The shade! Not Melissa Gorga getting shaded by Bravo! The network tossed some major shade at Missy G in the preview for this week’s episode of RHONJ! Let’s break it all down for you in case you missed it!
Check out this clip shared on the AllAboutTRH Instagram page:
The first clip was in the preview for this week’s episode of RHONJ (it’s still up on Bravo, FYI) but was surprisingly missing from the opening scene of tonight’s episode, which is shown in the second half of the clip.
If you remember, back in 2018, Melissa got in trouble for selling counterfeit “Chanel” products at her New Jersey boutique, Envy.
“Chanel has informed Envy by Melissa Gorga that all of the Chanel branded goods previously offered and sold by our company were counterfeit and illegal. As such, we have ceased all sales of Chanel branded goods and will not be carrying any such goods in our store in the future,” Melissa said in a statement on Instagram at the time.
It’s odd that Bravo would even include the Chanel clip in the preview, knowing Melissa’s past history with the brand. Talk about shady!
Meanwhile, AllAboutTRH has obtained EXCLUSIVE photos of renovations that Joe and Melissa are making to their new Franklin Lakes home.
The photos show that Melissa and Joe continue to update their new home after receiving backlash from fans and interior designers on social media.
The RHONJ couple previously claimed they loved their new house as is and wouldn’t be changing a thing. Guess they couldn’t take the heat from fans.
Oddly enough, the Bravo couple also claimed they were “confident” in their design choices and didn’t care what people said.
From the looks of it, Joe and Melissa are trying to give their home more dimension by adding a porch and an additional facade to the front of the house. It also seems they are doing some additional work on the side of their home. Clearly, there is a lot of work being done at the Gorgas.
It’s crazy that Joe and Melissa are making so many updates to a house that they spent two years building. I’m not sure the changes they are making are really helping the house look any better.
The couple has reportedly taken out a larger mortgage to do this additional work on their new home. The Gorgas took out a mortgage in April 2021 for $1.435M. They purchased the property on Indian Trail Dr and knocked down the previous home to build their current McMansion. Then in January 2023, the couple then refinanced and took out an additional $565k on their house. It is believed the Gorgas are using this money to upgrade their home.
This is crazy considering the $110k lawsuit Joe and Melissa are facing over the construction of the property.

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Melissa Gorga faced controversy in 2018 for selling counterfeit “Chanel” products at her boutique, Envy. Chanel confirmed that the goods were counterfeit and illegal, leading to the cessation of sales and a statement from Melissa on Instagram.
It is unclear why Bravo included the Chanel clip in the preview, especially considering Melissa Gorga’s past history with the brand. This decision could be seen as shady or controversial.
Joe and Melissa Gorga are making several renovations to their new Franklin Lakes home. Exclusive photos obtained by AllAboutTRH show updates such as adding a porch, an additional facade to the front of the house, and additional work on the side of the home. These renovations come after receiving backlash from fans and interior designers on social media.
