Joe Gorga believes that newer housewives should appreciate the path that Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga created for them.
This comes after Melissa Gorga was called out multiple times for buying her Instagram followers, something she has been accused of doing since she first joined the show.
Last week, Real Housewives of Miami star Kiki Barth was asked outside of her cast who pays for social media followers. Kiki said, “You know, that lady. I’ve seen it myself. Not Teresa, the other one.” Andy replied, “Melissa?” Kiki continued, “Yes, Melissa. I’ve seen it myself.”
Alexia Nepola and Real Housewives of Dubai star Chanel Ayan also have called out for Melissa Gorga for buying Instagram followers and Joe Gorga isn’t happy about it.
Melissa defended the fact that she has nearly 3 million followers on Instagram on her podcast saying,
“First of all, envy has 200 and over 250,000 followers. Envy by itself. Okay? I don’t know. Maybe listen to this podcast, Joe. Maybe they’re big fans of On Display, so they follow me. I mean, what the heck do they talking about? I have multiple brand partnerships. Right? I don’t know. Maybe my followers just like, they like my singing. They follow me because I sing on display. Yeah. Well I mean, you definitely know they love sprinkle cookies. Right? So they’re definitely following me because of that. They’re following me because they love sprinkle cookies.”
That’s when Joe Gorga told his wife that housewives need to appreciate the path she created for them saying,
“No. They should really these housewives should really appreciate the path that you created for them. I mean, you look at what look what you have done on Instagram and social media. It it’s it’s helping them. It’s helping everybody. I mean, really, you’re you’re you’re self made. You did this all on your own. You achieved everything on your own, and you killed it. So, you know, just like the show, you know, you are who you are on social media, and that’s why people love you.”
