Lura January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 Obviously, I would make a lousy PR person for Gia! Clearly, her video is a play for pity, sung by a girl who can't sing, and furthermore, she wears a tight sweater which dips too low into the danger zone. Both Gia and her mother should be mortified for putting out such a dismal project, such a downer, and while we're on the subject, she looks like her father.

WireWrap January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 Personally it appears to be parents indulging their children's hobby. This goes beyond "indulging" IMO. It smacks of exploitation to me, done to keep her mother front and center so that Bravo/Andy and the viewers do not forget her while she is in prison and until she is able to film again. It is a ploy for sympathy! If someone critiques Gia's singing/song they are accused of "attacking" a poor child who's mother was ripped from her home and put in prison leaving her 4 beautiful daughters in the care of their drunk father, who got their mother sent to prison in the first place. If they attack Teresa/Joe for allowing Gia to do this, they are accused of stealing what little fun/enjoyment/dreams this poor, poor child has left because her parents are going to/are in prison.

Her parents critics will no doubt see the video as a reaffirmation of their well justified criticism of Teresa and Juicy's sketchy parenting skills.

This is really a cheesy move.In elementary school my son's music teacher came to my home to give him piano lessons. I paid her for every lesson, it had nothing to do with the school. Children were not taught how to play piano in school. In school he was given violin lessons as part of the curriculum.I'm guessing Gia's teacher may have either volunteered her services if it's just one song or she may be getting paid as a voice coach for the three girls in the group. No doubt, from the words of the song, the teacher is sympathetic toward Gia's suffering about her parents going to jail.

The four girls are collateral damage...unfortunately they will be doing time also. Their loser parents believed stealing other people's money and living the high life was more important than the welfare of their kids. Right now the girls are living with their dad, an admitted alcoholic (on TV) which is a mental disease with physical consequences. Should this guy be the guardian of the children...no way?

Maybe I'm overly influenced by negative feelings about her family and the whole "I get paid because I'm famous" thing. But imo she doesn't have talent and is only getting attention because her equally untalented parents got lucky to be generously paid to be on a "reality" television show. If she were "Gia Smith" she just be one of thousands of teenage girls on YouTube with average voices and musical tastes who want to be rich and famous. Personally, I hope it doesn't happen and that she eventually decides to "answer her critics" by concentrating on schoolwork and the hobbies she likes (including singing) without the family's "delusions of grandeur". As for the teacher, I question her motives (as in, "helping Gia"? or "maybe getting some attention and YouTube money for myself and the song"?)

archer1267 January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 if Joe is deported, how will he make a living in Italy? How is he making one here in the US?? Seriously, though, I imagine that Joe could probably do general handyman work…or open another pizza parlor and then close it when he can't keep up with the lunch rush. The deporting thing seems heavy-handed to me and I wonder if that will happen. What Teresa will do once Joe's in prison is anyone's guess. I'm sure she'll have a period where she'll be in demand on talk shows, the tabloids, etc. but that will eventually peter out. I always thought that Joe would have been happier with a simpler, low-key life, but I don't see Teresa adapting that easily. I can see her living with her parents but beyond that, I'm drawing a blank. I don't know how many more Italian cookbooks she has in her bag of tricks, and it doesn't seem like Fabellini and Milania hair care were successful. I hate to say it, but Teresa fascinates me in an odd way, and for the same reasons why she disgusts me - she seems so un-self aware and lacking in emotional intelligence. It'll be interesting to see if she comes back from "being away" humbled and more reflective…or if she roars back into the limelight with her extensions, fake eyelashes, and "I'm just ditsy" shtick. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11882-trials-and-tribulations-of-juicy-and-tre/page/89/#findComment-770174

When the fame nds how will Tre support her kids? I still believe Bravo will take her back, and with Joe in prison, I see a spinoff in her future. Not saying they should do that, but I think they will. She's not going to prison for a lengthy period where people will forget about her, and there will be some publicity and interest when she is released and it's Joe's turn. I believe Bravo will try to capitalize on that. From there...maybe another cookbook, or maybe a book about her life (remember Caroline's "prophecy" ) and since Melissa Gorga was able to "write" a book, I feel sure Teresa could too. The deportation is another story - because at that point, it's decision time: Does she go with him or stay here with the girls?

zoeysmom January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I still believe Bravo will take her back, and with Joe in prison, I see a spinoff in her future. Not saying they should do that, but I think they will. She's not going to prison for a lengthy period where people will forget about her, and there will be some publicity and interest when she is released and it's Joe's turn. I believe Bravo will try to capitalize on that. From there...maybe another cookbook, or maybe a book about her life (remember Caroline's "prophecy" ) and since Melissa Gorga was able to "write" a book, I feel sure Teresa could too. The deportation is another story - because at that point, it's decision time: Does she go with him or stay here with the girls? I see her staying here, ending marriage and continuing on her merry way. I hope it is a spin off and Teresa is not forced down the throats of whatever cast they cobble together for RHONJ. If it involves Manzos and Lauritas I hope they use their power to just say NO. Although NY and NJ ratings have been tanking this past season Atlanta and BH have been soaring, Time to look at what has gotten old and move on. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11882-trials-and-tribulations-of-juicy-and-tre/page/89/#findComment-777419
Lura January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) If Teresa and Joe could make it through her incarceration, followed by his (that's a LONG time), I think it would be remarkable if they managed to keep that marriage together after years and years alone to think about it. I have to think that Teresa needs a man in her life. She's still young and desirable, and as much as the children mean to her, so does having a man, especially one who is a better man than Joe is. As sure as I think that, however, when I flip the coin and look at the other side, I can see Teresa staying with Joe through thick and thin, because of the children. She may feel that she and Joe have done enough to the kids and the kids need the old stability they used to have before all the trouble began. By the time Joe gets out of prison, Gia will be almost 20, and the parents will be entering their 50s. So much can happen during those years. Will Joe necessarily be sent to a prison nearby? I don't think he has a choice, but I'd think the Bureau of Prisons would take his family into consideration if possible. If they can't see each other often, that will cause even more problems. Time changes things, and so much time will have gone by, that it's nearly impossible to forecast what will happen, I think. One more thing: I don't see Joe as a man who will change once his sentence has been completed. We've seen how he acts when he's been in trouble. He just goes on getting into more trouble. If he learns anything in prison, it will probably be new ways of breaking the law. I can imagine him living the rest of his life violating the law. Would Teresa have it in her to go through that again, or would she even want to? I don't know, but I doubt it.

I am not convinced 1 bit that Teresa has learned her lesson at this point either, she has thumbed her nose at the courts as well IMO. It may not have been as much or as obvious as Joe did but she did it none the less. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11882-trials-and-tribulations-of-juicy-and-tre/page/89/#findComment-778198
AnnA February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 While I do believe that Joe is lazy and doesn't have a problem with shady deals, I don't think he's as greedy as Teresa. She likes to make a big splash and goes over the top on everything. I think Joe can and will be able to live a modest lifestyle. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11882-trials-and-tribulations-of-juicy-and-tre/page/89/#findComment-778426
AuntieDiane6 February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 Joe and Teresa have totally messed up their family. Even when all this prison is done, if Joe is deported, how will he male a living in Italy? When the fame nds how will Tre support her kids? There are a lot of "opportunities" in Italy that he could take advantage of. The deporting thing seems heavy-handed to me Why? He had his entire life to become an American citizen and chose not to. He should be kicked out the second his foot touches land when he's released from his four years in Club Fed -- which, by the way, YOU AND I ARE PAYING FOR. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11882-trials-and-tribulations-of-juicy-and-tre/page/89/#findComment-779238

Wine for breakfast. I'll help him pack it up buttercup! He'd probably be a 'celeb' there. Don't forget his sausage slicer! ;) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11882-trials-and-tribulations-of-juicy-and-tre/page/89/#findComment-781219

I remember reading somewhere??? that when Joe completes his stint at Club Fed, he won't actually be released. He'll be moved to and held at an immigration facility until a decision is made on whether or not he will be deported. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11882-trials-and-tribulations-of-juicy-and-tre/page/89/#findComment-781926
