yeah I agree, I always felt uncomfortable with how much their children were featured tbh, much more than the other children from other families imo

I’ve never been able to watch it all the way through fully, if she was my daughter it would have never been allowed and children that age should not know what is going on with adults.
I think children are much more perceptive than we think , I have known children in difficult family situations where the parents thought they were successfully hiding things but it wasn't the case. 100% agree though, they never should have exploited a very vulnerable moment of her's like this
I'm not particularly a fan of Joey and Melissa Gorga, but sister or not, I just don't understand why he still bothers with Teresa. She throws him under the bus constantly and is always so snakey towards both him and Melissa and is such a hypocrite whenever the tables are turned. Even with family there comes a time where you have to cut off the toxicity and cut all ties for the sake of your own sanity.
Just because someone is blood, doesn't always mean that they naturally or automatically care about you and have your best interests at heart. Sometimes family can be your worst enemies and saboteurs and I think this is true of that family's relationship.

yeah I agree, I don't get how they can just "get over" all of the things Teresa has done to them

I think one of the problems is that Melissa and Joe are probably well aware that if they cut ties with Teresa properly, the producers would keep Teresa on the show over them. I reckon Melissa could take or leave Teresa tbh, but I do think Joe genuinely loves and cares for Teresa despite everything, especially as their parents just wanted them to get along. Joe is a very flawed man but the care he has for family is genuine imo

This cracks me up - "he works in finance!" Ah yes, the financial industry in New York, where good behaviour is so important and no one ever misbehaves

I’m currently on season 5 of NJ and it’s so frustrating watching Teresa and Joe claim they want to be close and love each other but they do nothing but talk tit and scream at each other. And the whole “I don’t hold grudges” but the past is constantly brought up time and time again. It obviously makes for good TV but it’s so boring, if you can’t get on just leave it! (I hope it doesn’t get worse

For a pay check I’d say and to stay on the show, sure look what happened Kathy. I was rewatching season 3 at the weekend and when you see how close they were to Kathy and Richie and so up their backsides at the time ( whom I both can’t stand btw ) and they ended up dropping them when they were no longer on the show and Teresa decided she wanted nothing more to do with them. I think Joe and Melissa are both social climbers, they also dropped Jacqueline and Chris too and they were all close.
Teresa is really just insane imo, she has such a weird jealousy of Melissa, I don't get why you would be jealous of your brother's wife, so oddI’m currently on season 5 of NJ and it’s so frustrating watching Teresa and Joe claim they want to be close and love each other but they do nothing but talk tit and scream at each other.

I agree. The both of them particularly Melissa are extremely fame hungry

I thought Jackie looked really slender (not in a good way) in the last couple of episodes. I hope the anxiety or whatever is going on hasn't caused her ED to rear its head again
Melissa is definitely fame hungry. She's changed so much since she started on the show. Remember that awful book she wrote about marriage?
It was sooo traditional and stepford wife like, basically all she talked about was living to please your man while making sure to cater to his every whim.
If im being honest, I do think she married Joey for the money. I'm not saying she didn't love him, but money was a huge factor for her. And now that she's gotten a little fame and making her own money, the shine of being Joeys little woman is rapidly wearing off, and I can't say I blame her.
Joey Gorga is extremely sexist and is looking for a woman to stay home chained to the
Kitchen sink, barefoot and pregnant. That is until he wants her in the bedroom. I honestly see them divorcing very soon. Definitely in the next year or two.
yeah I agree, and it will all play out dramtically on camera of course
i hate all of their houses on NJ to be honest, not sure whose is worse theirs or the Giudice's? I don't know why but I imagine Melissa getting with a much younger guy after the divorce

Pretty sure he was a landscaper when they first met/got married, and they lived in a tiny house.
She definitely likes being the centre of attention, but I don't think she's any more fame-hungry than any other housewife
I've never seen any evidence she's a gold digger.I could be wrong in my assumption of her, but agree that all of the housewives are fame hungry. I just don't see their marriage lasting much longer.Pretty sure he was a landscaper when they first met/got married, and they lived in a tiny house.
