Dolores Catania wants to leave kids out of conversation.In ET's exclusive first look at part three of the season 13 reunion, executive producer/host Andy Cohen brings up a fan question about how, at season 11's reunion, Dolores gushed over her son, Frank Catania, Jr. (aka Frankie), landing a job at a real estate company, owned by Teresa Giudice's now-husband, Louie Ruelas. «Frankie's no longer with Louie,» Dolores' ex-husband (and father of Frankie), Frank Catania, announces to the group from across the stage, as Teresa's brother, Joe Gorga, follows up to ask, «What happened?»«Um...» Frank starts to answer, before Dolores cuts him off to say, «He got another job and that was it.»Louie stares blankly ahead, while Teresa side-eyes her brother.
«That's not what I heard,» Joe fires back.The episode then cuts to previously unaired footage of Joe and Frank discussing Frankie's work with Louie. In the scene, Frank recalled Frankie being blindsided by Louie's company closing down without notice.
According to Frank, Louie wouldn't return Frankie's phone calls.«What happened, Louie?» Joe asks back on stage. «Why don't you tell us?» Louie replies. «I'd love to hear your narrative.»Joe's wife, Melissa Gorga, turns back to face him, telling him to let Frank tell it.
Dolores doesn't want anyone speaking, though.«Louie gave my son a job, he was very happy working with him,» Dolores tells Andy. «And I'm very thankful for Louie.»«I'm not saying anything first,» Frank mutters as Dolores speaks.
