RHONJ: Melissa Gorga Says Teresa Giudice Isn’t Why She Was Cast
Melissa Gorga says Teresa Giudice is not the reason she was cast on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Melissa and Joe Gorga have been speaking out amid her fallout with Teresa. The sisters-in-law ended season 12 in a rough patch after making a bold revelation at the reunion. Tired of faking it for the cameras, Melissa got Teresa to own up to the fact that they don't hang out outside of filming.
The tension ignited after Teresa snubbed Melissa as a bridesmaid in her wedding but included Luis Ruelas' two sisters. Joe took to Melissa's podcast to call out his sister for not inviting his wife to her wedding but inviting new in-laws. He went on to make claims of holding down the show and Teresa's household while she served an 11-month prison sentence. Joe even quipped that his nieces would be "homeless" had he not helped the family during the trying time. Melissa also encouraged Teresa to quit the show if she was so miserable during filming.

Melissa said on the Mention It All podcast. She blasted the "silly" claims without mentioning the likelihood that Bravo was more interested in casting the brother and sister-in-law of the show's main star.
