It’s a busy recap night at TamaraTattles.com! First we have a RHONJ recap, followed by the first part of the RHOD reunion. There is no time to waste so let’s get right to the Jersey girls.
We start with the Gorga family headed out for ice cream. Melissa and Joe tell the kids she wants another baby. No one thinks this is a good idea. No one. Joe gets the startingly news that middle schoolers get sex education. She is 13! That sort of thing should start much earlier!
I do not understand why Danielle is on this show. I also do not understand how Danielle and Marty are still living together. When was this filmed. They both had restraining orders on each other during the divorce. But that was in 2018. I knew there were issues with this season but surely this had to be filmed after all of that. Teresa drops by to invite Danielle to an event. And it is going to be AN EVENT TO REMEMBER. Danielle and Marty somehow blame Margaret for the demise of their marriage. Teresa agrees. But Teresa is dumber than a box of rocks. What is Marty’s excuse?
It Is Nothing Like Robin Hood, Joe
Gia and Teresa go shopping for her prom dress. Unlike her mother, Gia has a classic style. And a fully functioning brain. Joe calls during the shopping experience and Teresa and Joe fight over money. Teresa says that Joe left her with no money. She is paying for everything including Joe’s lawyers. Teresa starts bitching about their prenup. Joe says he never wanted to marry her in the first place.

Gia has to explain to Teresa that she doesn’t want to be involved in her parents fight. Another high school memory has been marred by Teresa and Joe’s constant bickering.
The Aydin family celebrates Orthodox Easter by cooking an entire lamb, head and all. It scares the kids. After the traumatic dinner, the oldest daughter has a conversation with her mom and grandmother about the church’s views on homosexuality. Last week we learned that Jennifer’s brother is gay. Grandma lies and says that her son is not gay. She seems to be one of those “pray the gay away” types. Apparently, Gabby is discussing sexual orientation with her school counselor.

Melissa, Teresa and Margaret go out to dinner. They talk about the upcoming shopping event. Danielle will be there and none of them want her there. Margaret says she wonders if Danielle and Teresa are more than just friends. Danielle RSVPed that she will be wearing a very expensive outfit to the event.
Prostitution Whore!
Danielle shows up in a hideous Versace (knockoff?) ensemble. She has her feet stuffed in pointed high heels that are at least a half size too small. Teresa laughs at all of Danielle’s snide comments about Margaret.

All the women except for Teresa are avoiding Danielle like the plague. They are talking about the guys poker game where they looked up Danielle’s porn. They laugh and giggle and have a good time while Teresa hangs with Danielle. Danielle whines to Teresa about the other girls and their mean girl behavior. That’s hysterical.
Teresa and Danielle go to confront the others about their treatment of the prostitution whore. Danielle calls Margaret “trout mouth.” Teresa screeches at Margaret. Delores is unhappy with Teresa, and that takes a lot! Danielle and Margaret get into a screaming match and Danielle chest bumps her. More insults are exchanged and then Margaret dumps here entire drink on Danielle’s head. Danielle starts breaking things in the store. Things that we were conveniently told the prices of before this all began.
Then Danielle kisses the store owner, turns on her heels and starts dragging Margaret by the hair.
To be continued…
Just watched it. I agree with you, I don’t understand why we are still looking at Danielle on this show. I realize Teresa is limited, but is she really this stupid??? This episode just shows her to be a moronic idiot when confronted with fact after fact about Danielle and she stands there blabbering trying to defend Danielle, but cannot utter one sensible statement in defense. I truly feel like an idiot for watching this shit.
It almost defies imagination that Teresa and Danielle believe that it’s Margaret’s fault they divorced! Danielle just wants the house and is playing Marty (who I thought was smarter than that) so he’s following Danielle like a puppy and blaming everyone else for the divorce, rather than the psycho woman he married.
When Marty chose Danielle over his children, that did it for me.
Danielle obviously found some bones buried in Teresa’s back yard and is holding them over Teresa’s head.
Kjean, you are in my head, I was thinking the exact same thing.
Love your nic! Go pokes! ?
I really don’t know why I’m more shocked about the prenup Joe made Teresa sign. Makes me so confused since perhaps her assets are protected and she can divorce him?
There was no prenup. No way and for what? Did Joe have money when they got married?
I get the feeling more of you guys watch RHOD than RHONJ. AMIRITE?
Both have gotten stale. I usually watch Jersey more than Dallas, but watched both tonight. I would be good if both shows were replaced.
I did watch this show tonight but I am of course very very partial to RHOD. I will say that RHONJ was wild tonight at that store. I don’t know why Danielle is still on this show either but I have a feeling that the last 10 minutes of the show is why. Bravo seems to love it when the women get physical and/or screech at each other.
I am not a Teresa or Joe fan but I have always thought that Joe is disrespectful to Teresa. Joe telling Teresa where Gia could hear him he never wanted to marry her was very hurtful. It’s out there forever now. Immigration issues aside, those two should get a divorce. Obviously no love or respect left there.
I watch NJ but not Dallas. I just could not take on another RH show.
Same here. I don’t watch RHID or RHOP. I had enough screeching without two new shows. If I want more screeching in my life, all I need to do is accidentally sleep in and feed the chickens late. And they have a good reason to screech then.
I may watch the Salt Lake one. I have photojournalist friends who live there — Mormons and not — and they are the craziest smart non-drug people I’ve ever known. It must be the salt water.
NJ is generally a DVR and I’ll get to it when I get to it. Especially last week with Jackie’s dads comments. I read that here and decided to pass on it. Love Dallas! Wasn’t happy about them rescheduling all of OC and Dallas just getting pushed back.
This is the second season I haven’t watched NJ. I’m very behind on Dallas but I will be watching all my DVRd episodes…um, someday?
I don’t watch RHONJ and haven’t for 4 – 5 years. Don’t know the current newer ladies. I got turned off watching Teresa before I finally gave up on whole show. Don’t usually see the recap, but decided to read today. I love TT’s blog and watch the other shows and read here. Thank you Tamara. I watch RHOD and have enjoyed it, but this year the new girl, Kary, has turned me off. And getting tired of D’Andra whining about her mother not giving her more money!
I think Marty wants his 15 minutes of fame . They’re together during filming . They’re really should be jail time to excuse someone of abuse & it not be true. How could Danielle stay with him if he really abused her & daughters? She’s really certifiable & I think he is too
Why do some of these women think it’s okay to assault each other? Don’t pull hair, slap, or throw drinks. My God if this was the real world you’d be in a world of hurt.
I always think Bravo production screws up by making the Housewives shows incredibly unrealistic. Who DOES this stuff in reality and gets away with it?
No way do I believe these shows are “real”. I record NJ and watch it when I am working on fiber. It’s junk food tv to me.
it’s rare there are any repercussions.from assaulting someone on the show in fact it’s usually the opposite. The show benefits from the press as it brings in more viewers so they reward the aggressor in private while gently slapping their wrist in public. It’s a win win for all concerned except i’d assume for the person who was assaulted but who knows? The world of TV and especially Bravo is one fucked up place.
I would have dragged her ass to! She poured that whole drink on her, what was she expecting after that? Hello
It’s not great to pour water on someone’s head, but Danielle was once again getting pretty lowdown with her insults. I think I would have snapped at about that point, too, and a water dump does far less damage than dragging someone across the room by the hair.
No ones what reaction you may have did! Sorry so don’t play ya self! Period Pooh
Ummmm, ?
I’m with you… What was being said??
Well, I can’t argue with that.*
*Mostly because I can’t make out a word of it.
Giggle. I tried, really I did!
Maybe Shirley was having a seizure? The cat climbed on her laptop?
It’s funny, I was saying exactly the same thing the other day!
. ; )
Agree 100%, water was not great, but Danielle was verbally assaulting her, as well was taking the aggressive stand by coming at her right in her face! Shirley: Daniele showed her true cowardly self by coming at her behind her back when everything was totally dissolved! Not cool. This is exactly what is wrong with today’s young people. You do not come after someone from the back..? I would press charges, and The legal system do their thing. Hopefully this will resolve their disputes. But Teressa has to get it together, she can’t be that out of it, it must be for storyline…right?
That’s what I’m wondering. It’s obvious Teresa is limited, but it’s gotten so ridiculous that it’s not even believable.
Now granted, I haven’t seen the episode yet, I only read the recap but are you referring to the women on the show as, “today’s young people”?? Most of the women on the show are in their mid fifties. Hardly over the hill (I”m 56) but not exactly a spring chicken. (altho lately my legs are lookin’ like a chickens-wtf is up with that? )
I despise Danielle with a passion. If I were in Margaret’s shoes I would have mollywhopped the F out of her. Daniella is trash and has no business being on any tv show let alone one about housewives. She’s fucking garbage and needs to go away. I’m no Teresa fan but the most accurate thing to ever come out of her mouth was calling Danielle a prostitute whore.
We are only talking about Jersey because of Danielle. I think the real star is Jennifer’s mom. Laughed while watching her drink her lies away. Tough spot to be in, trying to hide the reality of your son while needing to accept and LOVE.
Margaret and the ladies don’t get to mock Danielle without getting dragged.
Bye bye Jennifer and Gorga.
Thank you!!! Marge talks the worst shit about everyone! And Jennifer was great but shes falling for that melissa gorga passive aggressive bs. Am I crazy or did jennifer bust a glass like she was going to shank a chick? Now everyone is anti violence . Please. TeamTre all day
So is Margaret going to press charges like Danielle did with Ashlee
Oh, here we go…
Can they clog up the court system more? These HWs have overstepped, stepped on each other, for what, screen time? It’s truly ugly.
Thank goodness in my brown liqour drinking days I sucked at actual fighting, even when I tried hard to fight, I was horrible at it and usually begged forgiveness, offered ice or a shoulder to cry on. IMO these women are all lost, they all need intense therapy.
Ah, yes … the brown liquor … I remember those days. Actually, I lblacked out during lots of them…
That would be “unbeweavable!!“
I just did some checking. As of April 1st, Bravo’s website was still talking about Danielle’s engagement to Oliver Maier, the “Duke of Provence”. On tonight’s episode, when Margaret read Danielle’s text about the shopping event, it was dated April 23. So the engagement must’ve ended sometime in between, I’m guessing. As she blatantly told Teresa a little while ago, she’s determined to have that house “as a legacy” for her daughters. I guess when Oliver sobered up & came to his senses, she realized she had to seduce Marty all over again! She’s positively deminic. If Marty is dumb enough to think with his little head a 2nd time, I’ll have no sympathy for him when he loses that $2M house!
I don’t even understand how she gets these men looking the way she does… her face looks like it’s beginning to melt
Most men dont care about the facial features, body and performance matter more. Lol, I see her as a 2 trick pony as they say.
You echoed my statement exactly. Too bad Marty isn’t as smart as I thought he was….
RHONJ just aired in Las Vegas. What a crap fest it was tonight. I felt so sorry for Gia. That poor girl has the weight of the world on her shoulders and she’s handling it so well. The scene in the store was insane. I get the impression the store owner wasn’t allowed to boot them out of the store because he was probably being well compensated for letting them shoot there. I hope this is the last season we have to be subjected to Danielle.
Compared to the last few years, going away for college, the pressure to academically perform well, make new friends and navigate a new area will be a cakewalk for Gia.
You are so right about that, Nanette.
I was over New Jersey but watched because it was on before Dallas… not a Teresa fan but I think that scene with Joe on phone was the most real she has ever shown… question why would joe ask for a prenup? Was it really to maybe get out of getting married, too scared because families were friends… & they’re both right, she spent his $ (well kinda his debatable, “barrowed” better term) but since he has been gone she has paid off things & taken care of family on her own plus legal bills for him still.
Just curious & would love to know the truth about those too…
At that point, I probably would have told him to find someone else to pay his damn legal bills and hung up.
Not happening. He’s got her by the short ones now and I couldn’t be happier. Women who marry for money and continue to commit crimes for money deserve what they get.
Go Margaret! You awesome girl!
I am not a fan of Teresa, but I thought it was disgusting how Joe spoke to her. I think it was crazy that Gia was telling her not to provoke and pick at him. He was disrespecting Teresa in front of their daughter.
Again, Bravo, please reconsider the current cast. Leave us with the fun ones…please! They don’t have to be Italian to be from Jersey!
And please stop the Gross Chewing On Air. Gia.Teresa.
Upper Saddle River, back in the day TT, we got the period movie in 5th grade, I think. It was a looooong time ago. USR is definitely more old money than Montville. I can’t remember when it went full on sex ed. More than likely 7th or 8th grade, but definitely health class in 9th. This was the late 60’s early 70’s. I do remember the permission slip for the period movie.
We got the “period class” in 5th grade. Lots of girls start earlier now. They didn’t talk about sex, just our periods and passed around a little belt with the napkin attached — no sticky pads back then. The movie was called “Growing Up and Liking It” and I think it was produced by Modess. We all were appalled when the girl in the movie “started” and the mom said, “Your father will be so proud.” Wait! Dad will KNOW! The concept of our dads knowing was too much.
That perfectly describes my life in 5th grade, lol.
My southern Baptist mother would not let me play the game Operation as a child because, naked person. We never had the talk. I had no idea about periods at all. I was in the fifth or sixth grade at home when it happened. I saw blood in the toilet and thought I was dying. I literally didn’t know I had a vagina. I screamed and my mother came in. She said, “Oh, you are a woman now. This will happen for the rest of your life.”She handed me a huge pad for my underwear. End of discussion. I was confused again when it stopped.
Okay, completely off topic but I must share this: coming from a medical family I was given the talk and picture books before kindergarten. It scared the shit out of me. Then when I had my own kids and they came up with a cutesy name for their private parts, I went with it, figuring that when they were older and appropriate age I would give them the talk with the anatomically correct words.
One visit with my mother and she was adamant that my daughter call it by it’s correct name, even after my giving instructions to the contrary.
Well, grandma took her to the big bookstore to spoil her with books and after waiting in the long lines at Christmas time, daughter who was probably 3, saw the decorated stick ponies in the enticing displays near the checkout. After asking grandma multiple times if she could have one, and grandma telling her no multiple times, the kid finally YELLED AT TOP OF HER LUNGS in front of the entire store,” Well, grandma, if we can’t buy it and we’re going to be in line forever, CAN I JUST PUT IT ON MY VAGINA AND HOP AROUND ON IT FOR A WHILE?”
I wasn’t there, but once told, I don’t know if I’ve laughed that hard since. She continued to do this only to my mother in public and never once with me or my husband… like every time grandma took her out to eat she asked the waiter/waitress if they had a penis or a vagina.
I just told my mom that what she deserved for being inappropriate and not respecting my parenting choices. Still makes me LOL when I think of it! ?
LOL! I barely recall a story about when I was a kid. My father was a deacon, but probably not at this time and my mother was religious and didn’t think drinking was acceptable (at least not to the public). Apparently, we passed liquor store or something when my Grandma was visiting and I was like four or five and I asked, “Are you not going in to get your beer” or something like that….
Kids know.
The irony of Danielle pulling hair is not lost on me. Where is Jacqueline when you need her?
I hope she brings one of those doll heads to the reunion ….. lol … wearing a $2 Hanes wife beater with a Tom Ford skirt …. classic… I guess she bought the skirt first & ran out of money
Ummm Jackie’s husband never goes downtown?!
What kind of prenup would Joe have needed 20 years ago? I am intrigued on this point- he was in his 20’s when they married …
Kay, I wondered the same thing. Did his family have money that we don’t know about?
Methinks that 20 years ago Joe was already shifting/hiding/whatever his assets. Generations of shady books. Probably why they kept doubling down—even when family “connections” got caught in the past they still got away with it.
I don’t believe the prenup story at all. Teresa is a lying liar who lies.
Teresa lying about it makes much more sense than there actually being a prenup.
I saw the video where danielle says what she did to Margaret is nothing like the torture Ashley put her through, she claims the yank was so bad she hit her head on pavement and got 5 stitches. The video doesn’t show a fall and i am pretty sure the court docs didn’t mention stitches.
Is she even remembering the correct incident?
These women, all the Housewives actually, act like total morons in public. Production has to pre-plan these blowups, what business owner would actually be okay with grown ups causing a scene and damaging property. I’m going out for supper tonight, maybe I’ll throw a glass against the wall and slam some plates. I’m sure management won’t mind. My mom might though, so I better not try it.
Melissa seems like the only (somewhat) level headed person on this show. These hens are self-righteous loudmouths. Yet, I can’t quit watching ?.
I agree with everyone about Danielle, but the show has proven why they brought her back on the show people can’t stop talking about her whether it is positive or negative she is the main topic. On the show the ladies and I use that term loosely also can’t seem to go through a conversation without bringing her name up at some point.
Anyone else notice Danielle stepping to Marge, in her face, while screaming stay away from me! Get away from me! As she steps closer and closer? Ha!
Yes!!
I can’t get over how dumb Teresa is. It boggles MY mind.
Never liked Danielle but girl has game for sure. She’ll never be able to buy that house and Marty will kick her out when he finds his next sociopath.
I wasn’t quick enough to fast forward past Joey and Melissa. The I’ll give you banana later and the whole sex talk in the ice cream shop? Mind boggling.
