Is Jaq insane? - The Real Housewives of New Jersey (2009) Discussion

[–] kerri757 8 years ago

Yes, I do think there is something wrong with Jac. She is extremely childish and seems to have arrested development. She throws tantrums like a childish brat and screams and pouts. Even when she is in a good mood and tries to be funny, she still acts like a bratty child and thinks she's so cute. Her affect is off.

I think there is something wrong with her also. She has a smile on her face during fight with Robin. At first I thought she was joking around or something.

That smile made me think that most of what we see is scripted. Especially last night. It just didn't seem real. I think Bravo is trying to pull one over on the viewers. There are no storylines, so Bravo has to make some up.

Maybe you are right, Karma. I agree that Jaq seems unhinged, but they all do!! Except for Dolores. In this case, given that they all act like adolescents, I could see where Jaq was coming from. I wish she'd stop needing to be Theresa's friend. Surely she could find some "goofball" idiot to play with who wasn't so two faced and emotionally stunted? Maybe she should advertise for one.

I don't think she is insane, but I think she is TERRIBLY jealous. She wants Theresa all to herself and can't stand that feeling is not reciprocated. She lets her emotions get the best of her and she lashes out. She really does love and care about Theresa (she cries whenever she thinks about her in prison) and just can't stand that she has other friends. And that her relationship with Melissa got so much better.

I just feel bad for Chris in all of this. How embarrassing for him.

Chris should be ashamed of himself, and embarrassed of his and Jaq's roles in the latest nonsense.
I realize they want the Bravo paycheck, but no amount of money is worth giving up your integrity.

I guess he is used to it by now. He's a good guy and stands by his wife.

By defending that crazy behavior Chris is not helping her. He told her that she was attacked when it was she who was attacking Melissa and Teresa. How dare she call Teresa criminal? She confirmed her true feelings and that she will never care for Teresa.

Teresa paid her debt to society as assigned to her per the law and a judge. Jaq has no right to call her names or judge her now.

It seems her feelings are so close to the surface, I wonder if her son's diagnosis of autism has strung her too thin. I don't blame her, but I think she is stressed to the maximum. Perhaps she sees Teresa as having gone through so much then returning to her "regular" life, while she must struggle on, seeking help for her darling son, in the face of her financial struggling and selling their home.

Just my guess.

Chris is an enabler! Its so obvious that they need Bravo paycheck. I think Jaq suffers from low self-esteem and codependency. She comes off creepy to me. I do not think she is a good friend and acts like a spoiled child; she also has a Love/Hate thing going on with Tre stemming from jealously. I think the REAL reason is she acting like a nut is because its been claimed that she use to be a stripper. I think she deeply ashamed of it and trying to control that hoping it won't come out. I also think she is jealous that Teresa's youngest daughter is normal, unlike her son who has autism. She really thought her and Teresa kids would grow up together. I believe since she feels her life is not the way she pictured it, she wants to bring Tre down to her level so she can feel good about herself. It appears she has anger issues. She very vindictive too. She really is living in a glass house. Also, I think she secretly do not like Siggy, even before the crazy trip to Vermont. I get the impression she thinks she is annoying

Yeah, I not buying that she does care about her. She cares about having a job (RHWNJ)and making money. All she's here for is to play the victim and cause drama. If you truly cared about someone, you wouldn't call them a criminal. Sure she's jealous too, but I don't believe for one second that she truly care about Teresa.

[–] DonutLover 8 years ago

But Theresa is/was a criminal. And Jaq was probably a little buzzed, worn out from caring for her special needs son, has the stress of dealing with a Theresa in her life (who unfortunately she cares about)and whatever little mental vulnerability of Jaq's thrown on top of it, I don't think it's the worst thing she could have said to Theresa. It was not Jaq's finest moment, for sure.

However, on the bright side, it brings drama to the show and ensures a paycheck. Guess they need that money for their son. In that way, perhaps Jaq is being a good mom by acting this way? I was on her side in this one.

I understand that she was a criminal, but if someone is truly your friend you wouldn't throw it in there face (multiple times. Her being buzzed (which I don't think she was, as this fight started at the beginning of dinner) isnt an excuse for her saying those things. If having Jaq in her life stresses her then she shouldnt have her in her life. I dont buy it at all. Maybe she use to care about Teresa, but not anymore. Jaq has done nothing but act crazy all season and this is coming from someone that has never really cared for Teresa and use to like Jaq. Jaq is doing her job and trying to secure her place for next season by causing stupid drama. I'm all for alittle drama, but the crap she's doing is dumb and makes no sense.

No way would I be on Jaq side on this, she literally was the one that caused it all, telling Robyn to "rage on her a@@, then went and physically sat on her. then the next day she acts as though she doesn't feel comfortable around her. Really, you were poking and poking her. One of these days she's going to poke the wrong person.

I know, and it's all just opinions. I never liked either one of them, to tell you the truth. I just see Theresa as being emotionally/mentally arrested at like the age of 12 or 13. That's really hard to deal with, and that's what I meant with the stress for Jaq of having Theresa as a friend. It's like trying to have an adult relationship with a baby.

I honestly did not see the episode yet, that was previous, where Jaq got into it with a "soldier". Is that girl really a soldier? Because in that case she could surely kick Jaq's ass, ha ha. I don't think Jaq acts any worse than Theresa, Melissa, Daniel, etc. They are all crazy! I like the new women though. I think that a real weakness in Jaqueline is that she seriously does care about Theresa, and that's a major flaw. Like being addicted to a brain damaged abuser.

[–] kem7696 8 years ago

No I dont think she was really a soldier, she was just calling her Teresa's soldier.

[–] DonutLover 8 years ago

Jaq really does need to move on, and replace Theresa. Theresa is not worth any of this trauma. Theresa's just on her little high horse now because she knows she's the "queen" of the show. But, if she suddenly lost all her money, and had to move into a little rental on top of a pizza parlor and drive a small used car, she would see Melissa disappear in a New York minute. In that case, I would hope that Jaq would shun her too. It's embarrassing for Theresa's kids, I'm sure, to see their mom act like an emotionally stunted fool. Hopefully this will give them character, as they grow, and have more sympathy for people like Theresa than I have!

I feel sorry for Chris too because he knows Jaq should just find another best friend. One who is not the devil.

She is a very angry, bitter, immature, jealous woman. All those traits together make for one nasty person!

Apparently so b/c I think everyone else know Jaq is crazy and is causing drama when there doesn't have to be any.
