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.
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.
