RHONJ’s Melissa Gorga fired back at Chanel Ayan after she dissed her in a promo video for season 2 of RHODubai! Get all the tea!
In a promo teaser for season 2 of RHODubai, which will premiere on Sunday, June 2 at 9/8c on Bravo, Chanel Ayan and her co-stars described the newest member of their cast, Taleen Marie.
“She reminds me of Melissa Gorga. So she is to be watched,” Chanel said of Taleen in the Instagram promo clip from Bravo TV.
As the clip made its way around social media, natually, Melissa Gorga caught wind of it and decided to publicly call out the RHODubai star for always talking about her. *insert eyeroll*
“Wait what? Why does this woman always have my name in her mouth?” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star said in a comment, screenshotted and shared by Everything Housewives on Instagram.
In second comment the 45-year-old said: “MeLISSA GORRRRGGAAAAAA let’s get it right girlfriend.”
Of course, Bravo fans had quite a bit to say about Chanel’s shade and Melissa’s clap back.
“Wooooo Chanel is a shady palm tree out in that desert of gold,” one fan commented.
“Melissa has never been more happy to get a little attention. For years she’s just been an extra in a cast of stars. She’s nothing but filler material,” a second fan wrote.
A third fan commented, “Melissa, you’d walk away crying after Chanel was done with you.”
“Chanel is friends with Teresa and obv that was a dig at Melissa,” someone else noted.
“Melissa really be acting she’s that “girl” and she’s NOT,” a fifth fan wrote while another added: “Chanel is gonna destroy her.”
Another fan commented: “Melissa is reaching and looking to get dragged in order to stay relevant.”
As Bravo fans may know, Chanel is friends with Melissa’s estranged sister-in-law Teresa Giudice. The RHODubai star attended Teresa’s August 2022 wedding to Louie Ruelas.
Melissa and Teresa are currently not on speaking terms and did not interact AT ALL while filming the upcoming season of RHONJ. Their fued has led to a major fracture in the RHONJ cast which Andy Cohen has said is unsustainable moving forward, which means a major casting shakeup is likely coming for season 15 of the franchise.
Season 14 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres Sunday, May 5 at 8 p.m. ET.
The Real Housewives of Dubai premieres on Sunday, June 2 at 9/8c on Bravo. Then on Tuesday, June 11, RHODubai will move to its regular timeslot on Tuesdays at 9/8c.
