It’s Melissa Picariello’s World & Life After Lockup’s Louie Fojut Is Just a Visitor
Louie Fojut has finally moved to New Jersey to start his life with his Life After Lockup girlfriend, Melissa Fojut. But before he left, Melissa told him she didn’t want him to make the drive alone. So she conspired with his mom, Donna, to come along for the ride. This angered Louie, but he backed off and just let it happen. He knew better than to try and take both his mom and Melissa on at the same time.
Donna, of course, is thrilled to have the time with her baby boy. But Louie Fojut finds Melissa Picariello’s suggestion suspicious. Donna and Melissa do not get along, so why Melissa would want her to come to New Jersey is beyond him.
When Louie of Life After Lockup and his mom finally arrive, Donna and Melissa start to bicker, and Melissa starts to harp at Louie. During dinner, Melissa tells Louie she has a job interview lined up for him as a truck driver. Louie doesn’t like that she is trying to control every move he makes. But she tells him he needs a real grownup job that makes grownup money.
Louie Feels Emasculated
Donna tells Melissa Picariello she would like to meet her family while she is there. Melissa says she can and says she is planning a housewarming party. The former Life After Lockup felon corrects her, saying that we are planning a party. This is how it always goes: Louie never gets a say.
The issue of money comes back up. Melissa tells Louie she is the one who pays for everything, including his teeth, which she hates. She gets angry when he asks about the money she wants to throw away on a nose job and chin implant. Donna asked how much it would cost her, and she said $11,000 for her nose. Louie tells her he doesn’t want her to do it. He likes her the way she is. He also mentions he doesn’t think they should spend that kind of money on plastic surgery.
Life After Lockup star Melissa Picariello reminds him again that it is her money to do what she pleases with. The tension is thick, so they change the subject. But the next day, Melissa goes for her consult and agrees to have the surgery, paying the full $11k upfront on her credit card.
