RHONJ: Is Bravo Liable for Bravolebrities’ Raging Assaults

RageChristeningBravo introduced Joe Gorga to RHONJ viewers as he raged at his son’s Christening.  Gorga turned his infant son’s religious celebration into a battle royale: guests were punched, kicked, thrown, pushed – all because Gorga was unable to control his anger.  With the addition of Joe and Melissa Gorga, RHONJ has become a series of vignettes wrapped in insults, screaming matches, threats, heartbreak and violence.

In fact, Bravo was unable to air most of the Punta Cana footage because of a lawsuit which alleged that Bravo and Sirens Media:

encourage, promote and demand that the cast of RHONJ engage in verbal and physical conflict with one another and members of the public, creating a culture, climate and/or atmosphere of confrontation, hostility and violence in order to attract viewers.

See specifics on Punta Cana lawsuit.

In Season 4, Gorga continued his failure/refusal to control his violent outbursts through out the season. During the Wakile pool party, Gorga raged at his sister, cursing within ear shot of the children.

pfs joe gorgaIn the season finale Gorga attacked Kim D at her own fashion show, calling her a whore and accusing her of being high, etc. Fellow RHONJ castmates tweeted their support by indicating they admired Gorga for “rescuing his wife.”  On what alternate Universe does a man bellow insults at a woman, call her a  whore in front of a crowd and is admired for doing it? Oh, yes the Faux Reality known as BravoTV.

Season 5 premieres on June 2, 2013.  Several cast members, including Joe Gorga have been charged with assault and terrorist threats for causing bodily injury to a third party during filming.  Notwithstanding the pending charges, Bravo is promoting Season 5 by previewing a brawl wherein Gorga attacks Joe Giudice (or so he tried.) The following are still shots of the melee:

QUESTION: Is Bravo liable for the Bravolebrities’ Raging Assaults in StilletoGate?

ANSWER: YES, Bravo and Siren Media had ample proof of Gorga’s propensity for violence, his outbursts were encouraged, within the scope of his employment and thus foreseeable.

In New Jersey, there is a legal doctrine that holds employers liable to third parties for the acts committed by an employee “within the scope of his employment.” The question as to whether the employee acted “within the  scope” is fact sensitive to each case. Courts use the following factors to guide their analysis:

  1. whether the act is of the kind he is employed to perform;
  2. whether the act occurs substantially within the authorized time and space limits;
  3. whether the act is actuated, at least in part, by a purpose to serve the employer; and
  4. whether the use of force is foreseeable.

As to Factor (1), Gorga is employed to create drama. The fact that Bravo used Gorga’s outbursts to promote the upcoming season indicates that he is employed to participate and perpetuate these violent outbursts.

As to Factor (2), there is no question that the alleged assault occurred while filming on site. If reports are accurate, Siren Media prepared the site for the physical confrontation by rearranging furniture and putting security into place.

As to Factor (3), the violent outburst served Bravo’s purpose to create the type of over the top drama to attract viewers and pump up ratings.

Regarding Factor (4), Bravo has filmed Gorga’s violent outbursts for years. Foreseeability of the employee’s act is “crucial” to a finding of liability and Gorga’s outbursts are easily documented.

In the instant matter, Gorga’s repeated consistent rages (without consequence by Bravo) make it clear that his violent behavior is both foreseeable and within the scope of his employment. Thus, Bravo may once again be forced to pay for the bad behavior of it’s Bravolebrities.

The aforementioned analysis deals with the civil liability associated with injuries/damages caused by Bravolebrities. Keep in mind that the criminal charges are separate matters and remain pending with the Bergen County Prosecutor.

RHONJ Marco Sisters’ Fan Tells All

marco sisters fan blog sizeFaux was recently contacted by a woman who was entrusted with running one of the Marco Sisters’ Twitter Fan Pages.  Due to reasons that will become evident hereinafter, this woman shall be known by the alias Jane Doe.

Jane sought a forum to reveal the alleged underhanded tactics employed by the Marco Sisters in pursuing their alleged goals – those being the following:

  • Ensuring Melissa Gorga’s longevity in the limelight
  • Teleporting Kim and Lysa into the RHONJ; and
  • Tarnishing Teresa Giudice’s image so that she would be compelled to depart from Bravo.

silhouette-womanJane agreed to a telephone interview to ensure a free flow of information and follow up questioning.   She agreed to answer all questions without reservation. Not once did she “take the Fifth.”   Jane was brutally honest; accepting responsibility for lying to assist the Marco’s propaganda machine. Her awakening shows the truth shall always prevail:

Faux:    Jane, I understand you ran a Fan Page for the Marco Sisters, is that correct?

 Jane:    Yes, I did.

 Faux:   Tell me how running the Marco Sisters’ Fan Page come to pass.

 Jane:    I was a big fan of Melissa Gorga and I used to tweet her all the time. I was supportive of Melissa and Joe. Eventually Melissa’s sisters Kim and Lysa followed me. We would tweet.  Then Kim asked if I would be interested in running a fan account for Melissa. I was flattered. I loved that Melissa took care of her family, she is beautiful, she was sweet to her fans.

 Faux:   Did Melissa’s sister, Kim, tell you what “running a fan page for Melissa Gorga” would entail and whether you would be compensated?

 Jane:    Kim told me that I would have to tweet and retweet things in support of Melissa & Joe Gorga, make sure I kept up with all her appearances, show what a great wife and mother she was and what a nice person she was. She told me not to be negative. I wasn’t getting paid but she said I would get to know things about Melissa in advance and I would get invited to events.

 Faux:     So how did you go from agreeing to run a Melissa Gorga Fan page to running a Marcos’ Sisters’ Fan page?

 Jane:      Kim told me that her niece wanted to run the Melissa account and told me I could run Marco Sisters account instead.

 Faux:     So tell me about your experience running the Marco Sisters’ page. Was it everything you thought it would be?

Jane:    At first it was great. I would get recognition from Melissa and her sisters. I kept it positive. I worked with their niece who ran some of the other accounts. It was loads of fun. Kim told me that she and Lysa expected to be on the show by next season. They told me they would be taking Teresa and Kathy’s place. So we should show our support by tweeting about them too.

 Faux:     It sounds like things were going well, yet eventually Kim asked you to deactivate the page, correct?

Jane:     Yes.

 Faux:     So how did you fall out of grace with the Marcos?

Jane:     Everything Kim told me was a lie but I didn’t realize it. Kim and Lysa told me that some of Teresa’s fans were doing evil things to Melissa and the fan pages needed to focus on them. Lysa told me a fan named Bino and a blogger named AllAboutTRH were trashing the Gorga family and part of my job was to go after them.

 Faux:     What did you understand her to mean by “go after them?”

 Jane:      Lysa told me that those two were making up lies about Melissa and  run interference, spread the word that Bino and Roxy who ran a blog called All About The Real Housewives were getting their instructions directly from Teresa. It got dark. I spent all my time attacking Bino and AllAboutTRH. It got worse like a snowball. Kim told me to tweet Bino sent me messages. I was doing things I was so uncomfortable doing. I was sliding into a negative place. All of us that were running fan accounts spent more time trashing the Giudices than we spent promoting the Gorgas.

Faux:    So was there a water shed moment for you?

 Jane:     Yes. One night Melissa’s make up guy started bashing Teresa bad. I mean he worked for Melissa and that was her sister in law and he was saying disgusting things. I told Lysa and Kim and they wouldn’t answer me. I told him stop but he got even more nasty and told me to mind my business. Before this when I tweeted about Laurita, Kim sent me a message to take down my tweet before Jacqueline saw it. I didn’t like attacking Joe Gorga’s sister. I wouldn’t do it and one of Kim’s friends told me that I wasn’t a team player. I did everything they asked and I was pissed when they said I wasn’t a team player.

 Faux:     What did you do?

Jane:     I sent Kim and Lisa messages telling them what happened and how I felt. I thought if they knew what the makeup guy was doing, they would tell him to stop. I was wrong. They didn’t get him to stop. They stopped talking to me except to tell me to deactivate the account. Kim’s friend came after me and wouldn’t leave me alone. She threatened to expose me. I saw what she did to people when she went after them.

Faux:    Did you deactivate the account?

 Jane:     At first I was. Then I thought it’s better if I tell what was going on. I posted some of what happened. Kim’s squad came after me full throttle.  They knew they had to destroy me because I knew the truth about them. It’s all an act and they use fans like me, feed us lies and make us attack and make up rumors about Teresa and her supporters. The make up guy and the people that work for Melissa know if they don’t do what they’re told, they’ll be replaced with people who will. I won’t deactivate the account because I created it, I worked at it, so why should they find another unsuspecting fan to use it for spreading lies about Melissa’s sister in law.

 Faux:    Jane, what do you want our readers to know about the Marco Sisters?

Jane:     Thanks for giving me a chance to tell what happened to me. I want everyone to know that Melissa, Kim and Lysa are after fame and money. They don’t care who they have to slaughter or who they lie to get those two things. Kim and Lysa want to be on the show so bad they both work on losing weight and getting plastic surgery like Melissa, but they are so ugly on the inside.  I have the messages saved so I can prove everything. I know how they use people to attack Teresa, family and her fans. They have 5 people handling at least 40 accounts that I know. I stopped watching the show because of them. It was a terrible experience I don’t wish on my worst enemy.

The interview lasted in excess of two hours. The aforementioned excerpts are intended to reveal the reality behind fan pages, and the dark world of Gorga Marco Fan pages. This interview sent us tumbling down the rabbit hole.

UPDATE: May 5, 2013 -True to Form: This evening, the account @MarcoSistersFan with the assistance of Marco Hate Monger QueenzOfMedia tweeted that it never gave an interview to Faux Reality Entertainment. It claimed that it stumbled upon the within interview and felt compelled to set the record straight.

Gorga / Marco Spin continues:

  • How could an account that hasn’t tweeted since September 2012, remarkably return the SAME day as the posting of the aforementioned interview?
  • Why would an account who when last tweeted sparred with hate monger Gorga/Marco lover QueenzOfMedia suddenly be united with QueenzOfMedia on the SAME day of the posting of the aforementioned interview?
  • Why would a person who claims he/she runs the account fail to email Faux or post on the Faux site to proclaim imposter, but instead took to twitter (and joined forces with “an evil Melissa supporter”)?
  • Why would anti Melissa Gorga tweets by @Bino989 suddenly disappear from the TL of the account?

marco sisters caption

Simple – Jane Doe’s telephonic interview occurred on April 12, 2013. Prior to the interview, in order to prove custody of the account, Jane allowed me an opportunity to log into @MarcoSistersFan. Jane confirmed that she would relinquish the account on or about April 16, 2013 (prior to the publishing of the within interview). Jane was certain that upon the posting of the interview, the new custodian would react – and react they did.  

melissa gorga thanks queenz for being sweet

Stay tuned, Part 2 will include the identity of the accounts run by House of Marco together with the identity of the Marco family members running them.

EXCLUSIVE: RHONJ: Melissa Gorga GUILTY of Failing to Use Child Safety Restraint

melissa gorga courtWith all the rumors swirling around, this will confirm that Melissa Gorga was in fact a guest of Boonton Township Municipal Court!  Missy was charged with the following violations:

  • NJSA 39:3-76.2A – Failing to have proper safety restraint on child
  • NJSA 39:8-1 – Failing to have Vehicle Inspected
  • NJSA 39:3-33 Failure to properly display license plate
  • NJSA 39:3-29B Failure to have Registration 
  • NJSA 39:3-29C Failure to have Insurance Card 

On April 30, 2013, Missy appeared in Court for what was supposed to be a first appearance to enter a plea.  Due to the confrontation that Missy had with the police officer, the Prosecutor indicated that he could not amend or dismiss any violations.  Missy’s request to seal the record (so that it would not be available to the public) was rejected.

In an effort to do damage control, the Gorga team requested to plead Guilty and be done with the entire matter. So, on April 30, 2013, Defendant Melissa Gorga pled as follows:

  • GUILTY to Failing to have proper safety restraint on child
  • GUILTY to Failing to have Vehicle Inspected
  • GUILTY to Failure to properly display license plates

The remaining violations were dismissed with court costs assessed against Melissa since she produced a registration and an insurance card for the Prosecutor.

We look forward to Melissa Gorga’s explanation on how Teresa Giudice is responsible for her failure to use proper safety restraints for her child.

Exclusive: #RHONJ – Bryan Bowen Sets the Record Straight

Season 5Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 5 is scheduled to premier on June 2, 2013 and rumors are rampant.  Speculation is abound. Viewers want to know:

  • Will Teresa Giudice receive the “bad edit” yet again;
  • Will Melissa Gorga’s infidelities be exposed;
  • Will Jacqueline Laurita’s foreclosure and financial crisis be acknowledged;
  • Will Caroline Manzo stop breast feeding her adult children;
  • What Kim D event will be used as the backdrop for Season’s 5 “set up;”
  • Will Penny Drossos, Jennifer D and Elvira run for the hills when they see the crazy workings of RHONJ?
  • Will Kathy Wakile get a story line that doesn’t bore everyone to sleep?

So many questions and so much speculation. . .

One of the most anticipated questions revolve around Melissa Gorga’s infidelities. Various media outlets have opined that discussions of Melissa’s infidelities have been filmed.  There have been reports that Melissa’s ex-boyfriend, Bryan Bowen was included in the filming of Season 5.

On February 11, 2013, Radar OnLine reported that “a source close to the show” stated that while filming the December 3, 2012 Fashion Show, Penny Drossos telephoned Bryan Bowen regarding Melissa Gorga’s infidelities:

radar on line brian bulldog phone call

Anyone who knows Bryan Bowen or who follows him on twitter  (@Bulldog_NJ) for more than a New York minute knows that Bryan Bowen does not cower or go by an alias “Mike.” The Radar OnLine story as described by “the source close to the show” seemed contrived and unbelievable.

Express permission photo

So I asked Bryan if he would agree to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT to a very limited series of direct questions about Radar OnLine’s story and he agreed.  The following is my Exclusive interview with BRYAN BOWEN:

Faux: Bryan, did you talk to Penny Drossos on December 3, 2012 regarding Melissa Gorga?

Bryan: No, I didn’t talk to Penny or anyone else from the show about Melissa Gorga on December 3rd.

Faux: Have you ever been known as “Mike” on the show, and by show I mean Real Housewives of New Jersey?

Bryan: (smiles) Not that I know of.

Faux: So is Radar OnLine’s source incorrect when he or she stated that you were on a telephone call, known as Mike and you validated things regarding Melissa?

Bryan: The source was wrong.

Faux: Have you been contacted by Bravo or Production about Season 5? Okay, Okay, I withdraw the question, but you can’t blame me for trying. 

Thank you Bryan for setting the record straight. On behalf of viewers and your fans, we all look forward to you telling your story on Bravo or elsewhere.

END OF INTERVIEW

So how did Radar OnLine get the false information? The story sounded strikingly similar to the prior rantings of self professed “paid researcher” Chris Stark who claimed that she received a telephone call on December 19, 2012 about “Brian & Penny’s December 3, 2012 Phone Call”:

stark says someone called her about penny brian call

stark insists brian was on dec 3 phone call with penny

stark on why bryan is a victimStark has admitted to getting paid by Radar OnLine in the past:

stark admits she got paidSo if it walks like a Stark, and quacks like a Stark, chances are it’s a Stark.

If only Radar OnLine would have checked with Andy Cohen before paying Chris Stark for false information. . .

In the Life: The Story of Mob Royalty – Little Linda Scarpa

Growing up in an Italian neighborhood in Jersey City, NJ, I was fascinated by those ” In The Life” – the term used to describe the men who kept the neighborhood safe. Those men drove fancy cars, lived in amazing houses and their kids were treated like royalty by the locals. We knew who the wiseguys were, but not exactly what they did for a living, nor did we care. To us, they were our friends’ fathers or uncles who gave us money for ice cream, bought boxes of our girl scout cookies (and let us keep the cookies!!) and threw the most lavish parties for their kids.

linda scarpa and her dadDecades later, I have again become fascinated by a young woman who grew up “in the life” – Little Linda Scarpa, daughter of the late Greg Scarpa (Greg Scarpa was legendary in our neighborhood).

Linda Scarpa was one of kids that would have been treated like royalty in our neighborhood. Linda grew up privileged: parents who adored her, private schools, drivers, designer clothes and anything money could buy.

Fast forward to 2013, the young woman from the privileged past lost her father as she turned 25 years old. She was forced to reconcile the loving father with the stories of his “alternate” life wherein he played “judge, jury and executioner.”  The life, which surrounded her, while tragic, shaped Linda Scarpa into the woman she is today.

linda scarpaI Married A Mobster. She is currently writing her memoir as the daughter of the man feared by all wiseguys. In addition, Linda was just slated to star in an upcoming show entitled Boss Ladies.

So why does Linda Scarpa stand out among the wives, daughters, etc that have recently come under the spotlight?  It’s simple. . .

Linda is real. She tells it as it is – good, bad or otherwise. Whether Linda is interacting with a celebrity or the street sweeper, she treats people with the respect she deems they deserve – unaffected by financial status.

Anyone who follows Linda on twitter (@LindaScarpa) can readily see that she enjoys interacting with family, friends and fans. She has been and continues to be outspoken regarding the Mobwives Series – often questioning how “real” the “reality” show is.

Linda does not shy away from any question, but do not cross the line because her straight forward approach is never more evident than when Linda is schooling someone on proper respect. Linda uses words as her weapon of choice.

When a blogger sought to question Linda’s parent’s marital status, Linda shut the blogger down faster than “a speeding bullet.”  When a Mobwives groupie crossed the line regarding Linda’s family, Linda made it her mission to expose him for the fraud he turned out to be – she revealed that he faked being twitter “verified.” Shortly thereafter, he announced he was shutting down his account.

From Daddy’s privileged princess  . . . to the harsh family tragedies . . .

. . . Little Linda Scarpa . . . her star keeps rising.

StilettoGate: RHONJ Attended A Cage Match & A KIM D Party Broke Out

Jacqueline-has-had-enoughSome people never learn . . .

The blonde girl is always the first to get hacked up in horror films;

The guy wearing the red shirt is always killed on Star Trek; and

A brawl always breaks out at Kim D parties with Jacqueline Laurita at the center of the controversy. . .

. . . it’s as certain as paying taxes and death.

So let’s tell a tale, a tale of a Grand Opening and Kim D’s promise to Bravo to deliver with a little help from her friends . . .

Throughout filming of Season 5, Kim D continued to schedule “events” and invite her RHONJ “friends” because her orders were to sponsor events until “something of interest” was captured on film.

Kim D scheduled the Grand Opening of a second location for her store in Ridgewood, NJ.  The event was scheduled so quickly that Production failed to obtain the requisite permits and insurance (town retroactively issued one of the requisite permits the following day). It is unclear whether the landlord’s permission was necessary pursuant to the provisions of the lease. Furthermore, it is unclear whether the State provided the proper licensing for hair/waxing services (all of which were offered and captured on film).

In order to lure Penny Drossos (known as PDKhair) and her husband, John Karagiorgis (known as @JohnnyTheGrk) to the March 30, 2013 event, Joe Gorga and Richard Wakile spent the weeks preceding the event contacting @JohnnyTheGrk, offering to have their wives film with Penny and obtaining Karagiorgis’ commitment to attend the event (in order to publicly prove that any strife was behind them).  Production asked Karagiorgis to attend in writing, confirming same the evening of the event.

On March 30, 2013, the invited guests were permitted entry according to a pre-arranged time table. As invited guests, Penny Drossos and her girlfriend were escorted into the salon, John Karagiorgis and three remaining guests were told to wait outside for their cue (they along with other guests waited for over an hour).

Upon entry, Penny Drossos was immediately confronted by Jacqueline Laurita who in a span of minutes went from asking if they knew each other, to making accusations about her autistic son, to apologizing to Penny Drossos and bursting into tears. Surrounding guests were stunned!!

Production then ushered Penny Drossos to Teresa Giudice. When Teresa asked Penny Drossos to back her up that it was Penny who brought up Melissa’s past at a prior event (this Season), Penny Drossos reminded Teresa that it was Teresa and Kim D who asked Penny to confirm who Melissa’s ex was because of a phone call Juicy allegedly received.  [In fact, last year, Twitterland was abuzz when Pete Giudice & the Giudice Family confidante Frank "the plumber" Abbattisc tweeted about Melissa's alleged infidelities and compromising pictures from Cancun, etc.]

pete giudice cancun

pete giudice pathetic damn straight

pete giudice pathetic whore

As the drama among the housewives continued, furniture was rearranged, security moved into position and Jacqueline Laurita removed her shoes.  John Karagiorgis was cued to enter the salon and greet Joe Gorga, which Karagiorgis thought was in accordance with discussions he and Gorga had prior to filming. Instead of the friendly banter that Gorga had promised, Gorga turned purple with rage and was unable to “find his words” as soon as Karagiorgis greeted him.  Gorga erupted into a physical assault upon Mr. Karagiorgis. The Lauritas followed Gorga’s lead and Jacqueline Laurita ultimately attacked striking Karagiorgis in the head with the heel of her stiletto.

[Details of the brawl have been withheld - matter is subject of criminal investigation for indictment purposes]

Production refused to contact the police. Mr. Karagiorgis proceeded to the Ridgewood Police Department. While Karagiorgis was reporting the incident, Joe Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita and Chris Laurita ran home.

While at the Ridgewood Police Department, Mr. Karagiorgis’ demeanor was evaluated, he received medical attention, his injuries were documented and he was permitted to file the following charges:

  • Joe Gorga: assault and terroristic threats
  • Chris Laurita: assault and terroristic threats
  • Jacqueline Laurita: assault

On the following day, while Karagiorgios sought further medical attention, Joe Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita and Chris Laurita celebrated Easter with their families.

Classy Easter table March 31 day after fight

Shortly thereafter, Jacqueline Laurita commenced her all too familiar campaign of sending text messages (via cell phone) and direct messages (via tweeter) to Karagiorgios’ family members and friends and on twitter. Her messages ranged from insisting that she didn’t hit anyone with a shoe, to messages insisting that she “didn’t mean to hit” Mr. Karagiorgis.

On April 2, 2013, on World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), Jacqueline Laurita took the time to taunt an autism advocate by falsely alleging that the advocate wanted Jacqueline to keep her son “a secret.” Laurita knew her tweet was false and was fully aware that such a tweet would cause her fans to attack @RealityJulie.  People who knew @RealityJulie to be a true autism advocate were outraged by Jacqueline Laurita’s blatant disregard for the truth and the harm to Julie.

On Thursday, April 4, 2013, Joe Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita and Chris Laurita learned that they were charged with criminal complaints. The same day, they filed cross complaints against Karagiorgis.

Fortunately, the charges filed by Gorga and the Lauritas forced them to testify as to their version of the incident.  The testimony was predictable and inconsistent with the lapse in time from the brawl to reporting, etc. The unedited footage of the event has been demanded by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.

Contrary to Jacqueline Laurita’s advice to her daughter (when Ashlee assaulted Danielle Staub in Season 2), Jacqueline refuses to take responsibility for her actions.

There are so many unanswered questions:

  • Why would the Gorgas who claimed they have been stalked for “years” wait until they were charged to file cross complaints?
  • Why would Joe Gorga and his wife film with Penny Drossos less than a month earlier at Chakra in Paramus if they felt they were being stalked and cyberbullied?
  • Why would the Producers insist that Drossos and Karagiorgis attend Kim D’s event?
  • Why would Jacqueline Laurita send dozens of messages contradicting her Court testimony?
  • Why would Karagiorgis go to the Police and seek medical attention the night of the brawl if he was “on drugs” (as alleged by Jacqueline Laurita)?

Unlike Bravo, all unanswered questions will be answered courtesy of the Bergen County Judiciary.

#StilettoGate was coined by Autism Advocate and twitter personality extraordinaire @RealityJulie

Laurita’s Son is Center Stage in the Circus Formerly Known As RHONJ

Just when we thought Real Housewives of New Jersey couldn’t get any worse with their exploitation of children, it hits an all time low.

The Reality World and most of North Jersey is aware that on March 30, 2013, during Kim D’s Grand Opening of a second location, there was a physical altercation involving Johnny the Greek, Joe Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita and Chris Laurita.  The brawl resulted in personal injury and thousands of dollars in property damage.

gorga laurita

This article is about the diversionary strategy that is being employed by the alleged attackers to somehow justify their actions – they claim that Johnny the Greek mocked their young son. This is not the first time Nicholas is being used to justify his parent’s “bad conduct.” As poster Anon so aptly stated:

This is akin to “I swear on my son – who’s autistic!!!!!” at the Reunion. Disgusting – exploitation at it’s very worst.

It is unclear at this time whether the alleged comment about Laurita’s son were made the night of the grand opening, on social media, during the various behind the scenes maneuvering or one of the imaginary voices in Jacqueline Laurita’s head. What is clear, however, is that any alleged name calling does not justify assaulting someone (unlawful touching, whether it be with fists or shoe) and causing bodily injury and property damage.

Upon further investigation, it is interesting to note that the allegation that someone was “mocking Jacqueline Laurita’s autistic son” was first decreed by Melissa Gorga’s very own propaganda hate monger in August of 2012.  The Marcos and Gorga love encouraging House Of Marco to spew it’s inflammatory, outrageous lies. In fact, the Marcos/Gorgas thrive on it:

melissa answers queenz game on crop

In August 2012, House Of Marco hate monger falsely claimed that Teresa Giudice told Jacqueline that Dina Manzo said “Nick’s condition was Karma for Jacqueline.”

queenz story on teresa autism crop

At no time did Melissa Gorga, the Marco sisters, the Wakiles or Jacqueline Laurita (all followers of  the hate monger account) respond to the vile, disgusting allegation. The only person to respond swiftly and without hesitation was Dina Manzo:

queenz dina says queenz is piece of crap1

Fast forward to present day.  Jacqueline Laurita and Melissa Gorga have become very  close.  Both need to divert attention from the alleged mess that they call  their personal lives.

Jacqueline Laurita does not want Bravo to focus on Signature Apparel’s $55 million dollar bankruptcy and allegations that she and her husband embezzled millions of dollars, including a claim from the Komen Foundation.  Melissa Gorga does not want Bravo to focus on allegations of extramarital affairs, financial struggles and confirmation from Danielle Staub of Gorga’s underhanded tactics in worming her way on the show.

Laurita and Gorga have so much in common – both hate their successful, talented and universally popular sisters in law.

mergeTeresaMelisaDinaJax

Suddenly a vile disgusting rumor is resurrected, tweaked slightly to garner sympathy, whispered in their husbands’ ears – and BAM, you have a violate situation to top the mayhem that occurred at the Gorga Christening and the Danielle Staub assault.

What is clear is this: Neither the Village of Ridgewood, nor Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office are amused.

RHONJ Stark Raving Mad – Plugging Leaks & Defending It’s Talent

UPDATED APRIL 11, 2013

Twitter has exploded with  predictions and accusations about Season 5 of Real Housewives of New Jersey. In fact, predictions commenced even before the Season 4 reunion aired.

Season 5 photo in works

Season 5 filming is now under way. Bloggers (including the undersigned), tweeps and the little old lady at the Street Corner deli are talking about Season 5 stories even before the editing portion of Season 5 has begun.

If Bravo is serious about plugging the leaks, the solution is simple, swift and lethal. But if the leaks are simply a ploy to hype up the upcoming Season, then it’s critical to determine which leaks are reliable and which are thrown out by unreliable rakes.

Andy Cohen questioned the integrity of a notorious twitter “leaker” commonly known as Chris Stark @Stark3923:

andy cohen tweets against starkchris stark posted on her twitter March 3 cropOn February 22, 2013,  Chris Stark made serious allegations about Melissa Gorga’s ex boyfriend Bryan @Bulldog_NJ. She tweeted “Bryan aka Mike” was included in Season 5 through a phone call wherein he confirmed an affair with Melissa Gorga. Furthermore, Chris Stark tweeted that Bryan was “manipulative and deceptive.”

Since Bryan has not said anything of substance regarding his relationship with Melissa Gorga, I (thru Faux) questioned the basis of the tweets. The responses from Chris Stark were so shocking that I questioned whether her twitter account had been hacked.

Stark questioned why Bryan was on twitter if he was undergoing brain treatments for his tumor. An odd statement from a woman who never misses an opportunity to post her numerous maladies and tragedies (cancer, vehicle accidents, infections, stubbed toes, hang nails, etc.):

Stark on Brian

Upon further inquiry, Chris Stark claimed that she had inside information on Bryan’s “manipulative ways” because she was negotiating his contract:

stark says she negotiating for bulldogIt should be noted that on February 24, Chris Stark admitted that she never spoke to Bryan or his representatives.

stark says she never contacted bulldog

So how exactly was Chris Stark negotiating a contract for Bryan if she never spoke to him or his representatives?

Chris Stark admitted that despite Bryan’s refusal to cooperate, she sold a story on Bryan:

Chris Stark has admitted to selling stories to Radar on Line in the past – going as far as posting the Radar On Line check to her.  That is undisputed. She continues to insist that “the phone call” filmed in Season 5 is Bryan going by the name of “Mike” – the same story published several days ago by Radar On Line! So did Chris Stark “sell” this information to Radar On Line. If she sold the story to Radar On Line, is that why she cannot back away from the misleading information supplied to Radar?

Chris Stark claims that she labeled Bryan “manipulative” because she was unable to continue negotiating on his behalf.  When I tweeted that it was unprofessional and unethical for Chris Stark to question Byran’s integrity if in fact she was negotiating on his behalf (as his agent, employee or such), she responded that:

I am not a journalist: I am a freelancer and as such can “cross boundaries”

Chris Stark promptly deleted the aforementioned tweet.  My last tweet to her was to let her know that I found her actions to be despicable since she is purposely posting misleading information due to her perceived snub when Bryan refused to cooperate with her in negotiating a money deal for him.

Chris Stark has commenced a campaign, which in my opinion has crossed the line. What obligation does Byran have to make Chris Stark money? It is his story to tell, if and when he wants to tell it. If Chris Stark sold a story (or stories) about Bryan, he should seek legal remedies.

Aside from the precuniary motives driving Chris Stark, we have the ironic “reasons” for questioning Byran’s character:

  • Chris Stark questions how Bryan’s twitter photos ended up in magazines and blogs, when she is the first to lift photographs from other twitter accounts, put her @ stamp on them and post them on her twitter page.  The within blog has included photos of Bryan in it’s stories that it has obtained from Byran’s twitter feed.
  • Chris Stark questions Byran’s “appearance” on twitter, when Fame Whorga has  admitted that it “outed” @Bulldog_NJ  by post dated January 16, 2013.
  • Chris Stark repeatedly questions Bryan’s status as “victim” when the man has never claimed such status.
  • Chris Stark alleged that Bryan changed his name from Brian (still scratching my head on what that means).
  • Chris Stark refers to “an atomic phone call” which she conveniently takes out of context; those who follow Bryan know that Bryan was referring to the phone call that Melissa’s sister, Kim Pirrella made to his best friend to get Bryan “not to say anything!”

bulldog says kim called his friend

Chris Stark has jumped the shark with the postings on Bryan AND use of his private photographs. I would suggest Bryan retain counsel to determine his legal remedies if she “has a pot in which to pee” (doubtful, considering how desperate she is to sell other people’s stories).

STARK BETRAYS MEDIATOR ON A DEAL SHE SOUGHT  (updated March 2)

The within article was originally posted on February 25, 2013. Upon it’s posting, Chris Stark contacted Johnny the Greek and asked if he could intervene on her behalf and convince the undersigned to delete the within article and in exchange she would delete the private photographs and tweets relating to Bryan.

I reluctantly agreed – while I thought the compromise was fair, I did not trust Chris Stark because of the speed by which she embraced persons who she bashed less than 48 hours earlier.

True to form, on February 27, 2013, Chris Stark betrayed Johnny the Greek and published a series of text messages that she exchanged with him while brokering the deal. It is my opinion, that Chris Stark never intended to comply with any deal, but rather communicated with Johnny the Greek to bait him into making damaging statements.  It backfired. Chris Stark’s texts prove (1) the deeps of her instability; (2) the Greek’s committed attempts to broker a deal and restore peace; and (3) Stark was “pizzed” that she was cut out of any money deal with Bryan!

stark admits in text message

Chris Stark admitted that she is “going after Brian, he was always [her] target.”

stark text says Bryan is target

Stark’s texts also included one in which she threatened that if she hears “one more time that poor Bryan is innocent, she will expose “Faux” as “Erica”:

stark threatens to expose erica

So to Stark, I say “Brain is innocent; Brian is innocent; Brian is innocent; Brian is innocent.” As far as exposing Faux as Erica, I’m not Erica, but Stark saw fit to post the woman’s full name, facebook account address, home address, partial telephone number, and other private information. Chris Stark also admitted to having called Erica’s grandmother. Make no mistake about it, if Chris Ann Stark Iten had released private information on me or contacted my (deceased) grandparents, the St. George Utah Police would be fingerprinting her.

In yet another bizarre twist, Chris Stark provided her third version of her relationship with Bryan. First she claimed she was negotiating a money contract for him. Then as set forth herein above she admitted she never spoke to Bryan. Today, March 6, 2013, Chris Stark alleged that she proofed articles that he then sold to tabloids. We can only imagine what tomorrow will bring.

On March 4, 2013, Chris Stark stated that she receives inside information from Teresa Giudice directly:

stark says teresa told her stalking

Call me a doubting Thomas (Penelope Erica), but I doubt Teresa (or anyone else for that matter) would jeopardize their contracts by confiding in Chris Stark after her display of unethical and unprofessional conduct.

STARK LIES ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATIONS  (updated April 11)

Just when we thought Stark would stop spewing lies about RHONJ and those calling her out, she has hit an all time low. On April 10, 2013, Stark alleged that she was contacted by “authorities” regarding an investigation and that she provided information to them. Stark then identified Faux Reality Entertainment and Erica (Eryca) as the subject of the investigation.

stark on faux investigation crop she cooperated

stark on faux investigation crop

These allegations were then reported by Edward William Brophy (known as @MediaWhorEd), It reported that “the County in which the blogger lives” is investigating and has issued subpoena.” 

STARK & BROPHY ARE LIARS: Anyone with a fundamental understanding of law enforcement investigations is fully aware that a witness is told under penalty of criminal contempt that they are not to disclose the existence of an investigation. If Stark had been contacted, if she turned over documents or if she knew basic tenants of criminal law, she would not have taken to twitter- An investigation cannot be disclosed by a witness.

In addition, the County where I reside couldn’t do any investigation since I am related to an official at the County.  This is simply the gruesome threesome spinning and deflecting:

stark ed queenz

Stark admitted that she is not is not a journalist and as such is not entitled to shield law protection of her souce(s). If Bravo or Andy Cohen are serious about plugging the leaks, all they need do is demand to know Chris Stark’s sources. I doubt she has any such sources, since she seems to lift information from twitter and other blogs, and call them her own. But the option remains with Bravo whether she should be called on her latest round of contradictions, misstatements and outright lies.

EXCLUSIVE: Life & Style Magazine – Melissa Gorga’s Image Shows Cracks

Since Melissa Marco Gorga was first introduced to the viewers of Real Housewives Of New Jersey, she has worked relentlessly to create an image of the perfect wife and the perfect mother with the perfect life.

The February 25, 2013 edition of Life & Style Magazine reports that Melissa Gorga’s perfect life is crumbling . . .

In Touch Story Melissa does not want

and Melissa is “scrambling to save the image of her ‘perfect marriage.’”

Melissa expected Season 5 would concentrate on her “blossoming” music career.  But it appears that the dream is quickly turning into a nightmare that Missy never anticipated.  Not only has her music career tanked, but the image of her perfect marriage has hit a Titanic size iceberg.

shamlsLife & Style Magazine questions whether the Gorga’s “love at first sight” story is ALL A SHAM.  The story seems to have been created without much forethought since Melissa’s past is coming out to contradict her head on.

“The only reason she [Missy] went with Joe is because Bulldog didn’t want to settle down. . .”

Scenes filmed on January 31, 2013 for Season 5 have opened the door for a very rocky road for the image created by Melissa Gorga.  As the “wholesome image” crumbles, where oh where does Melissa turn?

The Marco camp spin machine seem to be relying heavily on viewer sympathy, “why ruin the reputation of a wife and mother?” Yet, it is Missy who attempted to build on the “wholesome girl victimized by evil sister in law Teresa Giudice.”

Who can forget Joey Gorga’s Reunion declaration that he followed his father’s advice and picked a girl that “walks a straight line.” Well, it appears that the only walk Missy has done is a walk of shame.  

melissa

Hopefully Papa Gorga will counsel Joey Gorga on what to do about the latest allegations of Melissa Gorga’s infidelity.

kim and melissaSources confirm that Kim D “smiles” and plays one cast mate against the other as she peddles her merchandise. Kim D banks on the fact that no one is talking to each other so her treachery is safe for the time being.

pennyWhen Kim D was unable to deliver, Penny Drossos-Karagiorgis was summoned to the rescue. According to Life & Style, “Penny is Bringing the Drama.”

Until recently, it was unclear whether Penny DK would appear on Season 5 since she refused to be Kim D’s side kick.

Life & Style reports that Penny DK will appear in Season 5.  As a successful salon owner and friend of Teresa Giudice, Penny DK has much in common with Teresa. Furthermore, Penny DK was able to answer many of the yet unanswered questions about Melissa’s past.

Inside sources confirm that Penny’s responses to questions regarding Missy’s past will not be evasive or vague.

EXCLUSIVE: Bryan Bowen Courted By Numerous Media Outlets

bryan bowen

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 9, 2013

Several weeks ago, twitter exploded when Fame Whorgas identified Bryan Bowen as Melissa Gorga’s ex boyfriend. Within minutes, Melissa’s camp attacked Mr Bowen with vile comments about his recent brain surgery. Bowen responded by wishing them well in their endeavors, maintaining his composure, never stooping to their level.

An inside source close to Mr. Bowen has advised that Mr. Bowen is being bombarded with requests to tell details of his and his family’s dealings with Melissa Marco Gorga and the Marco Family.

While initially resisting such requests, the inside source stated:

“Bro thought they were joking. Then her and her family started in on him opening their mouths. He’s not lookin’ to hurt her. But the truth is the truth and seems psycho forgot he knows it.”

When asked who “they” were, the inside source identified “they” as various media outlets that have already offered to provide Mr. Bowen with a platform to tell his story.  When asked to clarify who “psycho” was, the inside source responded “that’s Melissa Marco, she’s psycho girl. We used to call her fatal attraction girl”.

Mr. Bowen has revealed some of Melissa’s bizarre behavior during their relationship in recent tweets. He tweeted that his father threw Melissa out of their home after an 8 months stint when Melissa moved in to the Bowen family home. Donna Marco, Melissa’s mother immediately apologized to Bowen’s father so there was no need for police intervention.

Mr. Bowen detailed some of Melissa’s obsessive behavior indicating that Melissa went thru his parent’s mail, tried to hit him with a vehicle and would hide in the bushes.

Mr. Bowen further tweeted that one evening Melissa gave him an ultimatum or she “would marry the millionaire.” According to Mr. Bowen’s tweet, Melissa was married to Joey Gorga 3 months later.  Bowen also tweeted that Melissa continued to wear a cross pendant that he had purchased for her.  This puts a serious crimp in Melissa’s “love at first sight happily ever after” story.

It appears that Mr. Bowen has ignored Melissa’s sister’s telephone call to his friend and tweets requesting that he stop making public statements.

With the scintillating tidbits that Mr. Bowen has disclosed on twitter, it is no wonder that the media frenzy to get the details of the volatile Bowen / Melissa Macro relationship has begun.

bulldog pic 2 crop

Our inside source has indicated that Mr. Bowen is close to making a decision on the Media outlet that will get the REAL and UNCENSORED story regarding Real Housewife of New Jersey Melissa Marco Gorga.

melissa on nj giudo crop

As we sit and wait for the great reveal, we wonder how Melissa Marco is handling the unraveling of her most guarded secrets.

It appears that Melissa Marco is terribly concerned about what Bryan intends to say because she has vocalized her support for those posting the most vile attacks against him.

melissa answers queenz game on cropOur inside source has advised that Mr. Bowen is in the final stages of a deal with a media outlet for a tell all on all aspects of his relationship with Melissa Marco Gorga. Perhaps Missy shouldn’t have issued such a public challenge because it appears that her challenge will be met.

Sandy Relief: Time to Help JR’s Ocean Bar & Grill

The power of twitter has recently brought us someone from Melissa Gorga’s past, Bryan known as @bulldog_nj. Byran has been attacked, ridiculed and tormented by the Macro clan for just existing. His response to these unwarranted attacks has been to explain that he owns his past and he looks forward to his future.

Throughout the twitter storm, Bryan has asked for nothing. In fact, while being attacked, he mentioned that his friend JR’s Ocean Bar & Grill lost everything during Storm Sandy.

jr ocean bar

So while we may not be able to stop the attacks on Bryan, Faux Reality Entertainment wants to help in a constructive way. We have contacted JR’s Ocean Bar & Grill and seek to coordinate any assistance, financial or otherwise that we can provide. We ask our readers do the same. We will post the information as soon as we receive same from JR Ocean Bar & Grill, located in Seaside Heights, NJ.

Gorga: Shirtless Man in Hotel Room with Joey Gorga Revealed

Joey Gorga’s tweets are often strange and difficult to follow since he posts like a horny teenager. He never fails to surpass his bizarre behavior.

78_joe-gorga-dancing_sm

Last week was no exception.  On or about Saturday, January 19, 2013, Melissa Gorga posted that she and Joey were dining with friends.  The photograph is interesting in that Melissa made no attempt to get close to “the love of her life.”

Joey Melissa with sergio and lisa

At 1:30 am that evening, Joey Gorga tweeted the following:

joey gorga and shirt less manWho was the shirtless man, what was he doing in a hotel room at 1:30 am with Joey Gorga and why was Joey asking his tweeter followers what they thought of “his boys [sic] body”?

Yesterday, Joey Gorga posted a photo with shirtless man stating that “life is good”

joey gorga shirtless sergio life is goodIn the photo are Melissa Gorga’s mother’s boyfriend, Melissa’s Brother in law Scott Simpson and shirtless man. The “women” took a separate photo:

We know that the Gorgas crave publicity and we wouldn’t put it past them to use the Kim Z and Danielle Staub trick of feigning a same sex relationship to please the network.

Shirtless man’s wife has a twitter acct that sent 7 tweets since August, 2012, all tweets are about their encounters with the Gorgas. Nevertheless, shirtless man seems to have become attached to Joey Gorga as of late.

A source close to Joey Gorga has revealed that shirtless man is Sergio Roberti. His wife’s name is Lisa and they have become “close” to the Gorgas as of late.

A Miami Love Story: I Will Love You Until . . .

“I will love you until the day after forever . . . ”

Joanna-Krupa-Romain-Zago-Real-Housewives-of-Miami-engaged-RHOM-break-up-cheating-640x407

What happens when the Sexiest Top Model in the World falls in love with the handsome owner of the top nightclub in South Beach? For Joanna Krupa and Romain Zago . . . Fireworks!

joanna_krupa_by_somalo_crop nameJoanna Krupa provides viewers with an interesting prospective into the life of a self-made career woman.  RHOM depicts Joanna’s struggle to balance the demands of her professional career with her personal life.  As a stunning model and philanthropist, there seems to be little time for her fiancé.

Joanna is not only a top model and animal rights activist, the multi-talented Polish beauty is also an advocate for children, an actress, a TV host and a poker enthusiast. She is a recurring guest on Fox Business Channel and CNN HDL .  In fact, Joanna’s biography lists an endless stream of professional accomplishments.

romain zago portraitRomain Zago is the owner of one of the most exclusive night clubs in Miami, Mynt Lounge.  RHOM viewers observe as Romain operates a demanding business while coping with a high octane and volatile relationship.

Romain was born in France, raised in Brazil and now calls the United States his home. His meteoric rise from manager to owner culminated in a milestone celebration in 2012 – the ten year anniversary of Mynt Lounge.

Joanna and Romain survived a season of disturbing emails, tattling phone calls and MMA type dinner parties.  After viewing the tumultuous relationship, viewers cheered as Romain renewed his proposal to Joanna in the Finale . . . rose petals, tears, and heartfelt vows . . .

                . . .  And they lived happily ever after   . . .  NOT SO FAST . . .

The Fireworks continued even after the show ended as fans were mesmerized by what would happen.

joanna breaks upShortly after the airing of the RHOM Finale, Joanna announced that she had broken the engagement. She immediately removed any trace of photographs with Romain from her twitter account. Romain celebrated his Birthday party at Mynt Lounge sans Joanna.  The couple, who actively interacted on a daily basis with fans on twitter, all but disappeared.

Viewers felt the agony of the broken relationship as it permeated their respective twitter accounts. Was the relationship salvageable; would the power couple survive the storm; how would (or could) they mend broken hearts?

krupa broken heart

So what would the affluent nightclub owner do? Impress his lady with diamonds . . . a car . . . an exotic vacation? No No No.

Romain knew that Joanna would not be impressed by expensive gifts.  Big love and a big break up require a grand gesture so Romain called in the Big Gun.

jolanta krupa

Jolanta Krupa!

Knowing how much Joanna admires her mother, it was clear who would be the voice of reason.  Game on. Would Jolanta pick up the gauntlet and get RHOM’s power couple back together?

“I’ll love you until the day after forever” said the Prince to his Princess. Not long after Jolanta’s intervention, Romain and Joanna were seen on the beach. From the looks of it, it appears that the tears are behind them.

5 krupa

Shortly thereafter, twitter was flooded with congratulatory tweets, asking when and where the wedding would be.

With the introduction of the New Year, Mynt Lounge was the setting for a spectacular celebration as the Miami Love Story continues  . . .

Krupa new years

We look forward to the broadcast of the wedding of the Power Couple that has captivated viewers of RHOM.

Exclusive RHONJ: Jewelry Launch or Cage Fight at Il Tulipano

EXCLUSIVE – Season 5 Filming

On January 18, 2013, RHONJ filmed the launch for Kim DePaolo’s Jewelry Line at Il Tulipano in Cedar Grove. . . Cuffs by Kim D. The event will be part of the much anticipated Season 5.

Since Kim D’s 2012 Annual Fashion Show was uneventful, it was imperative to assemble the cast for a dynamic event.  What better way then to utilize Kim D’s expert skills at causing mayhem.

all 450

Kim D enticed Teresa Giudice into attending the Launch by insisting that Fabellini wine and accessories would be prominently displayed and marketed throughout the evening.

fabellini products

Teresa was accompanied by her in laws, Peter & Sheila Giudice and her friend, Priscilla DiStasio.

Also present were Caroline Manzo, Rosie Pierri, Melissa and Joey Gorga.  It is unclear if Kathy Wakile attended the party since, even when Kathy attends an event, her contribution is minimal and rather forgettable.

rosie with caroline in backgroundRosie Pierri was her lovable unsophisticated self in her cardigan sweater as she tried on leather cuffs. Carolina Manzo can be seen over Rosie’s shoulder, preaching to an unsuspecting attendee.

The evening would not have been complete without the requisite beat on Teresa Giudice fest.

A source who attended the launch party confirmed to Faux Reality that as Kim D stood by, Theresa Giudice was confronted by her brother, Joey Gorga who berated his sister for the cameras and the amusement of the other attendees.  Joey Gorga had been released from the hospital earlier in the week.  Not to be outdone, Caroline Manzo could not pass up an opportunity to “add her 2 cents” by telling Teresa that she was responsible for all that is wrong in the world.

It appears that as Season 5 continues to film, Faux Reality’s prediction that Kim D is only out for Kim D is coming to fruition.

As Kim D offers the viewers a cupcake, Teresa Giudice continues to battle the wolves thrust upon her by Bravo.

PS: All desserts were safe for human consumption.  Fortunately, Kathy Wakile did not have to break out her Easy Bake Oven.

Copyright Infringement & It’s Chilling Effect On Bloggers

SkyIsFalling

Last week twitter was a flutter with news that a New Jersey based media group filed a lawsuit against a hobby blog for images it posted depicting house parties of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Suddenly bloggers were scrabbling to review their blogs to determine what was permitted and not permitted to post.

What was the law on copyright infringement? Were they violating the law? Why would a media group go to such lengths to target a reality tv blogger? Who would be next?

stolen from

One blog commenced posting images with the logo “Stolen From ____” in order to give credit to the image origins.

Another blog indicated it would no longer utilize images so as not to be forced to maneuver thru the maze of copyright laws.

Most surprising was the reaction of one Bravo personality who responded as follows:

wakile on bloggers

Since the lawsuit was a dispute over images, it is unclear to what Rich Wakile referred when he expressed his hope for “the TRUTH.”  Considering his repeated role as a Defendant, Wakile’s tweet was absurd – Bless His Heart.

So the question that Faux Reality seeks to answer is: Under what circumstances can bloggers post images? This article is not intended to render legal advice nor should it be relied upon as a legal interpretation. But rather a layperson’s interpretation of the law and cases reviewed herein.

On or about June 13, 2012, North Jersey Media Group filed a complaint against a blogger and reporter by the name of Victor Sasson (hereinafter “Sasson”). The suit alleged that Sasson violated copyright laws by using images and stories that were initially published in the Bergen Record on his blog. Complaint, North Jersey Media Group vs Victor Sasson Docket No. 2:12-cv-03568.

On January 4, 2013, the Court dismissed Three of the Four Counts of the  Complaint. After a thorough analysis of the Complaint, the Court found that North Jersey Media could not claim copyright infringement BEFORE it obtained a Certificate of Copyright Registration from the United States Copyright Office. The Court concluded that applying for a certificate is not enough to prove a case for copyright infringement, the Certificate must be issued to maintain a case. The only remaining count in the Complaint is Sasson‘s use of the iconic September 11 photograph of Firefighters raising the U.S. flag at the World Trade Center.

Thus, North Jersey Media is fully aware that if it does not possess a Certificate of Copyright Registration issued by the United States Copyright Office on the date images are posted on a blog, it cannot maintain a cause of action for copyright infringement.

So hypothetically:

  • On April 22, 2012, Real Housewives of New Jersey hosts various events;
  • On April 23, 2012, blog posts images;
  • On or about June 30, 2012, Big Bad Media acquires rights to photographs from various photographers;
  • On or about July 20, 2012, Big Bad Media applies for copyright registration certificates;
  • On December 4, 2012, Big Bad Media is issued Certificates for some, but not all images (while others remain pending).

In the above hypothetical situation, Big Bad Media Group cannot maintain a prima facie case of copyright infringement for postings until AFTER December 4, 2012 for those images in which certificates have been registered. In fact, in the above hypothetical Big Bad Media didn’t even own the rights to the photographs until June 30, 2012.

Therefore, any blog who posted the images before December 4, 2012 has not violated copyright laws pursuant to the Decision of the Court in North Jersey Media Group vs. Sasson.

Gorga: The Art of The Game – House Of Marco And FollowGate

followers greg twitter

FollowGate: This post is intended to explain the lengths by which the House of Marco hate mongers will go to shut down any attempts to reveal their underhanded despicable tactics. Don’t Cry for Me Team Teresa . . . (music by  Evita) because I am fully capable of dealing with the likes of delusional fanatics. If Teresa can handle ambush upon ambush, I can deal with a handful of recurring hate mongers with too much time on their hands.

On June 28, 2012, I created a twitter account called Greg’s Loose Hole.  The account was intended to be a Parody that would interact with fans and personalities of Reality TV.

I chose the name @GregsLooseHole (hereinafter “GLH”) because it was center stage on Real Housewives of New Jersey. Greg is the snarky side kick of the Manzo Brothers.  The name has a dual meaning, it implies that:

  • Greg’s mouth is loose and chatty so secrets will be revealed; and/or
  • Greg’s posterior is speaking and dishing all the dirt.

I created Faux Reality Entertainment (hereinafter Faux Reality) to provide a forum for articles and discussion. I was inspired and encouraged by an incredible professional writer for whom I will always be grateful. Rather than be just another Housewife blog, I sought to fill a void and concentrate on legal issues explained in a format for non professionals.

WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF MARCO

GLH and Faux Reality published information regarding the Families Gorga, Laurita, Manzo and Wakile.  Shortly after I began to publish, supporters of Melissa Gorga and the Marco sisters (hereinafter referred to as The House Of Marco) commenced  attacks not only over issues involving Teresa Giudice, but also her supporters.  The House of Marco spewed misinformation while attacking anyone who mentioned that they supported Teresa. Their list of victims is endless.  The House of Marco hate mongers attack and when Tre supporters respond, the hate mongers call them bigots, homophobes and racists.

GREG’S LOOSE HOLE MEETS QUEENZ OF MEDIA

On August 9, 2012, a day that will live in infamy, I, thru GLH, attempted to correct a twitter poster that insisted that Joe Giudice had been found guilty of criminal bankruptcy fraud during the course of the legal proceedings. Such was not the case – EVER. It was clear that there was a basic misunderstanding of civil vs. criminal law.  Furthermore while my knowledge came from legal documents, the poster admitted that it’s knowledge was based on “the show.”  The following is the relevant portions of the actual exchange:

apostjuicy

bpostjuicy

cpostjuicy

dpostjuicy

This was my first encounter with the twitter handle of @QueenzOfMedia. The response was to ask minions to report the GLH account in order to have the account suspended. 

queenz wants reports2

What I didn’t know at the time was that Queens Of Media claimed to operate a show, which show was hosted and run by a hustler and admitted prostitute by the name of SkylerStCoxx (note the deviations in spelling and aliases).

skylar queenz of media

What I also didn’t know at the time was that @QueenzOfMedia was intimately aligned with at least one of the Marco sisters.

When I, thru GLH asked the Marco sister how she could endorse and/or align herself with an admitted prostitute, her response was “I make no judgement of what others do to survive.”

Shortly thereafter, Melissa Gorga gave an interview to SkylerStCoxx of Queenz Of Media – the first internet broadcast in over a year. It was odd that a site that claims to be “ground breaking” radio program had failed to produce a show in over a year.

skylar queenz of media interviews melissa

It was comical that while Melissa Gorga feigned horror at Teresa Giudice’s use of the Cword, Melissa and her sister promoted a prostitute who conducts regular “C**t Awards”  which are awarded to Team Teresa and refers to Teresa Giudice in the most offense manner.  The hate mongers throw out the Cword to shock and awe all who disagree:

Cunt award for lysaWhile GLH and Faux Reality continued to tweet and publish stories regarding Melissa Marco Gorga and the Marco sisters, the House of Marco (led by @QueensOfMedia) continued ad hominem attacks, not just on GLH, but any fan of Teresa Giudice.  Those attacks escalated to the point where House of Marco hovered over twitter timelines and “alerted” GLH followers that I was a “homophobe, bigot, racist.” Despite blocking these hate monger, the stalking continued and the attacks escalated.

Twitter 101 and FollowGate

For those unfamiliar with twitter, here is a crash course Twitter 101: Each account has “Followers” (people that follow you) and “Following” (people that you follow).  So an account can choose to follow as many people as they want.

Upon realizing that the House of Marco hate mongers were vulgar and quick to report in order to suspend accounts, I immediately block them. Thus, they cannot see the GLH account from their main accounts. Unfortunately, they continue to create new accounts in order to stalk timelines.

As of November 2012, GLH boasted approximately 1000 “followers” and approximately 5o people that it followed (“Following”). I was proud of the number of followers and was congratulated for said numbers. GLH was less than 5 months old and had that many followers.

On November 16, 2012, overnight, GLH gained 147 new “following” members. In order to increase the number of people that GLH follows,  it must physically click to follow the person while signed into my account. The problem was I never chose to follow these additional 147 people, so the GLH account must have been accessed for that to occur. Twitter Support advised that I should immediately change my password and delete the people that I did not seek to follow.  Mind you, my “following” numbers were increased, but not the number of “followers” (accounts who follow me). Upon information and belief, there would be no reason to buy people to follow because I could click to follow as many people as I chose.

On December 30, 2012, while attending a NY Giants game, GLH gained 1212 followers. Perhaps such a jump would be normal for the likes of Lady GaGa or Kim Kardashian, but certainly not for a parody account. What was interesting to note is that before I even returned from the game, House of Marco hate monger @QueenzOfMedia was declaring that “GregsLooseHole” buys followers. Furthermore, @QueenzOfMedia conveniently had screen shots of the GLH page from the day before the mega increase to compare the numbers – coincidence or planned? Throughout the week proceeding the game, I tweeted that I would be attending the Giants game.

Twitter Support advised that the account should be locked down pending further contact. Unfortunately lock down mode restricts the ability to reach a wide audience and restricts others from retweeting what GLH posts. Those restrictions hindered the ability to encourage people to respond or to visit the Faux Reality site.

The House of Marco were dancing with glee that GLH (and by association Faux Reality) had allegedly lost it’s credibility if it needed to purchase followers.

Contrary to the recommendation of Twitter, I sought to unlock the GLH when I was on line because I felt that I could monitor any further issues.  I would lock down the account if at work or if the account was unattended. When the account was unlocked, I continued to obtain unusually high followers who I was able to block so that the numbers of followers did not skyrocket. I maintained snap shots of all those who attempted to follow and forwarded those shots to Twitter Support.

Earlier today, while the account was unlocked, I was in a heated exchange with an individual (prodded by the House of Marco hate monger). While I chatted with the individual, my followers skyrocketed by 1200 followers.

The account was locked down immediately, another ticket was submitted to Twitter Support. The same cast of merry House of Marco hate mongers were swinging from the rafters that GLH (and by association Faux Reality) lacked credibility, thus potentially placing into question information posted about Manzo, Wakile, Laurita and Gorga. Interesting to note, @QueenzOfMedia tweeted a great deal of knowledge about applications that are employed to purchase followers. Suddenly a prostitute who accepts money for sex was appalled that there was a potential infraction concerning the purchase of followers.  How convenient and how absurd that after being under a microscope by the House of Marco hate mongers for allegedly purchasing followers, I would do it again.

GLH did not purchase a single follower. Nor did anyone that I know purchase followers on behalf of GLH. It is clear that the 2,000 some odd follower increase is artificial. Whether the jump was done to discredit GLH or to slip some of the House of Marco hate monger’s troll accounts in during the influx of followers remains to be seen.

I am a legal researcher by trade. I hope that if the followers were purchased and the company can be traced, I will take whatever action, legal if necessary, to force the company to provide the email and payment information of the individual who purchased the followers. I am still unclear as to how followers were increased without disclosure of my email address.  The investigation continues but it was imperative that I respond to the inquiries regarding FollowGate.

Greg’s Loose Hole now has 1891 of the same followers as Melissa Gorga and 1724 of the same followers as Greg Bennett.

Editor’s Letter to House Of Marco Hate Monger:

[Typical Queenz manipulation, Queenz tweeted that I admitted in the within blog to purchasing followers  - Queenz hopes it's minions are either too lazy to read for themselves or illiterate]

GLH admitted purchase

 

[Typical Queenz manipulation, it attempts to explain seeking to report GLH, by alleging that on August 9, 2012, it sought to report GLH because I had Zero followers - Once again rewriting history to justify it's twisted conduct] On August 9, 2012, I had 296 followers, with 5 new followers that day.

followers as of August 9 cropped

Dear http://skylerstcoxx.com (@QueenzOfMedia) let me translate this post since you seem unable to comprehend that I never admitted to purchasing followers.

I did not buy followers. I never sanctioned anyone to buy followers on my behalf. I don’t give credence in anything an admitted prostitute has to say. You are an abomination. You have been proven a liar over and over and over again. The following are some, but certainly not all examples, of your duplicity:

You posted that Andy Cohen spoke negatively of Teresa’s fans-LIE. Mr. Cohen denied it outright and you in turn accused him of deleting the tweet.

  • queenz and andy
  • andys response

You posted that Dina Manzo said her brother was given an autistic child because of Karma -LIE. Dina Manzo called you a piece of cra

  • queenz dina says queenz is piece of crap1
  • You stated that Dina’s comments about her Brother’s Child would be discussed at Reunion 4-LIAR LIAR forever planting seeds of hate and dissension.
  • queenz story on teresa autism
  • You posted that the Laurita “BUSINESS Bankruptcy was granted”-LIE  The Business Bankruptcy continues and has cased the filing of over 20 additional cases, including cases against the Laurita Family, individually and personally. 
  • queens says jac bankruptcy granted
  • You said GregsLooseHole was run by Johnny The Greek, then months later a woman named Nikki, then a woman named Susan Smith, then a woman with “super shady past with kids” – LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE
  • queenz says I'm johnny
  • queenz i am johnny
  • queenz explains loosy and PDK
  • queenz christie loose woman with kids

You said that a Giudice family friend told u that neither JohnnyTheGreek nor Penny would be on #RHONJ – LIE This again was said to cause dissension and discord between people

  • queenz greek about frank bigotted pig

The language you use, the manner you attempt to intimidate, the way you manipulate is nothing short of diabolical. The way you love to pit one person against another for your amusement is sick. The names you use are disgusting.

queenz calls cunt

Taunting a mother AND a teenager about her cancer is depraved indifference and reckless disregard for any semblance of decency. In New Jersey, legislation has been passed making such conduct criminal.

QueenzCancerMerger

When the young woman blocked you, you sent a message to a mutual friend confirming that to further torment her you would photograph your rat dog desecrating a grave by peeing on it and send her the photographs. The disgusting tweet was copied to @LaurenCrzyMom, the cancer victim’s “mother figure” who you also tormented by posting personal and hurtful information. Your twisted comments are reminiscent of “Precious the Poodle” from Silence of the Lambs.

queenz poodle pee

You believe you have the right to say anything, no matter how disgusting or despicable, yet when someone responds in like, you hide behind words like homophobic, bigot and racist.  Being disgusted by a prostitute with multiple pornographic websites peddling sex for money does not make the person homophobic, a bigot or racist. It shows that the person’s moral compass is functioning properly.

Do you know the truth? I do. You are a lying tax evading truck stop hooker with no moral compass who lives on twitter because you are an abomination in the real world. Do you realize how many emails I have received detailing what despicable atrocities you have committed and how you are hated? Countless! 

If you believe the hate that you spew, you are a danger to society and to yourself.

Federal Court Fast on the Heels of Laurita Family

jacqueline dec 21While pretending that everything is just fine this Christmas, the Federal Court sent the Laurita family an interesting greeting just in time for Christmas.

The Scheduling Order was entered on the docket of the Federal Bankruptcy / Adversary Proceeding case on December 21, 2012.

The new scheduling order amended deadline dates to tie into the Court’s decision on the following motions:

  • Signature filed a motion for leave to file an Amended Complaint;
  • Studio Holdings filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Third Party Complaint of ROC Fashions;
  • ROC Fashions filed a motion for leave to file a Second Amended Third Party Complaint;
  • Studio Holdings intends to file a motion to disqualify attorneys for Signature Apparel;
  • Signature Apparel has advised that it may file a motion to disqualify attorneys for Studio Holdings.

All motions and contemplated motions shall be argued on March 14, 2013. Until motions are decided all depositions are suspended, however, documentary discovery shall proceed pursuant to the following schedule:

  • Fact discovery will be completed within 60 days of Court’s final dispositions on Motions;
  • Expert disclosures will be completed within 67 days of Court’s final disposition on Motions;
  • Affirmative expert reports shall be completed within 105 days of Court’s final disposition on Motions;
  • Reply expert reports shall be completed within 135 days of Court’s final disposition of Motions;
  • Expert depositions shall be completed within 165 days of Court’s final disposition of Motions;
  • Summary Judgment motions shall be filed within 45 days of completion of expert discovery;
  • Signature’s Motion for leave to file an Amended Complaint shall be heard on March 14, 2013;
  • Lauritas’ Answer to the Amended Complaint shall be filed 21 days after the Court grants leave to file the Amended Complaint.

It appears that the dates may run during filming for Season 5. It will be interesting to see if the Lauritas’ court dates or appointments with attorneys are caught on tape. If the Housewife franchise is supposed to reflect the reality of their lives, surely the Lauritas’ court fiasco must play a part of the show.

Laurita Defendants Deal with Legal Set Back in Federal Court

On November 26, 2012, the U.S. Trustee (“Responsible Person”) in charge for Signature Apparel filed a Motion to Amend the Complaint against Defendants Lauritas, individually. The allegations are another blow to Mommy of the Year and her Shady Businessman husband.

The Declaration of Counsel in Support of the Motion to Amend the Complaint details the alleged deceit of Chris Laurita and his counsel in attempting to hide assets from the Bankruptcy Court. This alleged deceit began to unravel with production of documents and email by Third Persons that were served with Subpoena.

Specifically, the Lauritas filed Schedules and a Statement of Financial Affairs with the Bankruptcy Court where they failed to disclose licensing agreements (for manufacturing and distribution of goods) with Rocawear and Iconix. Paragraph 6 of Declaration

The Trustee seeks to amend the Complaint based upon  the incomplete and/or what “appear to have been false” statements made by Lauritas.

The Court was advised of counsel for Lauritas’ deliberate delay in producing documents:

Notably, counsel for the Laurita Defendants attempted to delay production of documents to the “Responsible Person”, taking the position that the Laurita brothers’ permission was required prior to the production . . . This position was puzzling, given that the “Responsible Person” previously had received similar productions . . . At no previous time was the prior permission of the Laurita brothers deemed necessary . . .

Paragraph 16 of Declaration.

  • On June 29, 2012, the Trustee received further confirmation that Signature Apparel’s former counsel was withholding documents.   Signature’s former counsel took the following contradictory positions:
  • At first, counsel stated it never represented the Lauritas or any entities owned or controlled by the Lauritas other than Signature;
  • On April 5, 2012, counsel stated “it had done some corporate related work for Chris Laurita” but that it had “nothing to do with Signature;”

On April 24, 2012, former counsel produced the much anticipated Notice of Default for the licensing agreement.  Contrary to Lauritas’ counsel statements, prior counsel still withheld documents.

While Creditors were owed in excess of $55 million dollars, the Lauritas sought to drain Signature Apparel so as to deprive creditors by financially benefiting the Laurita Brothers.

Little Boy Joe Francis Invokes the 5th Amendment

It appears that Joe Francis is once again the focus of legal drama. If the Federal Criminal Matter and the Vegas Mogul case weren’t bad enough:

On November 26, 2012, while testifying about his assets, Joe Francis invoked the Constitutional Right against Self Incrimination on more than 50 occasions. It appears that Francis is concerned that the IRS may be less than thrilled with the manner in which his taxable income is (or is not) reported.

Attorneys asked that Francis be held in contempt and jailed if he doesn’t produce corporate records.

In April 2012, Tamara Favazza obtained a $5.8 million dollar judgment against Joe Francis’ Girls Gone Wild Franchise. Favazza alleged that a member of the production company lifted her top without her consent and subsequently distributed the video.  Ms. Favazza was 20 years old at the time of the incident and can be seen on the video saying “no”.

The November 26, 2012 hearing is a post judgment discovery hearing to determine Joe Francis’ assets to collect on the judgment.  During the hearing, the Judge declared that Francis “appeared was playing some kind of game” with the Court.  Francis’ attorneys warned Francis several times to “stop talking.”

Francis invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination throughout the hearing. However, since he partially answered questions, Ms. Favazza’s attorneys argued that Francis waived his right to remain silent and was obligated to answer the questions concerning his alleged transfer of assets that drained his companies to avoid payment of judgments.

The attorneys are expected to return to Court this week so stay tuned.

In the Pipeline: Did Melissa Gorga’s Association with Admitted Prostitute Land Her in Hot Water With Bravo and Sponsors

Melissa Gorga’s blind need for exposure may have landed her in hot water with Bravo and her sponsors.

Melissa was originally cast as the “traditional” stay at home mom who takes care of her husband and three small children. According to Missy, she loves her role in the Gorga household.  She claims that she has cooks and cleans for her family.

Melissa feigned disgust at Teresa’s use of the word c–t and disdain at any suggestion that hers was not a traditional marriage. Yet Melissa’s inconsistencies continue to plague her  ”traditional family values.”

Several people have come forward to disclose that they were prompted, encouraged and intimidated by the Marco camp to trash Teresa, her family and her businesses.

[insert admissions proofs]

One of Melissa’s notorious supporters, with close ties to the Marco camp, is a transgender personality and purported radio web blogger who is an admitted low budget escort:

When Melissa’s sister, Kim Pirrella was asked how the Marco camp could condone a prostitute, her response was that everyone was entitled to make a living.  The following is Kim Marco Pirrella’s views on the prostitute:

RHONJ: Kim DePaolo’s Campaign To Join RHONJ Promises What She Can’t Deliver

Kim DePaolo has made guest appearances in all 4 Seasons of Real Housewives of New Jersey.

In past seasons, Kim was part of the scenery. Kim’s shop and her fashion show provided the backdrop for much of the drama caused by the housewives.

Season 4 was the first time that Kim was invited to the Reunion to answer questions about the dramatic Finale. Viewers wanted answers to the following questions:

  • Who invited Melissa Gorga’s former manager to the Fashion Show?
  • Did Teresa know that the former manager would confront Melissa? and
  • Was Melissa a dancer?

Kim led Bravo and viewers to believe she had the answers.

Unfortunately, Kim failed to provide responsive answers to the questions – mainly because she was motivated by a not too hidden agenda to show Bravo that she could deliver sensational story lines.

Kim failed to inform Bravo that she did not mastermind the confrontation, nor could she have coordinated the attendance of the key players.

Faux Reality shows Kim as a business woman who “seems to have opportunities just fall in her lap.”

Reality does not require a brick to the head. Hit with Brick CLUNK

Kim has been masterful at drawing people into her web, gathering information and parlaying that information to her advantage (alla Herbert Hoover).  After all, she’s related (by marriage) to Kim Granatell.

Kim admitted that she speaks to Jacqueline on a daily basis and that she and Caroline “go way back.”

In fact, in Season 2 Kim and her former boyfriend Mike D attended the Sheriff’s Fundraiser at the Manzo’s Franklin Lakes home, wherein she excited Caroline by “volunteering” that Danielle Staub owed her $400.

It is this divided (questionable) loyalty that prevented Kim from providing responsive answers to questions surrounding the Fashion Show at the Reunion.  Kim was vague about Teresa’s involvement and advanced knowledge. Kim’s explanation regarding the presence of Melissa’s former manager left viewers more confused than before her appearance. Kim repeatedly refused to exonerate Teresa when Jacqueline and Caroline proclaimed that Kim told them that Teresa was involved in the Fashion Show confrontation.

So why is Kim straddling the Giudice/Manzo/Laurita fence? Why didn’t Kim explain how Melissa’s former manager came to attend the Fashion Show? Why didn’t she admit who orchestrated the drama instead of simply stating that “opportunities fall in her lap?”

Answer: Kim looks out for Kim without regard for Caroline, Teresa or Jacqueline (her so called “friends”).

 

BravoTV needed a Finale.  Faux Reality dictates that the Finale would be an unscripted sensational spontaneous occurrence during the course of filming. Reality was that BravoTV sought to invite people to the Fashion Show to maximize the dramatic conclusion for Season 4:

  • Danielle Staub refused to attend without adequate compensation and because she refused to promote Kim’s Show
  • Kim Granatell didn’t trust Bravo after it’s unflattering editing in Season 3

A Bravo Bird advised Faux Reality that Bravo turned to a woman from Melissa’s past, Penny Drossos-Karagiorgis. Penny’s family owned the club where Missy “bartended for $100 tips”; Penny knew Missy before her marriage to Joey; Penny knew how Missy met Joey; and, Penny could coordinate a meeting between Missy and her past. 

Kim named Penny the Artistic Stylist for the Fashion Show and Penny helped with the Fashion Show “Guest List.”

After filming the Season 4 Finale, Kim approached Bravo about offering her a contract to appear in Season 5.  A Bravo Bird advised Faux Reality that in order to entice Bravo, Kim guaranteed Bravo that she could deliver Penny and Kim G (without the need to contract with them) anytime Bravo needed them.

Faux Reality seeks to confirm whether Penny and Kim G have agreed that they will appear without compensation in order to assist Kim in obtaining a contract from Bravo.

When asked if Penny agreed to film free to assist Kim in obtaining a contract with Bravo, Penny’s husband @JohnnyTheGreek responded as follows:

Kim is a friend & wish everyone nothing but the best, but nothing in life is ever free, Is it?

Not knowing what the hell that meant, we responded:

Platitudes not necessary. Yes or No, did Penny agree to appear for free to help Kim D land contract?

No one has provided a responsive answer to the inquiry. So, all that is certain is that the Bravo Birdie confirmed that Kim may have parlayed her relationship with Penny and her familial relationship with Kim G into a Bravo contract.

All the ladies of RHONJ need to be cautious with Kim DePaolo because she has proven for the last Four Seasons that her loyalty lies with whomever can deliver what’s best for Kim.  The only person who is on to Kim’s true character is Missy Gorga.

Jeff Lewis Flips Out on Jenni Pulos & her Tell All Book

No one can ever say that Jeff Lewis is a patient man.

When Jeff’s assistant, Jenni Pulos told him that she was writing a book, he demanded to know what it said and requested a copy of the manuscript. When Pulos refused to provide a copy, Jeff flipped out and into the closest Court House. War of the Roses is going to seem tame compared to Flipping Out Legal Style.

 

On November 14, 2012, Jeff and his production company filed for an injunction to prevent the production and/or distribution of the book written by Jenni.

The Complaint alleges, among other things that:

In 2008 and again in 2010, Jenni executed a Confidentiality and NonDisclosure Agreement wherein she agreed not to disclose (and actively protect) confidential information regarding Jeff’s business or personal life. [Paragraph 9 of Complaint]

The Agreement provides that any violation or threatened violation of the Agreement would cause “irreparable injury to Jeff.”  Any violation would entitle Jeff to injunctive relief (meaning a restraining order) as well as the payment of attorneys fees. [Paragraph 10 of the Complaint]

In or about October, 2012, Jeff found out that Jenni was writing a book. Jeff reminded Jenni of the Confidentiality Agreement. [Paragraph 11 of the Complaint]

However, Jeff discovered that the book was finished and was entitled Hang In There, Baby – What One of the World’s Most Difficult Bosses Taught Me About Life, Work and Love. Jeff also learned that the book was already written, already assigned an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and is represented to be 288 pages. [Paragraph 12 of the Complaint]

Jeff sent written demands to Jenni and her agents, including a cease and desist in publishing the book. [Paragraph 13 of the Complaint]

The Complaint seeks a declaration that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in effect; that Jenni and her agents be prohibited from publishing and / or releasing the book; that  Jenni be responsible for injury and damage caused to Jeff.

Jenni woke to the news that her boss was suing her:

Word of advice for Jenni, referring to your boss as an uncool bully may not make for a very good working relationship.

Faux Reality’s independent investigation reveals that as of today’s date, Amazon was advertising presales of Jenni’s book which is entitled Hang In There, Baby!:

If the allegations of the Complaint are accurate, Jenni needs to get the 411 on a good defense attorney.

Laurita: Bankruptcy Trustee’s Progress Report On Laurita Assets & Deception

The Bankruptcy Trustee has convinced a Federal Judge to once again extend the time upon which objections can be filed in the Signature Apparel / Laurita Federal Fraud – Fraudulent Conveyance Case.

This is the fourth such motion made by the Trustee. The date to file objections has been extended to November 30, 2012, however the Trustee has reserved the right to make additional such motions as he continues to investigate the manner in which Signature Apparel was allegedly raped of its assets by the Laurita Family who he claims fraudulently conveyed same to deprive creditors.

The Trustee submitted his report to the Court in which he confirmed that he commenced 24 actions against entities that allegedly received assets of Signature Apparel in Lauritas’  attempt to defraud creditors and/or within 90 days of the filing of the Bankruptcy Petition.

The Trustee sought to recover from the above Defendants as follows:

As to the Laurita Defendants, the Trustee (Responsible Person) seeks the return of $8 million dollars that Lauritas allegedly diverted for personal use from Signature Apparel during a two year period:

The Trustee seeks the return of $2.8 million dollars that the Lauritas allegedly diverted to Roc Fashions and the Azrak family :

The Trustee commenced 22 additional cases for the return of $3.2 million dollars wherein Signature Apparel at the direction of Lauritas transferred monies in the 90 days preceding the bankruptcy filing:

One of the 22 claims that remains open is against American Express. The lawsuit alleges that within 90 days preceding the filing of the Petition, the Lauritas allegedly directed Signature Apparel to pay American Express expenses in excess of $355,000.

In addition, the Lawsuit against American Express alleges that the Lauritas’ directed the fraudulent transfer in excess of $3 million dollars for payment of accounts not held by Signature Apparel and/or expenses that were not related to Signature Apparel business, unfortunately only $2.3 million dollars falls within the 2 year statute of limitations for fraudulent conveyence that the Trustee can hope to recuperate.

When Christopher Laurita stated that he offered to purchase the Giudice furniture at their Bankruptcy auction, did he intend to pilfer more funds from Signature Apparel to do so?

If Shady Dealings Christopher was allegedly funding his family’s lavish lifestyle by fraudulently obtaining funds from Signature Apparel to the detriment of creditors, how could he possibly justify making such a statement that he could somehow assist the Giudice family?

It appears that Jacqueline Laurita is not the only member of the family who has tumbled down the rabbit hole.

Dumb & Dumber : Dumbest Couple on Bravo

Who is the dumbest couple of the Real Housewives’ franchises?

Just when Faux Reality shows Missy and Joey as the perfect little nymphomaniacs of the franchises, reality hits us smack between the eyes to show that Dumb and Dumber belong together. [Please pull out the Dictionary of Stupid Translations to decipher what Dumb and Dumber mean hereinunder]

The 2nd Grade teacher wannabe who made $100 tips for serving drinks states that she means it when she calls a WHAT?

Bless Missy’s Non-Existent Heart!

How many times did it take for the 2nd Grade teacher wannabe (who needed bigger boobs)  to “EGGMIT” IT . . .

This is the VICTIM who called her  in laws dumb and dumber? Clearly she hadn’t heard of the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” sing-a-long.

When a fan asks Joey to send a tweet to her deployed  husband, how does Dumber respond?

Clearly Brad shouldn’t “quick” when another door opens.

Priceless!

Just when Dumber finally begins to “learn his letters” . . .

Reality shows that he’s still a dummy because he plagiarized the tweet from Madea:

“Joey, I know Madea, and u Joey, are no Madea!” Then again if Madea helps Joey Dummy Pants learn his alphabet, maybe violating basic twitter terms isn’t that bad.

When Dumber was called on the plagiarized tweet, his response was to plagiarize yet another tweet:

The only thing worse than a dummy is a dummy who thinks he’s a Genius.

Of course who can ever forget Orange man’s tweet thanking the best sis:

So pop quiz time, who is the dumbest couple of Reality TV?

Special thanks and shout out to Plagiarism Police Sucka @USoCrazay and Madepiley for her entertaining Videos!!

In the PipeLine: Joey Gorga’s Business Hits The Paterson Falls into Financial Ruin

Missy’s hubby has hit another huge obstacle that may finally put an end to the Faux Reality as a “successful real estate developer.” This latest obstacle may be the reason that Joey Gorga recently started a pool business.

Several years ago, Gorga happened to be in the right place at the right time.  Saint Joseph’s Hospital (St Joe’s) in Paterson decided to remove itself from managing rental units for it’s visiting fellows/doctors – because the property management was draining resources and finances of the hospital. Since Gorga had just finished converting an abandoned warehouse into residential units near St Joe’s, the Hospital steered it’s displaced employees to Gorga’s project. The units were sold and/or rented to those associated with the Hospital for inflated rates (when compared to the market).  Gorga made out like a bandit – the units were immediately occupied without much effort.

Gorga purchased other abandoned manufacturing mills in the area expecting to lure the hospital to once again assist in unloading the units. What Gorga failed to recognize is that several other developers offered units at significant discounts (more in line with market prices). In addition, Gorga overextended himself in the Kinnelon development, the love shack and several projects in Paterson.

When conventional financial institutions refused to modify and/or provide financing for the projects, Gorga turned to private individuals in the area. The following are some, but not all of the private short term, high interest rate financing that Gorga was forced to use to keep one step ahead of financial ruin:

EXCLUSIVE In the Pipeline: The Incestuous Family Known As Bravo TV

Faux reality portrays BravoTV as a group of executives that have discovered a successful formula to turn a profit:  ”reality” shows that are inexpensive to produce. Writers, actors, and sets are not needed so overhead is minimal.  As a result, Bravo claims to deliver “real” people as they live their lives.

Yet we, the viewer keep seeing Bloopers that have us scratching our heads regarding how real these shows are. Time and time again the behind the scenes drama seems to overtake the filmed version.  The incestuous relationships among cast, crew and producers are truly fascinating.

With regard to Ryan Seacrest:

Bravo has repeatedly used Ryan Seacrest to promote the Housewives’ music ventures.  On various occasions Missy Gorga was filmed talking to Seacrest regarding her music. Her songs appear on Seacreat’s web page.

“What is Seacrest’s relationship to Bravo?” you ask.  Seacrest’s company produces Shahs of Sunset.  Scratching the other’s back allows Bravo to use Seacrest’s popularity in the music industry to promote the housewives’ singing ventures while Seacrest’s production company reaps the benefits of a show on Bravo.

With regard to Mohamed Hadid:

Mohamed Hadid was initially introduced to viewers on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as Lisa Vanderpump’s friend. Mr. Hadid’s mega mansion was used as the venue for Pandora Vanderpump’s engagement party. Mr. Hadid is easy to spot, he always the beautiful young super model draped over his arm.

Then Mr. Hadid was showcased on Shahs of Sunset. He and his latest multi-million dollar mansion were featured when he allowed Sammy to oversee some of the over the top renovations.

Mr. Hadid’s ex wife is Yolanda Hadid Foster, the new housewife of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  Yolanda’s current husband is David Foster (Find out who David Foster is)

Mohamed and Yolanda have three children: Gigi, Bella & Anwar. Gigi is the face of Guess. Bella is an award winning equestrian.

Joe Francis recently mentioned “his friend Mohamed” on Real Housewives of Miami during the argument between Joe Francis and Joanna Krupa.  Francis dropped the bomb by stating that “his friend Mohamed” had been with Joanna.  Joanna looked genuinely surprised by the statement.  Could Mohamed be Mohamed Hadid?  As soon as the episode aired, Golnesa “Gigi” Gharachedaghi of Shahs of Sunset tweeted her support.

Mr. Hadid does not appear the type of man to kiss and tell, in fact, it is mission impossible to find an internet photo with Mr. Hadid with his lady friends. So why would Francis pull that statement of the air?

Upon review, it has become clear that the statement was premeditated and calculated to send a message. This message is not about Kardashians, Krupa or helicopters. It’s personal . . .

Joe Francis is the first to admit that he has been to jail on a number of occasions for various criminal charges. He also admits that he met Roy Black when Mr. Black represented him on one of the criminal charges.

In 2008, the Office of the United States Attorney filed criminal charges against Joe Francis.  The Government named various key witnesses in it’s Federal case against Joe Francis. One of those witnesses is well known in the Housewives franchises . . .

 

The Government Witness against Joseph R. Francis was none other than Mohamed Hadid. Shortly after the Government opposed production of handwritten notes, Joe Francis accepted a plea deal.

In order to believe Joe Francis regarding Joanna Krupa, one would have to believe the IMPOSSIBLE,  that:

  • Hadid and he made peace after Hadid was identified as the Government’s witness in the criminal case against him; and

  • Hadid and he not only made peace, but are buddies to the point that Hadid is telling Francis about his past conquests.
I’m sorry Joe, we’re not buying it. It’s safe to say that the boys have not made up and Francis was less than truthful about his friendship with Hadid and prior relationships with Joanna Krupa. 

This article is a work in progress. . . incomplete . . . documents are coming in faster than we can process them. WOW

One Unforgetable Day for Joe Francis: $40 Million Dollar Judgment For Slandering Casino Mogul

UPDATED: November 12, 2012

Once upon a time, there was a very insecure boy . . . ALLEGEDLY. . .

And this insecure boy had a rather interesting childhood . . . ALLEGEDLY . . .

As this insecure boy became a man, he decided to turn the tables on those that he felt bullied him . . . ALLEGEDLY . . .

So the insecure man targeted beautiful young women who had ignored him by filming them in embarrassing situations and and producing gutter videos . . . ALEGEDLY . . .

 

As the insecure man made money, he acquired a false since of invincibility . . . ALLEGEDLY . . .

The insecure man thought he could do and say anything he wanted without concern for the truth . . . ALLEGEDLY . . .

After the insecure man raked up approximately $2 million dollars in gambling debts at the Wynn Casino in Vegas, the Casino sued the insecure man for recovery of the debts  . . . ALLEGEDLY . . .

The insecure man countered by saying that Vegas Billianaire Steve Wynn threatened to kill him and bury him in a hole in the desert . . . ALLEGEDLY . . .

Vegas Mogul Steve Wynn was not happy with the insecure man’s false, slanderous comments . . . ALLEGEDLY . . .

So Vegas Mogul sued the insecure man for slander, defamation for attempting to ruin his reputation . . . ALLEGEDLY . . .

In or about September, 2012, Casino Mogul Steve Wynn was awarded $40 million dollars by a Jury, which included punitive damages . . .

. . . . NO ALLEGEDLY about it. . . . The Jury determined that Joseph Francis sought to defame Steve Wynn by making false statements about him and as such injured his reputation. In making these findings, the Jury determined that Joseph Francis LIED.

[insert court docs]

Billionaire Wynn advised that he intends to donate the funds to battered women and wounded soldiers. A statement released by Mr. Wynn stated:

Joe Francis represents a new kind of criminal type: the digital assassin. He takes advantage of the protection afforded by the Internet to issue intentionally destructive charges against someone’s reputation, knowing full well that in the age of the Internet those statements will live forever.

His actions present a new challenge to society created by technology and the instantaneous news cycle.  The inflammatory information goes up instantly and stays forever, unchallenged and unproven, to the misery and detriment of any citizen that is a victim. The only remedy is a long road, an expensive road, to a trial before 12 fellow citizens. Most citizens don’t have the time or the resources to defend themselves and find the truth in a courtroom before a jury of their peers.

In this case, with this unbelievably reckless human being, Joe Francis, I am a surrogate, a stand in, for all the people with any reputation or in any business, or even just a private citizen, who can be wildly attacked.

Thank God for the justice system that finally sent a message: if you think you’re taking a cheap shot, it may be a lot more expensive than you had imagined. Therefore, think before you post; think before you speak; hesitate before you start to destroy someone’s character. There may be a day of reckoning.

Moral of the story: Joe Francis shouldn’t be slandering Casino Moguls or wives of Night Club owners. So Joey might want to apologize to Romain Zago and Joanna Krupa because the foundation has already been LAID that he’s a big fat LIAR.

In or about November 12, 2012, the trial judge granted Francis’ motion to set aside the punitive portion of the verdict and upheld the verdict in the amount of $19 million. A punitive damage award must be based upon a Defendant’s net worth, since Wynn did not prove how much Francis was worth, the trial judge set aside the punitive portion of the $40 million award.

The trail judge refused to set aside the jury’s damage award in the amount of $19 million. It appears that Joe Francis has a long hard fight to get the remainder of the damage portion overturned since the trial judge strengthened the factual and legal conclusions.

In the Pipeline: Gorga: We Pay Our Bills . . . Sometimes . . . But not lately

In another installment of As The Gorgas Turn, it appears that when Melissa Gorga announced “We Pay Our Bills” what she really meant to say was “We Pay Our Bills . . . sometimes .  .  . but not lately .  .  . so call me . . . maybe .  .  . baayyybeee”

It appears that the very successful businessman that Faux Reality portrays is sinking rapidly. Tax Liens on Gorga’s properties have been outstanding for so long that they can now be purchased by third parties in the form of tax lien certificates.

Cities give property owners incentive to pay their property taxes on time – if they don’t pay they are assessed a penalty of 18% interest on over due amount and a tax lien certificate is issued.  The city then sells the tax lien certificate to a third party at auction. The third party purchases the certificate to pay off the property taxes and in turn is entitled to collect the taxes, plus 18% interest per year from the property owner.  Tax lien certificates are superior to other liens or mortgages (except Federal liens), so the third party who purchases the tax lien certificate can force a foreclosure.

Apparently the Gorgas didn’t pay their property taxes on the Paterson property because the City of Paterson recorded several Tax Lien Certificates

On September 5, 2012, Pro Capital I, LLC purchased the following:

On   [insert all tax lien certificates]

Why would a successful businessman fail to pay his taxes for such a period of time to allow a tax lien certificate to be auctioned in foreclosure?

Why would a successful businessman need private short term loans with artificially inflated interest rates?

Signature Apparel Computers & Server Recovered from Chris Laurita’s Possession

In an ever evolving saga of mass corruption and greed, the Signature Apparel lawsuit against the Laurita Family took an interesting turn with the filing of today’s Motion seeking to amend the Scheduling Order to extend the discovery period.

In 2011, the United States Trustee filed a lawsuit against the Laurita famly in the name of Signature Apparel, wherein it was alleged that various members of the Laurita family pilfered and converted millions of dollars from Signature Apparel for their own personal use; improperly, illegally and fraudulently.

The US Trustee has attempted to obtain, among other things, electronic equipment (including computers, servers, hard drives owned by Signature Apparel) in preparation for the case against the Laurita family. The Laurita clan claimed that all computers, hard drives and servers were left at a warehouse with boxes of tens of thousands of documents pertaining to Signature Apparel.

Earlier today, a Motion was filed seeking to amend the Scheduling Order to extend the discovery period. The Motion was filed with the CONSENT of the Lauritas even though the Memorandum in support of the Motion contains devastating allegations and admissions attributed to Chris Laurita!

Christopher Laurita admitted that contrary to his repeated denials, he and his personal assistant, Susan C. removed computers from the Signature Apparel offices. He claims the computers were removed so that the equipment could be used in his new business, New Star Group, LLC (the Company that promotes BLK).  Chris disclosed that he was also in possession of a server originally belonging to Signature Apparel.

The Memorandum of Law filed in support of the Motion painstakingly sets forth the number of times Chris Laurita, through counsel, insisted that all computers, hard drives, servers and electronic equipment remained at the Signature Apparel warehouse before Laurita finally admitted that he and his personal assistant absconded with the equipment.

In an epiphany of epic proportions, on April 19, 2012 Chris Laurita, through counsel, admitted that contrary to repeated denials, he and his assistant removed computers and a server containing thousands of electronic documents from the Signature Apparel offices:

Adding insult to injury, the forensic analyst determined that the computer analysis has been “hindered by what appears to be widespread corruption of files, resulting from a computer virus.”

The Memorandum of Law further detailed that the Lauritas failed to provide an inventory of the thousands of boxes, files and equipment allegedly left behind, thus leaving the US Trustee the monumental task of recreating the Company’s records, inventory, etc.

With regard to depositions, the depositions of Chris and Joseph Laurita were originally to take place in May, 2012 and adjourned. Attorneys have been asking for the deposition of Jacqueline Laurita since August, 2012 to no avail.  According to the US Trustee,

Efforts to schedule depositions were frustrated by the Laurita and ROC Defendants’ unwillingness to timely respond, if at all, to Signature’s repeated requests for dates, or to provide dates within the confines of the current Scheduling Order.

Paragraph  34 of Memorandum of Law.

How ironic that Jacqueline was available for her tabloid interviews regarding her son’s autism, but unavailable for her Federal deposition. Clearly the US Trustee did not realize that Jacqueline was busy compiling text messages, giving tabloid interviews and reviewing RHONJ episodes for her performance at the reunion. Perhaps the Court will allow a deposition through Twitter for Jacqueline’s convenience.

After a great deal of wrangling, depositions are scheduled as follows:

  • Anthony Laurita- November 12, 2012
  • Jacqueline Laurita – November 13, 2012
  • Adeline Laurita- November 16, 2012
  • Joseph Laurita – November 29. 2012
  • Christopher Laurita – December 4, 2012

In the Pipe Line: Richard Wakile is Becoming a Professional Defendant

Richard Wakile is no stranger to the Judicial system. In fact, he has surpassed Joey Gorga as most named Defendant in New Jersey Superior Court.

Rich was the subject of at least 16 lawsuits that we were able to verify.

StoopidHousewives reported on Exxon’s claims against Richard, where Exxon obtained a judgment against Rich for $113,ooo and he admitted by default forging his partner’s name on documents.

But there is so much more!

Recently, Rich was sued in the case entitled Natural Paradise Landscaping vs. Richard Wakile.

Natural Paradise alleged that it had provided landscaping services for over a year ending in October 2011 at the Wakile residence without payment. Natural Paradise sued Richard Wakile for unjust enrichment and breach of contract. On or about September 24, 2012, the Judge found in favor of Natural Paradise and against Rich.

For two seasons, Kathy insisted that Rich’s comments about Teresa were said “in jest.” “It’s his off color nutty sense of humor.” Those who experienced Rich’s tweets saw disrespectful inappropriate behavior when dealing with women. Those tweets were usually deleted within days of their posting. It appears that Rich’s conflicts with women have found their way to the Court House steps.

On July 20, 2011, Joan Deprospo sued Richard Wakile in Passaic County.

Rich resolved the matter with Ms. Deprospo on December 9, 2011.

Twenty days after resolving the matter with Joan Deprospo, on December 29, 2011, Shawndra Miller sued Richard Wakile.

WAKILE: Cannoli-Gate – The Dark Side

Cannoli are synonymous with celebrations . . . parties . . . good times . . . a little tube of heaven.

Who can forget the quaint dinner Joe and Teresa Giudice held for Caroline Manzo and her young son during Season 2. The dinner was topped off with an incredible plate of Cannoli, fruits, other sweet delicacies made by Teresa Giudice.

Years before Kathy Wakile and her titimisu offered in the parking lot next door to the Totowa Cemetery, Teresa was cooking, baking, taking care of her rambunctious young daughters and showing her daughters and viewers the true meaning of Italian traditions.

Bottling tomatoes with their grandparents:

Making brick oven pizza with the extended family:

 

Baby Audriana’s birth and Christening – no name calling, no drunken brawls and no bloodshed.

Watching Gia as she maneuvers her way through the world of modeling, acting, and dancing.

The trip to Italy filled with scenic vistas and amazing food, including CANNOLI!

Fast forward to Season 3 and Season 4 and the Dark Side of “respect” and “old school” as we are plunged into Cannoli-Gate.

With the introduction of Katerina Wakile, we come to learn that she and/or her mother invented Italian cuisine from the inception of time to present. Apparently, Kathy lurks around libraries and bookstores, and points to photos in cookbooks identifing each photo as “my mother’s _________ [insert name of food in photo].”

In Season 4, Kathy met with the executives of Bindi to discuss marketing her desserts.  Kathy is conveniently vague about what, if anything, came from her disasterous meeting with the Bindi executives (where her husband announced that she tastes like fish).

Faux Reality wants us to believe that Bindi jumped at the chance to have Kathy (the inventor of all Italian desserts) partner with Bindi. The Reality is quite different.

 

Bindi is a highly respected Italian company that was established by the Bindi family in 1946. Most of it’s gourmet dessert product line is produced in Italy and imported to the United States for distribution. Bindi sets forth it’s values.

It was highly unlikely that a 60 year old Italian company with Master Pastry Chefs on staff would suddenly partner with a woman with no formal training to make it’s cannoli.  Bindi has been marketing its own cannoli years before Kathy claimed that she and/or her mother invented them. Bindi has also had a  cannoli kit, not as popular as it’s ready made, flash frozen cannoli, but a cannoli kit nonetheless.

So why has Kathy Wakile been so vague about whether Bindi partnered with her and “her Cannoli kit?”  After all the swipes Kathy took at Teresa for the recipes, wouldn’t Kathy want to make it clear what part she played in the recipe, manufacture and distribution of the kit that she intends to introduce to QVC in less than 2 months?

If Kathy was able to structure a deal with Bindi, she would be flaunting it. The deal is as follows:

Bindi refused to have their name associated with Kathy Wakile or her companies. Bindi agreed to reactivate it’s cannoli kit (that it has not actively marketed) under a different label (unassociated with Bindi), it will allow Wakile to name and market the cannoli kit. In exchange Wakile will receive a percentage of net sales. 

How ironic that after Kathy’s snide comments to Teresa about her mother’s pizzelle cookies, Kathy will be promoting a cannoli kit that is not a Pierri recipe.

The House That Came Between Joey & Papa Gorga

Why would Joey Gorga blurt out that he pays his parent’s rent but was forced to sell the house they occupied?

The Faux Reality was that Joey and Melissa are such wonderful souls that they provide financial support to ailing Papa Gorga.  Reality is a sordid tale of deception and greed. How devious can a son be to fulfill his wife’s ambitions?

Some of the names have been changed and information redacted from documents to protect the privacy of Papa Gorga.

Papa Gorga has worked his whole life in the shoe repair business as the sole wage earner, he and his wife Antonietta raised their kids, they bought a house,  their kids married, they fussed over their grandchildren – they were living the American Dream.

Papa and Antonietta were happy in their home in Paterson. They raised their kids there and “we will live here for another 100 years until God takes us to a better place.” They don’t need glitz – they are happy with their tomato plants, memories and their grandkids. But Joey needed their help so they agreed to sell their Paterson property and move to the Old Ridge Road property to help their son.

Sordid History of the Old Ridge Road Property

Joey Gorga owned property on Old Ridge Road which he bought for $500,000 in 2002. It was a modest home on a modest block for modest folks. It was the home that Joey intended to occupy before he realized that he needed to impress if he were going to attract the “non gold digging type.”

Because the real estate market tanked, Joey couldn’t sell the home without a substantial loss when he ultimately decided to build in Franklin Lakes, so the Old Ridge Road property remained as rental income.

In or about February 2, 2007, Joey purchased the land for the love shack in Montiville. Now he desperately needed money to build the 13,000 uber mansion.

In order to help to fund building Montville, on May 18, 2007, Joey took out a mortgage on the Old Ridge Road property for the amount of $500,000. Since he could not qualify on his own, Joey put his father’s name on the Mortgage – thus exposing his father to potential liability even though his father did not own an interest in either Montville or Old Ridge Road. Why would Joey expose his father to potential liability without providing his father any interest in the underlying asset. Greed! Who exposes an ailing parent to potentially losing his home if the underlying debt cannot be repaid? Greed!

It gets worse.

On August 6, 2007, Joey forces his father to take out a line of credit in the amount of $100,000.

It gets worse.

On February 13, 2009, Joey Gorga and Melissa Gorga and their heirs are sued in a foreclosure action by National City Mortgage.  They are desparate!

November 17, 2009 is a pivotal date.  Several odd transactions occur on November 17, 2009 . . . all at the direction of Joey Gorga.

First, Joey sells the Old Ridge Road house to his parents for $440,000. The house is assessed at $286,000. [will verify to see how close to appraised value is to assessed value]. First National Bank of America has a  $500,000 first mortgage on the property and Papa Gorga has a $100,000 line of credit.

On that same day, “Anthony DeLorenzo” (a friend of Joey Gorga) borrows money from two private lenders and uses the Old Ridge Property that is now allegedly owned by Papa and Antonio Gorga as collateral. Both are short term loans. The first is $145,000 at 8% interest to be paid in 2 years by November 9, 2011.

The second is $325,000 that is structured as a balloon to be paid in 3 years on December 31, 2012.

On August 23, 2010, Anthony DeLorenzo sold the Old Ridge Road property to the current owners.

When did DeLorenzo buy the property? Were the private loans made to Joey and Joey failed to pay them back, thus prompting Anthony to “foreclose” on the property? Did Papa Gorga live in the house thinking it was his property only to be forced out!

Joey Gorga Loves Picking Up Trash

Before the influence of Jersey Shore and the Lights of Bravo, Joey Gorga was a family oriented, loving son and brother.  He was devoted to his parents and adored his only sister.

Joey wasn’t stripping, he wasn’t ridiculing his sister or flat out lying about his parent’s financial condition, he wouldn’t have stood for anyone calling his father a coward or his mother a fucking liar, he wouldn’t have turned his back on Gia and he would have cut off his arm before hurting his family.

Joey was a loyal friend that would drop everything to lend a helping hand.

Joey was proud of working for what he acquired, he was proud of who he was and he always acknowledged the assistance he received from his parents, from his sister and from his brother in law. ALWAYS.

So what changed? Why did the down to earth Italian boy from Paterson become a money hungry self centered sell out who not only turned his back on his family, he assisted in the attempted carnage?

In his early years, Joey wasn’t afraid of hard work. In 2000, he incorporated Gorga Sanitation & Recycling Services, Inc. which as the name states was in the business of “trash removal.”

So while Melissa Marco was playing girls gone wild in Florida, getting arrested for shoplifting, living with various males and females, getting musty balls to pay for her new titties, Joey was picking up trash to make money and put food on the table.

Now, you may think that I’m going to say that’s why he was so experienced picking up trash, but that is just too easy, so I will refrain.

There is nothing wrong with hard honest work. However, in order to be approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency, a sanitation and recycling company must have a bona fide facility. Joey listed his parent’s one family residence as the sanitation facility:

Papa Gorga’s street address has been removed due to privacy concerns

So Joey worked in trash removal. After Teresa married Joe Giudice, Joey learned the construction business from his brother in law.  Slowly Joey moved away from trash.

Who knew that Joey’s love for trash would pull him into the clutches of The House of Marco.

Major thanks to Secret Service operative Maggs who can find a needle in a haystack.

“Pay Your Bills” : Gorgas Are Under Water & Sinking Rapidly

When Joe Giudice told Joey Gorga to “Pay Your Bills” we wondered why would he make such a statement. . .

Faux Reality said that Joey Gorga was a successful contractor who lavished his wife with a recording studio, a bentley and lavish gifts.  Melissa Gorga repeatedly stated that they are not financially strapped, nor was that the reason they are selling their love shack. So why would Joe Giudice make such a statement?

Reality proves that Joe Giudice was spot on with his knowledge of the Gorgas’ desperate financial condition. Joey Gorga better stop borrowing from loan sharks, because when he can’t pay, they get really cranky. . .

Before Melissa came into Joey’s life, The Giudices assisted in finding and funding Joey Gorga’s acquisition in Franklin Lakes for a ridiculously low price:

As a result of the acquisition, Joe Giudice helped Joey build the Franklin Lakes house between 2002 and 2003. It was this house that Melissa first saw when she met Joey in October, 2003.

In 2005, the Gorgas purchased a shore house on in Toms River.

On February 2 2007, Joey Gorga purchased a lot in Montville to build a house. Melissa claimed Joey was building her dream house. Joey purchased the property in his name alone; he used money from the sale of his Franklin Lakes house; Melissa had not contributed any funds towards the purchase or improvements of Franklin Lakes or Montville.

In November, 2007 when “don’t call me gold digger” Melissa realized that her name was not on the deed of the love shack, she became enraged. She forced Joey to redo the documents to include her name!

Melissa blamed Teresa Giudice for the failure to include her on the love shack, accusing Teresa of  coming up with the idea to shield Joey’s assets from her gold digging reach. Past bickering paled in comparison to Melissa’s anger in what she perceived as Teresa’s interference with her ability to get her hands on Gorga assets. Why would wifey who married for love and intended to stay married forever, be so livid that her name was not on the love shack deed?

On or about November 30, 2007, the Gorgas toook advantage of Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac programs and borrowed $2,250,000 for the construction of the Montville property. The Gorgas used the Montville property, the Toms River property and the Paterson property as collateral.

Montville Property as Collateral

Toms River Property as Collateral

Paterson Property was purchased in July, 2007 by way of short sale from Deutsche Bank National Trust Co – used as Collateral

On or about July 9, 2008, in violation of the terms and conditions of the $2.2 million dollar mortgage and security interest documents, Joey Gorga took a private mortgage from JoeyD for $350,000 on the Paterson property. The Paterson property is assessed at $357,000.

Teresa and Joe Giudice assisted Joey in building the Montville house.

In 2009, the Gorgas were sued in foreclosure by National City Mortgage.  The suit was completed on July 21, 2011.

The construction and real estate markets are in the toilet. Joey has a mortgage on Montville, Toms River and Paterson in excess of $2.5 million dollars and property taxes on Montville alone of $68,000 per year.

So the Gorgas put Montville and Toms River up for sale.

In the world of Faux Reality Melissa Gorga brokenly and dramatically stated that they were moving out of her dream house because she did not want her little girl to be harassed by the Giudice girls “in the future.” But there is a huge disconnect with Melissa’s dramatic proclamation.

In Reality the Montville property is listed for $3.8 million. According to the Township of Montville, the property was assessed at $1.5 million dollars as of 2011.

ATTN: CORRECTION: The love shack’s 2011 assessed value (which in Montville is 100% of the appraised – fair market value) was $1.5 million. In 2012, the house was reassessed (based upon a new appraisal – fair market value) and the love shack’s tax assessment was based upon a value of $3.1 million. It is unclear how the love shack doubled in value since all work was allegedly completed in 2010, when the Gorgas moved in. The Montville Building Department confirmed that no additional work was done (or should have been done) after 2010. Thus, it appears that the love shack in a depressed market miraculously doubled in value without any significant changes in less than one year. 

Montville Tax Assessor confirmed that properties in the Township are assessed at 100% of their appraised value.  A financial institution would be hard pressed to lend more than 70% of the appraised value of the property. Thus a buyer would be unable to borrow more than $2.1 million on a $3.8 million dollar price tag.  That leaves a very small target market as a potential buyer for the Gorga house – A dummy with lots of cash on hand!

StoopidHousewives took us inside the Toms River Property. The Toms River property was listed for sale for the amount of $535,000, reduced in or about April, 2012 to $520,000. It is assessed at $391,000. On September 15, 2012, the property was removed from sales listings.

Documents for this article were produced by former Secret Service Operative Maggs (also known as Natasha to my Boris), who was incredible in her dedication to getting the truth published.

Missy proclaimed “At Least We Pay Our Bills” [except for a pesky foreclosure. and the sub contractors. and the service providers]

Who can ever forget Melissa Gorga’s swipe at her in laws when she proclaimed, “At Least We Pay Our Bills.” She explained that her husband is “very successful” in his business, converting warehouses to condos and building custom homes, “he is a brilliant businessman”.

Well, it appears that Missy “forgot” a few pesky details. Even if Missy discards the numerous lawsuits by subcontractors and service providers, Missy still failed to mention that while bashing the Giudices for their financial issues, she and her very successful brilliant businessman were sued by National City Mortgage in foreclosure.

According to Court documents, the foreclosure action against Joey and Missy was filed in February 13, 2009 and not concluded until July 21, 2011.

 

Melissa cannot possibly say she was unaware of the foreclosure action because she and her heirs are named Defendants!

So why does a successful brilliant businessman allow a foreclosure action to remain open for 2 years and destroy his credit? How can a contractor conduct business without lines of credit and construction loans – known of which is available to a man with a foreclosure on his record?

A Love Story Jersey Shore Style: Missy loves Tarzan

Please let me find a schmoo  I can manipulate!

This is a love story . . . a girl’s love for money and fame. . . no matter the personal cost to herself or those who get in her way.

It is not for the faint of heart. A Jersey Shore love story . . .

A long long time ago, before Snooki, before the Situation, and before Ronnie, there was a very ambitious teenager that lived at the Jersey Shore.

She was a scrappy little thing, far younger and far more devious than her two much older used up sisters.

Jersey Shore was called an ugly duckling so it was important to transform herself if she was to steal the future she felt she deserved.

Jersey Shore was all about having a good time. Shortly after her parents divorced, she went on a party spree that would have made Girl’s Gone Wild proud.

“Incorrigible” they said. “Certifiable” they said. Unable to tame her behavior, Jersey Shore’s mom packed up the little young thing and shipped her off to Florida. But things only got worse . . .

. . . Jersey Shore wasn’t interested in an education.  She was all about partying. Before long, she moved in with a friend and commenced a romantic relationship with her.  Together Jersey Shore and her roommate partied their days and nights away.  The party came to an abrupt end when Jersey Shore was arrested for shoplifting. After posting bond, she was immediately returned to New Jersey.

“What am I going to do with you,” said Mama D, “get your act together and find a man. Me and your gosh darn sisters were married and bleeding men dry by your age!”

“But Mama D, where oh where are all the eligible sugardaddies? Oh! Oh! I know! College! Do professors have money?” asked Jersey Shore.  The problem was one had to graduate from high school to attend college. So Jersey Shore promptly acquired her GED and enrolled at Jersey City College. She then moved to Bayonne with her girlfriend. Apartment #3C! What a crazy crazy place to be.

In order to fulfill her lifelong dream, she searched high and low for the perfect sugerdaddy. She attracted them, young and old, she didn’t discriminate, but sadly they never stayed beyond a good time.

Big Titties are required for teaching 2nd Grade

There was of course musty balls. He paid for Jersey Shore’s titties. Jersey Shore was eternally grateful because an aspiring teacher neeeds big titties.

There was Mr. Range Rover (commonly known as Tommy The Greek). Unfortunately, Range’s parents did not approve of Jersey Shore. After all, she was from the wrong side of the tracks, no formal education, and she looked like a stripper.  When Range’s father caught her crawling thru a window to get to Range’s room. Jersey Shore was promptly dismissed.

[photo as soon as cleared for posting]

 

Dave C

 

Then of course there was Dave C, the wealthy tall ‘drink of water’ beefy body builder type that Jersey Shore targeted. Unfortunately, Dave could not take a girl who “bartended for $100 tips” home to meet the family.

“My family will know you’re a gold digger, but we can be friends with benefits! I’ll pay your rent again” said Dave.

 

 

Matt “Hollywood”

 

Then of course there was Matt “Hollywood”, an aspiring actor and recording artist!  The total package!  But once Hollywood learned that old musty balls bought Jersey Shore’s titties, she was promptly dismissed.

Could it be that Jersey Shore’s singing desires stem from her need to show Hollywood that she was worth keeping? Does she think they will cross paths if she wiggles her way into the industry?

While on spring break with her latest victim conquest, Jersey Shore was approached by Stumpy.  Jersey Shore thought he was a local day laborer. Stumpy followed Jersey Shore around the resort like a lost puppy. She told him that she was a teacher by day and “$100 dollar a tip bartender” at  Lookers Gentlemen’s Club by night. Aside from being small, Stumpy was rather gullible. But, Jersey Shore also told Stumpy that she could not possibly date him; she had her sights set on tall beefy bodybuilders with oversized wallets. Stumpy couldn’t foot the bill – “literally.”

To Jersey Shore’s shock and dismay, Stumpy appeared at Looker’s several months later – big bills in hand! For weeks and weeks Stumpy came to Lookers and each time he came with his $100 tip, he would ask her out. Jersey Shore would graciously decline – how could Stumpy possibly give her the lifestyle that she aspired to have?

One evening, Jersey Shore and her friends crashed a party in Franklin Lakes.  At the party, Jersey Shore got her first glimpse at TARZAN.  She fell madly and hopelessly in love AT FIRST SIGHT! TARZAN was the biggest thing she had ever seen! “I must have TARZAN” she exclaimed.

Within days of seeing TARZAN, Jersey Shore formulated her plan.  When Stumpy next came to Lookers to give her his $100 tip (for a drink of course), Jersey Shore shed a tear and told him that her roommate threw her out of their apartment in Bayonne. She would soon be homeless!

“How can that be?” said Stumpy “a princess can’t be homeless! Stay with me till yous find a place.”

“Oh thank you, Angel From God!! It would be impossible to teach 2nd grade, bartend for big tips while finishing college if I have to live in a bedazzled box!” replied Jersey Shore.

Jersey Shore moved into Stumpy’s house. Within a week of moving in, Jersey Shore came home with tears in her eyes yet again, “I can’t teach those kids, they’re monsters. I can’t possibly teach, work at the tanning salon and bartend for $100 tips!”

Stumpy immediately told his princess to quit all her jobs! She was to work for him as a receptionist since he was a very HUGE & Impotent [sic] Real Estate Developer.

Thus starts the fairy tale life between Melissa Marco and Tarzan!

And Missy and Tarzan lived happily ever after . . .

. . . almost

. . . until Tarzan was sold for a bigger house

. . . and the electric company turned the lights off for nonpayment.

. . . and she realized she would have to keep Stumpy too.

You didn’t think Tarzan was Stumpy, did you!! I said BIG! Missy fell in love with big bold beautiful Tarzan, the house that mucho money built!

Breaking NEWS: Jacqueline Laurita’s damning Direct Messages re: Posche Fashion Show

Jacqueline Laurita’s obsessive twitter behavior may have landed her in a world of trouble. The night before Part Three of the RHONJ reunion, Jacqueline sent direct messages regarding the debacle at the Posche Fashion Show (PFS) which took place on September 29, 2011. The Direct Messages will be posted shortly.

During a tabloid interview, Melissa Gorga stated:

In numerous settings, Jacqueline confirmed that she was told that someone was going to be targeted at the PFS. Jacqueline further confirmed that she told Melissa and Caroline Manzo before the event, but that no one knew who the target was going to be. As Melissa admitted, she didn’t think she was the target. Apparently, having a target was okay as long as it wasn’t one of the “chosen 4.”

We watched in horror as Jacqueline and Caroline conspired, texted and smirked as Teresa nervously tried to make sense of what was happening.

Does this look like the face of a Mastermind whose diabolical scheme was coming to fruition?

Who could ever forget Caroline’s satisfied grin, as her daughter screamed “MOM, DON’T” as she leaned over and showed Melissa a text message on her iPhone.  Melissa’s responded with a defiant grin that could only be described as evil, as she pulled up her bustier (for the tenth time).

As the evening progressed, the story told by Jacqueline and Melissa unfolded from “who was the bald guy” into a premeditated plot masterminded by Teresa to destroy Melissa.

The viewers never once heard Teresa refer to Melissa as a stripper; never once heard Angelo (Looker’s Manager) say that Teresa told him to confront Melissa; never once heard Jacqueline talking to anyone.

The Reality was that while Melissa refused to confront Angelo without her husband, she insisted that Teresa should have confronted him. The Reality was that by the time Joey Gorga showed up, Jacqueline Laurita and Melissa Gorga worked each other into such a frenzy that Jacqueline Laurita blurted out that Teresa set up the confrontation.

So the million dollar question is: what happened between the time Angelo approached the table and the time that Joey Gorga arrived that gave Jacqueline the “proof” to declare that Teresa set up Melissa?

Jacqueline told Teresa in the street the night of the PFS that she was told by a “mutual friend” that Teresa was responsible, but she refused to disclose the identity of the mutual friend. Since then, Jacqueline has insisted that she has a recording with “proof” but cannot release same.

Let’s pretend for argument’s sake that a recording exists and that it proves “something,” Reality is that it is not illegal to release the recording according to the laws of the State of New Jersey. In fact, the Laurita Bankruptcy attorneys recently battled over one attorney recording another attorney without permission, so the Lauritas know that recording a conversation without consent is not illegal.

Back to the million dollar question: What happened from the time Angelo first appeared to the point where Jacqueline received “proof” Joey Gorga that Teresa set up Melissa?  

A logical person would think that Jacqueline must have received the “proof” before the end of the PFS to be so confident that she would tell Joey Gorga that his sister betrayed him.

On October 13, 2012, Jacqueline Laurita began a Direct Message exchange with:

CIA Operative code name FLO “Eat My Grits”

With the assistance of her sidekick, USOCRAZAY, Flo initially engaged Jacqueline by tweeting the following:

 

Instead of tweeting, Jacqueline responded in direct messages. Jacqueline doesn’t know when to stop:

Keep in mind that the day after the September 29, 2011 PFS, Jacqueline posted tweets calling Teresa a “scum” and released text messages where she claims that she was helping to alert Teresa that “a friend” was releasing a story about Joe Giudice and a woman. Why would Jacqueline want to “alert” Teresa “to help” if less than 24 hours before Jacqueline thought Teresa masterminded the set up of Melissa?

So all this is swirling around for over a year. Jacqueline’s twitter Tourette Syndrome will not allow her to remain silent. On the other hand, her ever changing stories over the year make it impossible for Jacqueline to remain consistent.

So CIA Operative Flo “Eat My Grits” YAMAMASBOX asks if Jacqueline knew what was going down, who told her to stay and watch like a devious child.  Jacqueline can’t publically reveal the truth under the terms of her contract. But what’s a couple of direct message between twitter friends?

So on October 13, 2012 at 12:21 pm, Jacqueline sends @YAMAMASBOX some direct messages:

How inconsistent with all the other stories told!

Let’s list all the inconsistencies in Jacqueline’s latest and ever changing version of events.

This is real, this is not a test, if this was a test, you would have been so advised.

In the Pipe Line: Sex, Lies, Hearsay and Recordings

Jacqueline Laurita has been screaming and stamping her feet for weeks that she wants to release a recording “proving” that Teresa Giudice set up her sister in law at the Posche Fashion Show. Jacqueline gratuitously volunteers that unfortunately, she cannot release the recording because “it is illegal to do so since the other person will not permit the release.”

According to New Jersey state law, a person has a right to record their own conversations. It is illegal, however, for an individual to record or tape a conversation to which he is not a party or without prior consent of one of the parties. In other words, an individual is prohibited by law from recording the conversations of other parties without permission.

Newsflash to Jacqueline, the recording of a conversation she had with someone else is not illegal.  NJSA 2A:156A-4 provides exceptions where recordings are legal.

So Jacqueline needs to stop hiding behind her misconception that she cannot release the recording. The release is not illegal. So, we are waiting  . . . for her next lame excuse why she can’t or won’t release the alleged recording.

To answer hypothetical (which I would have preferred not to do), as long as recording was made in New Jersey, the law of this State applies, therefore there is no obstacle to Jacqueline releasing the alleged recording which she claims “proves her point” that Teresa set up her sister in law, even if the person who provided the information was in another State. I must admit, I am suspicious as to why a certain poster is so insistent that the person to whom Jacqueline spoke was “out of State” particularly since Jacqueline claimed that the person was a “mutual friend.”

Melissa Gorga’s Brother In Law Scott Simpson’s Bankruptcy: Did Melissa Not Know?

Who can forget Melissa Marco Gorga’s infamous line about the Giudices, “We pay our bills.” Faux reality says the Gorgas pay their bills and Melissa is outraged that the Giudice Family had to resort to Bankruptcy protection.

Reality is not as Melissa describes . . . not by a long shot.  Aside from the Gorga’s financial woes (detailed on StoopidHousewives), at least one of Melissa’s sisters is in financial crisis as well.

In 2009, Melissa’s brother in law, Scott G Simpson (married to Lysa Simpson) filed a  Bankruptcy Petition.

 

An  interesting part of the bankruptcy involved a property located at 50 Holsman Street, Paterson, New Jersey. Why would a barber from Toms River buy a delapidated property in Paterson – an hour and a half away? Why would Simpson take out a $320,000 construction loan in 2007 on a $180,000 property when he’s not a builder?

According to the Motion to vacate the stay of the lawsuit, at the time of the bankruptcy filing in 2009, the property was appraised at $184,000 and Simpson owed $370,000.

 

Simpson borrowed over $320,000 as a “Construction Loan,” he took the funds, allegedly never made the improvements, then allowed the property to go into foreclosure and surrendered it to the Mortgage Company.

Because the property was worth $200,000 less than the mortgage, the Mortgage Company sued Simpson for the difference between the value of the property and the money that he borrowed. Simpson filed for bankruptcy, discharged the difference and walked away without having to pay the funds that he borrowed less than 2 years earlier.

In the Petition, Simpson sought to discharge debts from some (not all) of the following creditors:

  • Credit Cards: $65,000
  • “Lawsuit”: $188,000

It appears that the “lawsuit” creditor is the Mortgage Company on the Paterson property.

While the Simpson family struggles to pay their bills, Lysa Simpson has been actively campaigning to become the next RHONJ. She has “refreshed” her look and she has scaled down on attacking cast mates of RHONJ and fans on Twitter. She continues to antagonize Teresa Giudice by proclaiming to be Joe Gorga’s “real sister” and referring to Antonia Gorga as “our Antonia.”

After all the misinformation and inconsistent tales that Melissa Marco Gorga has told, together with the struggling financial situation, it is highly unlikely that Lysa Simpson will be a Housewife anytime in the future. However, perhaps the Jersey Shore 50 year Reunion will cast soon.

I would like to thank JennyS  for the tip and StoopidHousewives for the details on the Simpsons.

In the Pipe Line: Laurita Family Failed Attempt to Use “Diminished Capacity” to Defend Jacqueline’s Exposure

In the wake of mounting allegations against the Laurita family and the manner in which the  Laurita Family raided the corporate assets of Signature Apparel to the tune of $55 million, it appears that the Laurita Family are attempting to limit Jacqueline’s liability by showing “diminished capacity”

Melissa Gorga Strikes Out as Recording Artist

Melissa Marco Gorga wants to be a recording artist. And she will do anything to get there.

Was Juicy so far off on the Raccoon eyes?

Gorga has released four songs on iTunes to date. What has she made and how many has she sold?

The introduction of digital music sites like iTunes have changed the face of the music industry and the manner in which royalties and income streams are realized. Songwriters are no longer limited to collecting royalties on physical analog recordings. With the advent of digital music, people outside the traditional recording studio can upload and sell their music from the comfort of their living rooms.

Digital Downloads and amounts owed are regulated by law. Each time a song is downloaded, a royalty of $.09 is paid to the songwriter by the download music service (iTunes). There are also regulated rates for public performances,  interactive streaming and ringtones.

Gorga’s songs were produced by her husband’s company, AGJ Entertainment, LLC.

On Display was released on August 13, 2011. Melissa is listed as co-writer.  As of July 1, 2012, it has been downloaded 21,418 times. It is selling for $.99

How Many Times was released on April 29, 2012. As of July 1, 2012, it has been downloaded 16,310 times. It is selling for $1.29

Rockstar was released on June 10, 2012. As of July 1, 2012, it has been downloaded 1,496 times. It is selling for $1.29

I Just Wanna was released on September 9, 2012. No statistics are available as of yet on number of downloads. It is selling for $1.29

The standard contract that iTunes utilizes for independent production companies, depending on whether it is a bulk rate, is 30% of the download rate for the first 100,000 downloads and one time application fee which brings rate to 40%.

Therefore, as of July 1, 2012,  Melissa has 33,224 downloads.  Total amount to Melissa (before the Bravo cut) is approximately $16,000.00. (The amount that Teresa Giudice makes for two appearances). Was the money worth the destruction of the Gorga family. Melissa Marco thinks so.

Governor Christie Says No To Manzo – Resign or Face Charges

From favored child to fallen angel, the Manzos have had a tumultuous relationship with State officials in New Jersey.

For years the Manzo Family benefited from their political contacts in Passaic County. During Season 2, Bravo filmed the annual fundraiser that the Manzo Family hosted for Passaic County Sheriff Jerry Speziale at their home in Franklin Lakes.

Passaic County Sheriff Jerry Speziale

While Speziale was Sheriff, Albert Manzo, co owner of the Brownstone, was appointed as the Deputy Chief of the Deputy Division of Passaic County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD).

Albert Sr shows off his Passaic County Police Academy Sweat Shirt in Season 2

After Albie was expelled from law school, Sheriff Speziale permitted Albie to enroll at the Passaic County Police Academy and hired him for the Department. Since there are limited positions in each class at a police academy, Albie’s presence meant that another candidate was denied entry into the Academy.

Albie wearing his Sheriff’s Department shirt on episode of RHONJ

On January 19, 2010, Governor Chris Christie took office. Governor Christie was a former US Attorney whose specialty was targeting corrupt politicians.  On August 10, 2010, Sheriff Speziale announced his resignation effective immediately. Shortly thereafter, Albert and Albie Manzo lost their jobs with the PCSD.

On February 25, 2011, Governor Christie demanded that the seven commissioners at the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission provide detailed information on hiring / compensation practices and whether they played a role in finding jobs for family members. The Governor sent an additional letter to Commissioner Albert Manzo questioning why his residence was listed as the Brownstone Catering Hall (located in Passaic County) instead of his Franklin Lakes mansion (Bergen County), located 20 minutes away.

On March 15, 2011, Governor Christie suspended Manzo. The Governor indicated that if  Manzo didn’t resign voluntarily, the Governor would file charges against him for falsifying his residence in order to qualify for the Commissioner’s position.

On March 22, 2011, Albert Manzo resigned as Commissioner. Manzo refused to acknowledge any wrong doing, he indicated that he was resigning so as not to “require the Commission to incur unnecessary legal fees.”

Governor Chris Christie responded that”RHONJ provided more proof that Albert Manzo is not sleeping on a cot at the Brownstone.”

As the patronage jobs in Passaic County dried up, the Manzo Family sought to sell their wares in Hudson County. Albie and Chris Manzo moved to Hudson County. In September, 2011,  Albert Manzo approached “his friend” Hudson County Sheriff Frank Schillari about implementing an auxiliary police program, appointing Albert Sr as a Special Chief’s Deputy and allowing Albie into the Hudson County Sheriff’s Department.

The Hudson County Freeholders Public Safety Committee was less than enthusiastic with Albert Manzo’s plan. They gave it a “thumbs down.” Freeholder Bill O’Dea said they were scaling back but if there came a time that they needed someone to head up the department it would be “a full time staff person.” Thanks but no thanks Manzo.

Welcome to Governor Christie’s world: where patronage jobs are eliminated and where the Manzo Family cannot rely on the taxpayers.

Wakile Calls Giudice Fans “Bunch of Crazies”

The sweet, old school, respectful 5th wheel of the RHONJ is showing the wolf in sheep’s clothing – fangs, claws and all.  Faux reality gave way to Wakile’s bitter angry Goddess.

“I’m a Goddess, Mama Gorga is an effen Liar, Juicy is a Cheater, Giudice fans are crazies” says Saint Katfish

From the inception of the Reunion, Kathy Wakile was combative, hostile and vicious. Host Andy Cohen reprimanded Wakile when she continued her tirade against Teresa Giudice’s mother. Wakile spent the Reunion screaming insults at Teresa Giudice over the other ladies like a fishmonger.

The reunion devoted less than 5 minutes on Wakile’s actual story line (or lack thereof), yet Wakile was able to throw so many nasty, condescending and ad hominem attacks at Teresa Giudice, Joe Giudice and the elder Gorgas, that it appeared she was channeling Richard Wakile.

Wakile was unable to pass up any opportunity to ridicule Teresa Giudice’s financial difficulties. Ironically enough the Wakiles failed to pay their bills before they joined RHONJ.  Stoopidhousewives provided an analysis of Wakile’s pre-RHONJ legal issues and their refusal to pay monies due to Exxon.  Exxon obtained a Judgment against the Wakiles in the amount of $113,000.

A few days before the taping of the Reunion, the Wakile’s landscaper served the Wakiles with a Complaint alleging that they failed to pay for landscaping services for a period between October 2010 thru October 2011. On or about September 26, 2012, National Paradise Landscaping won a judgment against the Wakiles in Passaic County Superior Court for those landscaping services.

When Wakile couldn’t conjure up anymore Giudice family members to ridicule, she took a parting shot at Teresa Giudice’s fans, calling them a bunch of crazies. Wakile enjoys taking a shot at Teresa Giudice for random tweets sent to her.

Wakile blames Teresa Giudice for a random tweet sent to JacLaurita

So let’s meet the Wakile supporters of which Kathy is so fond and ready to follow.

How can Wakile call Giudice fans crazies or reprimand Teresa for a random tweet from a third party over whom Teresa Giudice has no control while Wakile follows and communicates with the most vulgar, gossipmonger, sex for money porn site owner on the web? {SklyerStCoxx, host of Queenz Of Media}

Before Kathy Wakile calls Giudice fans crazies or blames Giudice for a random tweet sent by a fan, perhaps she should do some due diligence in whom she follows and promotes.

The 5th wheel also known as Kathy Wakile should understand that the crazies support the show and insulting fans is more abhorrent to sponsors than insulting children, puppies or sweet little grannies.

Manzo’s take Punta Cana by Storm: Legal Documents Reveal

In February, 2011, RHONJ travelled to Punta Cana for some fun in the sun that was to be shown in Season 3.  But on February 23, 2011, their fun was abruptly interrupted by the champagne spray heard round the world.

The RHONJ were partying and filming at the Moon Bar located at the Hard Rock Resort in Punta Cana, Domenican Republic.

The Moon Bar is where the alleged confrontation took place.

At approximately 1:15 am, when Teresa Giudice opened a bottle of champagne,  the spray allegedly landed on Yolanda Martinez causing her “eye irritation and discomfort.” When Ms. Martinez’ son in law, Adolfo Arreola and his cousin Jason Gomez confronted the cast, the resulting confrontation became the basis for the following lawsuit.

Bravo & Sirens Media were sued because they allegedly:

encourage, promote and demand that the cast of RHONJ engage in verbal and physical conflict with one another and members of the public, creating a culture, climate and/or atmosphere of confrontation, hostility and violence in order to attract viewers

Paragraph 26.

The Complaint alleges that while Arreola tended to Martinez, the cast and crew, physically attacked him. Paragraph 36. When Arreola’s cousin, Jason Gomez, ran to his aid:

members of the the cast and crew of the RHONJ, without provocation, brutally and savagely beat, kicked, punched, scratched, jumped on and smashed glass on the heads of Arreola and Gomez causing them to sustain severe pain and suffering and bodily injuries

Paragraph 38.

As if the incident wasn’t bizarre enough, the allegations move into crazy crazy crazy. . .

The Complaint alleges that Arreola and his family were transported to the police station where they were detained and denied medical attention. They were forced to sign settlement agreements and releases containing confidentiality clauses.  Arreola and Gomez allege that they were under “great duress, coercion and physical and emotional stress” when they signed the agreements. They claimed that they waived their rights because they feared for their safety.

As a result of the alleged coercion, Arreola and Gomez ask the Court to strike the settlement agreement so they can proceed with their personal injury suit against the named Defendants Teresa Giudice, Joe Giudice, Albert Manzo, Christopher Manzo, Greg Bennett, Albert Manzo III, Caroline Claire Laurita Manzo, Lauren Manzo, Sirens Media, Bravo Media.

Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation’s $18,000 Claim Against Signature Apparel

On June 22, 2010, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation filed a Proof of Claim against Signature Apparel Group, LLC in the amount of $18,000.

The Proof of Claim states that Signature Apparel failed to abide by it’s Marketing Agreement to the tune of $18,000.

The Marketing Agreement states that Signature Apparel was to pay the Susan G Komen Foundation 10% of sales on certain shirts with pink logos and/or insignia for a guaranteed donation of $18,000. Signature Apparel failed to make the guaranteed payment to Susan G Komen Foundation.

In fact, what the Susan G Komen Foundation did not know is that Signature Apparel was being stripped of all it’s assets as alleged by the US Trustee and less than 2 months after entering into the Marketing Agreement with the Komen Foundation, creditors asked the  Court’s to stop Signature Apparel from defrauding further creditors.

When Did Real Housewives of NJ become The Truman Show

Years before Big Brother or Real Housewives, a 1998 movie entitled The Truman Show introduced us to the bizarre world of voyeurism and reality TV.  In this movie, Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) lives his life unaware that he is on a giant studio set surrounded by actors posing as family, friends and townspeople.   Truman’s entire life is televised as he interacts with actors and is unwittingly supervised by an executive producer and crew.  Truman’s decisions, emotions and reactions are pure and untainted since he is unaware that he is being filmed.

As Truman begins to realize that all is not what it seems, the executive producer (Ed Harris) steps up his interference with Truman’s faux reality in order to maintain the farce and continue the ratings bonanza. The executive producer feeds lines to an actress posing as Truman’s girlfriend to keep Truman locked into his artificial world.  She delivers her scripted lines flawlessly:

The last thing I would ever do is lie to you. . . It’s all true. It’s all real. . . Nothing is fake.  Nothing  you see on this show is fake.

Doesn’t it seem like the women of RHONJ are using the same lines? Did Bravo hire Ed Harris to script Seasons 3 and 4?

As we watch RHONJ, we often cringe but cannot look away. Faux Reality promised us a sneak peek into the triumphs and struggles of real families and their friends. The reality is that these characters seem to have transformed their lives to perform for maximum ratings. They have now resorted to using tabloids, publicity and twitter to bolster and create faux reality. Some are better than others at working the spin.

Jacqueline Laurita recently revealed that  for the past 2 seasons  she has refused to share the two life struggles that have consumed her: her son’s autism and her legal financial issues.  Why would Bravo promise a sneak peak into reality and fail so miserably at delivering? When exactly did the purpose of the show shift from a sneak peak into the triumphs and struggles to a sneak peak into what they chose to share?

Why does Jacqueline get to hide her real life struggles while exaggerating those of Teresa Giudice? Realty TV? Not so much.

According to Bravo, Melissa Marco Gorga was initially cast as the witty, fun loving, stay at home mom who declared that she “lives the life that every girl dreams of.” It is unclear which girls Melissa polled before making such a statement, we have yet to meet girls that want to be the perpetual “VICTIM.” In fact, Melissa Marco Gorga’s whole life has been a study in contradictions. 

Let’s recast The Truman Show and follow the life of Melissa Marco Gorga. Melissa was born on March 21, 1979 to Donna and Carmine J. Marco.  In 1993, when Melissa was 15 years old, Melissa’s parents divorced after years of  [verifying information].  Melissa’s father died in 1996 when [verifying information].

Melissa was arrested for shoplifting in 1997, posted bond to the tune of $1,000 and immediately moved from Florida to New Jersey.

While Faux Reality wants to portray Melissa as a sedate second grade teacher turned happy suburban housewife, realty shows a Girl’s Gone Wild lifestyle of lesbian lovers, wild sex parties, sugar daddies paying for augmentations, and a string of lies that are easily proven.

At some point, Melissa Gorga commenced Jersey City University.  It is unclear where she lived or how she supported herself. The stories are inconsistent at best. [under investigation]  According to Melissa, she worked three jobs to support herself while going to college.

One of those jobs was at Looker’s Gentlemen’s Club. (Inside Looker’s as exposed by StoopidHousewives)  According to Melissa she was serving drinks to men for $100 tips. Unfortunately, Melissa contradicts the time frame; During the Finale, Melissa states that she worked at Looker’s for a week or so.  According to pay stubs, she worked from January 2003 to December, 2003.  Why the deception?

In or about October, 2003, Melissa met Giuseppe “Joey” Gorga. Melissa moved into Joey’s home by December, 2003.  Melissa graduated from Jersey City University in January, 2004.

During the Finale, Melissa told the world that she was a teacher, she taught “second grade!” Melissa must have forgotten that when FOXNY.COM posed the question to her on August 18, 2011 (less than two months before the Posche Fashion Show), Melissa responded that she never became a teacher because by the time that she graduated, she was already engaged. (See FoxNY Interview, Minute Marker 3:48, last video on stoopidhousewives story)

In an Interview dated August 18, 2011, Melissa admits that she never worked as a teacher. She claims that by the time she graduated, she was already engaged. In faux reality, engaged people don’t work.

Melissa Marco married Joey Gorga in August, 2004 and thus the dissent down the rabbit hole began to fool people into believing the fairytale that “she lives a life that every girl dreams of.”

Perhaps it’s time for someone to tell Melissa that The Truman Show is over and the story that has been written for her by producers of Bravo is just that, A STORY.

Jacqueline Laurita’s Opulent Lifestyle Funded By Creditors of Signature Apparel

Jacquelina Laurita seems to believe there is a material difference between seeking bankruptcy protection versus being forced into bankruptcy by creditors who are owed millions of dollars.

Faux Reality is the Lauritas have not sought personal protection from the bankruptcy court. The reality is that the reason the Lauritas have not sought such protection is because their alleged actions have been so heinous that the law does not afford them such protection.

A fundamental goal of federal bankruptcy laws is to give the honest, but unfortunate debtor an opportunity to “start fresh” when the burdens of debt become overwhelming. It is a right of Congress granted under Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution.  AN HONEST DEBTOR.

The law refuses to allow bankruptcy protections to extend to those found to have committed fraud, embezzlement, larceny, conversion, etc. The United States Trustee has charged the Lauritas with pilfering Signature Apparel, diverting, embezzling, converting millions of dollars to fund their lavish and opulent lifestyle.

According to the Complaint, in the years between 2007 and 2009, the Lauritas used funds as follows:

In addition to the aforementioned expenses, Chris Laurita was alleged to have diverted $2.8 million dollars for his personal use. The US Trustee has asserted his right to amend the Complaint to include additional charges once he completes the discovery process.

So perhaps Jacqueline Laurita should be more concerned about how her lifestyle was funded for the past several years and less concerned about voluntary versus involuntary bankruptcy.

RHONJ: Jacqueline Laurita’s Personal Exposure and Signature Apparel’s Creditors list $55 Million in Claims

UPDATED NOVEMBER 17, 2012

The Laurita Bankruptcy has been a source of speculation since it’s inception.  Faux Reality has not addressed the Laurita financial or legal issues on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.  In reality, the Lauritas are in the middle of an incredibly ugly and combative struggle for survival.   Creditor’s of Signature Apparel (Laurita’s company) allege they are owed in excess of $55,000,000, it is further alleged that the Lauritas drained Signature Apparel of it’s assets and fraudulently diverted the funds for their personal use.

Claims Register of Signature Apparel Group, LLC

The only meaningful articles concerning Laurita’s plight have been found on StoopidHousewives who reported the filing against the Lauritas, the admissions of fraud (by letter dated July 7, 2012, Chris Laurita admitted that he was not candid with the Court regarding the termination date of the $2.8 million dollar agreement with ROC Fashion) and the continued battle.

Jacqueline Laurita has been asked about the bankruptcy on two occasions: on Watch What Happens Live and at the reunion. Both times, her response was exactly the same, a canned answer that while technically correct, is false in it’s omissions.  Jacqueline indicated that the bankruptcy is not a personal bankruptcy, it was a forced bankruptcy filed by the creditors against the company, Signature Apparel Group to recoup their money. PARTIALLY TRUE

Jacqueline failed to disclose that Signature Apparel was forced into bankruptcy based upon  allegations that, among other things, the Lauritas fraudulently diverted funds from the company for their personal use in excess of $7,000,000.  (Case No. 09-15378)

The Court was compelled to appoint a Trustee, accountants, and attorneys for the protection of the creditors.  On November 3, 2010, the Trustee filed a Complaint against Christopher Laurita, Jacqueline Laurita, Joseph Laurita, Adeline Laurita and Anthony Laurita alleging fraudulent transfers of funds and asked that the Lauritas be held accountable due to fraud, embezzlement and/or larceny. (Case No. 10-04207)

Original Complaint was Amended on March 24, 2011

The Complaint states that Signature Apparel was founded in 2005 by brothers Chris and Joseph Laurita. Shortly after it’s inception, the Laurita brothers drained Signature Apparel of

all of its funds and assets in order to support the families’ increasingly opulent lifestyle of private jets, limousines, extravagant parties, premium automobiles, designer clothing, ostentatious home furnishings and lavish vacations.

Paragraph 1 of the Amended Complaint dated March 24, 2011.

The trustee further alleged that the Lauritas sought to liquidate Signature Apparel so there would be no money for creditors.  Signature Apparel transferred a license (to sell JayZ’s clothing line) to ROC Fashions, LLC for $2.8 million dollars. According to the US Trustee, instead of placing the $2.8 million dollars in the Signature Apparel account, Chris Laurita took the funds for services he claimed he rendered to ROC Fashions. The Trustee filed a case against Roc Fashions alleging that it conspired with the Lauritas to defraud creditors. (Case No. 11-02800)

So when Jacqueline Laurita claims that the bankruptcy is not a personal bankruptcy, she fails to mention that the U.S. Trustee personally charged her, her husband, three in laws with  fraud, conversion, embezzlement, larceny etc. and filed several lawsuits against persons and entities for conspiring with the Lauritas to defraud creditors.

On March 29, 2012, Judge Beck of the US Bankruptcy Court refused to dismiss the ROC Fashions case.   Judge Beck stated that the Complaint “alleges a very unsavory relationship between Roc Fashions and the Lauritas. And it alleges aiding and abetting some very bad behavior that damage the creditors of Signature Apparel.”  Page 16 of the March 29, 2012 Transcript. Judge Peck stated that “The allegations . . .  are frankly scandalous.” When the attorney attempted to minimize the issue, the Judge stated:

[T]he Lauritas conspired with your clients to divert 2.8 million dollars away from Signature Apparel. And the fact that your clients paid 2.8 million dollars to one of the Lauritas [Chris Laurita] is an incredibly bad fact.  And you know what? The affidavit doesn’t explain it; it doesn’t. In fact, what it does is puts a bull’s eye on your clients. 2.8 million dollars? That’s a lot of money.

March 29, 2012 Transcript Page 17

A Discovery Order was entered on August 13, 2012 in the lawsuit against Jacqueline Laurita and her family with the following dates:

  • Fact discovery completed by October 26, 2012
  • Expert discovery completed by February 22, 2013
A new Discovery Order was entered on November 16, 2012 extending the discovery dates:
  • Fact discovery completed by January 18, 2013
  • Expert discovery completed by May 22, 2013

What is most disturbing is the Lauritas apparently drained Signature Apparel of all it’s assets and reduced it to an empty shell, thus leaving the creditors holding “an empty bag of unpaid invoices.”  Attached is a list of some of the creditors that made up over fifty five million dollars of monies claimed to be due and owing:

  • Susan G Komen Cancer Foundation $18,000
  • Federal Express $14,300
  • American Express $$83,000
  • UPS $9,500
  • Ikon Financial $95,000
  • Artful Holdings, LLC $10,350,000
  • Studio IP Holdings, LLC $20,700,000
  • CitiGroup Commercial $200,000
  • Daihwa $456,000
  • Hitch & Trail, Inc. $3,699,000
  • Putnam Leasing $444,000
  • GiftTex: $96,000
  • Talful, LTD $4,750,000
  • Harvestway Ltd $5,051,000

It is unclear at this time if any of the aforementioned companies that were owed millions of dollars were forced to close and/or file for bankruptcy as a result of Signature Apparel’s inability and/or refusal to pay their debts.

Jacqueline Laurita needs to acknowledge the extent of her personal exposure. She seemed knowledgeable when discussing the Giudice bankruptcy, surely she knows her potential exposure where she is a named Defendant accused of fraud, embezzlement and larceny. Will she be as consumed about potential Jail Time as she was for her “friend?”

RHONJ: Kathy Wakile’s Forty Year Grudge

Kathy Wakile has been on The Real Housewives of New Jersey for two seasons. As we all know, Kathy is Teresa Giudice’s cousin (Kathy’s mother and Teresa’s father are sister and brother).

Kathy was cast as the warm stay at home mom, wife and homemaker. Kathy’s self serving tags describe her as sweet, old school and respectful. In Season 3, Kathy’s tag line was “People say that I’m sweet but I’m tough, so don’t cross me.” In Season 4, Kathy’s tag line was “We’re old school. We believe in respect.”

Faux Reality says Kathy Wakile is a sweet bystander who is often caught in the cross fire between Teresa and her sister in law, Melissa Marco Gorga. But reality shows a different person. . . Kathy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Kathy is far from the innocent bystander, she not only targets Teresa, she targets one of Teresa’s achilles’ heels – Teresa’s parents.  The following are examples of Kathy’s systematic and premeditated attacks on Teresa’s parents (without reference to the Wakile’s attacks on Teresa, her husband and the Giudice children).

Kathy’s subtle attempts to taint the viewer against Teresa’s father:

  • Kathy (through the use of her faux granny like mother) discloses a feud between her father and Teresa’s father which caused them not to speak for years;
  • Kathy encourages her mother to disclose that as a child in Italy, Kathy’s mother was separated from her parents and siblings to be raised by her aunt;
  • Kathy discloses that her father is responsible for bringing Teresa’s father to the United States.

Keep in mind that Kathy knows Teresa’s triggers. So now we come to the Reunion.  Once again Kathy Wakile comes with a play book. The other wives are of the belief that Kathy is in sync with their plan to embarrass Teresa and ultimately convince Bravo that Teresa is expendable.

Kathy intended to avenge her father and was unable to hide her scorn

But Kathy’s game plan is far more devious, not only does she want to ruin Teresa, but vindicate her father for the perceived slight that he endured at the hands of Teresa’s father.

Kathy’s first comment at the Reunion was to inject her unsolicited observation that Teresa was a nervous wreck during the Posche Fashion Show, thus implying that Teresa must have been guilty. Kathy’s next unsolicited comment was to join Caroline Manzo in halting Teresa from expressing her concern for baby Nicholas Laurita.

Fifty minutes into the reunion, Kathy Wakile finally becomes the focus of questioning. After exchanging jabs with Teresa, Kathy commences to implement her master plan.  Kathy’s ad hominem attack on Teresa’s parents was launched as follows:

  • Without any discussion about parents or inlaws, Kathy volunteers that Teresa used to call her to complain about her in laws;
  • Kathy then aims her fangs for the jugular vein and calls Teresa’s mother a fucking liar who allegedly spread rumors that Kathy had Lap Band surgery (a double play by insulting Teresa’s mother and further enraging Caroline Manzo whose daughter recently had lap band surgery);
  • Kathy then sinks to an all time low by calling Teresa’s father a coward;
  • Kathy further screams that if it wasn’t for Kathy’s father, Teresa wouldn’t be in this country.

Kathy’s actions and comments throughout two seasons (as highlighted by her outburst at the reunion) are not that of a sweet, old school, respectful housewife. They are the actions of a woman who feels that she has been crossed and is seeking revenge.

The Faux Reality of being caught in the cross fire between Teresa and Melissa has given way to the Reality that Kathy Wakile holds a 40 year family grudge. . .  Kathy  Wakile believes that Teresa Gorga Giudice owes her for her successes stemming from the day Kathy’s father brought Teresa’s father to the United States. . .  and Kathy will stop at nothing to collect.  This isn’t the sweet, old school, respectful housewife we were promised.
