• Teresa Giudice Sends Brother Joe Gorga Hate Mail From Prison

    Fans of 'RHONJ' are well aware of the chronic problems that seem to arise between Teresa Giudice and her brother Joe Gorga. She has long disapproved of his wife Melissa Gorga and spent several seasons on the reality series trying to unsuccessfully paint her as a bad person. Even when Guidice seemed to make up with the Gorgas it apparently was more for the cameras then it was for stabilizing the family. It looked like Giudice had made peace with just about everyone before turning herself in to begin serving her 13-month prison sentence for financial crimes, but that, too, was just an illusion. She is apparently sending her brother hate mail from prison.
  • Joe Gorga Won't Play Chauffeur to Sister Teresa Giudice's Kids

    After having his driver's license suspended for two years, Joe Giudice is certainly in need of some help now. He has four daughters to take care of, and that inevitably will require someone to do some driving. While it seemed like before heading off to prison, 'RHONJ's' Teresa Giudice had worked hard to iron out her differences with her brother Joe Gorga, recent interviews have seemed to indicate otherwise. Melissa Gorga admitted to having had no contact with Teresa in months, and now it seems that all offers to help are off the table. He has refused to chauffeur her kids around.

Last night, March 8, Giudice's sister-in-law Melissa Gorga popped up for an interview on Bravo's 'Watch What Happens: Live,' and while she did not offer up many details, she said enough to clue us in on how the family is coping. She said Joe Giudice is "manning up" and handling his family alone.
  • Gia Giudice's Manager Puts Out 'RHONJ' Casting Call

    We told you a few weeks ago that a casting call went out for fabulous women in New Jersey who would like to share their lifestyles and gorgeous homes in an already-established reality show. Of course, they were looking for new talent for "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" to replace some of the dead weight that they hired last season. Now Gia Giudice's manager, Maria De Santis, has also put out a casting call for "RHONJ."
  • Melissa Gorga Fears She'll Be Fired From 'RHONJ' Without Teresa Giudice to Fight With

    Could Melissa Gorga's days on "RHONJ" be about finished? Well, there are several things pointing in that direction. Gorga's storyline on the show for the last few seasons has been her constant feud with sister-in-law Teresa Giudice. By now everyone knows Giudice is in lockdown at a federal prison in Connecticut for the next year, and before leaving she demanded the Gorga's not discuss her family in the media in any way. Without Giudice, let's face it: There is precious little going on in Gorga's life. She fears sh'll be fired from the show.
  • 'RHONJ's' Melissa and Joe Gorga Are Afraid the Government Will Target Them Next for Shady Business Dealings

    Nothing has ever scared Joe Gorga quite like watching his sister, Teresa Giudice, be convicted of fraud and then sentenced to 15-months in prison. He is also in the same business that Joe Giudice is in (whatever that may be, we're not sure) and is reportedly more than a little worried that now that the Feds have wrapped up their case against the Giudices', they'll be taking a closer look at him. During their time on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Melissa Gorga has spent just as fast and furiously as Teresa did.
  • Teresa Giudice's Friends Abandon Her as 'RHONJ' Inches Closer to Being Shelved

    After years of playing people against each other, it looks like Teresa Giudice is the one left in the dust. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star has famously manipulated Melissa Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita, Kathy Wakile and basically every other friend or family member whom she has crossed paths with, and now it is Giudice who is alone. After turning herself in to the prison camp in Danbury, Connecticut, that will be her home for the next 13 months, the reality star realized that even before she left no one was reaching out to her. According to a report by Radar Online, in the past these women would have been there for Giudice, in spite of how vicious she has been toward them, but now things are different. They realize that it is time to back away and save themselves from the toxic and even criminal behavior she has brought into their lives. While Giudice is away, it seems Bravo producers are inching closer to shelving "RHONJ," at least until she is released from prison. Like it or not, Giudice has always been the centerpiece of the show, and without her it is just unlikely that enough people are going to tune in to get the ratings to where they would need to be. Needless to say, the rest of the cast wants to believe that they are more than enough to keep the show going. The fact that they might need a shady, admitted criminal to keep them relevant and on television is no doubt a shot to their egos, but it does seem to be the bottom line.
  • Teresa Giudice Called Melissa, Joe Gorga Before Turning Herself In to Blame Them for Her Situation

    For a while it looked like Teresa Giudice might have finally made peace with her brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Melissa Gorga, didn't it? The last season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey showed the formerly estranged family getting along and acting normal. The Gorgas were constantly showing support for Giudice, but in the months since she was sentenced to 15 months in prison, there has been silence. As it turns out, things were not quite as cool as it seemed when they were filming, and in her final weeks of freedom Giudice started blaming everyone for her fate, including the Gorgas. According to a report by Radar Online, Giudice made a number of calls before reporting to prison early Monday morning, Jan. 5, and one of those was to her brother and Melissa: "Teresa called many people the night before she went to prison. Two of the people she called happened to be Melissa and Joe. She was insistent that they were partially to blame for her jail sentence because they came on the Real Housewives of New Jersey and made her look bad. The conversation did end amicably. However, it obviously wasn't a positive thing to have her pointing blame for her legal issues in their direction."
  • 'RHONJ's' Teresa Giudice is Blaming SIL Melissa Gorga for Her Jail Sentence!

    If you tuned in for the most recent season of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," then you saw that for the first time in years, Teresa Giudice had finally buried the hatchet with her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. She spent the last few seasons insisting that her brother, Joe Gorga, had made the mistake of his life by marrying Melissa and she spread lies and rumors galore to bolster her claims. With prison looming, Teresa decided to clean up the mess with the Gorgas so that she could lean on them for support, which she did. Apparently behind their backs Teresa also blamed them for her being sent to prison!
  • Caroline Manzo Reportedly Returning to 'RHONJ' Once Teresa Giudice's in Prison

    We recently told you that Bravo was working hard to try and strike a deal with Caroline Manzo to bring her back to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." She opted out of filming the most recent season, so the producers brought in a trio of new ladies who just did not click with the audience. Midway through, they brought Jacqueline Laurita back in a desperate attempt to get former fans to tune back in, and they realize that for the show to have any chance of pulling decent numbers, they need a favorite like Manzo back in the fold. Teresa Giudice used to be the glue that held "RHONJ" together, and viewers loved the havoc she wrecked in nearly episode. There seems to be a huge difference between lying about her sister-in-law's activities and bilking people out of millions, and once it was confirmed that Giudice is a criminal, her fans became few and far between. Bravo also has to try and clean up the reputation of the show because Giudice is headed to prison, Laurita's tax evasion has been catching headlines and Joe and Melissa Gorga's business dealings are always questionable. Part of what makes Manzo so popular is that she comes across as the hardworking, Italian mother, something that is respected. According to The Hollywood Life, it looks like Manzo is a sure bet to return to the show for Season 7, especially once Giudice is in jail and the rest of the ladies are in one way or another affected by her absence.
