Remember when I said that it only took Teresa six minutes on the premiere of RHONJ to say that her marriage is just fabulous? I found that whole talking head terribly out of place because the scene at the time was about Hurricane Sandy. It was like, “I’m gonna donate some of these here old sparkly things I don’t need and by the way, my husband and I are doing fantastic!” I also spilled some exclusive tea back in February about Teresa accusing Albert and Chris and Richard of cheating this season. I actually didn’t spill too much because I am a Caroline fan and I am hoping they don’t show all of this on the new season, but it appears they will. Anyway, Remember back on the last reunion when Jacqueline said that Tre walked in with the nanny? Well…she’s back!
And Tre is defending her man once again.
From Tre’s blog on her website:
I hear you’re trying to get to the bottom of the “mystery girl” Joe had drinks with in April? Here’s a simple idea: show me or Joe the picture and ask us. We could have easily told you it was one of our dear friends and a former employee of both of us that Joe was meeting to talk business. We’ve known her and her family since she was in high school. No secret. No mystery.
Um, Tre? The media identified this mystery girl who is “a close family friend” as Nicole Cemelli back in 2010 when the allegations of Joe having an affair with her first began. No one was confused by who was seen allegedly canoodling with Joe in April. These denials make you look foolish.
I’m also in business meetings and lunches and dinners with people of the opposite sex. Should I send you their photo before we go out so you’re clear on that too? Or will you continue to make up stories about everyone we meet? I have a book signing tonight in Boston–at Brookline Booksmith, 279 Harvard Street. Be sure to come over and photograph me with the 300 or so hot guys I’m sure will be there. I’m in a relationship with ALL of them! I’m just that busy.
Hmmm comments like this make it seem like maybe you don’t care because you have your own side piece. But I’m not sure you really have time for that.
Joe and I are on TV, so I get it that our lives are open for everyone and their mother to criticize. What’s unfair and completely disgusting is that you would drag every person we ever speak to into your fake stories. It’s not acceptable to falsely portray our friends, family, business associates, fans, and even acquaintances this way.
The poor girl in your photo is freaking out now, and rightfully so, because she’s getting harassing calls at her work, being stalked on the Internet, and even followed. How is this even remotely legal? Oh yeah, it’s not.
Wait. I thought you just told the tabloids to call you and you would tell them all about her. Which is it?
You know we have four daughters that are personally hurt every time you print these lies, but that doesn’t seem to faze you at all. Maybe being sued for defamation finally will.
Honey, whoever writes these blogs for you needs to learn what defamation means. Life & Style claims to have pictures of Joe at dinner with the nanny who was fired because of an alleged affair. Either it’s true or it isn’t.
Thoughts?
After watching Gia write Teresa’s text, I wouldn’t be surprised if she writes her blogs too!
You may be right. If not, she probably reads them. She’s a little angry spice.
Ha ha now this is funny ladies. 🙂
No. No it’s not. You morons wouldn’t know funny if it bit you in the cankles.
TeeCee you sound like Andrea.
Yeah TeeCee prefers jokes about children with autism.
I always thought the famous call in the vineyard was really proof he is a cheating rat but for other reasons than the filthy names he called his wife. In the beginning of the call he says “what are you doing” and then said with a juicy male giggle “ohhhhh don’t tell me that”. No straight man ever talks to another man like that. And come on, every time Teresa tries to kiss him, he can’t get away fast enough. He is skeeved out by her.
My take on it exactly!
He’s a dirtball schmuck who cheats and humiliates his family often, and she has a ghost writer from hell. The woman can’t put together a coherent sentence to save her life, let alone move up to 2 or more syllables.
She better watch out, bite the hand that feeds you too many times, her money tree will walk away. Isn’t she paid for her “photo” and opinions??
You know, its HILARIOUS to me that people ACTUALLY think that she writes her own blogs. There is NO WAY she writes them. Does nobody else watch her interviews? Andy practically has to feed her all her answers because she is too stupid to comprehend any word that has more than 4 letters. I can’t stand it when people defend her. How is it normal and OK for her 12 year old daughter to not only be involved in a discussion involving her aunt & mothers problems, but to actually TEXT her and give her mom advice? And please do not even get me started on Milania’s convo w/ her. Good lord, shes a better actress than her mom!!!! CLEARLY coached on that. The whole thing is ridiculous. I met her at a book signing once bc I wanted to see the person off camera …She barely smiled or engaged. When she did, it was a bit awkward and forced. Granted, people have their off days. But some people waited hours to meet her.
Her blog writer last year was Heather. http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2012/10/01/heathers-rhonj-blog-is-up/ not sure if she is still writing them or if someone new is.

Is it unusual in the industry to have a blog writer?
You have a lot of questions. Perhaps you should read some more blogs for the answers.
On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 3:38 PM, Tamara Tattles
Oops! Are you also restricting others from responding.
TT I’m confused. I see many people asking questions on this site. How do you chose which ones to call out??
I dont know if its unusual. I’m not in the industry. But clearly it is, since she continues to deny it.
Thanks Laura.
Hey TT thanks for linking that article, funny stuff. And i must have missed it! Good reading!! 🙂
There is an interview on another blog (considered a tre hugging blog) with heather where she addresses this. I think it’s worth the read if you’re interested.
See. That there is hysterical. You loved her so much that you WENT TO A BOOK SIGNING! But she paid you no mind and you found out you really are NOT part of their lives as you so often fanaticize in your head. So now you HATE her and feel the need to seek revenge by posting bad things about her on blogs? Seek help.
You are a bit delusional. I actually went with my sister who “love, love, loves” Teresa, and I couldn’t wait to see this her interact with her “FANS” including my sister face to face…..it isn’t like I went there to bash the broad….I think it’s HILARIOUS that people (like yourself, from the looks of your comments) get so worked up over it. For gods sake, anyone can be on tv now and be named a “celebrity” ….it’s sick. But in case you haven’t noticed, none of these people are their true selves on television. They wouldn’t get paid so well if they were! Now please go take your Xanax!
So…you pretty much just regurgitated my comment to you back at me. Good job. I do not take Xanax. But if I did, what of it. Why would you make that comment?
These days a script for Xanax is about as common as someone wearing reading glasses. What do i care lady? I dont know you. I love my trashy reality tv, but I don’t think I take it quite as seriously as you do! If going and standing in line with a bunch of crazed Teresa fans is gonna make my sister happy, ill suck that shit up and go. But I’m pretty sure I can comment on the experience? No? If she was friendly, I could report that to you. But mostly the psycho fans creeped her out and you could tell she mostly just wanted to get it over with. It is what it is, and it was hilarious..but you can perceive it however you want 😉
But why would you tell me to go take Xanax? I do not understand that.
By the way, I’m pretty sure some random comment on a blog somewhere on the Internet isn’t, what did you call it? “revenge?”…..a bit much sweetness.
I love Teresa, and I also believe she writes her own blogs. Bring on the scorn! I don’t think she’s stupid-I think she tries to say just enough to answer whatever stupid, personal question is being asked truthfully, without giving away too much. Yes, she’s on a reality show, but we all know those shows aren’t REAL.
Of course she does because someone who uses the words drowndeded and ingredientses will be a better writer than speaker. /sarcasm
of COURSE they would! Everyone has spell check, so the mistakes are OBVIOUS. I correct mine all the time, so I don’t hold it against Tre if she does too.
I know lots of people who’s first language isn’t English, who make mistakes similar to Tre when speaking-and they aren’t dumb. They are just trying to remember the exact word or the exact way to conjugate an unfamiliar verb in their second language. Why does that bother people so much?
We used to be a tolerant nation of immigrants. Now we seem to insist everyone speak perfect English before we will consider them intelligent, or even human! That’s a shame to me. And no matter how she speaks, Teresa never insulted her FRIENDS or her FAMILY, either in public, or in her talking heads-UNTIL she saw that THEY were trash talking HER. I wouldn’t fault her now if she blasted every single one of them, right to their face and on camera for the way they treated her, but Teresa won’t do it out of respect for FAMILY. I think she’s great.
Tre’s first language (if she ever masters it) Is English. Do you not watch the show? She tried helping a kid with Italian and it was equally hysterical. She has tried to change her last name’s pronunciation because Bravo sent her to Italy.
She is dumb as a fence post in any language you would like to speak to her in.
I used to watch the show. I can’t anymore-it’s too ridiculous. But I’m pretty sure Teresa was born in Italy and spoke Italian in the home even after they moved here. Tre speaks a dialect of Italian-as does my mother. There are many words in the dialect that sound nothing like the word used in standard Italian. Personally I think she changed the pronunciation of her name to emphasize her Italian heritage, since she’s writing Italian cook books, but you could be right.
I still don’t think she’s dumb.
Sorry but I am starting to think you are dumb. or at best na
lol I am neither. Trust me, it shocked me to find out I was a Teresa fan. I had never cared one way or the other about her when I started watching the show. I liked Caroline! But, as the show went on, I slowly started realizing that Teresa was not how she was being portrayed. I admit, it’s very easy to misinterpret what she says, because usually she says it wrong, and that gets her in trouble, but I really think she’s a good person.
Yeah ummm she wasn’t born in Italy, she was born in Paterson, NJ. And your reasoning would only be plausible if her siblings spoke the same way but clearly Joe doesn’t have that problem. I’d ask if you’d like to try again but will defer to TT’s take on the matter.
ok. If Joe is your ideal English speaker, I have no reason to defend Teresa any further…
That was the best explanation I have ever heard for the language difference. I speak 7 languages and English is the hardest out there by far. If you do not grow up hearing it daily it is very easy to get confused and think you are saying the right thing when in fact you mangle the word. I once told someone I like vagina ham, it took them an hour to get off the floor, then they tell me I liked VIRGINIA ham. Whatever, I try..
haha I grew up hearing those kinds of things from lots of my relatives! My mother did it all the time, and my grandparents were always hysterical to listen to. English is HARD-but they kept right on trying, God bless them lol. I’m so sad that people make fun of Tre for it..it’s one of the things that makes her feel like family to me. I KNOW Tre because she is like all my relatives in so many ways. It’s why I loved RHONJ the most-it was about women I knew…not for their opulent lifestyle, but for their Italian-ness I guess lol.
Isabella, She DID grow up hearing it every day. Again, she was born in New Jersey. She attended school her entire life in New Jersey. It is NOT her 2nd language. Her Italian is even worse which by yours and Cam’s logic should be fantastic. But again, it’s wrong.
Karma do you hold it against people if they aren’t your idea of perfection?
@ Cami – So since I’ve destroyed your argument you want to make it about me now? I’ll pass.
Welp! You can tell it is RHONJ season around here. 🙂
you did not destroy my argument. You have not changed my mind. How am I making it about you..?
LOL! You forgot about the “Norwegian” .
I think Gia writing the text to Melissa is something she is used to doing. I’d bet Gia has done it hundreds of times for her mother!
Unless my eyes deceive me, there are several posters on here that don’t care for Teresa. Everywhere I go it’s Teresa love, love, love and what a victim she is and how everyone is just so mean to Saint Teresa. BAH! That woman has balls bigger than Joe’s and she is a hell cat. If you say anything contrary to the Teresa love, you will be ganged up on by perfect strangers telling you what’s what. Da-yum! Everyone has an opinion and shouldn’t be dog piled on because you don’t see it their way. I just shut up because it’s a reality show and not worth becoming unhinged over. it’s a little bit scary how invested people are over Teresa and also a bit weird,
I just don’t understand this spell she has cast on the masses.
Oh honey… the Tre huggers will come out. I like Tre, but I do point out that she is off base a lot… so I get it from both sides.
Sigh. Well, this was a nice little respite for as long as it lasts. I am just hoping for a little bit more of an even playing field, but we shall see 🙂
I’m a Tre-hugger, but I’ll never dog pile on you or anyone for feeling different than me. Everyone’s different
I think her appeal is many women identify with her. Not very good with school smarts, got a husband that isn’t faithful and talks rough to them, less than perfect kids, etc. Not good things but too many women see themselves there I think and they go ballistic when you say one slightly negative thing about her.
I like Teresa. I don’t defend everything that she does/says, but I don’t have to. I like that she seems sincere most of the time, you can see her eyes feeling shame, sadness, anger. Of course she dresses tacky sometimes and uses incorrect grammar, they all do. But I like her because she fought back last season, despite having all of them comin at her all the time. I used to like Caroline too, before I saw her call Danielle garbage, then turn around and do similar things with Teresa. I know Danielle was wacky, but it seemed all she really wanted was acceptance. I think Caroline likes to be a ringleader. Maybe this has been karma for Teresa, who once followed Caroline… I hope for Teresa’s sake Joe is not cheating, (although my instinct is that he has and so have the other husbands). But if he is, I will probably just feel sympathy for her, as it’s not her fault.
I agree with everything you said!
I literally slapped myself while reading this.
Tre was born in NJ.
Google it.
From Wikipedia:
Teresa Gorga born:
May 18, 1972 (age 41)
Location: Paterson, New Jersey, U.S.
I don’t like any of them. Not a single one of the Jersey Housewives and that Includes “Saint” Dina from seasons 1 and 2.
can I just ask why people get so angry when chatting with Teresa fans? I am not going to defend her blindly, and I don’t think she is perfect-but yeah, I like her. If YOU like Caroline, I certainly don’t reply to that by telling you that I think she’s a fat, mean, conceited, blowhard who spouts tired bromides when telling people how to live their life-advice that she doesn’t even follow herself-and tell you that you are stupid for liking her. Teresa isn’t my mama, but I really don’t think she’s the root of all evil either!
My bad by the way, her husband was born in Italy, not Tre. She was born here. I stand corrected. 🙂
Idk cammierari. I think Tre is funny and I like her too. But if she does wrong, I can joke about it, like you said, she isn’t my mama so who cares..lol
Hey with the fat comments? Caroline is annoying as hell but a size 6 or 8 on her short frame is far from fat. People kill me with that crap. No wonder so many white women have issues with their body image. Sisters know a little meat on their bones make them look just that sexier to men. A big ass will make a black man run his car into a light pole.
Yeah. And it doesn’t cause heart attacks or diabetes or strokes or anything. Fat black women don’t cost tax payers billions in heath care costs or anything.
And you knwo that how.
Let’s see which one gets you going.
you’re right-shame on me. I completely agree that woman are held to impossible standards, and I am sorry I ‘went there’. In my own defense though, the fat comment was one of a few insults I was listing that I wouldn’t say-but I agree it does sound like I was calling her fat, and for that, I apologize.
Evidently someone needs to learn the difference between meat on their bones and obese! Also I’m pretty sure it’s not just obese black people who are costing the tax payers money. It’s a safe bet that whoever that teecee chick is gets a mental check and that comes straight from my taxes! Well I don’t work but it comes from my husbands taxes!
I don’t get angry when chatting with Teresa fans, then again I’ve never chatted with any. I’ve replied to them in the comments section of a blog post. I have no reason to be angry with anyone, it’s not a personal matter to me. At most I laugh.
Of course you don’t defend her blindly, you did so below quite willingly until someone (me) pointed out the flawed reasoning.
Also, I am unable to find a source to confirm or deny your statement that Joe was born in Italy, though I doubt he was.
When Teresa and Joe went to Italy, they heard how Italians pronounced Giudice. That is when they suddenly decided to change the pronunciation that Teresa still has trouble remembering. Neither of them are fluent in Italian….

He was born in Italy. Teresa’s mom was pregnant with her when they came over. http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/season-2/blogs/teresa-giudice/love-love-loving-italy
Thanks for the link, TeeCee. It predates when I started watching and was unable to find it myself.
I watched season one and part of two in marathon form recently. I was pleasantly reminded why I like Teresa. I think I like the lid her better than the new. Either way, I’m not a hugger or “team”. Generally, I find that people who categorize themselves as these things, whether pro Teresa, Jacqueline, Melissa or Caroline, they are nutbars and you can’t discuss or laugh with them. They have a delusion that they are personally involved. I like Teresa. But she’s a dunce and a mess and in the last few years, a bit overcome by “fame”.
heehee teecee
haha!! Are you serious? You’re aware that this is a reality show we’re talking about right..? Teresa says in one of her cookbooks that Joe was born in Italy-that’s good enough for me. But please feel free to continue to try to find a source to confirm or deny! If I am wrong, I will have NO PROBLEM saying so. I will double check, however, since I’m not in the habit of posting something unless I know it’s true, I’m gonna go ahead and trust that I already double checked it, ok? Yeesh.
And again, you pointed out nada to me in regards to flawed reasoning. Just because I don’t see Teresa the way YOU do, doesn’t prove I’m wrong. Not to me anyway.
And lastly, yes, when I said “chat” with Teresa fans, I of course meant to say commented to them or about them on blogs.
Well thank god you settled that.
oh yeah ps Karma, I don’t follow Teresa blindly-whatever that’s supposed to me. I watch the show, read the blogs, read twitter, and read the news, and make my mind up based on all that. Just like all the other cool kids
You sound slightly off your rocker.
lol nope just slightly baked
Wow you can’t even read other replies or remember what you yourself said. You said you don’t defend her blindly, I agreed that your defense of her wasn’t blind, you did it willingly. All that you said that you do above sounds a bit deranged, might want to see a professional for help.
mmm ok thanks
Tre is Italian old school she is going to stick by her man until the bitter end he walks out. She said in I think season one that she would never leave her husband no matter what. She is not going anywhere!
After reading your excerptsfrom her blog I am wondering who she is addressing. Is it the tabloids? Oh, and it appears from the blog that her daughters read them. WTF? Or is it the Tre huggers who are chasing down the ex nanny for needing around with Joe? You know there is no way an affair could be Joe’s fault, it has to be the evil nanny’s fault. And who does she want to come to her book signing? Doesn’t sound like she wants the huggers there but is goading all her detractors into showing up. All in all I found that blog to be a bit angry, aggressive and,once again, too well written. Also, I just don’t “get” the Tre huggers. So very over the top in defending someone they really do no know and often very aggressively attacking Melissa and her fans. Strangeto me. Btw, I hat the autocorrect on my Kindle and refuse to try to go back and fix them. Sure miss my laptop where at least the fuckups were my own.
For my two cents, I have mixed feelings [don’t want to say emotions] about Tre. I like her, can’t stand her, embarrassed for her and feel sorry for her and I can feel all of that during one program! LOL I think her husband has/is cheating on her and she’s dealing with it in her way. She’s very good a denial, no matter the subject. She just does what she does…fights against lies and sometimes, the truth!
I started out liking Caroline the most but she seems to think she has better advice than anyone which has really begun to annoy me. I think that might come back to bite her in the butt this season with Melissa and Joe G.
