You're The One With Red Hair Caroline...You're The Clown...

Tonight was the season finale for Season 2 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey and from the clip shown above, this was the ultimate showdown between Caroline Manzo and Danielle Staub and when I say that Caroline Manzo is loyal to her family, I mean she truly lives by the motto "blood is thicker than water".  Let's dig in.

Caroline agreed to meet with Danielle to talk about dropping charges made against Ashley. Caroline's family pleaded with her to avoid Danielle as well as Danielle's children pleading with their mother to avoid Caroline. Both women decided to meet and after a few agreements on incidents, Danielle put up her wall and proceeded to make Caroline look like the bad guy. It didn't work because Caroline is a woman of integrity and doesn't back down from a fight, even if she's cornered. Danielle on the other hand unravels when cornered....she lies.

After Caroline called Danielle garbage twice and because she knew she was losing to a woman who was ready for anything, Danielle mustered up something after Caroline called her a clown. She replied: "Caroline, you're the one with the red hair...you're the clown". Caroline came back with venom and Danielle was unprepared and walked out. Typical of someone losing a fight, they walk away. Nothing was resolved.

We'll see more of the ladies next week for Part 1 of the reunion show. I know I can't wait...

This Is What Happens When You Mess With Crazy

Every Monday as you all may have figured out is my Real Housewives of New Jersey night. Last week was combination of nail biting and adrenaline as Danielle and Teresa fought over words. This week is pretty light yet disturbing as Jacqueline, Danielle, Teresa, and the rest of the girls are dealing with the consequences of Ashley's actions. I think I'll start with Danielle.

Danielle decided to press charges against Ashley for her hair pulling attack at the fashion show. While I'm an advocate for justice, I have to question Danielle's maturity in engaging in a feud with a 19 year old.Let's keep in mind that Danielle is nearly 50. Shouldn't this be taken up with the mother rather than with the child? Granted Ashley is an "adult" she is half this woman's age and it's inappropriate for a mother of 2 to verbally attack a child on facebook and then continue the charade on camera. Danielle, get it together because it's starting to become pathetic.

Now on to Ashley. As previously stated in other postings, Ashley you're in that phase where you're invincible to world and nothing can harm you. I'm 2 years older than you and I feel that way at times but I also know not to provoke someone mentally unstable.  You know better than to try and battle with a crazy person. Listen, I know Danielle hasn't been declared unstable by a doctor but her behavior is disturbing and not normal for someone who is almost 50.

In bringing the topic back on Ashley, I believe I support minor jail time for her because it's the only way she'll learn some discipline and learn that there's a time and place for everything.

XOXO,

Your House Is In Foreclosure! No It's Not...Bitch!

Well well well after going through a Real Housewives of New Jersey withdrawal last Monday, tonight was the episode that we were all waiting for. Tonight was the showdown between Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub. Two weeks ago, we left off with the infamous "Don't call me honey/Is bitch better?"quote and to continue the drama, Danielle sparked a powder keg in Teresa when she responded to Teresa's "I live in a 5 million dollar mansion" quote by saying "Your house is in foreclosure". Honey child....Teresa snapped and proceeded to chase Danielle down the hallway. Danielle broke her heel and hid behind a bush. If you think it ended there...you weren't watching.

As Kim G tried to escort Danielle back to the car, Ashley, Jacqueline's daughter, grabbed Danielle's hair and ripped out some of her extensions. Stick around I have something to say about Ashley's behavior in a bit. As the commotion died down, Danielle called the cops and Ashley wasn't brought up on charges. All may have seemed well for Ashley but her behavior wasn't received well by her parents and she was chastised for her poor judgment. Ultimately, it looks as if Ashley will be arrested.

Where to begin? I'll start with altercation between Teresa and Danielle. Teresa if you know you're dealing with someone unstable, the slightest thing can set them off. They're unbalanced therefore you have to be delicate or else there are consequences...irrational consequences. No one wins against someone whose behaviors mirrors that of a psycho.

Ashley Ashley Ashley...how old are you again? You're 18? Yes you're 18 which means you stay out of grown folk's business. Unless you saw your mother being hit, you keep your mouth shut and your hands to yourself. Now, Danielle is going to press charges on you and what are you going to do about that? You have no means of fending for yourself and for you to talk back to your parents is UNACCEPTABLE. In my house, there were repercussions for back talk...not nice ones. The only way for her to learn how to stay in her place is for her to get arrested. I support that.

Congratulations to Albie Manzo for fighting his semi-discriminatory case against his former Law School. You rock!

XOXO,
