Ramona's friend Joni IS/WAS Samantha's lesbian lover on sex and the city!

Teresa, did you forget that Bobby was sick!?! How would you feel if your so called "friend-close friend" treats you guys the way Bethenay did Jill and her family? Come on! It then escalated with Little Miss Bethenay's abusive assaults towards LuAnn and always Kelly. She's being such a bitch with the other girls too like she was with Kelly last year. I guess she doesn't know how to chew and walk at the same time. True she's in love but that doesn't mean you forget where you came from? Those ladies were tight. I love LuAnn, Jill, Alex, and Kelly. Bethenay? No.

Finally, a book written by one of the "Housewives" that I will actually buy. Skinny Italian is an awesome idea for a book.

PS: I think you are as cute as a button!!!

Teresa I absolutly love love love you!!
I cant wait until the upcoming season, you girls are my Favorite!! Also your girls are Beautiful, and I love the way you dress them, I see things on the show, and I have to go out and find them!! I have 2 girls of my own, 1 and 4!! Anyways Love You!

OMG I thought I was the only one recognizing her from somewhere......this whole feud has been blown out of proportion Jill is acting like a child I see where Jill is mad at Bethenny because Bethenny's life is finally going great and Jill feels she doesn't need her anymore so she's a bit upset..I don't think its jealousy though.

Teresa-
Finally you have seen the light when it comes to Jill, I was wondering how much crap Jill had to pull in order for you to really see how she is. I'm so glad you called her on her immature, rude, petty mean girl ways. Jill is way out of control and most of what she does in uncalled for and just plain petty. I get that she is hurt but that is no excuse to pull the crap that she does. A real woman has two options in a case like this, 1) talk it out and hopefully some resolution will come or 2) cut all ties and let it go but to involve everybody in the drama and then force people to choose sides is childish. Glad that you finally see that.
I also love your comments on Ramona, I come from an abusive household where the abuser was particularly vicious with me and I have to say that I have grown somewhat into a control freak and I never made the correalation until your blog so thank you for the insight. As always God bless you and yours.

T-

I thought the same thing about Joni...that she looked like Samantha's girlfriend Maria (played by Sonia Braga)!!!

Can't wait for Season 2 hoping to get tickets to the premiere party!

I LOVE THE NJ HOUSEWIVES!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU!
I have watched every season of housewives in all cities and above all, you and jeana from OC are the best. i just got the nj dvd, and was reminded of how fun and cute you are! You are so sweet and you and your husband make my heart melt and you are a great mom. and I love your blog! I know this is a long shot to expect an answer on but i saw that you read every comment so I will take a chance- 2 girly questions-
in the episode last year where you and danielle and jacklyn have lunch you have the cutest sundress and headband on-i LOVE it, can you tell me what brand it was or where you got it?
Also, you have the best body-especially for strapless dresses! I have to get into great upper-body shape for my sister's wedding in a strapless dress. Any tips for arms and boobies?
LOVE LOVE LOVE you!

I can't believe you have to time to blog with your growing family, but I am glad you do. Jill looked bad and I think LuAnn did too. No matter what, Bethanny reached out twice and you could see her heart was hurting. You don't always have to agree or like someone to say they were right.

First my day was made when I seen the second season starts May 3. Second congrats on the baby. Third you should be on team Bethenny. And cant wait for the cookbook

Teresa, You & the rest of the NJ Cast are modern day Mafia Wives! Who walks around w/roles of money in their pocket & pays cash for everything. And I do mean everything.

Teressa my love...you threw a table in a restaurant at another housewife that is all I am going to say....I can't wait to see your series....don't judge dear!

love you! You practically make the cast of NJ. You say it like it is, and it makes such a great show. And you totally show how tough us Jersey girls are!

I agree with you there are times when Jill looks very nasty and petty and there are also times when Bethenny looks very petty and nasty. But i think that as for the times Jill has done it compared to Bethenny is way un-proportional. Jill hasn't been as considerate towards Bethenny's feelings, quite frankly it seems as if Jill has forgotten the past her and Bethenny has had together and its a little disrespectful. I was very "team torn" like you said but not I think its made it very clear to me that I am totally team Bethenny.

Btw- Teresa I love you of all the jersey housewives your hysterical and you keep out of all the drama i can't wait till May 3rd when the new season starts :D

I just want to say from one Italian to another, I have actually done the angry table toss in my life.I laughed so hard when Teresa did it on TV!!! I loved it, I loved her true emotion!!! You did us NY/NJ Italian women proud...My husband laughed and thought it was me..lol..I will watch the show more thanks to that..lol Look forward to the new season!!

i dont know why im writing cause i think it wont be read but i have always liked bethenny because she tells the truth. she might be mean saying it but its not a load of bs. she wont say im your friend because i dont want to fight shell say im your friend because i love and care for you. like the scene with luann and kelley. but i could be wrong. i have never met her and this is just tv for all i know its all fake

I thought her friend WAS the actress from Sex And The City. She has to be. No way two people look that much alike!

It is so easy to sit on the side line and comment on "the whole NY cast" lol. I can't wait to see what happens when your in front of the cameras again. No one has forgotten the flipping of the table, girlie. Time will tell.

Since last season I have thought that Ramona's friend Joni looks exactly like Samantha's lesbian lover from SATC. I am glad I am not the only one who noticed this.

She does look like Samantha's lesbian lover! Wish you the best girl!

I agree totally with what you said, you hit the nail on the head about Jill. Very embarrasing childish behaviour, makes it hard to watch. I was on her side at first now I'm Team Bethenny!!

Wow, I agree that I'm surprised and dismayed by Jill's behavior also... I would never trust her again if I were Bethenny, regardless of how the "fight" started. Maybe Jill really does need to get a hobby! (Or maybe she could try to be more forgiving of her friends. Nobody is perfect.)
I can't wait to see H of NJ again! It will be great to see how your adorable little girls have grown. Best wishes always and God bless you.

YOU READ MY MIND! That Joni woman TOTALLY looks like Samantha's lesbian lover from SATC. All I kept thinking about during that scene was all the people that that woman looked like...in addition to Kim Cattrall's lesbian lover from Sex and the City, I thought she looked a little like Nadya Suleman, with a dash of Morticia Addams.

"PS—Am I the only one who thinks Ramona’s friend Joni looks just like Samantha’s lesbian lover Maria from Sex and the City?"

HAHA I totally said that the other day!

Love you Theresa, i'm dressing up in drag Saturday and you're my inspiration lol

finally Teresa you see who the real mean girl is!! Jill is so mean and its actually getting hard to watch how horrible she treats people on her "bad side". I'm glad youre finally being nice to Bethenney!

she TOTALLY looks like samanthas lesbian lover!! good call teresa,
love love love

Well I've always been Team Bethenny. Love her snarky comments - I believe it's a way of relieving stress and making light of things. What Jill did was just plain mean and while she may have redeemed herself a bit with her blog...I wouldn't turn my back on her. She's one lady to be feared, not to befriend.

Teresa I really like you but I think your being swayed by public opinion. It's the popular thing to like Betheny now so that's what everyone is doing, but you don't have to do the same. Stick to your principles and tell it like it is!

Teresa, you are great. Look at what you wrote! Very circumspect.

Really?? You think Bethenny would say something to make herself look better? Doubtful. Why start now, when she has been brutally honest for all these past seasons? I think she knows who she is and is comfortable with herself, and therefore, doesn't have to play games. Maybe the rest of you "real" housewives could take a lesson from her!

Dear Teresa, I am so glad you are blogging. It was perfect what you wrote about this weeks episode.

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR NJ Housewives to return!!!!! I am so excited... You and your family are amazing. And remind me of my Italian family. And I still got my big hair to prove it.

Your an amazing mom and wife.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your show!!!

I don't understand why you trash Bethenny one moment and then like her the next. Make up your mind!

Hi Teresa,

Can't wait till May 3rd! You are a riot, and I love the NJ Housewives! Your family is absolulately adorable. The girls are fabulous. I have two little boys, so "fabulous" isn't really in my vocabulary. :) Your blogs are great. Best of luck with your book! I will have to check it out.

Teresa I think you're hilarious! And all I have to say is, I think what you saw on our side of the screen was correct. Jill is being ridiculous. And I'm not even gonna get started on Lu Ann. But yes, I think we all felt bad for Bethenny, and have every reason to. Can't wait to see you're guys crazy NJ season! Don't beat anyone up! (LOL JK)
Love, Sara.

LOove Love Love You!!!! I agree with you 100% and I can't wait until the Real Housewives of New Jersey come back. Thought the same about the Ramona'a friend

Theresa ..I adore you..I find your light heart and brave soul is what we all need to have. Friendships aren't easy. If Bethany knew..she would have gone running to Jill's, side..I think Jill wants to feel soooooooooo important in her mundane life..she doesn't even really work? She loves to spend money and have friends around to enjoy her. I truly feel Jill, is an intelligent woman, but her behavior is that of someone in grade school; she hasn't grown up yet and maybe her life doesn't allow her to. She likes the underdog now..and LuAnn, is her new BFF, because as they state..LuAnn isn't alone..she has her "male" friends. I think marriages can't truly survive on distance, when a spouse isn't going to be around 6 months out of the year..that was their arrangement, an open marriage. LuAnn just got beat out by a younger chick, it happens.

I clearly felt the pain of the relationship and everyone can see clearly it was based on what little info the other was getting. I think for the most part..Jill needs someone to put her on a pedestal all the time to feel some value. Bethany, has been true to who she is all the time and she may not like the delivery but her messages stand clear. Remember the part where Bethany states, if Jill's husband was so ill. how could she be doing all these social things and acting "that" way.

Great job Theresa..I look forward to watching NJHW, the only drama I live is through TV.

Bethheny calling to set up a face-to-face was big of her and a good idea. It perhaps shows what her friendship with Jill meant to her. However, there is nothing that says Jill has to agree to meet or that she is a bad person for not doing so. Perhaps that reflects how hurt she was by the whole situation. Unless you have been in a relationship where you get to the point of "enough is enough" it is hard to understand why someone would not meet. I can totally understand why she may just want this over with. It is interesting to read their blogs in which Bethheny does a lot of talking about how Jill is this way and that way and says no hope of ever reconciling and Jill talks about wishing Bethheny the best and perhaps without the cameras in their faces and the influences of others they can rebuild.

While I do like what you are saying in general, I was not a fan of the comment about Bethheny getting married because of/before the baby arrives. That is her personal business and to each his own. Regardless of whether or not they were married before or after the birth I am sure it would not change the love that child would receive.

And why would Jill purposely hide that her husband was that sick?

I thought it was Maria! They look exactly alike. And your observations about Jill and Bethenny are spot on. Can't wait for the new season of RHONJ!!

Well said Teresa !! I can't wait until the new seaon of R.H. of New Jersey starts. I am so sick of the R.H. of New York this seaon. Its just been..well..UGKY...See you soon.

I just think everyone needs not to worry about sides and stay out of it!

Can't wait to see you in the new season. YOUr great! I love your sense of style and can't wait until your cookbook comes out.
ever think about doing tips on makeup and clothes? I'm a stay at home mom with 3 kiddies. I need some suggestions:)
take care
Dana

OMG I totally agree about Joni looking like Samantha's lover!!! In fact I met (sorta) Joni at a charity event in the fall (I work for a non-profit) and my co-worker and I were arguing over whether it was her or not. Well she ended up showing up to the event again another day and my co-worker asked her if she was on SATC. She of course said no, but that's when we found out she would be on RHONYC this season. So funny other people thought the same thing!

Your kids are so cute. I love the "new words that you create"! I hope this season with the Jersey housewives is less combative that the other housewives that I have seen so far. You all need to get into charitys or something. Less fighting. This economy needs it.

Lovin your blog...you keep it realw ithout being malicious.

Yes, Joni does look like the lady from Sex and the City! I never thought of that. I would love to see more of Joni, she seems to be level headed and polite --- probably why we see so little of her. Ha!

Dang, Teresa! Your comments--all of them--so on point! Jill and LuAnn are the epitome of "misery loves company"

Teresa, your insightfulness and objectivity is surprising and refreshing. Many of the other comments pretty much reflect was I'd say, so I'll just say I look forward to reading your perspective as the season goes on - and to seeing you New Jersey ladies May 5!

Teresa,
I believe this is your first time blogging for another show. I know it can be tricky especially since it seems like just recently the housewives from different shows are getting to know each other on a personal level.

Jill "recruited" many other Bravo stars besides you and they all started the season on Team Jill because she manipulated them. We saw blogs, photos, Twitter and Facebook posts from stars of other Bravo shows backing Jill as you had done. They are ALL silent now! Even Jill said she wishes she could turn back time.

You still had to get your "digs" in to Bethenny, clearly you're still angry about what she said in her blogs about you or you're jealous about her success, whatever the reason Teresa, let it go!

Bethenny doesn't need you to tell her that getting married before the baby arrived is the "right thing to do" or to tell her that "she reaps what she sews". Who are you to judge what she does? Thousands of single women give birth and adopt children everyday including Angelina Jolie, Sheryl Crow, Sharon Stone and many more!

You have improved Teresa, and I feel bad because you trusted Jill and she not only let you (and all of us) down but in the process she has hurt your fan base and consequently your book sales. I hope you can salvage it and have learned who you can trust and its not someone who wants fame and fortune at all costs! It has backfired on Jill and ya got some of it on ya! Sorry!

I have to say i love your blog this week and you as well. Ok - that just sounds a little crazy - but anywho.

You are right on this week. That whole thing with the Jill & Bethanny phone call was completely painful to watch. That was by far the meanest thing I have ever seen a woman do to another woman, without being physically violent. I felt so bad for Bethanny just wandering around in total shock. Mean, while Jill was just laughing at the whole thing. All I can say is good for B. that her live is so happy now and she is so successful!

Can't wait to see you on RHONJ.

KJ

Joni looks SO MUCH like Samantha's lesb lover - a microsecond into seeing her, i could see Samantha's lesb lover. Also, made Ramona look like Samantha :)
