We all watch reality TV for one reason...so we can be flies on the wall when life happens. When you tune in to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, you have the opportunity to see a show that is actually true to its name. We are housewives and we are real.
Our priority in life is to love and take care of our families. I made up my mind to give the viewers an honest perspective of life from my point of view. It is very easy to be fake, to smile when you are not happy, or to pretend that you don't hear when someone insults you. It takes a lot of courage to be your true authentic self.
It is pointless to be on a reality show and sugar coat your life. I am not built for that! So there you have it - this is me, raw and uncut, unadulterated and unabridged. If you wanted something scripted and rosy, you should of tune in to TLC.... "Thank You Very Much"..."Thank You"...
