How Joanna Met Romain

Joanna explains how she first fell in love with Romain.

Dec 21, 2012

I have never dated a man that wanted to be part of my family as much as Romain, someone that took care of them as their own. When I first saw Romain on the news being interviewed about the hottest nightclub in Miami Beach during Super Bowl weekend (Feb 2007), I stopped in my tracks and asked, "Who the hell is that?" I called my sister that same day and told her she’d think I’m crazy, but I felt Romain would be my husband one day. I fell in love with his smile and his honest, friendly eyes on the TV interview. During that time I was celebrating my first Ocean Drive cover, and what better place than Mynt?!  It was my favorite place to go out dancing with friends since the day I started coming to Miami, but I didn’t remember meeting Romain (or as he says I never paid attention to him, since I was with a boyfriend at that time). During my party we started talking, and a week later I broke it off with my boyfriend and Romain and I have be inseparable ever since.

I believe in my heart Romain is telling the truth that he didn't cheat on me, and I trust that the emails were a big wake up call for both of us about what was happening in our lives at the moment and last year. We took each other for granted and didn't make our relationship a priority. There is no excuse for the emails, and it will take me a long time to get over them, but I have to go with my heart and believe what he is telling me is sincere. If he is lying, the truth always comes out, and then it will be over.

Joanna is the perfect example of the saying that pretty is skin deep. ugly is to the bone. She is not a good, decent human being. She is near perfect, stunning actually, on the outside, I'm sure every guy would like his way with her...but she is bad news, controlling, nasty, and the drunk you see is who she really is!! I think her fiance should get out while he's ahead..she's a trash talkin B!!

Really love your scrappiness, Joanna. You're not mean to people but can take care of yourself if attacked (by the rabid dogs on the show).  I hope you, Karnet, and Lisa stay friends. You all have a lot of heart.

You shouldn't even dignify Adrianna or Alexia's spiteful comments with a response; their actions already portray them as mean girls.

Watched you on tonights reunion part 2. You said it yourself, when you have to many drinks..... You need to watch the episodes and realize that you need alittle help because you are quite a violent drunk. You really should not be drinking at all, not even one shot. Don't get to comfy with the ladies you try to protect, because things can flip around. Remember you are in Miami... Take care of you first, people do worry about your drinking habits.

I have to comment on the Joe Frances situation at Lisa's party......I have nothing against Karent like others do but, how could Joanna not see that Karent instigated the entire scene with Joe Frances???

 

He merely said that he had DATED both sisters. IT WAS 'KARENT' WHO INTENTIONALLY INTERRUPTED HIM BY ASKING HIM OUTRIGHT IF HE HAD SEX WITH THE GIRLS (in front of the cameras and the party guests might I add).  How did Joanna not see that? Did she not watch the recorded show??? Alexia even mentioned that on part 2 the reunion show but, ironically Karent found her voice right at that specific moment and talked over her, and Alexia did not pursue it.  KARENT INSTIGATES AND THEN ACTS LIKE SHE'S AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER!  Joanna needs to watch out for her.  However, I think she has a great friend in Lisa. 

 

Joanna is beautiful inside and out.  I'm a huge animal lover myself, I love that about her but, she needs to stay away from liquor, it does not agree with her! Everyone reacts differently to alcohol, I tend to get too friendly and frisky but, Joanna is one those people who gets loud and nasty, it makes her look ugly and I bet she's losing Romain primarily for that reason. I hope it doesn't tarnish her career too, which I believe she did work hard for especially after hearing her history.

 dangelillo Watch the reunion again. Karent explained what happened before they came to the party and Joanna is obviously not upset with her, so I don't see why others would be.

Some of the other women were really hard on you. I think they misjudge you. You might have a bit of a temper...but that's okay. You love your mom and your sister, you are protective of friends, and you are real...sometimes even revealing things that aren't the most flattering. Don't worry.....I could see you pull yourself in/withdraw during the reunion (well it was my impression anyway) It was better to do that than try to battle everyone. But now..let it go. Enjoy your career and family...and don't worry about people who don't understand you and don't matter to you. But though I really don't know you at all....from my vantage point as a mom and wife (and one who somehow got lucky enough to marry the man of my dreams)....hang on to your love. Love is not easy to find. You and Romain actually fight really well...meaning you communicate honestly...truthfully. You are family. I hope you never lose him....nor he you. You are kindred spirits...who've traveled very similar paths...and know each other well. This relationship should be a priority. What matters your huge career if you don't have someone to share it with?? Good luck in life.

I think Romain is a very sweet sincere guy and that Adriana is jealous of you   the first time she met Romain she hit on him and he wanted nothing to do with her - she thinks she is so hot with her slithering lizard boyfriend (BOY IS THAT GUY SLEAZY) and I think that really ticked her off and now she has it bad for you - last season she came across as being so hot and beautiful that men can't resist her and I think Romain ignoring her bugs her -- I love it!!

I don't think Romain is good for your career Joana. You need to strike while the iron is hot! Youre sizzling now. RHOM is a great jump start. But you have already jump started your career you don't need the meager BRAVO paycheck. Go back to LA. If you want to be a housewife you can do RHOBH.You should be on the cover of magazines. Romain is holding you back. I couldnt handle being with a man who had a low libido. That would suck. You should be the one receiving sexy emails from other men.

Diniva 441 pts

I'm glad you're not letting Marta get in the way of your relationship anymore.  She seems rather spoiled and didn't have your back at times she should have, instead she turned on you.  That was really sad to see. I know you love her, but you need to think of your own future now, you've been coddling her for way too long. Romain is right to expect her to help. She's an adult now and should be taking care of herself, or at the very least helping you when you help her so much.  She didn't even help Lisa with her party when she was staying with her for a few weeks, and even Lisa was annoyed.  I hope you see the light with her and have the strength to let go if needed.

I was so Team Joanna at 1st...  Then I saw how you treated your sister and Adriana..  And what you said about Marasol and her Mother is awful.  I like that your with Peta but a Woman maturers with age and learns how to express herself better then the way you did.. 

BrazilianGeek 18 pts

 koczusia you make some valid points, but you are demonizing Joanna. Of course she uses her body to advance her career; she's a model! She uses her looks in her career the same way most people use their brains or hands in theirs. I think she has very little personality and is a bit of an airhead, but there's no denying her beauty...she looks flawless from head to toe. I felt compassion for her when she tried to win back her bf. Goes to show even supermodels get cheated on.  She can't  be as awful a person as you paint her out to be. Who knows how you and I would have turned out if we were as hot as she is....

 

koczusia 2043 pts

 BrazilianGeek  koczusia My comments were about what I and everybody saw on tv.Even if "she looks flawless", her mouth is not.Nobody in the cast uses as much f word as she does.Even at the second part of the reunion she couldn't help herself and said to Adriana"shut your f.....g mouth" twice.I don't need to"demonize" Joanna ,she does it herself.And by the way I"m really hot myself and did some modeling.

loving_my_life 1385 pts

 koczusia  BrazilianGeek Exactly!  Some people kill me how they worship Joanna, like she's the best thing since sliced bread..  She's OKAY, but she's NOT the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, ESPECIALLY when she opens her mouth and starts cursing!  She really looks ugly then and I really mean ugly!  Her face changes and she looks like an entirely different person!  Sorry!

Adriana has an accent, but speaks several languages and expresses herself  very well ! you on the other hand? all we hear is "Go F* yourself" "you in are the devil" and of course the " Ive been in the business 12 yrs " !

minea 712 pts

 Maya2 That doesn't do her any good when all that comes out of her mouth are insults! She can speak ten languages, but that doesn't make her any better than someone who speaks one. She acts like a rabid animal and is completely classless.

Maya2 3339 pts

 minea

 They are  BOTH  classless but Joanna ridicules Adriannas "spanglish"? who is she to talk when all this grown woman who speaks english very well can say is "Go f* yourself" even on the reunion? and she wasn't even drunk at the reunion, or was she?

Evangelia 1388 pts

@Maya2 Adriana expresses herself very well? Are you serious? She is quick to insult and swear but her grammar skills are lacking

Maya2 3339 pts

 Evangelia  Maya2

 Again ! in comparison to Joanna who speaks english  well not 'spanglish" YES  ! Adrianna gets her point across sometimes using not so nice language but sometimes very well like when she told Karent " i don't go to your office to pull teeth" Joanna would have said " GO F* yourself ! when you compare the woman that has a heavy accent and speaks several languages  and is accused of speaking "spanglish" to the model who may only speak 1 or 2 languages and speaks without an accent ! Adriana expresses herself better ! grammar skills may be lacking but Joanna lacks class common sense and the ability to express herself without using the F word !

Evangelia 1388 pts

@Maya2 It's interesting that you would brought up the "go to your office to pull teeth" because when I heard her say it I thought that it was a poor analogy. I'm sorry I just didn't get the logic.

Evangelia 1388 pts

@Maya2 Sorry I meant to type "bring" not "brought"

koczusia 2043 pts

 Evangelia  Maya2 At least she uses complex sentences."go f..k yourself" doesn't require any grammar ,just vulgar personality and "insulting skills"

@koczusia @Maya2 Hello they both use complex sentences that's not a big deal. Do you know what a complex sentence is? Trust me they both use complex sentences.

HonestMama 384 pts

I agree with a lot of people that you need to stop drinking. You seem to get into a lot of bad situations when alcohol is involved. Your immaturity takes over when you get drunk, but the rest of the time you seem lovely. Just consider that in the future. 

joyce.petrocelli 103 pts

Careful with the drinking...I hope it works out with you and Romain...Lesson to learn is this..the grass is never greener..this is for both of you...Happy New Year!

cgarden 647 pts

I like you but think you need to really watch your dirty mouth (very unladylike and NO ONE likes it) and your drinking (out of control and does not agree with you)! I hope things work out with you and Romain.....if its meant to be, it will happen. Best of luck.....steer clear of Adriana, she is so scary and jealous!

koczusia 2043 pts

 cgarden And Adriana was so right when she said "in vino veritas" which means "there is truth in wine".It was a big challenge for Joanna so her "cultured"response was "go f...k yourself".THAT"S scary .Joanna could learn something ,even from Adriana.You need to be humble to see your shortcomings and that's NOT Joanna.

alexalena 308 pts

 koczusia  do you remember nights when you were drunk? sure veritas was there? 

alexalena 308 pts

JO, Happy New Year!!! Love your dress at the reunion, you legs look amazing! Just please don't react so harsh to everything, it's not worth it, brush it off and carry on being a beautiful and kind girl that you are. 

koczusia 2043 pts

 alexalena hav you watched All episodes?

alexalena 308 pts

 koczusia yes and in my book she is not perfect but nevertheless a wonderful human being. She didn't deserve the digs from that Brazilian hotmess who tried to scrape every dirt she could find on Joanna. That was especially low blow after Joanna tried to make up with her.

koczusia 2043 pts

 alexalena Joanna said Adriana's apology means nothing to her.Is that trying to make up?

alexalena 308 pts

 koczusia well she invited her to the trip, she could left her out

Missycal 60 pts

You are awesome. The biggest mistake is even entertaining or responding to Adriana in the first place. Who cares what venom she spews. She looks jealous. You're better off to let her make a fool of herself like she did at the gala. You acted appropriately and respected the charity. EVERYONE gets more vocal when they drink. Unfortunately you just have the cameras right there eating it up. Anyone you calls you an alcoholic has obviously not been around a TRUE alcoholic. There's a difference between being a social drinker and needing a shot of whiskey to get out of bed. KEEP DOING YOUR THING.

Pacific 260 pts

 Missycal There are many types of alcoholics. Women are often under-diagnosed for their alcoholism. One of the reasons is they can be much sneakier than men so they are better at hiding it. There are also binge alcoholics that will drink a serious quantity of booze for a time and then stop cold turkey until the next binge. Of course there are the alcoholics that need that shot to get then going during the day. If you object to the word alcoholic how about a problem drinker then? If your personality changes and you can not manage your behaviors there is a problem and probably a substance abuse assessment is in order.

Missycal 60 pts

@Pacific agreed... Problem drinker. If one knows they can't be control their emotions they still need to be held accountable for their actions.

dangelillo 248 pts

 Missycal  Pacific Agreed, I don't see Joanna as an alcoholic, instead I see someone who alcohol disagrees with s'o to speak'.  She's too beautiful inside and out to ruin it by drinking. Some people need to stay away from drinking for that reason. I had a friend, a caring generous woman, who got so nasty when she drank, I was embarrassed to be seen with her. It's a shame.

joyce.petrocelli 103 pts

 I agree! After all it is called "Real Housewives". No one should be cast unless they are actually married. My husband laughed when he found out most of the women are not married! Being single does not qualify you as a "housewife"! Lol

Maya2 3339 pts

You have ridiculed Adriana for he "spanglish " and not being able to express herself  accurately, but all you say to EVERYONE  is " Go F* Yourself? that is sooo nasty so uncalled for so immature!  At least she has a more ample vocabulary of insults ! You do not live in Miami, you live in LA, your reason for being there and 'qualifying" as a" Miami Housewife" is Romain! Adriana didn't make that up ! maybe that's why you stayed with him even after he cheated on you? as for him "loving and wanting" your family? Your only sister had to leave cause he was making her life miserable? You can't handle booze and you make a spectacle at every event you go and drink ! Also you keep calling everyone "evil" and "devil" ? even mama Elsa, because her daugher wore fur? You worry about not drinking and don't criticize anyone you're in no position to do so !

 thanks maya2 - I wasn't sure why Adrianna was saying some of those things about Joanna and Romains relationship being for publicity. I am aware that Joanna does a lot for publicity - I mean I saw photos of her in a completely see through top not too long ago. I didn't remember that she lived in LA though. It kind of makes sense because her and Romain have stated that she was never around enough for their relationship and that was why Romain was talking to someone else. Joanna definitely puts her career first. I am sure she is happy to be near Romain, if she really loves him like he says, but the real benefit of moving near him is being on this show and boosting her career!

Missycal 60 pts

@jbey @Maya2 Jbey don't be fooled. MAYA2 and KOCZUSIA are Adriana!!!! Get off the blogs crazy!!!! It's embarrassing. Which I thought was impossible since you embarrassed yourself all season!!!
