"Teresa told me that 'rumor' about Melissa when she first started the show," Laurita tweeted Saturday. "She wanted her out then. She plotted it. She played dumb on camera and even defended Melissa."VIDEO: Teresa starts a huge bar brawl

"There is even a lot more to the story that will eventually come out," Laurita added of Guidice, 39. "She's no good and yes ? she has stabbed me in the back plenty of times. I'm not so forgiving anymore."
