L’episodio inaugurale di “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” è stato presentato in anteprima il 12 maggio 2009 ed è sicuro affermare che la Bravosfera non è mai stata la stessa. “La riunione più dura che abbia mai visto, probabilmente quei primi anni del Jersey in cui era una guerra di sangue”, ha ricordato una volta il produttore esecutivo e l’attaccante di Housewives Andy Cohen a proposito della volatile riunione della prima stagione dello show (tramite Reality Tea). Guerra di sangue, davvero! In effetti, i combattimenti tra gatti e le spaventose risse fisiche erano quasi sempre parte integrante delle varie trame dello spettacolo. Casi in questione: l’incidente del battesimo di Joe Giudice contro Joe Gorga, il famigerato fiasco da strappare i capelli e un altro crimine di Joe-on-Joe in quello che doveva essere un ritiro per aiutare a guarire la famiglia, solo per citarne alcuni.
The Caroline Manzo and Teresa Giudice feud was intense
"DO NOT BRING UP MY FAMILY!!!"
While many might argue that the feud between "Real Housewives of New Jersey" OGs Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub reigns as the messiest (infamous table flip and all), many Bravo fans beg to differ. According to a survey completed by 556 participants, Nicki Swift found that 21.04% (or 117) of the Bravo diehards believe that the feud between Giudice and Caroline Manzo takes the win for the messiest feud in the history of the New Jersey installment. As you may recall, Giudice and Caroline started the reality show as friends but by Season 3 the pair had become serious foes. According to Caroline, the friendship went downhill once it "became a competition for her." Still, Caroline was adamant that she wasn't playing the same game. "I was just doing my own thing, I didn't care and until this day I defy anyone who says I was anything but supportive to her," she recalled during an interview with Bravo.
As for the rest of the results, Giudice and Melissa Gorga's feud came in second with 19.78%, followed by Jackie Goldschneider and Giudice with 18.71%, Caroline and her sister Dina Manzo with 16.19%, Staub and Margaret Josephs with 14.03%, and Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita with 10.25%. It should be noted, however, that Giudice made headlines back in February 2022 when she told Andy Cohen that she would be open to a reconciliation with Laurita. TBD, we suppose.
