All of the RHONJ blogs are up except for Amber’s and Nicole’s and theirs will probably warrant their own blog. Most everyone agrees that Jim is an idiot but a few of the RHONJ are trying to give Amber the benefit of the doubt. For me the strangest blog is Dina’s. I’m going to need lots of feedback that. In fact I may need an entire interpretation. I can’t be sure about who she is talking about.
I did feel sorry for Amber because she was just in a physical fight and what her husband was saying wasn’t her fault. But I wanted to hear the rumors about what Jim said directly from him. So I asked him. And he lied. Right to my face. That is not what an honorable man does. Dina and I were giving him the benefit of a doubt, trying to be nice to him, and he got even madder and uglier with us. You don’t need to speak to women like that, you don’t need to speak to anyone like that.
Then we got to hear Jim’s little lawyer speech. There are no words. What professional talks like that? I know Amber tries to defend him saying he was protecting her and got dragged into all this, but that amazingness was all said in an interview with him, apart from the fight. No one tricked or forced him into saying those awful things. That was all him.
As I said though, I don’t blame Amber for her husband. Amber has always been very nice and gracious to me. I try and see people for who they are, not who they’re married to. Although her taste in facials does leave a lot to be desired! Bird poop, are you freaking kidding me?
This is how I feel when it comes to Amber. I feel like she came back into my life with so many negative things to say about me and negative feelings. I don’t buy that she just wanted to rekindle our friendship and make me “her friend of the year.” I don’t see her trying to be my friend at all.
Amber wants to act as if I’m not loyal? Well, where is her loyalty to me? Was she being loyal when she came right off the bat saying that I married my husband for money? Is she being loyal when she came on accusing me of being a horrible friend, after not seeing me for close to ten years and accusing me of not being there for her when she had cancer? No, I don’t see that as a friend trying to rekindle a friendship at all. I see it as an old friend coming around to try to throw me under the bus. And there is A LOT you didn’t get to see, so no, I don’t believe Amber has nothing but good intentions.
Amber has also been ranting in her blogs and on Twitter, trying to remind everyone how our family had so many problems and that MUST make me a bad person and somehow prove that she and her husband are justified in their actions. Amber, do me a favor and stay out of my family business. It has nothing to do with you and you don’t know the true details. You were a guest at my wedding ten years ago and never even met my children. So the ONLY things you know about what has been happening in MY life is by watching our show as a fan for the past three seasons.
As far as Amber, Dina, and Teresa going to the spa together right after that all happened… I’m a little confused as to what I saw there too. Amber apologized for her husband right away to Dina and Teresa. But I guess I don’t deserve one? Amber was also so “emotional” and “teary-eyed” when she was explaining to the girls how “hurt” she was that I betrayed her. But when I went to talk to her about everything over lunch, she was acting very pompous, very rude, and was looking to argue. So which is it? Was she just trying to get sympathy from the girls? What are her true feelings? She flips around so much it’s hard to believe anything is real. I feel like I keep meeting her for drinks, for lunches, keep trying to move on with her and she just doesn’t stop. So I needed to let her know that I’m not sure what her agenda is and that I do not trust her.
Now let’s talk about the first responders fall out and what I said to Amber’s husband Jim. At this point in our relationship there was so much sexual talk between us girls that you didn’t get to see. You know chicks get together, open a bottle of wine, and the giggles begin. Amber had shared some of her hysterical stories of shall I say…taking over in the bedroom with us, and I would tease her endlessly.
So calling Jim a bitch and telling Amber to shove it up his ass was COMPLETELY inappropriate but actually more of a joke, because I knew Jim didn’t like it when I teased Amber about their bedroom life. It just went along with what I know would annoy Jim, but it was wrong and I’m sorry. And guess what? If he does, more power to him — a healthy sex life is all about keeping it interesting.
What I said about Melissa pertained to what was going on in this situation. Amber had made it CLEAR to us that Melissa had no remorse for her part in the fight. Other than that, I really don’t know much more about Melissa than what you the viewer have seen. Like I said a million times, she’s always come to my Ladybug events, so for that I like her. What went on between her and Teresa is not my business to discuss. It was brought to my attention that she dropped the bomb and walked away, and I agreed. You will see how things turn out between me and Melissa. But the bright side is it opened the door for Teresa to suggest that she and Amber work through it like they have. We shall see where that goes!
Lastly I want to talk about all the betrayal going on this week. I have to say I do admire TerEsa’s loyalty to her sister Nicole, and it was so refreshing to see Joey Gorga stick up for Joe Giudice. That is how I believe things should be with family and long term friends. I am a FREAK about loyalty and I am loyal as a freakin’ dog until you are not to me. Then guess what? I don’t go out for revenge, I simply cut you out of my life as if you died. I am BAFFLED when I see people put their loyalty where it doesn’t belong. I don’t always agree with what my friends and family do, but I WILL ALWAYS have their backs. That is unless I’ve had a funeral in my head for you because you didn’t have mine.
So Dina has funerals in her head for family members? Really?
As for Melissa giving Nicole a head’s up on the rumor that Amberzilla is spreading… That is not called betrayal, that is called being a girls’ girl and having Nicole’s back. Amber must stop insulting the intelligence of everyone watching, because it is obvious to everyone that she is one BIG habitual liar, and she is constantly back peddling. Also thank you, Melissa, for reiterating what took place that night at the first responders party about how Amber did grab Nicole’s arm first while having dinner with Amber. Amberzilla was the aggressor and Nicole was defending herself — the truth always comes out!
I was surprised at Dina’s blog. That was such an obvious dig at Caroline, Chris & Jaq. I also thought it was interesting that she apologized for the way they treated Danielle.
I love being the person that says: “I told ya so” TT. I said a week or so ago that Dina/Tre would have Amber’s back “for the most part” this season, and here we are seeing them defend her in their blogs. This could definitely change though…
Dina is SO shady to out Amber/Jim’s sex life. Amber recently said she was displeased with some of the things Dina was saying behind her back. She won’t be pleased about this either.
I know what Dina is talking about with her funeral. It’s a strange analogy, but I get it. I think she’s basically hinting at the fact that Melissa isn’t a very loyal person as Tre cleverly hinted at in last week’s blog.
correction, I didn’t mean the funeral thing applied to Melissa. I meant that her overall blog hinted at Melissa not being very loyal.
The funeral comment is obviously about Caroline, and you know how I feel about that. Dina is totes justified.

You have a very strange view of “having someone’s back”

Sorry but I’m on Carolines side here. Dina is so obviously talking about her sister. Caroline would NOT say what happened only that Theresa was involved and that Dina was her sister and families all have issues but they work thru them.
I don’t see Dina as being shady about Marchese’s sex life. It’s obvious. I mentioned yesterday that it looked like Amber was the dominatrix, and kept her cocktail weenie of a husband on all fours with a collar and leash. And I only know what I’ve seen on the show…and on twitter. I meant it as more of a metaphor…but maybe I wasn’t too far off from the truth?
Yeah, but Dina kind of tip toes the line. In one sentence, she says it wasn’t really an insult because of their sex life being discussed with all the girls, but in the next she’s knowingly teasing him about it. Dina was being a bitch, and she only KINDA owns it with this excuse. I still love her though.
Thank you for all the blogs Tamara. I am conflicted with Amber, because she is a cancer survivor – I do have compassion for her – then on the other hand, she was with Jim/James at the time he was going through his snitch part off his life. Which also means she helped Jim/james spend his 1.6 million $ award.
Jim/James attacked the vulnerable cancer patients and Amber was right there..in her own remission of cancer. It must be embarassing or the answer to Amber’s prayers to have a hubbie like Jim/James..his attitude and ignorance always brings me to Amber ..how can she be with this type of human..so technically Jim/James is helping Amber achieve her goal of being a star..
I know there are pics of Jacs/Kathy/Rosie and amber and family partying together but none of Dina/Amber, I didn’t get that Dina was joking with James – it sounded like Dina was angry with James.
Nicole clearly grabbed Amber first..don’t know if Teressa i(sp) is basing this on where she was standing.
All I deduce from this season RHNJ and the newbies..Amber and James dropped Bobby and Nicole like they were infectious diseases- all for fame.
Being a cancer survivor shouldn’t give anyone a free pass to treat others like shit. She should be grateful to be alive, and leave it at that.
What you said! Perfect.
Could we drop the “cancer survivor” bullshit ? EVERYBODY is a survivor of something.
blab that shit to Amber not me- re read my comment..conflicted means I have looked at all the angels of Amber. holy shit!
who was the poster that said they pictured amber in leather with whips and chains, leading him around the bedroom on a dog collar and leash? sounds like they hit the nail on the head!
here is why i think amber didn’t apologize to melissa and had an attitude with her – melissa was hopping around them like a little monkey, going “yep! i told them! it came from me! no wait, i didn’t say she called you a ho, but yes haha everything else was me!” watch it again if you’re interested – she is almost gleeful. i just can’t tell if it is producer driven or melissa came up with that on her own.
I really think Bravo missed the mark casting the twins and Amber. This is not the kind of drama that entertains me.
Dina is kinda awesome though.
Dina coming back was the best thing that could happen to this show. Too bad it didn’t happen sooner due to her family issues with Jac and Caroline!
Yes I agree. I love Dina (wish she spelled it another way as I keep pronouncing it as Die – na in my head when I read it and I’m driving myself nuts!) Dont really know why, but I don’t like the twins.
Like Dinah as in Dinah Shore! Loved that lady. (Why yes, my middle-age is showing!)
Dina and her family dramas. If something were to happen to one of those family members she has already had a funeral for in her head-she will forever regret having written that. What a horrible thing to say. Dina isn’t all that interesting and she is a little vulgar. I always feel like she has rehearsed a set of one liners and plugs them in.
As to Melissa-Melissa telling Nicole was survival. Had she not said anything Amber would have twisted that situation and told the twins Melissa was behind the rumors and the viewers would have never seen the actual tape. Bravo will take their conflicts wherever they can find them.
On one hand Dina is all for keeping private the issues that are discussed among the girls and on the other hand she makes fun of Jim enjoying Amber give it to him up the butt! Something tells me Dina would be mortified if another person discussed her sex life, or lack of one, with Tommy. She is just as much a shit stirrer as the rest of them. Dina just has a way of masking her attack. Her track record in season one speaks for itself. Why damage a person only to think a belated apology sets it right? Didn’t like Dina then and don’t like her now.
Dina shouldn’t have explained her ‘bitch’ comment to Jim. I never would thought her comment was anything more than just giving him some shit.
I like watching Dina because her insults are creative a funny. I don’t know if I like her as a person or not yet, she’s always been hard to read for me, but at least her digs are more entertaining then calling someone “trash”.
I still don’t know what happened between Caroline and Dina.
O I can answer that. Dina wasn’t the center of universe for a minute and it pissed her off.
Caroline and Jac were selfish bitches and chose to let money and fame ruin a relationship with their sister. Did you see Jac’s insane tweets recently threatening Dina?
Caroline is a very sane woman, but being aligned with Jac does her no favors. Dina wins automatically.
Unfortunately, Jim was absolutely correct about one thing : not one of these bitches has an IQ above 5! More disconcerting, (than these staged and bogus cat fights) is that Bravo is giving the Guidices a platform to seek sympathy from viewers for their egregious criminal behavior. Their victims do not have this advantage! Worst of all, they use their daughters to pull at the heart strings of the gullible amongst us. Of course, Melania caused this strategy to backfire big time! She is the living proof of the consequences of dysfunctional parenting and skewed values. Every time she opens her mouth, she puts another nail in her parents’ strategy for eliciting sympathy.
Your heart aches for these girls. The insane antics of a bunch of botoxed Jersey bimbos pales in comparison.
So there will be no discussion of the fact that Dina implied that Amber and Jeff are into pegging?
I made a comment about it but…
Dina likes outing people and then playing the innocent victim. I would suspect that Amber spoke to Dina thinking that since it was girl talk between them that tidbit would be held in confidence. Wrong. Amber needs to review season one. Dina is a twat and a yellow belly. She gets things started, backs off into the bushes and watches while people cannibalize each other. This time the flame flickered out or it was over their heads.
So Amber and Teresa are friends. I am so not surprised. Their husbands have more in common than Jim would like to admit. People that talk the loudest about how great and honest they are…are usually the ones that are the most untrustworthy.
And Teresa….always talking about how people should
not judge them without knowing them. Doesn’t she get it that since all of their criminal behavior is public knowledge, it has given us tons of information on exactly who they are? Not to mention watching, listening and observing them for years on television…has given us so much opportunity to
witness and learn even more about them? Unfortunately I’ve learned more about who they really are than I ever wanted to know.
Didn’t Melissa claim she went on the show to improve her relationship with Teresa and straight out the gate she was complaining about cookies and other crap? This Amber thing seems very similar to what she did three years ago, so her blog has zero weight with me.
I said that earlier on many twitter feeds! Great minds! One would think Amber would have known better as Mel had to change her whole attitude since fans hates her in the beginning!
Amber and Jim will be the next to fall down the fraud slide…just wait!
And is he an actual BAR PASSED lawyer?
nope. allegedly.
Did Bravo cast the Marcheses to take some of the heat off the Guidices? I don’t know who is more repulsive, Amber or Danielle.
That is what I thought as well, but I also think they were brought on to poke at the Giudice’s..cuz James is screaming it at the top of his lungs.
