Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga pretends to be so innocent, but in reality, she’s one shady betch. Find out why!

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice face off at the RHONJ reunion.

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga pretends to be so innocent, but in reality, she’s one shady betch.

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice have been beefing for YEARS, but now, amid their most recent drama at the Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 reunion, the 44-year-old is going lower than low.

After part two of the Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 reunion aired on Tuesday, Melissa dropped some shady ass merch at her New Jersey-based boutique, Envy.

According to Melissa’s Instagram, Bravo fans can purchase merch that reads: “I know you hate me, but just try and control yourself,” along with a pair of freshly glossed lips.

RHONJ merchandise

This design pays homage to the statement Melissa made towards Teresa during part one of the RHONJ season 13 reunion. Remember this?

Fans can score the merch at the online site for Envy. The designs come in a black crewneck ($55) or a blue hoodie ($55).

This merch from Melissa isn’t that big of a deal. Melissa probably saw the butt-loads of money the Vanderpump Rules cast recently made on their merch and wanted to cash in.

However, Melissa crossed the line when she also announced that she was selling handcuff bracelets amid her never-ending feud with Teresa.

“Grab them before they’re GONE!! Only a few left of The Handcuff Link Bracelets ($50) #rhonj #melissagorga #envybymg,” read an Instagram post from Melissa’s Envy boutique.

The post included the song “Locked Up” by Akon. Again, this post comes just after part two of the RHONJ reunion aired, and Melissa told the RHONJ OG: “Teresa, we didn’t commit mortgage fraud. You did doll face.”

As we know, this is all a dig directly aimed at Teresa, who served 11 months in prison for fraud in 2015. At the RHONJ reunion, Teresa accused her brother Joe Gorga and Melissa of playing a role in her going to prison. She claims that Joe and Melissa were in contact with her ex-husband Joe Giudice’s former business partner. Joe Giudice, who served 41 months in prison, backed up Teresa’s claims on a recent podcast, where he claimed to have proof of Joe and Melissa’s involvement.

Naturally, Bravo fans had quite a bit to say about Melissa’s shady merch drop.

“OMG! The Gorgas really hit rock bottom!!! They need any penny they can get,” one fan commented.

“Imagine making money off of being rude to your family,” a second fan wrote in agreement.

“Good lord… this is nothing to brag about.. anything to make a buck,” a third fan said.

“Girl, you cannot call out Teresa for making her story lying about her brother when you’re coming out with merch like this…. Babe, you’re making your storyline about Teresa and trying to profit off of it,” another Bravo fan commented, calling Melissa’s antics “Not cute!”

Part three of the RHONJ season 13 reunion airs on Tuesday, June 13, at 8 pm, on Bravo.

Thoughts on this all? Sound off below!

Melissa Gorga’s beaded bracelets are a line of merchandise associated with her brand and persona on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” (RHONJ). These bracelets are adorned with beads and often feature slogans or designs related to Melissa Gorga or the show.

The controversy surrounding Melissa Gorga’s beaded bracelets stems from some of the slogans or designs featured on the merchandise. Certain bracelets may have sparked debates or raised concerns due to their potentially sensitive or divisive nature, leading to public discussions and reactions.

As of now, Melissa Gorga has not issued an official statement addressing the controversy surrounding her beaded bracelets. However, given the dynamic nature of reality television and public opinion, it’s possible that developments or responses may emerge in the future.

Another crap article by Lara Sophia, maybe you should get some counseling sweetheart, your obsession with Teresa is not normal...but...birds of a feather flock together, so maybe you are exactly like her and that's why you defend her actions so much. How much is she paying you to write these?

I just can’t anymore! Bravo please get rid of the Gorgas! They can’t hide the lack of authenticity anymore!

I heard that the proceeds are going to be put in a trust for Teresa’s next bail bond.

And Treape can't survive without breaking the law! She's a million in tax debt! And nive try, but her store has been thriving for a lonnggg time now.

I know. It's funny

And just like that she won't be asked back.

I heard that too, poor Teresa is on the chopping block.
PjC June 8, 2023 - 4:29 pm
Messy has never had great NeNe or LuAnne one-liners, but go ahead try and make "Fetch" happen. LOL. Keep trying.
Nbarny June 8, 2023 - 11:55 pm
Fetch is what Louie tells Teresa when he wants to wear Nono’s pjs.
PjC June 9, 2023 - 6:47 am
LOL. U are most definitely right there. Bedtimes and time outs for all of them :)
MelissasOGNose June 8, 2023 - 4:14 pm
These are the cheapest looking sweatshirts and bracelets I have ever seen. But we shouldn't expect quality when it comes to the Gorgas. Everything they do is cheap. Recall - fake marble bathroom sink that fell apart during a showing.
September24 June 8, 2023 - 5:36 pm
that was priceless. I wonder what hasn't been shown...LOL!
Que Sera June 8, 2023 - 3:55 pm
It is shady but also clever. At least she doesn't publish a cookbook with other family members' family recipes and insult and mock the family members in the cookbook(s). I can't imagine she'll make much money but it might just be cathartic for her.
Nbarny June 9, 2023 - 12:07 am
And when the recipes were recreated on Radio Andy, they said they were awful. But then again, according to Teresa you can’t make red sauce when your having your period so maybe she skipped those chapters?
Que Sera June 9, 2023 - 12:06 pm
Seriously? I find it hard to believe it made a best sellers list.
Marce June 8, 2023 - 3:00 pm
Messy's storyline is ALWAYS Teresa.
Nbarny June 8, 2023 - 8:04 pm
So it was Mellisa that threw out the sprinkle cookies, started a stripper rumor, started a cheating rumor, went to jail for lying, dumped her husband when things got tough…sure, rewrite history Teresa Jr.
HelenWheels68 June 8, 2023 - 2:31 pm
Everyone is assuming the "bracelets" are to mark Teresa's ordeal when they could just as easily be construed as a reminder of Monkey Boy's thievery at a Home Depot store that got him banned from the store for life. I'm sure his kids are so happy Mom reminded everyone.
Marc June 8, 2023 - 6:21 pm
LOL!!!
Nbarny June 8, 2023 - 7:58 pm
I think they were to mark Louie’s road rage arrest and his wife beating restraining order.
Que Sera June 10, 2023 - 8:17 am
I think they are foreshadowing Luis and/or Teresa's future.
Tina Lusk June 8, 2023 - 1:45 pm
Not that the 'Tre Stump' lovers of this site care, but handcuff jewelry is a thing, and has been since the whole Fifty Shades of Grey phase. Once again, EVERYTHING is about Teresa.
MelissasOGNose June 8, 2023 - 4:12 pm
In this case it is. Its obvious and goes without saying. Its a stretch for a Gorga fan to say its about Fifty Shades when its not even part of the conversation - or any conversation of the series.
Nbarny June 9, 2023 - 12:13 am
I think the comment is that these have been around for awhile, not that they weren’t to shad Teresa.
holy cannoli June 8, 2023 - 9:05 am
I think her comment at the reunion “ I know you hate me , but try to control yourself “. Was funny and actually I don’t mind her selling tshirts and hoodies with it on. I’d probably buy one if it didn’t have her name on it. Now the handcuffs., yeah no.. not cool!!
Kim H June 8, 2023 - 10:13 am
I think the merchandise is funny! I actually like it! Hope her sales go well!!!
holy cannoli June 8, 2023 - 10:21 am
For me, the tshirt/ hoodies are great ( except with her name in it ). I would buy the hoodie for sure. The handcuffs, not so much.
PjC June 8, 2023 - 4:26 pm
The self-delusion runs DEEP in both families. Merchandise purpose is not to make money (its a secondary), Just hurtful and makes RHONJ even more toxic. Messy thinks she pressed the SLAY button, but the show is pressed PAUSE.
Ross June 8, 2023 - 11:20 am
This was the thing, Teresa didn’t have any problems “controlling” herself at the reunion so it kind of made M look stupid. Especially since M was the one yelling at the reunion.
Ginger Snap June 8, 2023 - 1:17 pm
Tre hardly payed attention. She was laughed at by the others.
Que Sera June 8, 2023 - 4:05 pm
Did you doze off while watching or have to leave a lot...Ha.
Nbarny June 8, 2023 - 8:01 pm
Is that why Andy had to tell her to STFU? I think she had a difficult time keeping up.
Ross June 9, 2023 - 2:39 am
If he did I’m sure it was unwarranted.
Que Sera June 8, 2023 - 7:09 pm
How many of them ran off in an overly dramatic exit because they were cornered in their lies? That is Teresa's MO. She did and it was funny when she said, "Don't follow me" which must have been for the camera people because nobody else was going to. I guess she had control choosing to have a little hissy and running off like she always does when she can't debate her lies.
Zap It June 9, 2023 - 10:46 am
So agree...Melissa was annoying. She was like a mouthy teenager who thinks she's cool but is just a mouthy teenage who won't shut up
CsqD June 9, 2023 - 1:24 pm
YES! Melissa's acting like a disrespectful, mouthy, 13 y.o. brat. If that's her "real" her personality, she's annoying and still uninteresting! Yet, she thinks she looks like a fictional, female version of Rocky but she really takes after Mr.T with her gaudy sense of style!
Ginger Snap June 8, 2023 - 1:15 pm
Those bracelets were popular years ago after that 50 Shades of Gray movie came out.
holy cannoli June 8, 2023 - 4:18 pm
Ok, but ya know the timing,.. the shade is real, and this I don’t think is cool, she knows what she’s doing . I see you Melissa.
Que Sera June 8, 2023 - 4:23 pm
Of course. Teresa threw her only sibling in the trash along with Melissa. It is appropriate. Teresa does much worse so she shouldn't care a bit so why would people that don't know them. I predict that Luis will have stuff like that made and try to sell on the VIP site that people are already paying $4.99 a month to look at. That might be "shady" but so what. The sad thing to me is that people buy it....
holy cannoli June 8, 2023 - 8:39 pm
My Opinion., The bracelets aren’t cool . She knows what’s she doing. I appreciate good shade, ( the T-shirt: hoodie) but this , yeah no.
PjC June 8, 2023 - 4:23 pm
Messy is not Ariana, so unoriginal an idea. But Messy is a PIGgybacker, so kudos if she can pay for new construction. LOL.
Nbarny June 8, 2023 - 8:00 pm
No more original than Louie riding Teresa’s coat tails or $10,000 rats nest.

Two completely different thots. But keep digging. ?
Sara McCarthy June 8, 2023 - 1:02 pm
So f'n petty. I don't have a good relationship with one of my siblings yet I would NEVER allow my significant other to do this. Low rent all the way.

Fighting fire with fire. About time.
Sara McCarthy June 8, 2023 - 1:32 pm
Nah. Just makes her a gutter rat.
Que Sera June 8, 2023 - 4:14 pm
It is a low rent show. Teresa has been trash for a long time on the low rent show. Melissa is having fun. Years ago Teresa published a cookbook with not only some of her cousins' side of the family recipes but she also made fun of them and mocked them in the cookbook she made some money on. She also did that with friends. That is low rent trash behavior. (I assume the sibling didn't try to destroy your marriage several times on national TV with the motive to get you to quit your job).
Evil Queen June 8, 2023 - 12:01 pm
I’m over people referring to themselves as a “Boss Bitch!”
Sara McCarthy June 8, 2023 - 1:04 pm
Me too. Except for Drita D'Avanzo. She's the original Boss Bitch. And she really is! lol
Sara McCarthy June 8, 2023 - 1:14 pm
I stand corrected.... Drita is "Lady Boss", not Boss Bitch.
Jenny June 8, 2023 - 11:45 am
Oh please, Melissa only said "control yourself" after HOURS of thinking it up--she needed something to sell to pay for remodeling her brand new mess of a house. She's been the abuser all these years. I absolutely believe she wanted to take Tre down before she got on the show.
Nbarny June 9, 2023 - 12:09 am
And Yet it’s Teresa that is making payments to the Government for unpaid taxes…I she’s so rich why make payments?
Que Sera June 10, 2023 - 8:30 am
She isn't making enough payments, if any, since she was hit with a lien for not paying 2021 and 2020 taxes. She and big shot Luis have had over a year to pay 2021 taxes yet they've been on how many out of country vacations... She could have gotten a $500 mouse nest wedding hairdo and paid the 2021 taxes and a big chunk of 2020. Then she could make payments on the balance of approximately $1,790,000.

Teresa called it when she said disgusting.

Tre is disgusting. So she’s familiar with the premise.

I just got offline with Melissa's site....the jackets AND the handcuff bracelets are SOLD OUT! I think this is great! Melissa has taken a lot of abuse from Tre and this site for a long time now...GOOD FOR HER!!! Get more and sell those out!!
Ginger Snap June 8, 2023 - 1:14 pm
Andy asked Tamra Judge last night who she thought was the most overrated housewife - Tre. Tre has been given a pass for years and thought she was untouchable - not anymore.
Kim H June 8, 2023 - 3:00 pm
I agree Tre is VERY overrated, wish she would go permanently. On that note...I wish Tamara would stay away as well, she's also overrated, I hate that she's back!
Que Sera June 8, 2023 - 3:58 pm
She is known for being stupid and violent. So that overrates her automatically, IMO.
MelissasOGNose June 8, 2023 - 7:34 pm
The fact that they are ALL talking about Tre only proves Tre is the reigning queen of the Housewives!! They are all just trying to snatch her crown. With Tamrat - it will never happen. There is nothing appealing about Trailer Trash Tamrat. Bravo only brought her back to be the Gery Springer antagonist of the show.
Nbarny June 8, 2023 - 7:49 pm
Hmmm, they’re still talking about Trump, doesn’t make him a queen anymore than it does her.

Nail on the head. Season was so rehearsed and badly acted.
HelenWheels68 June 8, 2023 - 2:35 pm
As P.T. Barnum so wisely observed, "There's a sucker born every minute," as this over-priced, cheap-ass merch buy so succinctly proves. And, as I've said before, there's a seat for every ass.

Oh I could say that ten times a day when I see the crap people buy. People have too much money if they can waste it so easily, IMO. Then again, maybe they are people like Teresa who just don't pay their federal income taxes and rack up a bill over a million dollars in 7 years and get away with it. Or they are addicted to buying stuff.
