RHONJ: Jim Marchese Is Refusing to Pay for His Sons College Because He is Gay

Amber and James Marchese are ghosts of RHONJ past. These two love to be in the press for anything, except probably this.

Jim and Amber Marchese were on RHONJ for a season before getting fired for being both awful and boring at the same time.

James Marchese, son of Jim Marchese and his first wife, Rebecca, has been accepted into Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut.  Apparently, Jim won’t pay for James to go to school because he came out as gay.

For clarification’s sake,  James Marchese is actually Michael Marchese.  He is using the name James in the article linked below.

The Instinct article about James says his stepmom is the one that outed him as gay while snooping through his phone.  That would be Mrs. Amber Marchese. The article says he wants his father and step-mother to remain nameless, but they’ve been named.

James has started a GoFundMe in order to help raise the funds for his tuition.  Due to his high grades and other academic achievements, James has already covered half of his tuition with scholarships. The GoFundMe is to cover the other half and some living expenses.

If you are unfamiliar with his father, Jim, be thankful.  Jim does not have a likeable bone in his body.

People at one point dug up and highlighted some of Jim’s homophobic tweets back in 2018, where Andy Cohen even responded, “pray for his poor kids” when the tweets surfaced.  See the tweet below:

If you don’t know Jim and Amber Marchese, consider yourself lucky.  They’ve been on RHONJ, Marriage Boot Camp, they’ve been in the press for Jim allegedly abusing Amber and for them potentially getting divorced.

Either way, James deserves to go to college.  Sexual orientation has no effect on learning, and everyone deserves the chance to better themselves.

Updated Update:

Jim has been busy on twitter defending himself.  He tweeted to Andy Cohen again last night.

"@bravotv @andy @WEtv Andy you are single for a reason. Paid for a baby, your last person to comment on me keep, exploiting & abusing women #pathetic #rhonj #marriagebootcamp"

I’m sure they will delete these tweets and Instagram posts at some point, so I’m quoting them just in case. Don’t come for Andy!

Amber and Jim will never be back on Bravo, at any time in any time zone.
