Tre Giudice Solo

[Camera pans outside of Tre's house]

Tre: Alright girls it’s time for school!

Milania and Gabriela: See you later Mom!

[Hugs and Kisses each other, The girls leave, and Tre calls lawyer James]

Tre: Hey, the girls are off to school. How far away are you?

Attorney James: I’ll be there in 5 minutes.

Tre: Ok see you soon. [Hangs up the phone, Tre makes coffee]

Tre Giudice Confessional: My name is Tre Giudice and a lot has been happening in my life personally. My ex, Louie has moved out of the house. Today, my Attorney James is coming to talk about my options and the road I have headed.

[Doorbell rings, Tre opens the door and lets James in]

Tre: Hey, thank you for coming. Do you want some coffee?

James: Sure.

[Tre makes them both a cup of coffee and they sit at the table to discuss the situation]

Tre: So as you know I kicked Louie out. James, I’m so scared and this all just sucks.

James: Tre did you ever sign any documents or anything that had to do with a business agreement or Transaction?

Tre: No nothing I swear.

James: Is the house in his name?

Tre: Yes both of our names.

James: So I can have you sign these documents and I’ll send them over to his attorney and the courts. Are you sure you want to go through with this?

Tre: Yes I want to proceed and file for a divorce.

James: Do the girls know what’s going on? You’re going to have to tell them before the news gets.

[Tre tears up]

Tre: I'm telling them when they get home from school. Gia already knows everything.

James: We need to go over everything to make sure you are protected.

Tre: I can’t believe this all is happening. [Grabs tissue]

James: The news will be coming out soon as soon as these are filed. Also, you have to prepare for this lawsuit coming at this company for fraud. You have no ties to that business correct?

Tre: None at all.

James: I’ll get this done right away.

Tre: Thank you, James.

[Walks James out, Tre closes the door and cries]

Tre Giudice Confessional: Everything seems to be coming together. Then I find out Louie is in trouble with the law doing some shady things with his company. Next, he cheated on me with some random bitch in Florida when he was on a “business trip”. This is all too much. I just wanted to be happy.

Realtor: So this living area is about 700 sq ft. The entire apartment is 3,000 sq ft

Janay Price Confessional: This apartment is definitely a contender, all I have to see is the bedroom and closet.

Janay: Yes, very roomy for a New York apartment. I love it. [lays in bed and stares out the window] YES! I can just see myself butt-ass naked waking up every morning. Now, this is what I’m talking about. How much is this place going for?

Realtor: 4.5 million.

Janay: For an apartment this nice in the upper east side. 4.5 million is not bad. Can I put a bid on it?

Realtor: Yes. Let’s head back to the office and fill out the paperwork.

Janay Price Confessional: I am in NYC and ready to start a new chapter. Today, I am meeting with my Auntie Jean, and she is going to introduce me to one of her friends from NYC.

[Janay sits at table]

Jean: Hey Janay. This is Jen, she's a friend of me and Tre.

Janay: Yes. Auntie!

Jen: So ladies... [dramatic music plays] Jean: Yes?

Jen: Did any of you get an invite to this event soon?

Janay: Yes I’m excited to meet some of the ladies. I heard some are very messy.

Jen Aydin Confessional: I don't know the ladies quite well. However, some of them are featured in Forbes magazine and others are featured in trashy news outlets like Radar Online.

Jen: So Jean, what has been going on with you lately?

Jean: I’ve been wrapped up in this custody battle with my baby's father. He’s a deadbeat, so I'm taking him to court. I'm thinking of using the child support checks to open up another business.

Jen Aydin Confessional: I feel so bad for Jean... Ever since I've known her, people have been trying to take her kids away from her.

Jen: Yessss, Jean! Stack up those coins!

Jean: Janay are you excited to meet the girls?

Janay: I have high hopes. I don’t know any of them [laughs]. Well, I know Tre [laughs] She’s amazing.

Jen: Well tonight will be the perfect opportunity to get to know our new.... "friends"

Janay: I'm nervous [sips drink].

Janay Price Confessional: I have high hopes, but if these ladies are anything like what I dealt with before, I may have to put a guard up.

Jen: Don't be! I'm sure they are nice... I hear there's a "granny" in our friend group [Jen smiles]

Jean: Uh Uh!

Janay: A granny? Well I looked up some of the names and they all seemed a little… mature

Jen: Yess, Janay, we are dealing with seasoned ladies up in here... At least we can take advantage of the senior discounts when we travel [giggles]

Janay: Well ladies, I enjoyed meeting with you two. Hopefully, I leave with a bid on my first NY home

Jean: [Raises champagne for Janay} Cheers Niece!

Janay: [raises glass} Cheers!

Jean Burruss Solo

Jean Burruss Confessional: It feels good to be home. After being bicoastal for two years between here and Hidden Hills, I miss being in the city. Lately, me and the father of my child, Jamie, are struggling to Co-parent mostly because he refuses to parent so it has come to the point where a judge needs to be involved.

[Doorbell rings and answers it]

Jean: Auntie Beth!!!! [hugs her]

Jean Burrus Confessional: I haven’t seen my aunt in a long time so I’m happy she came over.

Jean: I just put Dorit down for a nap, how have you been?

Beth: I've been good baby, how about you?

Jean: I'm so stressed out with all of this mess going on with the twins and Jamie. [starts tearing up] I mean… I didn’t want to have to pursue full custody and put him on child support, but when you’re not showing up as a father I have no choice.

Aunt Beth: I have no idea why use was even fooling around with the man in the first.

Jean: [rolls eyes]

Jean Burruss Confessional: I love my Aunt Beth, but she always tells me "I told you so"every time I make a mistake.

Anna: So as you may have heard Grace will be retiring this year.

Ari: [gasps] When was this decided?

Anna: Rather recently and rather quickly. Ari, I thought long and hard of a worthy replacement and there is no one I trust to do this job more than you.

Tre & Kuren Meetup

[Camera pans around Tre's penthouse]

Tre Giudice Confessional: I’m inviting my friend Kuren over. I want to tell her the news about what’s been happening personally before everything comes out in the blogs.

[Kuren Sharapova arrives]

Tre: Hey girl it’s so good to see you. [hugs]

Kuren: Hey girl how are you?

Tre: I’m doing alright I guess. Let me get you some wine. So how have you been? What has been going on with you?

Kuren Sharapova Confessional: Tre is one of my very good friends. I would always see her at fashion events when I came to New York fashion week while I was playing in the US open. She’s been a good friend of mine for a long time and I always make time to see her and her girls.

Kuren: Girl I’ve just been going to events in New York and I realized since I love fashion and I wanted to start a fashion brand, I might as well move here. I’m also dating this cute hedge fund bro who lives in the Financial District. What's tea with you?

Tre: Oh I love that you know I’ll support your brand and get wait to meet the guy. So I have some news. It will be coming out soon but I filed for divorce from Luis. [KUREN GASPS]

Tre: [grabs tissues] I found out he was cheating on me with some random bitch in Florida.

Kuren: Random bitch? How’d you find out?

Kuren Sharapova Confessional: Tre just can’t win, can she? That lady has been through it all. Jail, divorce, friend drama, family drama. I hope she catches a break soon and finds long-term and stable happiness

Tre: He was in the shower. His phone kept going off one night. So I opened his phone and saw the messages. Kuren: He’s disgusting. How dare he cheat on the most amazing woman he’s ever met? I’m so sorry girl. Did you guys sign a prenup before you got married? Tre: I did. However, that is not the only thing. He is in trouble with the law. Something to do with his company. Idk the charges yet because he not telling me anything so I’m waiting for that to come out in the press as well. I just can’t catch a break. Kuren: Hopefully, this divorce happens quickly then so you don’t get wrapped up in the legal mess for being married to him. This is why I have yet to marry a man. I have trust issues [laughs]

Tre: Right, I don’t think I’ll ever get married again ever and have my daughters go through more hell. I’m just over it.

Kuren: Don’t say that. I know it’s hard right now but keep your hopes up! You’ve gone through it all and you’re still here in this lavish penthouse. You’ll get through this.

Tre Giudice Confessional: Kuren is the only one in this group of women I feel comfortable talking to about all this. She always had my back. She never judges me. I can’t say the same for the other girls.

Kuren Sharapova Confessional: If there’s anyone that can handle situations like this, it’s Tre. She’s the strongest woman I know. When it came out that I was taking performance-enhancement drugs, she was the one to help me get through the backlash. She’s the queen of dealing with scandals. Kerry Washington studied Tre to find inspiration for her character on the show Scandal.

Kuren: If it helps you feel better, I brought a basket of my candy hun. There’s enough for you and the girls. And you know you can rely on me whenever hun I’m here for you.

Kuren Sharapova Confessional: That’s right I do have a candy line. Make sure you shop Sugarpova, we have a website and our candy is available at most candy stores and tennis shops.

Tre: Thank you so much. The girls will love this. I’m just trying to prepare myself mentally for everything that’s going to be coming my way. Some of these girls I know are going to come for me.

Kuren: Girl you worry about your girls and I’ll handle the birds who have the most to say. I have your back always

Tre: appreciate that and you know I’ll flip a table on these bitches for you [laughs]

Kuren: Yes honey the dream team [claps hand with Tre] Well girl I have to get going. This was a nice chat. Text me if you need me.

Tre: Thank you for coming and if you can come to the Paint 'N Sip I’m hosting I’ll text you the info.

[Hugs as walks Kuren out]

Kuren: Oh yes I'll be there!

Sip N' Paint Event

Tre Giudice Confessional: Tonight I’m inviting the ladies to a Sip N’ Paint. We will be painting and looking at nude men. We all love men in this group. Well most of us [laughs]

Janay: [walks in] Hello Tre [hugs her]

Tre: I know that's right Janay, hey honey.

Janay: Tre thanks for inviting me. It looks delicious here [snickers].

Tre: Girl I got my eye out on that one over there [Points at the man with the big package]

Janay: I see [pulls glasses down a little].

Janay Price Confessional: I see naked men and alcohol. That makes a good night to me... Too bad I like women [laughs]

[Aaliyah walks in and Janay sees her]

Aaliyah: Hello ladies [looks around] Ohhhh this is my type of event...

Janay: Tre, this is my friend Aaliyah

Tre: Hi Aaliyah nice to meet you.

Aaliyah: [shakes Tre's hands] Hello, nice to meet you.

[Kuren and Jean arrives]

Kuren: Hello ladies [Flips hair]

Tre: Hey Kuren!! Ladies this is my good friend Kuren.

Aaliyah: Nice to meet you, I'm Aaliyah.

[Jean walks in]

Janay: Hey Auntie Jean.

Jean: Hey niece!

Tre: Hey Jean sister, how are you?

Jean: I'm doing good Tre, thank you for asking.

Kuren Sharapova Confessional: Did I hear that fool called her "Auntie"?

Tre Giudice Confessional:

Producer Peaches: On a previous show you and Jean were at each other throats. Where do y'all stand today?

Tre: Yes, well we’re good. She is like a sister. She still gets on my nerves but hopefully, this is a fresh start for us.

Janay: So what are we painting?

Aaliyah: D**ks I guess.

Janay: [laughs] I'll paint ass instead.

Aaliyah: I keep forgetting you don't like d**k.

Kuren: Janay, You like girls?

Janay: I do.

Kuren: Alrighty then [giggles]

[Janay sits with Jean and starts painting]

[Tre sips her drink and paints]

[Jean starts painting]

Kuren: Jean honey what's going on? Your hands are shaking while you paint.

Jean: Girl your painting looks like a chode. Mind your business.

Kuren: The dick in front of me is a chode so I'm glad I have accuracy.

Kuren Sharavpova Confessional: Jean is dressed like a toddler, but shaking like an old lady. This is very strange.

Tre: Jean, how have you been girl? You didn't return my call the other day.

Jean: I've been good. My custody case is coming up though. I'm very stressed out about that.

Aaliyah: You trying to get custody of your keys?

Tre: Her keys!? Did you drink already?

Jean: I'm filing for full custody and putting Jamie on child support. So I can open a restaurant in Dorit's name. He hasn't seen Dorit in eleven months. He can schedule his visit.

Kuren: Is that why you're shaking? You're stressed because of custody issues.

[Aaliyah GASPS... Janay tilts her head]

[Tre is distracted by a naked man walking past and brushing up against her arm]

Jean: I'm not used to painting, but thanks got your concern Kuren.

Kuren: "Not used to painting?' okay girl. [laughs]

Janay: What's funny? [looks confused]

Jean Burruss Confessional: I’m being very open honest and nice, but this lil white girl better keep it on the playground.

Kuren: It’s funny that a known songwriter who [coughs-] writes songs, is shaking while painting. A pen is not much different than a paintbrush.

Kuren Sharapova Confessional: Is it stress? is it drugs? Are you menopausal? What is it, Jean?

Tre: What's the problem?

Aaliyah: OMG Jean, Kuren is coming for your neck, Whew.

Tre: Aaliyah girl... don't do that.

Kuren: I’m just concerned with Jean. I don’t understand why she was willing to share with the girls but not me.

Jean: Kuren.... calm down.

Kuren: I’m very calm honey. I’m just over here painting this chode like you said I was.

Jean: Ok well you stick to that honey.

Tre: She is calm Jean what’s wrong should we go talk?

Jean: She's being very shady and unprovoked.

Janay: Tre, she's being rude.

Tre: Y’all just need to give her a chance. Get to know her don’t come for my girl's neck.

Kuren: I’m not being rude I’m trying to get to know her and she’s being guarded with me. Maybe she’s hiding something I don’t know but that’s on her [shrugs shoulders]

Jean: How am I being guarded with you when I’m opening up about a personal issue going on in my life?

Janay Price Confessional: I’m gonna let Jean fight her battle, but that frail bitch better keep that energy away from me.

Jean: What do I have to hide sweetie?

Kuren: You weren’t open until someone else asked you. I asked why you were shaking and you said to paint my chode. I don’t know girl you tell me. Anyways it’s not that deep. There are women at this table who have more important things to worry about.

Aaliyah: Oh my god, that was rude Kuren.

Janay: [scoffs at Kuren]

Tre: Yes ladies I have some news I need to share with you. Louie and I are getting divorced. It’s a lot going on I can’t get into every single detail right now. But he was cheating.

Jean: BASTARD!

Aaliyah: Awww are you okay?

Janay: Mmmm.

Jean: I’m so sorry Tre. Such a shame for that red hen to break his vows. We are taking all his money

Aaliyah: Well damn he was cheating on you and you look like this!

Tre: I guess I wasn’t enough for him

Jean: Don't say that.

Kuren: You were too much for him to handle. He didn’t know what to do with such a beautiful and successful woman.

Jean: They don’t cheat because of us. They cheat because of them.

Tre: We talked on the phone today and he was going in on me. Saying "Who's going to want you at your age! You have 4 daughters!" and I mean I guess he's kind of right.

Kuren Sharapova Confessional: It's weird how none of the women were grateful and having fun at Tre’s event, but when she announced the divorce it’s suddenly “aweeee friend it’s okayyyy”… I peep the fakeness in this group.

[Janay sips drink]

Kuren: Janay you're awfully quiet.

Janay: This isn't any of my business.

Kuren: Well you could show a little more support.

Janay: [sips drink] I support the way I do, and you can support the way you do. [smiles]

Jean: Excuse me, but you did not show support for my situation, so don't chastise Janay

Kuren: No need to get defensive. Just do better is what I'm saying.

Janay: Who are you to tell me to do better>

Tre Giudice Confessional: Janay is being a little strange tonight.

Kuren: -[ooks confused at Jean] I'm Tre's friend. And I feel you could do better. It's not that hard to let someone know you're there for them

Janay: You walked in here with that cheap ass Target outfit, but have the nerve to pass judgment. Excuse yourself from this conversation. [Dismisses Kuren]

Jean Burruss Confessional: We’re here to support Tre. What Janay is doing is not important. Kuren loves to throw rocks and hide her wrinkled hands.

Janay: This basic bitch needs to learn to keep it cute with people she doesn’t know.

Tre: Janay come on... that was uncalled for.

Aaliyah: Whew child.

Kuren: I am the conversation girl and you’re mad. Stay bothered [sprinkles paint at her with my paintbrush].

Janay: And I have never been married. Kuren maybe you couldn't keep a husband so I understand why you would show more compassion. However, I’m not you. I can keep my relationship.

Jean: Excuse, but don't provoke anybody like that, what the hell is wrong with you?

Kuren: I’ve never been married either. Showing compassion is not that hard girl, you don’t have to be married to understand a broken heart.

Janay: Well I can’t relate [crosses legs and sips drink] Anyways Tre, I am sorry that you’re going through this.

Tre Giudice Confessional: Janay needs to keep it cute. Like she shows no emotion toward my situation and now she attacking my best friend. No ma’am not happening.

Kuren: That's better.

Jean: Girl Shut the F up.

Janay: Be better [smiles].

Tre: Thank you Janay. I guess.

Kuren: I'm always better. I'm the best [flips hair]

Janay: [sips drink] Bitch you are unknown.

Kuren: And you are?

Janay: The bitch you're worried about.

Tre: You're really doing the most right now, Janay.

Janay: Why are you bothered Tre?

Jean: My niece did not do anything. Your friend has been starting all night.

Janay: You need to check this bitch over here [points to Kuren]

Jean: She tried me and then she tried Janay. She has no respect.

Kuren: I’ve simply asked questions that were met with hostility and passive-aggressiveness.

Tre: Well Jean needs to check you! Isn’t this your niece? Set that bitch straight!

Janay: [stands] Who gone set me straight? [looks around] I see no one.

Aaliyah: Okay, let's all Calm down ladies.

Janay: I'm Calm.

Kuren: I agree Aaliyah, this is getting out of hand.

Janay: Jean don't waste your time [packs purse]. I'll do these basic bitches one better. I'll exit this miserable ass event. Tre, it's unfortunate that your graveyard pussy couldn't keep a man. I hope you finally find happiness alone.

Aaliyah Long Confessional: That was funny as hell [laughs intensely]

Tre Guidice Confessional: Janay was being shady and rude and I’m the one with the problem. This bitch doesn’t who she messing with.

Jean: What is your problem? She did nothing to you.

Kuren: This is why I called her out. I knew she was feeling some type of way about you Tre.

Tre: Jean she was being weird towards me and rude to my friend are you kidding me?

Jean: Your friend is disrespectful. You jumped into her and Kuren’s argument which Kuren started. I don’t see why you guys have a problem with this cheap hoe.

Aaliyah: Kuren you start attacking her out of nowhere.

Kuren: Kuren Kuren Kuren. I’m the name on everyone’s lips right now. If I see something imma say it. If your hands are shaking imma say something. Now let’s move on.

Aaliyah: We are just saying, babe.

Tre: Whatever this over goodnight ladies, Thank you Aaliyah for coming. Kuren let’s go, we can go enjoy our night somewhere else.

Kuren: Yes it's time to wrap it up.

Jean: Rusty ass bitch.

Aaliyah: Jean let's go eat.

Tre Giudice Confessional: I’m very disappointed in Jean and Janay's actions tonight. I won’t forget this.
