It’s almost time for the Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion. Today, Bravo released a clip and it looks like a doozy.
But before we get to all that, let’s review the last reunion in November of 2014. At the time, Teresa was blaming her sentence on her brother Joe and her sister-in-law Melissa.
Here is what I posted in my post on Part Two of that reunion:
We go straight in to Teresa and how she has changed as a person over the six season she has been on. Teresa looks so much younger in 2008. Teresa says she has definitely changed for the better. She doesn’t worry about petty things anymore and focuses on what is important. Cut to tight shot of Melissa trying to keep a respectable, face and not roll her eyes. You can see the effort. Andy asks if her values have changed. She says, “Everything, yes.” Cut to TereSSa turning her head and letting out a deep sigh.
Tre says she came on the show just to have fun and look where she is now. Andy asks if she blames the show. She says not the show but a lot of people who came on the show came on just to hurt them. Some were housewives and others just came to parties, but the all started a lot of trouble. I guess those trouble makers cause her to commit 41 counts of fraud. They sound like real assholes. They show a clip of Danielle season two talking about the house she lived in before they moved into the mansion. Danielle accused them then of being in foreclosure. Next, a clip from season 3 with Kim G. Then season 4 where Teresa tells Jac that if she was going to jail, she is sure she would know about it. Then,Teresa laughing in a talking head about going to jail. Tre says to the others to be careful because people come on the show to try to hurt them.
At the that reunion Teresa was not speaking to Joe or Melissa. She seemed to blame her prison sentence on those two being on the show. Also, they had their own shady deals going on and they weren’t going to prison. Teresa thought it just wasn’t fair. I also did a post about any involvement Melissa and Joe had in Joe and Teresa getting prison time. Of course the answer was no. But as recently as October of 2015, Joe Giudice was blaming Joe Gorga on WWHL.
Next, Teresa blamed the bankruptcy lawyer. This is also not based in reality. As I previously posted, a few years before Joe Giudice and Teresa filed for bankruptcy, Joe’s younger brother, Pete, had a successful bankruptcy. At the time, it was the biggest in his area. His slate was successfully wiped clean. A TamaraTattles source believes that the Giudices may have seen the potential of wealth from Teresa’s celebrity status and wanted a clean slate too.
According to the bankruptcy lawyer that is being sued, the Giudices were given standard forms which they filled out. The forms request tax documentation. Joe and Teresa signed forms stating that the tax forms they submitted to the bankruptcy courts were correct. They were forged. The standard procedure is for the bankruptcy court to check with the IRS. The IRS reported back with the information that they had not filed for ten years. CLICK HERE to see all of the IRS documents and W2s they falsified. Teresa was unemployed at this time and gave a variety of false jobs with fake W2s to numerous banks. They did not just “sign the forms they were given” as Joe likes to say. They made up jobs they didn’t have and falsified W2s to show the jobs existed and then signed those forms and gave them to the banks.
And now, on the upcoming reunion, Teresa blames Jac Laurita and Caroline Manzo for her imprisonment, The stupidest thing about this is, that Jac and Caroline can’t put anyone in prison. So essentially what Teresa is (in my opinion, falsely) accusing these two of is tipping off the Feds. In Teresa’s tiny ape brain, if you steal millions of dollars and someone tells on you, it’s the snitch fault you are in prison and your actions had nothing to do with it.
Here is a peek of what we will see in two weeks. Thank GAWD it’s only a two part reunion.
This has been one situation that has irked me beyond anything ever. I think I may either not watch, or double my xanax. To even have her have a platform to talk bugs the shit out of me!!! I thought some form of punishment she would suffer, but guess not.
I’m starting to wonder where Teresa’s lawyer is? First the Trump comments, now this, I don’t think Jim Leonard would have advised that she make these statements.
You mean Teresa’s future husband? The rosy red cheeked lawyer….LOL…
She and Joe are lying liars who lie. I cannot STAND watching people spew bullshit you know is completely false, and she KNOWS it’s false. So does Joe. Like a FOOL I used to think Tre was delightfully batty (prior to all this) and even bought her first cookbook. I threw it in the garbage several seasons ago. I refuse to watch RHONJ anymore. My husband and I have worked very hard for every dime we’ve ever had and those two still live in an enormous house with things like 5 winter coats and ATVS. I’ve been wearing (and repairing) the same winter coat for 6 seasons now. Why do they still live in the lap of luxury after all this??? WHY?
go to your local goodwill and get yourself a new (to you) winter coat! I have been shopping second hand stores and yard sales for years now, and you can get some wonderful deals!
Ok, if you’re wearing the same winter coat and repairing it, and it’s not a hunting jacket, you have some issues. What are you, homeless? Jesus girl. I don’t stand for Teresa and her excess, but there’s going from the sublime to the ridiculous…
“I can’t stand Donald Trump, with his big mansions and towers. I’ve been living in the same cardboard box in the park for ten years and…”
The problem in this story, for once, is not Donald Trump. You understand, right? #context
Oh Land, Mark, STFU. You know zippy zap about my life or why I might have reason to repair and rewear the same winter coat for several seasons. Or anyone else for that matter. People have expenses. And shit that comes up and often have to make do or put themselves at the bottom of the list over and over and over. My point was that for a woman who pleaded guilty to felonies and fraud and filed BANKRUPTCY she has SHIT LOADS MORE STUFF than I do who has never so much as skipped out on a library fine. When you have to decide between fixing AGAIN the furnace or buying yourself a coat you come right back here and mock me for it. We cool?
That’s so heavily edited…who knows if what she says about Jac and Caroline is tied to anything about prison. I hate when Bravo does that because then the real show is anti-climatic.
I stopped watching RHOC because I couldn’t stand Tamra and I think I’m tapping out of this shit show due to Teresa. I can’t in good conscience support such vile people.
What ever happened to laughter? I just want to watch snarky rich women do stupid crap in settings I can’t afford. These shows are all filled with poseurs trying to sell us crap products and eviscerate one another. It’s just not entertaining.
The first two sentences of your second paragraph are SPOT ON, Toni. I want a Goat Rodeo and they’re giving me Shit Shows.
Yes, you said it SLM! Bring back the goat rodeo, enough with the hate and vitriol on every franchise.
Toni – I tapped out for this entire season of NJ and it has been so freaking peaceful on Sundays. Drink some wine, light some candles, watch How to get away with Murder on demand because it conflicts with Project Runway. Zen.
Briefly the Miami group was kind of like you describe and then poof, it went loco too.
Teresa and Vicki are two peas in a pod. Teresa and Joe started this fraud business in 2001. She is only sorry she got caught and digging her own grave in popularity by blaming others.
Poor Teresa why can’t Jacqueline just leave the convict alone! She served her time, why does this prison sentence need to be brought up all the time. Jacqueline isn’t an angel either, lord knows where the little Kernel charity money is really going.
I think it would be easier for everyone to move on if we had some evidence that she is at least trying to pay back the people she and Joe stole from and if she would actually admit that she has committed crimes and is sorry. No more excuses – accountability.
Bingo, that’s all it would take. It certainly would calm my butt down 🙂
It’s amazing that Teresa served 11 months in a Federal Prison and still no one can hold her accountable. Can anyone credibly imagine Jacqueline Laurita tipping off the IRS that Joe hadn’t paid his taxes for 4-5 years? Or that Caroline Manzo let the Feds know that Teresa was hiding income related to her shore house and Fabulicious web site? If people are going to coddle and play along, I wish they would at least shade her.
By shade, I mean “She’s not smart enough to grasp her criminal past” type of comments
Maybe there is something to this. Maybe they turned on Tre to get themselves out of hot water. Who the Hell knows? However, it would not have meant a think had Tre and Juicy Joe not committed the crimes.
EDITED TO REMOVE POST.
TONS OF FACTUAL INCORRECT INFORMATION. SHIT TONS.
PLEASE STOP POSTING STUFF YOU READ SOMEWHERE ELSE OR THINGS YOU THINK YOU REMEMEBER READING. JUST STOP.
EDITED TO POINT OUT THAT THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE PREVIOUS COMMENT WERE UNTRUE REGARDING WHO REPRESENTED JOE’S PARTNER.
Not that Teresa shouldn’t point the finger at herself too. She and her husband were the ones who committed fraud. TT’s right. How the fuck did she think she and her husband could get away with lying about their employment situation? Did she really think the IRS wouldn’t check?!!! Who takes chances like that?
Respectfully, I don’t buy it Mary. It’s just more deflection on Teresa’s part. She just shifts the blame from one person to another. Everyone must take a turn in the blame game except for….Teresa and Joe. Amazingly they are only one’s who are blameless.
she really things she is innocent , she should sue a fed,
she really has a a tiny ape brain , maybe she should get advice from her girls
OMG EDITED BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WAS SAID BEFORE. DRAMA.
Slice – that’s exactly what I was saying. If Jac, or anyone else had pointed fingers at innocent parties, nothing would have come of it. The fact that Tre and Joe are felons is on them, no one else.
SLIM, I hear ya but Teresa having just 5 winter coats. Starting with that chinchilla coat from years ago to now, I think I have seen upwards of 20 or so. Every season she has more. Truly sickening to see her still posing in designer clothes and shoes. Dont even get me started on the ATV’s, new Lexus, the gaudy mansion etc.
I remember watching a documentary about Billy and June Graham. In it they talked about how Johnny & June Cash tried to give June Graham a mink coat as a gift. June politely refused the gift because it would have looked all kinds of wrong for a preacher’s wife to parade around in obviously expensive clothes. If only Teresa had a fraction of June Graham’s circumspection!
You’re allowed to have coats, Minky. It’s a thing. It’s actually quite common. Lexus’ (Lexuses? Lexii?) not so much.
LOL somehow, and I don’t know how Minky, but somehow I just knew you watched oddball documentaries. Me too.
It’s Ruth Graham.
Thanks JoJo. Even when I wrote it I had a feeling it wasn’t “June”, but I was to lazy to look it up.
And I love weird documentaries Wonky!!! When I used to be a real TV watcher that’s what I’d gravitate to the most. Weird documentaries, South Park, The Twilight Zone, good cooking shows, good old TV shows, etc. And I used to love the Discovery and History channel when they’d actually show good stuff, like shows about ancient Egypt or Stone Hendge, and actual history shows. Not those fake homesteaders and the two bit pawn brokers. TV has totally gone downhill.
There’s actually an episode of South Park that lampoons the Jersey women. It’s soooo good! I really need to re-watch that one.
I LOVE those kinds of documentaries Minky. Did you ever watch the one titled STONEHENGE EMPIRE on the Smithsonian Channel? That’s one of my favorites.
I’m dating myself here but anyone remember clips of Nixon bragging about his wife Pat’s, Red cloth coat? I’m 52 but I remember seeing clips when I was growing up. Lol.
I’m gonna have to check that out SLM. I haven’t watched a good one in a long ass time.
You are welcome Minky! My husband actually grew up with Franklin and his parents were very close to Billy and Ruth is the only reason I know.
SLM, sorry.
I will welcoming being called SLIM any day of the week Margaret, so feel free to keep doing so 😉
i think i’m ready to give up on Jersey because there is NO ONE to root for. i equally dislike them all. well, maybe Dolores comes out on top by default. while, i’m sure we’re all glad that this is only two parts (and half of it looks to be about Joe Gorga’s sexual prowess), i’m curious why? did they really have that little to talk about?
I am in the Andy Cohen School of actually being quite interested in Joe Gorgas sexual prowess. I’d tune in for an hour of that over these harpies. #45MinutesOfNakedJoe
Haha! Okay… If making love to a roasted pork butt that’s wearing bronzer and way too much hair gel is your thing, then have at it. I guess it really does take all kinds of people to make a world.
Eewww me too!..lol well I don’t mind people talking about because it’s more fascinating to me.
I need money. Can I rob a bank, and blame it on TT and her readers?
You can blame it on me as long as it gets buried in a metal box in my backyard.
You’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk?! ☺️
I’ll rat you out faster than Caroline, Jacqueline, Melissa, Joe Gorga, the lawyer, Kim G., Danielle, the Monica lawyer person, etc., after they’ve all had too many of Teresa’s cannollis and too much of her Fabellini.
Yes. Yes you can. Bomb a vault. Just don’t buy more than four winter coats. Apparently that’s the line.
Gah, I hope the brother’s bankruptcy was somewhat justified (ex. business, medical). I see red at the words “clean slate” when I think it’s due to gaudy mansions, expensive cars, living beyond means.
I wish someone (Andy, or cast mates) would give Teresa a wake-up call with an itemized list of the lies Joe and her told; which led to her prison sentence. It maddening listening to her blame others for what her husband and her created.
As long as its not an itemized list of her winter coats. LAWD.
I was thinking the same thing Naike. From the looks of the video Jac is like ten seconds away from doing that. I wonder if production doesn’t allow them to do it, or if maybe it’s been done, and it never gets aired.
I would so love to see her jaw drop when an itemized list of her purposefully illegal misdeeds are spoken aloud into the camera so she can’t keep lying about what it is that sent her to prison in the first place.
I still maintain she wouldn’t take responsibility. She’s incapable. There’s something missing inside her. Maybe it’s attributable to the way she grew up. I often wonder what kind of diagnosis a psychiatrist would give her.
I was listening to Radio Andy a few weeks ago, he was saying that he felt like Teresa and Joe were treated too harshly!
Well that makes me curious. Was he referring to the legal system treating them too harshly, or fans? Either way it’s kind of odd. I think on the legal front she in particular of the two received a light sentence, where he may be deported when all is said and done, and given the fact they’re still living in a mansion with all the toys of the wealthy it’s kind of laughable to suggest they were put upon by harsh treatment. As for fans I think most fans are giving her a pass, but the more she denies having done anything wrong, and tries to blame other people, the more fans are turned off.
Do people undergo brain changes when they hit the D-list of celebritydom?
All of a sudden they market cookbooks, liquor, perfume, clothes, and think they and their progeny have oodles of untapped talent. They think they are entitled to they very best and should get a pass for all bad behavior. Do they not realize they became celebrities for their dreadful behavior not for anything that benifited mankind?
Amen! I wrote something similar on the post on Siggy, but you explained it so much better than I did. I remember on a special for RHOC and Vicky said something to the effect that she is a celebrity. She went on to say that she doesn’t care if you’re an A, B, or C celebrity (paraphrasing), she’s still a celebrity. Well, no Vicki. You are not a celebrity. You are just another pathetic, lying, housewife and so are all your buddies and enemies on the show. When the show ends, you will no longer be the OG of the OC. You will be a distant, bad memory.
Fivecatsownme I think that’s a generalized statement that can be made of wealthy people in general, they come to believe they’re where they are financially because of inherent special merit. “They deserve it because they’re better than everyone else.”
Caroline’s table is laden with the fruits of hard earned labor not other peoples stolen escarole.
Not exactly. That’s the problem with NJ. None of these women are on the total up and up. Al was lying about where he lived to serve in a political office and get benefits. Jack and Chris have a fraudulent business bankruptcy. The Gorgas lied about their business ventures. I’ve seriously never seen a group of people so full of shit. How did they assemble this cast of idiots?
I don’t mean to make this political, & I hope I don’t… but why isn’t Teresa blaming Trump? …lol.She was on the Celebrity Apprentice 2012 – filmed in 2011 – She loved Trump & claimed Trump loved her & Joe & GET THIS .. Trump gave them financial advice!! ( or so Teresa has said) Isn’t this the man who has had similar tax issues as of late?, How far back? & when did the Guidices tax issues start? Now I know Trump is not criminal —-ish He is only stupid (my opinion) & thinks he has does nothing wrong! (I’m Canadian & have no say in this election, I just don’t like Trump) The Guidices ARE stupid, thought they have never ever done anything wrong & are now criminals! (but don’t tell them that…lol) I just wonder if maybe this is why Teresa is supporting Trump? or does she really think he can pardon Joe if he becomes POTUS? Is there is any connection? Not that this matters a wink but it intrigues me & I just wanted to put this out there for thought….
And of course Teresa is going to blame Jac & Caroline because….#DUH It’s not her fault & it never will be. She just went away to a yoga camp to write a “Book Of Lies” .That’s what she allegedly told her daughters. Teresa will never let those precious little girls know the truth, & when they do find out (and they will or have already….sad) She will DENY DENY DENY any fault & blame it all on Bravo, Jac, Caroline, Kathy, Russ, Rosie, her Aunts, Uncles, Sister-in-laws & anyone else who has not bowed down to Queen Teresa #Sigh The train-wreck continues…….
You simply can’t quote Trump. HAVE YOU SEEN THE SHEER VOLUME OF HIS WIFE’S COATS???
This is one season that truly doesn’t need a reunion, there is nothing that needs to be hashed out. We are going to get Siggy being loud and talking over everyone because she’s a “relationship expert”. Ugh, TT thanking you in advance for taking one for the team and recapping the snoozefest.
I’m the very last Jacqueline supporter here. So edited to the point of who the hell knows what happened. Vermont was a cluster F, the fashion show and make up diner looks to be equally dirty. I’d love to see Carolyn come back and open a can of whoop ass on Teresa because Mrs. Manzo doesn’t tolerate shit. We can be an indignant as we like but clearly Teresa is NEVER going to be truthful so I for one see who for who she is, a pathological liar. Would have loved for Kathy, Richie and Rosie to go WWE this season, they wusses out as well. This goes to show that crime really sometimes does pay. I wish Teresa would have had the 60 Days In experience for “camp”, those girls don’t play!
I would also love to see Carolyn return to Real Housewives. She’s always said she’d never go back but the last time she was on Watch What Happens and Andy asked her if she’d consider coming back her answer changed to “it depends on who else is on” which I take to mean that she’d never consider it as long as Teresa was around.
I rather see carolyn on hw than Manzo’d With Children.
Really? I always thought she came off incredibly hard on housewives, and didn’t much care for her. In fact I stupidly disliked her on the show, and I probably wouldn’t have watched Manzo’d With Children had it not been for TT recommending it. I absolutely love that show. I wish it were an hour. Her kids are hilarious, and she’s softened quite a bit on it. I imagine she’s far closer to her real self on that show, and that I like.
She will probably blame Hillary for putting her in prison.
Can I just state that all the people on this show are awful?
I mean, i tend to love these things BECAUSE they are awful, and vapid, and shallow, and bitchy, and slut shaming, while wearing Fendi. However this is the first one I’ve (just about) solely relied on the recaps of TT because I genuinely have no interest in watching it. Which is HUGE. I love me some trashy reality tv.
But what about the coats Mark, the coats? They’re not going to watch themselves you know.
Hahaha, Wonky Tonk – I couldn’t figure out a better way to frame some well-deserved shade!!! Thanks a mil!!!
Yeah, I see no problem with anyone owning good quality clothes for cold weather. But the idea with June Graham, I assume, is she didn’t want to give anyone any excuse to talk shit. Which is smart. And I assume she wasn’t any kind of felon.
Teresa, on the other hand doesn’t really seem to have the mental capacity for thinking a couple steps ahead. She needs to reel it in. She could have at least said that she and Joe had to cut out a lot of stuff and reduce their spending. She could have pretended to be living more conservatively or humbly. But NOOOOOO. Why would she ever downsize or not spend so blatantly and frivolously for the whole world to see? It’s not like that kind of behavior got her in trouble in the first place (sarcasm). Haha!
Gotdayumt!!! Again, no idea how this ended up down here. I was responding to Mark. Aaaaaaargh!!!
Are you running any add ons for your browser that might interfere with the scripting from the site? I say that because I had to disable the inline scripts for this site because they were interfering with the way I browse the web in, for me, a pretty big way. The problem is when I did that I broke the reply mechanism locally (on my web browser) which meant that all replies ended up as independent posts, as opposed to children of the parent post to which you were responding, like yours just did.
Wonky, Google Chrome does not like my template. I can fix this but some of my ads are hardcoded into the template. I hate the fucking template. I have a new template I want to buy. But it will be a lot of work and likely some downtime. I keep planning to do it on the weekend but I need to be sane to do it. Alas, sanity is fleeting.
I guess what I am trying to say is I am aware of some of the problems and working on them um soonish.. 🙂
Sorry for the inconvenience, it is driving me batshit too.
My actual reply is a stand alone at or near the bottom TT. LOL I forgot to turn inline scripts back on before replying. My bad.
Ah Minky you misunderstand Tre and Joe. They have done nothing wrong and are entitled to the best.
Come on girl get with the program, it’s always someone else’s fault.
For those of us who know mob speak, you know what Teresa is doing. Everyone I knew who lived this life is now dead so I am comfortable sharing what I know. You never looked to close at the gifts you received because you didn’t want to know “they fell off the back of a truck”. You did what your husband asked you to do, no questions asked. IMHO the reason that Joey and Melissa didn’t know important people to the fed like Tre and Joe do so that is why they were of no interest to them(Feds).
It is a cultural way of thinking and the people who are living that life feel justified in blaming others for everything that doesn’t go their way. It is my hope that Tre’s girls will break the cycle…I did.
Wow….thanks for sharing..that was interesting to say the least..deep.
Teresa has blamed everybody from her Lawyer to the dogcatcher. I’m not shocked that she’s now blaming Caroline, & Jacqueline. Since Danielle wants back on so much, Teresa will be blaming Danielle next. Good luck with that Danielle!
Oh Naike, honey! That’s what we all want. I would throughly enjoy it if someone read Teresa’s ass for filth. Anybody: Andy, Jac, Judge Judy, etc.
The only one who came close was Dr. Oz when he referred to her by her inmate number and kept using the word “prison”. Mehmet must really hate Teresa. He let Yolanda get away with the Chronic Lyme fuckery, but not Teresa. He just slapped on those cute little latex gloves of his and put his fist straight up Teresa’s ass. The wardrobe people even low key dressed her in prison stripes. And you know that Teresa’s too slow to notice the shade. It was so good it almost brought tears to my eyes! ?
*The above is a reply to Naike and Wonky. These commenting boxes don’t like me at all. ?
I’m going to find that episode!
Mark have you priced Chinchilla coats? You could buy a small car. Most all of Teresa’s coats are Mink, Fox , fur coats. I was not talking about of Lands End coats. Teresa has a closet full of fur coats.
Another another closet full of coats that are hugely expensive. Mark has been a bit off his rocker lately. I don’t think he gets it.
Teresa is the Imelda Marcos of all the RH franchises. Repulsive.
It’s not about coats it’s about being fleeced. Buffalo Fabillie skinned a lot of people alive.
Mark my words.
That was a beaut TD. You’ve done very well. ☺️
True not all about coats. Its just another sickening example of her ill- gotten gains which she has been allowed to keep. Truly disgusting .
Meanwhile the sun rises in the east, the world is not flat and grifters can never have enough clothes.
TT there’s absolutely no rush on my end. I’ve got a work around that works like a charm so I’m totally good. I’m not reading a lot of complaints except oddball stuff like Minky’s experiencing that doesn’t seem to happen all of the time, so I would say your site is doing pretty damned good.
