Real Housewives of New Jersey: Did Jacqueline Laurita Claim Teresa Giudice Caught Joe Cheating? Was It In Retaliation To Teresa Implying Jacqueline's Husband Was Cheating?

[This post is brought to you by Teresa's Season 1 hair]

Yes another RHONJ story. Something new just came to my attention. It starts again with the RHONJ women's Bravo blogs - well, one in particular - of course, Teresa. In it, she made a very salacious implication with her word choices.  Teresa wrote, (almost in blind item format):

Let me see if I can use an analogy Jacqueline might understand: if you caught your husband flirting with your friend, you would be understandably crushed. Say you worked through it for months though and forgave him. Then you found out he really didn’t just flirt, he slept with her. Two years ago. Does your old forgiveness count?

My first thought was, did Jacqueline's husband cheat on her? We don't know enough to go on this small implication alone. I read it earlier today - and it certainly had me take pause - but wasn't enough to even write a small post about, so I went on with my day. Later on, I saw Jacqueline Tweet:

And I thought to myself - what was this hateful Tweet she wrote?  Surely it had to be either about Teresa's WWHL appearance, or her blog post.  So I got to some investigatin'.

A simple search of fan  RTs that may have caught it prior to deletion turned up the ALLEGED (I have no way of verifying it) original Tweet.  Since the wording has slight variations in the 3 RTs that went out prior to Jacqueline's deletion, I'm posting a screenshot of the RTs rather than transcribing it -so you can judge for yourselves.  It appears that some folks eliminated a small word or two - my guess is it was done to be able to RT the entire thing as RTs takes up more characters than original Tweets:

So you get the gist.  So many more questions than answers.  If this was indeed the deleted Tweet, Jacqueline is straight up claiming Joe cheated on Teresa and Tre caught him.  In addition, we also know that Teresa has a pattern of projecting her problems/misfortunes/shortcomings onto other people.  For example, she's calling everyone around her crazy instead of examining her own unstable behavior.  She also seems pretty quick to point out other people's money problems to deflect from her own bankruptcy.  Was this why she stitched the analogy into her blog post?

Anyway, pretty heavy stuff. Do you think Joe cheated on Teresa?  Do you think Jacqueline's husband would cheat on her?  Or do you think that was just a dirty trick planted by Teresa? 

Real Housewives of New Jersey's Jacqueline Laurita Says Teresa Giudice Does Not Write Her Own Show Blogs

Any devout follower of the Real Housewives franchise - such as moi-self - is aware of the ladies' show blogs on the Bravo website.  Basically, after a show airs, the wives will publish a blog entry reflecting on the episode.

I used to read these pretty regularly, but you know, things get old.  Well, on last night's RHONJ, Jacqueline and Teresa got in a friendship-ending scuffle on the deck of Jacqueline's manor, which I really don't feel like recapping here because it's so ridiculous and so exhausting and so circular that you seriously just want to scream at everyone and say "You're all awful! Just shut up! Especially you Tre!"  Well, I must have been extra bored today because I read both Teresa and Jacqeuline's new posts re: last night's episode.  Again, don't expect a recap here.

The point I REALLY want to make is that the writing in Teresa's blog is clear, articulate - dare I say, polished even?  The construction, the points and counterpoints, the rationale - it's gorgeous.  No misspelled words, no misquoting famous sayings, nothing.  Now, anyone familiar with Teresa in the "real life" of reality TV is aware that she can barely put a proper sentence together.  She always pronounces things wrong, she's never gets sayings right - for goodness sake, in last night's episode she said "heckel and jive, when she most likely meant (I've obviously put too much thought into this) Jekyll and Hyde.

It just didn't add up to me - but I kind of rationalized it in my mind.  Some people are just better at the written word than the spoken word.  I've known a lot of such cases.  However, still it stuck in my craw.  In Teresa's case, the difference is a bit too staggering.

Well - apparently I'm not the only one who thinks such profound thoughts.  Just a couple of hours ago, someone Tweeted Jacqueline asking her this exact question - and here's the exchange:

Boom! There you have it, according to Jacqueline!  My guess is Teresa will deny, deny, deny it - but the evidence really does stack up against her.

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Dina Manzo Breaks Her Silence On Feud With Caroline Manzo and Friendship With Teresa Giudice

Okay - so anyone who saw the 3rd season reunion of RHONJ tonight knows that throughout all the VICIOUS fighting between Teresa Giudice and Caroline Manzo, the name "Dina Manzo" was thrown around A LOT.  An alliance between Teresa and Dina AGAINST Caroline were hinted at heavily throughout the show. 

Dina was also referenced in Part One of the Reunion last week, but up until now, Dina has stayed mum on the topic. Actually, she has been radio silent on all things RHONJ ever since she left in the middle of season two.

BUT.....

Given that there was so much focus on her tonight, she finally broke her silence on her blog. (<---- click there to see the whole thing).  It's quite a long entry - but here a few of the more interesting excerpts:

It wasn’t until VERY recently that Teresa showed up at my doorstep in tears…apparently Caroline & Jacqueline had a sit down with her on camera (for season 4) and she felt attacked. All I did was console a friend who was obviously shaken. I felt bad for her...

Teresa then asked me to come to the launch of a new product that’s very important to her...

She mentioned the drama with her and Caroline and I told her that if this is all about a joke in a book (and she assured me it was) that’s not enough for me to hate the mother of my God daughter and a friend of 15 years. Was it necessary to write that stuff in her book? probably not but I don’t think it was written with malice either. We are all guilty of joking a little too much now & then…

So there you have it, Teresa had nothing to do with me staying away from everyone ...

I feel bad that my relationship with my sister and her family is strained, but I can assure you that one day it will be back to the way it was.

Meh.   Aside from the tidbits on what's to come in Season 4, doesn't say too much.  There's a lot of dancing around the topic of Caroline. We still don't get to the bottom of why she chooses not to speak to her sister.  Saying she just distanced herself from the entire show isn't really cuttin' the mustard for me. There's obviously a LOT more there that she doesn't want to get into.  

RHONJ Finale - Meltdown in the Making

Hey guys, did you know that Teresa is just like Lucille Ball? They're so funny and they like to joke around a lot. Obviously by disparaging their friends and loved ones in books and interviews. Duh! It's funny! It's like jokes!

Meanwhile, as I watched the finale, I couldn't help but think "so what is Caroline's story?" Like, there's literally nothing for her to do on the show, but sit on this radio show and tell folks her sage advice on life AKA hackneyed cliches.

And Jacqueline.  Poor little Jacqueline.  Doesn't she have this look like she's about to meltdown at any moment? And we know it's true because she does melt down in season 4 WHICH HAS ALREADY FILMED.

Meanwhile, little Melissa is sittin' pretty.  She really is a genius - what has unfolded before our unsuspecting eyes this season is success after success in Melissa's well-veiled plans to get EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS.

Oh, hey Kathy girl.  Kinda forgot about you. Love your hubby's glasses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jersey's On Fire - Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) - Drama Developing

IS JACQUELINE LEAVING?   WHAT HAPPENED AT THE POSCHE FASHION SHOW?  MORE GORGA/GIUDICE FAMILY DRAMA AT THE REUNION?  WHERE TO BEGIN??????

The RHONJ Women Last Night at the Posche Fashion Show. Source: @MarthaByrne10 Twitter

Yowza where to start with this RHONJ - developing story !!!! The show is CURRENTLY filming Season 4, but ALSO filmed the Season 3 reunion today.  YESTERDAY there was a Posche fashion show .

Here's what we know as of now:

1) Some drama went down at the Posche fashion show. How do we know this?  Randomly, Martha Byrne (an actress - formerly on As The World Turns) who lives in New Jersey attended the fashion show.  She (@MarthaByrne10) live-Tweeted everything she saw, most notably 1) a "fight in the bathroom" involving Teresa (naturally) and 2) she implied that RHONJ is plenty fake saying "RHONJ, atwt was less scripted." 

2) AFTER the fashion show, Jacqueline Laurita TWEETED UP A STORM (late last night and throughout today) about drama from the show, hinting an impeding departure from the show, and that she won't be at the Reunion.

3) Today, Teresa Tweeted a lot as well.  Some Tweets appeared to be responses to Jacqueline, while the majority were about drama with her own family.  This leads us to believe that there may have been a lot of back and forth between Teresa, Melissa and likely Kathy at the Reunion.

Oy - hope I'm not confusing you too much guys, but I'm just beginning to make sense of it all myself!!!

4) On top of all that, it was announced today that Teresa will be appearing on Celebrity Apprentice

5) AND Radar Online is reporting that BRAVO is looking to replace some of the RHONJ cast (a la the New York formula) 

Here are Jacqueline's (@JacLaurita) relevant Tweets, in chronological order, followed by Teresa's Tweets:

@JacLaurita

Last night (9/27), after the fashion show:

I feel nauseous and feverish. No reunion for me.Sorry guys.XOXO!

Someone( not me) got set up tonight. There are some sneaky people trying to make someone look bad & then play innocent on camera. Sad.

2b honest.I'm tired of the BS &shitty low life people.I didn't know this was what I signed up 4.I have 2rise above&move on.

@JacLaurita Today ( 9/28, day of the reunion): 

I can't be part of the Charade anymore.It's unsettling. It's disturbing & against what I stand for. I'm a REAL housewife  

I love the blame shifting when someone is caught in lies. Unbelievable.

There is no real love there. Things aren't always what they seem. SOME people live a different life OFF camera then they do on. ( ahem)  [PayAttentionTo Blog EDITOR'S NOTE - THIS WAS MOST LIKELY DIRECTED AT TERESA NO????]

You'll all see through the bullshit if you look closely enough. I think you all are pretty smart  

Ok,I'm pulling back.I'm not going there.I was impulsive.It's behind & beneath me.Too Unimportant.My life is good now.


I'd like to only focus on positive things now please.I threw the trash out.I'm cleaning now and reorganizing.Starting fresh and new.

@Teresa_Giudice Tweets from Tonight 9/28 (Presumably AFTER the Reunion):

On my way home... Loooong day. Wow has Twitter gone crazy. Wow have some people gone crazy... #sadforthem [EDITOR'S NOTE - COULD SHE BE SPEAKING OF MELISSA HERE? SINCE JACQUELINE WASN'T AT THE REUNION?] 
 

I don’t even wanna go there b/c I don't fight on twitter not w/ fans, not haters, not w/ mean RTs & def not w/ a friend (ahem) [EDITOR'S NOTE: POSSIBLY REFERRING TO JACQUELINE GIVEN THE "AHEM" WORDING OF THE TWEET]  or my family! 

But the rumors are getting ridiculous. Let’s get this straight: I LOVE my WHOLE family. Would never do anything to hurt them. xx 

Breaks my heart that anyone would believe I would be part of something to hurt my family. Fame can mess with your mind. Family is forever.xx

THIS is exactly why I didn't want my family on the show--people come out of nowhere to try & hurt you. I don’t want my family hurt. Ever. 

And for the record: I don’t believe MG was a stripper but I wouldn’t care anyway. (I have lots of ex-stripper friends... ahem...) [EDITOR'S NOTE - DID TERESA JUST IMPLY THAT JACQUELINE USED TO BE A STRIPPER????? OMG OMG OMG]

She’s the mother of my niece & nephews & part of my family. You’ll see how I defend her in S4. xx #lovemybrother #lovemyfamily

That's all for now.  Help us make sense of all this in the Comments!!!!!!!!!! 

OCT.  24 UPDATE!!! DINA MANZO BREAKS HER SILENCE!!!!!!!!!

RHONJ's Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita May Be Fighting, Y'all

[SEPTEMBER 28 UPDATE!!!!: CHECK OUT OUR POST ON THE LATEST RHONJ DRAMA HERE]

Hmmmm, first Ashley claims to be Team Gorga on Twitter, and now today Jacqueline comes out with a post show blog pointing many fingers at Teresa.

Interesting....

I'm really too lazy to paraphrase it - but basically JL tells TG that she thinks she's in the wrong when it comes to Melissa and Kathy. She also has a bone to pick with her about Danielle - but my eyes kind of glazed over that part because the story is so played out.

And you KNOW if Jacqueline and Teresa are on the outs, then Caroline and Teresa are probably on the WAY outs.  I think we may have a new villain!  Everyone thought it  would be Melissa in the beginning of the season.  Plot twist!

I can't even imagine what's going to happen when they all go on vacation together. 

Anyway, I can't find my funny bone today, but the blog is worth a read... head on over to BravoTV.com to check it out.

P.S. I feel ick today.  I wouldn't hate you if you sent a compliment or whatever payattentionto@gmail.com

Some Questions About Real Housewives of New Jersey

Sponsored by:

Ashlee Holmes Laurita's baggy beret

• When Caroline is talking to Jacquline about inviting Kathy Wakile to her New Years Eve party, she says she "has to" because they are close with Albert.  Um, excuse me, did Kathy and her husband Richard not just meet with Albert for the first time a few episodes ago to seek his advice about buying a resrestaurant? Why would he care if they come to his party or not?  Caroline, just speak the truth and say THE PRODUCERS ARE MAKING ME INVITE THEM.  There, feel better now?
• How come I liked Teresa more before her family joined the cast?  I think she was better at masking the crazy before, but all the "realness" is coming out now that the dirty laundry is being aired.  AWKWARRRRD.  
• Why am I all of a sudden interested in reading Ashley Holmes' Twitter feed? Oh yeah, because she has NO FILTER!  Here's a few (alleged) nuggets gleaned from her updates: 
• she is not living in NJ anymore, now staying with her dad in Dallas - wonder why?  Was she kicked out?  Or was she just "so ova" her "mean mama?"
• She will soon be moving to Los Angeles, but she won't say why yet
• She is "TEAM GORGA" - no explanation yet given, perhaps we'll see it play out in a future episode.
• Why is Joe Gorga now my favorite person in the history of Bravo Reality TV? No, seriously, I need answers on this one.
• Why can't I get "On display... on display... on display" out of my head even though I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE SONG?????

There, thanks for letting me vent.  And if you have answers, please divulge!!!!

Real Housewives of New Jersey: New Year, Same Teresa

 Okay, before I get started, I'd like to thank our sponsor for today.  This post is generously brought to you by:

Category Five Hurricane Slash Twister Melania Giudice - AKA our new favorite person

Okay, now that the housekeeping is out of the way, what is going on with Teresa? No, like really, like I'm actually getting worried in a "no I'm not" kind of way.

Does she ever hear anybody else when they talk?  I mean, true, she's the only reason most people - AKA me - watch the show, but sometimes that one trick pony has got to learn a new trick.

It was a little boring this time around watching the now tired stoy line of the Giudice/Gorga/Wakile rift play out.  But what was more painful was seeing Tre's (that's what Joe and I call her) hypnotizingly blank stare every time anyone with an ounce of sense tried to get through to her.  It's getting creepy -  like stage  Bensimon red alert.

You can tell Caroline - the resident voice of reason with a new greaser hairdo - is starting to secretly hate Teresa.  And Jacqueline isn't far behind.  It's like Tre, get over it.  Oohhhhhhhhh she tried to say hi to you at a party.  Wow, what an evil person.  And oh my gosh, she invited her first cousin (AKA your brother AKA move over Gia there's a new star of the show  Joe Gorga) to her Christmas gathering.  She is evil incarnate.

Listen girl.  No sister of sweet angel "Can Do No Wrong In My Eyes" Rosie can be that bad. 

But the best part  came during the WWHL after show, when innocent little well-meaning Harry Potter impostor Jerry O'Connell (AKA the fat kid from Stand By Me - and some other stuff too - but this is all that matters)  tried to rationally reason with Teresa about how she could be nicer to her family.  Ha ha ha, poor kid really thought she'd take what he had to say to heart.  Listen Jerry: Teresa eats people like you for breakfast - and she does it while she's getting Juicy Joe out of bed, fighting with Melania about who's boss and online shopping for $1 million dollar's of super classy Louis XIV inspired furniture.  I think her blank stare bore a hole into his soul.

Also, I'm actually sad because Teresa is making me warm up to Melissa Gorga.  And I NEVER thought that would happen.  Melissa, call me, we'll make a Poshe run and then hit up Chateau to get our acrylics filled in.

Finally, a check in with Ashlee Holmes Laurita- yep, she's still wearing baggy berets on her head.

Jersey Triple Threat. Who Is Ready For Some Real Housewives of New Jersey Action???? Plus a Little Jersey Shore To Tie You Over. Oh Yeah, and I Mention Mob Wives Too, Hence the TRIPE THREAT (typo but I'm keepin it. LOL TRIPE!!!!!).

Brought to you by:

Teresa's Season 1 Hair

 
Can't. Properly. Articulate. My. Level. Of.  Excitement about Season 3 Episode 2 of RHONJ coming up any moment now! Though I will say that Mob Wives has made it easier to get through the week.  Helps take the edge off the RHONJ withdrawals.

Prediction about WWHL with Teresa tonight, she's gonna do that thing where she clams up and gets weird and dodges all questions of substance. 

 I live for this sh***t (said in an 80s buddy cop voice)/

Can we just discuss Teresa's brother for a second?  First of all, yes, he's definitely the show stealer to contend with.  Hands down, move over Gia, a new star is born. Meanwhile, at night, when it's really quiet and I'm just about to fall asleep, the "toe scene" that has been permanently burned into the back of my retinas, flashes back into life to haunt me. Needless to say, there's been a lot of sleepless nights lately.

Oh yea, anyhoozles, moving on to Jersey Shore,  just in case you thought that Ronnie and Sammi were SO OVA FA GOOD, guess again.  They've already been photographed (of course the photo agency wouldn't accept half my cupcake as payment, so, yea, sorry bout that - but here's a leeeenk) together being all romantic and barf.  Stay tuned, story still developing.
