In one of her posts, she claimed to have *"built an empire with the bricks they've thrown at me."* ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/7D1CBDD5-C228-4F08-887C-6FCB18C4A0F9.jpg) Naturally, this claim didn't go over well with many fans, especially those who are longtime supporters of Melissa's sister-in-law Teresa Giudice. *"Built an empire off Teresa’s back!!!"* one fan quipped. *"Teresa been your story since you came on the show; stop it already, Melissa,"* a second fan commented. A third fan wrote, *"I’m really curious what Empire she is speaking of?!? Girlfriend is obsessed with herself! I don’t think I’ve ever [seen] a housewife give so little. Enjoy your last season, Melissa."* *"Where's this empire we're talking about???? Thank Home Depot for that,"* a fourth fan commented. *"An empire? Where? What products does she have?"* another fan said, while a different fan added: "People with empires pay their bills." *The Real Housewives of New Jersey* returns for season 13 on February 7. ## Thoughts on Melissa Gorga and others?
