Season 2
Season 1
Hello! And congratulations! Did a fist fight just break out somewhere? Apparently that's all I have to say to cause a ruckus...
This week's episode was a lot easier to watch, obviously, because it was mostly about Halloween. I'm a summer girl, but I love the holidays. Everyone looked so cute in their fall clothes with their boots and little faux fur vests. Carving pumpkins at Jacqueline's house was great. And yes, we did send the kids away as soon as we started talking about the christening. I didn't want my kids to hear any of that. (And no, I didn't let them watch last week's episode either.) I'm glad baby Joey didn't know what was going on at his christening, but unfortunately my Gia did. I'm so sad she had to see any of that. I never expected in a million years that my brother would erupt like that, especially in front of his goddaughter. It's one of the millions of reasons I walked away immediately. I do not want to fight with my family ever, especially not in front of our kids and our parents, and especially not on TV.
Someone asked me an interesting question this week -- if the roles were reversed and I was asked to be on a show Melissa had been on already (knowing going on it would hurt our family) would I do it? Not in a million years. And certainly not for any opportunities being on TV might bring you. Nothing, nothing is worth breaking up your family -- not fame, not money, not anything. I'm a smart girl. If I wanted to still write a book, I think I could find a way to get it published. I do live near New York City. If I wanted to be a singer, I would audition for The Voice or something. Nothing is worth putting your family into situations like this.
Gia cried at school this week, because the kids were making fun of her family. I never, ever thought that would happen. Yes, I know, I flipped a table on Danielle. That's different. When someone on the outside is messing with your family and friends and trying to bully everyone, you stand up for yourself. I'll always stand up for myself, my family, and my friends. I never thought I would be in a position like this with anyone in my own family. It's beyond heartbreaking. I know I keep using that word, but it's the only word I can think of that comes close to describing this... Everyone keeps writing me that I look so much sadder this season, even in interviews about the show, and that's because I am sad. This hurts. I never wanted this, and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. All I can do is take things one day at a time, hold my head high, and hope for a brighter future!
Teresa, you have to take responsibility for the mess your family is in as well! Seems like you keep blaming everyone but in this episode for instance, there was no reason to go after your cousin the way you did. She did not call you a bad mother and yes, she had Audriana...it was in the footage! You need to control your anger and STOP talking smack about your family..calling them names etc! You all need to get some class!
My heart goes out to you this season. I can't even imagine what you have been going through. I miss the fun loving Teresa. Hopefully this gets better because it has been really hard to watch this family drama played out on tv. Keep your head up & I really respect how you don't bash Melissa on your interviews or your blog.
Love your attitude towards this unfortunate situation you have found yourself in definitely backing you with what you say and what I see myself in the episodes so far. I can’t say I am a fan of your sister in law she doesn’t come across very nice to me anyway just keep being fabulous and I hope your relationship with the Caroline and Jacquelyn doesn’t change!! xx
Teresa,
Keep holding your head up high. You are a passionate woman and it shows in the love for your family, all of it. Your SIL did not even know that your mother was at the fashion show. That shows how much family means to her, she is all about her face time. Same with Kathy, anything to get involved with a story.
Teresa you are awesome for always taking the high road!! Continue to do you and leave the negativity outside your door!
Melissa showed her true colors when she befriended Kim G. and stood there when Kim was talking badly about you. A good sister in law would have walked away.
Which side do we take? We as Americans take sides. East coast vs. West coast, Democrat vs. Republican, Conana vs. Leno ! Americans do end up taking sides, that is how this country rolls, unfortunately. Your brother's side say it's all you......you say it's because of Melissa etc.
Back and forth...back and forth. Exhausting. But we do ultimately take sides.
Hang inthere Teresa. Melissa is simply looking for her 15 minutes and her sister Lysa......... I could tell right from the first episode when she was making comments while sipping a drink before the christening that she had an agenda with you. And she turned it on with her comment at the table about you being invited was a "technicality" She is immature and looking to start problems. I wouldn't give her the time of day.
And Kim G........ how old is she? This is not an old lady comment, she acts like she is 13! Grow up lady and find a hobby that doesn't include digging for gossip and acting like your in middle school.
I do hope you resolve things with your brother, family should never fight like that but he was way out of line and for him and Melissa to think it was you and Joe that started it.... maybe they need to watch the footage again, your brother lunged first!
I have mixed feelings about Kim G. On one hand she clearly wants to be on TV and will do anything for some airtime. On the other hand her hurling insults about danielles "square tits" to her face was one of the greatest moments in all of the housewives history. lol
teresa, you are the best...no matter what is happening in your family...it can always be fix...and for gia, kids just bully because they are jealous and have parents with no manners...gia, hold your head up high!
Teresa, I can see all this family drama has taken its toll on you. Just focus on your beautiful girls, your husband and your work. You should be very proud of what you've accomplished. Family relationships can be tough at times. Maybe your brother will see himself on TV and decide to change his behavior.
Teresa, Your an AMAZING woman... keep doing what your doing do not worry about anybody but your family. Hopefully everything gets fixed for the sake of the children.
Love Ya!
It is not the fact that you say hello - it is the fact that you insist others respond to you. You demand attention. Just like when Caroline was talking to Kathy and Melissa - you shouted at her as if she had not right or reason to talk to them. This event was in her "home". As a perceived hostess, it was her responsibility to greet and make nice with everyone. But you seemed to be afraid of Caroline talking to them. I think you have an amazing dynamic, and enjoy you on the show, but, in reality, it seems you have some security issues you need to work out. I believe you will always be a high maintenance woman, and I believe that you are strong enough to ensure that you can provide that maintenance for yourself. But there seems to be a need to deflect any good attention to yourself instead of letting others shine. The spotlight is very big - there is room for all of you to have some.
You are a Taurus, like me and an amazing woman. Now I totally get why you are very nice and sweet but can get ticked in a second if rubbed the wrong way...that is the bull in you!!! But Tauruses are also down to earth, very loving, nurturing and strong people. I just love how you keep your head held high, despite all the negativity from your own blood. I can honestly feel your pain watching these past 2 episodes. But you are the epitome of class.
I loved watching you run around the house in your halloween costume, you seemed very happy and in your comfort zone. I am praying that the season ends on a lighter note, but from reading Melissa's and Kathy's post, I doubt it. It is very sad, but just continue being positive...you are doing an amazing job. Love, love, love you!!!!
Teresa I wish you the best in life. You and Joe seem like such good people. I wrote a comment on Melissa's blog giving my opinion on the vileness of what she is doing. In addition to my comment to her and your brother you cannot let these people ruin you. Let your brother know you are there when he wants to be close with you again and then cut him off. As much as it hurts the consequences of staying in this vilenss will hurt you, Joe, and children much more. You cannot be healthy in an unhealthy destructive situation. It is impossible. You owe it to your children, husband and yourself to have a happy healthy life. Not to be subjected to this viciousness for the rest of you life. If your brother wants to hand his power over to his wife and inlaws and take that path that is his problem. He will never be happy no matter how much he pretends to be. This does not have to be your problem any longer. Family needs to act like family not just be related. Move on and go have a happy life with your beautiful family. You will move past this and it will be like another lifetime ago. Go live a beautiful life and let them go. Also, Melissa and Kathy are boring to watch. I rather watch Danielle at least she did not eat her yound.
Teresa, we love you and support you. I too noticed that you were sad on watch what happens live. I can see that you want your family to be mended. I hope that time will do just that. Make everything right again. I can't imagine what the talks with Gia have been like. I have a 10 year old and know that they are very in tune with what is going on around them. She must be going through a rough time. No child should witness someone (especially their godfather) call their mother garbage. I feel for you so much. I know what a good mom you are and how much your kids mean to you. Kathy needs to mind her own business. I don't like how she is choosing sides in this. You did nothing wrong. How is a congratulations considered rude and a fight starter. They should have just said thanks and you all would be great with eachother. I hope for your familie's sake that these things can be worked out. Good luck to you. I'll be watching to see if things get better.
Keep your head up, I am SO sad to watch what is happening this season. I am sorry for your family but you have great children and a loving husband and that is a wonderful blessing. Can't wait to get the new book! God bless your family!
Youre a terrific person. Your sister in law should have never been allowed on the show. Bravo knew what kind of stuff would be started. It's sad. I have been obsessed with this your show...until now. Now it's sad. I cant' stand that we lost Dina and now brought in so much ugly. Hang in there Teresa. You're FAB!!! You should know America supports you.....WWHL showed you that America supports you! Stay classy!! Kansas City loves you, your babies and Juicy Joe!!! Love love love for Teresa!
You are a Taurus, like me and an amazing woman. Now I totally get why you are very nice and sweet but can get ticked in a second if rubbed the wrong way...that is the bull in you!!!

Love, love, love you!!!!
Not sure we're hearing the whole story here but perhaps it comes out through the season. Seems there must be more of a problem other than your brother & sister-in-law wanted to be on the show. Nothing that simple would get such a reaction as your brother displayed. This whole thing seems a little too messy for TV and should not have been dragged in front of cameras.
Teresa, stay the classy one. Keep your head high and avoid those people who only want to bring you down. Every single person has skeletons and troubles and we just have to pick ourselves back up and keep going. Your brother and his horseface wife are WRONG. Avoid them and let them come to you and they will.
Hi Teresa, I am sorry about what going on with your family, Make amends, I have lost 2 brothers to illness. I am lucky I am no regrets about my relationship with them. But also you have to take responsility in your actions. You take responsibility for nothing. When confronted with the truth you flip, Did you in fact watch the episode and see the Kathy did remove your baby from the ruckus?
Teresa...keep your head high...my opinion is you should stay away from your brother and his manipulative wife...but I understand he's your brother and it's hard...my heart goes out to you..sometimes friends are better than family...anyway in spite of my not liking them...I hope for your sake and your family that everything gets resolved...God Bless you.
Teresa, i love love love you! So sorry this is happening with your family, I come from a big family of 6 girls and 1 boy and I can tell you we have never attacked my brother's wife the way Melissa does you. No matter what she has done. Family is family and you protect your family at all costs. I'm so sad for you, I hope you can find your joy and peace in all of this. I was away from some of my sisters for about 8 years while we all worked out our issues. It took my parents deaths to bring us back to the tight knit group we once were, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I remember one time while we were fighting someone said something about my sister and although she was a friend I almost bite her head off, you don't talk about someones family, ever. I will be praying hard for you, Joe, Joey and Melissa that you can find peace during this very hardtime. There are no sides here, no winners, just keep your head up and know you are loved and valued by all your sexy fans ( I just love saying that!)
keep yur head up high Teresa.....keep doing what you do best! Being a great Mom, wife & author of bestselling books!!! Don't let the drama distract you! I do hope & pray you & your brother can patch things up!
I agree that melissa should have looked for her own opportunity at fame some other way...it is so beyond obvious that she is jealous of you & everything you have accomplished. You are the real deal, she is the wannabe!
God Bless!!!
You def. do look sad this season.As if your mind is holding way to much! Hang in there lady jane! XOXOXO
Teresa, you're an incredible lady and my heart really does hurt for you. I won't trash Melissa (as tempting as it is) because at the end of the day, she is the mother of your beautiful niece and nephews. However, you are the epitome of class and grace and she clearly isn't. My prayers and thoughts are with you and I hope that when all is said and done, your family is stronger and better for it. Love, love, love you!
My prayers are with you and your family. I can't imagine what you are going through, watching your family drama unfold on national tv. Keep your chin up, Teresa, and God Bless.
TEAM TERESA! No worries, your viewers still adore you! Every family has their drama, and watching the 1st episode your brother started it all. Shame on them and they should accept responsibilities. Clearly your brother has anger issues and for him to start with you at his sons Christening was heartbreaking. If they didnt want drama there then you should not have been invited. Your sister in law looks like she loves the drama and likes the tv time for sure. Your cousin is a drama starter as well.... No worries Teresa~! Hopefully next year those two will be offf the show and 2 new gals can come in. I would rather have Danieele still on then these two... and I can not stand Danielle!
I love you Teresa!! I'm so sorry for everything your family is going through. I really hope you and Joey get to patch things up in the future! I think you are really handling everything with class! I loved you and Jaqueline last night on WWHL....G to the IA!!!!!
Oh Teresa I'm so sorry to hear about your girls beig teased. I must admit I doubted exactly how "heartbroken" you are about the family issue, but for some reason I got it when I read this blog. I hope you and your family were able to come to some kind of resolution. Blessings to you all.
You continue to write classy blogs...kudos for you. AND you made a lot of great points! Anyone watching last night could see what Kim G. was really trying to do (yes, more air time). My eyeballs should be hurting from how many eye rolls I did everytime she opened her mouth! She was horrible at Posche and at the fashion show. Even your cousin looked uncomfortable with the things she was saying to her at Posche. She totally forgot how to act her age. Just let her be a bitter "elderly" person!
Also, in my opinion, your sister-in-law is obviously out for fame and fortune (along with her sisters...is that how you should act when someone walks in a fashion show?) Tack with an e...and the e being Kim G. at the table making it worse!
I loved your dress in the fashion show. You did a great job walking. Classy and professional unlike your sil, the peacock.
You get defensive for no reason a lot of the time. You also have a bad temper. BUT what happened at the christening was NONE of your fault and ALL of your brother and his wife's fault! You walked away several times but they kept finding a way to pull you back in. They think because it was their party that they can act however they want with no consequence. WRONG! We see straight through them.
Love you Teresa!! You are the only reason I watch this show! Keep your chin up! We all go through hard times, yours is just on tv with a family turning on you to try and be famous! Hang in there. You are the real deal and America knows it!
You do seem alot sadder this season. I had high hopes because Danielle was gone but apparently Bravo sold you out and decided a story line involving the conflict in your family is worth some ratings. I understand your seemingly coldness toward Andy Cohen last night. Good luck Teresa.
Teresa keep doing what your doing, things will get better with your family in time, it is obviously melissa's constant negative comments in your brothers ear that is the real problem!! Your an awesome mom and are always very involved with them! Melissa and kathy are just jealous of all the fans you have! Love love love love you!!
Teresa -
I hope your family and move forward; with all the issues that have been festering for years. Melissa needs not to put more grease to the fire. Seeing your brorher Joey pain in his eye (as wife) she needs to be full his void with love and support and not be so negative.
I love, love, love you. Yes, I also think you look sad. You seem disconnected....especially last night on Andy Cohen. I hope you get your Happy back.





I admire you Teresa!! Keep your head up and continue to have faith that everything will be ok!! :) God bless you, Joe, and your beautiful girls!
