'Jerseylicious': 2 Cast Members Fired, Then Hired

The last part of the Season 3 reunion special was filled with personal and business drama.

 

Salon jobs evaporated like hairspray in the atmosphere—only to have new positions appear just as quickly.

"Jerseylicious" stylists Tracy DiMarco and Gigi Liscio were fired for lining up jobs with another salon behind their employer's back.

They were canned in the final part of the "Wild and Untamed" reunion special that aired Sunday, wrapping up Season three of "Jerseylicious" on the Style network.

Cast members also rehashed an incident during Season three filming, in which stylist Olivia Blois Sharpe kicked DiMarco in the head while DiMarco was on the ground during an altercation at a club.

DiMarco said she wasn't impressed with Sharpe's apology for the incident because it came weeks afterward, and she said Blois Sharpe—a Montville High School grad who went on to star on the show—can turn her tears on and off like a magic trick.

At one point, DiMarco made a plea for an end to cruel comments about her online.

"These people know that I'm a good person," DiMArco said, gesturing to the cast members around her.

"But some people love to see if they can push your buttons," host Vivica A. Fox said.

DiMarco said people can and do push her buttons.

"They can," a seemingly desperate DiMarco said, looking straight into the camera. "You guys have won, OK. You won. Leave me alone. "

Blois Sharpe has said she's thankful she wasn't wearing a shoe when she kicked DiMarco and "that night honestly was one of the lowest points in my life."

"If Tracy had gotten really hurt, I don't think I could ever live with myself," she said.

DiMarco said she didn't remember the kick because she was disoriented. Subsequent tests showed she had a concussion, she said.

On the special, Sharpe said she snapped when DiMarco attacked her boyfriend, and because her anger toward DiMarco had been brewing since DiMarco said something hurtful involving her family.

"She put her hands on him and I lost it because, honestly, Mike, he's my world. And, like, if that sounds stupid then it does. But he is," she said.

"And there's been things that I've held back. Tracy had said to me that, you know, I need the love of the fans because my family doesn't love me," she added.

DiMarco and Liscio were canned by Gayle Giacomo, a Bridgewater resident who owns Green Brook-based Gatsby Salon, where they worked. They were welcomed aboard at the salon they were dealing with, a new salon to be opened by Anthony Lombardi and Cathy Giove.

Giacomo and her daughter Christy Pereira, also a Bridgewater resident, said they weren't happy people apparently were talking behind their backs.

"I mean, if you guys don't know where you want to be, I'll make the decision for you," Giacomo said. "I guess you're fired. You can go with Anthony and Mrs. Giove."

Lombardi said they should talk about it. But Giacomo seemed ready to move on.

"I'm a strong woman," Giacomo said. "I've gotten this far. I'll get even farther."

In my opinion I feel Gayle was wrong for what she did and how she did it. First she did put them in a position to think what's gonna happen to them and to me they were just try'n to cover there backs. They went where they thought was best out of fear. Gayle I think you need to look back at the film! I see where the girls were coming from and they did it with no disrespect to Gayle, in my opinion!!!

I think Gayle was right in firing them. Tracy has gone behind Gayle's back before, As for Gigi I love her I think she is a good person, I think she just followed Tracy, Gigi was scared that she would not have a job. Tracy needs to grow up and also change her look am sorry but she is way over the top, but I guess she thinks she looks good.
Tracy wants everyone to feel sorry for her we have all seen what a "B" she can be.
She is a know it all honey you don't know it all. The thing you had with Mike was like in 8 grade get over it, One thing I do have to say is Olivia kicking you in the head was wrong, and you can tell it was eating Olivia up she did tell Tracy she was sorry, but of course Tracy like always wants more. Also I hope Gayle hire's Gigi back

I think Gayle was right to fire them. Tracy needs to be knocked down a peg or two. Unfortunately, Gigi got caught in Tracy's immature actions. I think Gayle should hire Gigi back. Now, Anthony will have all the drama! Good luck brother.

Oh my Gosh some people need to get a mirror and leave Tracy's alone. Or I guess who ever you are should be careful about casting stones! This show goes for strife and upheaval or haven't you got a clue. Sheeeeesh! You only see what they want you to see and they think it makes bigger rating to have a war between these woman! To me it just make the show not fun to watch.
I do think that Gayle is shown to have given the wrong impression about her selling. Never once did I hear that she wasn't going to do this and when your job is on the line you have to think about you and not your boss. Rent gas utilities food and in a salon you have up keep hair stuff doesn't grow on trees and neither does makeup. They have a right to protect themselves and have a job. I really thought she would sell and that the new Jerseylicious would be about Anthony's new Salon. The show doesn't say Gatspy its says Jerseylicious. So when she made them go through the interviews I really thought she was selling. It was shocking to see her being petty and firing the women that way I really thought better of her. I hope she rethinks it cause if I'm going to watch that show its about Tracy Gigi Olivia Anthony Frankie and all their friends and family! Not just about her she is not what I come to watch. I like her and her daughter but I love the cast of the show! P.S. Not the drama!

I love the show and cast, I hate the way Tracy thinks the Gatspy is her"s . Tracy move back to your station remember you only work there ,Tracy's 15 minutes of fame is OVER. Tracy starts her ass's and elbows spinning into other members jobs and their lives. It's sad to see that Tracy has no life no wonder Tracy's world sucks. Gale did the right thing, Please Ms.Gayle stick your guns. As for Gigi I also feel sorry for but please remember Gayle took a stand last season to all employees . They are first Gatspy stylest . And she has heart, she understanding their needs.If something comes up (side job's comes along,they come to her FIRST and work it out , with respect to AVOID any drama.) Oh that's not what Tracy thinks is her best for her{ Tracy has make up drama and could care less who she takes down with her.) Gigi needs to take a big girl pill and work it out with Ms. Gayle if she whats her job back.But most important her life,Tracy has made her own bed LET her sleep (alone)in it. Ms.Gail is a mother, grandmother and friend. She has taken BIG risks. rebuilt HER own salon. She is very capeble of making decisions, And when times got tough she'll brain storm with her employees to keep people working decision making going on . AS for Billy's mommy he needs to cut the cord and take a big boy pill Billy start his own life if he has what it takes . With mommy dearest, Tracy and Miss, G.F
Oh Mommy Dearest it's NOT your show. Your 15 min of fame is also over.

Well all I can say is I stay in africa watchin the show mst time is kool, as 4 Tracy I think she is too over the top,shows off a lot and think she's pretty and she's not... Tracy shuld try and accept the fact dat Oliva is a good person she pretty,smart and kind. Tracy mst times acts like a snitch dat she's is, an example is goin behinde Gayles back.Olivia is the best and Tracy is just A liar and a veri bad person. So Tracy if u feel u can't stand Olivia quit ur job and Move on or hit ur head on the wall.

Tracy, why are u trying so hard to convince viewers that you are a better person than Olivia? We can see through you girl. All u do and think about is to hurt Olivia and the end it backfires. U always backstab and run her down even before Gail.Remember u showed that dumb head breilla luv cos u wanted to hit at olivia rit? Trac leave olivia alone and go get a life for urself. Plssssssssss grow up and work on ur looks cos its horrible! Favour from NIGERIA, Africa

Olivia is a sweet person.and I like tracy also but I wish they would drop the fighting and quit hating eachother..but tracy is immature by the way she always starts fights with olivia inside and outside gatsby salon and she should women up and apologise to olivia..that would make her a better person.

I think Tracy and Olivia are much alike, that is why they cant stand each other. Lets be real, if u were in both Tracy and Olivia's shoes, would like the girl that hates your guts and is now dating your ex that hurt u. Come on, these girls work together, has the same friends and go to the same clubs, somehow they are bound to explode. They should just resolve their issues, bury the hate and try to be civil with each other. The show shouldnt be about them only, we wanna see new drama, not the obvious.

Anyone can c that Tracy is insecure, inappropriate and insane. I agree with most comments posted that she is obviously jealous of Olivia and wants her life so badly and who would blame her if u had to look at that hot hippo mess of a thing in the mirror everyday who wouldnt want to rip out their eyes. Tracey bit of advice seek help you are a terrible person and trying so hard to point out other peoples flaws or weaknesses makes u nothing more than a bully which back to the beginning of my statement shows ur insecure, inappropriate and insane. Tracy you are far from perfect and if you were one of my 6 employees you would not have lasted 3 days let alone 3 seasons I really can not believe that just because you r getting a taste of ur own medicine, some1 dating ur ex or beating your ass ( go on Livi) u want to cry about it boo hoo grow up and actually try to believe in ur own hype and maybe u will do something with ur life oh yeah and try a new wardrobe hippie it does work for u full figures should be flattered not over emphasized supper size it sweetie!

Didn't Tracey date Olivia's ex Lorenzo first? And the only way Olivia found out was because Tracey swapped spit with Lorenzo in the Gatspy in front of Olivia? Tracey needs to stop. The only reason Tracey hates Olivia is cause she wants to be Olivia. Don't blame u Tracey I wouldn't want to look like an ugly tranny either. No wonder she's so B*TCHY!!!!!!!

Tracy is a mean, nasty, ugly bitch. You r not a nice person and your actions speak for it self. Olivia needs to beware of you because you seem crazy enough to maybe try to really hurt her. You scare me. I would hate to be the person to have to look overall my shoulder waiting for you to attack. Get help now.

Olivia is a kind person and doesn't know how to respond to someone who is evil...as Tracey! Tracey loves a show...it makes her feel good about herself! When in reality Tracey needs to grow up... She needs to understand the little things in life ...in order for her to mature! It's not always about you...Tracey. It must be so sad for you to wake up a miserable person and hate the happiness that others have...besides their beauty.
