In this sneak peek footage of the final part 2 from the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, Melissa Gorga attempts to do some type of acting and cry when asked what she and Joe Gorga feel regarding Teresa and Joe’s legal issues. See Melissa act below!
-_- That’s all I have to say at this moment of that ridiculous footage.
Yesterday newest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Joyce Giraud spoke out on Brandi Glanville saying that she needs rehab adding she’d say it all over again. While we have yet to see Joyce Giraud’s real issue with Brandi Glanville, I think we may know what Joyce’s problem with Brandi is and it of course involves LeAnn Rimes! Were told that Joyce is so intent on damaging Brandi because of her friendship with LeAnn and Eddie! “Joyce has a connection with Eddie and LeAnn. Joyce is even having an event and LeAnn is headlining it,” says a source. That’s not all, “Joyce’s husband Michael Ohoven produced Eddie Cibrian’s movie “The Cave” that grossed 3 million more than budget. Since then, Eddie and LeAnn have remained friends with Joyce and Michael which explains why Joyce is so hard on Brandi. From the second Joyce met Brandi, she really didn’t give her a chance.” Joyce Giraud spoke out on Brandi Glanville because she believes Brandi needs rehab and she would say it all over again.
While the exact issue between Joyce Giraud and Brandi Glanville is not clear, it is speculated that Joyce’s problem with Brandi involves her friendship with LeAnn Rimes.
Joyce Giraud is allegedly determined to damage Brandi because of her connection with LeAnn and Eddie. Joyce’s husband produced a movie for Eddie Cibrian that was successful, and since then, Eddie and LeAnn have remained friends with Joyce and her husband. This could explain why Joyce is harsh towards Brandi and didn’t give her a chance when they first met.
Bethenny Frankel’s newest talk show hasn’t been doing so well in the numbers so Bethenny got super desperate and had her people reach out to former enemies/bffs Jill Zarin and Alex McCord. Bethenny thought it would be a good idea to bring in ratings except both Jill and Alex turned down the offer. Now Kelly Bensimon is slamming Bethenny for being so desperate! She told In Touch Weekly, “She is just a sensationalist. She will suck the blood from your child to get ratings! I am so over her.” In the last week, Bethenny has lost 11% of viewers which is not a good sign. That’s not all! Bethenny’s show has been rated #13 in Talk Show ratings behind shows like Steve Wilkos, Rachael Ray, and Steve Harvey. Do you agree that with Kelly’s comments? Bethenny Frankel’s talk show has been struggling in terms of viewership numbers, resulting in poor ratings. In the last week alone, the show has lost 11% of its viewers, which is a concerning sign for its success.
Yes, in a desperate attempt to improve ratings, Bethenny Frankel’s team reached out to both Jill Zarin and Alex McCord. However, both of them declined the offer to appear on the show.
Kelly Bensimon has criticized Bethenny Frankel for her desperate measures to gain ratings. In an interview with In Touch Weekly, Kelly referred to Bethenny as a sensationalist and accused her of being willing to go to extreme lengths, even at the expense of others, to boost her show’s ratings. Kelly expressed her disapproval by stating that she is completely over Bethenny.
We basically grew up with Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice’s daughter Gia Giudice and it’s crazy to see how quick she’s growing up. In fact, she just got her braces off after having them on for years and looks unbelievable! Gia tweeted the following photo below excitedly tweeting about how her braces are finally off
And Aunty Dina agrees that she looks beautiful! So cute to see how much respect Gia has for her aunty Dina!
Looking beautiful, Gia!
The first part of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion was pretty “tame” as Caroline is describing it in her Bravo blog for the week!
Caroline seems over it, as she should be, seeing as how she has left the show. She begins by giving shout outs to her daughter and her co-workers who were her glam squad. She even surprised Lindsay (Albie’s ex!) by wearing her design to the show.
On to the drama, Caroline says the Gorga-Giudice back and forth was predictable and that she’s over it. Caroline writes:
The back and forth between the Gorga-Guidice clan was predictable, and to be honest, at this point in the game I’m throwing the towel in. Both believe they are right and innocent, and frankly, you can’t berate someone for speaking what they believe to be their truth. One day the sun will shine down on them all and there will be peace in the neighborhood, you gotta believe folks, believe.
You and everyone else, Caroline! The redhead proceeds to talk about Al’s infidelity claims, and sticks to her story about never saying never, etc.
Now on to Teresa! Everyone’s favorite topic. Caroline was shocked Teresa admitted to lying about her and Al fighting all through the Arizona trip. She calls it immature and seals the deal for her – she’s “done” with Teresa!
When Teresa told me she lied in her blog that Al and I fought throughout our Arizona trip I was speechless. I’m not going to say anything other than shame on you, grow up. What she tried to do backfired. It didn’t hurt or cause any drama within the Manzo household, it only made a decision very easy for me — I’m done.
I don’t even know why Teresa would lie about Caroline and Al fighting through the trip. However, it’s stupid that Caroline is focusing on Teresa’s lie only, when the reason Teresa retaliated that way was because Caroline lied FIRST. Caroline said Teresa was superficial and did not take the equestrian therapy seriously when in fact, she did. Caroline lied for the sake of going along with the edited version. Both are wrong here.
Thoughts on Caroline’s blog? Do you agree with her points?
Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer is still a fan of the girls, but she was one tiny issue with it!
Lisa Vanderpump got a spin off last year that seamlessly transitioned out of RHOBH’s episode. This year, it seems like the same will happen with the first episode of the shows.
Photos show the Vanderpump Rules gang at Kyle’s party (on the season four premiere), “catering” the event. VR also premieres that night so it goes without saying that RHOBH will tie into #PumpRules this year again.
Camille took to Twitter and said she does not like this! She tweeted:
I'm excited for the new season of #RHOBH!! But I don't need to watch the staff of Sur on RHOBH. They should keep those shows separate. JMI
— Camille Meyer (@TheRealCamilleG) October 8, 2013
When asked if this was a dig at Lisa, Camille denied. She said it’s just her opinion and that both shows are entirely different.
@hancorkhill11 It's not a dig at Lisa. The two shows are very different.
— Camille Meyer (@TheRealCamilleG) October 8, 2013
I actually enjoy both shows (don’t kill me), but I agree with Camille! They should stand off on their own because they’re completely different. Do you think Camille was making a dig at all?
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice got into it with Caroline Manzo at the Real Housewives reunion and took to her blog to call Caroline out. Teresa believes that all season Caroline Manzo was pretending to change her image from last season plus says she can dish it but not take it!
“We’re in the home stretch… almost done! Just one more episode left. How did you like last night’s Reunion? Of all the Reunions I’ve ever been to, this one was the best. I know that’s like saying something is the best worst, because the Reunions are never fun. They are brutal, long, and everyone ends up frazzled. But compared to other years, I guess what I’m most proud of is how I didn’t let other people upset me. That old table-flipping Teresa is long gone. I’ve learned a lot by watching myself on television, and I hope I’ve changed for the better. We’re all works in progress and we’ll all keep growing.
Of course, I’m not perfect, some things did get to me. When Caroline said I didn’t take the therapy in Arizona seriously and called me superficial, it hurt me. Who is she to call me superficial? She was there and saw that I was taking it seriously, that I was bonding with my brother, and that it was important to me. I went to Arizona with an open heart. I was serious about working out our issues, and got a lot out of it. We all experienced something different out there. I don’t pretend to know her intentions, but she pretends to know mine.
When I was writing my blog that week, it occurred to me that that’s what Caroline was doing all season: pretending. She was trying to put out that she was this happy, changed person, but didn’t embrace it as much as she pretended to, she didn’t even go up on the high wire. So I pointed that out. It wasn’t the nicest thing to do, but I was upset. I knew she would read it and not be happy because she’s Caroline Manzo! It’s this crazy, unwritten rule: no one is supposed to ever point out anything about her or her life. She can only talk about ours. It wasn’t a big deal, it was just a little shade in return for her lying about me. Not very mature I know, and I’m sorry for it. And I apologized for it immediately to her face, but of course, she didn’t apologize to me. To be expected. I didn’t expect it to be such a big deal at the Reunion, but I guess that’s a good sign that the Reunion was pretty calm, cool, and collected since that was our “big fight.”
I wish when Caroline and I were talking that everyone else didn’t keep jumping in. That’s my least favorite part about the Reunions, everyone talking over each other. If the conversation doesn’t have to do with you, keep your mouth shut. Why is Rosie jumping in to tell me how to talk to Caroline? It’s like they love to jump on other people’s bandwagons so the talk doesn’t come back around to them.
Speaking of pretending… Everyone can pretend they’ve never heard of Penny and Johnny, that “these people, these strangers, these roaches” were brought into our family by me, but they all know it’s not true. We live in a small town and we ALL cross paths with the same people all the time. The sad part is after all this, I’m very cautious now about who comes up to be friends with me because everyone knows who I am, and I don’t know them or their families or what their intentions are.
As I’ve always said, I personally have only seen Penny and Johnny at public events. When I heard that they were trying to get Penny cast as a new Housewife on Twitter, I started staying away from them because they were bashing Melissa to do it. I know some people think you can get cast on a show by offering to bash people already on it, and apparently it does work sometimes, but it’s not my thing, and I wanted no part of it. I get it that lots of people want to get on TV. If you can get cast, God bless you. Just please don’t do it by bashing my family. Be fabulous and interesting and have a great life that people want to watch and I’m sure Bravo will call you!
Like I said on the Reunion, I’m done done done with all this family drama. If anyone wants to keep believing I did things that I didn’t do, that’s on them. I’ve apologized, I’m trying to move forward with my life, and to me, that chapter is closed. I’m never going to get to that ugly place with anyone again. I just won’t allow it. I won’t allow anyone to drag me in.
On a happier note, we celebrated Gabriella’s birthday this week with a party at my friend Elvira’s Space Odyssey. I can’t believe she’s 9! Even though you see us arguing at the Reunion, my family and I are really in a better place than after last year’s Reunion — much better! We’re not perfect, but we’re trying, and we love each other. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.
Thank you all so much for loving us too. That you’ve accepted us into your households means so much. I’m honored to have so many beautiful, intelligent, loyal, and wonderful fans. I consider you all my friends.”
Do you think Teresa made some good points?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s slump in ratings continues, even with the normally highly-anticipated reunions! The finale dropped in viewers this season compared to last year, making it RHONJ’s lowest rated finale ever, and the reunion which aired its first part on Sunday did no better.
Last year’s RHONJ season premiered its first part to 3,493,000. Great numbers! This year however, it lost over a million viewers premiering to an audience of 2,491,000 according to BravoRatings.com.
There is still a second part and nothing exciting seems to be left for that besides discussing Teresa’s indictment, which we’ve already seen as its own WWHL special.
Do the numbers surprise you? Hopefully the upcoming cast shakeup does something good for the franchise!
