Season 1
Hello Baby Dolls!
Alright, I'm going to dive right in here. I don't read the tabloids and I've been spending my days with my four little girls, so I really only heard about all the new stories circulating about me late last night from my fans. Thank you all for the heads up, for the wonderful wishes and prayers!
Since I don't really pay attention to the gossip, I don't usually respond to it, but I've gotten so many questions from you all that I want to let you guys know the truth.
As you know, Joe and I filed for bankruptcy protection back in October 2009 primarily because of real estate deals gone bad in a bad economy. We didn't spend millions of dollars on gold toilets or private planes. We bought buildings, fixed them up, and tried to help other people start their own businesses or be able to afford an apartment. The economy crash trickled down to everyone. We worked so hard for so many years and it was heartbreaking to file, and not something we took lightly. Of course you can't sit in your bed and just cry all day, so we moved forward, got new jobs, and are working hard once again. The point is to get a fresh start so you can move forward.
If we didn't give fresh starts to people, we wouldn't have the following great American companies that were only able to be created after their owners' filed bankruptcy: The Walt Disney Company, Hilton Hotels, Hershey's chocolates, Macy's department stores, Heinz ketchup and even WalMart. If Sam Walton hadn't filed bankruptcy after his first store failed, he wouldn't have been able to build the largest company in the world that employs more people than any other: 2 million!
Omg Teresa you're my biggest fan your so fabolous and pretty!... also your my favorite housewive. Hopefully everything goes good for you and your family wish you the best !! And also nobody can be like you your the most faboulos ever!!!
Love & kisses
Your true fan jaslene!!
Teresa,
I have just found this blog and had to leave you a comment. All I can say is I wish you and I were friends in real life, we are so similar it's untrue. I too have been bankrupt in the past , so what as long as our loved ones are safe and well. We can always find the penny or cent in your case again, hang in there with the money thing your beautiful, fun to be with and intelligent, you have a gorgeous husband who adores you and the most gorgeous girls in the world well other than my girls! Ha! So wish we could meet I think we'd have a lot to talk about! Take care and god bless. Helen x x

Teresa, you are our favorite at "The Runway Show" we could care less about your financial problems.
I don't know much about you personally except for what I've seen on the show but thank you, thank you for supporting Autism. My daughter , (she is so cute and girly only wants to wear pink and do cheerleading) has high functioning autism and is a doll. We always appreciate the support it is a epidemic.

Dear Theresa:
I love your great personality and your love of life and how you have so much hope. I wish your buttons had n ot been pushed so much this season! My goodness you can get really angry! AHAHAHAHAH! However, I think Ghandi or Jesus Christ would have trouble getting through to Danielle!. My only concern for you is that your husband is trying to hard to give you and your beautiful girls anything you want in life. That is admirable. But he seems distressed. In one episode he admitted to another man that the money just is not there like it used to be. Right after that you had a huge party, and girl you sure can throw a party, for your babies christening. I know it is none of my business, but I would love for you to sit down with him and see where you can cut back a little bit so the pressure eases up on him. Being under pressure like that all the time can make a person ill. Most men would rather be tortured than admit they are strapped for cash to another man!
You have a great family and your babies are beautiful. I hope you all get through this slump in the economy and have a rich healthy and profitable life!
teresa..I think you are just fab!
I Would just like to say how Very Proud i am Of Caroline, i think she is a strong,loving, trusting, down to earth person, i most of all applaud her as a mother, i lost my mother 2 years ago and when i watch the show and see Caroline with her children how proud and supportive she is, it brings me to tears, i have nothing but the highest respect for you Caroline, and i myself will strive to be a great mother to my 4 sons as you are to your children! and may i add you are as beautiful inside as you are outside, Just Flawless! you did a damn good job with your kids and you should be very proud!
Teresa,
I do not think people fault you for filing bankruptcy. You definitely have to do what you have to do. Coming from my perspective, a fan and advid RHNJ watcher, I don't understand why you continue to spend so much money? It's just not necessary to spend $8,000 on curtains.
Maybe you should return to Italy/Naples and visit the slums where people do not have money and see how they live. It could be a humbiling experience to volunteer for a charity there or in NJ. I think you need to be humbled. Just remember, you can not file bankruptcy again! Only one second chance.
Hey T!
You're a great woman. You always want others to be happy around you. You are generous with your time by making your family the number one priority.
You are also a fighter. Keep up the fight for your livelihood. Don't let the bankruptcy get you down! If anyone can overcome, it is you. (and keep that Danielle far away from you... spitting distance is even too close).
Hmmm, I will keep you and your family in my prayers tonight.
Hey Teresa! I absolutly love you and your whole family. Adorable!!! My fav episode is your Italy vacation. I am dying to know who did the girls outfits for the dinner? The matching ones with the bows? Those are to die for!!!
Keep speaking your mind and ignore the haters!
Teresa Im a big big fan of the show, love you and your family you have the craziest most funny and beutiful childrens. As a fan and friend, just want to tell you that you need to be more responsable for you family remember that a in a marriage both of you are one, so you need to start helping you husband, crontrol your spending habits, I wont like to see your family in the same situacion that my parents. Thank God that they teach me how to spend my money and to buy what we really need, and my parents are very well economically, meening that they can spoil all there money but they dont do it any more cause they learn from previous economic down falls how to save. PLEASE TEACH YOUR DAUGTHERS WHAT MY PARENT TOLD ME.... "RICH IS NOT THE ONE WHO HAVE MORE, BUT THE ONE WHO NEED LESS"... love you as all ways. LOVE from Puerto Rico..
Its funny how you say that everyone needs a new start. You didn't give Daneille a new start when you found out about her past. . But I guess a new start onl applies tou because your BROKE.
Unbelievable! Teresa, I've read on several posts that you didn't know what your financial situation was, that your husband took care of it. As an adult woman, you should know everything about your finances. It's your responsibility as much as it is your husband's. I watch the show and I can't believe the amount of spending that you do, while it shows on your husband's face that he's not to happy about it. The mansion, the baptism (that's just ridiculous), the trip to Italy, the clothes shopping, the lunches and dinners with the ladies, and on and on.......The economy tanked and with it, so did the work. But, don't use that as an excuse as to why you're in debt. It's quite obvious why you're in debt! Get real woman!
Teresa is clueless to what she seems to be doing (single handedly) to her husband and her family. No one else on the show spends like she does and according to reports, is the one who can't afford it. Give your husband a break Teresa. The man is gonna have a heart attack and then where will you and your kids be?
During these show's we can all see how you'r husband is going crazy while you'r spending like a crazy rich woman! You'r the only woman on the show that's buying designer thing's that you really can't afford, I think the show really changed you and it's sad you put you'r family in such a whole just to look good for t.v.
Honey, i know what it is like going through a tough time. You and your husband are young and able to move forward. You will learn by this, not to make the same mistake again.
I know how exciting it is to go to Italy, in my case France. I relived my excitement all through you. I'm glad everyone has those memories to hold on to and keep all through their lives. They will never forget it.
Good luck to you and your family. I hope we see you next season. Maybe they will get rid of Dannille and maybe Dana will come back.
Love you honey.
Really?!?!!? Do all of the posters to this blog live in fairy land? I have never seen such a materialistic, nasty, "mean girl" in my life!!! Teresa, just remember, what goes around, comes around! you've been warned!!!!
I couldn't agree more! Teresa was my fave last season...a little dingy, sweet, in love with her husband and children. But this season...wow...I remember the girls like her in high school. Obviously, it's already "coming around."
Teresa is one of the most resiliant, spunky, over the top woman i have ever witnessed on national tv. I admire this woman. She has the most beautiful family I have ever seen and is the epitome of optimism. Though there have been moments that I'm sure even she can admit to wasting too much time on Danielle, I still have the utmost respect for her. Keep doing what you're doing Mrs. Guidice, you are awesome!!
Teresa,
I absolutely love you! You are definitely the REALEST of all the housewives and never put a front when the camera are rolling. My husband and I recently filed bankruptcy as well, and I commend you for your honesty and your attitude to rise above the gossip. You are so right, when the money is gone we still have our family, good health and true friends. I definitely look towards you as a model mother, and only hope I can be as wonderful a mom as you. You're freaking awesome and I love you!
I so agree! If we look at the cast last season Of Housewives OC, Vicki dumped Jeanna as soon as there were money problems for Jeanna. Her supposed bestie, then Vicki portrays Jeanna in this horrible light and gets almost everyone to alienate the sweetest woman (beside Teresa, of course!).
A long winded way to say I really feel the connection between your friendships and feel they will be with you always!It's so refreshing in these savage days to see a group, a true family, made of beautiful and unique treasures! You keep precious traditions alive, you seem to celebrate life with every breath, you are just phenomenal. I want to be you when I grow up!
God Bless you and your entire family,
Kristiana Johnston
I have to say that I love watching all of the housewives, minus one.... lol I am sure everyone can figure out who that is. I have to say Teresa, you and Dina are my fave!!! I am sad that Dina left but dont blame her really. I just wanted to tell you that I love watching you and the rest on the show and may God bless you,your family and the other housewives!
I think Joe should have a show of his own.
He works so hard for his family. I didn't realize he was the muscle behind it all until I saw the pizza parlor episode. Amazing. I would be very interested in seeing how someone builds a considerable empire for their family from scratch.
They are young and will learn from what happened this time around. Joe is a good guy, smart and very ambishous and he loves Teresa so much along with his adorable children. I just know that they will be fine.
Good luck to them!
Teresa, I am really amazed at all you do for your family and the charities you choose to work with. I really enjoy a woman that is honest with how she feels and means what she say's. The one quote I love best of yours, Is BITCH better! Loved that! Please be careful with that Danielle. I personally don't have a shinny past but I did grow and learn from the choices I made and not once will I try and blame someone else for those choices. I try and not judge people from their past, but who they show me to be today with their actions. I really have grown to know who my highpower is today and I love that you share your beliefs openly. Thank you for your honesty and your zest for life. Y
I did get a look at the article, give you guys credit for trying to move forward... Tere I love you! you are my Fav. keep doing you! in regards to all the hatter they are "squirrels trying to get a nut"...
Love Ana Maria...

OMG I love this show,and I love you !
hello i just want to say that i really do love your home. and you have a great family. thake care wish you all the best
Theresa you are our idol. We are four Italian sisters who can relate to EVERYTHING you talk about on the show. We love you and have so much fun getting together every week to watch the show. My favorite saying " Happy Wife, Happy Life"!
You go girl!
Teresa
You are a doll. I cried when you and your husband
danced with Adriana, along with Caroline and Jacqueline.
I love watching you because you are real.
I wish you all the best in your financial struggles.
Hold your head up high.
We love you because you are a breath of fresh air in
an overload of reality TV.
Ciao cara!
Karen
I wish you and your family the best. You have your priorities in order.. God then Family. Things will work out! Don't be discouraged by those who gossip and pass judgement.. girl they are just jealous!!!
Your money is none of our business but you are fabulous and your daughters are beautiful!
i give you so much credit for all that you do. we can tell when your for real and you definatley are that! love your family! keep your chin up and remember there is always someone who has it much worse!
Oh, Teresa, I love you, Sweetie! I love your over-the-topness, but know your underlying reasons are what makes everything you do so special!
Furthermore, you come clean & tell it like it is. You've got NOTHING to be ashamed of & everything to be PROUD of! Bankruptcy is a tool for those responsible enough to get their financial lives back on track & we are right there with you. Aside from that, look at your beautiful family of gorgeous daughters & a doting husband who works his tail off to treat you like the queen you are. He is a wonderful, respectful man! And through it all, you are one down-to-earth woman -- you can relate to all of the rest of us, who do not have the means; but hey, let's face it, we appreciate the finer things of life, but know it's not what you have that defines you, it's who you are. And that's why YOU are NOT a DANIELLE!! Ickkkk....
If ever our paths cross, we have loads to talk about! BLessings to you, Joe, & your beauties!!!
HOWDY! I abosutely love your little family. You tell it how it is and you don't pretend to be someone you are not. I really don't know what goes on behind scenes, but i'm sure it is not one outrageous situations. I am fond of your hubby, he is just precious. (adding this too.. don't worry he is all yours.. no stalker here. haha. duh girlfriend!) And of course, you are a very powerful gorgeous woman who I love to watch on television... from your barbie doll life style to chasing a woman down. aye.. Despite the fact that you all are very successful, this show gives society a better understanding that we are all human. We live as well as learn. And nobody is perfect. Besides that, I pray your loved ones and you appreciate Gods blessings and enjoy them as well. We are here on borrowed time, just blow off the negativity and look forward. Life is too short to be angry towards someone. Forgive but never forget. I stand for, "surrounding yourself with good people can only lead to good situations." I hope to see more episodes with your precious family. soo cutie patooties those littles ones you have! Awe. ha. Gods Blessings to you all. :) (one.. that is reading this, make a joke but understand that God is no laughing matter.. he doesn't laugh at you when you pray for him to help you off your feet or in a predicament). He always listens and never does he turn his back away from you. well tata! ready .. catholic bible verse.. it is great and it is on judgement.. : (mathew 7:12..)
Love,
texas
Love the show! And to sum it up in one sentence, "Money can't buy you class" I think you can ALL take a lesson from that one.
I love your girls. They are so beautiful. Your character rocks.
You are awesome! Love, love, love you and your family! Why do people care so much about your $$ and your personal life when it come to that. It is a TV Show people need to watch, enjoy and then move on! People act like they know you personally. Plus dont people know that half the stuff they say isn't even true. Keep being awesome and live your live. Everyone else get a life and stop worrying about a people on a TV Show!
I think it's great to see how you are keeping your head up. Most of America is having financial difficulties right now, you are just a target for them to judge. I don't think there is anything wrong with being fabulous and spending a little when you have it. Things will turn around and I know you will be fine! Keep being so fabulous :)
Hi Teresa:
Everyone is going to hit a bump in the road. Joe seems to be a good guy--at least, on TV he does. When I see him agonize over his debt and his face turns red when he talks about it, this is an indication of high blood pressure--a contributing factor for heart disease. Try to cut him some slack on your spending because his love for you is not limited to the things he gives you and the girls or how many children you give him. Love, true love is much more than that. Joe comes across as the type of man that internalizes more than he expresses--men can only take so much of this before they explode verbally or kill themselves just to end it all. In either senario, is this what you truly want for you and the children? It is time for you to rethink things and work with Joe and not against him to move forward with both of your lives. Good luck to you.
Teresa
Rock on with your fiesty selg - you always bring a smile to my face!
You don't need diamond rings
or eighteen carat gold.
Fancy cars that go very fast
you know, they never last, oh no!
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me
a Mercedes Benz.
Rain makes corn.
Corn makes whiskey.
Whiskey makes my baby feel frisky.
I've got friends in low places!
You're so vain,
you probably think this song is about you.
And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with you honey!
All you need is love.
Love is all you need.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found
was blind, but now I see.
You started out fine in your blog, then you slammed Danielle. It is apparent that a lot of ppl here like you and all your antics, but to say Danielle girls got their good looks from their dad, were dead wrong in this forum. That is something you say to your girlfriends and not in a public forum as this. You would be pissed if someone did this to your unruly girls. Many talked about your daughter when she pulled down the socks in your friends boutique, and you did not like that. Stop with the nasty coments about Danielle and her girls, they could e reading this or their friends may be sharing these blogs with them. Remember you have daughters.
You're a girlie girl like me except I have 2 boys! Your fashion & decorating taste is exceptional. Those christening dresses were perfection! Obviously your spending habits contributed to your financial problems but don't worry we all do it..except most people do it on a MUCH smaller scale. Life is for living! But it's obviously time to be responsible and set a great example for your daughters. Best of luck to you & your adorable family!
Love, Love, Love you Teresa!!! My prayers are with you and your family! I will never watch the View after seeing how they drilled you about your Bankruptcy details. Qive me a break...everyone in some way or another has suffered from the downward spiral of our economy. Keep your head held high and remember that money and things are not the secret to happiness...Our Family is.
Your Biggest Fan!!!
