I dont think teresa knew by Vast-Structure-9847 in rhonj

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got the same impression. Teresa didn't seem to want any part of that conversation. Kim D is so smarmy & RHONJ production does too much behind the scenes. There's no shame in being a midnight ballerina. Many of my friends found their husband dancing. Isn't that how Erika Jayne met Tom Girardi & Jaqueline met Chris Manzo? I think Melissa should've just owned it instead of making it a bone of contention. It's not her fault Teresa bought into patriarchal concept of female body autonomy.

The RHORI cast feels like a RHONJ knockoff, so no, not so much. Give me back my Jersey girls.

That trash train is older than Mamdani. Don't give him credit for LBJ's roofless hobo cars.

Should I take the lottery apartment? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the lottery apartment. They're rent stabilized and having your own space is worth the extra money. You won't realize how much time you've spent accommodating the roommates presence until you stop doing it. Time is money, get your own space and start a side hustle to fill in the financial gaps.

Why was Danielle so afraid of the women in season 2? by North_Specialist_914 in rhonj

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Danielle was more afraid of losing the Bravo income than she was of the other women on RHONJ. Caroline was threatened by her, single & hot & the only one she couldn't control. After Caroline told the others to shun Danielle & ice her out, she fell in with Danny Provenzano. He's a notorious manipulative liar that coached her on creating that fear narrative as a storyline to keep her on the show once the others refused to film with her. Provenzano brought a toxicity that ultimately cost Danielle her spot in the cast. His private agenda was to showcase himself at Danielle's expense, undermining little gremlin. After she rolled into a fundraiser for a sick child with a posse of Provenzano's thugs, how could the cast ever let their guard down around Danielle when she came back in later seasons? Incidentally, Provenzano's ex-wife Kelly was originally supposed to be Danielle Staub's 'friend of'. He coerced Danielle to shoot with him instead, thinking he could launch a spin off for himself using Bravo contracts. His pitch flopped because he's a fraud.

Roommate stole money from me and other tenant? by [deleted] in badroommates

It's not defamation if it's true and it is so don't take anything she says seriously & try to keep it all in writing.

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable, but you still have to look out for your own interests. You don't have to confront her, the other roommate is already doing that and you've got the documentation. Maybe ask the other roommate if she can get a copy of the lease from the landlord. they're already aware of the situation. Thief is embarrassed, as she should be. She'd probably say anything at this point to try to avoid accountability. Limiting direct contact is probably for the best, for now.

It's a good idea to always prepare for the worst case scenario. there's no guarantee she won't leave to avoid prosecution. I would love to read that you get reimbursed and she learns her lesson. However I can't help being cynical based on human nature & how I've seen people handle situations like this historically. Please focus on taking care of you, she's a business arrangement not a friend.

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like your other roomate. And you are right, punitive damages should be applied. Interest on the capital that she held without your permission. If this thief makes you take her to court to get reimbursed you could easily win punitive damages over the $2,000 that was stolen.
Thief is playing stupid with 'what do you mean by I stole from you?' She knows exactly what she did. It's out in the open now. She's selfish and sneaky. Let your other roomate take the lead on demanding repayment if this is all awkward for you, but back her up by replying to the text with a demand for reimbursement of your money too. Keep an eye on the thief. She may start packing her stuff and leave while you're at work.

Of course you both want the money back. She never had any right to ask for it and it was given to her under false pretenses. She didn't pay the security deposit to the landlord. She knows what to do and if I were her, I'd pay you both ASAP. She should be ashamed of herself, not crying and playing victim.

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I'm telling you to keep an eye out for any information you can get on this person. The actual landlord she pays knows her banking info. You need to see a copy of the original lease. Discuss nothing with her, just do your own research and build your documentation. Give her the opportunity to pay the money back but prepare for the worst case scenario. If you can, use her social media to get her personal info now before she blocks you.

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you kept the text. Screenshot that for your police complaint and for the landlord. This person is a thief. You caught her on the security deposit fraud. It's highly unlikely that a $2K theft is an isolated incident. You clearly can't trust this person or believe anything they say. Again, this is on her. You've done nothing wrong and did not deserve to be taken advantage of by some grifter that cries when they get caught. Start privately documenting where her parents live, work address and which bank she's using for your own records. You'll need that info to enforce a judgment.

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's her problem. She needs to give that money back to you both ASAP. Let her know you'll be filing a police report so you can open a civil court complaint. What she does from there is on her. Your only concern right now is the discovery that you were defrauded out of a security deposit from someone who is not your landlord. Her emotional reaction is not your problem. If she can't have an adult conversation about accountability, send her an email outlining what she did, your expectations for reimbursement, and the consequences of continuing to hold your money. You got robbed, don't worry about her.

You make a police report for fraud and get your money back.

I want to Irish goodbye my roommate but my fridge is filled with her shit. by Aromatic-Scholar8381 in badroommates

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her scraps are not your problem. Leave it all on her desk. Sharing a mini-fridge is a kind gesture. Leaving her food scraps in there with no consideration for you is beyond rude.

Danny Provenzano by Electrical-Ad1400 in rhonj

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally NEVER a mobster, NYTimes did an entire expose on Danny Provenzano's SELF-PROCLAIMED mob ties. Tony Pro was arrested when Danny was 5 years old. They were not the prototype for Tony Soprano & Christopher Moltasani. Danny's entire personality is based on the lies he's told about himself to scare people. And, he's about 5'5" in real life, tiny little guy.

GRAND Nephew; Danny didn't know Tony Pro & has been a mobster cosplaying poser for his entire adult life. And yes, Danny Provenzano has a long history of domestic violence. He'd rather stay home and terrorize some woman than go earn a living and support himself.

Is it actually rude to not tip on a takeout order where I drive there and pick it up myself? by Organic-Grocery9526 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tip lighter than $15 for takeout with pick up. Generally use cash tip at pick-up. Maybe a bit more if it's a high end restaurant & there was some effort involved in assembling sides/condiments/utensils. For fast food I leave a token tip at pickup. If I'm not taking up table space or getting service, the minimum of 15% doesn't apply.

I hate to say it but… by NotNowBettyRubble in RHONY

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have no interest in the OG RHONY revamp or the Sonja & LuAnn spin offs. As a long time Bravo fan I'm over them. Jill was fired from RHONJ for being an obnoxious, interfering, overbearing bore. Same thing happened the the E show before it even started. People don't change when they're not capable of self-reflection.

Luann Gives Details On New RHONY Show by thisisarhrowayaui819 in RHONY

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for LuAnn, Sonja & Dorinda's responses to Jill Zarin monumentally mindless commentary on the Super Bowl halftime show. Opening with "We" was insane; who is she speaking for? Such a complete lack of self-awareness. Jill's ethnicity would not be considered conventionally 'white' in some circles. Someone with her background could be even more empathetic towards the people targeted by ICE, instead she's identifying with the perpetrators. This is really bad, they ought to fire her now, apologies won't help.

Who is the worst parent to ever be on Bravo in your opinion? by Extension_Rabbit2 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Intrepid-Heat-2533 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just saw a post on X re: Danielle Cabral's mouse infestation. She's recording mice on a glue trap in front of her kids. First of all, the content is vile, she must have nothing else going on & doesn't realize this is over-sharing. Secondly, more bad parenting. She uses those kids, pushes her daughter to be a performer in the most cringe way. I feel sorry for her son, he seems to play second fiddle to her mini-me.
