Jacqueline Laurita ‘Would Love’ Melissa Gorga To Leave Real Housewives of New Jersey

I would love for Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice to take a pause from Real Housewives of New Jersey. We all want things. But this is about RHONJ alum Jacqueline Laurita and her two cents.

On an episode of the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast, Jacqueline shared her thoughts on who should stay and who should go amid the never-ending conflict between Teresa and Melissa. I’ll give you one guess who Jacqueline wants off.

Jac is back on active duty

Jacqueline is clocking in after a recent reconciliation with Teresa and doing her civil duties. She said, “I would love to see Melissa and Joe [Gorga] off the show.” So she can get back in there? No, it’s so Tre can be her authentic self. “I would love to see Teresa being old Teresa when she’s not under all that stress and be the fun Teresa everyone fell in love with.”

Remind me of when Joe and Melissa forced Tre to commit crimes that might have given her “stress.” Jac believes being on the defensive because of her brother and SIL have made Teresa not so fun.

Thankfully, she crawled out of Tre’s backside long enough to reflect on the pros of Melissa leaving. “The fans love her [Teresa], she’s their money maker.” Jacqueline continued, “I would keep Teresa on and remove the brother, and let her be the old Teresa.” Well, the “old” Teresa went to jail. Jac also said she doesn’t think Melissa adds anything to the show. I appreciate an excellent suck-up, but this is too much.

“Teresa’s like a real character. She says funny things. She’s got all these kids. I just feel in a new marriage you would see the old fun Teresa if Melissa and Joe were gone.” Sure, Jan. Jacqueline also loathes Melissa’s lack of loyalty. “I hate how Melissa tries to say, ‘we did it for Teresa.’ You didn’t do it for Teresa because you were still behind the scenes talking sh-t about Teresa.”

Who’s gonna tell Jac to watch the season and see who is talking what sh-t? “You did it for the viewers to look at you as if you are loyal to Teresa but behind the scenes, you’re talking shit to Kathie [Wakile] to me,” she explained.

Again, how is this any different than Tre talking smack about her brother’s wife for the past 836 years? Jacqueline also said any chance Melissa can get to make Tre look bad, she takes it. Perhaps, but Tre doesn’t need anyone’s help making her look bad these days because she has Luis Ruelas for that.

Clearly, Jacqueline received her orders and she did her best to carry them out. Hopefully, she received more compensation than one of Teresa’s cookbooks for her efforts.

Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Andy Cohen ‘Worried’ About Kim Zolciak’s Money Spending Habits

Andy Cohen seems like one of the most reasonable men in the entertainment industry. With his experience in so many aspects of TV production and interviews, everything he says just sounds so smart and agreeable.

Well, his skills of reason have really proved themselves lately as Andy’s recounted on past conversations with Kim Zolciak. As everyone should be well aware at this point, it came out that Kim and her husband, Kroy Biermann, owed the IRS over $1 million in back taxes.

From that point on, it’s been a whirlwind for the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star and viewers. With a filing for divorce, a counter-filing, and all the drama that followed, it was only inevitable Andy would comment on the situation.

Andy knows Kim like a psychic

On his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live, the long-beloved host said, “There are so many clips of me saying to Kim, ‘I am worried about the way you spend your money. He is not a football player, he is a retired football player.”

He claimed Kim wasn’t savvy enough to spend proportional to her savings, further emphasizing: “Kroy was a retired football player. They didn’t have the football player money coming in anymore.” Considering Kim reportedly lost $250,000 gambling before her divorce filing, Andy was clearly correct.

This is not the first time Andy touched on the Zolciak-Biermann situation. In a previous episode, he said, “[I] sent my condolences, because it’s a sad thing. They have kids, and that was just a couple that seemed very much in love … I was very surprised. That was not the news I ever expected to get. They were a couple that I thought they were in it for the long haul.” Andy’s empathy is something to admire considering how long he’s been interviewing some of the nastiest of people.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK ANDY IS GIVING HIMSELF TOO MUCH CREDIT? COULD ANYONE HAVE SEEN THE WRITING ON THE WALL? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT HE’S SAID TO KIM?

Lisa Vanderpump Doesn’t Want to ‘Pile On’ Tom Sandoval

Lisa Vanderpump revealed she has no plans to kick Tom Sandoval while he’s down — even if he deserves it. The Vanderpump Rules finale showed an unrelenting Vanderpump as she sat down with Tom to discuss his months-long affair with his partner, Ariana Madix’s best friend, Raquel Leviss.

Cast members, including Ariana, Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, and James Kennedy, were vocal throughout the episode about their zero interest in remaining friends with either Sandoval or Leviss following the scandal. Consequently, fans are curious about what that means for the series moving forward since they were a massive part of this season’s biggest storyline.

Despite their fake apologies and attempts at reconciliation, the others aren’t buying it. Well, maybe one person. 

Lisa is hopeful for Tom’s future

In a new interview with E! News, Lisa said she refuses to give up on Tom despite his unforgivable mistake. 

“I didn’t take sides with Tom, I definitely condemned what he did,” she said. “You know, I can’t write him off as a person because he had an affair. The way he handled it, yes, of course.”  

Lisa’s support of Tom doesn’t come as a shock to those familiar with the show. She has received backlash for going too easy on Sandoval, and to her critics, she let their complaints roll off her back. “… can’t keep everybody happy all the time,” she said. 

However, pleasing her fans doesn’t seem to be her first priority in this situation. 

“That’s not what I’m not trying to do,” she explained. “I’m trying to tell the truth. Also, I feel like a mother to some of these children. So, when he’s been lambasted by the whole world, what am I going to do pile on? No, I’m going to try and have a modicum of — not empathy, I don’t have empathy — but a modicum of hope. Maybe for the future.”

Seeing Raquel and Tom on Season 11 of VPR is looking unlikely. But we’ve seen miracles happen on Bravo. 

“It’s going to be complicated,” Lisa shared. “But Vanderpump Rules has never been a fairy tale. Let’s be honest.”

Vanderpump Rules continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
