Amber’s Blog is VERY lengthy this week. I was working on the round-up and decided y’all really need to talk about this one in one place. I have eliminated the religious quotes right before she calls TeRESSA (oddly, she writes that twin’s name exactly the way I do) an special kind of asshole. Amber is a special kind of crazy that is rarely outed in a first season player.
Amber rambled on about The Cancer as if it were her patriotic duty to make the world aware that breast cancer is a disease we may not have been aware of without her enlightenment. This irks me in the same manner that Jacqueline’s discovery of an illness called autism did.
Yes, it must seem that I am really harping on my experience with cancer. At that time it was my five year mark and a very crucial time where there is a possibility of a relapse, and it was greatly weighing on my mind at this point. I was about to do my five year panel of testing to see if I was still healthy and cancer free. This was an extremely hard time and caused a lot of fear and anxiety. Anyone with a serious health condition can relate to this, especially those raising little ones.
About Melissa…
The scene at the clothing store was by far one of hardest scenes to watch so far. I cannot even wrap my head around what I witnessed. We will start with Melissa. Melissa asked me in the car how the marriage ended for Nicole. LET ME REAPEAT THAT: MELISSA ASKED ME WHAT HAPPENED TO NICOLE’S MARRIAGE. I did not offer this information to her. I told her what others have repeatedly told to me. The account I told came to me from the family that Nicole allegedly did this to. I never had this conversation with Nicole. For the record, Nicole and I were never best friends, we knew one another in town, but got closer when Bobby started to date her. Te-RESSA and I never got that close; I was always more distanced from her. I felt like she had a lot of negative energy.
I did let Melissa know that I wasn’t certain whether this story was true or not. Melissa just met these girls only once at my party, yet she could barely even wait until the car was parked before running to the twins and mischaracterizing what I had said. Melissa knew exactly what she was doing and that’s causing trouble. That might be how she rolls, but I want no part of it. Melissa behaved like a child, not like an adult. Our mutual friends warned me about letting her back into our lives. I am still friends with all of them and love them dearly. Melissa feels I changed, well, my friends feel she stayed the same. Melissa loves no one but Melissa and has no ability to be a good, loyal friend. I prayed this was not true, as I try to see the best in us all, but seeing is believing. I am not perfect, so I do expect others to be perfect, but I will not keep vengeful people close to me. My true, close friends are my family. I always try to do what is best for my friends.
Now onto Nicole and Te-RESSA’s reaction — over-the-top, dramatically lame, contrived performance was my first impression. I must remind you, again, that the twins just met Melissa and only one time! The twins decided to tell Melissa that I was talking poorly about Melissa — NOT TRUE. I was candid with Melissa right to Melissa’s face about why I was upset with her for several years. She explained, it was settled, we moved on. The twins just had to negatively interject with that one. Then Te-RESSA tells Melissa my husband Jim thinks he is better than her husband and that he can’t hang out with Joe Giudice because of his legal issues. Since they did not speak to my husband, I can only assume this was Bobby’s second hand, used car selling version and an attempt to be cool with the Joes and Rino. I saw the episode, and the story spun by the twins and Bobby was not an accurate representation of Jim’s comments.
Furthermore, what does that have to do with me!? I am my own person, Jim is his own person. Again, what were they trying to accomplish by saying all of this to Melissa? There is nothing honorable about these actions. They are spiteful, petty, and downright deceitful. Seems like Bobby, Jim’s “best friend,” was a busy bee behind the scenes telling Rino, Te-RESSA, and Nicole exaggerated lies of why Jim did not want to go bowling and drink with people he does not know. The story the twins and Bobby told about Jim is about as real as the “necklace” Bobby supposedly gave Nicole for Christmas.
Jim only knew what he read in the papers. My husband had never met Joe Giudice and he knew Joe Gorga had been involved in fights before. So Jim’s initial reaction was to keep a distance, because he does want to be around that kind of stupidity. To Jim, physically fighting puts his family in harm’s way, and Jim will do anything to protect us. Jim did not think adding alcohol and late night bowling in NY was the best formula given the history. He would have preferred a less volatile situation, maybe a quiet dinner to get to know them. That is his choice, and I have to respect it. For viewers of last season, didn’t Joe Gorga and Joe Guidice get into a fight over calling Teresa a nasty name?
One final thought I want all of you to know about Nicole’s over-the-top reaction. This was NOT Nicole’s first time hearing this rumor. It was not the first time, because I had let her know that I had heard this rumor before. So this running out of the store with the unpurchased items still on their back, driving to my home to confront me is just bizarre. Didn’t Nicole ever hear of the telephone? The telephone is “new” technology and it works quite well. Again, hmm…and I wonder, when someone has this over-the-top reaction, doesn’t that mean the allegations are typically TRUE?
I think everyone should know about Bobby and his lies. This was definitely the hardest part to watch as he and my husband have been friends for years. Take into consideration that Bobby came to our home, played with our children, and then took a conversation out of context to look cool. Bobby is such a follower, he would do anything to be part of what he thinks is the “cool crowd.” A good friend would have said, “Jim has to work tomorrow early and sends his regards,” but that would assume Bobby had class. At the bowling alley you can imagine what Bobby told Rino. When asked why my husband was not there, Rino was so excited to tell his “new friends” what Bobby had told him. Rino said, “Do you want a lie or the truth?” Well the truth hurts. My husband does not need to buy a ticket to hang out with Joe Gorga. He stays away from adults who behave like juveniles.
Yea, when they flashed back to be part where Amber told Melissa the rumors.. Amber specifically said that’s what she heard and then repeated it again by saying “word on the street”.. Amber didn’t make a Forster statement about it or say Nicole told me .. Blah blah blah. Melissa is horrible.
But, those twins were supposedly her friends. Why would you spread rumors about a friend – even a casual friend? From what I see, I’d say that this Marchese woman is a POS. Don’t we have enough of those on these HW shows? Why can’t Bravo bring on some interesting women? These attention-starved HWs are annoying and such a bore.
I can’t wait to watch this Amber bitch self-destruct…
She contradicted herself because in the beginning of the blog she says she never told Nicole about the so called rumor – then at the end of the blog she says she did confide in Nicole? Does she proofread or think we are all stupid??
She did – she’s not a very good liar. Conisistency is key!
I am not fond of Melissa at all, but Amber clearly came on the show targeting her, so she should’ve expected Melissa would fight back in some way. This is that way.
Melissa would know how to deal with someone from your past coming onto a show gunning for you given its exactly how she got on the show in the first place.
Even though Melissa did ask Amber what happened in Nicole’s marriage, for Amber to reply on camera was the biggest rookie move one could make on reality TV! Duh! Hook, line, and sinker dude! Same goes for Jim. Amateurs.
She so contradicts herself in that blog. It’s not even worth pointing out where and how because it gives me a headache how dumb she is. And does she realize that we saw exactly what her husband said? And that the Joes were going to see it eventually? Bobby was supposed to lie for Jim? And when the show aired, then Bobby would be a liar? She’s nuts.
Yes! And after trashing her “friend,” she goes on to tear down the guy that she calls her husband’s “best friend.”
Sadly, I just don’t care anymore. This used to be my favorite franchise. The first year was the best and it’s gone downhill every year since, IMHO. I don’t even watch anymore, I just read Tamara’s blogs and all of your entertaining comments.
Oh and the necklace thing? Who cares? Maybe he has no money. If he bought something he couldn’t afford like the Joes, that would be worse.
Why would anyone going through “an extremely hard time and [] a lot of fear and anxiety” with ever-so-precious youngins to raise put themselves on such a negative show in the first place? What a thirsty and manipulative woman.
Amber is a humongous shade tree. Talk about petty and juvenile…the comment about the necklace, thank you for putting it in bold font to underscore and make absolutely clear what a monumental beeyotch you are.
Amber’s blog exhausts me….
Me too. That is why I had to pull it out of the round up. To be honest, I am not sure I even read it all…

I think Amber isn’t very smart and her husband is a total DB whose own hands are unclean in the dirty mortgage business (google him). As for Melissa, YUCK. The twins annoy me and remind me of my own older sisters who are twins. I still like Dina and I really enjoy the humble side of the Guidices these days. Anything is better than the last two seasons of NJ.
When I see the word necklace in quotes my first thought is drug lords/tyrants and how they deal with enemies. Admittedly that scared me for a moment in Amber’s blog and I was relieved to see the infighting had not reached new heights, at least not this season.
It is not my intention to be particularly mean but upon closer inspection of Amber’s photo, doesn’t she look a bit ummm manly?
