Melissa Gorga from The Real Housewives of New Jersey was criticized by fans for not having a season 12 storyline, but her husband Joe Gorga slammed back by saying he’s glad she doesn’t have one. Melissa entered RHONJ season 3 with an already tense relationship with her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice. Teresa and Joe had long-standing issues that were never resolved, and things blew up between them at Melissa and Joe’s son’s christening. When Teresa came to greet Melissa and Joe, words were said and the party became an all-out brawl.
