Melissa Gorga has gotten herself into some hot water with Chanel. She was sent a cease and desist order and apparently counterfeit merchandise was seized from her store. She was also required to post on social media that all of the Chanel items in her store were illegal counterfeits. RHONJ is filming now so this will be on the upcoming season.
Tamara Judge looks incredibly thin on her social media posts. It’s probably stress from Eddie’s ongoing heart procedures. On top of Eddie’s health issues, Ryan has gone off the deep end again and is fight dirty with Ava’s mother on social media.
Caroline Manzo is hinting on social media that she is moving into a newer, bigger house.
Cynthia, Kandi and Erika Jayne filmed some promotional spots for NBCu this week. There was also mention of a “special project” that is being kept underwraps. The interesting part of this news is the source said it was for NBCu not Bravo. That’s all I know for now. Stay tuned. Oh, and I finally confirmed that Kenya was officially picked up. But there were “conditions.” She is going to have to jump through hoops for that peach. Remember when Porsha had a punishment season were she was not a peach holder? I’m not saying that will happen with Kenya. I am saying that Bravo is not finished punishing her for getting married without telling them. They seem to really enjoy fucking with her. Eva has a new baby and a wedding that is perfectly timed for the season finale.
Brandi Glanville’s podcast returned this week. Frankly, I never knew it ended. On her first show back she explained the hiatus. Apparently, LVP somehow got Scheana a podcast with the same producer as Brandi doing the same show. This pissed Brandi off. She wanted to invite Scheana on the show to talk to her about it. Scheana said that she would have to have LVP’s permission or at least that is how Brandi interpreted what she said. It seems the real reason was that Scheana was waiting to be renewed for Pump Rules and just didn’t want to risk pissing off LVP until she had been picked up. Brandi says LVP continues to try to ruin her life. I believe Brandi. Your mileage may vary.
There was a lot of jawboning on social media after last week’s episode of RHOA reunion. Marlo pulled up old texts from like five years ago when she and Kenya were friends. She is really pissed that Kenya called her out on her method of making money. Marlo posted a photo of Kenya and Harry Dubin posing for the camera’s together. This was supposed to prove it was Kenya looking for a rich white man. LOL. Kim and Nene went back and forth about nonsense. And Kandi had to point out to Kim that she has the highest rated spinoffs ever on Bravo after Kim kept saying that DBT ratings were higher than Kandi’s.
Paris Jackson seems to be showing signs of mental health/drug issues and no one from her family seems to know how to step in. She’s flying all around the world acting appearing to be unstable. In one video she was walking on the edge of a tall building and nearly fell off.
Mercedeh and Tommy got married yesterday. It was a very long filming day. Reza was her man of honor along with two other guys. She excluded a few female cast members from the wedding entirely.
And that’s what you missed this week.
Poor Tamara. She could use a break.
While I feel badly about Eddies health issues I have zero sympathy/empathy for that cunt. She has reaped what she has sown. Eddie would be wise to ditch her and her trashy ass son from his life.
You think that Eddie should have heart problems so Tamra can get her comeuppance by being stressed.
I think it’s ubergenerous of Eddie to do the Universe this favor ?
What is wrong with people?
No I don’t think he should be unwell. I feel badly for him, not for her. He should kick her and he nasty son to the curb. I thought I made that clear but apparently not.
Wow. STFU or share with us how karma gets you
I’m a little freaked out by Eddie’s cardiac issues. He seems to be the image of a healthy man, for him to have these problems is concerning. I’m pulling for him and his marriage. I haven’t followed anything online other than what you post TT but it sounds like she’s been nothing but supportive, scared and at his side. It also is understandable that their challenges as a couple have a trickle down effect within their family. I hope her son can remove himself from the list of “what to worry about today”, put on his big boy pants and be a good father and son all on his own without causing any more stress to his mother and Eddie.
Don’t we all know someone who was the epitome of health, never drank, exercised, ate well, did all the “right ” stuff and got sick anyway? Eat, drink and be merry because the Reaper doesn’t discriminate.
Poor Eddie. He could use a break from that sunburnt shrew.
Andy Cohen is Nene Leaked your boss? You really kiss her ass a lot. You are as ignorant as nene, I think you both came from the same trailer park. Andy get rid of nene leakes!!!!!
So every day I get tons of comments in moderation. Generally this means they are first time posters. I am getting pretty good at identifying the problems before ever letting their comments go through. This is a comment I should reject. However for some reason I cracked up. I thought y’all might need a laugh too.
She won’t last a week.
Thank God you commented about this because I was reading it wondering how it made it thru. I bet all of the unseen comments would be a hilarious book
Oh Kim….no need to get a fake profile. Just keep letting Brielle do the dirty work and focus on that solo cup, lol.
I’ve had a weird day. Is that post actually coherent? Can someone interpret Window Licker for me?
That’s a trailer park I would love to live in!
You sound like a resident of said trailer park.
Teresa Lockwood…I see what you did there.
Woohoo! I am here and able to comment so I will! Do you think MG knew the Chanel was fake? I am sure this will hurt her business considerably. I am sorry Kenya keeps taking shit from her bosses. I love her but wonder why she even bothers with the show at this point. The Paris situation is pretty awful. That family never seems to step up unless they are trying to make a money grab.
How could Melissa have not known that the Chanel was fake? Don’t they just sell to specific retailers? This just seems very strange.
She probably sold those bad knock off shirts and bags. Some stores notoriously sell knock offs. No one thinks they are getting real Chanel, which costs thousands. I am surprised the ATF didn’t confiscate the stuff.
I think she’s going to deny knowing they were knock offs. Ugh! Here we go, I can hear the screeching already!
Of course Melissa knew she was selling fakes and she didn’t care. Let somebody try making a buck off her “brand” and maybe she’d have a better understanding of this issue.
There was a time when I liked Melissa ok. Now she’s just …stale. She stayed too long, tried too hard.
I have a hard time believing she didn’t know they wasn’t fake. I can’t believe Chanel would authorize Melissa to sell their brand in her tiny 900-1000 sq ft boutique in Montclair, NJ. I don’t think there is much of a markup with Chanel, it’s more of a prestige brand a store sells. I believe Chanel is primarily carried in their own stores or large department stores like Neimans/Saks and even then only in a select few of their stores. (correct me if I’m wrong!) There are probably very high end boutiques that carry Channel but Envy is a middle of the road store-a notch or so above JCrew. It’s very hard to believe that Melissa didn’t know. (allegedly)
Melissa probably buys hers off the street and if the guy said it’s genuine well why would he lie? He gives her super discounts because she is so stinkin’ Hot
This made Kim D’s day!
I thought it was odd she was selling Chanel too. Their bags start around $3500.00 for the smallest ones so if she sold any for less, she totally knew they were fakes. This should be an interesting season.
I’m glad Kenya is keeping her peach . Her man is FINE.
Congratulations to MJ and Tommy! They really seem to be in love and you have to give the guy credit for winning over MJ’s mom – that lady was a mean-spirited handful, but now she loves him. That’s good for all of them. Looking forward to the next season of Shahs of Sunset.
The whole Chanel thing makes Melissa look pretty shady – but there’s no way she thought they were genuine. There are probably a lot of people in New Jersey who are having a laugh at her expense.
I hope Eddie’s latest procedure was a success – it takes a toll on couples when one of them is suffering ill health. Same with Abby Lee. Even though I didn’t like the way she treated the girls on Dance Moms, I wouldn’t wish what she’s going through now on anyone. Best wishes for Eddie and Abby Lee to have swift recoveries.
Paris Jackson worries me – she seems as though she’s destined for trouble if she doesn’t get help, but it’s just about impossible to help someone who doesn’t want it. Hope all turns out well for her. Despite her wealth, she hasn’t had an easy life.
Why is Caroline Manzo hinting about a new, bigger house? Who really cares?
Brandi? Meh. Nothing against her really but she just doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut. Don’t miss seeing her.
Thanks for all the tidbits, Tamara.
Why would Caroline need a bigger house?? That house is huge and all the kids are gone! At least i’m assuming they’re gone. Aren’t they in their 30’s now? Maybe Lauren has moved back in with the baby? Albert and his brother, Dina’s ex husband, are about to open one of the biggest wedding catering facilities in NJ. It’s called The Legacy Castle. This place is HUGE, and it looks like a castle! It’s around 80,000 sq ft and seats over 1,500 people. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’d never get married there as it’s too big and impersonal but i certainly wish Albert well. I’m sure he’s worked his ass off to get it up and running. I don’t get it but people in Jersey love these places.
British reality star Gemma Collins got in trouble last week for her counterfeit Chanel duffel bag. Chanel does not fuck around with fakers.
Which one is Gemma?
Gemma Collins is from a The only way is Essex. Blonde, plus sized, loud. I find her incredibly funny and entertaining but a lot of people dislike her.
Love all the little info – thank you T!!!!
If LVP is still playing financial chess with Brandi, that is really shit. She’s got no coin and two kids.
Brandi does a pretty good job of screwing herself over and doesn’t seem capable of seeing that she plays a very large role in her own demise. Brandi really needs to learn how to STFU.
True. BUT that does NOT make it okay to go after somebodies coin.
Ever. Its never okay to effect someone’s livelihood (intentionally), if true.
Besides lvp has coin and Brandi doesn’t- and she has children to support, if true, it’s BEYOND disgusting to try and run her out of town financially.
LVP has a seriously ruthless and vicious, maybe even sadistic, side to her.
Oh please, like Brandi is such a truth teller. Brandi has sent some nasty tweets to LVP in the past since she left the show. Let’s see: LVP has two shows that film at the same time, numerous charities and associated events to attend, and restaurants to run, with Tom Tom opening next month. Yeah, LVP has time to obsess and ruin stupid Brandi. Brandi is an ass.
Nothing you wrote is contradicting to what we said.
Everyone who has worked with lvp has called her a sniper from the side.
She also has crews of staff… and shes not the managing owner of any restaurant.
Paris Jackson breaks my heart.
There isn’t a lot her family CAN do… she’s over 18. Sadly, I know this from personal experience with some family members in crisis.
I know that Michael had the best of intentions giving his mother custody, but honestly, their cousin T.J. should have had custody from the get go. (As well as perhaps power of attorney over his grandmother. That 10 day disappearance of hers was very disturbing)
Love this weekly addition TT!
Re: Chanel–about ten years ago I was trying to find the perfect HS grad gift for my fashionable niece. Happened to see a teen–at a funeral of all places–carrying an oversized bag with the Chanel logo, and thought my niece would love it. Told my sister-in-law my plan to buy Chanel and she was overwhelmed. But when I told her what I’d seen, she literally laughed out loud…and then filled me in on Chanel knock-offs. I’d been clueless. Still, I had promised.. Ended up buying a genuine Chanel wallet.. for $800.00..which my niece was afraid to take to college. Lesson(s) learned.
I can’t imagine she was selling replica Chanel handbags in public, or as real. Nobody is that stupid, not even Melissa, surely?
I do believe she was probably selling that jokey knock off merchandise like Kyle Richards Chanel dog bowls, which everyone knows aren’t real, they’re all just a bit tongue in cheek. Or perhaps she was conned by a vendor.
Am I giving Melissa Gorga too much benefit of the doubt?
Idk why do I believe MG? I really like her and hate to see her in trouble. Terry was always so surprised at how naive I could be though so it’s probably me!!
