Jennifer Aydin fires back after Melissa Gorga claims she is the RHONJ star “most likely to call the paparazzi on herself.”
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga is known for loving life in the public eye and putting herself “On Display” so it was quite odd when she recently claimed that co-star Jennifer Aydin was the New Jersey Housewife “most likely to call the paparazzi on herself.”
At a Real Housewives panel in Washington DC, Melissa Gorga claimed that Jennifer Aydin is the most likely to call paparazzi on herself.
Naturally, Jennifer Aydin caught wind of Melissa’s claim and fired back on social media.
“I wouldn’t even know who to call. Maybe I should ask her for their number for the next time I get my mail….or get gas. #rhonj,” Jennifer tweeted on October 13.
Longtime Bravo fans know Melissa’s comment is quite funny and hypocritical considering she is the Real Housewives of New Jersey star who is most frequently photographed in clearly staged paparazzi shots that end up splashed all over Page Six and other outlets.
In fact, Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, are frequently photographed outside their New Jersey shore home or while doing monotonous activities such as pumping gas.
If you remember back in the Summer of 2023, Melissa was photographed pumping gas while wearing a sexy rainbow monokini in the Hamptons. Her and Joe are also almost always caught by the paparazzi frolicking on the beach in the summer or while on vacation in some tropical local.
In recent years, Melissa has claimed that she “hates” doing press yet seems to do more press and attend more events than almost any other member of the RHONJ cast.
In May 2023, 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.
Despite Melissa’s declaration she continues to enjoy doing loads to press for her favorite and most supportive outlets.
Real Housewives of New Jersey isn’t expected to return for season 15 until late 2025 or early 2026.

JMO but I think Melissa's spinning right now. Trying to create drama for attention. Meliar doesn't care if she's projecting and being hypocritical. Just as long as she gets attention! Poor Jen! Meliar only picks on her because of her friendship with Tre!
I didn’t think of that but she is calculating enough to do something that desperate. I just wish Jen wouldn’t react but lies need to be called out as well so I understand that she wants to defend herself.
Jennifer lied! Shocker! Not.
Anyone with a brain knew she was lying.Can't believe some of y'all fell for it.
This site not reporting on Theresa and Jennifer's return should have been a dead giveaway that Jennifer was lying, because you know this site would have been all over it.

I hope Bravo is taking note that the majority of comments on every blog, with the exception of this one of course, and other social media sites, people are not in favor of Jennifer or Teresa returning to the show.
This lie from Jennifer may just backfire on her sorry behind.
Bravo is not going to be happy with her putting these lies out. If she was smart she would keep her mouth shut and not try to clap back on social media but she's not smart so hopefully she will just lie herself out of a job
Andy just confirmed she was lying. I posted the link above.
Awesome
O em gee, I can't believe that people here actually believe Jennifer . She's lying. A few weeks ago Andy said that nothing was going to be decided until 2025.
I have never seen a paparazzi photo of Jen A. Maybe I’m missing something here. However I have seen plenty of pap photos of the Gorga’s, as if they’re that relevant. I have seen a lot of Jen A. on social media, just videos of her, family & friends being themselves. Nothing wrong with that
Yep, just like Kyle Jennifer has the paps on speed dial.

As most everyone knows by now, Teresa, Jen A, and Dullores have supposedly been told that they will be returning, but that doesn't mean Melissa (or anyone else) hasn't been tipped off as well.
"Melissa was photographed pumping gas while wearing a sexy rainbow monokini in the Hamptons".
Speaking of, I hate to be nitpickety, but the swimsuit is a monokini, the
cover upcover nothing made of rainbow netting, is a separate deal. Anyway, girlfriend is rocking it, and I have no doubts that she will be back as well.I’ve read the rumors too, meh ? I don’t know what’s what. But until bravo announces something. I don’t believe anything from whoever yet.
As far as Melissa’s outfit.?????, ridiculous.
I normally like just about everything she wears, she has a great body and wears clothes well. But this shit ?! Please. ???????
Jen put this out last week and nobody believes a word she says
Yeah, I read the rumors. I don’t believe any of them about this shit.
I’ll believe bravo when they make a statement.
It’s the Hamptons, and she’s obviously on her way to some kind of pool and/or beach party (and undoubtedly wants to kill Joe or one of the kids for leaving her with an empty gas tank).
Maybe a pool party in her backyard or at her shore house that ugly ass shit would fly. But the Hamptons?! Come on. Zero class!
It was a photo op. Stevie Wonder can see it .
“Monokini” sounds like a new version of the kissing disease.
From kissing her caveman
Bingo. Good one.?
Yep, and Tre and Dolores have been asked back too…let's see but makes sense if true??
Tre recently had her
personal "psychic" fraudster friend on her podcast who told her that only she, Dullores, Jen A., and Rachel Fuda Who will be asked back, but Jen A. declines.Well I hope the psychic is right except for Fuda?
She already got it wrong by saying that Jen A. will be offered a contract, but declines. Yes, when hell freezes over ?
Oh please Melissa ?… come on now. This isn’t even good bullshit !!??????
Melissa who?
Unreal . That’s one thing she’s the OG on and it’s this .. getting her mail? Getting gas lmao? A damn song about herself and paps when no one and I mean no one – knew who the fuq she was .
Nailed it!
? Messy still got time to worry about all the press her former cast mates are getting? ?She just opened TWO businesses this year but her businesses must not be doing well if she still has time to worry about the paparazzi. So much for being booked and busy.
Just keep doing you and living the dream Jen Aydin! I hope I see you back on TV next year! ??
In the words of Judge Judy I wouldn't beleive Jennifer if her tongue was notarized.
You we're right not to believe her because Andy just confirmed she was lying.
Sure Jennifer you don't know the pap # you just know all the blogger numbers including Shantel & Roxanne Lol
Yup, not to mention leaking screeners and emails to the bloggers you mentioned.
They do , from all franchises , run to blogs . This isn’t “ new”. A lunatic fangirl didn’t get her way after being backstabbing then boom! The hypocrites only whined about it when it wasn’t suiting them .
