Did RHONJ fame change Teresa or did it reveal her?
Jacqueline (and iirc, Caroline, too) said that the fame changed the Teresa they knew. I have also seen others say that it just revealed Teresa’s true nature.
Season 1 Teresa is the most palatable and, honestly, the only season I was truly behind her 100%. Is this because it’s the only season her family isn’t mentioned during filming or did the fame really go to her head? I remember Juicy Joe saying that he’d never seen that side of Teresa flipping the table. The entire Gorga family said their issues were never as aggressive prior to the Christening.
BUT THEN during a S6 rewatch, I noticed when Dina was worried about the twins and Tre at her Ladybug event, she said in her head interview that she was nervous about the “old Teresa” coming back.
Maybe the fame just emboldened traits she already had. It’s something that I have been pondering during my NJ rewatch. What are others’ thoughts???
