In the Spotlight

Teresa explains why she's not a stage mom.

By Teresa Giudice

Oh so here we have the dreaded stage mom episode. I knew this was coming! The day of Gia's photo shoot we were there from 9am, she was working the camera like nobody's business. She was dancing all around and having a blast. Any child would get tired, even if she was playing at the park. Eventually a kid gets tired. Believe me, my daughters love to be in the spotlight. I would never force them to do anything. I was kind of directing the shoot because I wanted to be sure that everything was done right this time. Last time I didn't put in my two cents and look what happened. They loaded her up with makeup and made her look like a pageant princess. I just wanted to be sure things were done right so we wouldn't have to do this again.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/9c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

We were all joking around the night of Danielle's spa party. I don't know why Danielle got so upset about Dina's comment. By the way, I could vouch for the fact that Dina's lips are REAL. I have known this girl since she was 22 and she has had the same lips from day one.

About what Danielle said about Dina at her barbecue with Jacqueline. I have known Dina for so long, if any of those horrible things that Danielle said about Dina were true, I think I would have seen some of that over the past 13 years. Don't you think? Danielle knows NOTHING about Dina. So once again, there goes Danielle's bullshit. Damn, I wish I had that money tree...LOL. (See my last blog if you don't get that joke!)

I loved to watch Dina and her brother Jaime in action - I thought it was so cute. I would love to see them working together more.

I think Jacqueline is just trying to do her best with Ashley, as all moms try to do with their daughters. I am not even close to being there yet with my girls. I can't even imagine going through those teen years with three girls at the same time. Being a mom is the hardest job there is. When Chris bought Ashley a new car, he was just trying to be a good stepfather.

Caroline's daughter Lauren is a doll. I am sure she is going to be great in the beauty business. I could understand about the whole waxing chucky thing - I could NEVER! That scene was so cute and made Joe and me crack up.

I will see you all next Tuesday! It looks like things are about to get interesting...

Love,
Teresa
