RHONJ: Melissa Gorga’s Family Drama Unveiled

In honor of an all-new episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey airing tonight on Bravo, we thought it would be fun to take a little stroll down memory lane with RHONJ Melissa Gorga.

It’s no secret that the drama between the Giudices and Gorgas has been ongoing for well over a decade. For the most part, Bravo fans have watched all the drama play out on the show and on social media.

On RHONJ, one of the biggest issues Joe and Melissa Gorga currently have with Teresa Giudice is that she didn’t invite Melissa’s mom, Donna Marco, and her sisters, Lysa Simpson, and Kim Pirrella, to her upcoming wedding.

AllAboutTRH recently broke down why the Marco family should have never expected to score an invite to Teresa’s wedding to Louie Ruelas.

In the article, we do a deep dive into the drama between Teresa and Melissa’s family, mainly her sisters Lysa and Kim. When Teresa first joined RHONJ, the Marco family gushed about her growing stardom however, as Teresa’s star continued to rise, their social media posts turn more and more negative, especially when Melissa joined the show during season three.

Now, AllAboutTRH is sharing some throwback clips from RHONJ where Teresa begs Melissa to have her family stop tweeting about her.

In one clip, Melissa, Joe, and Teresa sit down with a therapist. Teresa tells Melissa, “Please ask your mom, your aunt, to not tweet about me. I’ve seen it.”

Melissa insists, “they don’t tweet about you,” before demanding to Teresa show her the tweets. She adds: “They would never. They say nothing but positive things.”

“Tell them not to get involved,” Teresa fires back.

After Melissa’s done gaslighting Teresa, she quickly changes her tune and says that her family is justified in tweeting about Teresa because they are simply standing up for her.

“What if they did? If they did, guess what? If someone hurts Melania, I hope Gia tweets about them. I bet you we’re gonna want that Gia to tweet for that Melania or that Audriana,” Melissa quips.

Joe then chimes in, saying that he and Melissa are so “confident” that they just scroll past nasty tweets about themselves.

Then at the reunion, Andy Cohen asks Melissa: “You accused Teresa of having an army doing her dirty work. What about the tweets that your sisters send out? Are they your army?”

“That is Teresa making stories up cuz she’s the one that always says that about my sisters. There’s not one tweet,” Melissa claims.

Once again, Melissa is gaslighting and lying about her sister’s constantly trashing Teresa on social media.

Teresa brings up a photo that her sisters recently tweeted of her and Penny with the caption “girlfriends.” The mom of four notes that she sent the post to her brother when she saw it.

“Okay, now you’re that you’re right about, but “what’s wrong with that?” Melissa replies as Joe inserts himself, saying, “That’s their sister.”

“And I’m your sister,” Teresa fires back. “They should have never gotten involved.”

Melissa and Joe make it clear that they are fine with Melissa’s family trashing Teresa.

“My sisters are my sisters. There’s nothing I can do. They’re gonna back me up until the end,” Melissa said.

“Okay. If both of yous are okay with your sister’s trashing me on Twitter. Then [fine],” Teresa replies.

The drama between the Giudices and Gorgas has been ongoing for over a decade. It mainly revolves around issues between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga’s family, particularly her sisters Lysa and Kim. The drama has played out on the show and on social media.

: Teresa Giudice did not invite Melissa Gorga’s mom, Donna Marco, and her sisters, Lysa Simpson and Kim Pirrella, to her upcoming wedding. The article explains that the Marco family should not have expected an invitation due to the ongoing drama between Teresa and Melissa’s family. The negative social media posts from Melissa’s family about Teresa, especially after Melissa joined the show, may have contributed to this decision.

When Teresa asked Melissa to have her family stop tweeting about her, Melissa initially denied that they were tweeting anything negative. However, she later justified their tweets, stating that they were simply standing up for her. Melissa and her husband Joe expressed that they were confident enough to scroll past nasty tweets about themselves.

Lara with the receipts! Yes good point. Melissa needs these idiots to back her up because she knows the truth. She came on this show to 'destroy Teresa', and she's been at it season after season. So tired of it. Fire Melissa pls. She has no storyline without Teresa. If she actually spent time living her life instead of obsessing and being envious over Teresa, she would have a life.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Melissa’s family all out supporting her all these years and anyone who follows the show on Twitter has seen the tweets and that is absolutely fine. The fake news however was Joe Gorga outrage acting with, fake news, when he knew Teresa would never invite Melissa family after so much negativity all these years. What was Teresa supposed to do, go back and replay the clips and tweets from years past. This is just ridiculous at this point the back and forth. The fake outrage was silly. The storyline fight needs to end, it is so repetitive on both sides and both Teresa and Melissa needs new storylines for the show to survive.

I can’t agree it was so negative. I remember lots of footage from past few years with Theresa’s dad and melissa’s mother. I’m from an Italian polish family and I kinda agree with Joe, they should have been invited.

I agreed in the beginning that at least Donna Marco should have been invited. But after some thought Tre's parents are in heaven, and this is her second marriage. Add in the Marco clan don't hold back their dislike for her so I think Tre did the right thing by not inviting any of them.

I remember when Teresa had a gossip site made about her brother and Melissa called Fame Whorgas. The content on there was horrific and when they finally made up the site disappeared. Touche!

That was an independent blog site. I know you want to believe Teresa did that, but it was a RHONJ fan and she had to shut it down eventually. Some fans get very behind their respective Housewives.. and this person did. Some of the info linked to court records was correct , but others was not and Bravo PR was eventually able to get the site taken down (or most of it) some of it..legally passable stuff is still on the web places.

Well then Teresa was adding info to her because there was so much information for a crazed fan to know.
Rhoda Camel ? March 14, 2023 - 9:40 pm
She was definitely providing them info and the majority of the blogs had to be removed after Melissa threatened to sue the site.
Marc March 14, 2023 - 9:18 pm
Wow! Teresa has such power!!

LMAO! First this site posts tweets from over a decade ago and now this.. the desperation is setting in. The convicted felon is losing all the polls on WWHL and MSNBC ran a story where 68 percent of the viewers want the felon GONE from the show. So much for her "redemption" season, because the felon is coming across worse than ever. hence this site attempting to make Melissa look like the devil. Melissa is no saint, but even on her worst day, she is still better than the felon on her best day.

Sooo the Guidice girls are lied about by Ms Marco's claim that she put food on their table. The girls speak up for themselves but Ms Marco and her husband think the girls shouldn't be involved. But hey tweet the support, correct the lie, tell the truth via tweet. hahahaha

Who do you think asked the Gorgas to film with Joe in the three part Special when Teresa was in jail? They didn't just rock up - it doesn't work like that. So someone asked them to film for a reason. And yes Joe Giudice did need the money while his cash cow was sitting in jail. She was the breadwinner in that house. So that is Melissa's point about helping put food on the table. Teresa in previous THs said her brother and Melissa was there for them when Joe went to prison. Even Gia just in a recent TH said they were close until Luis showed up.

No-one is disagreeing that the Gorgas were asked to film. What is being disputed is the fact they only came to help Juicy and children when the cameras were rolling and that was it. And for the Gorgas to want a trophy for this moment is disgusting. They don't do anything without wanting a prize for their "effort". Nothing genuine about them.
