Season 2
Season 1
Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't blogged lately, life has been a little hectic here in New Jersey. I'm actually on my way to Los Angeles right now, so I'm taking the opportunity to write without interruption.
Season 3 was action-packed and filled with every emotion you could think of, sometimes all within the same episode. We were introduced to two new Housewives, Melissa and Kathy, along with their husbands and children. These two came onto the scene in what I believe to be one of the most dramatic moments in Housewives history and were instantly labeled as villains by the viewing audience. I'm embarrassed to admit that I was right there with all of you. Who could blame us? Our very first impressions of them were formed as if they were shot out of a cannon filled with jealousy and hate that rained down on all of us. The irony of it all still baffles me.
Over the past few months I've read numerous comments regarding my attitude this year. Many of you said that I looked frustrated, angry, bitter, bored, and "over it." You were absolutely right; I was all of that and more. Let's take a minute to remember what the "goal" was way back in Episode 1 -- Teresa wanted her family back together, and Jacqueline and I were asked to help mend fences. We were all too happy to help her, that's what friends are for. If only I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have touched this with a ten-foot pole.
I had minimal interaction with Melissa prior to her joining the show and I was introduced to Kathy the night of the Posche event. The bizarre thing about Kathy is the fact that I didn't even know she existed until she became part of our cast. Over the years I've heard Teresa tell more negative stories about Melissa than I care to remember, and when Kathy came into the picture the stories came out of left field. Again, all negative. I'm ashamed to admit that I had a predisposed opinion of these ladies based on the "history" I was given. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I chose to believe all the bad without giving them a chance to show me the good. That was awful of me, and they didn't deserve it. I've apologized to each of them privately and publicly.
Caroline - You're my hero! Lauren was right on - too much drama and it spoiled what should have been a fun day for everyone. Love ya Caroline - you're my kind of gal.
I don't know why you feel the need to stir up the pot when it comes to Teresa's family, why don't you just keep quiet! What Teresa said about you and
your son was nothing terrible, lighten up!
Caroline I admire you, respect you, and adore you. The hateful things that Teresa is saying/doing to people on the show and in her life will sadly come back on her. As for you, I believe the cameras really do show what is true and the fact that you and your family are so close-knit says somethin g for your character and the integrity you have. You rock and don't let the BS affect you! Who am I kidding-it won't! XOXOXO
Caroline, i'm with you. If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything. Teresa's apology was not sincere, and you stayed classy and did not give her the tongue lashing that she clearly deserved. If she was ANY kind of friend or sister, she would have cleared her statements BEFORE publishing.
Caroline, you act like you are above everyone. Is it really that big of a deal Teresa poking fun of you in a book? She, like everyone, needs to have a career after everything that is going on with her family. I am not siding with Teresa, as she seems to put her foot in her mouth quite a bit, but when she was apologizing why didn't you say anything then if you were truly upset?
Obviously Teresa was in a bad place in her life. Her family was publically having money problems and she was in a rough place with her family, although, I do not think she was trying hard enough to fix these problems but as her friend that is when you step in to make sure she is doing alright. At 26 I have had friends that made mistakes but I do not feel it is appropriate at my age to hold grudges. I care for my friends especially if they mean a lot to you, maybe Teresa didn't mean a lot to you?
What I would have said to Melissa and Kathy, instead of taking sides, is to look at where Teresa is at, Teresa, my friend, is in a rough spot and needs her family and friends at her side, maybe we should all forgive and forget.
Still I am not saying Teresa did no wrong. But at the same time would there really be a show if she didn't? I love RHONJ but I don't think it is still on the air because of you! (Sorry that is a bit harsh but true isn't it?)
You all need to learn forgiveness and gratitude and focus on that in your life, it is silly to drag things on!
I do praise you for being such a good mother. Although you have said some unkind things(publically for the whole world to see) about Lauren's weight that I think you should apologize to her for.
I also like your hair now that it is getting longer, don't ever do that slick back horrible look again!
I think you should all read "The Secret" and focus on the positive!
This show would not exist without the lovely to watch Teresa so thank her that you guys are still getting a paycheck!
You are such a big bully. You say you are loyal and a good friend but from what I see you are nothing but a follower. You prey on people's weakness and if the majority of the people you surround yourself with doesn't like some you follow suit. Teresa is going through such a rough time and as soon as the water gets rough your out and then force everyone around you to agree with your ignoant opinion. Grow up you Are way too old to act like you are in high school.
Hi Caroline,
I'm glad that you are now out in the open about your opinion of Teresa - Lord knows that it is obvious to viewers that she is inhabiting Teresa World, a land that does not follow the logic or laws of Earth. Even with all of that I would hope that you continue to encourage the Gorgas to continue to see, put up with, bear the company of the Guidices for the children's sake.
Since I am sure that you will also have to put up with Teresa perhaps you can deal with her the way that I enjoy dealing with unpleasant people - the kinds that say hateful things and then say they are joking. I simply mirror their behavior as much as I morally can (I'd never stoop so low as to say negative things about their kids). Only the naive will think that lady T is an innocent victim - she seems to be a narcissist, who does not see herself at fault for anything.
From the moments in your life that we get to see on the show you seem to be a strong, smart, classy lady with a wonderful family. You have a lot of things going for you that will of course engender jealousy and hatred. Unhappy people will always try to drag everyone down to their level - that's a haters job.
Caroline, I adore you and think you are the Matriarch! You are too wise for some of these immature knuckle-draggers to appreciate! You have always if perhaps not the first time, given each and every one of the women on the show a first and plenty of second chances to clean their act up. (we both know who I speak of) and I think Kathy respects you and you her, Jacqueline obviously loves and respects you and I believe Melissa does as well. Dina, once she realizes she was manipulated and played by Theresa and gets over her embarassament will want you back in her life as well. I would cherish you as a big sister! I am not even 1/16th Italian but would love to be in your family! *Just Joking" Keep up the good work and I will keep watching Theresa, not so much.
I don't understand why you felt the need to explain yourself. It's all evident in the show. Plus no one needs that kind of negativity in his/her life. So you do what's best for you and your health by letting go and move on.
Poor Caroline< Im soo sorry all these haters are giving you soo much grief!! Maybe you should have just let Theresa just crap all over you, afterall it was a JOKE lol. Theresa is is a joke, everything about her is a LoL!! You were a friend to her and we all seen how you had to explain to her how to make up with her brother. She thinks its ok to hurt people, and they should react.She has no idea that other people have feelings!! You have to stay on the show Theresa don't know what else to do, someone needs to open her eyes!! I feel bad that you totally abandon her over her remarks in the book, but I do understand that it is propply more from her lack of comprehending what she has done!! I wish you Health & Happiness and sooo glad you Ladies are back!!
Virtuous Caroline,
Your honesty and intelligence are so refreshing. Our blog comments of this evening are the first ever for any of our BBC (BRAVO-BUNCH CLUB) members, which number over 50 and growing! Thank you for adding your positive energy to our earth environment
I’m just seeing the reunion show. Caroline in the past there have been times when you annoyed me but never because you were rude, self-righteous or absorbed. We both have strong opinions and when you were rightfully adamant about yours, and I disagreed, of course you annoyed me. But it never diminished any sort of respect that you deserve, as any person should deserve unless they are morally challenged. So, on that note, in the beginning I use to like Teresa, and obviously it was during a time when you two got along. But watching this reunion show and listening to her interrupt you while you were making good points, all she possessed was to verbally overpower you with repetitive phases and nonsense. She shows all the signs of a person that uses nonsense because that is all they have to fight their battles. There is so much more I could say about Teresa, but in a nutshell, classless. She acts such the fool and does not have the class to even recognize how she acts. After Danielle left the show I decided I would watch the show again. Yet, again, I opted not to because Teresa took Danielle’s place. Teresa will never get it, don’t waste your time and keep being who you are, even those times we differ because you are strong to yourself.
Caroline, I feel like you have blinders on, personally. Melissa is obviously not into the idea of mending fences, but she is all over the charade of playing the victim; please. This is ridiculous, you definitely do seem to have jumped ship. Kathy, well she seems to try to hard to be perfect, cooler and more mature than Theresa. Her comments seem cold and calculated, and in the spirit of the camera doesn't lie, her individual interviews as well as Melissa's are obvious to the character they really possess, jealous and dramatic. Get over yourself, really. Just because you have a radio show where people want your opinion does not mean your opinion is always right, and in the case of Theresa, I think it should be said, shame on you!
Caroline, you seem to be the ONLY one on this show with a brain...how refreshing!
You should be ashamed of yourself. We teach our children not to be bullys and you are one and have create more with Kathy and Melissa
I love u caroline and stay the way u are ur great
Caroline, I have always loved to watch you on the show. But I never would imagine you to be the type of friend to turn, the things Teresa may or may not have said about Melissa and Kathy was said in confidence and should have never been said out loud. I feel bad for Teresa because she was trying to mend things with her family you are bringing up stuff from the past. The book? It obviously takes a long time for books to be published so the things she said in the book were not said the same time she was trying to mend things. Your kids threw dirt on Teresa all season on national television so whats the difference of her making a few little comments in the book. Honestly it seems like you wanted to be stirred into the drama so that Bravo would renew your contract to be on the show.
Caroline, I simply adore you. From my culture you are the definition of what a WOMAN, MOTHER and MATRIACH are. You call it like it is and stay true to who you are!
I am 48, a single mom and love hearing your words, watching and learning from your experiences. You're an inspiration and are truly blessed.
You show us that while you have mountain highs and valley lows, you are a very strong woman, mother and wife show us how women can still be individuals and be wives and mothers.
I just adore you and wish God's continous blessings to you and your family!
CAROLINE, PLEASE GET OVER YOURSELF. TALK ABOUT DRINKING THE KOOL AIDE. YOU TEND TO SPEAK IN PARABLES. EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH HAS TO BE A LIFE LESSON. YOUR NOT THAT WISE. YOU ARE ALSO A HYPOCRITE. PLEASE WATCH THE PREVIOUS SEASONS AND THEN SAY AGAIN THAT YOU WERE NOT TERESA'S FRIEND. PLEASE BE MORE HUMBLE.

My heart goes out to you and to your family! I know how dciffiult it can be. We lost our first baby and the sorrow is so deep and lasting ~ We are praying for you and for your family through this dciffiult time.Hope you had a lovely Easter.
Caroline has been truthful and sweet during all the seasons. The fact that you people are not sticking up for her is mind blowing. Can not wait to see next season when you all see Teresa has changed and has jealousy problem. She talks badly about everyone and now Caroline has to deal with the fact her sister wasn't speaking to her because of her so called "friend". Jacqueline and Caroline stand your grounds because you are the REAL housewives!
Caroline, Hey keep your chin up, Theresa has let stardom go to her head. People look who stood by her and then her book came out. Well if that was one of my friends i would walk away as well. I love this show, and glad that your all coming back on, I love the way Caroline is with her family. We will all see the truth this year I am sure. I have prayed for you and Dena work it out
hey caroline! Lots of mean comments on here but i just would like to say, i understand ur frustration with Theresa. i feel bad for melissa, it would be hard to have her as a sister-in-law, but i do believe she can handle it. i am looking forward to seeing u and ur family this season. btw...i love how ur hubby stays on the down low, seems like a wonderful father and husband! hope u and dina r doing better!
I am sorry to say that I have just caught up on all the drama from the reunion. I have to agree with the other posts, You say in your blog that Theresa was a part of your family, but it seems your quick to throw her to the wolves (one being yourself) I find it very sad that you have let the comments in the cookbook offend you the way it did. I have the cookbook and I didnt find it so offensive that would make you react in the way you did. I felt really sorry for Theresa during the reunion, she had no chance sitting there with everyone against her. I hope you take time to reflect on your actions and ask yourself if this was worth a friendship........ Very disappointed!!!!!
Caroline ~ In the beginning of the NJ Housewives I always thought you were the more intelligent one when it came to any type of friction. I had such a deep respect for you but during the last season with Andy (3) sure seemed like you attacked Teresa. For you to state that Teresa was never a "friend" was quite horrible to say. Who would go on a trip to Italy and visit relatives of the so called non friend? Much of what was happening seemed like it had to do with issues between family and you should have not been so concerned to the level you showed. I know Teresa is at fault for many things but you to have faults as well. Let her straighten out issues between her family and take care of your own. Teresa certainly owes you an apology but only for things she caused towards you (cookbook comment ~ etc). Be more like your sister Dina, you have ALL changed since the start of the NJ Housewives and it's getting the best of you all. Remember who you are and tend to your own.
Caroline...Watching the re-runs today. Just gotta tell ya, you and your posse made mean and hurtful remarks about Teresa all season long. So what if she made a few jokes in her cookbook (which I have). They are jokes. Tell your husband to give you some lovin and lighten up. You and your family can dish it out but ya can't take.
You are not La Dona.
Can't wait for the next season...I hope Teresa lets you have it.
Watching the preview!!! You have a headache from Tre please she was the same way season 1. What changed maybe the successes she's had recently? You all thought she was going to tank after the bankruptcy but she fooled you all. Now, she does not use the Brownstone for her big events and your losing money. Way to go Tre!!!!
Become a family unuted together for once and all. If you can't stand by one another for whatever reason then be togther for eachother... Lesons learned are greatly mistaken and family needs to stand by one another togeher always. I understand that feelings sometimes are bad and hurt one another and are hard to work out toghether but if family means what you all say it does than you will try and do whatever it takes to make it work within the family unit.. Teresa, Caroline, and Jacqueline and Kathy hope you all can work together to bring your own families together and hopefully have a common ground to work towards and connect to. Family means everythinng hope you all see it before it is too late to try and work it all out. You the woman have to be the stronger ones to lay it out and say" Hey this is where we are and need to be"... Keep the faith girls and may "God watch over us all"...
D watch over you all ..
it is all about ratings, these people all of them including you Caroline really produce drama and awkward moments so it will make the pages of some newspaper, online blog, or any other outlet. bunch of #@%^ (crap) show, in which I will never watch again. Caroline if the video doesn't lie why do you? all of you on the real housewives of New Jersey are way out of touch and tell lies and produce drama at the expense of family and friends all of you go to hell.
Caroline,
You wanted to do good for PATERSON go to down town Paterson and feed the homeless and hungry. I am sure you all throw away tons of food at the BROWNSTONE just because your rich and you are not hungry and homeless. Or better yet do something with your spare time get off the tv and volunteer in a hospital 8-)
Caroline,
Your right the camera doesnt lie. You are the fake on this show the number #1
fake.
I guess you will be the Villain this upcoming season...Guess what? You earned it.
You are one classy lady. We are all human and make mistakes. Our character is based not upon how we initially react to a situation, but how we learn from it. Isn't that what live is all about? You rock!
Catching up on my DVR'd shows and just watched the reunion... All I have to say is that your attitude SUCKED! I lost a lot of respect for your character watching that! WOW! You act like a child but claim to be such a matriarch. Shame on you!
Caroline - I admire your relationship with your husband and your children. I like how level headed you are and the calm and confidence you exude. You are an inspiration!
You are a mean and very judgemental person when you live in a huge glass house. Get some manners.
The show wouldnt be the same without all of u. i love watching ur family, i know Greg received alot of grief last season but i think he is hilarious and i hope he come back this year! it is so funny reading some of these posts from viewers who get so worked up! i love watching because its entertaining and sometimes i find myself yelling at the tv (LOL!!!!) but at the end of the day i know alot of it is made up and edited, but i still cant keep from watching! i am one addicted kitty cat! cant wait for the new season to begin!
I cannot wait to watch this season. I hope there is one more character added who hopefully puts you in your place. It seems you and all the ladies (I use that lightly) have one thing in common, you are not happy unless you have at least one person to pick, argue and fight with. The whole lot of you are sneaky, manipulative and backstabbing. You were right when you said you were never Teresa's friend, because your actions are not of any friend I have ever had. I at least hope this season shows maybe just a smidgen of class, maturity, self respect and dignity (you have none of these despite your claim).
I like you Caroline.
You come out of this with your head held high - rightfully.
Some people just have to keep drama around to Stay in the Spotlight. It's sad, ,,, and When their 15 minutes of fame is over ... they have nothing left. Not even knowing themselves.
So cudos to you! I like you... You are a respected woman with integrity! :)
Caroline,
I really used to like you, and have respect for you. However, I don't know what the hell happened (because trust me, what you say in your blog, is not what I witnessed watching every show) to you. To have such anger and harbor such ill feelings toward Teresa is just incredibly immature, despicable and outrageous - for what - a reality show??? Please! While Teresa may not be able to articulate herself, to just about call her stupid is vile from one woman to another. Also, Caroline, go back & watch the shows and #1) see how your entire family (especially your kids) make fun of Teresa, #2) listen to all the digs your newfound friend Melissa (guess it doesn't bother you that Melissa was chatting away with Danielle on FB to get scoop and get onto the show) said about Teresa, #3) no excuse in the world for a brother to ever call his sister garbage (no less on national TV) and NOT apologize for it), and now here you are pushing the envelope and assisting in the demise of the Guidice family - how dare you? Is it only your family that is exempt, do other families matter? You sound so angry and always look so miserable, I have no idea why you are even still on this show. And, finally, as you can see from the date I'm writing this, as the news broke out on Twitter today, YOU have to post this comment with a link to a People Magazine article about Teresa and drama for S4. Watching S3 reunion was unwatchable, and you all came across like nasty children. Shame on you for that. Because of YOU and your new hatred/despise for Teresa, thank you, but I will have to bow out of watching ladies fight like animals. Lost all respect for you. Sound a little angry - well, that's how your blog came off.
Let the backlash begin. You should practice what you preach.
Oh Dear Caroline! I'm a fan of yours but I so wanted you to back off of Teresa. It's like fighting with a child, the moment you start you have already lost. Teresa is, well, Teresa, screws not only loose but missing. The poor thing can barely form a sentence... I love that you love your family with the depth and passion you do, but we saw you lie protecting your family before , your credibility is now questionable. You stooped to Teresa's level that night and I was sad to see it. Reading your blog I understand your emotional state but still wanted you to be the Caroline we used to love. I think you said it best when you said you thought you were getting more stupid by the moment- surround yourself with the Cathy's of the world, not the Teresa's....
So happy that you gave Cathy a chance. We lover her and her family as we do you and yours! I so hope you are not blinded by the beautiful Melissa. She is just a much smarter and sexier version of Teresa.
Open your eyes Caroline and be the momma bear we love but save the mud slinging for the swine. You're better than that.
Caroline,
Though I followed the show through to the reunions...i have now read your blog regarding all that has occurred. It is simply sad that people thrive on twisting and embellishing things with their small minds. Teresa needs to put her attitude in low gear and listen and not hear stuff that isn't even being said. I thought she was smarter. She has proven to everyone that she is manipulative and deceiptful. You are an amazing mom, wife, woman and person and anyone would be proud to have you as a friend. Your wisdom, integrity morale speaks volumes in comparison Teresa is very superficial. I hope things have gotten better and your family is in a better place. Take care and do look forward to seeing you again on the show. Continued blessings.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.....that is all you have! You acted like an immature high school mean girl to Theresa at the reunion. instead of apologizing you make excuses and blame Theresa for your meanness. I don't ever remember Theresa ever asking for your or Jaquelines help with her family. You just stuck your nose where it didn't belong. I hope they just scrap the episodes that have been filmed. I imagine by reading these comments, most people don't want to see you on the show anymore. I also lost respect for Jacqueline when she didn't show for the reunion.
I think it is high time that Teresa gets called out. It needed to happen. I love Caroline and think the show would not be the same if she was not there. You had Danielle and now you have Teresa. Every season has a villain. Caroline is AWESOME!!!!
Teresa is a fake. Caroline you rule!
My heart goes out to you. I do not care what is going on with you and Dina, Teresa brought that out to cruley hurt you. If Dina watches that show she will see that, and see your heart. Fame has destroyed Teresa. Drop ties with her, you deserve better. I feel for Kathy, Melissa and her brother Joe, they HAVE to deal with her. Stay strong
