Leah Messer Spends $600 a Week on Pills, Drug Dealer Claims

Rumors that Leah Messer is addicted to prescription drugs seem to surface every few weeks, and the newly-remarried mother of three has vehemently denied them each time. Now, however, a drug dealer who claims to be Leah’s personal connection says he has all the details about the Teem Mom star’s dangerous pill problem. “She’s picked up 30 to 40 pills at a time from me,” the anonymous supplier tells Radar Online. He adds that since she’s become famous, she sometimes employs a middle man to carry out the transaction. However, he also says she frequently gets desperate and picks up the pills herself. The dealer claims Leah frequently spends several hundred dollars a week on pills, and her own friends and family have discussed her addiction publicly: “I’ve seen Leah pop a handful of pills, chew them like they were candy, and swallow them,” says one relative who asked to remain anonymous. Leah justifies her pill-popping with complaints of a bad back, but the source says “it’s actually the pain from withdrawal that bothers her, not her back. She can’t do a day without opiates.” Insiders claim that Leah’s habit may soon cost her her children and husband. Last week, Jeremy Calvert accused Leah of cheating in a series of vicious tweets. Leah denied cheating , and the couple seems to have overcome that particular dispute, but friends of Calvert’s claim he’s since decided to leave his wife. “He doesn’t have an exact timeline, but he’s done,” says the source.

Dina Manzo Quits The Real Housewives of New Jersey: I Can’t Be Surrounded By Horrible People!

Ever since news broke that Jacqueline Laurita will return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey , reaction from fans and current cast members has been decidedly mixed. With Teresa Giudice headed to prison for 15 months , producers were left with few options with regard to women who are available and might be able to bring a tenth of the drama that Queen T brought to the table. Laurita seemed a safe – if not perfect – choice, but now it seems that adding her to the cast may have left execs with another vacancy to fill. Sources say Dina Manzo was furious to learn Laurita will be returning to the show, and now it looks like her anger may have prompted her to quit the series. Asked by a fan on Twitter if she had any interest in returning to the show next season, Dina promptly tweeted back, “NONE my soul can’t bear to be around terrible people.” Given the reports about Dina’s outrage over Jacqueline’s return, it’s safe to assume that Laurita is one of the “terrible people” she’s referring to. Of course, it’s possible Dina was fired and is now trying to save face, but either way, it looks as though yet another Manzo won’t be returning to the Housewives franchise. Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online at TV Fanatic to try and figure who will exit next. The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Cast Pics 1.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 14 Recap: It All Boils Down to This

Would Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano carry on the tradition on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 14, the final installment of 2014? By that, we mean exploding in epic fashion on a Real Housewives finale, as Teresa Giudice and her table-flipping ways so famously did in Season 1? The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Cast Pics 1. The Real Housewives of New Jersey New Season 6 Cast Photo Say hello to The Real Housewives of New Jersey New for Season 6. They are: Dina Manzo, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Amber Marchese, Nicole Mauriello and Teresa Aprea. The stage was set at Dina Manzo’s Project Ladybug charity fashion show, with THE RUMOR on everyone’s mind and the twins making sure Victoria is not invited. Teresa Aprea feels that “I deserve an apology” from her namesake. She says of Giudice, “Teresa, you just s–t all over my family. I would never do that to you. That’s why yours is getting destroyed now. Karma’s a bitch.” Teresa Giudice is headed to prison for 15 months for fraud, which you surely know whether you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online or not. Amber Marchese is a bit calmer, but after Jim Marchese caused such a fiasco in Boca Raton, she decides to go to the gala solo to avoid an encore. Smart thinking for her, but where’s the fun in that for us!? Giudice wonders why the twins haven’t reached out prior to the party, and muses that it’s because they love the drama, the cameras and the attention. Indeed. “I think we need to talk,” Teresa Aprea says to her Melissa and Nicole look on, telling her she should feel “ashamed” for repeating that rumor. Oooh, here we go! It is gonna be on now … maybe. 11 Teresa Giudice GIFs That Should Worry Her Fellow Inmates 1. Table Flipping Fiend Teresa Giudice is not gonna take any crap. Her table-flipping reputation will precede her in prison, thanks to The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 1. Teresa G. seems bent on keeping her cool. Aprea baits Giudice, but the latter doesn’t take it, and notes that Rino Aprea technically started the rumor since he told Victoria Gotti in the first place. Her co-stars bristle at that excuse. Teresa still stays measured, perhaps having been humbled by the past year, and eventually tells them, “I like you girls a lot… I wasn’t trying to hurt you.” They proceed to hug it out. Wow. Of course, the happy ending is foiled somewhat as we flash forward to October 2, when Joe and Teresa Giudice are sentenced to hard time in federal prison. “I feel like it’s not real,” said Jacqueline Laurita, who, along with husband Chris, learns the news with Teresa’s cousins, Kathy Wakile and Rosie Pierri. Nicole is unmoved, though. “You don’t mess with the legal system,” she says as The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 14 ends, “Choices you make in life, there are consequences.” Even for reality stars. 13 Classic Teresa Giudice Moments 1. Teresa Giudice: Table Flipping And now for the classic. Teresa’s face is priceless as she famously flips the table. Bravo. Bravo.

Melissa Gorga Reacts to Teresa Giudice Prison Sentence: Pray For Her…

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice have not always gotten along so well. But nothing brings a family together like a long prison sentence. Late last week, Giudice was sentenced to 15 months in jail for financial fraud, while her husband Joe Giudice received 41 months in the slammer. And last night, Gorga took to her Bravo blog to express sympathy for her sister-in-law/ Real Housewives of New Jersey rival. “Obviously this has been a very tough week. We are heartbroken for our family and especially those four sweet girls,” Gorga wrote of the Giudices’ four daughters. “Pray for them. No matter how you feel, I hope everyone is wishing their family strength and faith.” Teresa, who claims she did not understand that a plea bargain could land her in jail, tells the new issue of Us Weekly that she hopes to use her punishment as a “life lesson.” She plans to “teach” her children and the consequences of their actions through the illegal dealings of her and her husband. Speaking of those children, Teresa also says 13-year old daughter Gia Giudice is aware of what’s going on, but the three youngest (Gabriella, 10, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 5.) “don’t know anything.” Teresa Giudice begins serving her sentence on January 5, while Joe will then serve his once her time is complete. 13 Classic Teresa Giudice Moments 1.

Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga: The Feud is Over!

It was entertaining while it lasted, but Radar Online has now confirmed: the rivalry between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice is over. The sister-in-laws – who have gone at each other hard for many seasons on The Real Housewives of New Jersey – enjoyed a holiday dinner together over the weekend, with Gorga posting a photo of the event on Twitter and writing that the meal “makes me smile.” “You will NOT see any Teresa and Melissa fights this season on RHONJ. Those feuds are over,” an insider tells Radar. Signs of tension easing between Gorga and Giudice were there in August when the former said she has Teresa’s back , with Teresa and her husband facing 50 years in prison for fraud and other financial charges. Just a month prior to that, however, Gorga went off on Giudice for not defending her against cheating allegations. Still, this Radar source teases the next season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and says viewers shouldn’t expect more Melissa/Teresa fireworks. “The drama is going to come with clashes with the new ladies and not with these two families anymore,” according to this report. “They’ve put that all behind them. No one wanted to see it, it was getting boring and repetitive on the show.” Anxious to relive the fighting? Go watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online at TV Fanatic now!

Revenge Season 3 Premiere Recap: Fear

With a new season of red Sharpie marks and  haute coutoure  dresses,  Revenge season 3 is back! New to the show this season? Justin Hartley . Just what drama will another summer in the Hamptons bring? Read our recap below to find out! (And be sure to check out the  Revenge  review for a more in-depth discussion of the premiere.) Time to Swim: In the opening sequence, Emily, in a wedding dress, drinking champagne, gets shot twice in the stomach and falls into the ocean. And then she wakes up poolside in New York City. Dream? Flash-forward? Who knows? Not me. The Prodigal Son:  While everyone else has been everywhere else, Victoria spent the hiatus in the Hamptons with her long lost son Patrick. They rode horses. She played piano. Charlotte called her Lady Chatterly and Oedipus jokes abound. Charlotte! Charlotte! Charlotte!!:  Charlotte whines about how they no longer own a home in Paris and she found out at 2 a.m. after taking a shuttle from Brussels. She’s no longer pregnant and not all that mopey over Declan. She’s still whiny, pouty, entitled Charlotte though. The more things change, you know? Prison Break: Nolan’s out of jail. His hacked Carrion program finally ferreted out and delivered up all remaining members of the Initiative and exonerated him. So now he and Ems and the rest of everybody everywhere vow never to say the words “Carrion” or “Initiative” again. Ever. Just Jack:  Jack and Carl spent the winter visiting family members, but now they’re back at the Stowaway. Or at least Jack is back. Little Carl’s whereabouts are up in the air. He faux-apologizes to Emily for ignoring her, kisses her, then breaks her heart into a million billion pieces. Not like she didn’t  deserve it a little, but yeah. And she has until the end of the summer to ruin the Graysons and get the heck out of dodge or he’s going to expose her. So that’s fun. It’s Her Party: Emily throws a Memorial Day Summer kick-off party for the Hamptons and unveils Conrad’s Governor’s portrait just as he collapses thanks to something she put in his water. They all go to the hospital where tests show Conrad has Huntington’s disease and now he can’t be governor anymore. There go his plans for world domination. Teamwork: Emily and Victoria team up to take down Ashley, who tried to blackmail Emily. Meh. Wedding Bells Are Ringing:  Daniel and Emily set a date to get married. And Aiden returns with objections to their union. Objections which he takes to Victoria and not Emily. So that was nice of him. What did you think of the  Revenge season 3 premiere, THGers? Grade it now!   A B C D F View Poll »

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Rebuilding Jersey

It’s “Salon, Farewell” as The Real Housewives of New Jersey wrap up their season as everyone gathers at the salon. We recap the fighting and scary faces in our THG + or – review. And what kind of finale would it be without Kim D’s scowling face? Apparently the woman who resembles the crypt keeper scares Joe and Teresa Giudice too? Plus 20. But it’s Penny and Teresa who go at it first. Since Penny is claiming Teresa texts her, Teresa wants to see the texts. Plus 12 because for once Teresa makes a perfectly reasonable request.   Unfortunately Penny tells her, “I don’t save my texteses.” Or was that I don’t save Texas? Minus 18. My Jersey Housewives translator must be on the fritz. And Minus 30 because if Teresa’s voice went any higher it could break glass. Please make her stop. Then Joe Gorga gets in Johnny, Penny’s husband’s face about him sending mean tweets and at first he manages to hold his temper. Plus 10. Oh, but that doesn’t last long. Before you know it there’s enough cursing and screaming to remind me that this is indeed The Real Housewives of New Jersey . Unfortunately when one person screams, everyone screams and the cameras are dancing around so much it’s impossible to see what’s really happening. Minus 25. It’s actually kind of funny watching someone hold Kim D back and Caroline practically crying “I don’t understand how people are so evil.” in son Christopher’s arms. These two weren’t even involved in this conversation. Although Kim D does look a little like the devil. She could drive almost anyone to tears. Minus 15. Finally, Teresa decides to side with her family and tells the rest that if, “they wanna buy Milania hair products, tell them to go f**k themselves.” For this family, that’s considered progress. Plus 21. In the aftermath something astonishing happens. Teresa admits to her brother that she took pleasure in hearing people say bad things about Melissa when they weren’t getting along. Yes, I know it’s not much. She doesn’t say she started the rumors. She won’t admit she was involved at all…but for Tre, just accepting responsibility for this much is huge. Plus 40. Maybe it’s the Love Poison in the muddy water…oh I mean in the blk water. Teresa and her brother cry and hug and…is it horrible to admit I was a little bored? Haven’t we been here before? Minus 19. The season ends with everyone hanging out at the Jersey shore…looking an awful lot like family. Plus 50. Will it last? From the looks of the reunion previews that’s a giant NO …but this is The Real Housewives of New Jersey. What were you expecting? And did you catch the Joe and Teresa interview with Andy Cohen?  We’ll hit the highlights… Teresa doesn’t even know what their charged with. Joe claims he doesn’t know if he’s looking at 50 or 100 years behind bars. They haven’t told Gia that there’s the possibility they might have to do jail time. Melissa and Joe will not get their kids if they do go to prison. When asked whether they have lived beyond their means…Tre gives an emphatic no! We’ll see what else comes out in next week’s Reunion show. Episode total = +46!                Season total = -578!

Melissa Gorga Labels Marital Rape Support Accusations as "Disgusting, Horrible"

Melissa Gorga has responded to critics of her new, controversial book. With many readers believing the reality star is advocating some form of marital rape – due to a passage written by husband Joe in which he tells men that their wife “wants to be taken” – Gorga tells E! News: “That word [rape] is so disgusting to me and that’s horrible. Does Melissa Gorga Advocate Marital Rape? Melissa and Joe both talk about women being subordinate to their men in “Love Italian Style,” yet Melissa says critics are taken their words out of context. “My book is about mutual respect with your partner, for one another,” Gorga says . “It’s about honesty, it’s about loyalty, it’s about making your partner first in your life. Where that word comes into play, to me, is awful and disgusting, to be honest with you.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member also writes about wives allowing their husbands to yell at them (as a stress reliever), while also saying they ought to do housework (to “stay grounded”). “Listen, I knew it was going to be controversial, there was no doubt in my mind,” Gorga says. “But it’s about my marriage and what works for us. And it does work for us and I think there are some really great tips in there.” As for the advice she gives when it comes to the bedroom? “It’s about being aggressive and trying new things in the bedroom. That’s what it’s about.” Why anyone would care about Melissa Gorga’s take on this or anything else, that’s a whole other story.

Melissa Gorga Accused of Sexism, Advocating "Marital Rape" in Ridiculous New Advice Book

A sexist gorilla in Texas is making headlines this week for inappropriate behavior around females in his species. But this primate has nothing on Melissa Gorga. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members released an advice book titled “Love, Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage” on September 17 – and it’s being met with some major critical backlash. Melissa Gorga Advocates Marital Rape?!? Many are coming down on Gorga for the role she outlines for women in a marriage, pointing to various passages that appear as if the reality star is advocating “marital rape.” Take this paragraph penned by Melissa’s husband, Joe Gorga: Men, I know you think your woman isn’t the type who wants to be taken. But trust me, she is. Every girl wants to get her hair pulled once in a while. If your wife says “no,” turn her around, and rip her clothes off. She wants to be dominated. Women don’t realize how easy men are. Just give us what we want. Gorga herself, meanwhile, advises women not to say “no” to their man too often because “eventually he will leave you alone more than you wish he would.” She also says her gender should do housework to “stay grounded;” should be “eye candy” for their husbands; and should permit them to yell at them to “release stress.” The memoir only has two stars on Amazon and one reader summed up the feelings of many very well when she wrote on the website: “This book was painful. Shame on whoever told Melissa Gorga she could write. Not to mention that her ‘secrets’ are from another century. I’ve been married nearly 30 years. We still got it. And it has nothing to do with being my husband’s servant. It has to do with love and respect. Too bad the author of this drivel doesn’t know that.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: No Horsing Around

Leave it to The Real Housewives of New Jersey to turn a “Horse Whisper to a Scream.”  Read on as we recap who embraced their vulnerable side and who ended up looking like a horse’s ass  in our THG +/- review. Jersey is still in the house at the Mirval Resort and Spa and it may never be the same again. But psychic advisors and gong therapy aren’t what Melissa envisioned for her birthday.  “I’m done. I want a f**king cocktail by the pool in a bikini.” Plus 15. No one can say she’s not a girl who knows what she want. Everyone’s still recovering from the ghost whisperer when they all head out to see a horse whisperer.  Funny thing is, Wyatt the equine therapist reads these Jersey housewives and their hubbies like the comic book characters they are. Plus 22. As they head towards the stables everyone comments on how refreshing it is. It’s a healing place. Or in Joe Guidice words, “It smells like sh*t.”  Plus 7 for keeping it real Joe. We expect nothing less. Wyatt tells this motley crew that when they’re not being authentic, the horse can pick up on it. Energy is his language. I wouldn’t blame the poor creature if he took off at a full gallop and never looked back. Everyone thinks this is a bunch of hooey until Wyatt takes one look at Richie and tells him that he creates jokes so he doesn’t have to pay attention to what he feels. Plus 20. Nailed it. It also comes out that Richie has a lousy temper and yells at Kathy when he’s aggravated. Somehow the fact that he drives his wife to tears on a regular basis is a shocker to Richie even after decades of marriage. Minus 30 . OK. Show of hands…who thought Juicy Joe was taking a phone call from his mistress?  Yeah, me too but it only turned out to be Milania.  But the look on Teresa’s face made me wonder if she was worried too. The Gorgas and the Guidices can’t get the poor horse to raise his hoof. Not a good sign. But plus 27 to Joe Guidice for actually admitting that he’s scared about his legal issues and giving his horse technique another go. When Melissa doesn’t know how to handle the horse, she falls back on her instincts…or as Wyatt dubs it, her “whore on a stroll walk.” Plus 33 . This guy is good. He also explains that there’s a difference between being nice and being manipulative.  If you’re being nice you’re not expecting anything in return. Ha! When was the last time that happened between Melissa and Teresa? In one of the most touching moments, Albert opens up about being abused as a child and Wyatt terms Caroline Manzo’s support of her husband a “thing of beauty.”  Plus 22 .  Then Caroline turns around and handles that horse like a pro. The aftermath of the day is even more telling. Kathy realizes her voice deserves to be heard, even when her husband and the other Housewives seem to drown her out. Of course Teresa describe this breakthrough as, “Kathy’s having one of her Marcia, Marcia, Marcia moments.” Minus 13 Damn Teresa. Heaven forbid it’s not all about you. As the rest of the group walks away with the knowledge that sometimes the more vulnerable you are, the better off you’ll be, Teresa and Melissa decide the therapy was a waste time. They don’t have any insecurities. ……OK. I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop laughing. Or should I be crying because I can’t decide whether that is funny or sad. At least Teresa made the effort to approach Jacqueline. Jacqueline admits that Teresa is like the horse. She’s afraid if she gets too close she might get kicked. Good analogy. But if Tre were a true friend she should have told Jacqueline her hair was a mess on camera. Just sayin… At least Teresa got something out of the day.  What did Melissa learn? “That I can’t lift a horse’s leg.” So much for therapy. Episode total = +103!                    Season total = -343!
