are things you are not allowed to say. Bad words.
WORDS.
I try to say them all. They are WORDS. Their connotations change over time I have a LOT of emotions. And giving words such meaning is a great thing. I love having bad words.
That said. WORD POLICE are crazy. TC is right. why do you tie the word retarded in a negative way to austistic people? why is metal retardation considered bad? why can’t we say people who are slow to come around to new ideas are retarded?
It’s just words.
Tere$a Jewdouche Is the worst mother on Bravo! She is classless and ruthless and she’s embarassing her whole family for money.
Michelle, ITA, I don’t believe there is anything that Tre and Joe wouldn’t discuss in front of their children. I don’t want to say anything ugly about any mothers children but look at the difference between Jac’s little boys and Tre’s girls, I needn’t say another word.
Exactly what are you implying about the Guidice girls? Please be specific. What are the differences, besides them not being mentally defective?
What exactly does “Jewdouche” mean? Do you think that is remotely funny? I’m going to report you to the Anti decimation league you Jewish hater!!!!! It’s amazing that YOU would call anyone else “classless”.
You are right crazy old lady english is not my native language, but what we call people like is universal which simply is crazy, lonely, lunatic, needy, desperate for somebody’s recognition. You are crazy, get help old lady LOL.
I was just spelling phonetically. I am married to a jewish man. Never have been anti semetic. Sorry for the mosunderstanding.
Spelling phonetocally. Not an anti semite. Please accept appologies for mis understanding.
Maybe you should have spent some time reading jacquelins Facebook messages but you wrote this horrible blog. Notice all the trehuggers took joy in retweeting it.
http://www.facebook.com/jacquelinelaurita?ref=ts&fref=ts
Why do we need to read her facebook when we can see it on twitter?
Facebook comment responses clearly refute this blog.
She has around 200 comments.. That doesnt equal helping the world understand AUTISM. She has delt with Autisim for 1 year and now shes an expert.. oh, and thats in between her turetts tweets in regards to Teresa Giudice. She has proven herself to be unstable and child like which is exactly what she wanted in order to get herself out of the bankrupcy FEDERAL FRAUD charges that she’s facing.. If there are 200 Facebook people who are ignorant enough to applaud this whackos CRAZY tweets then i feel sorry for those 200 people!
Facebook comments from a lying pig. Who cares?
It looks like you care, you obviously talking about her, so you care crazy fan LOL.
Well. You sure got me there.
Facebook comments can be deleted if they’re not agreeable.
Lol
Munchausen? Idk people typically wait until their child is responding to specific treatments until they start going on and on and on giving advice. Maybe years in the child’s education and therapy. It’s like she’s using the autism to seek attention and sympathy. Yeah I went there.
Oh my god your disgusting . Of course you won’t post this. But you’ll read it. Good enough for me. Worst parent on bravo? You obviously have a major problem with jaq. His about Taylor Armstrong ? Think she’s a better mommy? Maybe Vicki is? Noooo moron Teresa is!!!!!! Yeah jac acts like she’s the spokeswoman for autism so what? That’s how she’s dealing . She doesn’t even come close yo the abuse Taylor and Teresa put their children through and the way you write is sickening . Somewhere what you wrote has already come back to you. Remember what I said . Your judgement will kick your ass.
And somehow, it is ok for you to judge Tamara??? And it’s YOU’RE. As in “you’re a moron. “
Interesting that you can attack someone for having different views than yourself. However we both know if this story was about Teresa Giudice you would be all up in it defending the Author. In fact, youre angry that its not about Teresa…hence.. calling Teresa a bad mother in your comment on a blog that has SHIT gto do with Teresa. Teresa doesnt make Jac tweet crazy crap all day long. amazing!
Get over you’re obsession with TreApe already!!
Wow you really spoke your mind there, but I agree with you 100%. A spade is a spade.
“I can’t take it anymore”. Oh boo fucking hoo. Cry me a river. You criticise Jac, saying it is all about her when you yourself start your post with that statement. It isn’t about you Tamara. Who cares what you can or can’t take as you are no-one to her. You don’t even have a child with Autism.
Do you think she starts her day thinking “I better not upset some crazy blogger?”. I seriously doubt it.
You argue she should shut up, leave the show and focus on her son. What makes you think that parents of Autistic children don’t have a life or other interests outside their own children? Should we all stop working and become hermits?
Does being the parent of an Autistic child disqualify you from having an opinion? Because all I hear from you and your haters is that she should shut up and look after her child. You are using Autism as a way to silence her and to diminish anything she does.
All parents of Autistic children have something of value to say regardless of where they are on their journey.
You don’t have to like Jac and like all of us she is far from perfect. But your attack on her is over the top. You seem obsessed with her to the point of taking it personally. That you would write a blog starting with “Dear Jacqueline”… is delusional because you seem to think you’ll get thoughts matter. You are probably not even a little dot on her radar.
Excellent comment Syndey.
How true bloggers think thie opinion matters so much…love how Tamara thinks everyone thinks like her. Quite the opposite…Jacqueline and her son Nicolas have touched many hearts. Too bad Tamara had to write such a hateful blog. Oh well at least the Teresa fans flooded her blog with great comments. I suppose this makes up for the Gia video blog….oh how quickly Teresa fans forget.
GO JACQUELINE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING….
How true commenters think thie opinion matters so much
Whatever that means. Heh.
SydneyGirl and Lolag, ITA with both your comments. I think this is one of the ways Jac is dealing with the diagnosis. Although her son was diagnosed a year ago she has only gone public with the diagnosis about 3 month’s ago. I’ve seen countless comments on fb and twitter in support of what she is doing to bring awareness to autism. I think she is an excellent mother and will always to the best that she can by her children.
U know Jacqueline blocks and deletes negative comments…lol of course they will all be positive. I don’t get how a woman with such a full life has the time to go thru and block everyone that hasn’t commented to her liking. Something has to be getting neglected in her personal life, because she can’t juggle 24hr social networking and full time mother/wife/celeb. Even Caroline has more to do than sit and monitor social networking.
Thats hilarious lolag… as you type your hateful comments on a blog that you dont like…. You make yourself look ignorant with your crazy posts
Thank u for saying what so many of us are thinking. Only idiotic, juvenile star f!ckers would take this fat neck woman seriously. I’ve always thought she was “special”.
Hope Tamara is proud of herself…this blog encourage such hateful comments…fat neck and special…wow
OMG, lolag give it a rest.
Tamara posted a blog of her opinions. What do you really care? Why do you feel you have to go at every blogger that writes what you consider a ” hateful blog” about Jacqueline?
I have seen your comments about Teresa, her children and her marriage, so really I would not be calling anyone out for ” hateful comments’.
Her neck IS fat. And she has no chin. How is that hateful? Saying she is special is beyond true. You are the one who defined special.
lolag you write way worse things on your favorite blog. Youre only angry because this blogger dared to have a different opinion then you.
lolag just as others have negative opinions about Teresa so do they apparently about Jaqueline also. Have you ever encouraged hateful opinions of a housewife? Did you believe you were justified?
I respect that Tamra responded to what’s happening.
Jaqueline really needs to invest more time in her children and respect their privacy.
do u have the titled spelt wrong? JaCqueline?
Surprised it doesn’t JACKO WACKO?
You’re probably surprised evertime the clown pops out of the box when you turn the crank, too.
lmao at the clown crank box.. hilarious!
Jac knew abt Nick 1 1/2 yr ago & wasnt twtn Anything abt Autism. For yr & ahalf she has NONstop twted day & all nite drunken rants abt Everything except Autism..Now that she decided to put it out there she’s NOW researching?? Year&ahalf later? Like this just happened?! Sorry to say but JAC IS USING THIS AUTISM NOW as a way to gain sympathy to stay on that damn show..sure she loves her kids BUT shes known abt Nic 4 last 1 1/2yr! It’s utter Bullshit like shes JUST NOW researching-beauty tips-Teresa bashing-type-by DM’s then unfollows so 1 canNOT reply ALWAYS abt Teresa.. the woman needs help!! I feel sorry for her kids & Chris!! Jac’s a phony & should NOT represent Autism..shes using it year later for HER story line on show!! Should’ve done it then back then seeing as they’re putting Nicks medical issues out there!!!
She’s like Paula Deen. She knew she was diabetic for years. She kept it a secret shame until she could use it to her benefit by endorsing a drug. Jaqula is benefitting now from the sympathy. If the did not have this to hide behind, she’d have no storyline besides stirring shit and backstabbing her best friend. An I’d not be surprise to find that she will somehow make money or getvfree treatment from the autism thing.
Tamara. Thank you. THANK YOU!! Bitch interact with your child!! Watch what he’s eating!!!!! Get off of twitter crying about Teresa!!! Her kids don’t have any disorders that we know of so far!! WTF is your problem!!?? & while you’re at it Jaq stop doing these autism events which will probably contribute $500 out of $20k raised & focus on ur child u fool!!!
Wow, looks like all the Jacqueline obsessives from Reality Tea traveled over here to defend their leader. This may blow your mind, but not everyone who dislikes Jacqueline is a Teresa fan. Shocking, I know. I think Teresa’s pretty crazy, but Jacqueline is by no means perfect. She’s done some seriously shady stuff too. Do I think she’s the worst Bravo parent? No. But it’s a little weird that she rants and raves cruel things about Teresa, then 1/2 sec later is talking about Autism. It does lead people to question whether she hides behind Autism advocacy so she’s not called out on her behavior.
I also think it’s funny how the Jacqueline obsessives think its ok to call Teresa names, but if you do it to Jacqueline, they come on your blog or twitter TL and rant. What a double standard.
Not only does she tweet constantly, she direct messages EVERYONE. And didn’t she say she spends about 2 hours very morning on the phone with Kim d? Yet she ships her baby off to “school” each day? If you dont have to work, don’t you want to keep your babes home a long as possble?? Yeah. She is horrid.
That’s the damn truth. Jacqueline comes across as a jilted lover of Teresa; and the Facebook comments reaffirms my opinion. I don’t understand Jacqueline’s obsession with Teresa. Isn’t Jacqueline AND her husband AND his brother involved in a lawsuit and bankruptcy. She skirted that issue by bringing up Teresa, but Teresa is having her bankruptcy removed and working making money hand over fist; whole this bitch is getting judgements against her, on the hook for jail for fraud (she shouldn’t be wishing jail on anyone, I mean really), and tweeting for free. On top of that, her first baby daddy is on the hook for jail for arson. I don’t think that she’s a good parent. During season 3, people publicly wondered why Nicholas was never around, and when he was around why it seemed like Audriana was moving ahead of him. Jacqueline had a chase to build a bandwagon and jump on it then, no she just skirted the issue then. In my opinion, it seemed to me like she was ashamed of him. Now that it’s the “it thing” she can’t stop tweeting about autism? That’s trash if I’ve ever heard it. Autism, sadly is not the only child ailment out there, it’s not the worst, and she is not enlightening anyone about the illness with her constant tweets. As I said before, I can understand doing charity work, and maybe a scientific article here and there, but damn bitch, no mother of a spe ial needs child spend that much time on twitter. Now I hear that her kid hasn’t been diagnosed by experts (which asserts my first opinion that he’s not speaking to her because she’s not present). I don’t understand her at all. And then she got pissed and angry and did an interview about Teresa not reaching out to her (which was later proved to be a lie). LMAO, Teresa doesn’t have a treatment plan or a cure for autism. Her reaching out is as helpful as the devil reaching out. Now I see why Teresa feels bad for Ashlee and doesnt agree with Jacqueline’s parenting style. If Jacqueline isn’t the worst parent in Bravo, is for damn sure the dumbest.
He goes to a school during the week where they do intensive ABA therapy. It is part of his early intervention. So your comment he should be home with Jax is null and void. Not such an expert are you. Lol
I don’t see how listening to Swedish music could possibly help him.
ABA programs that I am familiar with require the child to go to eight hour days of extensive behavioral modification therapy. Forty Hours A WEEK. Sadly, the fact that Nick is in ABA (and away from his family for most of his waking hours) would lend itself to Nick’s situation being very profound. For me, if it were my child, I would have had to have tried lots of things, like dietary changes to begin with, which is insanely time consuming for the caregiver, and some other approaches first. It would be hard for my kid who is what three years old now? To be gone 40 hours a week missing out on all the bonding, etc. It is a very sad situation.
The whole reunion drama was in unspeakably bad taste with the “I love you” thing. Two days after the reunion Jaq was saying he was saying it again. I assume to his ABA therapist, with whom he spends all his time.
That’s ABBA you evil dense woman!

TC, (sigh), at least Tamara’s reply below yours is more intelligent and thoughtful.
Tamara, I am ABA trained. Many parents take the courses as well as they are very expensive. It is full time 24/7 using those methods. Some do full time ABA at home, some attend centres. Even is the ABA is at home, normally a therapist will use a dedicated room as their workspace. The parents may/may not be involved.
It would be very hard to be away from a 3 year old for that amount of hours. However the benefits do outweigh those concerns. I agree it is sad as it is hard on everyone.
Dietary and Biomedical approaches can be used in conjunction with ABA therapies or similar. However not all children respond to a Gluten/Cassein free diet. Doing dietary alone can sometimes be a mistake as it is crucial to get the child involved in therapy asap. Most Autism experts agree that Early Intervention is absolutely crucial.
In my own experience, it didn’t affect bonding at all. I can see why people would worry but many neurotypical (non ASD) children are placed in childcare centres by their parents with no ill effects.
As for the “I love you”. I understand the confusion. Sometimes the Autistic child may mean it, but another possibility is that the child learns it through ROTE learning. Meaning they have been taught to respond “I love you” when it is said to them by a parent. So they may not understand it, but they know that is the correct and expected response. Or it could be spontaneous and heartfelt as it depends on the child. In Nic’s case, only the parents and therapist would know.
I would think the timeline between Nic stopping saying “I love you” and starting again would be more substantial than shown on TV. If not, then it still varies between children how quickly the respond to therapy.
There is no single approach that parents must take but I have seen parents who hold back their children from intensive early intervention have greater difficulties later on.
Just like with other childhood disabilities, it’s up to the parents to decide the best course of treatment. ABA is a successful option particularly in the most profound cases. I haven’t seen enough of Nick to make any sort of assessment, obviously. I am not trained in ABA but have experience with autism. If I were in Jaq’s situation, I would have gone with the dietary changes first. To me, and I know this sounds terrible, but if it were me, I would train to be be the ABA certified person (and for all I know she is taking a course on twitter) if I decided to go that route rather than “shipping him off” everyday. I just couldn’t do it. Not so young.
Which is why I lose patience with her so much. I liked her, as much as I like any of the RHONJ, but this autism thing coming out after her spending the past year and a half tearing up twitter with anger toward Tre, rather than spending her time parenting….it’s sad and it makes me angry. She doesn’t need to be on twitter, she doesn’t need to be a spokesmodel for autism, she needs to be a full-time parent.
It’s just that simple.
And I disagree with TC, listening to some ABBA could not possibly hurt.
Do you hear the drums Fernando???
I was extremely bored today. Had some time to kill, decided to go through the archives.
Came across this post, and more importantly the last few comments.
In April of this year, my 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Autism. She is currently on a one year waiting list for ABA therapy. Something that I know nothing about.
Anyway….I this was an interesting read. Especially about changing diet to a possible gluten free. I am going to do my research, because honestly, waiting a year for therapy seems does not seem very productive. There has to be something more I can be doing.
such venom and hostility directed to people nobody personally knows…scary
Why is that scary to you?
What a bunch of bullies! If she didn’t talk about Autism and her son, you would accuse her of being ashamed or embarrassed. She is on reality tv…this is a perfect platform for talking about it. No parent is perfect, if you think you are you have issues! Back off and leave her alone. Because she is on twitter does not mean she isn’t taking care of her family! What about Teresa….never home, public appearances, twitter, etc…., she has 4 young girls at home. Double standards! You are a bunch of mean girls. Writing blogs and commenting…do you have kids you should be watching?!
With all due respect, why did you take the time to first find this site, read, then leave this comment, pretty much knowing that it wasn’t going to change anyone’s mind? I seriously don’t mean anything sneaky or catty in asking this; I am genuinely curious.
Seriously, for a yr & half AFTER KNOWING Nick has Autism for that time she sat day& nite Drunk twtn abt everything & craz rants except Autism..if she was as obsessed abt Autism as shes been abt Teresas life wow what she could’ve learned these last 2 yrs!! oh thats right she was upset Teresa wouldnt SHARE HER LIFE yet now claims she knows so much!! Really Jac?? Jac needs help SINCERELY!!!
I just put her on my twitter radar to see what you were referring to because even though I watch the housewives shows, I can’t really tolerate any of their twitter accounts. Too vapid. Anyway, I see what you mean. She seems so desperate for attention. And really, who in their real life sits with their children and their phone handy to update every few minutes. It’s beyond ridiculous. An intervention is in order. She is so happy she has autism to glom onto because she feels it makes her relevant. How sad.
You know, above all, every time I read here about anything Bravo, I keep going back to the early nineties, when I leased my first house here in Dallas, had the cable hooked up, then discovered that I had a new channel called Bravo, and I saw for the first time ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’, starring Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, and Sidney Poitier. I was glued to that channel and all the classic movies and fine arts programming it offered. About a year later, I met my future husband, we moved to a different area, didn’t get Bravo for years, then when it became available again, I subscribe, hoping to see the former classics, and instead see Andy Cohen hosting pretty much the dumbing down of all things most women shoiuldn’t be proud of. Yet here we all are, watching, sometimes obsessively. I know that ballet and Shakespeare can be as boring as a box of hair, but holy shit! How’d we go from Katherine Hepburn to Shotskis? Still, I’m a hyprocrite because I have never looked for, nor ever realliy want to visit a blog dedicated to Inside the Actor’s Studio;)
OMG at Earnest Angley!! Lol! Blast from the past!!
Earnest Angsley was the best reality TV we had back in the olden days. 🙂
Tamara, I like your blog and check it every day, it is my guilty pleasure at work.
But if I am being honest, some of your above comments are bothersome to me. And until you are a parent and are put into the million scenarios that come up that a childless women never has to face you can say I would do this all you want. But the truth is you have no idea what you would do until put in that spot. I was so sure and set in my convictions and look back at how judgmental I would be of other mothers (all while childless myself) that I am horrified as a women and now mother that I thought that way.
My 3 year old spends 40 hours a week at preschool, actually closer to 45 hours since I have to drop her off at 8:30 and don’t pick her up until 5:15, do I feel guilty yes, do I wish I could be home with her, yes, is it more important to make sure she has a roof over her head, yes! Would it be any different if I was home and sent her off to get intensive therapy for the same 40 hours? Is it somehow ok that my 3 year old is in preschool because I work, but her son who is in preschool getting intensive therapy should be home with her?
All mothers have faults and feel guilty for the decisions they make, but really until you have children and have walked in those shoes, maybe best not to declare such statements as worst parent on Bravo, heck if I was on Bravo you might consider me the worst parent.
One can make a case for pretty much any of the housewives as worst parent on Bravo, I don’t think she is that special or unique to gain the distinction. One could even say any parent with young child on any of the housewives franchises is by default the worst parent on Bravo at any point in time.
Has anyone tasted the frozen italian meatballs that Teresa is now endorsing on the radio? Was surprised she would endorse frozen italian food.
More surprising is that anyone listens to commercial radio.
Not as surprising as Teresa endorsing frozen Italian food…ps, not all of us are stupid enough to pay for radio.
Who pays for it? And are you calling me stupid if I DO decide to spend my money on radio? Really?? You keep on listening to your little commercials though.
Teresa is endorsing whatever she can to keep her mortgage paid. Not mad at her–remember she was the first of the RHONJ to publically “go bankrupt”…now onto Jaq–what a mess. Never mind the whole Nicholas/Autism issue–look at what has been going on with Ashley all this time..are we supposed to now ignore this now that Nicholas/Autism has come to the forefront? I agree with Tamara..she needs parenting skills–spending time hating on teresa when she clearly needs to get off the bottle and twitter and figure out what happened with her daughter first–and then..her son. Ashley is not just a rebellious teenager–it seems like there are some way bigger issues b/twn her and Jac.
I just came across your blog and I love it! Just wanted to say your are hilarious, and you wrote about of the same things I have thought.
Love the blog. I think it’s spot on. I used to like Jaqueline, even feel sorry for her when it came to her disrespectful daughter. But more and more, I began to feel something wasn’t right with her. After she had her son and her daughter left, all her finance troubles, she became jealous, seething with hatred and bitter and took it out on Teresa. When Teresa kept her family problems as private as possible, Jaqueline made it her lifes mission to expose Teresa’s money, legal and family problems, like there’s no tomorrow. Why? I think cuz Teresa got asked to be on the Apprentice, had best selling books, her own wine, haircare line, when Jaq’s a supposed cosmetician. Jaq had a harder time losing the baby weight, Teresa got her skinny back quick. Teresa’s baby is thriving and healthy, Jaq’s baby has Autism. Teresa has all her kids at home, Jaq’s daughter hated her so bad she left. Teresa filed personal bankruptcy and is making money to pay it back. Jaq’s bankruptcy is way more serious. I think she wanted Teresa to go down, cuz everything Teresa did, no matter how people tried to bring her down, was successful. And that’s my opinion.
I do in spite of myself like Jac… she’s just not very good at parenting and needs some help.
Dear god. I DO NOT WANT TO GET CAUGHT IN THE RHONJ CRAZIES!!!
