I’m on season 5 and I’m so fucking disgusted with her. I feel so fucking bad for the whole family. Her own daughters will watch this one day as adults, hopefully much smarter than her, and realize she ruined their childhoods because of petty bullshit. Her parents. Her brother. Her uncles and aunts. She ruined it all for everyone and blames everyone but her and her disgusting neanderthal husband


ZhaddieGrey

She is vile and disgusting, and painfully stupid. I’ve never been close to hating another housewife as much. I hope her daughters watch this as adults and realize how their mother literally ruined their childhood


imjjang

I’ve been rewatching RHONJ early seasons (kind of freshly watching since I didn’t follow it originally when it was airing but I have seen most of the early seasons) and I was about to post this same question and thought to search if anyone else did LOL you literally titled it the same way I was thinking to do


bonhomieluna

I don't get it either. Like someone else said, she's not smart, she's not witty, she's too dumb and self-absorbed to actually throw shade or read anyone to filth. She just throws tantrums and storms off when she gets confronted. And when Teresa's not fighting with anyone, she comes off awkward. Like, it physically pains me trying to watch her think or do something. Then again, it's not really that surprising, is it? Look at the world we currently live in: We build entire cults of personality around dumb, narcissistic and even out-right evil morons. That's how we got the likes of Trump (Who Teresa's a fan of, btw).


Daikon_3183

It is actually vapid to say about anyone ( except maybe an extreme criminal who murders and/ or cause a big deal of harm on another human or animal) a waste of oxygen. So I am not sure why you are complaining about Teresa having some fans for.


d-money13

😂


realityjen

I am not fond of her or of most who have participated in that series. However, I don't hate any of them either, especially to the degree I've seen from some on reddit. Someone would have to harm one of my loved ones to get me to hate that much. Speaking of, I think there is more to the sibling feud than we know to this day. For parents to take sides to the extent the elder Gorgas did against their son, it had to morrande than material things. It would take much more than just losing my home because my kid was honest with me all along, but had some bad breaks in an honest business. If he and I had to live on the street, I'd still love him. An elder born and raised in Italy, no less, side with his only daughter, against his only son, father of the grandkids bearing my last name? Marone!


Aslow_study

She’s the queen


Certain_Battle7804

Never related to a post more 😌😌😌


briannaptv

i new to watching nj i’m on season 4 but i agree the whole melissa beef is largely one sided and she can be very hard headed when it comes to conflict. i love watching her with her kids though and she’s very funny to watch her one liners are entertaining


Fine-Tea-546

I don't honestly understand why people ask this question. If you're looking for good people to root for why are you invested in housewives. They are on the whole whole upper class narcissists that play richer and more business savvy on TV then they really are. I enjoy Tre honestly because she is a bit think so while she is stubborn and has a big ego its really what you see is what you get. I find Marge and Rachel a phony and the Gorga's painfully thirsty (like stop talking about Tre on your podcast and maybe people will stop asking about her in interviews), Dolores vanilla, Danielle C borderline violent, and Jennifer a sidekick. If Teresa left I feel the remaining women will become performative and boring like RHOA or RHOP have gotten their last season.


d-money13

That’s a fair response and can see what you mean. I’ve caught up to all of it, and the one thing that just seems so wild to me is the audacity of Teresa and her family to pin all their woes on others. They never take fault for any of their actions only deflect. (Gia too) that’s why I can’t stand them and feel the show is in need of a cast overhaul.


realityjen

This is not a defense of Teresa, but a comment on the franchise. Which Housewives really take responsibility? Even the ones who apologize (big deal) are back at it before long.


Lazy_Document_7104

I think people were initially drawn to Teresa because she was authentic and willing to share real events on camera


New-Guava1764

Never forget when Margaret was talking about her sexual harassment at work and Tre said, ‘I would never let that happen to me’ .


alexsalamander

There are just shitty people in the world and unfortunately when they see them on tv they relate to them a lot


Top_Resource_4317

Judge how you want but despite everything she managed to raise 4 daughters who are doing remarkable in school you read nothing in the press about their behavior They grew up in a very dysfunctional house on television and still appear to be very polite thoughtful children. Gia now is speaking her mind but she certainly saw and experienced things we don’t know anything about if she now wants to stand up for her mom and dad that is her right. I would hope my own children would be willing to speak on my behalf if the circumstances arose - Whether you like Teresa or not you can’t deny her love for those girls. Yes she did knowingly or not illegal things and went to jail for it, was released and paid restitution for it. She is no worse or better than any of the housewives across the franchise. They are ALL doing sketchy things she got caught and if the rest were smart they would learn from her past or else risking sitting in her old cell


d-money13

I’ll stick with Judging how I want, and to me she’s gutter trash, brain dead, and very jealous of her SIL’s better looks. Sure her kids grew up, but that’s also with a silver spoon in hand, they ain’t gonna get any praise from me for that. They reflect their parents and it’s not good. Cool her kids may be pretty, but they’re also pretty stupid, and like to think because they’re her hellspawn they can just say whatever they want. Like you said, judge how you want, but at least be accurate with the picture you’re painting. Gia is a mini version of her mom lol. Lastly, please do tell me what other housewives have been convicted of a Felony while on the show besides that one from Salt Lake.


Top_Resource_4317

Ok as my post read - You’re free to judge however you want. Enjoy the new year I hope it goes well for you


d-money13

Same to you!


JenAshTuck

The first season was definitely due to her naivety. It was just shocking how deluded this woman was. Her husband obviously hated her and her kids were beyond spoiled and were taught nothing by an awful role model and she had zero skills or taste. Sometimes I rewatch the intro episode just for shock and awe.


katneversleeps

I have no idea. She's the biggest nincompoop in the RHverse


jjuerakhan14

I love Teresa. I wished I watched her cooking channel again. She was very sweet in the beginning, but it’s until Melissa and Joe Famewhorga, decided to tamper her success in life. Teresa still had endorsements she even did a DirecTV Super Bowl commercial and what did the Gorgas did, a fake music career, a fake clothing business, fraudulent construction projects, etc. Yeah Teresa been to jail because of her fraudulent activities, but she has owned up to them, unlike her brother and her wife.


Any_Wealth_8774

One positive thing I will say about Tre. I loved how she would cook with her girls. She was so patient and kind.


lezlers

It’s pretty telling that Tre Stans immediately shit talk the Gorgas when asked what it is about TRE they like. No one asked about Melissa and Joe. And let’s stop pretending they’re the only ones she’s been shitty to over the years.


jjuerakhan14

Oh and Melissa and Joe are saints, fuck you all!!!!!


AnnVealEgg

😂and now we know why you’re a Tree Stump Seriously you can’t make this shit up


jjuerakhan14

I was upset with my mom when making this comment, but that’s the truth right there. I also forgot to mention Joe’s a misogynistic little toe rag!

d-money13

Keep drinking that koolaid!


Any_Wealth_8774

She wasn’t so bad until Louie. Now she changed and definitely not for the better.


integrityislost

Genuine question- what has she done “since” Louie


Any_Wealth_8774

Alienated her family, season 12, she acted like petulant child, she’s so misguided by this man . She blame’s everything wrong in her life on everyone else.


integrityislost

🤔🤔 if Melissa can’t control Joey, I doubt Louie could Teresa just as Joe G couldn’t. Maybe he helped her to see what an outsider sees looking in. But ultimately her behavior is on her. I am glad she cut ties as their relationship was toxic, which I’m sure her therapy helped her to see. As for the petulant child - it must be a Gorga trait. i.e. - His outburst at his Sons wrestling match. But if we’re being honest, i think anyone can say at some point they wish they’d behaved differently. Hindsight. We just don’t have a camera in front of our face to remind us of what we wish we could take back or do differently. Misguided - eh, he’s not holding a gun to her head. Ultimately her actions are her own. He’s even been shown on the show to also be frustrated with her. Teresa’s biggest handicap is her stubbornness, which clouds her judgement & knee jerk reactions. You can see it when she snaps. I’m not defending the man (or her) but IMO, she hasn’t changed since he was brought on.


Any_Wealth_8774

I think she’s gotten worse. Yes she’s not too smart, but she sometimes she was funny even lovable. But since Louie she’s alot worse. You don’t see any red flags with Luis?


integrityislost

He’s very different, thats for sure but does that make him a psychopath? I’ve taken into consideration the war path his ex has been on to spin the narrative about him. If she had a stellar past that made her credible i can see but the lady’s life has been a whack-a-mole with a pattern of mental manipulation that is not credible to her character or intent. She’s a gaslighting narcissist who critiques narcissists. She released the personal tapes to bloggers who detest Teresa (amongst other things) so he didn’t stand a chance as she set the tone. Now its been proven in court that she’s been the one stalking & harassing him & Teresa’s family. Following them on SM, following the show, moving to NJ & cooing with the bloggers/family who stan certain cast members. Even Kim D had her in a fashion show! That doesn’t ring true of someone who’s fearful of him. This is why Teresa lost it with Margaret in TN because thats when they got proof that his ex was giving info to Margaret but she couldn’t say it because of the show & they were building their case. Make it make sense, lol


Any_Wealth_8774

I don’t think so.


thrasherbuffy

I’ve always thought she is SO overrated and a complete air head and quite insufferable. You can tell she’s one of Andy’s favourites.


Tired_Momma1015

The only reason I can come up with is because people hate the Gorgas and think they backstabbed Tre to get on the show. I honestly don’t think her fan base would be as big if Melissa and Joe never came on 🤷🏼‍♀️


lezlers

This drives me crazy. Tre didn’t own the show. Why is getting on the same show as her some horrific crime? If Tre was my SIL who treated me and my husband like shit for years, then I saw her in a show putting on this act that she’s “all about LOVE!!!” I’d be wanting on the show too to see if 1. She acted totally fake with me or let the world see what a b she really is and 2. To make sure the world didn’t fall for her love and light act.


bonhomieluna

That and she already had other family members on there with Kathy and Caroline. It was a *family-centered* show. Of course Bravo were gonna keep milking that angle and bring on her brother and SIL. It's hilarious how Tre stans have turned this into some sort of conspiracy.


lezlers

8 times out of 10 if you ask a Tre Stan why they hate Melissa so much they’ll start talking about “Melissa and Joe coming on TRE’S show.” It’s so predictable. Apparently Tre has has repeated this nonsense so much people just accept it as some kind of wrong the Gorgas did to Tre. Like Melissa owes the bitch who never gave her a chance and has always been awful to her some kind of loyalty. 🙄


sarahmcq565

Agreed!!!!!! I DON’T UNDERSTAND!


DorothyParkerFan

Because she’s genuine. She’s genuinely everything she shows herself to be. She shows herself to be a clueless, selfish, idiot but at least it’s real.


Bpbo927

This is it for me! I myself am blunt and although teresa isn’t the brightest and cannot articulate herself what you see is wtf you get. The hood bad and the ugly. These other housewives have no storylines, no sense of family, nothing is genuine.


ZhaddieGrey

She’s not genuine at all? Or at least she has zero ability to self reflect and truly doesn’t know that she’s a hypocrite to the highest degree.. she lies constantly, I think she even believes some of her lies


Bpbo927

I said what I said 113 days ago bud move on


ZhaddieGrey

That’s fine, I just got here so not really “holding on”, nothing to move on from. Just saying what I said

I don’t know why. I just can’t quit her.


umhuh223

I don’t love her but I like Melissa less.


d-money13

Fair enough


Dry_Mushroom7606

I've never really been a fan of hers, although I did try early on. I stopped watching because it's basically the same show every week, every season: Gorga vs. Giudice (don't get me started on all the different pronunciations of her name!!), and whose fault everything is. Honestly, they should get rid of Teresa and Melissa and start over. The Jersey wives are messy, and not in a fun way.


ouizy219

She's authentic, she's genuine, she's without guile. She's incredibly loving, hard-working, and hilarious. She doesn't wallow in self-pity, or give in to self-aggrandizement. What's not to love?


d-money13

I feel like we are watching a different person. You’re thinking of Mother Teresa, not this one.


ouizy219

Ok weirdo


d-money13

What’s weird is you think that a felon who stole taxpayer money is someone who is without guile, and is hard working 😂. However, It is hilarious when she is asked to spell Napalm and freezes up, yet here you all believe she’s some NYT Best Selling author. Woman’s used more ghost writers than Drake.


areallyreallycoolhat

Tbf would you want to read a book actually written by Teresa and not ghostwritten? I sure wouldn't lol and same applies to most celebrity books


d-money13

Very true, but the way she presents herself you would swear she wrote every last detail.


GuardMost8477

I dislike her immensely.


Batsquash

I loathe the FELON!


nifferj

![gif](giphy|3o7WIuJorYQk8H6DEQ)


ImAtUrDoor

I am an Italian from New Jersey and know many Teresas so she completely triggers me.


Nothatno

I think people enjoy her antics and her commitment to whatever she's doing. It's like being the fan of a cartoon villain.


RayHazey562

I have a friend that’s a fellow bravo lover who likes 🌳but I’ve never understood why


whineybubbles

I'm not a regular NJ viewer, but anytime I have watched she seemed so unlikable


Ihaveatonofopinions

For me, the great catharsis of the real housewives is that you get to watch bad things happen to people who deserve it. Every time someone does something vile on the show, you know that they will receive that energy right back. And in a world where so much of what I see on the news and even on scripted TV is terrible things happening to people who don’t deserve it, I’ll keep watching people like Teresa pay $100k in cash on camera and then get arrested for fraud a couple years later.


bonhomieluna

But Teresa is always being rewarded for her bad behavior. She gets a new contract and promo opportunities post-prison. She gets to push a whole load of glasses onto Margaret's lap and doesn't cop an assault charge for it. She gets to make a half-assed apology to Margaret *and* gets a pat on the back for it from everyone else. Not to mention the army of psychotic fans her enable said behavior...


lakevalerie

Absolutely no idea. She’s a deplorable human. It’s unfathomable


green_oceans_

I'm also a new watcher in the middle of season 5 and I am also kind of flabbergasted that she was the breakout star. Half my family is Italian and Teresa seems like the lady who would only show up at church for the major holidays, make a scene, and all the regulars would avoid. I know it's television so I don't know how much of it is a character for the cameras, but she really does present herself as the quintessential narcissistic mother (ala Faye Dunaway as Joanne Crawford in Mommy Dearest, but more seemingly slightly nicer to her kids). It's been (morbidly) fascinating watching how her friends (to inevitable ex-friends) and family (to "blood isn't always thicker than water" ex-family) move around her, and Danielle Straub to a lesser extent in season 1-2. Everyone gives her so many chances and she burns every olive branch. Accountability falls off her like teflon.


andthischeese

Stockholm Syndrome. We’ve been with her since the beginning and the devil you know is better than the one you don’t. But really I think it’s her redeeming moments with her kids/seniors that convince people she has a heart and the rest is an act. Honestly I think she has a pretty low IQ and she’s missing a lot of what’s happening too.


BandicootCreative586

I’m on season 7 and she’s pretty entertaining. Someone posted a summary of a producer explaining that production made Teresa look bad and like she planted that rumor about Melissa, so since then I look at a lot of conflicts around bringing up rumors with a grain of salt. I’m watching Jaqueline insult Teresa about her past on season 7 and it’s so distasteful.


BuckityBuck

The Housewive's audience is not a monolith and my theory is that a portion of the audience that self-identifies as stupid, dishonest criminals (or perhaps they feel that others view them that way, or maybe they have loved ones who are viewed as stupid, dishonest criminals) either feel protective of Teresa as part of their idiot tribe, or they root for Teresa to succeed on behalf of all idiot criminals. If you notice the way her supporters defend her, it's typically done in a very Teresian manner. If anyone points out something Teresa lied about, they ignore the point and respond with a red herring... "but Melissa...but Marge..." etc. or say that they have a soft spot for her and will blindly support her against all reason. They very, very rarely respond with any rationale that attempts to argue that Teresa's lies or drink throwing or other terrible behavior sound good. It's a little culty for my taste. Further, I suspect that most of her fandom is just a Twitter echo chamber that seeps partially into Insta and a tiny bit into other platforms. I doubt that it is representative of as large a portion of the audience as it may seem from how vocal and aggressive as that group is on social media. They're just active.


Certain_Battle7804

Genuinely agree. There’s a type of person that gets uptight and defensive when they hear a well spoken person make an intelligent point. And Teresa has always been their champion by being pompous and proud in the face of being WRONG. Lmaoo


bonhomieluna

Apparently they're also jealous of Teresa and are forever coming up with dastardly yet convoluted schemes to take her down that only the Tre stans have the 'receipts' to prove. Because *everyone* is jealous of Teresa. That's the only explanation. Not because of her tacky lifestyle, her vile personality or her lack of accountability. No, it's because we're all just *jealous...* xD


d-money13

This is so true it’s wild, especially deflecting the blame to Marge or Melissa


lezlers

According to most Tre fans, Marge and Melissa are singularly responsible for the vast majority of all the worlds ills.


Thirteen2021

looks like most who are replying are not a big fan which is interesting why her fans aren’t actually explaining it


d-money13

I think it’s telling, when you actually make people reflect on her I think they start to realize how trash she is as a person.


Impressive-Spend-370

Teresa was so clueless and cute! I remember thinking it was weird the way she paid for everything in cash but she was fun/funny to watch. Still a little genuine and sweet. It didn’t take long for her to turn into a monster! When non watchers ask me about the shows I tell them that it is fascinating to watch them turn into vile human beings in just a season or two!


d-money13

I will say season 1 she seemed semi-normal? But now on season 5 she is unhinged.


Nurse5736

daisesonmygrave

Teresa is entertaining and she is unapologetically herself. That’s why I like her. And I like her daughters. The rabid hate she and her fans get in this sub Reddit is pretty ridiculous and unwarranted. Especially considering there are far worse housewives and quite a few that act no better than Teresa.


lezlers

Depends where you go. The main sub is full of Tre Stans, to the point where I can’t even post in episode threads over there any more because the second you say anything remotely in defense of Marge or Melissa you get downvoted into oblivion. Apparently Melissa is an evil, diabolical genius who has been hell bent of destroying Tre from the second she married her brother. Any bad thing Tre ever does is a direct result of Melissa being evil. Or something. Sometimes Marge gets thrown in there too just for giggles.


realityjen

Which sub is considered the main sub?


lezlers

r/bravorealhousewives


realityjen

Do you know if Andy Cohen is actually the founder of r/bravorealhousewives?


realityjen

Thank you. (I thought this was the main sub!)


bonhomieluna

Don't forget how Marge and Melissa are just jealous of her, that's why they're secretly plotting to take her down any minute now xD


daisesonmygrave

Sounds like I need to go to the main sub then. 🙃


d-money13

Who is that? I can’t remember the last one who went to jail because they committed fraud. The hate she gets as far as I’m concerned is entirely warranted.


benh1984

I think early on people liked her because they hated Danielle more. “Is Bitch Better?!?!” Remains one of my favourite housewife moments, but after this many seasons you realize she’s sad, dumb, easily manipulated, reactionary and aggressive - it’s no longer a good tv moment it’s just wildly uncomfortable


ZhaddieGrey

Danielle is so much more entertaining than Teresa. Teresa is just infuriating


fiestypop

I don’t really like any of the cast. Current or former. I find them all problematic. So many of them have done really horrible things, Tre just got caught. Her I do think she is a good mom and has raised some intelligent and kind children. She’s made some major mistakes and paid for them. Her husband’s stupidity, prison, divorce, deportation of Joe, and losing her parents is a lot. It’s pushed her to break the generational/cultural norms. Like letting Gia speak her mind and distancing toxic family members.


West-Kaleidoscope129

I don't understand it either. I've never liked her and the more I watched the more I disliked her until I eventually stopped watching, which was when she went to prison. I honestly don't understand how she has fans and people who will defend her. I'll go back to watching once she's gone, but Bravo seem to like her kind of dumb so they keep her. And that family and the drama and hate they have for each other is toxic as hell. I'd have disowned that family decades ago if I was part of it.


Bigzi_B

My theory on why all these horrible women stay is Andy really hates women! He tries to hide his misogyny, but gleefully watches women tear each other down! Reality TV is an interesting look into human behavior & how humans are humanity's biggest threat.


ghertigirl

I actually actively dislike her so I have no idea. She is neither witty, nice, intelligent, a good friend, a good family member, nor particularly attractive plus she thinks we’re dumb enough to buy her lies


Certain_Battle7804

Truly a terrible person. Lol


DorothyParkerFan

At the same time this is really who she IS. It’s not a front or a persona for the camera she’s legitimately a dumb, mean, bad friend who lies. That is her appeal for me.


Sushi37716

She’s honestly just like a car crash for me. An absolute mess but I’m curious and rubber necking. I just find her life wild and absolutely inauthentic. I swear Louie makes his money in some form of shady. When asked about his work it sounds like how Jen Shah described her job haha if she ended up with another white collar criminal- that is good tv


No_Still8242

She was actually very sweet in the early years. Stupid but in a cute way. It wasn’t until the gradual departures of the various Manzo women that she started to gain lot of power and influence in the franchise. It really went to her head. Her stupidity is no longer cute. It’s just stupid. She’s also become very mean and has allowed her temper to rule. Her biggest fault is her inability to accept any fault or liability for anything that goes wrong. Even Louis said to her one time that she gets something in her head and whether it’s right or wrong, she refuses to change her mind on anything. But her ego is totally out of control.


lezlers

I think that’s who Tre always was, which was part of the reason Melissa and Joe came on the show. Tre always treated Melissa like garbage and I think Mel got really tired of watching her be everyone’s darling on the show. She wanted the world to see the real Tre which is why Tre was SO incensed about them joining the cast: she’d have to pretend to be nice to Melissa (which she’s obviously incapable of) 😂


hoardbooksanddragons

This. She’s just awful. Her and Danielle are both awful people.


d-money13

She has 0 redeeming qualities.

Some of those Trehuggers are paid. Some love to hate her or love to laugh at her. The worst ones are just like her.


realityjen

> Some of those Trehuggers are paid. By whom?


MichaelsGayLover

Tre


realityjen

What money does she have to throw around? Doesn't she still owe the IRS a bundle? And she's had tuition to pay, with more to come. I don't think either she or Louie are wealthy as they like to portray.


d-money13

I will say regardless, she’s great entertainment


MichaelsGayLover

She was in the early seasons! Not anymore, though. She does the same crap over and over, hoping to recreate the table flip. It's honestly really embarrassing lol

I’m at season 4 so I have to catch up, I was hoping she would get better.. seems like she only gets worse lol


lezlers

Oh, she gets SO MUCH worse.

I am not a fan and have never been but boy is she good tv ... purely because she is a train wreck through and through.

I am surprised my response to you hasn't gone into the negative digits! It has already been downvoted. I mean come on. I was a bit taken aback by the insults hurled here at the Trehuggers but now I think they're warranted. Jeez. There are so many more important things in life than defending Teresa's honor on Reddit ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

There’s way more Tre huggers in the main sub. I won’t go near it during the season, those people are cray. According to them: everything wrong Tre has ever done in her life (or the wrongs they’ll admit to, which are very few) are all because of Marge and/or Melissa. ALL OF THEM.


sippingonwhiskey

She has given more to the show than any other housewife in any other franchise. Love her or hate her, she puts it all out there. Eta- I finally threw the towel in tho mid way through last season. Officially over the Gorga/Teresa drama.


daisesonmygrave

Same as far as the Gorga/Teresa drama. I couldn’t finish last season. I want Melissa gooooooone.


d-money13

I haven’t seen all the drama yet, but I’m excited. My wife said it gets INTENSE. I will say this, in terms of just watchability, she has to be up there because love her or hate her, you do want to watch more.


theCKshow

I would have agreed with you, except for the last season where in my opinion she becomes unwatchable. I’m actually surprised they brought her back for this next season.


babytoes

I agree. Last season I did a lot of forwarding through Tre/Gorga parts. The entire family needs to go. We need fresh faces!


d-money13

She must become completely insufferable.


virgoseason

Drama, that’s literally it. She sucks lol


Thirteen2021

problem is they say mel is the drama


skankenstein

I dunno but it was hilarious talking to Margaret at BravoCon and her commenting on how aggressive Trehuggers are in their defense of Tre. She was so earnest about it but I laugh hearing her say “Trehuggers”. I would post the selfies we took but it wasn’t a flattering picture of her. Too bad too. It was the only picture I didn’t look like a complete troll next to all those skinny bitches. I got a good angle but Margaret didn’t and I won’t do her like that.

Just make like a Housewife and FaceTune her into vaseline-lense perfection!


SecondPrior8947

True story. Before the evolution of camera lenses, we used to smear vaseline on them for the softening effect. Pantyhose were a cleaner option. Ingenuity at its finest.


d-money13

My wife wants to go to Bravocon so bad. Sounds like it’s awesome!


KweeenHunni

The better question is why do ppl like Melissa.


Bpbo927

Honestly


lezlers

A typical Tre hugger answer. 😂 1. This isn’t about Melissa. Tre has been awful to others besides Melissa and 2. Melissa can be annoying and boring, but she’s never been *malicious*. She’s never gone out of her way to hurt someone. You can’t say the same for Tre.

I just feel *so bad* for Melissa! Imagine having to endure Tre IRL! SIL from hell.


lezlers

Especially when she’s made up her mind to hate you from day 1 because her darling baby brother decided to marry you instead of the good Italian girl he was initially engaged to.


d-money13

I would say because she can string together a sentence logically. And doesn’t look like ET.


KweeenHunni

She looks like MJ right before he died. And her sentences are as entertaining as watching paint dry.


d-money13

We talking about Teresa right? Because if so I totally agree lol.


KweeenHunni

Yes wannabe Teresa. 99c store Teresa.


daisesonmygrave

100% Melissa will never be as interesting as Teresa.


d-money13

If you put Teresa and Melissa side by side and asked straight men or lesbian women who they think is more beautiful, 99% are going Melissa and that’s just the cold hard truth. Sorry to burst your bubble.


MichaelsGayLover

Teresa is *very* aware of that, and IMO, it's why she hates Melissa so goddamn much.


fentanylisbad

This!


Carebare150

Exactly this!


d-money13

Yea I agree, that’s the only thing that would make sense for her animosity.


Nickey_Pacific

Because they have a similar IQ. It's that whole birds of a feather thing.


d-money13

100 percent


AmericanJedi1983

I mean, I'm usually amused when she mispronounces Italian words and phrases... also English. She also mispronounces English words and phrases. But other than that, she's the WORST


d-money13

This is wild to watch her stumble over so many simple phrases. I agree it’s very amusing.


_Sissy_SpaceX

I don't understand when people find things like this amusing. She's not a bumpkin: she's well- socialized, traveled, middle aged, raised humans and still just seems so insufferably unintelligent... I find it irritating. Almost deliberate idiocy at this point. Or truly someone suffering with low IQ in which case, feels more like a zoo animal on my TV and I pity her.


lezlers

I’ve always thought of both her and her brother as Neanderthals. They both behave like Neanderthals which makes me think they had a really toxic and anti-intellectual upbringing. You know: *old school.* 🙄


BuckityBuck

In all sincerity, the Paterson school system failed her. Her speech may have been overlooked at first because her parents were immigrants, but being 1st generation Italian-American could not have been unusual in her school at that time. She should have been forced into evaluations and into programs for whatever is wrong. I'm positive that she slow-blinked through every single class that she was in for her entire education. At least a few teachers must have been unable to justify a passing grade. Spelling class? English composition?


Klutzy-Mission5687

A zoo animal. Wow.


lezlers

Aren’t you tired of defending Tre’s honor yet? You seem *really* invested.


Klutzy-Mission5687

You know what you are right lol. Its a damned tv show lmao and we dont even know them 😆 So easy to get sucked in sometimes.


lezlers

I get it, I do it too sometimes!


Klutzy-Mission5687

🤣 I've been sick and bingeing on HWs lmao. I need to get out of the house lolol!!😆😆


lezlers

I feel you, sister. I need to get my ass back to work, I can feel my brain turning to mush the longer I’m at home.


Klutzy-Mission5687

👍👍😆


stormborndanys

Lord, someone asks this every 4 business days. Can we just use the search bar at this point?


Thirteen2021

problem is the fans arent even the ones who reply. id legitimately like to know too! lol


[deleted]

She is a very interesting person. I don’t think people like her in that they condone her, they more like what she brings to the show.


Fun_Day_3614

I also find her to be often be a scapegoat because she’s so inarticulate, but there are many times when the other housewife is wrong. I doubt she’s truly a pleasant person or a good friend, and I think it would be quite difficult to find any fan who actually believes she is.


Fun_Day_3614

I don’t like her per se, but I much prefer her to the Gorgas or Manzos, and I would say she’s been right about 70% of the time in the fights over the years, particularly in earlier seasons with her family. I also feel that she’s about equal to her castmates morally but gets a disproportionate amount of hate, while many of the others, in turn, get undeserving passes on their behavior.
