This week’s episode of BRAVO’s Real Housewives of New Jersey was especially gag-inducing, due in large part to the ridiculous antics of Ashley Holmes, who, for the life of her, cannot seem to keep her eyes from rolling back in her head during normal adult conversations. Or keep her fingers off her cellphone keypad.
There is no way Jacqueline Laurita isn’t at the end of her rope. Not only is the reality star trying to figure out a way to leave the cast of RHONJ, but once again, her daughter is acting more immature than her two-year-old little brother.
During last night’s episode, as Ashley prepared to leave for her “trip” to California, Jacqueline and husband, Chris Manzo finally broke the news, to the tearful 20-year-old, that enough was enough and it was time to move out of their house.
We’ve tried everything. We’ve tried showing you love; we’ve tried showing you support…. Call one of your friends to get you and get out… You’ve got it all figured out? Go!
While Jacqueline and Chris have tried time and time again to help their troubled daughter land on her feet, Ashley seems unable to believe that her parents have her best interest at heart.
Everyone in my family just talks at me. ’We’re trying to guide you; we’re trying to help you.’ But they’re not. It’s kind of like, why do I have to do this by myself, just because my mom did?
Maybe it’s the magic of reality TV editing or maybe my perception is way off, but it seems to me that loving parents who’ve given you a roof over your head for 20 years and not one, but TWO brand new cars, deserve a little more respect than being bad mouthed in front of millions of viewers every week.
But that’s just me.
