~ Real Housewives of New Jersey ~ Season 6 ~ 2014

I've heard this as well.


Also, if Caroline is SO disgusted with Posche Fashion show and no longer wants to attend, why is Posche having the next one on October 2nd at THE BROWNSTONE?

Caroline is a phony.


ETA: If you want to go by Jac's blog, she also said Teresa never spoke ill about her family and then suddenly changed her tune about that. Jac is the farthest thing from reliable. I think it's all of that boxed wine she mixes with her Xanax....

Also, all of the girls are still friendly with Kim D., not just Teresa.

The Brown Stone is a business and I assume in business to make money, therefore they probably wouldn't turn down a booking. Business frequently do things with others that they may not really care for.

Right!! Just because it's at the brownstone doesn't mean Caroline will be there. I'm sure she doesn't attend every event there!

I'm sure Al booked it intentionally because he hates his wife so much.

Ive heard too much to believe a single thing and how its portrayed on that particular RH.

OMG!!!! That's ridiculous!!!

Now, take this with a grain of salt, Im just going to report what I heard. My sister's friend works for RH of Miami so this info supposedly comes from producers, but again, grain of salt as I cannot attest to any of it.

Apparently, each year the producers, Housewives, etc get together to kind of plan out the next season. They look at what loose ends to tie up and how to can follow up with storylines. Many times, there are feuds between the women but they aren't up to airing in publically or Bravo doesn't want to air it publically so they kind of manufacture stories to account for the animosity.

Im hearing that the reason Jaq is so upset with Tre is not because of magazine articles, etc. Apparently Jaq was in talks for some endorsement deals but Tre signed on to endorse similar products. Bravo didn't want to air that on tv because it wouldn't fit Jaq;s "character" of the kind, stay at home wife so they used this magazine thing. They know, like good employees, they have to follow Bravo directives and follow the storyline. This accounts to why this argument never makes real sense and why Tre sometime sounds unable to defend herself. Its like she gets stuck because she can't really say what she wants to. Just like the story of the "jokes" in the cookbook. Made up to cover up the true fight (whatever that may be)

There was a producer named Cat(Rodriquez, I think) who had gotten very chummy with Melissa and Jaq. Talk is she had been picking and choosing and editting as she saw fit . This Cat is no longer on RHONJ. Apparently she was fired and is now working as a runner on some other station.

The reason they started filming Season 4 right after 3 was because Bravo thought the riffs between Tre and Melissa were getting better and they wanted to keep that going. Unfortunately, Season 3 episodes were being aired as they filmed 4. As the girls saw the episodes, problems would come back up but they couldn't be address on the shows they were filming. Does that make sense? So a lot of the stories, etc just don't make a lot of sense and much of it is editted and manufactured.

Jaq and Caroline definately hate Teresa, the thing is what they are showing and apparently what is the truth are 2 different things.

Again, grain of salt. I have no idea if this is true or gossip but it came from people working on RH of Miami.

I just read this entire interview of this same info online. It stated that they knew that Kathy wasn't coming back too. Are you this same person that lives out of the country? I wish I could find the interview. It was very interesting.

For 18 years Albert has lived in an apartment above the Brownstone. He doesn't come home at night, even though it's only 8 miles away. Don't explain it away as he's the boss, he's the owner, he has to be there every minute - no. That place runs itself and has a great staff. He's not on the clock 24/7; far from it. Why did he have to be at the Brownstone Christmas Eve? Of course he didn't. He was with his long term girlfriend, that blond hair stylist.

Watch the scenes of Al & Caroline together - Napa, Italy, etc. He won't even look at her. Remember when she suggested he cut back on his hours at work to spend more time with her? He looked like he was going to throw up. Told her to focus on having grandchildren (i.e., to keep her busy so he wouldn't have to deal with her.)

No way is he happy in that marriage. No way. Who could be?

I didn't realize you knew them personally and are in their home at night to see who comes home and who doesn't! How long have you known them?

Other than the part about the mistress, everything I stated has been shown/discussed on the show. Caroline talked about how Al doesn't spend the night at home (has mentioned this every season since season 1 - at one point even showed the apartment on film.) Obviously he also had this apt so he could try to keep his ill-gotten water commissioner job (from which Gov. Christie fired him - Google it) but fact is, he has the apt, he lives there, and it has been shown/discussed on the series.

Discussion about her wanting him to quit/him saying no - took place on a golf course. Season 2?

Caroline has admitted many times that he's not home. Try to find a single dinner at that house where he's been present. Got one? The Christmas Eve dinner season 3, he had to work. Yeah right.

The looks he gives her, the short tone he has with her (again, Napa and Italy) - that's how I interpret it. If what you see is a man who is in love with his wife, well, great. Just not how I see it.

This would explain why Caroline appears so unhappy and so in love with her sons.

 

[Janepod]

Forgot to add - Al sits by during the Napa argument, when Teresa and her husband are yelling at Caroline. Doesn't seem bothered, doesn't speak up to defend his wife. None of the other husbands would ever let their wives be spoken to like that - the Joes and Richie always stick up for their wives.

Nope , I heard it from a friend down here in S Florida involved with the Real housewives of Miami. But apparently, its not such a secret and its all over the place.

As I did laundry this evening I 'rewatched' (really re-listened) to last night’s episode. I noticed that this Angelo guy referred to those who set up Melissa as 'they'. This had me thinking. Angelo had a mic on. He had a mic on twice (in the Salon and the fashion show). If Teresa did come up with this plan, she would have to be in cahoots with production and Kim. Teresa can't mic people right? Production would have to do that. Was the 'they' Angelo referring to producers? And the producers then edited his comments to sound like Teresa was the 'they'? His conversation with the laughing lady was not in sequence. One point she's laughing (about what I couldn't figure out) next part she listening intently.

Also, this Angelo didn't say anything to set up Melissa. He said 'hi' and asked if she remembered him. No mention of stripping. Nothing. This is where I feel Teresa fell right in the trap. What was his embarrassing plan? If Angelo was sent to embarrass Melissa he didn’t do a good job? If Melissa hadn’t called Joe, this wouldn’t even have blown up like it did. Maybe she knew, maybe she didn't (Teresa). I have a feeling she didn't.

I noticed that too. Even when Juicy Joe screams at Caroline to shut up. It wasn't Big Al that said a thing. It was the son ready to stand for his mother.

I have a hard time believing that Al and Caroline are basically not in love or "faking" their marriage - if he had this mistress and lived at the brownstone every night I can guarantee you Theresa would have brought that up in their many arguments.

She has.

When Andy asked Teresa about Caroline's prediction that she'll divorce Joe if he goes to jail, Teresa warns Caroline to watch her back, because she has skeletons in her own closet. Yikes!

Theresa does not beat around the bushes when she goes for the jugular on others folks - she would have point blank called Al and a mistress scenario out - I don't think she has a thing on Caroline else we would have read it in US weekly already.

WEll I also saw that HUGE ring he gave her last season for their anniversary, so based on that he does love her. Sorry but unless you know them personally, I don't see how you could know this. Maybe he is a workaholic, who knows. Some men are like that. I for one LOVE Caroline. YOu don't and that is ok, but it doesn't make it right for you to say that he doesn't love her. Maybe he does maybe he doesn't? None of us really know. YOu can be fooled by body language and editing.

WEll maybe Al is an older man and more mature and knows the Juicy Joe isn't worth hurting his fist on. The is some maturity level with Al and also the saying, Don't feed the trolls. It is popular here on the Dis. I don't idiots the time of day either, and who knows, maybe the producers didn't want Al to step in.
