Real Housewives of New Jersey: Siggy’s Not Over It

November 1, 2017 by tamaratattles 66 Comments

Ladies and Gentlemen, please take out a sharpie and mark your calendars. Tonight I am feeling emotionally well, I’m relatively sane, and completely sober for now. I’m ready to recap the gals from New Jersey. In case you missed it, I wrote a post about Danielle being sued today.

I love Margaret’s house. It’s not a McMansion like all the other houses that the Jersey and Atlanta housewives live in. I’m pretty sure everyone with any sense put their house on the market if it has a big white staircase with ugly black railings like so many of these giant, gaudy places do. That look is more worn out than Louboutin shoes and Birkin bags. Never before have so few done so much to besmirch a couple of brands.  Speaking of shoes, Margaret is back from Vegas and busy working on a luxury for less shoe line. Margaret was quickly caught up on The Public Shaming Of Melissa. 

Dolores admits she is still keeping one foot in the door with Frank while in a serious relationship David. When David takes Dolores to dinner, he buys a dinner for Frank and Frankie for Dolores to take home to them. Dolores tells Frank about Danielle telling Teresa that she said that Teresa doesn’t care about any friendship over money. Dolores is hurt that Teresa didn’t immediately defend her to Danielle. Frank says that Teresa has a lot going on and she will come around eventually. 

Gorga’s Pizzeria is almost ready for the grand opening. Teresa’s dad cries when he sees all of the o;d photos on the wall of Teresa and Joe’s parents. Teresa says she thinks there should be more old photos on the wall. She doesn’t want a photo of Melissa and Joe that Joe picked on the wall because Melissa is “only a Gorga by injection.”  Teresa goes on to say if Joe divorces her she won’t be a Gorga anymore. Melissa has had enough. She leaves to let the real Gorgas do all the work. Good move, Melissa.

Later Teresa goes shopping with Gia for swimwear for their trip to Puerto Rico. At the shop, Gia points out to Teresa that she doesn’t discipline the girls because she is afraid that they will hate her. Gia is having this conversation in a very respectful way. At one point she says something like what do I know, I am not the mom, but when you were away, Dad was very strict. We had rules And Milania in particular needs structure. Gia is exactly right. Except for the part about not being the mom. She was the mom all last year. Teresa doesn’t absorb any of this. In her confession she basically says she doesn’t want to be the mom, she just wants to do fun things and go on vacation. Gia is the only mature person in this family.

Speaking of poor parenting, Siggy is at lunch with her parents complaining that Josh doesn’t listen to her. Her mother points out that her mother allowed her to go back to the US from Israel for her last two years of high school. She says that Siggy needs to let Josh go where he needs to go.

Joe and Melissa stop by Teresa’s house and over a bottle of wine discuss Teresa’s comments at the pizzeria. Teresa apologies and says she was pissed at her for criticizing her parenting. Joe says that Melissa is absolutely right and Teresa is too soft on the girls. Teresa is going to stew over that now too.

[Insert uncomfortable date night with Siggy and her husband here.] #FastForward

Wow, Margaret’s shoe line is the fake reason for the girls to go to Milan. Are we already up to that point of the season? This season is so short because production knew that it sucked. The other night Jac was posting about how sad it was that the ratings fell flat this season when they worked so hard last season to get them up. #bitter

Gorga’s pizzeria is hold a tasting party. Joe wants everyone to give their sincere feedback on each dish. This is news to the New York Times Best Selling Cookbook Author who doesn’t appear to know why restaurants old tastings before they open. Teresa says that Dolores will just say whatever Siggy thinks. You know who is ruining this season? Teresa. Her over acting is exceedingly bad.

So everyone hates everyone going into the tasting. The set up seems to be who will Teresa believe, Dolores or Danielle. For whatever reason, the script says Danielle.

Teresa’s dad is actually helping out in the kitchen. Teresa and Melissa are making a big deal out of Frank moving back in with Dolores. I do not know people like this. Why are these women so consumed with everyone else’s personal business. Why do they care?

Danielle quickly tries to rally Teresa to her side before Dolores gets there. She asks Teresa if she believes her when she said the other night that Dolores said, “Teresa’s in a place where she only cares about money.” WAIT RIGHT THERE. HOLD THE PHONE. THAT IS NOT WHAT DANIELLE SAID.  At the party Danielle said basically that Teresa should be leery of Dolores because she told her that “Teresa has no friendships that mean more to her than money.” These two statements are completely different. The first one means that Teresa is up to her eyes in debt and in danger of losing everything and so right now she is in a place where all she cares about is money. The second one says that Teresa would sell out her friends for money.  While I think both of those statements are true about Teresa, I think if Dolores said anything at all she sad that Teresa is in a place where she is only focused on money.

Teresa says she is not sure who to believe, her friend of over twenty years,or Danielle who she has been hanging out with for the past three months. She actually said that. I am not making that up. Siggy jumps in to say that Dolores has been a loyal friend to Teresa for two decades. Then Margaret points out that Danielle has no reason to lie. Margaret doesn’t know either of the women well enough to even offer an opinion. She needs to shut up. Siggy is already getting heated and Dolores is not even there yet.

Dolores arrives and snubs Margaret and Danielle. Siggy explains to Joe why they are pissed at those two. Teresa’s shih tzu confessional styling must have been done by someone who hates her. Siggy acts live a five-year old when Margaret tries to talk to her. She even sticks out her tongue. People really go to this woman for relationship advice? Siggy acts like a complete lunatic and has a tantrum and stomps out off the restaurant. This completely overshadowed what should have become the focal point of the scene and that is the conversation that needed to happened, and was trying to happen, between Dolores and Teresa. Teresa was cutting Dolores off at every turn though, and so Dolores decided just to leave with the crazy bitch. When Dolores calls Frankie to the door, Danielle realizes that she hasn’t touched on one of the main talking points of the episode. The topic that had been set up at least five time during this hour. The fact that Dolores lives with her ex husband and is dating someone else. She starts asking were her new man is and when she can meet him. Teresa comes over and pulls Dolores away from Danielle and escorts her to the door. I think Dolores should have decked Teresa right there.

Teresa takes her family to Puerto Rico for Easter. Dolores defend’s Siggy’s bat shit crazy behavior. Why Dolores, why?

      Ugh is right! Siggy acts like such a toddler that I can’t help but feel embarrassed for her. And why are her eyes red and teary in every scene… even the very few scenes where she doesn’t cry? She seems like she’s on the edge of an emotional breakdown every second of every day. It’s no wonder why her son is emotionally vacant. She’s used up all of the emotions for the entire family.

    This show has tanked. I used to watch it faithfully but now I rarely do, and get 99% of my info from these recaps. Teresa is really the only one who usually has anything interesting going on, and that will really be true when Joe gets out of summer/winter/spring/fall camp. Production is using her to get into it with the other cast members, in order to make them watchable. It isn’t working. Joe Gorga is still a short little shit who has to constantly prove what a stud he is by making inappropriate comments to Melissa. Melissa has never had much of a story line other than denying she was a stripper and fighting with Teresa. Siggy? Big mouth and over-reacts to just about anything. Dolores? I don’t dislike her – she could still appear in a show with just Teresa. Margaret? Eminently forgettable. Time to cancel and have a show with Teresa and the girls.

    Melissa, Dolores, and Margaret remain the only likeable ladies in this ensemble for me. They’re imperfect, but they annoy me the least. I think Dolores is loyal to a fault, which is a shame because Siggy would benefit from some home truths from her friend right now, but I can’t dislike her for that given that most of these other ladies would stab each other in the heart for a book deal or 10 grand in used banknotes.

    Teresa and Danielle are equally terrible people to me. They should stick with the charade of friendship, because they deserve each other.

    The biggest disappointment this season is Siggy. She has behaved like an ill-disciplined child, and I think the way she talks to Margaret is uncalled for. She was right about the cake in the beginning, but she went too far and then she wouldn’t let it drop to the extent that no one even remembers that she was right at one point. I liked her so much when she came on the show wrapped in her facelift bandages – that was funny to me – but since then she’s started taking herself way too seriously.

    In spite of myself (because I know they’ll behave like pigs in a country I love), I’m looking forward to the Milan episodes. I hope we get to see a little of the city and culture, and more than just watching them shop in the same stores they have at home. It’s so different to the rest of Italy, and for me a more exciting and dynamic city because it’s the Italian financial capital, so it’d be a real shame if we all get to see is these terrible people trashing restaurants and spending their (mostly ill-gotten) money.

      I agree with you totally. Teresa will find herself intertwined with Danielle only to have her turn on her. Teresa will deserve everything she gets for not sticking with her friend of 20+years. I have no sympathy for Teresa.
      Teresa’s interaction with Gia was so sad. She did not have the cognitive ability to respond coherently to Gia. She just kept stammering uh, uh, uh.
      Siggy, I can’t ever watch anymore. She needs a few weeks away in a quiet peaceful place. I am afraid she is heading for a breakdown. Get some help girl! This show is getting hard to watch.

        I found it funny when Siggy was talking about offering overnight retreats for her gullible customers (I’d be fascinated to know what she charges the people who come to her events!), because if anyone needs an overnight stay at the funny farm right now it’s Siggy.

        I keep telling myself she’s pretty smart, she’s going to watch the episodes and feel ridiculous, and go into the reunion with some humility so we can have the Siggy back that used to laugh at herself – but her attitude on social media suggests she only intends to dig deeper. I really don’t understand why she’s as mad as she is at Margaret – sure, you could Margaret was disloyal, but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Siggy has gone so overboard that no one will even bother to check Margaret now.

          I agree with both points-several of this crew’s members each represent various segments of people dealing with cases of mental challenges. It feels like we move from one object lesson to the ext. Siggy is just as described- who would pay her for any advice after being in her presence? What does she think she offers? Her arrogance and hyper emotionalism are sad to me. She appears to have had a terrible impact on her son and her family- and is unaware of how her actions impacted her family many years ago? What psychiatric advisor is not aware of her own history/style and its impact on others/ her family??

          Danielle appears to be so stressed, withholding her own emotions while pretending ( very badly) to be the character Bravo wants her to be this season. She feels stretched, strained, a false person playing some role very badly, with nothing but trouble on her agenda. Meanwhile the real Danielle awaits the moment when she is unleashed and can share her dirt on everyone, or at least, on Melissa, Joe G, and Jacq.

      Yes! I’ve grown to like her over the years; she appears down to earth and mature for her age. She often looks sad though. As if she’s seen too much. It can’t be easy with a chuckehead like Teresa as her mom and a depressed, emotionally stunted dad with a drinking problem. Teresa looked so confused when Gia was speaking to her. It’s a shame she can’t internalize what her daughter was saying. It was so insightful. She either doesn’t have the intellectual capacity or her ego is simply too big. Probably both. Sad. I hope that Teresa lets Gia go away to college and she can be a, ‘kid” for a few years.

    The evil dark heart of Teresa comes through the 8lbs of stage makeup. You’re correct TT, she and Danielle deserve each other, both cons, with really really bad style. Danielle looked high at the restaurant, I guess she found her missing weed. The back story on the cake was amazing, too bad they didn’t show it all, I get her anger but enough already with sticking out her tongue. I love Dolores. If her relationship works for her who gives two shits. Joe Gorga needs to hold a housewife title, I’ll stick with this just to see how it ends but no more.

    I have to agree with Theresa about the pictures in the Resturaunt. (Not her delivery or comments to Melissa) The theme was old school Italian with lots of old pictures. Melissa clearly had a glossy, professional picture which highlighted only herself. It looked completely out of place with the rustic vibe of the pictures taken in Italy…. and if Joe Gorga really did pick that picture, it was at Melissa’s coaxing.

      I agree. Not that I am a fan of any of the women in this franchise (past and present), I find myself rooting for Teresa in most all cases. I’ve come to realize that there is alot more to Tre’s negative feelings about Mel than I originally believe. I thought she was just jealous of Mel and her relationship with her brother. I really think Mel wants to be the center of attention more than Tre. Seems as if she constantly wants any and everything Tre has, from coming on the show to Tre’s personal friendships. Just like the photograph, she makes everything about herself. Who puts a photo in a family restaurant and chooses one that leaves our the husband who started it. She and cousin Kathys clan were desperate to be on the show and when they couldn’t benefit Mel any longer she changed teams. She couldn’t exceed Tre’s popularity and could no longer be viewed (which is polarizing)she dropped the cousins to partner with Tre to maintain a position on the show. Anyway, the two are more alike than twins. I like the 2 of them much more when they are getting along and I’m glad they got rid of the lying hypocrite Wacko Jacko and Manzos(after their friendship with Tre ended), as well as the forgettable twins, Jim,and the Wakillies. it’s amaze balls how my opinions changed thru the years bc I loved the Manzos until Caroline flipped and ruined it.

      Yes she did and everyone was upset and not impressed because children were present in the restaurant while she’s doing the vertical dance in the bathroom. You know kids were more or less roaming the place. Usually tasting are a private affair and the place is closed to the public. As a child I had to check out any bathroom at any restaurant we went to (Who knows why!). It must be a kid thing because my two children did it too. So, yeah, I’d have been angry as a parent. The Gorgas were probably pissed it doesn’t look good for a family restaurant.

    Danielle’s face shows her true character. Theresa can’t handle everything she has going on and her daughters suffer for it. She is cunning but not very bright. I can’t with weepy women. Melissa is meh. I haven’t made my mind up about Margaret. She skews a little Kim D. to me, without the inherent viciousness. Her husband, on the other hand, is a putz. Joe Gorga can be entertaining but is mostly annoying. I like Dolores. She reminds me of my Jersey Italian girls grown up. All about family and loyalty with a complicated relationship. Frank is okay so far. Gia’s modesty and maturity serves her well. I just hope it sticks. She makes a better example of a HW than her mother and most of the other women on these shows.

    I am absolutely horrified at Siggy’s 14-year old behavior this season. She is embarrassing to watch! I can’t believe she stuck her tongue out in front of everyone, including her own husband (thereby going from a 14 year old to a 4 year old). How can he support that kind of behavior? Siggy should be sent to the corner for a much needed time-out. And Delores? When Siggy opens her mouth, why do we see your head inside? Is that how far up her ass you are? So thankful we have Margaret here to call the spade the spade in every situation. Her blogs call out everyone in such a great way – she is a great addition to this cast.

    I like Melissa as I have since her first season on the show. I like how she let’s Teresa sling the mud and she’s walks away the bigger person. Walking out of the restaurant was a great move.

    I also like Margaret and disagree with Delores’ assessment that she is sneaky. I believe she’s the opposite. She calls out their BS in their face which I think is great!
    Just because Siggy introduced her to the group doesn’t mean she has to be a mindless puppet.
    Siggy and Delores can’t cry they were excluded from the Memorial on the beach when both refused to respond to the group text message.

    This leads me to Delores, who I would like more if she would be independent of Siggy. Delores appears to be a loyal friend to both Teresa and Siggy and allows herself to be dragged into their foolishness. She should take a page from Kyle’s book and learn how to be supportive without going down with the ship.

    Teresa is proof that Andy’s theory that the OGs are necessary to have a successful show. I think this show would fine without her just like RHOC would be fine without Vicki, RHOB would be fine without LVP and RHOA was fine without NeNe. Sure, all of these women have their moments where they entertain but I think Kenya proves that new blood can help these shows as she has carried RHOA since her introduction to that show and Ericka Jayne is taking over RHOBH.

    Danielle knows how to work the reality t.v game and so far it’s working for her.

    I have no words for Siggy.

    So, disappointed in Siggy Flicker. She has obviously decided to take her menopausal angst out on Melissa and Margaret. Does everyone pay Siggy taxes as she owns Boca? Siggy has turned into the most self enveloped mentally unstable 50 year old we have seen. She made Danielle Staub look ladylike and emotionally healthy. I really liked Delores last year but blindly holding up the great and mighty Siggy makes her appear slow witted and extremely simple minded. I just do not understand how anyone could or would take advice from someone who acts like a 2 year old who missed several naps.

    When Siggy was winding up at the Gorga’s tasting – and the food looked pretty good! – I just had to turn it off. I am embarrassed for her. Is she trying to carry this entire season on her back by acting the fool and creating drama? The only way this works for me is if we see Siggy have an epiphany about her antics at the end of the season and offer insights into her bizarre behavior.

    Is that why Dolores is ride or die with her, because she knows it’s simply Siggy hamming it up for ratings?
    One can only hope.

    The twitter feud with Margaret and Siggy’s PR firm and fans seems a bit forced, too.

    On a positive note (and I am sure someone will set me straight and puncture my little theory :)) I was pleased to see some progress in how Tre dealt with the issue of Melissa’s comments on her parenting. A few seasons back, she would’ve stewed, vowed revenge and, literally or figuratively, flipped a table and never revealed that Melissa’s comments were hurtful until things had spiraled out of control.

    At least she acknowledged why she was so pissy with Mel at the restaurant. Glad she apologized.

    As for Joe and Mel commenting on Tre’s parenting? I am on Tre’s side on this one. Right or wrong, you keep that shit to yourself, SIL, unless someone’s being abused or neglected. If, as a brother – not a SIL – you have concerns that your sister is being too lenient in order to compensate for the shitshow their young lives have become, you have a gentle conversation that includes asking more than telling. Then you just keep a sharp eye out to ensure the girls are not acting out in dangerous ways.

    Is anyone else over Teresa’s “My Little Pony” hairdo in her talking head?

    Just asking. I kept looking at all the hair piled in and the crazy top knot ponytail when I finally saw the braid at the center leading to the top knot and thought it’s My Little Pony,

    Just like Teresa’s mother, Melissa married into the family. That phrase, “Gorga by injection” is so ew ew ew, aside from being incredibly disrespectful.

    I also have to comment on the restaurant story line.

    I hope to hell Joe didn’t really buy that restaurant. He has no idea what he is doing just by watching him.

    If he comes out of this fiasco less than a high six figures in the hole, I’ll be shocked.

    Cannot stomach Siggy, and her excuses saying that menopause is making her behave like this are insane – no wonder men think we all go nuts at that stage of our lives –

    go away Siggy and while your at it, get a new career because not once but twice now I have heard her say to Margaret – your an ugly human being
    She means what she is saying, fake face telling another woman she is ugly in any way, shape or form is disgusting – especially when then woman saying it is supposed to be some sort of self-esteem BS spouter.

    She is totally pulling the Jac card this year – did she not notice how amazingly well that went for Jac?

    *Run Gia RUN* and pack up your grandads stuff and take him with you because everyone else is nuts

    Anyone remember in the early years Joe brought Tre to a pizza place he wanted to buy in Hillside NJ? They would live above it. You’d think he had asked her to live in a subway tunnel. Joe did all the financial stuff BECAUSE of Tre who wanted to try to keep up with her brother. Joe would have been happy making pizza all day and loving his family in that apartment. Tre feigns innocence but Joe is in prison because of her. She’s stupid but not that stupid to know they couldn’t legally afford the lifestyle she demanded. So Joe is in prison and Tre opens a pizza place with family. Just plain wrong.

    Tamara, what’s your take on Tre’s Dad’s comment upon first meeting Margaret? I nearly died. For a grief stricken old man, that was out of right field.

      Ok I am not TT but I am actually concerned about this guy. I dont know if it is the grief or if he was always like this but he has this faraway look in his eyes, does not make eye contact with people ever. I know he has had health problems in the past, I hope he is okay, medically.

    This episode was so annoying because it flipped from the boring personal lives of the individual housewives to them getting together and acting like they are on a Jerry Springer Episode. I read Danielle’s blog and wondered why they couldn’t have filmed Delores’s son getting advice from Danielle’s fiance? That would have been interesting. I love Delores, but I think that her ex husband “moved in” just for the sake of filming. Each woman needs something to film at home for some reason (Reminds me of Ladies of London format). The Guidice’s are pretty reliable for entertainment. The Gorga’s new business reminds me of every other restaurant show, and I wish they would film Kathy and Rosie having a rant about how their family’s recipes are being featured and why aren’t they cross-marketing by serving Kathy’s deserts? I remember when Juicy Joe had a pizza place and it wasn’t treated as a Pop Up Store to sell HW sh*t. We might be moving to NJ and I can go check out the restaurant myself. As you can see, this episode managed to erase my intellect or what was left of it. PJ

      NJ has provided a one- show hiring run for the entire state of NJ, over the years. When I consider all the wild array of businesses that have benefitted, and all the people who have had their moment waiting to be touched by the reality bug, it is a long list, and I will not attempt to list them all.
      It is clear that most of the women living in and around Teresa and Jacqueline , thought this was their moment to be hired on the little screen. This from actresses to reality stars to be, to makeup artists to their daughters. Whole families found work, like the Manzos, to women from Kim’s D to Z, to the twins, Amber, their mothers and in laws, cousins and hairdressers, etc. Heck, Danielle’s oldest and now the second,I think, daughter have been modeling.

      While Dolores AND Ziggy apparently waited a long time, in fact Dolores was filmed in Season 1, as we see on flashbacks now.. And they were so threatened that they got Robin and her partner tossed last year, they were so desperate to be on the show and hold their tomatoes.

      At first, Teresa even hired her favorite party planners, too. And caterers, florists, etc. And some of that spinoff went on to Dina, the Manzo businesses, etc.

      Of course Caroline had her crowds of friends in the backyard at her parties, around the table, the pool, etc., Jacq even brought her masseuse, who if I remember had a drinking problem, to the show.

      RHNJ has provided an all-friends- hiring bonanza for the neighborhood, for sure. It is amazing it has gone on as long as it has. Why do I suspect the lines are shorter and the hiring has slowed down quite a bit? Well, it went on much longer than I would have thought.

      This struck me as I watched Melissa get into another Bentley in a huff last night leaving the restaurant they can’t afford to open. We haven’t even touched on all the special deals each of the top gals got on any product under the sun, from furniture to cars to clothes etc.

      Hopefully their rash of Bentleys is near the end. Goodness knows the show must be. There is nothing left worth watching. .

    Clearly, something is going on w/Siggy behind the scenes – but what?
    At least with Shannon Beador we knew it was her husband’s affair that sent her into a downward spiral.
    Is she this upset about becoming an empty-nester combined with menopause or struggling with the show’s notoriety? I enjoyed Siggy last season and am perplexed.
    I’m not sure about the pellets in the ass for anyone….my mother did them and lost a good 60% of her hair within a couple of months.

    Don’t like Siggy but if it weren’t for her this season would be another boring RHOC. So I say go Siggy!

    Tamra – are the ratings public knowledge or do you have the inside scoop?

    Seems to me like far too much of this season is scripted. For example, the fake argument between Melissa and Teresa at the restaurant. Much of Siggy’s antics seem producer induced. Unfortunately she’s either taking that direction too far, or she’s buying into their manipulations. Saw her on WWHL last night and she balls to the walls defended her public shaming of Melissa at her purse party. One would think by this far into the season she would’ve caught wind that her behavior isn’t going over too well, but no. She’s committed to her narrative. I’m convinced Danielle is stoned in every scene. She’s working every fiber in her body to contain her true feelings and keep that Bravo paycheck. If she makes it past this season, the true tea will come seeping out. I wonder if Gia’s embarrassed about her mother’s pre-prison behavior marketing her daughter as the next Britney Spears? She’s obviously moved on, but I’m sure she’s wise to her mother’s machinations and keeps an eye on her constantly. I’m so happy she’s a level-headed child and wish her every success going forward. She deserves no less. Papa Gorga is a pervert and I would have winced to his face if he talked to me like that. Clearly RHONJ still excuse old men and sexually inappropriate behavior. Ugh. If that passes for cute, I can only imagine how he’s treated women over the years.

    Teresa is boring as hell. None of the women have anything genuinely interesting going on in their lives other than Margaret. Teresa & Joe open a fake restaurant? Boring. Melissa “opens a store” that’s basically a gift shop to sell merchandise related to the show? Boring. Siggy hangs out? Boring. Delores’ ex-husband moves in with her and they both cohabitate peacefully? Boring.

    Just an after thought after watching the show again, Teresa’s comments about ‘Gorga by injection’.

    Wouldn’t the same apply to her own mother? She wasn’t born a Gorga. I think if Antonia was still alive and ever heard Teresa utter those words she’d cuss the hell out of her, just like she did to Kathy when she was starting shit with her cousins.

    I realise this is all manufactured BS but surely she recognises the idiocracy of her statements?

    I, too am embarrassed and disgusted with Siggy’s behavior. She has come unglued. Dolores ( resting bitch face) has admitted that Caroline Manzo is a very special friend/mentor to her. She,too, is feuding with Dina. Obviously Dolores is not loyal to Teresa, and I think she is using Siggy as an ally against Teresa and Melissa. Danielle does seem sleezy, but if having raised good kids is a measuring stick, may not be as bad as she seems- her daughters seem to turned out well. That’s more than the Manzo’s can claim.

      What about the Manzo’s kids? I thought the daughter is married with a kid? And I understand that Danielle’s exH is the one who spends a great deal of time with her daughter. If she is someone who can’t even keep her panties on at a restaurant, goodness knows what those kids have been exposed to at home.

    Teresa is and always has been clueless. It is a shame Gia acts more like an adult than her mother. She is proof that parents lacking intelligence can have intelligent children . I really think that Teresa’s fans believe that she actually write’s her own books. what parent would encourage /tell her teenage daughter to get a skimpy bikini to show off her A$$. Teresa maybe smarter than she looks ,maybe just maybe she is tryin’ to tell people see she is a modest girl but I am thinking this is Teresa .nah . .Gia being modest in dress is not a opinion I share ,she has wore many questionable outfits that I would not let my daughter wear .
    I remember Teresa saying she is taking Gia to doctor to make sure she is a virgin. If Teresa doesn’t want people’s comments on her parenting then maybe she should stop giving people a reason to say what they do.
    Siggy ,is an embarrassment and behaving very badly,if Micheal has a midlife crisis would anyone be surprised ?
