October 8, 2021 by tamaratattles 67 Comments

RHONJ RecapTeresa Giudice and her new man have moved into their four million dollar house, Clarence Manor, sits on 5.6 acres with 7,728 square feet of indoor living space, and reportedly property taxes run a whopping $74,040 per year. Teresa has four daughters three of which live at home full time. Gia is off at college. Luis has two boys. There are multiple reports of Luis being an abusive boyfriend in previous relationships. It would not surprise me if he just wanted to be on the show. But what really burns my biscuits is how Teresa and Joe Giudice are still living in the lap of luxury. He’s in the Bahamas a lot and also has a lovely life in Italy. It’s like other than the prison time, they didn’t suffer any financial setbacks. And Teresa spent her time in prison working on a book that idiots actually bought. How are they not canceled?

RHOBH Recap

TMZ is reporting that production wants to get right into another season of RHOBH to capitalize on the Erika Girardi drama. Assuming she is up for another season. If she is smart she will ask a helluva raise because RHOBH ratings are up because of all of her ridiculous tall tales. Oh. And she is comparing herself to Jesus being wrongly cruicified. Lisa Rinna sort of took a jab at Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke and Crystal Kung Minkoff, after their LAT interviews. She claimed they were the Fox Fource Five but with only three of them. For some reason, Erika called the entire article, “pure fiction.” I doubt she even read the article. It was not about her.

The above video was supposed to be a first look at the next RHOSLC but for some reason, the links that Bravo provides never goes to the right thing. Le sigh. The last 30 seconds or so of the preview has Mary coming to visit Whitney where she seems sort of giddy about one of her cult members dying in a crazy accident. Why are all the scammers so full of fake accident stories?
Banjo is bored.
In news from the hood, the stolen pit bull has not returned home. Other than that, I’m sleepwalking a lot and waking up with strange injuries. It’s so not cool. Also there was black stuff in my bathroom sink today? I may need to get a video cam to see what I am up to at night. It’s ridiculous. I also apparently call people. Sorry it that is you. Other than that, absolutely nothing is happening over here when I am awake.
What’s going on in you neck of the woods?

    So far I have never slept walk. I did fall off my kitchen chair while trying to reach something on top of my refrigerator. I bruised my coccyx bone

    I can’t believe all these Felons By Bravo seem to get away with murder. I bet EJ settles and gets to keep her job.

    I guess I spend way too much time watching stupid people do crazy shit on the internet. I stumbled upon RHOC alum Gretchen Rossi promoting another MLM (Modere). To quote Shannon Storms Beador, “Are you freakin’ kidding me?”

    Erika Jayne is such a fucking mess, so will anyone be surprised if she returns for another RHOBH season? At this point, I’ll be far more surprised if she calls it quits. She seems to thrive off all this attention.

    I so agree about t and joe seemingly UN affected. Yes I know they went to jail and he got departed. But I feel like the 13 million in BK fraud was never explained fully. Did those people/vendors just lose that money? I remember there were reports of T paying back @ 400k but compared to 13 million in debt it never made sense to me.

    Lisa Rinna is upset that the three most authentic people are the show are getting the praise they deserve. Kathy was showing the all love in the comments while Kyle and Dorit were silent.

    I’ve been making progress in my case with my horse, but as they say, the wheels of justice turn slowly. I have been so stressed and upset so it’s been wearing on my health and making my Graves’ worse, but I do feel better knowing things are moving forward.

    Teresa and Joe in comparison to Erika and Jen did minor things. Though reality not soo minor! But I doubt Erika and Jen will profit or bounce back from this. The magnitude of their crimes is off the charts! Stealing from grandma, orphans and burn victims is lower than low. But as we know Bravo is all about ratings and should just change their name to WE tv. This is how low they sunk Erika and Jen would fit in nicely on Love after lockup. I see that and a Stan in one of their futures! Will say this they need a no holds bar lady to tear down Erika if they want the ratings to continue.

    Will there be a Mafs recap this week???

    I was, unintentionally I believe, fat shamed today by a coworker. It made me feel like shit so of course I internalize it all and promise to go on a diet but then eat all the cheese and snacks in the house because I’m so depressed that I can’t lose weight. Coming off of the Whoopi/Barbara drama from yesterday, I can see how people don’t mean it but damn, it stings none the less.

        Please don’t. It hurts just as much as being made fun of for being overweight. Some people cannot gain weight no matter what. That USED to be me. At least, I can LOSE weight. When I was “too thin” (nowadays I would be tge ideal weight, but not back then). I had NO CONTROL over my weight because no matter what I did, I stayed thin. Then … hormones took over and overnight … I was overweight.

        Being called “Stretch,” as in stretch bra, was the most hurtful.

    I wish the court would subpoena all tape of the season/s in order to use it in their case against Erika and to send a signal that they could be liable if they don’t. Perhaps it would then have Bravo think twice at profiting off of these Felons.
    Plus, garnish Erika’s wages. Then she might think twice about coming back. This needs to end. Bravo is just as complicit.
    I know, it’s farfetched but still…

      The footage from this season has been subpoenaed and transcribed for future possible charges. Plenty of shows that are not on Bravo include felons. This county literally elected a felon. EVERYONE who reports on this situation including me profits off the scandals. Would you rather not have any idea what the fuck is going on? Bravo of all people need to show what is going on. That is why anyone even know who Erika is. All of this “it’s not fair Bravo is making money” crap is utterly ridiculous. The shows are cast to MAKE MONEY. And when one of them commits crimes, it’s not Bravo’s fault. But, it is definitely their job to expose it.

          I wish I hadn’t erased them but I’ll do my best. So we pick up just after Ronald has escaped with the help of his equally crazy girlfriend and one of the mysterious band of Highway cops who all seem to be mixed up in human trafficking and who knows what other nefarious things. Jenny has just been shot and tells Cassie to chase Ronald down before the ambulance takes her away. Cassie tries but Ronald is gone with the wind. Flash forward in time Jenny is home with a nasty wound but ok. She goes to the Sheriff and tells him she wants her badge back. He wants her back and tells her it’s good because now she won’t have to go to him every time she wants a warrant. Jerrie is working full time at the PI agency and carries a gun seeming more like a detective than an office worker- though I don’t think she’s really qualified for that. Mark is still around. He’s suspended because of the Ronald situation but he still has a crush on Cassie and is trying to help her hunt Ronald. Together they (thanks to a neighbors outdoor camera) figure who the patrolman was who helped Ronald and go to his house. They question him and he warns them to drop it. He says “they’re” watching. We don’t know who “they “ are. Neither do Cassie or Mark. He seems very paranoid and for good reason. Later they go back to his house and find him murdered in his living room.

          There’s a drug dealer(?) in the woods. He murders his supplier s as he drops off a tote bag full of drugs? Money? There’s a teenage girl who lives with her mother and her mothers awful boyfriend. She babysits for Cassie. The boyfriend takes her money when she gets home save one small bill. He stares at her and her pretty friend. She’s in the woods with her friends giving them little tattoos. She does hearts and some simple animated characters. She gives her friend a heart on her inner wrist. For some reason I didn’t get she copies it from a stone? Maybe she drew it there first? I didn’t get it but she throws the stone with the drawing towards the street. A bit later there’s a huge crash. The kids go running and see a bloody guy lying on the ground. He tells them to take the bags and run or else they’ll get killed. They grab the bag and barely escape before another guy shows up and shoots the guy on the ground. The kids are freaked out and feel like they can’t call the cops. The bag they have is full of money. We eventually find out $500,000. The girl whose mom has the horrible boyfriend ( I’ll learn their names later) takes it home for some stupid reason and hides it under the floor boards in their shed. Start the countdown till the boyfriend finds it.

          Jenny and Cassie go for drinks and Jenny tells her she’s going back to the force but not abandoning the agency. She sees a guy she knows, he denies knowing her. He’s an undercover cop she used to have a thing with. Working a local case. They have sex and seen really into each other. Later Jenny gets sent to the scene of the accident and finds the rock with the copy of the heart tattoo on it. The accident scene doesn’t look right to her. She keeps the rock, so we know she’ll see the tattoo sooner or later.

          We’re on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Somebody is cooking breakfast humming a tune. There’s dogs in cages everywhere. They take the breakfast to their shed where they open a locked door to reveal Ronald with a metal collar around his neck and a chain a few feet long chaining him to the ground. He’s irate. He’s told to eat like a good dog he’s going to need his strength. Then we see who served him and it’s Legarsky! But how? His wife killed him in the hospital. Twin brother maybe?

          That’s the end of the first two the best I can remember. I haven’t watched this week yet. Let me know if you’re still confused. Xx

              October 11, 2021 at 4:30 pm

              Ronald is the skinny trucker guy who was in league with Legarski.

              At end of Episode 1, the writers set it up to make us question WTF about Legarski. Did he live? Was this a nightmare Ronald was having, or a revenge dream Terri was having? Was it a twin brother?

              We learn in Episode 2, it was the brother. He looks like some sweet farmer with his Earth goddess wife, but he is worse than Legarski.

              Thinking back to the first season, both Legarski and Ronald were turning the girls over to someone across the Canadian border. We do not know if it is a rich Epstein-type person with a crew, or an organization that traffics women. But, as we know from when Ronald accidentally got a “woman” with a “surprise package,” you do not want to cross these people.

              I THINK it likely that Jennie’s undercover guy is in town because he’s connected to the drugs and money that the kids stumbled upon.

              I REALLY hope that evil husband/boyfriend of the mom gets killed. It’s only a matter of time before he molests one of the teens.

          Ok main character breakdown:

          Jenny- pretty blonde white girl who is Ryan Philippe’s widow. Cop and private investigator with a college age son.

          Cassie- pretty black girl. Works at the PI agency owned by Jenny. Had an affair with Ryan Philippe while he and Jenny were separated. Has a young son from her previous marriage.

          Jerrie- pretty white trans girl, sings like an Angel. Brown bob hairstyle. Was taken hostage last season by Ronald and Legarsky. Now works at the PI agency.

          Legarsky- overweight bald white guy. Middle aged. Evil human trafficker. Ron’s boss in the trafficking ring. Highway cop. Shot by Cassie after a stand off. Wakes up in the hospital claiming amnesia. Shot and killed by his wife after she realizes how evil her husband really is.

          Ronald- blondish white guy. Mid 30’s. Super weird. Kidnaps the girls in the big rig he drives. Lives with his super religious mother who he eventually kills. Just as evil as his boss Legarsky.

          Mark- POC maybe middle eastern? Works for the US Marshalls. Is sent to investigate Ronald’s first disappearance. The girls are threatened that he’s going to step on their toes with their investigation. But he’s really cool and helps them a lot. Has a big crush on Cassie.

      Please do. I am heartbroken and I barely knew the dog. He’s really pretty and on the small side. Maybe a puppy. The first thing I do when I wake up is open my curtains to turn the sunshine on for Banjo unless it is raining. The neighbor across the street’s house is actually facing a different street. It’s a huge lot and the dog was in the back yard that I face. Every morning since he has been gone the gate has been open. And so I know he is NOT back home. I’m struggling more than usual this week. But I really want to take Banjo for a walk soon and peep in some back yards. My side of the street doesn’t have houses behind us and there is a walkway and then street behind us where all the houses on my side have back yards.

      There is a very pretty little girl who is always being walked by some kind of dog. The whole “lured the dog out with pizza” thing seems very juvenile to me. I’m not sure where exactly she lives but it is one of the houses on my side of the street. Also, lately there have been a TON of loose dogs just wandering around and I kind of wonder if the kid lets them all out.

      I am way to emeshed in the fate of this dog.

        I absolutely love dogs, and you are such a natural caretaker, I understand your feeling guilty, but I believe it was divine intervention. Who knows what crazy shit may have gone down had you intervened? I was raised Catholic, we were bred to feel guilty, I totally know how you feel. I’m truly sorry.

        On another note, yes, please tell me how Theresa managed to pay back money owed, pay taxes on that monstrosity plus mortgage, have 4 daughters in multiple sports (expensive, take my word for it) and put in a pool? And Joe is traveling constantly? Meanwhile the rest of us schmucks pay our taxes and struggle! I guess crime does pay.

              I mostly just wake up with things in strange places. Or odd bruises I didn’t have when I went to sleep. My biggest fear is falling or leaving the house. 🙁

    There is a metal festival this weekend in my neck of the woods. The pumped up metalheads are coming home to blast more music in case they had some hearing left here at 11pmish, joy, Monday can’t come soon enough🤣 I have this stinking feeling that nothing will come of Erikas money woes, she’ll never be charged, and will just have money stripped. Ugh and she will keep that diamond to sell her updated book, coming thru the ashes, erica Jane rising. I hope not but let’s be real if they wanted to charge her, you think it would of happened by now. Theres nothing you could have done about that dog, they have been stalking it, and the neighborhood to pick the right time to grab it. Just hope its chipped. Love seeing Banjo🥰

      Oh the Feds don’t charge people until years of getting them dead to rights. It could still come. They haven’t even charged Tom yet.

        100%. I guarantee you they are building their case behind the scenes.

          If no one else ends up coming for them, the California Franchise Tax Board and the IRS will.

          It won’t help the victims if there isn’t any money left over after taxes, but at least they might GO DOWN.

          Like Al Capone! When they couldn’t get him on anything else … income tax evasion.

    The bizarre story Mary told about the lady from her church was actually true, it was making the rounds on Twitter. She was a little too happy retelling the story, it was very strange.

    Hi all.
    As usual, I am late to comment. I did want to offer apologies to all here as I have not been myself for a long while. I am severely immunocompromised and my disease has progressed making my aging all the more evident. I was put on yet another steroid which evidently gave me roid rage and I have been super angry about every little thing! I am so sorry if my few comments have been super bitchy. I tried to refrain from comments bc of this, so I’ve been lurking for awhile. It also made me gain a shit ton of water weight which is ALL in my abdomen in a very short period of time so I’ve felt like I’m 9 months pregnant (& all the hormones out of whack too), and at an age where no woman should be pregnant, lol. It’s super uncomfortable and I have to sleep sitting up in a chair bc so much fluid makes it hard to breathe with it all weighing on my lungs while lying down. Sleep deprivation is a really bad thing. Chronic physical and mental pain is the worst. I went so far as to execute a DNR. I was having elevated heart rate issues and palpitations/arrhythmia bc my blood tests were super fucked up and I thought I was going to literally die every day and was scared my cancer was back. I finally found out it is not cancer & the problem is one of my other chronic yet rare diseases. I am going to live… for now, and my roid rage is beginning to resolve as I continue to sweat and pee all the water weight out of me. Not completely out of the woods yet but headed in the right direction. I’m coping a little bit better now but I refuse to die of COVID, lol.

    I feel terrible for being such a bitch and a negative nelly when I did comment! I hope y’all can forgive me! I still don’t trust myself bc I still feel like I am holding so much in and I’m still trying to be a full time caregiver/housekeeper/short order cook for my mom who doesn’t GAF that my health issues are actually more life threatening than hers lately. It’s a crappy situation. I’m so grateful I was able to get my COVID vaccinations very early on & before this presented itself! I now can’t take anymore vaccines including the flu shot or anything else. It made me REALLY MAD at all the anti vaxxer fucktards & I had a pretty good rant somewhere on here about that. I’m now again so completely isolated and feel like it’s Groundhog Day of 2020 all over again. Plus one of my daughters got in a terrible accident bc drunk driver hit her but THANK GOD she’s okay but it freaked me the fuck out. I’m trying to learn more how to be grateful for all my blessings and I do have a lot of those! Y’all being a huge one!

    All this to say…. I am very grateful for the site and everyone here. I feel like it’s a touchstone and it brings me joy/laughter to read everyone else’s comments since I feel like I know y’all. I do sincerely apologize for any bitchiness and want you all to know that I appreciate you all, especially Tamara for keeping the place going. It’s all wreaked havoc on my body as well as exacerbated my already awful anxiety. I still don’t trust myself to comment much but I just wanted you all to know how much I hold you all so dear and I hope I haven’t pissed too many people off permanently. The struggle is real. Especially now that I’m fucking broke. Spent all my money on healthcare after a long career in the field and lost my health insurance (another fucked up story) in the shit state of Texas where our governor is an asshole and Medicaid has never been expanded… and I’m far from alone in this regard since so many others have lost their jobs, homes, healthcare, civil rights, etc since there’s so many who don’t wear masks or get vaccinated here. Don’t even get me started on the other issues our state is making history with, lol.

    Sorry for the long comment I don’t know if anyone will even read at this point. But I love you all & I’m stoked for the RHOBH reunion! I want to go HAM on Erika & am waiting for reunion recaps & yalls comments with bated breath! Love, prayers and grace to all here. ~xxoo 🙂

      Welcome back IJC! I read every word. I’m so sorry for your health issues and your living situation and well, TEXAS at this point in history.

      As for ranting in comments. I don’t remember any of those. I feel like we have a pretty high (low?) bar for rants around here. Most of the people here are used to mine. 🙂 These open forums are the perfect place to blow off steam or just get some emotional support so that you know you know you are not alone.

      You sound like where I was when I found TT. But with WAY WORSE stuff going on. Mine was just chronic pain and a fucked up doctor who thought I was trolling for drugs.

      Please hold on. Do whatever makes you feel better. I discovered CBD late in my pain journey. It really helps a lot.

      Unless they go through it, it is hard for people to understand how longtime health problems will steal everything good in your life away. I thought mine would never get better. But it did. I hope yours does too! So much!

      Don’t worry about people judging or not forgiving you. There are plenty in Tamara’s community who are on your side against the travails. And remember the Serenity Prayer, or if prayer doesn’t work for you, the principle behind the prayer.

        Nanette, your post meant a lot to me. I’ve been watching Mass on Sundays, and it really does help me. My sins at the moment are too many potato chips and not forgiving others when I should.

      Thanks for the replies of support, girls. I’ve missed y’all & I feel lighter (emotionally anyway) for having overshared. I think I need the socialization commenting provides. it’s difficult to be so isolated. I may not live alone but might as well be as my mother is not a participant in hers or anyone else’s actual lives except to yell rude comments from her bed, lol. TT you are lucky to have Banjo & Nanette, lucky to have Cindy the fiancé.

      By the way, I have a ton of expired steroids if Banjo still needs some. Probably have extra that aren’t expired since I had to try different ones that didn’t work. They’re not prednisone but I have some corticosteroids that are basically the same thing. We’d just have to do MATH to figure out dosage equivalents. Let me know!

      I used to watch mass on Sundays. I should probably start doing that again. Thanks for that reminder, Belladonna.

    HEY AUSSIE FRIENDS!

    Is Andrew Bolt from Sky News an actual sane person or a journalist or is he more like the Australian Tucker Carlson?

    Oh Nevermind. I follow Sky News AU on Twitter and say a recent Bolt report. It was very FoxNews. Thanks to Wikipedia I found out I was right.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bolt

    He seems like a scumbag Trump supporter. Who knew they had those in Australia?
