Melissa Gorga Says She Won’t Discuss Joe’s Mysterious Phone Call; And Talks The Toast Drama

August 21, 2012 | By | 63 Replies Continue Reading


RHONJ star Melissa Gorga took to her blog to discuss Sunday’s episode. Melissa says she refuses to weigh in Teresa’s marriage and discuss Joe’s mysterious phone call and talks the toast drama saying that it might have been just an honest mistake!

“Hi lovers!??Today is my 8-year wedding anniversary to the love of my life. I’m very proud of the family we created together and the bond we have. Marriage is never easy; you constantly have to work on it. I put my all into my marriage and show Joe respect — I respect him as a father and as a husband more than words can say. We are so blessed and I am grateful. He’s truly the love of my life! ? ?So we are still in Cali! How gorgeous is the estate we stayed at? Now this is vacation. It was truly breathtaking! The vineyard Chris and the boys took us to visit was so much fun. I had no idea it was supposed to be just business! The Manzo/Laurita clan didn’t look so happy. Sorry, guys! We were on vacation and there was wine everywhere… I don’t think we should have gone on that business trip! LOL! We probably should have stayed at the estate and let them do their business thing.? ?The surprise 50th birthday dinner for Caroline was so sweet and so special coming from her family. I love the bond that family has, they are unbreakable. Whenever I see them all together, I always think of my own family with one girl and two boys. I know we will be as happy as they are when I’m 50! God bless them. The speeches were perfect, and we all shed a tear!

I’m not going to get into the phone call we saw Joe have. I didn’t like it when Teresa made accusations about my marriage, so I’m not going to do it to hers. They have four daughters that need to be protected from this, so I will leave it to Joe and Teresa to explain it. How they choose to live within their marriage has nothing to do with any of us. I was very upset when I watched the episode, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. We may have our differences, but I would never want this to happen to her.

When Teresa and I were talking in the RV, I thought it was hysterical! I was teasing her and she was laughing. It was perfect. I needed to explain to her that when she puts out these articles about her marriage and kids in a magazine and accepts a paycheck, then it’s no longer just her business, it is now everyone’s business. So she can’t get upset when people discuss it. I felt like she was listening to me, but I’m not sure, because I just saw another one yesterday. To each their own. Just trying to help and get her past this hump.

I did think Teresa was trying to make a nice toast, but the fact that she mentioned all the ladies besides Kathy ruined it. I can see why Kathy was upset and a little embarrassed. Relationships aren’t about taking turns. It shouldn’t be that it’s either one relationship or the other. It might have just been an honest mistake. Not really sure, what do you guys think?”

 

I just find it annoying that Melissa constantly has to say “I won’t discuss Teresa’s marriage because I didn’t like when she discussed my marriage.” Yea, we get it! You’ve made that point a thousand times! Thoughts on what Melissa had to say?!

    I think Melissa is very smart and learned last season that she wasn’t winning her argument that Teresa is a monster. So she has tried being nicer in her blogs. I bet if the majority of the audience sided with Caro, Jac, Kathy, & Mel with their little plan to take T down, her blog would read completely different. I think she’s fake

    • Jennifer says:

      Really this is the first blog ever where she didn’t go after Teresa’s jugular. You must not read Melissa’s blogs if you came to your conclusion.

      • Jennifer says:

        Please read last week’s blog. Melissa was going after Teresa.

        • Isabella Patricia says:

          MeHo says that Tre has for daughters that need to be protected from this, but she needs to put a sock in it because she went on the show and destroyed them. Was she trying to protect Tre’s beautiful, innocent daughters??? NO! She just wanted instant fame and money! Fake, fake, fake woman!

          Who cares if Tre has another Magazine cover??? She’s the only one they want, and she sells copies. Can’t say the same for he rest. HAHAAA! If MeHo was asked to be on that cover, she would be on it in 2 seconds, and would rag on Tre because she knows she’s irrelevant without bringing up Tre’s name. So, MeHo should shut up and stop dissing Tre all the time because MeHo is the one constantly talking trash. Passive aggressive much? Enough with it. Bravo better ruin her next season. It’s only fair!!!!!

          • Isabella Patricia says:

            Correction: FOUR DAUGHTERS.

          • T says:

            So agree Isabella!

          • T says:

            She’s also twisting the toast around a bit. Come on…she was thanking Chris & Jac…Caroline’s 50th & she was happy about Mel & Joe. Her toast wasn’t just about the women on the show. T was trying to be nice but all of them have to twist around everything she says. These women are a joke.

    • Michele says:

      i don’t find her to be smart at all. in fact she is extremely transparent.

    • Obvious says:

      ^^^^^^^^ Agree, Mima.

    • YeahRight says:

      Melissa is full of it , if she really doesn’t want to mention the phone call , then why not just not bring it up at all. Her saying, “How they choose to live within their marriage has nothing to do with any of us. I was very upset when I watched the episode, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. We may have our differences, but I would never want this to happen to her.’ is her IMPLYING that its true. She’s a damn troublemaker and always will be.

  2. marivera says:

    Caroline and Melissa are both toning things down…Caro needs to promote her upcoming book and Melissa will NOT fight this battle alone…I think she is over Teresa(NOT!) and too busy copying Jlo and Beyonce..Lol

    • donnalee says:

      Well let’s hope she is..because she really needs to focus on learning to sing.

      • Isabella Patricia says:

        Hahaha! You got that right! LOLOL. Even though she tries to practice or focus singing, she’ll still be horrible at it. TRUST! This woman just doesn’t have the strive to work hard for the things that’s already given to her. It’s okay if she doesn’t try hard, but when everything is given to her… She would have taken that opportunity to try harder and achieve bigger with her FAILED SINGING CAREER, but she’s so wrapped up in Teresa and her ugly appearance, that she only focuses on that. She loves to gossip and talk about Tre constantly. Does she ever just drop it and focus on her children??? She is so exhausting, this woman.

      • Bionic says:

        Whoa! JLO- anyone can sign like that talentless voice but BEYONCE!? NEVER! lol
        What she should do is tell her Laurita’s bffs to pay Beyonce’s Boo’s $$$ back.

  3. Say What?? says:

    Melissas comment is similar to Carolines passive aggressive digs at Dina Manzo. In every single interview she would say, shes my baby sister, ill take a beating for her, i wont hit back.. Implying that Dina is hitting her when Dina has kept her mouth shut about Caroline… You seriously have to be blind and deaf not to see these people for the hypocrites they are. Boggles the mind!

    • Isabella Patricia says:

      Ditto! Can’t stand them. CaroClown always says that which implies that Dina is a liar, and it bugs when CaroClown always says “I’ll take a beating for her, I’ll never hurt her, She’s my baby sister” yada yada yada! People will think Dina is the one that’s evil or something. Why do I say that? I’ve read both of their Twitters before, and many have tweeted Dina saying how she could do that to her own sister, why she would pick Tre over her, why she’s not loyal to Caroli e when Caroline has never fought back or hurt her, and so on… Caroline loves playing little miss innocent, that’s for sure!

      As far as MeHo… Fake, fake, and more fake! She’s lame, and she’s knows what we all think of her. That’s why she tries to stay quiet in her blogs, but she always ALWAYS has to throw in little passive aggressive comments about Tre all the time. Pathetic!

  4. donnalee says:

    Actually I don’t remember Teresa discussing her brother’s marriage to anyone on the show. This season started with her brother putting out there a *private* conversation. AND that is the real reason WHY she is not going there because Teresa never discussed their marriage on the show unless her brother or Melissa brought it up. DOH!!! Does she really think viewers are stupid??
    She is totally right that maybe they should have stayed behind while those there for business did just that. Of course, that would be way too boring for Bravo and it’s much better for them to make the Gorgas, Wakiles and Giudices look like they had no manners. DOH, again, the toast was to the hosts of the trip and to her brother and Melissa because they spent most of their time with them. If Kathy wanted credit she could have spent more time with her cousin and less time licking Caroline’s ass.

    • DLO says:

      You are absolutely right what I can remember is Joe Gorga did put it on NATIONAL TV their private conversation. Tre did it in private NOT on TV so everyone can see so once they put it out there Tre responded to what he said.

  5. LJ says:

    It was another dig at Teresa. Totally agree w/ you Rox! It annoys me to no end that she acts like she’s taking the high road. But in all actuality she’s still bringing it up. If I was her I wouldnt have even mentioned it. Everything about her is so damn fake and it drives me crazy. You can tell in her words talking about the Manzo’s. And dont foget the other dig about another magazine coming out! Get over it Melissa! Your worse then Teresa when it comes to wanting to be famous. Your stupid song “On Display” made absolutely no sense since you’d just joined the cast and clearly your not Lady Gaga where everybody wants to know what your doing. Why dont you worry more about your painfully pathetic singing career or your family instead of what magazine Teresa is on? And its so very clear your trying to do damage control and clean your blogs up. But people arent blind. Your so very transparent in all your politely worded digs!

    • cammierari says:

      by the way, didn’t melissa put out a magazine story this week about what a good little wifey she is and how spectacular her marriage is? If that isn’t a direct shot at Tre, I don’t know what it is. Kicking her sister in law when she’s down…

  6. Georgiana says:

    Passive aggressive comments as per usual from this woman. This “issue” with the toast at the table has got to go. Kathy stabs Teresa in the front AND back. Why would T ever want to toast to her?
    Mess should also not compare her parenting of two boys & one girl with the Manzo dynamic. The last thing in the world she should want in her children are “adults” like the miserable, pathetic Lauren and the layabouts that are Chritterfur and ALmost.

    • Keppler says:

      I don’t understand why anyone would ever want to make up with a backstabber like Kathy. Your brother’s your brother so I guess I get that, but the way the whole Wakile family acts, they don’t know the meaning of loyalty. To use Caroline’s favorite word, they’re a disgrace. Even the kids–how could Teresa’s little ones feel comfortable around them after reading their Twitters? These people got a taste of fame and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep it, you couldn’t turn your back on any of them for a second.

  7. reddvette says:

    Melissa says she is not going to say anything about the Gudice marriage, maybe because she has said plenty in the past and it made her look crappy. As for the toast Kathy was not the only female not called by name, Lauren was not called and neither was Greg. Melissa knows Teresa was not trying to be mean. Melissa not Slowjoe seems to distancing herself from the bitter pack.

  8. holy cannoli says:

    Damn Melissa couldn’t you just say that you felt bad for Teresa and left it at that?

    Also you saw the episode, you know that Caroline was planting seeds with Kathy before dinner. You know damn well there was NOTHING WRONG with Teresa’s toast.. Take a freakin stand and say it!!

    • Isabella Patricia says:

      She wouldn’t say that because MeHo NEVER feels bad for Tre. It’s really sad because you could tell MeHo enjoys seeing Tre in pain. You could see it in her face, and even though she tries to fake it so much, I could see the happiness in her dead eyes. She’s so evil looking.

    • FIERY SICILIAN says:

      She can’t do that, one needs to be principled and have integrity for that to be a consideration, but one can still hope right????

      • holy cannoli says:

        Yes Fiery Sicilian

        One can only hope!

        Ok, she felt like she had to turn the “phone call” issue into something about her, right I get it. At least she did say she felt bad for Teresa, that was something.

        But Damn!! Stand up and say the bs about the toast, was just that bs!! She freakin knows it was bs, Caroline was looking for a headache that wasn’t there!! She got all of them to see / hear something that complete bs!!

        • FIERY SICILIAN says:

          Cannoli, they all take turns playing “here no evil, see no evil, and pretend to speak no evil”about each other but when Teresa is the object, they become contortionist in order shovel their crap on her.

          All I can say is I am sure glad none of these woman are in my family, or worse yet my daughters, they’d be getting a little old fashioned Sicilian slipper justice and my aim is pretty good.

  9. hoolie says:

    I think Meho is reinventing/positioning herself for Season 5. Bravo probably advised her to soften herself for 5′s storylines. She has been UNUSUALLY quiet on twatter since the whole Jac/Teresa friendship breakdown and more neutral in her blogs…. something is up, that’s for sure. You can’t tell me for someone who hasn’t spoken to Teresa for a year, that she is on her ‘side’ now. It’s a career move for sure.

  10. Jc says:

    Please she did not say she respects her husband and he is a great husband and father – there is zero respect in that marriage – he treats u like a paid whore – like a hole to dump his poison – THAT is quite the opposite of respect my dear!!

  11. Jennifer Farmer says:

    People are so ridiculous. Bash her when she talks about Teresa and bash when she doesn’t? I don’t get it.

    • Jennifer says:

      The blog is passive aggressive. It is much better than her other blog from 7 days ago, but it is definitely creating innuendo. Please, it is patently clear to be a passive aggressive blog against Tre.

      • Jennifer Farmer says:

        Or maybe you CHOSE to read it that way. Just find it funny how one sided all the comments are that’s all.

        • holy cannoli says:

          @ Jennifer Farmer

          So comment on Melissa’s Blog and not the comments on the thread. It’s pretty easy.

        • portland says:

          I agree.

        • rukidding? says:

          JENNIFER FARMER!! i CHOOSE to read it that way because it’s pretty obvious from melissa’s countles blogs, twitters, facebook comments, interviews and the show that melissa is a liar, backstabber, two faced, passive agressive, cocky witch. this is what melissa does. she tries to act like a sweet innocent sister in law just trying to do the right thing and get along with her favorite sister in law. in reality she’s just trying to fool everyone and turn every against teresa. this blog has a few backhanded insults to teresa saying she won’t talk about teresa’s marriage even though teresa talked about hers. that is a blantant insult. also saying teresa left out kathy out of the toast another slam. if you can’t see that then that is your problem.

          • Jennifer Farmer says:

            Wow what a rant! Too much time on your hands sweety! :)

          • rukidding? says:

            lol jennifer. you think that was a rant? you obviously don’t know what a rant is. yeah it took me all day to write a short rant in a few seconds. whew!! that was hard work. looks like it took you all day as well because you wrote how many comments in here? put all your comments together and it would be the same as mine.

  12. Beth says:

    Teresa didn’t discuss Melissa’s marriage on camera, she spoke directly to her brother, off-camera, months before the show aired. He, Joey, decided to bring that conversation out on the show. From my understanding there are rumors floating all around NJ about little Mrs.ondisplay, and that is reason Teresa spoke to her brother privately. I would speak to my brother if I heard his wife was a skeeve, too. Who wouldn’t?
    Secondly, is Melissa oblivious to the fact that they’re all on a reality TV program? Regardless of Teresa doing a magazine articles or not, their business is out there. Furthermore, I don’t think it matters one iota whether Teresa is getting paid for the articles or not. She is building a brand, and if I were on a show with a shady-cast like Teresa is, I would be the first to air my dirty laundry, too. At least, this way, she gets to tell her side of the story. In fact, anyone doing a reality TV program would be smart to post their business before someone else had the opportunity to capitalize on their misfortune. That wouldn’t make her a bad person, it would deem her an intelligent business woman. Btw, Teresa’s blog was amazing this week on Bravo. Pure genius. Love her.

    Mellisa is a media fame whore

  14. singer030587 says:

    One word FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go away you trash

  15. Well, I love Melissa, and hope to see her on more covers…Tre has overdone THAT episode!!!! We can see the writers’ and producers’ influence on the last three weeks’ of shows. FatJoe has rebuffed his wife on every bed in every hotel, including his own bedroom, and now sleeping alone (according to Melania)….I do think Melissa has wkd hard enuf to get more of a storyline, but how can she not see what a Re***ded a**hole she’s married to. He may work hard, but she has to be embarassed by the way he acts. Wouldn’t an average wife ask him to drink less while his mike is “on”, or to try to keep it clean, because I notice now that HIS daughter is starting to act out like Tre’s kids, and that only means she’s becoming aware and looking for attention. I feel that if Tre can ruin her kids’ psychological futures, anybody can. The re***** in the Manzo family are too old to educate!!!! But seriously, is Joe too stupid to understand; is Melis too greedy to at least ask him? POISON, is that what he gives to his wife? He is such a stumpy little stoodge, I get ill just looking at him. I guess when he watches his behavior it looks OK to him, but except for the size of the house, she could do much better. Oh – it looks like their sons aren’t going to grow too much more, too. That’s really sad, but the daughter is beautiful like her mother. ………too long????? Sorry, nicki

    • Beth says:

      Out of curiosity… do you think Bravo avoids filming Meho because her husband is such a famewh**e? If it’s not, Joey G, it’s Mel’s sisters. I have yet to see who Melissa really is. I don’t believe her talking head scenes are genuine, I feel they’re as phony as her concern for Teresa and Joey’s relationship. That’s all we see of her, really. It would appear Joey is the HW. Not Melissa. Doesn’t JG’s camera hogging attest to the fact that he was jealous of Teresa’s success & that truly is where their issues stem from. Envy? He clearly loves it.
      As far as the children go – I don’t know why people assume Teresa is harming her children by having them on a reality TV program? Gia was a performer before the family joined Bravo. That is her passion. I think Teresa is right to encourage her, she is talented. Furthermore, all children misbehave. Some more than others. IMHO, it is far more normal to see children of their age range misbehaving than acting like mimes. If I were concerned, I would be far more concerned about the 3 children that rarely speak. I don’t believe Teresa’s children act up because they’re on a show, that is made clear with Gabby. She behaves like Melissa’s children. Quiet. We are watching 7 different children with 7 different personalities. Two of them are far more outgoing & outspoken than the others. 2, not 4?

      • Bionic says:

        Filming the Gorgas- No they have no furniture at their house-.

        They have nothing else but drama against tre to film with them. What are they going to show? Bad singing, bad boning, and the empty mansion they have.

  16. Tee says:

    I’m going to be completely honest. I don’t like Mel…so unless she put something like “I feel bad for Tre, I hope she knows I am here for her if she needs me. Also I don’t think the toast was a snub, hopefully Kathy realizes that” and left it like that, I would probably have a problem with anything that she writes. She’s fake and passive aggressive. Also she’s a lie, she quite often throws the first punch and then gets pissed when someone punches back. I’m so over her!

  17. MsMaria says:

    What does she owe these people? Her friends stabbed her in the back, her cousin stabbed her in the back, and her own brother and his wife did the same. Why does she need to kiss their ass when they went behind her back to get on a jankie ass show? She doesnt owe anyone shit, if anything kat should kiss her cousins ass for helping her get some kind of fame. As far as melissa calling tre a fame whore..pot meet kettle. You came on the show first season and thought you were jlo. You didnt even let us get to know you before you wanted to implode up our asses with your horrid music. And your sisters are famewhores too all over twitter. You people are sick!

  18. Someone Who is Watching says:

    Oh Please!

    “I’m not going to get into the phone call we saw Joe have. I didn’t like it when Teresa made accusations about my marriage, so I’m not going to do it to hers. They have four daughters that need to be protected from this, so I will leave it to Joe and Teresa to explain it. How they choose to live within their marriage has nothing to do with any of us. I was very upset when I watched the episode, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. We may have our differences, but I would never want this to happen to her”

    You were dancing in the street when you seen this it is exactly what you were hoping for. Don’t think for one minute that the public is going to let you hop on the pity train for Tre at this point. You engineered the train to destroy her in the first place!

  19. michers says:

    She is such a lying manipulator, I cannot even get my comment out. So sick of her little 13 year old remarks and conversation skills. Her blogs are filled with pettiness and lies. Congrats Mel- you are in the A-hole crew. Hope you 4 enjoy each other until they pick the next one to gang up on.. Have fun!! Please, no postcards from Hell! I hope Danielle doesn’t ever pop up with those conversations you all had :) * Love how you mentioned the sex-tape idea to Tre, but we all know you and your pig stumpy hubby probably already have a collection that is about to go missing, wink wink..

    • MsMaria says:

      You know what the problem is- melissa is mad no one accepted her when she was introduced to the family, this was clear the last episode when they were traveling to the casini campground. Joes mama thought she was a whore and it probably pissed her off that she wasnt more accepting of her. I think tre was fine at first but then stories came out of the wood work, and even joe has said he knows some friends that has banged melissa. So with people coming out telling them stories that his wife was a stripper, hooking up with that rich greek guy, and even joeys own friend, of course tre got defensive. Hell i would too if people were telling me stories about my sis in law. I would tell my brother to be careful because obviously people are painting her in the wrong light. She never got acceptance and it pissed her off so of course she was going to get back at tre if not her mama in law. Melissa acts quirky and cute and of course shes likeable to people. Shes the real famewhore. Anyone see the way she was acting last yrs posche fashion show? Acting like a damn wannabe tyra banks or some shit..and guess who was stuck up her butt? Marco sisters. What about beatstock and she wasnt even in the damn ballad? Who was up her anal cavity? Marco sisters. Who decided to stand up and talk shit to tre at the christening? Lysa simpson marco. These people are so damn desperate for even a nano second of camera time. Lysa was obviously talking shit about her sister to tre and got called out for it. My mother says everything comes to light, the truth will always be told…i hope to god melissa is put to shame and that crazy ass frog kathy that i dont even acknowledge apart of the show cause she doesnt seem relevant or even holds my damn interest. Thats sad.

  20. renee says:

    It should be clear to anyone who watches RHONJ that Jacqueline, Caroline, and Melissa have flipped a switch on the Teresa bashing in one or two episodes! However each one of them still puts in a dig or digs at her no matter how much they try to play nice. Do these people think viewers are idiots to not see them or bravo changing the tone all of a sudden? Just because they are being nice doesn’t mean that viewers are going to all of a sudden like them or even pay attention to what they say period!!! I don’t even read any of their blogs unless Roxy posts them here and most of the time i’m skimming through them because I can’t take the hypocrisy. A lot of the times I would love to reach through the television and strangle these women and i’m suprised that Teresa hasn’t lost her temper already. I think she has composed herself very well so far and has kept things raw and truthful. Do these women not get that the magazines can write whatever they want? I highly doubt teresa is spreading bad press about her and her family out there to sell magazines! That statement is so insane that I want to slap the women that keep saying it to her. I swear these women spend more time worrying over what teresa is doing or saying that they don’t even see how stupid they look to us viewers. If they put more energy into their business ventures as they do worrying about what teresa’s doing I bet they might be a little more successful with them. I have never seen a real housewives show where everyone on the show spends more time bashing and worrying about one housewife like we see with the N.J. housewives. I find it amusing that Teresa actually gives them so little to talk about and when they take the little bit they can find it shows these women and the husband housewives look ridiculous

    • renee says:

      Further more each housewife has lost credibility with the viewers , other than their original fans (who they seem to be losing as well). Teresa really needs to reevaluate whether or not it’s in her best interest to stay on the show. I would love nothing more than to see her stay. I hate to even suggest that she quit but really it would serve bravo and the other housewives right if she did leave. No matter if there is drama or not Teresa is the star of that show and people just love watching her and her family. Her girls are naughty at times but so precious and fun to watch. Teresa’s over the top and gawdy but she wouldn’t be teresa if she wasn’t like that. The fact that melissa is trying so hard to be like her is a bit amusing. There is only one teresa! I also think Joe needs to apologize to his wife and his family publically for how he has talked to teresa (at least take some responsibility for it). I know that sounds a bit over the top but the viewers have a really bad taste of him in their mouths over his statements to his wife and about her. It would be very humbling for him but it would also show his wife that he is not only truly sorry but that he is willing to humble himself enough to put it out there like that. Not positive that would happen but I know it would put him in a different light if he did it and meant it. However only his wife would know his true sincerity. I hope for the best with those two. I don’t think he’s a bad man just think his idea of honoring his wife is not where it should be. A husband and wife should always uplift each other in private and in public. Just my opinion. I love seeing them together.

  21. Bionic says:

    Tre should bounce already and we will … (crickets)

  22. Park view says:

    Just wait Melissa when carol gets tired of your “nice” act and calls you out for all the things you told her and Jac about Teresa. Maybe then we will find out “what she did” and “what she said”. And you Melissa will be stepping on some fat chubby toes girl.
