They know me because they don't reach [out]. Bravo does not ask me to do press unless it's like something legit. I'm like, don't call me with all these little mags and this and that. I don't wanna talk to anyone because they twist what I say. The headline is always something that I have zero desire to even discuss,"*** Melissa told the *[Shahs of Sunset](https://allabouttrh.com/category/shahs-of-sunset/)* alum. ***"It's always the dumbest headline I've ever seen. And I'm always like, I wasted my time for 20 minutes talking to that reporter for me to hate the article. It's like, why am I doing my makeup for you?"*** the RHONJ star quipped. https://twitter.com/HW_Historian/status/1694877894017720675 Naturally, RHONJ fans had quite a bit to say about Melissa's claims. ***"I always said the most dangerous thing about Melissa ( & Joe) is they believe their own lies. FCs, she calls the press on herself,"*** one fan commented. ***"This is what you say when the little mags aren’t asking for any interviews from you," ***a second fan quipped. ***"Who’s she kidding? She would run if the National Inquirer called,"*** a third fan commented, while a fourth added: ***"Someone’s ego is way too inflated. She believes she is way more important than she is."*** ***"Doesn't she have her own paparazzi she calls? Remember the wedding photographer now paparazzi [that takes] her photos @ her house, the fuel station, & their home, etc. She misses those gigs/interviews with Teresa. She needs that [money],"*** a fifth fan wrote. ![Melissa Gorga in gold dress and makeup on RHONJ](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/RHONJ-Melissa-Gorga-bravo-ftr.jpg)RHONJ's Melissa Gorga ***"Melissa is the one that calls the press.
