After eleven seasons on The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ), Melissa Gorga might be hinting at leaving. With uncertainty about the cast and show’s future, she shared a heartfelt post on social media, leaving fans wondering what she’ll do next.
Joining the show in Season 3, Melissa quickly became a star. This was due, in part, to her rocky relationship with her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice.
The Gorgas and Giudices have caused much of the show’s drama. But, things worsened when Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, skipped Teresa’s wedding to Luis Ruelas. As a result, RHONJ Season 14 was deeply divided, sparking rumors of cast changes.
Amid these speculations, Melissa Gorga has been hosting meet-and-greets. Some fans now wonder if she’s been fired. In August, Melissa thanked her followers on Instagram.
She appreciated the years on the show and shared her reasons for joining the series. In her message, she reflected on the journey, leaving fans wondering if she’s ready to move on.
Jacqueline Laurita Calls Out Melissa Gorga for Her Treatment of Kathy Wakile
While Melissa Gorga reflects on her time on RHONJ, Jacqueline Laurita, a former cast member, speaks up. Laurita, who exited in Season 7, recently appeared on the AllAboutTRH podcast. There, she addressed Melissa’s recent comments about Kathy Wakile.
Melissa hinted she might reconcile with the Wakiles. But, Laurita claims the Gorgas tried to outbid the Wakiles on a house to prevent them from moving into the same neighborhood. Laurita pointed out that this behavior, along with Melissa’s past actions, is likely why the Wakiles have refused to mend fences.
Laurita also accused Melissa of gaslighting Kathy Wakile during their time on the show. Laurita says Melissa would urge Kathy to raise some topics on camera.
Then, she’d shut her down to shift the narrative and look better. “She would get Kathy worked up behind the scenes and then gaslight her on camera,” Laurita revealed.
