Melissa Gorga Claims She Is Trying To Work Things Out With Teresa; Kathy Wakile Talks Season 4, Family Drama & Blames Editing!


Ahhhh… New Jersey. Never a dull moment in the garden state! Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudce just cannot stop talking about each other or blaming each other for the notorious Real Housewives of New Jersey feuding! They talk about each other so much I want to start a collection for every time one of them utters the others’ name. Then, I’ll be buying red bottoms left and right, too!

In response to Teresa’s recent sit-down where she promised that Melissa and Joe were invited to Gia Giudice‘s birthday party, Melissa spoke to HollywoodLife about the status of her relationship with Teresa and let everybody know she will definitely be at Gia’s party. Hopefully no one gets in a drunken brawl! Also, can I just say it’s pretty lame of them to be dragging Gia’s birthday into this ridiculous feud!

“I’m actually going to Gia and Milania’s birthday party on Saturday [Jan. 28],” Melissa broadcast while attending the premiere of One for the Money. “This will be the first time that we get together [since] the reunion. She’s been with Apprentice, and I’ve been doing a lot of appearances promoting my single, so we’ve both been really busy.”

Melissa claims she is anxious for the families to put the past behind them. And certainly exonerates herself form any blame for the family upheaval. “I honestly have tried everything I can to mend the relationship between Teresa and her brother,” Melissa clarifies.

“I think a lot of people were very confused and thought it was between Teresa and me, but a lot of it does stand between a brother and sister. Somehow I get caught in the middle.”

The “On Display” AutoTune-er is positive Season Four will show viewers a different side of her role in the battle of the sister-in-laws from hell. Seriously, they need to go on the WWE and hash it out already! “On season four, you are going to see me really do everything in my power to make it better,” Melissa shares. “I might get slapped in my face, I might not. You have to watch and see, but I can put my head on my pillow at night.”

Melissa also promises to watch Teresa on Celebrity Apprentice. “She will fight to the death,” Melissa assures us.

Speaking of family members who don’t get along with Teresa, Kathy Wakile is giving her opinion on the family drama. “I got a lot of heat [from fans] saying I went against my blood. Well, Joe’s my blood too, and I never went against Teresa,” Kathy insists. “I tried to make her see where she and Joe were misreading each other.”

Additionally, Kathy is adamant that editing definitely plays a role in how viewers perceive things. “If you said it, you said it, but you don’t know what I said before and you don’t know what I said after,” she explained to the WaynePatch. “So where editing comes into play and where you might get a little ‘oh, well I said something really nice before that but they didn’t put that in there.’”

Kathy cites last season’s Posche Fashion Show fight as an example. “I said I was trying to reason with her [Teresa] intelligently, and then they got the clip ‘I guess intelligence is just a foreign language to her,’ and they put that somewhere else. That’s editing.” Good lord, that fashion show is the nexus for every bit of unsavory drama on RHONJ!

Confessing that doing the show has been a challenge, Kathy reveals the Christening brawl occurred on her second day of filming, which initially gave viewers a negative opinion of her. Nonetheless as the season progressed fans started to understand her perspective and saw a different side of her issues with Teresa.

“I think the story started to unravel a little bit and people got to see reactions back and forth and how I continued to try to reconcile with Teresa,” Kathy believes. “I think people got to see a little bit more of who I was and how I am with my family.”

“I don’t like trouble; I don’t,” Kathy insists, claiming she never wanted to get stuck in the middle of the Gorgadice family drama! “I really cringe at confrontation. I try to avoid it all times.” Well, then she’s in the wrong business!

Despite the drawbacks of participating in a show which broadcasts all your flaws and missteps to the world, Kathy believes fans will have a more positive experience watching the fourth season. “It’s a really great, fun season, season four and there’s a lot going on and a lot happening, and Jersey comes alive in the summertime,” Kathy shares.

Of course, viewers will also get more exposure into her rocky relationship with Teresa, which definitely isn’t Kathy’s fault. I’m pretty sure blaming others is the state pastime!

WILL SEASON FOUR SHOW US A DIFFERENT SIDE OF MELISSA AND KATHY? IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THIS FAMILY TO WORK THINGS OUT?

    I think Caroline had something to do with it to and also Melissa. Teresa and Jacqueline had a great friendship and they supported one another, and it was a shame that it ended the way it did…

    Lady, I don’t think Mel holds any pull with Jac, but Caroline sure does with Chris.

    frankswif3y

    Lolag-You’re kidding me right? They’re saying Joe Giudice was set up? By who? LMFAO! Um ok. Baahhaaa WOW

    Eveie-I don’t think Melissa had anything to do with what Jac tweeted. Caroline maybe but even then it’s a stretch to think Caroline sat there are told Jac what to tweet. I mean come on. I don’t know what went through her head but I do know she woke up MAD because it happened on a Saturday morning. I wonder if she got a phone call that morning telling her Teresa was going to blame the pic on her. Hhhmm

  4. 854
    frankswif3y

    Lolag-I saw the tweets between Caroline and Andy. Hmm wonder what that was all about.

  5. 855
    frankswif3y

    Lolag-Baaahhhhhaaaaa! I just saw the comment you were referring to about Joe being set up. They even mention Caroline and the rest of the cast needing to be locked up but not Joe. OMG I can’t deal. Too funny.

  6. 856
    eveie6fan

    Franks, didnt say that anyone told her what to tweet. that would be ridiculous. I said they may have exerted pressure/force to get her to that breaking point the same way they did regarding Danielle. I do think they were good friends and that someone influenced her to think differently. she was standing beside T after the olive garden comment so what changed? We know that Caroline definitely changed because her children were mentioned.

  7. 857
    frankswif3y

    Eveie- I get what you’re saying but I just don’t see Jac so easily dumping Teresa as a friend so easily. You said it yourself, she stood by her after the Olive Garden comments. I just feel like for Jac to go off it was because Teresa did something to her personally. Not just because Caroline or Chris were in her ear. They did the same thing to her with Danielle and she still gave her a chance. Terea had to have done something to really hurt her.

  8. 858
    frankswif3y

    Haha @ Eveie please disregard my ridiculous forst sentence in that last post! LOL…You know what I was tryin to say right? LOL

  9. 859
    frankswif3y

    Aaaaahhh! *FIRST lol

  10. eveie – If you go back and look at Mel’s CD launch party pictures at gettyimages.com. It was after this particular party that Jac wrote her Bravo blog about Teresa. I believe something was revealed to Jac/Chris at the party about Teresa. Also, there is another very serious photo of just Tre with her brother Joey. If you go back to August I think you can see the break in the friendship.

  11. 861
    frankswif3y

    Lolag-YES! And remember Lalascookiejar? She was team Mel all the way and was good friends with Sheila Giudice. Anyway, she tweeted the day after the fashion show, “Sorry you had to find out about her this way.”, to Jac. That same day I copied and posted the tweet here, and she went off on twitter about being tired of people making up stories. Then she said she was going to start blocking people. Well she blocked me, along with others, and made her page private. I’ve always wondered about that because the only tweet I had ever gotten from her was an LOL. We had never spoken about anything that had to do with the show.

  12. 862
    frankswif3y

    Lolag-Looks like her tweets are no longer private. Interesting tweet from the other day:

    LalasCookieJar Andrea
    #RHOBH was great tonight. Thoughts on Taylor? These women are class acts I will say that! They can give some other housewives a few lessons!
    24 Jan

  13. Franks – Yep! If you notice Sheila was Team Mel and sisters up until T’s drink launch party. Then she switched and starting tweeting about the party and the cameras rolling. If am not mistaken Lalas and Momsthought ? were at Mel’s launch party too.

  14. 864
    frankswif3y

    Lolag-Yes they were. Seems like Lala’s has always been team Mel/Jac/Tre and still is. Check this out:

    frankswif3y

    Lolag-She’s also good friends with Alisa Maria. Isn’t that Mel’s stylist?

  16. Franks – Good find! Thanks

    Not sure if Alisa Maria is still Mel’s stylist. I have not noticed much tweet thanks from Mel like before. Seems Mel is going to boutique to advertising their clothes.

  17. 867
    frankswif3y

    Lolag-Look at this tweet! It’s from Nov 15th…days after Teresa’s blog bringing up the other ladies “skeletons”.

    LalasCookieJar Andrea
    Interesting to see ppl with skeletons in their closet starting trouble. “Before you start pointing fingers,make sure your hands are clean.”

    12 Nov

  19. Franks – Yes! Also, I remember Sheila responding “Wow” to Lysa (Mel’s sister) tweet after Jac’s blog was posted at Bravo…

  20. Jacqueline should have paid attetion to that lalacookiejar tweets, lol.

    Seems when she went twitter crazy on Teresa, those fingers she was pointing came right back and poked her, lol.
    Hubby and bil’s shady business bk gets outed again. Then hubby and nephews are being sued for stealing an idea, among others things…
    Yep when you start pointing fingers, saying all kinds of stuff, you better make sure your hands are clean. ;)

  25. Hello everyone.

    I wanted to let you know I’ve enjoyed posting here, & discussing the HW with you. I have really enjoyed talking about the NJ group…LOL. I had a lot of fun. These HW are crazy…lol. Even if I disagreed with some of you, I had a great time (Lady T you’re a hoot w/ your jokes and very sweet!). I always like to see a different pov. After posting on the other long thread about BH & seeing too much between posters, I have to take a long break. As some would say, it’s too *hot*. I will be lurking from time to time…lol, but I don’t know if I will post again. I like to have fun, & some take this stuff way too seriously with their harsh & cruel words. Too bad more people can’t just ignore people’s posts if they don’t like them.

    Take care,
    Iris :)

  26. @872

    What do you mean what?

    I stand by what I posted @ 870..

    You posted that this cookie lady whatever her name is was tweeting about pointing pointing fingers and clean hands and whatever eles she was saying about people with skeltons or whatever eles..

    Yea, Jacqueline should pay attention to that.. Ok, just my opinion.

  27. @ 875

    Don’t let what others posts affect you Iris. I enjoy your posts, even though i really never agree with them, ( I never agree with frankswif3y either) lol. Anyway so what/ We all get along.

    I wish you would keep posting, it doesn’t matter who agrees or not, everyone has the right to their opinions, some people get nasty, big deal. It happens all the time on these sites.

  32. Iris – Love your posts! Please do not leave.

    Franks – Well, Lalas and Moms sure have voiced their opinions. Interesting to note that during Season 2 I saw some not so nice tweets to Jac. Of course back then Jac was Tre’s best pal.

    12 Oct

    WOW…Very interesting, all of her tweets from the beginning of Oct all the way to July were deleted. She said she had an issue with her twitter. Damn, the one she sent Jac is gone.

  36. 886
    frankswif3y

    Eveie-Ugh that sucks! My boss has been out for 2 days so I can come on here more often.Not that I don’t post enough as it is. LOL

  37. Franks – Also, interesting to note is that Lalas is friends w/the blonde lady at Mel’s Christmas party and also was at Season 3 Brownstone Posche Fashion show.
    And friendly w/Car&Jac’s nieces that have online stores too. Oh the connections…

  38. 888
    eveie6fan

    Lola, I heard that both of Juicy’s sisters were cordial but not close to T until the christening then they became Team T because of the way Joey treated his family and Mel’s sister pulling Juicy’s mom’s hair.

  39. Iris dont leave- Dont let a few villiage idiots ruin your fun…

    But I do agree with Iris lately there have been alot of people coming on here and making their post personal. Its ok to disagree but when people start to attack you or your character its not ok. This is suppose to be for fun and to see others opinions. I think its great that we all watch the same shows and see completely different things. But there is always some dumbass coming on here and making it personal. I dont want people like Iris to leave. I enjoy reading her post whether I agree or not. Iris I hope you reconsider!

  40. @Lena1, frankswif3y, italiano bambino, & lolag…Thank you for the kind words! You’re a great group. Whether we agree or not, we are always nice to each other & respectful. I will be lurking, & may come back. Some of this stuff on the different threads gets too *hot* & *heavy* for me. I know I should just ignore it, & I try to most of the time…lol, but it can get so crazy. I rather save the snark, etc for the HW. LOL. Thanks again & like I said before I may (probably will) be back. Just need a break. :)

    eveie6fan

    @873, how can you possibly take someone seriously that says the mother of 4 is a man???? some people just blather on to be doing something.

  42. @889 DeeJae….Tyvm, that meant a lot, like the other nice things *friends* said. I totally agree, & dislike seeing personal attacks against any poster. Whether a person agrees or not, there should always be respect even on a site about reality shows…lol. Thanks again & take care! :)

  43. 893
    italiano bambino

    @890Iris

    Hopefully we get to see you posting again Soon :)

  44. It’s never cool to attack anyone. People will disagree with people, thats not attacking.

    Attacking is coming on a thread to call a poster a name, a housewife, their family, Pr, or something eles just as ridiculous because they do not agree with what you are posting. Or just to cause a problem on the thread.

    People have always had and will always have strong opinions about these housewives, and their actions on the shows.

    Agree to disagree and respect peoples opinions, and life posting on a gossip site/ blog will be good. :)

    Eveie-I don’t think she was serious. Obviously. LOL.

    Lolag-Yes that Lalascookiejar person is a local business owner in NJ. She can be connected to any of them really. Did you see the tweet to Jac. I guess Teresa or someone else told Jac not to talk to her.

    None of them are following Lala or being followed by her (Jac, Mel, Teresa, or Shelia)

  48. 898
    eveie6fan

    Interesting that Shelia follows Mel’s mom though

  49. 899
    frankswif3y

    Eveie-Lala…or Heather which is her real name was really good friends with Sheila Giudice. As a matter of fact, she’s the one who convinced Sheila to set up a twitter and they used to tweet back and forth to each other all the time. I don’t know if they stopped speaking but they used to all the time before.

  50. Franks – Interesting tweet. I know that Jac and Kathy are doing some charity event that Lalas helped organize.
