Dolores, who is known for her straightforward and confrontational style, did not hesitate to make this story public on social media and caused a stir in the RHONJ fan community. According to a source close to the show, it all started when Dolores discovered suspicious text messages on Paulie’s phone. In them, he sent intimate compliments to a mysterious woman, believed to be the person he was seeing. “She is an incredible woman,” Paulie wrote in a text message, according to Dolores.
Dolores also released a video recorded at a fancy restaurant in downtown New York. In the video, Paulie and the woman are seen laughing and chatting intimately. “He told me he was on a business trip, but he was actually meeting someone else at a restaurant we used to call our ‘special place,’” Dolores shared in an emotional Instagram post.
A source close to Dolores revealed that she kept quiet for weeks before deciding to go public with the story. “Dolores tried to confront Paulie privately, but he kept evasive and refused to explain the texts and video,” the source revealed. “She finally felt she had no choice but to come forward.”
Paulie has yet to make an official statement about Dolores’ accusations, but a friend of his has come to his defense, saying that the whole thing was a “misunderstanding.” “Paulie and the woman are longtime friends, and they were just having a casual dinner. There was nothing fishy going on,” the friend asserted. However, the text messages and video have cast doubt on Paulie’s innocence.
Meanwhile, the RHONJ fan community is clearly divided into two camps. One side supports Dolores and calls for her to leave Paulie because he is not worthy. “Dolores deserves a decent man, not a two-faced guy like Paulie,” one fan commented on Twitter. The other side believes that Dolores is making things too complicated by going public with her personal issues. “She should have handled this privately instead of turning it into an online drama,” one dissenter said.
Dolores’ RHONJ co-stars have also been on the sidelines. Some, like Teresa Giudice, have spoken out in support of Dolores, calling her “a strong woman who will never accept betrayal.” On the other hand, some other cast members have remained neutral, saying that the two should talk things out instead of prolonging the drama.
The future of Dolores and Paulie’s relationship is still in question. An insider revealed that Dolores is considering ending the relationship. “She feels deeply betrayed and hurt. Dolores is not the type to forgive betrayal,” the source said.
