Jacqueline Laurita is disappointed that âhistory repeats itselfâ on Real Housewives Of New Jersey and came to regale us on the trip to Vermont. Jacqueline, of course, blames Teresa Giudice for pretending she wanted to be friends again, but inviting Robyn, âher soldierâ to do her dirty work.
Jacqueline also blames Melissa Gorga for covertly trying to destroy Jacqueline and Teresaâs re-friendship because sheâs âENVY-OUS.â
âIâve learned that Teresa has selective memory where she only remembers what she feels people have done to her,â Jacqueline explains. âShe conveniently forgets what she has done to others.â

âShe also has a very hard time taking accountability for anything or genuinely forgiving anyone,â Jacquelineâs diagnosis continues. âShe changes the reality in her head and starts to believe her own twisted faux reality. I wish she would acknowledge this and talk to someone about it. Itâs very frustrating.â I wish Jacqueline could take her own advice. Cause um⌠all of that above applies to her as well!
After breaking down Teresa, Jacqueline breaks down the episode in her blog.
On Teresaâs issues with Rosie and Kathy Wakile, where all the trouble startedâŚÂ
âTeresa is a hypocrite when it comes to speaking about getting involved in family drama! I remember when Teresa was all involved in MY family business! How easily she forgets,â accuses Jacqueline. âIâm sure Caroline remembers.â When was this? When Teresa was friends with Dina Manzo but absolutely NEVER mentioned Caroline and Jacquelineâs issues with her on Real Housewives of New Jersey? I gotta defend Teresa here!
Jacqueline, however, is allowed to be in Teresaâs family issues because âTeresa knows that I am good friends with her cousins, thanks to her, and that we are all part of the same group.â
âUnlike Melissa, the rest of us in our group were invested in their relationship because we care!â insists Jacqueline. âI donât like leaving people out, especially if it was family and their relationship could be mended.â
And Jacqueline calling Kathy and Rosie for the post-mortem after lunch with Teresa, wasnât Jacqueline being involved in Teresaâs family, it was just Jacqueline being a good friend â which is totally acceptable. âFriends always call each other to talk about whatâs going on in each otherâs lives. We were all concerned for the group.â
âMelissa called me afterwards to see what happened too,â adds Jacqueline. âMelissa was always calling me to ask for scoop, but not because she cared, obviously â it was because she was nosy. Thereâs a difference.â
On Kim D, and her relationships with Melissa and Teresa.Â
âThe truth is, when Melissa heard Kim was in the picture, she got mad at me for it and blamed me. Donât shoot the messenger. I wasnât the one bringing Kim D around, and Melissa knows that. Kim has always been around.â
âRegarding Derek, if Melissa doesnât want to even look at the proof Kim D had on him then thatâs on her,â snipes Jacqueline. âIf I were her, I would want to know the truthâŚthat is unlessâŚshe already knew.â

Jaqueline reminds us Teresa âstayed friends with Kim D. long after Strippergate.â Kim even visited Teresa at Teresaâs house before Jacqueline and Siggy Flicker went to Posche â and Jacqueline maintains that both Melissa and Teresa have continued shopping at Posche until Envy opened.
Jealousy is NOT in Jacquelineâs âDNAâ â but she canât believe Melissa & Teresa were talking behind her back!
After insisting talking about each other and each otherâs issues is âjust what friends do â especially in this group,â Jacqueline was âsurprisedâ to see Melissa and Teresa discussing her behind her back.
âI thought things were going well between us at that time. Iâm confused as to who got in Teresaâs ear to have her say the things she said,â insinuates Jacqueline. âOn the spa trip, Melissa was just saying how jealous she was that Teresa and I were able to rekindle our friendship so easily and she never could. Fast forward to a week or so later and they are talking about how hard it is for Teresa and I and how easy it is for them. Something is not adding up.â
Jacqueline believes Melissa feels threatened by Jacquelineâs new closeness with Teresa. Are people seriously fighting over Teresa now⌠Seriously? Like a custody battle for the much maligned Madame Giudice. Just noâŚ
âIt is ridiculous!â complains Jacqueline. âMelissa needs to stop being so ENVY-OUS.â
On Robyn, âRage Girlâ Being Teresaâs soldier:
Dubbing Robyn âRage Girl,â Jacqueline believes Robyn came to cause trouble. After a drama-free spa trip, Jacqueline indicates that Vermont exploded because they had âan outsider there stirring things up.â
âWhose idea was that?â she posits.
âNobody on that trip really cared for her,â asserts Jacqueline, because Robyn is âso obnoxious and attention seekingâ and constantly starting fights.
So why was Robyn invited? The answer, according to Jacqueline: âObviously to set me up and be Teresaâs voice so she could keep her new zen persona.â
âNot all of Teresaâs friends are soldiers but I do recognize a soldier when I see them. History repeats itself If Rage girl thought I was so close with Teresa and knew we were working on repairing our friendship, why did she feel so comfortable coming after me like that and then calling Teresa into our fight to back her up?â asks Jacqueline. âIt doesnât take a brain surgeon to figure that one out.â Or a relationship expert?
âItâs me, not youâŚâ â on why Jacqueline skipped dog-sledding.Â
âIâm not sure why Teresa and Melissa were insinuating I was upset and getting worked up after my fight with their soldier, I mean their âfriend,â when I didnât join them for dogsledding. I wasnât. It also just didnât seem enjoyable to either of us to spend the day with someone so desperate for camera time and attention, especially when she threatened to ârage on my assâ, âfâ me upâ and âpunch me in the face.'â
âItâs not that I felt threatened by [Robyn] even though I was verbally threatened by her, it was more because I know she has a history of fighting people, and Iâm not one to back down,â continues Jacqueline. âI couldnât help mocking her that night because I felt like she was acting so ridiculous and desperate. It made me laugh. Together we were a recipe for a disaster, and I was trying to avoid that again for the sake of Teresa.â
So Jacqueline deciding to leave Vermont early had nothing to do with Robyn either? She doesnât say, but Jacqueline warns us that tonightâs episode is the ââAHAâ momentâ where she recognized the âhuge disappointment in my so called friends.â
Siggy and Dolores try to play neutral. They console Jacqueline as she realizes Teresa is not her friend, but from Melissa and Teresa hear a different perspective which blames Jacqueline for picking fights then playing victim.
Over dinner Jacqueline loses her patience with Melissa and Teresa and the accusations, name-calling, and insults fly, permanently severing her friendships. In the aftermath Siggy and Dolores canât believe what happened and reach their breaking point. When everyone finally returns to Jersey, they realize their relationships are irrevocably changed.
Reality Tea will be live-tweeting tonightâs episode. Join us there or here in the comments.
