Tonight’s premiere of RHONJ season 11 really snuck up on me! I really thought I’d be down to one recap a night on Wednesdays, but it’s already time to recap RHONJ! I’ve been up since 3:30 am so I’m not excited about at 10pm housewives recap. RHOSLC is not even showing up on my programming guide. It’s been saying TBD in that time slot for a couple of days. I’ll have to stop this recap at 10 and then go try to hit record and see if it works. #fingerscrossed Meanwhile I watched the RHONJ season previews and it looks like it’s going to be a very interesting season. So let’s get to it!
I hate they start with an argument and then roll the clock back. But that is what they are doing now. Margaret is trying to get Teresa and Jackie together to work out their differences and it goes completely tits up. Then we go back three days. Jackie is having a birthday party for her husband. Everyone is tired of being in lockdown and looking forward to actually going somewhere. The husbands are going. Jennifer wonders which of her husbands Dolores is bringing. My guess is both. Also Dolores got a shit ton of surgery and shows Frank all of her scars. She looks like a giant scarecrow that has been sewn together. Margaret has new boobs. I forgot Teresa’s dad died.

The party venue is outside, and it’s raining. There are a ton of people there. Everyone is drinking a lot. Margaret has already been ordained by production to do a weekend girls trip to the lake. Jackie is trying to fix Teresa up with a nice rich man. Ten seconds later Jackie is giving a birthday toast to her husband. Meanwhile, Teresa is spreading gossip that Evan “does stuff” at the gym. She is basically telling everyone that Evan goes to the gym for sex. Teresa is totally making shit up about Evan cheating. Nobody believes Teresa. Who does this? She can’t stand that Jackie is prettier, richer, and has a cute husband. All the while Jackie is making out with her husband.
Apparently, New Jersey Is Full Of Covidiots
Melissa and Joe are having birthday party for Antonia. In a pandemic. First a slumber party, then a beach party. Everybody is taking about Teresa spreading the rumors about Evan. It’s revenge from times Jackie has pissed Teresa off. Dolores’s kid Frankie is living her doctor boyfriend,Dave. Dolores still lives next door with Frank. Dave and Dolores argue over her getting so much plastic surgery without even telling him about it.

Jennifer has moved her dad into her house since he’s not getting along with her mother. The whole family has a big family dinner but her mother didn’t come. Everything looks beautiful in New Jersey. Except the houses. Jackie calls Teresa and asks to speak with her at Margaret’s house. The confrontation is about to go down. Evan didn’t take the gossip news well at all. Jackie has been crying for days.
Jackie Goes To Confront Teresa
First production gives us a montage just a teeny bit of Teresa’s horrific behavior. When Teresa finally arrives, Jackie is crying as she tries to explain how hurtful Teresa’s behavior at Evan’s party was. She slandered his name at his own party in front of all of his friends and cast doubt on his character. Teresa has her dumb face on. Which is pretty much her go to face. Jackie tells her that she needs to go to people and tell them she made the whole thing up. Teresa, unapologetic as always, says she heard it from someone but she can’t tell her who. That is because she totally made the whole thing up for storyline.

Margaret tries to come in and calm Teresa down. Teresa tells Jackie, “Have you ever heard the one, where there’s smoke there’s fire?” I wish Jackie would just belt her in her dumb mouth. Teresa says that she has met a lot of married man now that she is single who think it is fine to fool around. Jackie finally loses it on Teresa. Jackie says she has heard that Gia snorts coke in the bathroom at parties. Should she spread that rumor? Now, Teresa loses it and calls Jackie a fucking cunt.
Off to RHOSLC recap real quick.
This show is entertainment??
Jackie lost this whole disagreement when she said what she did about Gia. I enjoyed Gia putting her mother in her place so much last season. I don’t believe Gia does drugs.
She didnt say Gia did drugs. She used an analogy that carried the same emotional weight as the rumor Tre started to get Tre to see how it made Jackie feel. In no way did she say Gia did drugs.
It wouldn’t surprise me AT ALL if GIA did coke in the bathroom. And Milania is 16 now and driving. And she hasn’t had parental supervision from anyone except Gia for years. These two girls have been through lots of trauma and are getting to the age where they act out.
I agree TT. Touche Jackie. And His is an adult so legally Jackie I think said His as well.
Who on the scenes was face down as s up wasted, and someone said that “every time I see her she’s drinking or snorting something?”
Gia is an adult ugh sorry
Exactly. She is now open for discussion. She is choosing to be on the show at this point. Not saying she does coke in the bathroom. And so what if she does? She’s young. Isn’t that when we’re supposed to do coke in the bathroom?
Brittany, what I certainly did. But we did lines on bar tables, lol. Shhhhhh. 🙂
I read these comments via email and then click to comment So I came her to say I agree with Brittany. But Cheryl B was a total surprise. In the 80s we did coke in the bathroom, right out in public and in my condo in Daytona. lol.
I sadly had to stop because I can’t stop once I start. And at the time I had a minor heart condition that convinced me I might die. But what I would not give to able to do it ONE MORE TIME. lol.
It used to be literally everywhere I went back in the day. Thankfully I haven’t seen any in decades.
I’m ?confused. Your surprised I did coke in excess?
That I haven’t been near it in 40yrs cause there was never enough?
Cause I think it’s not impossible that it is still.at parties?
I am not clear.
HAHA!! This is a late response, but I had to comment. You’re surprised I did coke in excess?? That makes me laugh so hard. Never enough is sooooo true. I cannot go near it these days and I guess I don’t really care anymore. I guess.
As far as if Gia does or does not do cocaine… (and that wasn’t what Jackie was even saying) I just don’t see the big deal AT ALL! A lot of people are acting like Jackie called Gia a pedophile or something!! I would think (maybe because I did) that most people in their 20s are doing or have done Cocaine. I mean, doesn’t everyone deserve to know that incredible feeling of euphoria and happiness? Yes, there is the awful comedown to real life and having that feeling of all things wonderful never coming back, but it’s a lot of fun! I just don’t understand the fury.
I rewatchrd, I guess Jen is the face down ass up wasted “drink and inhaling something” .
I am not certain who is saying that. But in the scenes, it was there. Very sad.
took the words right out of my mouth!
I think you make a really good point TT Gia had a long time with no mom around and then when her mom was released Teresa didn’t parent her at all. She used her as a friend.
Teresa has no empathy so Jackie’s technique fell flat
I can’t believe you took that the same way Teresa did. It was an analogy.
Exactly!
If it was said about my kid, I would have been pissed. She should of said that she heard TreeApe was doing cocaine. I’m of the mind, that if you have beef with me, take it up with me, leave my kids alone!
Wholeheartedly agree. Gia & her sisters have been dragged for no reason. Having both parents go to jail both sets of grandparents passing their fathers being banished from their lives & relocated so far away etc have been traumatic enough. Gia is in California & at school. Yes she is a young adult but is not truly a cast member more like a cameo appearance now & then & its hateful & shameful for Jackie to have used that analogy. Tre & Juicy being called out for their past discretions is fine but Gia certainly did not deserve to have her name & reputation smeared to prove a point. Jackie is smart she knew what she said would set Tre off & start turning over every table in Jackie’s house. Yes Tre was guilty af for bring up a rumour but not as guilty as Jackie for going so low on a young adult who has already been maligned by the tabloid press for having been unfortunate enough to have felons for parents. # Rant over
Agreed 100 percent Marc, I would also remind Jackie she has a daughter too.
If you are doing confessionals, you are getting paid and all bets are off the table.
I agree. She didn’t say Gia did drugs. Tre has a way of gaslighting and tirnnn in g it on the person who she did wrong. Tre shouldn’t have given Jackie a reason to bring that up. I fn hate her. She learned from being an apprentice. Enough said.
I think Tre’s main problem with Jackie is and always has been is that Jackie is just demonstrably smarter than her. The one thing Tre cannot change about herself is her lack of intelligence and she has JUST enough self awareness to know it and resent Jackie for it.
This! Jackie has everything Tre doesn’t … a hot husband (who’s faithful), smarts, and $. Favorite line of the night was “I win”. I’ve never seen Tre so mad. It was a beautiful sight.
As much as I dislike Teresa, Jackie went too far. These girls were practically babies when RHONJ started..they feel like family.
Jennifer’s dad…so sweet
I agree. I love the children too. I way hard them grow up on a television screen in my living room. # invested in these girls lives & future # hoping the best for all of them.
How anyone can defend anything Teresa does is a mystery to me. She spread a rumor, but screamed I HEARD A RUMOR. No bitch, you spread a rumor. Jackie hit her where it hurts, her kids the same way Tre hurt Jackie where it hurts. Tre has always been jealous of Jackie. Of her looks, her body, her family, her $, that was earned and not stolen, her husband. Should she have used Gia? Not really, she could have said she heard Tre does coke in bathrooms but she didn’t. I don’t see the difference in Dolores. Was she fat before? I thought she looked great all the time. I didn’t watch RHOSLC but for a few episodes and couldn’t get into it, so I can’t comment on that one.
I agree Gigi, I didn’t see any difference in Delores either?? She looked really fit before and still does.
Delores is going to run that man right out of her life with the constant whining about when he’s going to put a ring on it. You’re 50 Delores, not 25. It was weird that her son lives with her boyfriend. I don’t get it and don’t buy that he’s there because she yells at the dog.
This opener just reminded me of how horrible Teresa is. I know is wasn’t the best analogy to use, but at that point she had pushed Jackie too far. Teresa was reminded me of Kim D.tonight with all the rumor spreading. Was she trying to create a storyline for herself right out of the gate? It was very odd to go after someone’s husband like that we- especially when you are a guest.
Teresa is a stupid cunt. I did not blame Jackie for the analogy. It wasn’t just Jackie and Evan that could be hurt by the rumor. Jackie’s kids would be hurt by the rumor. It’s most likely that the kids’ friends and classmates would hear this with it being on camera. Teresa is just too stupid to to understand Jackie’s point of how hurtful and damaging unfounded rumors can be.
I get what Jackie was doing, but it was jarring. Teresa will NEVER forgive this and will become even more vindictive. Teresa really is such a disgusting human being.
yes, this…..Teresa is vindictive, nasty and completely unforgiving. No wonder Jackie ends up refusing to film.
I’m sorry. But I think Jackie was just fine making the comparison. The only problem I have with it was it was on TV and broadcast to the world. But reality is what it is. And don’t understand the people who don’t think it might be a true accusation.
True or not, I had no problem with the way Jackie said that to Teresa. She made her point, although Teresa is too narcissistic to get it. I’m so tired of these people using alcohol as an excuse to be the meanest people in town.
SO MUCH plastic surgery with this cast! I barely recognized a few of them, especially Melissa. Not only did Margaret get new boobs, but she has a whole new face! She looks great though.
What does “does stuff ” at the gym mean? Was Teresa implying that Evan has gay sex at the gym? Is it a coed gym? Inquiring minds want to know.
Teresa and Melissa are desperate for a storylines. They will lie about martial issues, and throw anybody under the bus (Jackie) to create drama. Drama is good television, and good television generates checks. Teresa has always been an awful person. She thinks she runs the show.
Yes, Teresa thinks she runs the show and I’m sick of her. I’d love to see her go.
Teresa does run the show. They have never filmed the show without her. She is a constant source of drama and entertainment. She needed a story line, so she started a rumor. I would not be surprised if she was fed the rumor by production. Now she is “wronged” by Jackie, and that can carry her the rest of the season. I hope it doesnt, but half of the cast will say that Jackie said Gia did coke. Jackie knew this would immediately hit a major nerve; she is smart, far smarter than Teresa.
I cant get over the changes in Margaret, she has done too much to her face. It actually makes me sad for her.
I haven’t watch Jersey in a few years but good way to start again. I skip all the scenes with Jennifer. There’s something about her that she’s trying too had and over the fake. Now to Jackie and Teresa, this is a perfect example of Teresa showing her ignorance… Jackie user an analogy and obviously she doesn’t know what an analogy is. Idk what going on in Teresa head because attacking someone’s family expect the person to say something back and Jackie hit a nerve! yes was it wrong but it’s the same thing as attacking someones husband. Tersea can’t play that children are off limits because back in the early seasons had no issues putting in her book about Abby and Chris’ car wash idea, those are Caroline’s kids aren’t they off limits
Touché! I had forgotten that but perfect example of Tre wanting it both ways.
I wonder what is the story with Teresa’s real estate agent Michele coming with her to this party. Bc Joe had a smile like something wild was up when Teresa arrived with her. And Teresa also asked Melissa what she thought of her “date”. Melissa replied that she hoped she brought a man instead. That same agent is seen at a preview scene telling Jennifer, Joe had a bad business with her husband. But is she talking about Giudice or Gorga? Is this another takedown attempt by Teresa from the get go?
I think this is a takedown attempt by Teresa. She’s like a viper- even to her family. I think there is some bad business between her brother Joe and the real estate agent or her husband. Something like bills not being paid or something. did I read that somewhere?
Anyway…would not put anything past Teresa, she’s one of the dumbest, fakest and cruelest people on any of the HW series.
I don’t know if it is just me, but during COVID I can’t take all the negativity on the shows. These characters’ (Teresa & Madison to name 2) hateful behavior is just not what I want to fill my brain with during a time where we are all struggling. Give me Marge, give me Jackie, give me Craig, give me Danni, give me Heather. Give me people who make laugh and think. I get it the drama brings the paycheck, but it has blows have become so, so low and ugly. It’s COVID bravo, make us laugh!
My sister told me the same thing when I asked her if she saw the OC reunion. She said she can’t take all the hatred and the more I think about it, the more she’s right. OC was full of hate and this was during the election when hatred was running wild. Even Southern Charm (like you said Janfan – Madison), same thing, just hate. Didn’t watch SLC why do I want to watch Tre lie, scream, be passive aggressive, play dumb or just be dumb all the while we, the viewers, are paying her salary? I want more fun on these shows too. I think we all have gapers delay. We watch wanting an explosion..
Everything you said JanFan! Bravo moved in the right direction with Nene, Maybe Theresa is next!
OH burn!! Jackie’s analogy actually makes me want to start watching NJ again instead of just reading TT’s recaps.(I’ll just do both!) Theresa hit below the belt and Jackie gave it back to her.
I loved watching Jackie outwit Theresa during last season’s reunion. Maybe Gia can explain to Theresa exactly what happened? She’s always seemed so wise.
Is Dolores going to blindly follow Theresa again this season? Maybe she’s smart to do so because Theresa has always been the star of this franchise Well maybe behind Dina who I LOVED. I see Jackie giving her a run for the title.
Does anyone else get a kick out of Melissa’s style transformation? Girl has come a long way fashion wise. Housewives always transform as the seasons progress but she truly created a different person.
It’s the Bravo Morphing into Kim K. They all do it. The blondes tend to morph into Pan Anderson.
For sure production is going to do a hit job on Teresa this season. I expect a bad edit. Clearly Teresa’s rumor at Evan’s birthday party was production driven.
I would like to see much less of greasy, sweaty Joe and Frank and none of the plastic surgery guy. Save your reputation. I see just enough of Evan. Bringing the husbands into this is just not something I want to see. Joe and Frank are already famewhores.
Why Bravo?
I completely agree. It all seems sooo fake…you can tell by how blown up everyone’s reaction was that this season Teresa is the villain picking on poor sweet Jackie and her husband. The next day of course everyone is talking about it and blowing it up. These shows are so tired and overly produced. Give me authentic drama or no drama at all. Like Crazy ass Mo from RHOP…she flipped out and it was not a stupid production set up like this or Kenya with the stupid trip.
Ugh, Teresa is a jerk. There is nothing redeeming about Teresa at all. I really like Jackie because she seems calm and smart. I actually like Melissa a ton compared to Teresa. Also, and I may be in the minority, but I think Gia and Melania talk to Teresa like scum. I think they are super disrespectful, but I also understand that Teresa has never had good boundaries with her children.
Okay…rant over. Teresa is awful.
Because Teresa deserves no respect. I don’t care that she’s a mother. Her daughters don’t seem stupid so they must realize that her felonious activities weren’t all Joe’s fault. They know what she did. I wouldn’t mind Melissa staying and Theresa getting the boot.
Teresa is a horrible mother who has given her kids stuff but not set boundaries. Joe is a horrible person too but at least he had some boundaries for the kids which is why they miss him so much. Teresa’s kids disrespect her because she is too busy working and pawning them off on other people. How can you be a role model when you go to jail for scamming people? Gia and Milania are both pretty smart kids and they are not fooled by the writer of a cookbook who never cooks.
Last thing….I love that Jackie gave it right back. I love it!!!
Serious question, has there ever been a season where Teresa isn’t sh#t talking about someone?? Then she ends up the victim
The Narcissism is rank in most of the Bravo series, but never so obvious at New Jersey. Question: Do we want to watch ‘messy ignorant entitled egos’ flaunt their own self importance and inflame ire?
Why exactly can’t there be a better experience where people can be a part of a more enlightened living?
Theresa is a gutter-fighting, mean, vindictive and self-absorbed person whose looks are quickly dissolving before her eyes. At least Jackie can slay her with her intelligence, and unfortunately (for Theresa) she never really understands that Jackie is truly the ‘winner’. in any intellectual endeavor, Theresa will loose, and she will be left with not even understanding how she lost. its pathetic. She has passed her ‘ Sell-By Date” and there is no more pity/’so sad you didn’t understand what you were signing at the time and all those ghost writers that filled your coffers while you vilified family members for trying to carve out any kind of business remotely related to you and your perceived empire’.
I was friends with a woman similar to Theresa, and when she realized some aspects of her desire for revenge against her ex-husband was ill-advised (by me) and could never seem to grasp the concept of ‘Rising Above/Taking The High Road/Returning too much cash given back by a cashier as if it were a gift from god’; I was blatantly faced with the realization that many people have a different personal value system.
It just feels as if Theresa is functioning a if she can do no wrong ever. She is delusional at best. She needs to recognize that she has not developed her OWN intellect and reached for more; she has NOT taken responsibilities for her culpability in her previous husband’s business dealings other than doing her time and pushing the blame onto Joe (NARCISSISTS NEVER EVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING EVER. Theresa was too simple to recognize the analogy Jackie posed, and where did T go? Her best defense “She brought up my kids… f-her, blah blah blah.’
Sorry girl, been there/done that… you are ignorant and apparently just a men, aging (ungracefully), MEAN-girl who is jealous and insecure.
Just my ‘Two-Cents”, but hey?!
THIS!!!
That hour went very, very quickly. I agree with everyone who said that the analogy Jackie used to try to get Theresa to understand how damaging Theresa’s comments about Jackie’s husband were. Theresa is not aging well — mentally or physically. I’d be happy if this is her last season on the show. She really doesn’t add anything to the mix anymore.
Tamara, the comment about the houses is spot on. Margaret seems to be taking her house from bad to worse with every remodel she does. Some of the other houses are just as overdone as the women living in them.
I did enjoy seeing Delores’ son, Frankie. I was a little confused about why he’s living with David, but then I remembered how overbearing Delores is and what a muscle Frank is and understood his decision to live with David.
I am watching Wendy Williams right now. I get it that Norman has to constantly explain things to Wendy but she often has no clue what she is talking about. I’d love to be able to engage you guys without watching some of these shows (not this one) but Dayum Wendy! You have people you can pay to watch this shit and give you the tea and you can’t follow a damn thing? Is she on something?
I do love Wendy for saying that Gia is a grown woman. Personally, I agree with Wendy. Whose opinions come from Norman and the team. It was two things that are the same. Trying to destroy people’s families.
Yep! And Jackie’s, much younger than Gia, children would’ve been destroyed hearing from their friends (because kids do listen to grown people’s conversations) that their daddy was screwing other women when he went to work out.
I remember Teresa, seasons ago, screaming at people for saying Joe Guidice was screwing around. Teresa is a hypocrite…no she’s an illiterate, moronic hypocrite!
Theresa is as vicious as she is stupid – always a bad combination. She attacked Jackie so Jackie attacked her back, attempting to use an analogy that could make Theresa understand the hurt involved when rumors are spread about a family member. Jackie is super sharp and no punk. Now Theresa will play the “kids are off limits” card, likely for the rest of the season, despite the fact that she has purposely put her kids in the public eye on this show since they were little. Gia was used as a storyline years ago by Theresa when she was on the outs with her brother. I’ll never forget Gia as a little girl crying as she read her poem about wanting her uncle and mother to stop fighting and how much it hurt her. I thought at that time that it was disgusting that Tre allowed that scene to be filmed, and knew at that moment that she was pimping out her kids for a storyline (which equals money). So now she’ll have the nerve to whine about Jackie “using her child” for the rest of the season. Theresa is trash.
Do you remember the song? That was the worst thing I think I have seen any of the Housewives do to their children. We could make a list of shitty shit that housewives did to their children. Gia singing that song about her Mother was awful!!
Teresa was totally getting back at Jackie….In my opinion. Jackie has stanned her for years and after getting cast seems to relish in being the only person who stands up to Teresa….I bet this is Jackies final season 🙂
I hope so. She is not a good fit with this cast. I do not like her while I admit she is an accomplished smart woman who is in the company of women who are nothing like her. I want to see Tre Dolores Margaret & Melissa ( real N.Jersey women ) & not the likes of Jackie & Jennifer on a show like this. I miss Dina & Caroline & would even put up with Danielle Staub if we could just get rid of Jackie & Jennifer! They add nothing to this mix of minks loud mouth husbands & general Jersey bravado.
You might have a point about Jackie not fitting in with the stereotype of the “typical Italian Jersey girl”- if that is actually supposed to be the point of the show.
It sounds like you consider ‘real NJ women’ to be unintelligent. This show has NEVER been about real NJ women. It’s always been about stereotyping Italian-American women.
And men. My husband cringes when he sees how goomba the Italian men are on the show. It’s embarrassing.
I hope it’s not Jackie’s last season. She’s the only one (along with Melissa) that I enjoy.
Teresa is the cunt. She realizes the only easy way to make money is to keep the reality train running….and little TRE, the train stop is coming soon and you will be getting off the train and wondering where ther fuck your next paycheck is going to come from. Bitch , good luck.
Nope I can forgive or ignore people who screw with me or have screwed me over. You come for a member of my family, shit is scorched earth. I would have drug her uncouth low class ass, her dead family members, her kids and the grandkids she doesn’t have yet. She will be lucky if all Jackie does is cry and use a “bad” analogy.
I’d wipe the floor with Theresa if she said anything like that to me. She’d just stare back like the slack jawed idiot that she is.
I was surprised at Jackie’s approach. Theresa is somewhat predictable. When Jackie told Theresa that she had to admit that she made it up and had no evidence, what did Jackie expect Theresa would do, apologize to Jackie and Evan and tell everyone that she made up the rumor. .,. I don’t think so. Mentioning Gia takes her down to Theresa’s level and Theresa always wins.
Think outside the box Jackie. Sue Theresa for defamation. Jackie’s a lawyer and could win in court and not pay legal bills like Theresa would.
She doesn’t have grounds to sue, as a lawyer, Jackie knows this. There are 4 requirements to prove it. This situation only meets one, and even that is a grey area It’s also in their Bravo contracts that they can not sue each other. Essentially they can say anything and not be held accountable. If crimes are committed, like assault, that is not protected under the contracts. They can go after them to the full extent of the law. They would never be able to sue for damages though. If they break they contract they are done with Bravo for life. I feel they were both wrong. It doesn’t matter if one is more “wrong” then they other. They have both wronged each other over & over. It won’t stop. It’s the Housewives life cycle. Say something stupid. Fight. Talk it out. Apologize. Move on. Then the cycle begins again.
Jackie was wrong to bring Gia into this and put that out there! Two wrongs don’t make a right! Agree, maybe she should sue Teresa for defamation? Teresa’s girls have had to deal with so much due to their criminal parents and have grown into young ladies in spite of the parents. Gia held the family together and really lost her childhood. She is way smarter than her mother! It’s shameful that Bravo gives criminal Teresa a platform and she continues to earn tons of $$$ after screwing so many people and going to prison. Teresa is always the victim – blames Joe for the whole thing – she was a part of it too. Looks like this entire season will be TG taking Jackie down – Jackie will be gone after this season.
I like the season so far.
I like the talented fighting. If you are going to go after each other, do it well!
I think Jackie knew exactly what she was doing when she made the “analogy” about Gia. Listen, I cannot stand Teresa. I think she is horrible. But it is fucked up that now there are dozens of headlines about Jackie saying Gia does coke in bathrooms. Even though the content says different. I would be so embarrassed and completely mortified if I was 20 years old and that was in the press about me. Teresa was absolutely in the wrong, but Jackie is intelligent enough to make an analogy to prove her point that doesn’t involve cocaine and someones child. Jackie was the only one I liked, and now I am completely done.
I might have to put my foot in my mouth. I just remembered Teresa writing shit about Chris Manzo in her cookbook. He was also 20, 21 at the time right? I think I gotta take back my previous comment because Teresa has the same thing years ago.
Theresa has put Gia (and to some extent, her other children) in the public eye, and therefore in harm’s way, since they were small children. As their mother, she exposed her children and made them vulnerable, by showcasing them on this show. When Gia was just a little girl, she had Bravo film her at a very vulnerable moment while she was crying, reading the poem she had written about the fighting in her family.
Theresa has whored Gia out since she was a vulnerable child for storylines, for the almighty dollar. Theresa is responsible for this recent mess. It’s not as if Gia has been “off limits” in any way for a very long time.
Now the mouth-breathing thug is going to play the “children are off limits” card because someone used her 20 year old in an analogy? Nah- not buying it.
So Tre and her new bf bought a house together but its only business? Am I the only one thinking of how awesome it would be for the bf to scam Tre and leave her with nothing? She deserves it. She is a shit person with nothing good to offer. I hope Jackie puts her out to pasture where she belongs.
Someone please refresh my memory: wasn’t there a previous season where someone said, as an analogy, “What if such-and-such was said about YOU?” and dumb-as-a-stump Teresa took it as the person actually said the example rumor was true. Or was it another Housewives series? I have such a sense of deja vu, but too tired to try to look it up 🙂
So dumb that so many people think Jackie was saying that about Gina, not just giving an example of how hurtful repeating an unfounded rumor can be.
I think everyone missed a chance here to elevate and move away from the total misogyny of this show – If Jackie had chosen to openly mock the rumour (not Teresa) then so much would have been gained and it would have been more entertaining, edifying etc rather than the whole thing feeling icky.
To me, it would have shown her intelligence more.
Better choices producers.
