You should watch this episode over and over and attempt to learn from it. That was honestly, without a doubt, the worst apology I have ever seen. I used to really like you, but I think you are mentally derailing. You need some help.

HI Teresa,

While your book took a few potshots (not too cool) it was really informative and really a great read. You cna wirte a book without the potshots. On WWHL last night I was among the 60% that said your apology shoudl be accepted byt he rest of the crowd. I think Caroline is a bully - always thought so and she does not know what the word loyalty means - it means even when someone disaapoints you, you stay loyal. WHat the heck was she thinking to be friends wiht your family? I still do not like your cousin Kathy or her really annoying husband. But I love her kids. I am ready for Caroline and Kathy to leave the show - not her family - just her. at any rate - I love you, and to tell you the truth, your hubby is a disappoinment but I am still your fan!!

Loved you on Celebrity Apprentice! Team Tre!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thank you for not blaming everything on editing. Bravo does a fine job showing everyone's true colors. You didn't have to apologize. A strip carwash is an exploitation of women hello remember women like Virigina Woolf and Octavia Butler did they work in a car wash to sell books. Great job Tre!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teresa - do you understand what an apology means? It doesnt mean "if you took offense to it, I'm sorry" why dont you find out WHY they took offense to it? you took jabs at them personally & professionally and then wrote them in your book. and what melissa said is correct - they took one for the team so you can make a few extra dollars. with your situation, you need all the $ you can get....

THERESA- I'm so tired of hearing what you have to say, or reading what you write. I like the other women, though, so I just hit the mute button when you are featured on the show.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE you Teresa! Stop apologizing to Caroline Melissa and Jacqueline... they don't want to move on ... they are stuck in jealousy of you and your success with 2 cookbooks, Fabellini, and Celebrity Apprentice. Keep your chin up.. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE HOUSEWIFE! xoxoxox

Teresa, thanks for the reminder that all this happened last year. I hope everything works out well for you and that you are truly in a better place today.

Teresa, I have always been a fan of yours. I have both Skinny Italian, and Fabulicious, and I really enjoy trying your recipes. I'm glad to hear you and Jacqueline are working towards mending fences. That was a friendship I was sad to hear had ended. Of course we do not know everything that has gone on, or is still happening with your family, but I hope you will continue to work towards forgiving one another, and truly being there for each other. Your brother loves his wife, so you have to remember despite any differences that you have, that she will always be in your life. Good luck to you, I hope you continue to do great things.

While I admit I haven't been your biggest fan in the past, the way you have been ganged up on since Melissa and Kathy came onto the scene is just awful. Like many people I have family members that I don't care for. I may discuss their behavior with other family members, lamenting over their latest selfish act (which I admit is totally unbecoming of me) but I would never, ever discuss any of this in public. And if someone outside of the family said something about them you'd better believe I would have their back. While I think you have made mistakes in the past, their campaign of hatred is disgusting. They act like you are the instigator, yet 95% of their time on screen is spent ripping you apart. If there is that much animosity, you don't air it all out in public if you are truly trying to reconcile. The BBQ scene was almost too much for me to watch. Kathy's mother was the only one with enough sense to try to shut it down. It's sneaky and conniving and I don't buy their victim act for a second (luckily the majority of viewers don't either). I really feel for you and I hope that you have good, true friends outside of this show because regardless of whether or not you guys end up patching things none of these people have a pure heart (save for maybe Jacqueline). Hopefully you really are in a better place now, but even if you weren't, no one deserves this kind of treatment from their family on national television.

I don't care what anyone says, you are far from perfect, but I don't think you are "evil" like your castmates are trying to portray you. I think Caroline is a liar and trouble-maker, and if people don't follow her lead....watch out! I think Jaqueline is just a mess! Season 1 she hated Dina, season 2 Danielle, and now you. She's unforgiving and disposes of people like they are items. Your family joined this show to improve their lives and status, which is fine, but they were absolutely going to destroy you along the way....that is mind-boggling and inexcusable to me...i mean why????

Another great blog Teresa! I hope things continue to improve for you. I do think the Mellissa, Joey, and Caroline and her crew are toxic for you. Kathy and her crew - who even cares?

Loved the blog, Teresa! I'm glad you always keep it classy!

Teresa, I don't know why but I do believe that you are sincere w/ your apology. I do believe that you feel bad about the way things between you and your family and friends have spiraled...however, I also think that those that are the closest to you should know you better and have more faith in you. With you, "what you see is what you get". That's not a bad thing. They should learn how to take you at face value and have a little more confidence not only in themselves but you as well. If they can't do those things...then they're not worth your time. They should ALL be reflecting on some of the nasty things they've said, ON CAMERA and be apologizing right back. No one's perfect...they certainly aren't yet that never seems to come into play when they're judging you. Enjoy your family and your the new adventures that are coming your way!!

I just love you .Without you there would be no show.

love you teresa ! i hope Joe Guidice is in a better place also a year later

Keep your head up and don't worry about your sister-in-law or the other childish housewives. Worry about you, your husband and your daugthers. We all know the only reason Melissa or Kathy came on the show was to bring you down. We see it. All they do is talk bs! You should give them this quote from Bob Marley.

Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect. And I don't live to be. But before you start pointing fingers, MAKE sure your hands our clean!

They are just jealous of you that your career has taken off and their's really hasn't. I don't hear Melissa on the radio here in SC so it must not be that big. You have been to a couple of book signings here in SC and you were just at the blue ridge festival. I would have loved to have seen you but my cousin got married that day.

Love watching you on Celebrity Apprentice too. I just started watching cause of you. :)

Hi Teresa,

This is the first blog I have seen from you that seemed like you were genuinely sorry for hurting your friends and family. There were less excuses and more actions. Humility looks great on you. This is also the first blog I have read where I am starting to like you. It has always been clear that you love your kids, husband, and brother. Now you are proving that you love your friends and sister-in-law. Truly a wonderful thing to see.

Now you are proving that you love your friends and sister-in-law. Truly a wonderful thing to see.

I admire the way you are handling the situation today. At this point, all you can do is press forward. It's really sad to watch, but know that all you can do is say sorry, if people don't believe you are sincere, than it becomes their problem.

Teresa, God how I feel sorry for you. Ya know, they had every newspaper article there was that was negative about Joe draped across their kitchen counters all last season in EVERY scene , to absolutely set up every scene to destroy you and embarras you. The one scene where your pitiful, disgrace of a brotehr (eww) has a negative article about him written, the producers cut to The Manzo thugs, not focusing on th e article, like they did with you, where we watched your own family trash you and Joe and your predicaments, NOPE, they show The MAnzo THUGS, talking trash about Joe because Mommy is mad.

That house scene was so obviously a set up, it was almost funny. They walk in the house saying we still like hanging out with Joe , even though my Mom hates him, yea right? Then they spend the entire evening with sour pusses and using the talking heads interviews to trash you guys more. Very disturbing. You bet Caroline had the strings for that night. No wonder Diona wants nothing to do with her. Why didn't we hear more about that article that was on your brother. Because YOU TWO are too classy to rip your little brother apart on air. UNLIKE your sickening , fame seeking broteehr and his wife. Uhg, please tell me that's the last time we have to hear her song to your mealy mouth brother. I'm so sorry your little bro0tehr and his wife have done this to you Teresa. I really am. This show is becoming too disturbing to watch. CUT clean and do your own show or none. They will have no show without you and they know it. How does your brotehr and his wife sleep at night. That new song scene was a complete set up,,,and she calls you fake. They are really awful people.

You and your so called loving husband are a joke!

Be careful...stick to only the positive and keep trying to put a "smile on your face." Try not to rehash, restate or reignite. Keep working toward true, honest and heartfelt reconciliations, I believe in you.

If you were so interested in ending all the negativity and repairing your family relationships you wouldn't have just written what you did about Melissa and the first time you met her. As a viewer I don't see your relationship as stable, your children are not well mannered and I see you as an opportunist at many levels both in your personal life and your professional life. You really need to take a long look at yourself Teresa, you are at the center of all your problems.

Teresa, I have gained respect for you after watching The Apprentice. ( how can you stand Lampanelli ) ?

Move on......Jacqueline seems to be A Beast Of Burden with no remorse of her own.

A New Fan

It's not the apology that counts, Teresa- it's the sincerity. You apologize, then cancel it out with another remark. "I'm sorry they didn't understand the joke, but didn't they see the nice things I wrote" is not an apology. It's like me saying my sister is a dumb b**** who sings well. It's all true, but that doesn't make it right, classy or appropriate. Your friends and family want you to aplogize for taking cheap shots at them to sell cookbooks to the Bravo audience. I'd recommend letting your next book sell on the merits of your cooking and not asides about your family and friends.

Another positive blog! You're wonderful for being supportive of Melissa and Jacqueline here and moving forward day by day. It's not your fault if some grown women don't know how to accept an apology and move on. Keep doing what you do so well: smiling, loving your family and keeping us entertained!

You go girl!! The tides are a turning...and those other housewives are just riding the Teresa Wave!!!

Hi Teresa, I just hate to see the pain in your face. I truley feel you have been misunderstood. I know you have been and still are going through alot right now. I know your brother and sister in law and the rest of them love you very much. I feel sometimes you find it hard to say what your want to say and it comes out wrong. Just try to think what you want to say before you say it. Keep the faith sweetheart, it will all work out in the end. Love Ya ;)

Tre don't stray from keeping your blogs positive kid. Don't stoop to the same level the other HW's ( cough cough Caroline ) is stooping to. We don't have to " read between the lines " to see the venom and know where and why it's directed at you. Cookbook envy anyone ? If anything it makes it even more clear to the viewers where Mrs. Manzo is coming from and it ain't from a world filled with light and love. She has never taken any responsibility for her vindictive behavior towards you or the other housewife she went out of her way to destroy. Poor Melissa and Kathy don't realize that if they become successful and you leave they will be on the Manzo hit list. The success of others ( or their children ) doesn't appear to endear Momma Manzo it makes her pea green with envy. Do you Kid.

No one believes that the problems depicted on the show are about the cookbook.

You have completely lost touch with reality. I love the show but it is so hard to watch scenes that you are in, destroying your relationship with your brother, playing the blame game, trying to make yourself rise above everyone else, the denial your in with your dunce of a husband. Sickening really! You lead a delusional selfish life, I just wish it was off camera.

I was a big fan, I loved you before Melissa came on the show, but I will admit I didn't like the person she brought out of you. I didn't like the way you seemed to be attacking everyone. That being said, I'm still a fan, I love that you're working on yourself and your family, and I LOVE YOU ON CELEBRITY APPRENTICE! As for Melissa & Joe, I'm just a viewer and I'm positive a lot more things happen behind the scenes and you didn't ask my advice but I'm going to offer it anyway. Just be supportive of them, whether she's a gold digger or not, she is not just his wife she is the mother of their 3 children, and your niece and nephews. There will always be rumors, but unless you see it for yourself, don't acknowledge it because in the end it will only effect your relationship with your brother. You will always be his sister, she may or may not always be his wife but she will ALWAYS be the mother of his children and for that he will ALWAYS put her first. Like you said what we're seeing is a year ago so I don't know where you guys are with your relationship but I think your a good person, and you have good intentions. You wouldn't like things being said about your Joe, you're always going to have his back too so try to see things from their perspective. I think your awesome continue being fabulous! Ps your terrorist children are adorable!

Xoxo Jess

i know my comment want make it on your blog...but anyway. i think your brother loves you and your girls very much. i think he knows his wife is not able to love you like he does and he has to accept tha factt. my sister and her husband had a very very strong marriage (20yrs) and my brother-in-law was awesome. i am the oldest and my husband and i have been married for 24yrs. well once i went to my brother-in-law in private and told him not to let my sister stress him out so much. i said u know it's okay to tell her no sometimes. i never dreamed he would go and tell her what i said. my sister was devastated and i was mortified because i love her and i love them!! i tried to understand why he thru me under the bus and then it hit me. i said the words he really wanted to say to my sister but he couldn't so he used me as his mouthpiece. i forgave him and my sister forgave me. but that one never happened again. if your brother has to use u as his mouthpiece then so be it. melissa knows why he shared the comment....that's why she was offended that he brought it back to her. hopefully their kids will know that you meant that union no harm and u never thought he would put u out there like that or u would have been mum. wishing you and your lovely girls happiness. wishing u and your hubby 50 more yrs and lots of money. and wishing u and your brother a lifetime bond. keep smiling teresa.

Teresa,

Ever since last season's reunion, I have seen real growth and improvement on your part. I want to commend you for that. Despite the fact that all of your castmates, with the exception of Kathy (not including her blogs this season, which I'm not liking for the passive-aggressive digs and the condescending advice to the viewer to "read between the lines"), have been bashing you relentlessly on interviews and on Twitter, you have refused to respond in kind and have taken the high road. And I am sure that has NOT been an easy thing to do. I admire and respect that tremendously.

Good for you and congratulations! I haven't always been a fan of yours, but, because of the growth I have seen from you since last season's reunion, I have become one. I also admire and respect your tremendous strength in continuing to push forward in the face of serious obstacles. I'm rooting for you on the Real Housewives; on Celebrity Apprentice; and in your life in general.

There is always room for growth and redemption. I see both of those things with you and your behavior these past few months. Please keep up the good work and know that I, along with MANY other viewers, am rooting for you. Keep your head held high. I haven't bought any of your cookbooks yet, but, based on the first two episodes and the constant bashing you are getting, I plan to buy ALL of them. I also plan to buy several bottles of your Fabellini.

Keep going, Teresa. Don't let jealous, hypocritical, unfair, backstabbing friends and family members get you down. God sees ALL. Continue to focus on handling your business without stooping to respond to any of the viciousness thrown your way (just like you've been doing for the past few months), and God will see you through to the other side.

XOXOXO to you and your beautiful girls!!

TERESA,

THE ENTIRE CAST OF RHONJ NEEDS TO GET OVER THEMSELVES, AND THIS WHOLE APOLOGY OVER THE COOK BOOK THING IS JUST AN EXCUSE FOR THEM TO BE ANGRY WITH YOU AND JUSTIFY THEIR JEALOUSY... JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO AND AND IGNORE THE HATERS... BUT WORD TO THE WISE---BRAVO HAS DONE EVERYTHING SINCE THE REUNION TO PAINT YOU AND JOE IN A BAD LIGHT, YES, JOE'S DECISIONS HAVE BEEN STUPID FOR A GROWN MAN, BUT BRAVO CAN WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT DRAMA. JOE G. REALLY NEEDS TO CLEAN UP HIS ACT AND HIS MOUTH (ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF THE GIRLS)----- AND CAN WE PLEASE STOP THE WHOLE "POISON" THING WITH JOE GORGA AND MELISSA-(IT'S WAY TOO CREEPY AND GROSS). ALL THEY EVER TALK ABOUT IS "LET'S BASH TERESA AND SEX", DO THESE TWO HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO THE PROGRAM OTHER THAN LET'S PROMOTE MELISSA AS A LEGITIMATE SINGER.?? PLEASE STOP SINGING- IT'S NOT HAPPENING - GROW UP PETER PAN.. SO OVER THE CAROLINE (I'M BOSS OF THE WORLD), WHEN HER HUSBAND IS DIRTY TOO--LET'S SEE, HER GROWN KIDS BASH TERESA BUT WHAT HAVE THEY DONE (OTHER THAN QUIT THEIR BUSINESS), BECAUSE THEY COULDNT DEAL WITH REALITY--(LAUREN, WITH THE MAKE-UP THING), AND THE STUPID BLACK WATER? AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON ASHLEE... I THINK THE JERSEY PEOPLE NEED TO REALLY LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE THEY CAST STONES AT TERESA BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL DRINKING SOME WEIRD KOOL-AID AND NEED TO FIX THEMSELVES FIRST...

It sounds like you're in a really good place now. I hope all of last year's issues have been resolved and put to rest. Your friends and family were very mean to you. It was terrible. If it's any consolation, they made themselves look far worse than they made you look. It's time they apologized to you and I think Andy Cohen also owes you an apology for bringing your family on the show without telling you about it. They caused you much needless agony.

It is quite an accomplishment to wind up in the last 5 on CA. It would be great if you can repair your relationship with Jacqueline. She seemed to be one of the least hateful of the group. But if you can't, then so be it. Keep taking the high road. It suits and enhances you.

There you go again not taking blame for your actions.

You are such a class act. Nothing but love for you

Thanks for keeping your blog positive. It does seem like everyone is against you even when you are trying to make things better. No one is perfect and they have all said mean things about you and the subliminal digs are the worst. You can only apologize but so many times. I think as long as the RHONJ include your family there will always be tension because of the interviews, gossip magazines etc. I honestly think you need to have more respect for Melissa because she will always be a part of your family since she is the mother of your neice and nephews. The same applies for Joey and his respect for Joe. Whatever your feeling about Melissa are keep them private, vent to your mom and not on camera or in blog. You don't have to like her but respect her as your brothers wife. If she is a gold digger than so be it your brother enjoys spending his money on her and if she does leave him for someone else she is a fool. You cant protect your brother from his wife, he is a grown man and he will be with her no matter what you feel or say. Just like he can't protect you from Joe, you love Joe unconditionally and no matter what anyone says you have a family and will do anything to protect it. I wish you the best and pray you and your family can find peace and happiness soon.

BRAVO, please print- fair is fair. TERESA! Hey, thanks for the link for your book. After last night's episode, my "gang o' HW fans” friends were so mad, that this morning we decided to all go out and purchase your book. Well listen to this, we called our last standing bookstore chain and they were sold out. And, they said they already had many calls this morning about your book and wanted to know if you had an appearance here soon. I guess Miss Melissa’s plan backfired! LOL. “extra money in your pocket” my arse! What a jealous, manipulative, low life she is. Women like her never win in the end Teresa. We just ordered 27 of them! You can thank Melissa and your baby brother for this purchase. Melissa’s "release" scene was so fake we all about screamed at the TV. She called you fake at the beginning remember? Uhg, Uhg, she makes me sick, she really does. Please don't apologize to ANY of them. They are so jealous they can't breathe. I for one would like to know more about that article on your brother that they breezed over, while in contrast, they go over your troubles in depth on the show, actually reading the articles on Joe out loud. Your horrible cousin is just as bad. We really hate those women.. Anyway, please, please know we absolutely DETEST Melissa and everything she has done. Your brother is just as bad. What gives ME solace is, she will never heave the music career she wants and she's not in love with your brother- the producer was right. It's like they are just best friends. He's on to it to which is why your comment bothered him so bad. BUT I have zero sympathies for them, because they could not stand the fact that you had a successful show and you were famous. That woman came in swinging, manipulatively and cruelly. I can't believe that is your family. You are in my prayers. YOU my dear have an on air persona, and you're fabulous. Her stupid middle age pop star career is a joke in the music circles (I know, I'm in it) and karma will get her. it probably already has. Caroline? Who cares? She didn't get a piece of the reality pie and she’s BITTER and dried up. Her own daughter could have been a success but the public speaks louder than the few Teresa bashers who get on here because they have no life. The proof's in the pudding, we LOVE you- HATE Melissa, Joe and The Manzos.!!! Now, sit back and ignore the haters, it’s obvious who America loves. Let them type away on this site.

STOP APOLOGIZING. No one apologizes to you for the awful things they say about you and to you. Your brother needs to find his own way because he is completely lost with that snake of a wife. It is refreshing to see how well you and your family are doing.

Be strong Teresa. I know they are trying to make u d bad guy. All u can do is love.

I don't think anything you said about either your friends or family in the cookbook was all that insulting. They were just using it as an excuse to make you look like the bad guy and make themselves look like the victims. It's bad enough to have either friends or family gang up and turn on you but when they are both in collusion against you,that is an extremely hurtful and cruel betrayal. I'm glad you were able to get past it.

Bravo, please post. :) Teresa, I am begging you (I hope you read your blogs). I am on my knees begging you not to apologize anymore to the worst family in the world. Please Please Please...with sugar on top and a couple cherries! All kidding aside you have NOTHING to apologize for. Do you watch every season at home?? I'm sure you do, if so is their any chance you can re-watch them??? I hope so because you'll see how many times (and this is before the coughMansoncough family started) the Manzos sp??? and brats bashed you but they would say "it's a joke". Ring any bells? I just love you and your family. You have a big one, instead of trying to tell those ingrates your sorry just concentrate on your four beautiful children and Joe, and parents included, your books/book signing and so on. Teresa, just think about how peaceful your life would be, and you have your friends to hang with IF you have the time! :) I want to see Teresa being Teresa, without all those others! Love always!! :)

LOVE, LOVE YOU! Hate Melissa and your brother. Caroline and Jac are irrelevant, and what's her name. They are sooo jealous it's fun to watch them self destruct and be completely monopolized with you. Enough said.,

Keep your head high Teresa. Don't worry about the rest of them. I guess they have too much poison in them. Your doing great and doing what you love and we all love you! Never watch Celebrity Apprentice before, but will from now on because of you! Glad Mr Trump loves you and I know he counts, so take the high road. Good things are going to come and enough of the apologizes. You have done enough and if they don't accept them then it's their loss and not worth it anymore. Your fans do know what it's all about! Jealousy!

I am with you all the way Teresa. I read all of your articles and blogs and try to see what you actually say and not what Bravo or their talking heads say that you say. You are right, it must be difficult to watch stuff that happened last year when things are so different now...and to have to feel that emotion again must really hurt you and your husband and girls. They set a trap for you and now that you are in it (on the show), all you can do is ride the wave up and down until the season is over..and remember far you have come since then. Celebrity Apprentice, your improving financial situation and your personal life. It is all good now and sometimes we really do have to be in a deep valley before we can enjoy the mountain tops. What you wrote about your first impression about Melissa, should not be dismissed. Our first gut feelings about someone are correct and I see nothing wrong with what you said..it was how you felt..what is wrong with that? YOu were only worrying about your brother. My personal opinion is that your brother and Kathy's husband..do NOT seem to be interested in repairing the relationship between you and your brother. I say this because each time Melissa or Kathy seems to be warming up to getting things back to a good place with you on the show...your brother or Richie says something to their wives to hurt them about you. In season opener, while they were all eating dinner at the Shore, both Richie and your brother said things to Melissa and Kathy to shut down their semi positive remarks about you. It was like clockwork! Then Kathy's mother did what should have been done...she said :ENOUGH!!! We are all family!" Bless her!

I wouldn't buy a copy of Melissa's song if my LIFE depended on it. LOVE YOU! We are all boycotting it......

Teresa - unfortunately it seems like Bravo set you up by getting your bitter sister-in-law and cousin on the show, and more unfortunately your foolish family members fell for it. Now we see them week after week sitting and talking about you on tv - what a shame. And they talk about you with whomever is around! What an absolute shame - if my brother ever treated me like that (no matter what I supposedly did) - I would be so disgusted! You obviously got it, when will they?

Well, congrats in all of your endeavors - continue to use Bravo as they have used you!

Teresa, all you can do is say sorry. Whether they accept it, think is sincere, or not, it is no longer your problem. Just press forward and know that I, for one, admire the way you have handled yourself.
