Melissa Gorga Previously Arrested For Shoplifting!

RHONJ star Melissa Gorga has quite the shady past and has recently been exposed for being arrested when she was 18 years old! That’s not all, there’s still a warrant out for Melissa’s arrest!
The documents obtained by Radar state that Melissa Marco was arrested on July 16, 1997 for “retail theft” in Palm Beach County, Florida. Melissa was 18 at the time and a warrant for her arrest was issued on October 8, 1997. Melissa failed to attend the arraignment on October 6 and the case is still apparently opened!
Melissa was very young when this happened and everyone makes mistakes but I’m also very young and I have never stole in my life.

If it her and there is a open warrant then why have they not picked her up since they can find her
Yeah, she’s a fugitive! Call DOG!!
LOL, can you imagine Dog and Beth! To be a fly in that car…
Ha…ha…
and It proofs that she Was not always pay the BILL….LOL
I meant , IT’s Proof…
Don’t forget jojo is harboring a fugitive! Best of luck with all the lies & bs!!
Your The Best, LMFAO !!!!
If she left the state of Florida and went back to NJ before her appearance date and did not appear then the warrant was issued. States do not extradite for misdemeanors, it costs too much money. However, if, for some reason, she were in Florida and were pulled over, or arrested for another incident and her name was run, the warrant would pop up and she would have to answer for it.
She has an appearance at a swap meet in Florida this month. If she’s smart she’ll take care of this while she’s there.
If she sings, maybe she’ll get pinched for disturbing the peace.
Great point!!!
You know what this is really no big deal I can even understand she was 18 teen, But funny & Even 18 teen year old’s girls get in trouble & take care of court dealings she better let Tarzan get that poison out prior 2 her being JAILED ~ She will not show up & that Florida Event ~ YES U heard heard it hear first & why did she not tell Jacks ALL about it she has small kids & poor Jacks should have been told, looks like NO whats 2 share with poor Jacks~ I get if they found this the flood gates r now open ~ I do not know why ANDY/BRAVO hates Teresa & that’s fine but they do not understand how loyal how TERESA’S fans are? TEAM Teresa ~ Janice Ca….
I think there is also a seven year statue of limitations…so, unfortunately, I doubt she’ll ever pay for this crime.
Ya THINK? LOLOL!
There’s no statute of limitations when you skip out, otherwise every criminal would do it.
A warrant is a warrant-I work in law and warrants do not go away. Failing to appear in front of a judge is a huge disrespect to the system. If it were just a ticket, that would be a different story.
Failure to appear, “disrespecting a judge”, has no statute of limitation.
It is an OPEN WARRANT, which means they can arrest her butt, if she goes to the flea market, as scheduled on October 20/2012.
I bet she finds an excuse to cancel.
She is a pathalogical liar, and a thief.
It depends theSOL may be tolled if she left after a bench warrant was issued. What was the amount of the theft?
Hahahahaha!!!!!! Swap meet…LOL. Oh wow is she ever moving up
LMFAO good one!
Someone should alert the police the next time Melissa goes to Florida. She needs to pay for her crime.
I’d pay to see the mug shot. lmao
I thought this was felonious retail theft (grand= >1000). No?
Yes it was over a thousand dollars, and therefore it is a felony.
A copy of the warrant is on the famewhorgas site.
I CAN’T STAND IT YOU ALL ARE KILLING ME, I HAVE TO LOVE IT. BIG BIG HUGS TO MY REAL BUDDY’S!!!
It was over a thousand then look at FL statute to see if it qualifies for felony.
I HAVE ALWAYS SAID “EVERY DOG WILL GET THEIR DAY RIGHT MELISSA SO THAT MEANS YOU ARE AND ALWAYS BE A DOG, GET IT NOW!!!! WOW SHAME,SHAME,
Love how Rox is so obsessed with Melissa. I wonder if Teresa has anything to do with these stories? hmmm. just saying…
I mean really. Shoplifting as a teenager…ooooh what a scandal. I keep forgetting that the writer of these articles is just a kid herself.
I know right?
18 is an Adult in any state in the country.She was not a “teenager ” as in too young to know the difference.I think most people know better then to steal by 9 or 10! So she was lucky and got away with it for too long or got stupid with age. Anyway you figure it the”Thank you Jesus ” garbage is just that. No state would allow her to teach. Most wouldn’t allow.her to substitute! Lesson learned is beware of the little girl that fawns to much.
I saw this story was published on about 6 other websites 2 days ago…..Roxy even quotes Radar….it’s news it’s out there…how is it that Roxy is obsessed when she writes ALL about housewives……I agree Melissa was young and did a stupid thing… The problem is that she and her followers make the story bigger than it needs to be spinning Teresa into yet… No wonder her popularity continues she is given Way to much mention
I don’t think so Dina because everything that we have seen,and its not just on this site, is public record. Even all of their lawsuits and liens against them.You people are always looking to find faults with Rox, so why do read her stories? Teresa stories- complain. Melissa stories- complain. Maybe if she did not act like she was the next big thing to grace our tv’s, there would be no stories dredging up her past? Yu say” oh what a scandal, but the fact of the matter is she did it! She was not some innocent little kid! It was not a pair of socks, lol This girl has a shady past that led to her trashing her SIL on tv- deal with it because there is more to come.
She was an adult and it was $1,000 in 1997 dollars. I am so glad she is such a fantastic role model for her children (sarcasm, of course). Blaming Teresa, really? Anyone with any intelligence would know that T would have brought this out long ago, not now.
Right. Cause she had children at 18. I’m sure you were doing fantastic things at 18 too.
So what? It happened when she was a teenager. At least its not a current time like filing fake bankruptcy charges.
or fraudulently obtaining a driver’s license.
1,000 worth of stolen merchandise at age 18? i’m sorry but that is a big freakin deal. she wasn’t a teenager stealing bubblegum and to top it all off she has a warrant out on her!!! she didn’t take care of it. so no miss melissa is not the saint you melissa worshippers think she is. you’re all just mad that your precious wannabe diamond is crumbling.
It shows she has a real past. FYI, Joe has to been convicted as of yet.
So he hasn’t been convicted. We all know he’s guilty. So if you have to wait until the final judgement comes down to make you feel better, go right ahead.
I think we all have a past,or at least a lot of us do. What bothers me is Melissa constantly trying to throw Teresa under the bus and always saying “Just own it”, to try and make Teresa seem shady/not a good person/bankrupt/marriage on the rocks etc….when in FACT she and Joey Marco are the shady ones. If a relative of mine spent that energy hating me, they would never see me again. Teresa, once again, comes out smelly like a rose. The people that Like Melissa(Samantha) I believe, are just like her and condone that sort of behavior. They are bottom feeders.
The people that like Teresa seem more honest,calm and respectful.
Her open warrant only proves just how sloppy she is.
It was Radar which is Star Magazine. It is in the media syndication now nd not just Rox.
What’s that supposed to mean? A kid herself? Age doesn’t necessarily determine your maturity, writing skills and age sure doesn’t have an effect on FACTS!
It is not worth the bucks it would take to ship her back to Florida for trial.That isn`t really uncommon it seems.I was stunned recently when I learned a very close family friend is wanted for thief.Seems she may have took 10,000 bucks from an elderly relative.Bothers us because she was taking care of a dear older lady who is now having money trouble.
Etta, that is horrible. I hope it works out and I hope the dear older lady’s troubles stop.
If it is the Melissa Marco she was not a minor. Was there a bench warrant issued? If so they can still get her. Fabulous!
She should go back to Florida and see the judge.
Beyond the shoplifting charge, she now has a FAILURE TO APPEAR charge thus the bench warrant. Now it’s become a more complex case. Probably too complicated for her twitter lawyer. LOL
Mandy I agree, he is a twitter thug!! Figures he is very close with Kathy and the Marco hags..
Twitter lawyer…HAHAHA!!!
This is the same idiot that threatened Johnny and Penny, and Angelo, with a lawsuit on twitter.
The minute they put their REAL lawyer on it, all the twitter threats and lawsuit disappeared.
This “twitter thug”(aka:lawyer) sounds just as simple minded as they are.
@Jan- he also threatened Rox. I will not forget that. He apologized later.. but I still don’t think he was very ethical or professional.
that is correct if a statue of limitations applied everyone would just not go to court!
sorry it’s
Everyone defending her is saying “we all do something when they are young.” Stupid, yes. I think this is worse than stripping because it shows character. Some people strip just to get by. I do not care about the stripping but it’s her persistent lies and then we find out she can still be arrested for thinking she is too good to attend court.
Thats my take on it. Can you imagine the Tre haters if she was the one with the warrant.. Holy Jesus..I definitely feel its part of her character traits that are none too pretty and goes along with what people, outside of Teresa have been saying for years. Those so called “rumors” about her did not just surface over night. Its not everyday every person in America is called a gold digging alleged stripper, for no reason!!!!
T was right about this bitch!!!!
I believe her now even more!!
Screw the haters!
and being young and five fingering a lipstick, or a blouse, or a pair of cheap shoes is one thing- in 1997 she stole $1000.00 worth of goods (today would be probably $1500-1700).
That’s a little different….
Hoolie, it really was $1000 worth of stuff? Oh boy, that’s pretty serious. Isn’t that a minimum of 60 days in Florida? Oh boy…
Had read on another site in comments someone stating it was $1000.00 in merchandise though…
Was it $ in stolen items or was it $100 bail? I would think someone being arrested for the first time and on a crime as small as shoplifting they would get an OR bail? No idea how that works or where that $1000 comes in.
Its an OPEN WARRENT, thus mean she was indited meaning no statue of limitations. Once you are formally charged it will stay poen until she takes care of it! Here in florida its called grand theft. Now she has a 2nd charge called nailing jumping. These are serious charges. 60days in jail is highly unlikly. It can b 60days plus 2yrs probation. Idk what she will get for bailjumping. Openwarrent=they want meho in custody. No attorney can just take care of it for her.
What do you mean “imagine” if Tre had an arrest. Saint Teresa filed bankruptcy due to her crazy spending which was well documented on the show, Juicy is facing jail time, because, at 40 plus years old (not 18), he thinks laws don’t pertain to him. Talk about shady. Yes, call out Melissa for shop lifting at 18, but Tre and Juicy are to be admired. Yes, imagine if!!!
Not sure where you saw that Teresa and Joe are admired? Most people just dont like the fact that her family and friends went after her and are trying to destroy her on national TV… The other cast members are hypocrites to say the least!
Yes, Say What, thank you.
Exactly @SayWhat??
Her family and friends went after her? Ugh, so tired of that line. They are all creeps, crooks and liars. Imagine if they did a show about the Crips and Bloods… they too would play the “victim” card.
The show I would like to watch is the show that follows the Real Housewives cast after the 15 minutes of fame are over. Where will they be then? Will they have any money? Those who really had it will be fine, those who pretended to have it and over extended themselves will be broke.
Uhhh Shiks she pulled out of her bankruptcy and has been taking care of her debt! She like many other Americans who have filed so what’s your point? Are you calling other Americans who have filed bad? It’s one thing to over spend and another to blatantly take what does not belong to you without paying for it! If T. and J.G. file bk then it follows them and affects credit, period! Because a thief steals and unless it is caught then there is no consequence and sorry stealing from someone’s store without purchasing on credit or with cash is STEALING MORON!!! it means that melissa was or is a thief and therefor is a dishonest person.
Exactly. I think the biggest difference here is that Melissa didn’t take responsibility for her actions, whereas Teresa did. That to me shows a real lack of character in Melissa, and is the real issue. Everyone (or most people) have made mistakes or done something they are not proud of, but it is the way you handle yourself after the fact and take responsibility that shows a person’s true character. Just my opinion.
Oh, my bad, I’m sure she’s paid it all almost off by now. I stand corrected. Yes, Melissa is horrible, horrible person.
I haven’t seen anyone praising Joe for his Lunacy!As for her spending it was clear she bought her furniture with CASH! The bankruptcy came after Joe was sued by his partner and lost. It was an inelegant way of handling part of the payment of the fine levied against them.Chapter 13 allows you to pay off the fine at a lower rate then they person may have liked and protects your major assets.Like your house, cars ,and household goods. It means you don’t have sell everything you own to satisfy a judgment.
Bankruptcy does mean you have to declare all your assets, which the Guidices did not; that is why they were forced to withdraw the BK filing. While your primary residence, one or two of your cars, and most household goods are protected, vacation homes, additional cars and luxury items are not. Yes many Americans have been forced to declare bankruptcy as a last resort; but not many have 2 vacation homes and other assets to fall back on while claiming the inability to pay their debts.
Stealing is a crime and should be prosecuted, but make no mistake withholding assets so you can claim Bankruptcy and have your debts forgiven or partially forgiven, is also a crime.
No everyone just ignores it. Too busy jumping on everything everyone else does. I say just watch RHONY. They’re more entertaining, and not as bitchy. If I wanted to just watch people fight with each other, I’d watch football with my husband!!
Shiks, I get it, especially if you do not like Teresa, but come on! Is that NOT what the others on the show have done to Teresa,especially since Kathy and Mel joined? The point is this for me: Melissa has been ACTING as though she is so wholesome, woe is me Teresa is mean to me, making her nasty little comments and accusations that are downright vile, and there is proof she is not who she has claimed to be! That just validates it for me , personally, not everyone. It seems as though there are more and more untruths to this girl. She changes the lies and stories herself- I have heard it myself from her mouth along with countless others. So how do you discredit that ? I do not hold Teresa and Joe’s financial woes a giants them to hate them. I have not seen Teresa lie or act like she is perfect while she has been on the show. She did wrong and has busted her ass to fix it ever since, and that I will not fault someone for.
She bought it with CASH that was in her possession bc of her husband’s shady dealings.
I think stealing is wrong no matter what but if I had to choose one of them to deal with, I would choose the stupid 18 yo with the lack of judgment over the Adults who stole from business partners and ppl who trusted them.
I think the bk was withdrawn because they mistaken didn’t include Teresa first advance from her first book in the bk docs. Because they should have known to include it – ignorance is not an excuse. I fact, their small little misstep ends up looking like fraud. So they could do one of two things:
1) continue w the bk and get it with a bk fraud charge for not including tre’s first check. Or
2) withdraw the bk filling and work the debts off piecemeal working w the arbitration, etc,
It was bad advise taken as fact…. O well. Anyway.
I’d rather have a personal bk that have a company go into bk with me at the helm. Corp bk means u didn’t uphold the public trust placed in you. They pilfered that company until it had nothing left… Does Jac think none of us has seen goodfellas… We know how this chit works… ( only half joking )
Rhfn,
It depends. There are many assets which are BK remote. Further, monies made post filing are not part of the BK estate. Everything in BK depends. It s a facts and circumstances test.
Jennifer,
Correct, unfortunately for the Guidices some of the property they chose not to declare were their shore and mountain homes, which as we all know were shown on the show. It seems the BK judge chose to question their entire declaration of assets instead of allowing them to ammend their filing or the Guidices chose to withdraw and not place their property at risk. Either way, by not fully disclosing assets their entire filing was suspect.
Hey Shiks, what about the Lauritas? Any comment to the embezzlement charges?
Yes, they are total D-bags! Jac is a nut, and Chris is two-faced and egotisticaland SMUG! He and sis think when they speak, everyone should listen. Umm, why!?! I also thought it was funny that Jac said on the reunion show the she was “glad” all thi bankruptcy stuff came out in the open, sure, she’s real glad! I totally believe that they just took what ever money they could out of that failing company and put it in their pockets. I think they’re all alittle shady!
@Shiks agreed. I believe this is what the producers at bravo will choose to make Jacks story line next season. I thought andy was foaming at the mouth when Jack was talking about it at the reunion.
How is what Teresa and joe did shady when she spent money ON tv?? You tre haters kill me. Lol. You don’t hear of anything coming up from their past like you do those Marcos. Like Teresa said, no skeletons in her closet. PLUS, she is paying her bills BACK unlike the Marco who skips out of her bills!
Tre haters? You don’t hear anything coming up from their past? What about buying properties, to be fixed up as rentals by obtaining mortgages, taking the mortgage money and spending it on themselves, collecting rent and not paying the taxes on the properties, the utilities, etc. They may have paid cash for some furniture, but it wasn’t cash that was rightfully theirs to spend. What about Joe and all of his cheating? He has a wife and 4 daughters and doesn’t give a rip about being a man of honor for them.
Look, there is negative stuff about the entire NJ cast as there is also about most of the “actors” on the Real Housewife series. Most all of them are cooks and liars of some sort… and, that is unfortunately what sells.
Really, Tre and Juicy not shady, really, maybe just a little.
I’m glad this is all out. Miss ”I PAY MY BILLS because I’m the innocent victim here.” Tre knows everything about Mel. What sister would want a SIL like Melissa? She is not only dirty and easy, but she lacks character, and is shameful & pathetic.
I know more stuff will uncover, and HA HA HAAA for her!
Michers, okay, I get it Melissa is a D-bag, Joe Gorgo, a nut as well. And to be honest can’t stand Caroline. I liked her the first two seasons, but not anymore. She dispenses alot of advice, not sure why anyone values her opinions! Jac – annoying. I actually liked Teresa the first season. She actually seemed kinda sweet, a shopaholic, but sweet. Not so sweet though when ya now know it was smoke and mirrors. But, I know, their finances are not my business. And good for her she now makes money. But Michers, buddy, they are all kinda mean and horrible to each other. Do me a favor, watch NY, give it a chance, I think you’ll enjoy it more. Let’s you and I be nice to each other. We will teach the others. No more haters, right!
Shiks – Now that New York is winding down you should give RH Miami a try. Ive been watching & its good. The houses are gorgeous & the location shots are beautiful. But what I like most is i can just watch for entertainment & not be so invested in the cast as NJ has drained me. Sure, theres some cattiness going on…but nothing like NJ.
Shiks, thanks for the laugh! I see we do have some things in common, LOL. We agree on the douchebags, and I don’t like Caroline either. Jac is past annoying. I do watch NY
People always bring T’s bankruptcy- its out there. But what has bothered me all season is that the others always target things like that with Teresa , not watching the stones they throw as they ALL have financial problems/lawsuits, etc. They make themselves appear to be different, innocent, not lacking any moral decency when in fact, they are worse because they lie so horribly and are hypocritical! I have no issues being kind and nice as long as its reciprocated, no matter if we agree or not.
Chelly- totally agree with Miami..
Thank you!!! A thief is a thief is a thief. Youth does not change your character. If that was the case children would be the cause of the majority of crimes.
Am I perfect? Absolutely not. But I know the difference between a mistake and an intentional act. Lying, cheating, stealing or violently attacking someone are all intentional. You know before you do it that it is wrong.
As a society I wish we would stop using youth as a reason to excuse bad behavior. Ever have a conversation with a 5 year old? They are well aware of right & wrong.
While I don’t think Melissa should be severely punished, she did this now go handle it. But let’s not excuse it as young people are incapable of making sound decisions. An 18 yo without a rap sheet isn’t rare, it’s the norm.
The thing is (and I am in no way implying this is the case), we cannot see if she has priors as a minor. She had only been 18 for four months when this happened. In some states you can see someone’s record starting at 17, I do not know about Florida. This could be a very BIG deal. Time will tell, I guess.
Agreed florida don’t play no games I live here!
Now that it is public knowledge, she is gonna have to do something to resolve this – ah, the joys of having your life displayed on national tv. You really have to be obsessed with fame and attention to want this for your family.
I don’t like her, but I had a good friend who made a mistake like this when she was the same age, and she learned from it and straightened up and is an exemplary person wife, and mother — so we can’t really judge folks by dumb mistakes in their youth(and this was a BIG one, for sure) but by what they do AFTERWARD their big mistakes.
Have they even confirmed that they have the correct Melissa Marco? There are after all a slew of women with that name in Florida.
Same birthdate, same middle name, lived in Fla at the same time. It is the skank.
You all know good and well that if this story was about Teresa, the posts would go as follows:
-Who the hell cares what T was doing when she was 18. We all make mistakes.
-This must be some sort of forgery or set up by Bravo and Andy once AGAIN to make T the bad guy.
-You can’t even see all of that report!! I’m sure it shoes where T went back and took care of this!
-T may have stole something but she’s still way better of a person than Ginger lemon face, Lapband and Katfish!!
-Well Jac’s an alcoholic (because we’ve seen her drink on camera) and that’s WAY worse than Tre being a thief!!!
-Good for Tre!! She probably was trying to help out her family by.stealing that stuff. Geez it happened when she was 18, don’t these cops have much more hardened criminals to go after?!?!?
You know there would be plenty of excuses and reasons why it’s okay.
Absolutely right on.
And my feeling about this NON-STORY is to just let Teresa (and her fans) run with it if they want to. Anything that makes Teresa (and her fans) look even MORE ridiculous is just fine by me.
“LET” Tre fans run with it? If that’s how you want to spin it, ok. But we all know that you only say that because there’s no way to defend her in this!
As far as I’m concerned, all you’ve succeeded in doing is increasing Melissa’s popularity among any women who ever did something stupid WHEN THEY WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
I just finished reading the comments and they’re even more unintentionally hilarious than usual. So by all means, enjoy yourself.
Gorgeous picture of Melissa, btw.
Yes, it is. Love the receeding hair line. Or is that wig?
Her hair looks like a hot flipping mess!
As a Tre-fan allow me to really piss you off.Our Lady Teresa would never have stooped to that level at 18.Show me were the law is coming after Teresa at all.You know Tre is in some damn good company in turning to the courts for help with her debts.
Actually it makes the pious and phony Melissa Gorga look like a hypocrite.
Exactly Mego. Just another one to put in her pile of who she really is.
Its a non story to Sam because it involves her idol.
Fk Sam & her idol. What does that say about Sam is her idol is of all people Melissa LMFAO. Lying stripper thief can sing for shit skank.
Hummmm who looks ridiculus????
Theres a bunch of dirt on the marco sisters!! It is not out there cuz they are not on tv!! Birds of a feather flock together! Careful sam I may expose u just for the.hell of it! I won’t cuz that will take the attention off mel is a hoe & theif!!
Actually Sam and others saying this is from Teresa’s fans, I first saw this from a women that is a close family friend and lives in New Jersey, she has a FB page called MomsThoughts and used to run a live chat show with Melissa’s sister Kim, I asked her along time ago why doesn’t she ever put anything on her FB about any of the other housewives, then she told me that she hates Teresa even though she has never met her……. Then when she started her weekly show Kim was the first person she chatted with!!!! I could not believe she put this info up about Melissa, then yesterday the stuff about Jaq and her Chris fraud and bankruptcy papers ……….
Yes, I always see that name “mom thoughts”- ew. She was very nasty toward Teresa and did not know her, only going off of what Lysa, Kim and Meho said
Kim works with her(moms thoughts).
Holy Shit Jan- Kim has a job?
Again if it is a non story why give Teresa credit….Teresa is the one getting named in everything …she is the one laughing to the bank by receiving honorable or dishonorable mention in all the stories that come out about Melissa’s screw ups….by the way she was young and stupid but she was an adult in eyes of the law… She should have even been done with high school at that time.
Hypocrite
Not even gonna lie.. this is true.
But on the same road, the other blogs would be saying exactly whats being said here if it were Teresa. It is what it is. I dont know why that bothers you so much? If its uncomfortable or not “fun” for you.. you have the option of going to blogs that are more in line with your own views..
I know! I don’t like what people say on some of the other sites about Teresa, but I don’t go on there just to complain, in fact I just stay away. I don’t understand some people…
Actually it wouldn’t go that way. If teresa was showing herself to be a dishonest person by getting on the show behind her families back and then trying to destroy them and on top of that we found out that she has an open warrant for stealing , you would get the same response that a majority of us are giving melissa. Melissa has shown so much dishonesty in her character that this just takes the cake and she has absolutely no credibility. If you are on melissa team then get the hell out of here and go over to reality tea where you will be welcomed by all the other kool aide drinkers!
Just because someone doesn’t agree with you’re views shouldn’t elicit a “get the hell out” order. I never said in my comment that I’m “Team Melissa.” I was merely making a statement based on observations of previous comments. That is all.
And for previous mentions by others, it’s known as STATUTE of limitations, not statue.
oooo the spelling police! If it was a limitations like I said NOBODY would go to court DUH
Ok,spelt wrong did she?Does that close the case in Florida on Melvin?
LOL, not the spelling police. It’s a commonly misspelled/mistaken word. A lot of people don’t know or realize that it’s a statute.
Good grief, don’t get so defensive. I didn’t say “oh my god, you idiot, it’s statute.” That is the way some people do it when they have no comeback. Not what I was doing.
@Renee, absolutely true and I will add if it was Teresa if would make the LARGER gossip sites and magazines. Apparently, less people care about Melissa than we thought.
^^^^^THIS EXACTLY!!!
Heck. If this was about T, I’d say the same thing. It happened when she was a kid. 18 is a kid to me, sorry.
I do agree that at 18, most people are not as mature as older adults. And most children at 10/11 years old are aware that stealing is illegal. All that doesn’t matter, cause in the eyes of the law, you are considered an adult at the age of 18.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, and we are not talking about a pack of gum, we are talking theft OVER $1,000 and that is a felony.
By the same token, Teresa could save a little of drowning kittens/puppies, and Tre haters would say she only it for publicity. This is the problem with HATING someone – especially someone you don’t really know – it goes to ridiculous extremes and you actually end up looking foolish.
None of these women appeal to me, and they are all mean to each other and saying things they should never say in public, but at the end of the day, I think Teresa has been less vicious than the others – of course, that may be a back-handed compliment.
Exactly Janie, They are all intentionally mean to each other, it’s ridiculous. I believe that some things that Tre has said about Mel is true and some things that Mel has said about Tre is true. But they both deny that they have said awful things about each other. No body is better than anybody and we all know that Mel is no angel that she wants to portray herself to be, but Tre is no angel either, but she knows that. Tre has done wrong and admitted to alot of what she has said or done. I just think this whole HONJ has gotten out of control. They better turn this around when they film and start editing it for next season!
I really like this comment Janie, completely agree.
Sam, do you think that if you yell NON-STORY, that anyone will believe you?
mel is a thief, and has a record, DEAL WITH IT!
Over $1,000 = a felony.
mel is a two time felon – when she went to renew her passport after age 18, it would have been after her arrest, and the subsequent bench warrant issued in 1997. That means that mel lied on her passport application, as she has a outstanding warrant.
Oh my, that is FRAUD and a FEDERAL OFFENCE!
And, a little birdie on twitter said that they were going to report this to the proper authority.
Miss “thank you Jesus” and “we pay our bills” is a pathalogical liar, a thief, and is definitely
ON DISPLAY, ON DISPLAY. LOLOL!
JanShe, if the theft was a felony, then in Florida that makes the bail jumping a felony also. So, she has three felonies. In some states bail jumping is an automatic felony, but Florida does not appear to be one of those states.
She’s a gold digger and this proves it!
Everyone says Joe G is broke, so who’s gold is she digging?
He wasn’t broke when she SETTLED for him & his huge home!
That HUGE home has never been “his.” They were living in it b/c it was a construction loan. That’s why they have to move out of it now, b/c the terms of that loan are very limited.
I’m not sure how any of these people live in the houses they do. Besides Al, who runs the Brownstone, I have no idea what any of these men actually do for a living. “Contractor” doesn’t mean anything.
Why don’t you ask Mel who ‘s gold she is digging ( if not her hubby’s)..
Wow! I wonder how she’ll spin this…. maybe Teresa got one of her cop friends and a store who are both on her payroll to make this up!?! Melissa gets more and more shady w/ every story!
here’s how……Joe Gorga’s twitter
Joe Gorga ?@joegorga
To the twitter haters this is a “A” & “B” conversation So “C” ur way out before “D” jumps over “E” & “F” u up like a G
Expand Reply Retweet Favorite
the mental midget never ceases to amaze me…..
…closes eyes…shakes head…softly mutters “jeeeeezus christ….”
He has 2 brain cells and they are busy playing cards at the moment…
Playing cards lmfao!!! On thhe floor lol thank u!!
Unfortunately, he’s not getting any smarter-
Joe Gorga?@joegorga
Haters famous people walk on the red carpet because they r stars.I walk on toilet paper because I’M THE SHIT Keep hating
JoGo is having a twitter meltdown. He can’t figure out whom to blame. Nitwit
JoGo is greatly conflicted; even with his pea brain he must see something might wrong is going on against his sister, but a man needs to support his wife — he also needs to tell her when she is hurting his family that she needs to stop!
Kathys son must be running Joes twitter account this week
if he was it would be a much more clever twit.Seems maybe brains skipped a generation in the Waklie family.
He and Lysa Simpson are probably laughing their asses off right now really thinking they are funny!!!! How many drinks did it take to make you so comical Stump?
On one hand, I feel that his recent tweets are an effort by the Marco sisters to push back against the criticism expressed previously that they control Joe’s account and use it as a weapon to inflict unnecessary pain on Teresa with pointed jabs about who he really regards as his family. On the other hand, by doing so, Joe now seems excessively crude, unfunny, and downright unlikeable. I feel he is trying to mimic Joe Giudice’s attitude- “I don’t give a fuck. I really don’t.” However, viewers have been accustomed to a Joe Gorga who deeply cares, promotes himself as a family man, torn asunder by his sister’s inability to cooperate with his wife, a man who enjoys having harmless fun. Now, it seems his facade is cracking- if he really was a family man, what is his response to reunion pt. 1 where cousin Kathy calls his mother a liar, his father a coward before his other cousin, Rosie, threatens to take a knife to his sister’s mouth? What is his response to the footage of the S4 finale wherein there was NO proof at the time Teresa set anyone up, there wasn’t any actual reason to declare a set-up occurred yet he behaved irrationally, finding his loyal sister automatically guilty due to mob consent? His storyline has to change because what he claimed to be all about has been shown to be a hollow distortion of reality.
Did he watch Sesame Street today with his kids? He learned new letters, yippee!!!
LMAO, at least he knows his alphabet to the letter “G.” I didn’t think he could get that far.
A store on her payroll? R U kidding me? That’s absurd.
I wonder what Sam the Man thinks about this? Lol!
Sam has not said a word yet.
See above LOL
I spoke too soon!
LOL.
this story really shows melissa’s TRUE character. remember how she aggressively noted on tv “we PAY OUR bills”, taking grand delight in telling the world that she’s a more responsible/respectable person than Teresa? trying to convince us she was a victim of some kind while doing her best to shame her own sister in law?? some sweetheart. some “responsible” innocent..pfft
Guess she forgot what she said on the show about paying her bills. The power company shut off her power last week for nonpayment. Oops!
and it all started with forgeting to pay the Burdines clerk at the register…
Oh but they pay their bills…..LMAO
Old NJ Girl, you have got a lot of good info; how did you find out about the power being turned off?
Twitter has all the gossip long before it hits the blog sites.
So who does pay their bills and make such a night deal of telling everyone about it.Lights are still on must have paid the bill.
Welcome to Karma Cafe Melissa. There are no menus. You get served what you deserve!
Oohh….good one.
Must put in memory bank
Me too!!!
LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO, love, love, love it!!!
hehehe
Love!!! Quoting this.
No this surely is int the Melisa we know the Friendly, Family Caring person who would never do anything to hurt her husbands family we all know”LOL
Ha! its called karma and guess what sweet hart drop the innocent victim act you fake thing
she’s fake as her boobs & lips
Actually, those are more real than she is!
Teresa’s boobs are fake, as fake as she is.
Um, Im pretty sure Mel has fake knockers also..And fake lips and fake hair . She has Teresa beat on one thing though and that is FAKE singing!
I will never understand any of these housewives “singing” ventures. None if them can sing, and their music always sounds like auto-tuned crap!!
I was trying to think of a housewife that hasn’t had work done, and SHOCKER, I can’t. I don’t watch Atlanta or Miami, though.
@hoodie- I think the only legit one that can sing is Kandi Buruss( spell?) She is very famous in the music industry for producing, writing, singing etc.. She was in a famous girl group back in the 90′s ( although I cannot remember the name, forgive me). Out of all franchises, I think Kandi is the only legit performer with credentials to back that ish up!!
Kandi is from Atalanta franchise, I forgot that part..
*ATLANTA*. son of a ….typos.
Kandi can sing, and so can Mel’s step sister Amanda, who we have never seen on the show. Hmmmmm…
BRAVO, if you want a singer on this franchise bring, Amanda Joelle Ali, on the show. She is very good looking as well.
CHEERS!!!
Yes JanShe! She is a very pretty girl, however, I think she may be friends with the enemy, LOL. She is a friend of Georgie make up boy…. so who knows? Mel NEVER talks about her, acknowledges her, and either do the hag-a-long sisters.
Oh yeah, I know who you’re talking about. Didn’t she have that before the show? Good for her if she can sing. Much better than making an ass out of yourself on tv and itunes.
and Teresa`s are spectacular?
cindi123, how long did it take you to think of that brilliant thought? Teresa got the implants while doing the show.
This story was actually broken by chris stark ?@stark3923. Check her twitter account as she posted the documents at least two days before RadarOnline posted it.
And, I actually think her arrest is a felony.
I tried to figure out why it says felony/misdemeanor, but could not really get a definitive answer. I know in some states failure to appear automatically becomes a felony but that does not seem to be the case in Florida. So, I someone knows please explain!!
Usually stealing something with a value over $100 (which isn’t much) makes it a felony. I was thinking, but could be wrong, that the misd could be the failure to appear (contempt of court) charge. So there are probably two charges against her.
I’m thinking there are 2 charges as well, Chris stark left a comment on another site referencing something about sarasota and palm beach county… Sarasota is Sarasota County and Palm Beach County- well 2 different counties…. Wondering where exactly she resided when she lived in FL…..that may answer something
I thought anything over $500 was a felony, but that’s here in Tennessee.
In Louisiana (land of we arrest everyone) it’s only $100
I lived in florida for a few years in palm beach county and anything stolen $1000 and over is grand theft and an automatic felony.
im thinking there is some confusion here…. i read that there was a $1000 bond, not that she stole 1000 worth of merchandise. also read on chris starks twitter that she is a felon because she obtained a passport (to go to the DR i think?)and lied on said passport application as to having no outstanding warrants therefore committing a felony.
http://twitter.com/stark3923
I first read about this shoplifting arrest on Chris Stark’s twitter as well.
Regardless of Melissa’s being only 18, she certainly was old enough to know better and at some point she should have done the right thing.
Running from the law and the truth seem to be second nature to her. I wonder what other skeletons she has in her closet?
Sorry, passports are good for 10 years.
Not saying she did or didn’t lie on her passport application, but I’m surprised she would be able to get a passport with an open warrant. Definitely makes me wonder about security if passports are given without background/warrant checks.
It may have been different then, pre-9/11.
Passports are only good for 7 years I think, so she would have had to renew? I could be wrong about the number of years I am hopped up on cold meds. Either way though, she would have had to get a new one after getting married and changing her name.
Lol, I’m still worried about who is handing out passports if this warrant turns out to be valid.
BURDINES BURGLAR!
Doesn’t BRAVO check their (hw’s)records, past?To see if anyone was arrested,served jail time, stole,has warrant for their arrest?????????????
It be nice to know we are not watching criminals pretending to be homemakers.
BRAVO get it together!!Stop hiring criminals!
Have you forgotten Marlo already? What she did was far more egregious than shoplifting and she was cast on RHOA.
Her mugshot ain’t nothing top play with!!! ( Marlo)
UGH- *to*
HAHAHA! Marlo’s mugshot is fuggly and scary…
I wouldn’t have wanted to meet her in a back alley…YIKES!!!
nope, remember Traylor Trash Armstrong’s past legal & current troubles….go bravo
There are a bunch of geniuses working at Bravo.
What about Danielle? I actually think BRAVO did the background check on her and thats how Caroline found the book.
I think Bravo did know and enjoys the hell out of it when the stories break.Cann`t beat this kind of news for locking in extra viewers.
etta, I think I agree with you on this! Too many instances with various people .
We were ALL 18….it takes a very ‘special’ kind to STEAL!
How many of us responding to this blog were arrested for shoplifting – or anything – when we were 18? I get the impression Melissa was a troubled girl from all we have heard – but by 18 you do know right from wrong and either have regard for that or disregard it. I think this woman has always wanted things she didn’t have and will get them any way she can – that is what i have pretty much seen from her behavior….and now her past.
I cant wait to see the teresa hating people have to say about this..
it was all Teresa’s fault (of course….lol)
In their twisted minds only… LOL
I love how no-one from RHONJ is tweeting about this story – Andy and Bravo must have shut them up! Wonder if Andy and Wendy will discuss on WWHL on Sunday night. Melissa was on Wendy – anything missing from the dressing room???? Note to all talk show hosts take inventory! haha!
What about her skannnky sisters????
nothing to say?????
The sisters have been all over the blogs laughing at people making a big deal over it. lol
They also gave a speech about not hating too hard on Mel when she first joined because of her “past”…
Hahahahaha
Ughhh Wendy I guess I won’t be watching that one, she hates Teresa for this and that or anything that the others have told her to hate her for…… She used to be ok but she has her nose so far up Jaq’s ass she can’t think for herself!!!!!! I coulndn’t believe when Whitney Houston died she said her and Whitney had smoking crack in common to be like something good …….
I don’t understand why all the Tre followers have such a hard time with this minor little legal matter!! but of course its ok that JoeApe committed fraud, is a slum lord, stole from small business, forged checks from his business partner. Oh well, whateves!! Melissa looks beautiful as always!!
There is no doubt that Tre married a bad boy and JoGo married a bad girl. It’s the bad girl who came on the show in disguise wearing a crooked halo – she’s the one running from the outstanding arrest warrant. Not the bad boy – he is still in town cutting a deal. I hope Mel does more time than Juicy! haha!
What does what Joe did have to do with Melissa being charged with shoplifting? Why are you deflecting ? This has nothing to do with Teresa..
Two words……………glass houses!
Teresa, its not ( for me anyway) the fact that as you state ( minor legal matter) although I don’t think Florida feels that way, lol.. Its how she did nothing but point her little thieving fingers at Teresa since joining show. Her little snarky digs that actual reflect her own life, her dancing/lying days, now the arrest warrant, the ” we pay our bills”, the accusations, I mean its just a bit much for someone who wanted to move forward with her husband’s sister its actually disturbing. Then you add how she chimed in to berate her with Jax and Caro and Kathy. She totally started this ugly hot mess we have had to endure on the show and still carries on today.. And I mean here is so much more that really shaped my view of her. The Danielle thing really was uncalled for and plain ugly. I have never said it was ok for the wrongs T and Joe Gi are faced with.
He did all that to provide for his wife whom he loves so very much and his daughters, you didn’t know? His reasons are noble and teresa didn’t know. she thought her husband was a noble, upstanding businessman as she is.
Wow, you call a FELONY, a “minor little legal matter”.
SMH…………..
Ugh who gives a shit what she did when she was 18. If this came out about Teresa everyone on here would be defending her.
She’s a fugitve from the law, today, at age 32!
And she is on display, on display, on display!! ha ha
LOL so funny. Like she and joe are bonnie and clyde for shoplifting.
They would probably have to steal a get away car.
Maddie, very,very true. If this story was Teresa’s story I promise you it’d all be good. That is the same point I made earlier. With all JoeApes legal issues the Teresa followers excuse all of his crap…’Oh he only tried to illegally obtain a drivers license but it was only a little bit of fraud because it was his brother’! The followers excuse all of JoeApes bad behavior only because Tre excuses it. As soon as Tre gets smart enough(I’m not holding my breath) and kicks his disgusting azz to the curb, then the followers will be all over that gross, disgusting, fat pig of a man and his faults. That’s when I’ll take up for him! bawaaaaa!
No one can take you serious when youre slinging around ethnic slurs like its nothing. Really insulting and im shocked you are so proud of it. Are you just as comfortable saying the N word or the FA word?
@Teresa Yep, we would believe it was all good with Teresa, just like you think it is all good with Melissa. And you cannot change our minds or control our thoughts about it. We have no interest in changing your mind. Next!
@Teresa, Joe Giudice is NOT a FELON like the skank meho is!!!
BIG Difference, VERY BIG!!!
You know Teresa (Marco sister or her vile makeup guy), all I’m going to say is you are an immature & mean person for conting to call them apes. Is that all you have? What a horrible person YOU are.
Oops, meant Calling not counting. iPhone.
So are the Teresa lovers in here who call other cast members names HORRIBLE too? I’ll give you some examples:
Lapband Lauren (aka tub of lard, fat ass), Loose bottomed Greggie, Katfish, MeHo (Melissa Whorega, I assume), Stumpy, Snaggletooth, Lemon faced ginger, number names synonomous with “crazy” for Jacqueline.
I’m just curious if the feeling is the same for name callers of castmastes other than Teresa. Or do they deserve it?
Even when Mel gets busted shoplifting, people still interject Teresa’s name into the story LOL
I know! See Mel just is not relevant without Teresa.
If you get busted for shoplifting, you know it’s not your first time. This girl has to have what she wants when she wants it, which is why she is such a miserable bitch that her music career has lead them to the brink of homelessness.
Right she has been stealing it was the 1st time she got caught. So she moved onto tricks & stole their moneyy wallets watches etc. of course the tricks can’t teport it cuz prostitution is illegal jmo lol ok yea no big deal! (sarcasim)
Yes, and if it were about Teresa the “other” blog would be going crazy bashing her. Actually, it would have been picked up by TMZ and other bigger gossip sites if it were Teresa. It is what it is.
They are still bashing Teresa over it, and us. Like we care.
I’m actually NOT bashing Teresa, I’m actually Team Teresa and I dislike Melissa. I just don’t understand why if people hate her so much why they need to dig up her old dirt. Why not just leave her alone to bask in her irrelevance? You’re only making her more famous.
Maddie, I am sorry. I did not mean anyone here, I was talking about the comments on other sites and blogs. I checked some out. People are really getting hysterical. It seems Melissa fans genuinely believe Teresa paid someone to find this. I guess I should not be surprised, but that is pretty obsessive. I really, really did not mean you, and I get your point!
BS!If Tre had a speeding ticking whe she was 18 they would make it she was Bonnie and Joe was Clayd.They would have been running from knocking of Richie`s gas station
For some reason elemcee I can’t reply to you, but no worries! I’m just really shocked my one post is getting so many negative comments lol… I agree, I read some of those as well, that’s so stupid. Next they’re gonna be blaming Teresa for freaking global warming.. it never ends! I just want Melissa and the other 3 hags to go away.
Godness Mel is one peice of work. I dont want to chastize her but this is not the behavior of an 18 year old this is like a 12 year old that steels from stores. Sorry but 18 is not young. I was moved out when i was 15 and living in another country. Also failure to appear in court is worse than the actual charge BTW
Me too I moved to the United States from Australia when I was 15. And my parent died when I was young so I had no one and not once ever in my life have I stolen from anyone ! Absolutely NO EXCUSE!
Aussie represent!!!!
I agree that it just goes to character. All of the stuff coming out about her, the working in a strip club in whatever capacity, this theft. Why did she live in Florida for a while? What is that about? She has a very shady past. I live in the same town as her and was raised not far from here in Bergen County. My family was respectable, upstanding, known in the community. I wonder what would happen if my brother ever brought someone like Melisssa home when we were younger? She would never just fit in. None of us(my brother, sisters, SIL, BIL’s) have ever been arrested. Instead we just kept going to college and getting more degrees. She and her disgusting sisters and their disgusting husbands were saying at the Christening that they have “Class.” I was brought up that if you had “class” you didn’t announce it. What her and her family are lacking is grace.
She’s shady because she lived in Florida? Are all of the 70 year OKC retirees that live there shady too?
*old, not OKC. That’s an interesting auto correct.
Not really I used to live in Florida and there was a lot of young people like myself at the time. The saying about Florida always was ” a sunny place for shady people”
@hoodie, its shady because no one can ever get the real story of why she was shipped to live in Florida, not with her whole family, only during High School I believe, then back to Jersey so conveniently after the arrest it seems.
Limaobeanstein, I like your screen name; funny.
She lived in Florida with her Dad that’s where he lived with his new wife after her parents divorced……This is why she was daddy’s lil princess =)
I wish Bravo wasn’t so anti-Teresa and would air that ho’s dirty laundry lets focus on MEHO’s put her on display hahahahhahahaha it’s about time I believe.
Lookers lover, Cat Rodriguez, will not be producing the show next year. No more special editing for Lookers.
Caroline Self who was a good friend of the Manzo is gone also. That maybe why Ursula is thinking about not coming back.
#rhonj How Melissa Gorga is a FELON: When Melissa obtained her new passport after age 18 it would have been after her arrest and the subsequent bench warrant issued in 1997. That means Melissa had to lie on her passport application as she has an outstanding warrant.
That is fraud and is a federal offense?
And yes – i broke the story n posted it everyday on twitter since oct 2. plus in my twitter pictures are 2 documents. radar only has the 1
palm beach county = arrested
sarasota = lived
Thanks for clarifying/advising on the whole sarasota/palm beach thing Chris!
Has Radar online ever responded to your post advising YOU broke the story?
They really need to step up to the plate and give you your due credit.
That will never happen. lol Radar pulled the records after being tipped off by this twitter person. The documents are public record so they can and will claim what they want.
Come on , its radar online. 90% of their stories are lies.
Hi – Could Melissa have moved or been “sent away” to get away from this arrest. Parents have been known to ship delinquents off when they get caught doing something wrong. That would make her Mother out to be harboring a fugitive – right? Oh Melissa, what a tangled web.
Someone said her dad lived in florida. Someone else said her gay lover lived in florida. No idea what the truth is.
I think the lesbionic affair took place in Florida.
Who didn’t Melissa sleep with? No wonder she’s known as “MeHo” lmao
@Irish, LMAO! At least she does not discriminate- she is an equal opportunity banger
If she didn’t want anyone to know about her private life she shouldn’t have gone on a reality show. The skeletons are begining to come out. She continues to frame herself as an innocent victim. Her entire act is falling apart. Who dances in a bikini and hands out drinks for $100 bills (I doubt it maybe $3) and says, “It would be stupid not to.” She steals, that says alot about her character. Can’t wait to see what else she has done.
Thank you, Chris, I am easily confused!
Thanks Chris, I read it on your twitter the day you posted it. Well done. My compliments!
I still have a hard time believing that the Gov’t would issue a passport to someone with an outstanding warrant. Post 9/11, I thought they were really doing serious backround and wants/ warrants checks. Makes me nervous to think who’s in charge of issuing passports.
I’m not an American, but up here in Canada your passport is only valid for five years.
When it was time to renew, you had to start from scratch, with a new application.
They have changed it in the last year and a half, and now we can renew, instead of reapplying from scratch. Whether it is a renewal, or a new application, we have ALWAYS, and still do, have to pass a criminal background check, each time.
Thank you Chris. You wouldn’t happen to be related to John stark now would you?
I read that Florida would still have her mug shot. It will be a matter of time before someone finds it and posts it.
I was 18 once, and as broke as I was I never thought to STEAL. It just goes to show you that Melissa has NO moral compass. She’s as fake as her boobs and nose.
I noticed that Mel and her sisters are awful quiet on twitter since this story broke. The only one twittering is Joe Gorga and well, we all know he’s a moron.
What do you think of your good friend now Caroline? Classy eh?
Caroline Family are crooks so she would welcome it
Did you see the story on Jaq and Chris for fraud and bankruptcy? I guess some other siblings are involved in this mess also…..
Now it is being reported, that it is as much as $55 MILLION, being owed to the creditors.
WOW just WOW!
Which site did you see that on? For some reason, I can’t find the new info on the Laurita bk. Thanks.
@rhfan – It is on Chris Stark’s twitter timeline at: http://twitter.com/stark3923
Enjoy, she has quite a bit of info on there.
Has anyone looked this up and saw that there was a younger brother, a Laurita, who was Director of Marketing for the apparel company that Jac & Chris are filing bankruptcy for, that died very young? I looked for more info about that and couldn’t find any.
I was a starving student for many years. The most i “stole” was dishes from the dorm kitchens. Which i always retuned… well, almost always.
Say what?? You are entitled, considering how much tuition costs.
Melissa is a gold digger and even before she was propositioning men at the strip club for money she was stealing to get what she wants. Melissa believes she’s entitled. Look at her twitter account, she buys followers every day because she believes she deserves them even though it is fraudently obtained. This is especially concerning because her employer Bravo uses social media as a factor in who stays employed. BravoAndy are you embarassed yet? Melissa has made a complete fool out of Bravo, Kathy, caroline and Jax by involving them in her true calling…lying. Caroline and Jax were faves until Melissa sneakily involved them. However, teresa is no fool and she got the hell away from Mego and her sex deprived husband Joey. Its not Teresa”s electricity being shut off its Melissa”s. Only hope those poor Gorga children have heat and a warm home this winter and $ isn’t wasted on horrible songs and slutty clothes for Melissa. If rhonj are filming they’ll definitely have heat this winter so for Antonia, Gino and Joey’s sake hopefully that will be the case. Disgusting how the Gorga”s neglect their children. Melissa is an icy cold bitch and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Never forget this.
How does she.neglect her children? How do you know her electric was shut off, who broke that story?
As much as i dislike Melissa and her receeding hair line… I dont think she had muc to do with Jac and Carolines plan. That was 75% producer induced drama that those two tools fell for.
It was Melissa’s handler “producer” who put them all up to it since she was so in love with Mel and hated Teresa…..They all knew what was going on thats why Caroline knew months ahead of everyone that something was gonna come out about Teresa’s marriage!!!! Andy also would let her view the shows before everyone else so she knew what was gonna be shown…..
Listen people do stupid things when you are young. I am sure she knew she had an outstanding warrant. Before she went on TV she should have taken care of it. For god sakes she is a mother, instead of worrying about Teresa get your own house on order.
Hey Melissa you wanted to go and make the story up that Teresa twisted your arm at the party. Just remember karma’s a bitch and when it comes back it hits you harder.
Even at 18, Melissa was materialistic. She didn’t care how she got what she wanted as long as she got it. Also, how arrogant to blow off her court date. Most eighteen years would be afraid to ignore the law and court dates. Melissa never gave it a second thought. Oh Melissa your past is catching up with you!
Melissa is such a fake!First on Wendy Williams,she said she was getting kids together and had Joey in her arms and T twisted her arm,while Joey nwas in it and called her fake,than on the reunion it happen outside,while she was giving Gia there gifts,and some friend of Jac.seen it too!Hmmm…so which is it,was it inside while holding joey,or was it outside in front of Gia,while getting gifts??LIE!!Than jac.heared T saying Jac is a fucking bitch,and she doesn’t want to make up w/her,she just doing it for the carmers,We ball know Jac would of went in the RV and confronted T about it,if indeed she did hear that!But we all know Melissa told her thats what T told her,when carmers wasn’t on,but to just say jac heared it,so it wouldn’t get joey mad at her for causing Trouble again!Like T said,she knows she didn’t say it,and thats why she ask Jac,why didn’t you tape it,or come in and ask why i’am saying that,if we JUST made up..doesn’t make sence at all!Cause it didn’t happen!Now to say that T said melissa Daughter is ugly,is just plan stupid and sad!!One thing I seen and feel about T,is she isn’t mean and heartless when it comes to kids,her neice at that!!Keep watching and really pay attention guys,Melissa is showing who she really is,and so is Jac.!!See how jelly she was when T and Melissa had kids day,she said when melissa ask her to come over there where they was,and Jac, was like”You sure ya don’t want to be alone”under her breath…So Jac is so jelly of T and Mel relationship,so this is why she is helping to make T try to look bad!!Its all sad!!but teresa sees this and knows,thats why she keeps shining and being the STAR she is:)TEAM TERESA
Maybe Jac stayed away because she just got her sons diagnosis. She was going through stuff too but u would never.know because Teresa never shuts the f up about her relationship with her family.
teresa never shuts the f up? lol you gotta be kidding me? who’s been running their mouths and fingers on twitter, talk shows and magazines? the problem here is that everyone can’t stop talking about teresa! don’t get it twisted again.
@ rukidding
I so agree.
Amen @ru!!
And Teresa hasn’t done the same shoes? Wendy Anderson and she’s not on another in touch. Puleeze.
And notice the whole taping of both shows u just mentioned that she simply was clearning up with the other girls all said on those programs before her?
@cindi, the only reason Meho gets on the shows , is so the hosts can talk about Teresa!!! Teresa was doing shows before Lookers even came on RHONJ..
They threw everything they could at Teresa for 2 seasons, so for Melissa to wait until the season was over to share that Teresa had twisted her arm and other incidents makes me suspicious – she would have put it out there immediately when it happened, based on what we have seen on the show. Now, the attitude just seems to be a lot like the “ham game” – just throw it out there and see what sticks. Her game is as stupid as the ham game.
The next thing that’s going to surface once again and this time people will pay mine to it. The one year relationship she had in Florida with a Female, cant recall her name. The Female went to jail for a year for violating her probation. While she was in jail Melissa cheated on her with another Female. So she broke it off with Melissa.
it already did surface, check out famewhorgas. the whole story is there with pictures
Heard that Cat Rodriguez and Mel also had a fling, and that girls name is Jamie Bauer….
I think her name is Jamie?? I did not go over there and read it, but I did read it elsewhere.
Guess Bravo doesn’t do a background check on people they employ. We all know Melissa was a dancer, big whoop. Shop lifting, OK. Seems Bravo employs lots of dancers and felons. And I’m quit sure they knew, shhhh…..
IMO I think Bravo does do a background check and waits for all of this stuff to surface. How many housewives have no skeletons? What are the odd s of hiring these women and most have something to hide? Very smart of bravo to keep the interest going.
Thats wild i know she was with women and it was reported on R.T. but she was asked that at the reunion last year and totally denied it.but you know what i did the whole drug scene ran with bikers and got caught stealing at a major dept. store and i did this between 15 and 18 i changed and i’m 57 and totally straight for many years so yes you can change but her not clearing her name on a warrant and being with women is way out there.She is bi- sexual today that doesn’t change also the warrant she is a criminal and hasn’t gotten a ticket yet and that does change either.And she says she hasn’t stripped that’s a laugh!!!TEAM TRE
Yeah she said old friends were trying to hurt just because she was on tv now.. right… funny because I never heard of any other housewives having that problem, on any franchise! In fact, as I said before, I never heard of any others being accused of stripping, stealing, sleeping with and lying about other women.. Wait, only Danielle and Jax and they did both perform, LOL..
Of course people can change, but we all know she has not because she has not dealt with this. We are probably going hear it is a paperwork mistake or some other lameness, as always with Melissa. Cats-eye, you own up to your past and moved forward. She is still back there stuck in the muck. She has not changed at all. For her children’s sake I hope she does change very, very quickly. It is disgusting (“Jax”) when people cannot accept responsibility for their actions. We are looking at you too Jacqueline.
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!! Gold digging thief!!!
Love that name, I miss Oahu
Lmao. So funny to read all these comments in what people think they know.
No matter how some of you want to spin this story the fact remains that she stole. You can STOP with the she was too young bullshit scenario because that shit isn’t flying with the ones that know better. This bitch was and still is a THIEF. Get over it people and call a spade a spade.
Exactly!!!
From an interview last year:
How did your family react when you first started talking about joining The Real Housewives of New Jersey?
Melissa: We didn’t want to do it at first, and Joe was definitely saying no to the point where it was pretty much a no. Then, he took that I do sing into account and that it is a huge opportunity, and we kind of thought maybe we could outsmart them. This will be fun. They will show all the good parts and nothing bad will come out because we’re too smart for them. … I guess we were wrong.
Ya think Melissa? You two halfwits are way smarter then us! hahaha! What a pair of idiots!
Funny how Melissa said she joined the show to further her singing career, but when Teresa called her out on in season 3 at the reunion and in her blogs, Melissa completely denied going on the show to become a singer and get recognize. Lying bitch.
Well,well I see a story line for NJHWs S5.
We’ll see more troubles for Teresa and Joe,especially with upcoming trial.
And I think Melissa is next in line to be exposed.All this sudden “news” about M and Bravo casting T’s allies just confirms it.
I guess G vs.G drama continues..
I have a question. Why do Teresa’s fans automatically assume that if someone doesn’t like T,then she/he must love Melissa?
I don’t like Teresa,but Melissa annoyed the hell out of me since I saw her in S3, especially her attempts to be “high class” with a husband behaving like a cave man,and her “singing career”…
Excellent point, Masha. I’ve wondered that myself.
The point of this story is not what she did but who she is. She stands up tall on TV and tells us what a perfect person she is and every negative thing she can spew out of her mouth about Teresa and low and behold her perfect image has a little tarnish on it. She is the best actress on this show. She should get an award for the way she manipulates the audience into believing she is the victim in every situation. She knows exactly what she is doing. Very thought out. Say what you want about Teresa..she at least shows who she is up front..Melissa is sneaky and manipulating and in time it will show more and more until she is sitting alone on the couch and 4 other women who pretended to be her friend will tell every secret of her life to the entire nation. She will be the one alone and crying..
@Kathy
I agree.
Exactly love Teresa or hate her… she does not try to be something she isnt!
That is why I like her
She never came across that way to me. I have watched since season 1 and I find her to be the same, if not better in some ways. She has always appeared more realistic on this reality show than the others.
Part 2 of the reunion is tonight..Who’s ready?
Is part 3 going to be next week? I saw on another site, someone posted part 3 is going to be on tommorow, does anyone know if this is true?
Holy, I’m sure there is going to be a reunion part 3,592, and lost footage # 1,658. It’s never ending. Does anyone have an overload headache besides me? Way to milk it Bravo.
Tomorrow night, Monday, I think is the first NY reuion.
Hi Shipp
LMAO!! OMG, you are so right..The freakin never ending shit with NJ.
Thanks for letting me know about NY tommorw night
No kidding. If I knew back in April that Jersey would still be going I would not have committed to it. How can Bravo make some seasons 12 episodes and others exceede 15?
RHONY Reunion is on tomorrow night. I doubt Bravo would show two reunion shows on the same night.
@ embee
Shipp just posted that.
I read on another site a person posted they thought part 3 of the NJ reunion was going to air tommorow night( Monday). No one said anything about showing 2 reunion shows on the same night.
I don’t think this person knew that NY reunion was going to be on tommorow night.
I have a much better attitude about the reunion tonight, with all the new info about the cast!!!!
I am very vindictive today…
@ elemcee
I did see a preview where Teresa has Melissa sing, like mocks her and sings too, whatever.. Ugh, I don’t like that, seriously I like my girl Teresa but damn that was stupid.
Funny Melissa says something like I don’t say anything about your cookbooks,( or something likethat) I’m like bitch please, you have said “Teresa doesn’t write them, Tersa has her mother cook, and that they just post pictures of Teresa cooking. Teresa can’t cook’
Melissa is so full of shit. She has thrown stones at Teresas cookbooks since she has been on the show.
This is precisely why I have a problem with this woman. Shopping would not be such a huge deal, but since she spent two seasons pointing out all of Teresa’s ‘bad deeds’, people will make a big stink about her past transgressions. Personally I’m not too horrified by the arrest, but the fact that she never dealt with it is a huge red flag.
And I can’t believe people trying to spin facts. Spinning strippergate or who was uglier to whom at the reunion is one thing, but this? Really?
HANG on a second. If she is in fact a felon, how did she end up teaching second graders? Don’t they do background checks? Either this school is about to be slapped with legal action for not doing proper checks or Melissa was never a teacher.
There is no way in the computer age she was a teacher. She is definitely lying about that.
She never taught second grade ( there is no proof she did) because of the lies that came out of her own mouth! She ended up, from my understanding, being a Sunday School Volunteer . And Lord knows if that is even true or how many Sundays she actually did that. You have to go back and read and listen to past episodes and interviews. She changes her own story several hundred times.
And now her hair too. She thinks we are too stupid to see what she is doing. It is a complete insult to my intelligence. Makes me want to vomit!
I hope Tre holds it together, and I hope it does not get to ugly with the husbands.
I’M HAPPY 2/C THAT MOST OF/U HAVE A HEART, & THE INTELLIGENCE 2/KNOW THAT MEL WAS ONLY (18) YRS. OLD. PEOPLE DO STUPID THINGS WHEN THEY’RE YOUNG. SHE’S A GROWN WOMAN NOW, & HAS HAD NO OTHER OFFENCES ON HER RECORD. HOWEVER, WHY DO THE OTHERS ON THIS BLOG KEEP TRASHING ON HER. LINSEY LOHAN HAS DONE SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST STEAL, & SHE’S WALKING AROUND FREE AS AIR, NO TIME SERVED FOR ANY OF HER OFFENCES, WHICH BY THE WAY SHE’S STILL GETTING INTO TROUBLE. I THINK WE SHOULD ALL HAVE A HEART & A LIL FORGIVENESS. LET GOD JUDGE HER, U/HAVE NO PLACE ON THAT JURY.
the fact your post is all caps gives you no credibility.
And anybody who says its okay to steal is a hypocrite in my book.
I didnt steal when I was young because I brought up with morals.
Soooo all of those women acted like bullies,never forgave T,acted like they have no heart…..AND YOU SAID NOTHING!!
Mel’s past is coming out and we should just love and forgive her right away???
When Mel,Caro,Kathy and Jack show a little heart…then we’ll talk!!
You CAN NOT act like an azz ALL SEASON LONG and expect people to not bash you or judge you for STEALING!
This person always types in caps. They do not know how to spell and their grammar is ridiculous.
As I just posted above, it’s not just the shop lifting. She never faced the music and the matter is outstanding.
At least your shining example Lindsay Lohan faced the judge.
THAT is exactly the problem: she ran away. She knew it was wrong to steal but did so anyway, and then she ran away which she knew was wrong. When you face up to your misdeeds and stupid actions, people are much more lenient in their judgment bec. it is a sign you regret what you did and want to set things right and stat over. Melissa didn’t do that – and THAT is the problem.
no ther offenses on her record, expect being a dancer/bartender at a chichi bar, posting anonymously on a blog prior to season 1 airing, trashing Teresa, in cahoots with Danielle to feed her infomation that were lies to stir a pot and put Teresa in a bad light, actively working to drive a wedge further between her and her brother…. ummm yeah…her character is shining as bright as the northern star.
Wait you didn’t just judge Lindsey lohan…..
FYI 18 isn’t a child anymore. She was an ADULT. Period. And most children have the whole “Do not steal” rule ingrained in them by the time they’re 10.
Well, according the Palm Beach County’s CofC records, her step father made a notice of appearance for her in 2001 and there was some sort of action in October of 2006. So this little transgression has been ongoing and she knew it was there to clear up. AND, if in fact it is a misdemeanor, a quick trip to FL with an attorney next to her side would have taken care of that “record” in a heartbeat along with an expunged record.
She had to have step-daddy appeal for her in court, she had to call Joe because some guy stopped by the table at PFS and said hello. Does she take any responsibility for herself at all?????
SHE IS A FELON!!! A CRIMINAL!!!
SHE IS WANTED, AND IS A FUGITIVE FROM THE LAW!!!
THIS HAPPENED 15 YEARS AGO, WHY HASN’T SHE DEALT WITH IT BY NOW??? OH, AND BTW AT 18, YOU ARE AN ADULT!!!
Sorry folks, it seems like this one likes to type with all capital letters, so perhaps that is all she understands.
CHEERS!!!
Ha! You go girl
I was capping last week after part 1!!!!
Lindsay did do some time didn’t she? Rehab? Saw a judge like 5 times?
using Lindsey Lohan as comparison is HILARIOUS and invalidates your argument.
I don’t care that Melissa stole-I care that she calls others out on behavior that she engages in herself. This prior arrest just proves that Melissa is a lying hypocrite. What do you fail to understand? What lie has Teresa been caught in? And I mean PROVEN lie, not these lame accusations from her former friends and family. I need more proof than just Jacqueline saying she “heard it from a friend”. Melissa is an immature fame whore who needs to take a good long look in her children’s faces and see if she still wants to wiggle in front of a room full of leering “fans”, pretending to sing
Hey Audeliz, most people on here disagree with you and see Melissa as the sneaky, entitled thief she really is. Don’t get it twisted. Melissa Gorga would steal souls if she could find a way. Yet while she’s out there commiting identity theft daily the electricity in her modification loan house is getting turned out with winter around the corner. How pathetic fake and sad is it to pull up to your house in a financed bentley only to find you don’t have power to even turn a light on. Quit while your semi alive Melissa and Joe. You are beat, accept it.
Audeliz, I think you have missed the point. She was only 18 then, but how old is she now? Old enough to have this all taken care of by an attorney. I live in Palm Beach county and looked the charges are still open and there is a warrant for her arrest. She does pretend to be so perfect and all, so why has she not taken care of this?
JFYI For anyone who would like to verifty this information just Google Palm Beach Circuit Court Clerk, go to Criminal records, there is a free login section for the public. Put in her last name first Marco, then Melisa and you can confirm all that has been said here.
How do we know that they really had no power?

Nothing new in here buy glad somebody is throwing Andy Cohen’s name in the mix and calling him out.
I hope Andy sees this.
But*
So gross! So Jax is allowed to have a pass for being FREAK of the Year, but Teresa is expected to actually sit and be preached at, yelled at , threatened, ganged up on and humiliated? Lauren should not even be saying shit, but Im glad they have the actual quote from her referring to the Xanax. Im sure her and Aunt Jax had much fun when that kicked in, mixed with drinks.
michers I am about to give you my cell phone # so you can keep me company while I watch tonight LMAO!!
Next year’s RHONJ all cast trip will have to be to Miami, don’t you think?
I would love to see them go to Miami and have Kim’s friend (forgot his name/rich guy)give Caro a taste of her own medicine!!
I mean that guy CAN YELLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Cajsa, I would love to see them go to Miami, FLORIDA.
hehehehehe…
Here’s what will happen. If Melissa is ever arrested, they’ll look at the warrant and refuse her bail. She’s not is any serious trouble with this current warrant, but like I said, she’ll never be given a bail hearing. She’ll have to stay in jail until her court hearing.
She better hope she isn’t arrested for drinking and driving. She’ll be in jail for at least one month before it even goes to court.
She’s marked in the legal system as a flight risk. She’ll never be trusted by the courts.
I really don’t care if Melissa stole BUT own up to it. Take your punishment. I think running away is worse than the crime of shoplifting.
Even today, she never admits when she is wrong or has done wrong.
But aren’t people that run away cowards according to Lookers?
HA! Excellent point.
