I think I am going to write a book on exercise and weight loss. I know what you are thinking. You’re thinking, “Tamara, you sit your fatass on the couch and drink and watch TV and write poorly written recaps and posts all day everyday. You are like the opposite of someone who should be writing a diet book!” And you are right, except apparently none of that matters. Because Jacqueline Laurita co-wrote a book on “Health and Beauty” proving that you can write a book about anything you want. My sequel will be How To Keep A Tidy House, and then maybe something about how to have long and healthy relationships. Because seriously, I thought Jac had done all the stupid things. But apparently, she has a few left to do. Despite her apparent dislike of exercise on the show, and her full body tuck she got during one season, she still claims she was into yoga before Teresa Giudice and that she encouraged her to try it. She says it was not until Teresa “went away” that she actually found the time.
Page Six went to her book signing and asked her how she felt about not being on the show anymore and she told them she was glad to be on the outside of all of that drama.
She explained her exit this way:
“They had given me a start date. A couple days later they expressed concern that I wasn’t getting along with a few of the girls and they were like, ‘How’s this going to look authentic if you don’t want to be hanging out with each other? They wanted me to come on and start filming part-time to see how the storyline unfolded and then maybe would make me full-time. They weren’t guaranteeing full-time, so for me to film all season long under all that stress and drama to not have a guaranteed full-time [spot] was not worth it for me, so I said no.”
That actually does make sense. I am not sure if that is how things actually went down, but it does make sense. Jac says she is still friends with Dolores and Siggy and feels badly for them as they were both given some bad edits this season. It appears that the other ganged up on Dolores and Siggy for supporting Kim D.’s fashion show on the upcoming season.
Jac is currently spending her time spreading “autism awareness” while leaving her child in the care of others. And being a grandmother. She missed a great trip to Milan.
And the opportunity to make some really poor fashion choices in a city renowned for fashion.
Good riddance. Can’t stand her. Glad this season we won’t have to see her rehash drama from season 3 and meet up with Kathy to declare she was only trying to heal Teresa and her family.
While her reply makes sense, I don’t really buy it. She and her husband still owe a lot of money.
My sense of paying my bills would over ride my pride in not being offered a full time slot right off the bat.
See, you have a sense of paying your bills.
I’m sure the many many people she owes money to will be thrilled to hear she turned down paid work.
I am a long time supporter of Jacqueline and thought and still think she was a true friend to Teresa. Not sure she isn’t dealing with depression and anxiety as well. We are always asking when these women are going to grow weary of the destructive nature of reality tv and whatever the reason is, I’m happy she’s out. All the series seem to have one cast member that decides who will be the “star” and Teresa and her felonious ways still reigns supreme in Jersey. Wishing her and her family the best.
Good riddance couldn’t say stand. Her
Let’s face it.
She was fired.
Has any housewife admitted being fired?
She totally sucked on this past season.
Not sure if you listen to podcasts, but heather mcdonald interviewed Dina. It was interesting cuz Dina goes deep n explains a lot.
I believe she didn’t want Danielle putting her on blast especially her farce that their financial trouble is because of their son, therefore she wanted a guaranteed full time spot to make the hell Danielle and Tre would unleash on her worth it. It will be interesting to see if she creates any twitter wars when the new season begin.
I used to like her but she turned into a fool. Doubt Bravo offered her a contract. She burned her bridges last season with her holding court as the queen with Teresa and Melissa in that restaurant.
Exactly
Her reformed face reminds me of an animal, but I cannot think of which one:(
She came across fake and forced last season and believe it or not Bravo doesn’t like that. She should have worked with them. I mean really. It’s money honey.
It makes me wonder about the futures of Shannon and Tamra of the OC. Sure you can hate on Vickie all you want but she’s not the one refusing to film with them. So far one of the worst OCs ever.
