RHONJ’s Melissa Gorga Claims She Doesn’t Like to Do Press

RHONJ star Melissa Gorga admits she has reached out to check on niece Milania Giudice following her recent car accident.

RHONJ star Melissa Gorga claims that she hates doing press with “little mags” and controls all of the interviews Bravo makes her do for the show!

It’s no secret that Melissa Gorga loves the spotlight and being On Display, so Bravo fans were left scratching their head when learning that the Real Housewives of New Jersey star claims she doesn’t like doing press.

In May, Melissa appeared on Mercedes Javid‘s Till the Dirt podcast, where she claimed to hate doing press so much that she put her foot down with Bravo about what press she would and won’t do.

“You know, I started to get like that with the press, even with Bravo. 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 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.

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 is the one that calls the press. This is why she’s called Meliar,” another fan commented.

Others called Melissa a “liar” and said that she needed to “get over herself.”

It's probably true. Who cares to do little magazine interviews? She's not even on the cover. If it was a big magazine and she was on the cover I'm sure she would do it. Also, she enjoys (it seems) to do talk shows when she promotes the show. However, doing press for small magazines that twist your words isn't fun I'm sure. Teresa fans please shut up. Is Teresa allowed to even do interviews anymore without her master Luis? Does she have to ask permission?

I actually believe her on this. She never looks comfortable in her television interviews.

She looked like she had fun doing Sherri and the Wendy Williams Show in the past. However, I'm sure it is tiring and she probably doesn't love to do it a lot and magazines are even more annoying and less fun.

Had fun and has made it her job!!! She barely gets press for herself unless she’s flaunting Envy clothes she rips off from others . Her press tours over the YEARS, were in re to Teresa of course . Meliar

Haha ?

Now, this is funny!! Messy isn't being asked to do any interviews- asked being the correct word. She can't talk about Teresa anymore so no one wants to interview her. This chick is beyond delusional. Messy and her BBoy child/man will do whatever Bravo tells them to do. Period.

Hmm. Interesting perspective.

Melissa can talk about Tre but doesn’t want to. Same goes for Tre. I don’t blame her for not doing useless interviews that are just gotcha.

Ok, Melissa, last season you and Joe leading up to the beginning of the season put together a sophisticated media relations campaign to ensure your messages got across before the shows began airing and did more interviews day in and day out than I have ever witnessed of a HW. Now I know and understand why you did it and worked with a professional PR team. It was very, very contentious season with Teresa, and you and Joe wanted to deliver your viewpoint and messaging before viewers watched the episodes. See if you can present an episode from your advantage point, viewers can watch it from a completely different perspective at times, This is their right, and their JOB at this point. But don’t pretend you did not do that and did not want to do that. The only HW I saw do as many interviews preseason with Page Six, People Mag, Us Mag, So many Podcasts.. etc was Leah, NY. Not sure this year where Melissa is going now with this “I don’t like media,” while contacting the media to do media interview, so disingenuous ….uhmmm trying to make herself look less manipulative after going so hard last season ??, The best thing the Gorga’s can do is continue their media push, just don’t say Teresa’s name at all this year, but promote the heck out of themselves and their own family. Go to town!

Tre was the one going hard and manipulating last season; made an a@@ out of herself and has painted herself in a corner with the show.
