There's a reason English is one of the most difficult languages to learn and I don't fault any non-native English speaker for not mastering it. But Teresa gets no passes from me. Her parents moved here when her mother was pregnant with her so she has literally lived here her entire life. She was educated in American schools. And the final nail in my judgment coffin of her is that her brother was raised in the same house as her and doesn't seem to have any of these issues with the language. Teresa is just dumb and hides behind her parents' immigrant status. Kind of like Peggy from BH. The woman has lived here her entire life, has a degree in ENGLIGH from University yet pretends to not know about very common American sayings. It's absurd.

For starters, it's "biased" not "bias." Secondly, Teresa has also been an author, wine distributor, restaurant owner and god knows what else. And trying to throw stones at Melissa for being the subject of a lawsuit (merit of said lawsuit unknown), while Teresa has literally served a prison sentence for fraud is rich.

That poster was responding to YOUR post where you were saying that Melissa and Joe never help out with Tre's kids. It was literally like, 4 posts back.

Anyone who has time to work out twice a day every day can't be THAT busy.

Gold digger? How exactly are you defining that term? They've been married 15 years, they have three kids and seem to have a happy, affectionate marriage. Where is "gold digger" coming from? Because Joe makes decent money? So is Jen a gold digger? Marrying someone who makes a decent living doesn't make someone a gold digger. That's a MAJOR stretch. And Melissa has gone through as many "careers" as Tre or, frankly, any other housewife. She's no different than any of them when it comes to vanity projects.

Is she Jewish? They tend to intersect. 😄

It's all about context, tho. The original poster was calling out Andy for catering to Teresa with his "away" talk. It might be a euphemism in many communities and cultures but not Andy's, as far as I know. So my insisting on saying "away" instead of "in jail/prison" he IS cow towing to Teresa and her desires, as it's not something he would normally say. The whole reason he's saying it is to appease her. In fact, I believe she's corrected him in the past when he HAS said "jail." We're not dealing with someone like Delores saying it, where your argument would make total sense.

Joyce is one of the few people I dislike more than Teresa.

That's what bothers me the MOST about "left couch." They preach about "old school values" but those values tend to only apply to people they like. If the abhorrent behavior is directed towards someone they don't care for, suddenly forget all of the "old school values" they constantly brag about. The thing with the glass is really one of the only times Delores actually called someone out for behavior directed towards someone she doesn't care for. Apparently hypocrisy is a very "old school value."

Guilt is part of the Catholic Italian "culture." My family specializes in it.

All Teresa DOES is insult Melissa, then she has the audacity to be offended that Melissa doesn't show blind loyalty to her. Why WOULD she? Teresa is horrible to her! It's kind of amazing to watch. The women has less than zero self awareness and is such a damn narcissist.

Except Tre loses her goddamn mind every time someone says "jail" or "prison."

I was LIVING for Joe Gorga saying that Juicy was a lazy bum who got by scamming other people and that's why he spent so much time with Nonno. Teresa couldn't even say anything about that shit because it's TRUE. When you don't work an honest day in your life, you've got lots of time to sit around and drink with your alcoholic father in law.

I don't understand justifying treating your kids badly as a "cultural" thing, as Jennifer did about the way her mother treated her growing up. I mean, if her own mother was treated badly by her mother and it sucked, why would she repeat that with her own children, knowing how badly it made her feel as a kid? To me, that makes it worse. It's not like it makes the children end up "better." Putting someone's sole value in who they marry is gross. Certainly not a cultural belief I would brag about.

I loved how Andy told her "you said something nice, then took a right turn and became negative" and she's like "how so?" Melissa is right, you can't argue with her. Teresa is straight up delusional.

I haven't read through this whole page yet, but I'm hoping this post was made before the info came out that she's...a bit of a psycho, if that info has been disclosed yet. Apparently her own family doesn't speak to her after she threatened to murder their mother and she mocks and damns disabled children on facebook. Real sweet woman, there.

I still think Ashley is confusing polygamy with polyamory.

I don't disagree. That's why I specifically used to word "probably" in my post. Race coming into play in their decision to arrest Mike is also pure speculation. Considering no one here is psychic (to my knowledge) it's all speculation.

I'm sure if Matt had been late to his parole appointments a few times, then cruised in 10 minutes after a 5 hour window driving like a lunatic on a suspended license, they'd probably take him in too.

So...she gives a nasty middle school low blow and that's your reasoning for siding with her? I'm confused. I mean, there's a reason NO ONE is on team right couch. Do you also think Danielle is in the right? Just wondering.

Except she doesn't KNOW about Megan.

Why would it be bigoted? Just because Michael is black? So now every time a person of color is arrested it's because the arresting officers are bigots? Interesting. Because being jealous of someone doesn't make you bigoted. That's a very strong accusation to make so you'd definitely wouldn't want to toss it around so easily. If you simply meant jealous, not bigoted (those two are very separate things) is it because you think the parole officers are mad because they can't go driving around with a camera crew behind them and they arrested him because of that? That's a bit of a stretch. I think it's much more likely they're being tired of a parolee being late to his appointments after being granted a five HOUR window and on top of that, being arrogant enough to cruise in behind the wheel of a car when he can't legally drive. Seems a bit more likely.

I don't know if this has already been answered, but they also said he had a FIVE HOUR window. That means, he could've reported any time between 1 and 6. So what does he do? Roll up at 6:10, driving, which he is not supposed to be doing (I'm guessing he doesn't have a license.) And it wasn't the first time. I don't blame them for taking him in and I don't think race had anything to do with it. He's only been out a few weeks and has already screwed up twice.

Teresa is the one who always stoops to physical violence. Table flip, shoving Andy down, grabbing his cards and doing whatever to Jackie that we haven't seen yet. Teresa has the emotional maturity of a 12 year old boy and the intelligence of a five year old.

My favorite was when she called Jackie a "white trash bitch" for not talking to her sister. So what does that make your father, Tre? Or Dina, your BFF? OR YOURSELF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WITH JOE? She's such a goddamn moron.
