Chanel Ayan called Melissa Gorga out for allegedly having more Instagram followers than Real Housewives who get gigs outside of Bravo. X.com’s @HWjunkie1 posted “Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Kenya Moore, Erika Jayne, and Teresa Giudice are all housewives with less Instagram followers than Melissa Gorga. Let that sink in. 👀.”
Chanel entered the chat:
The Real Housewives of Dubai diva couldn’t believe her eyes. Melissa “can’t have more followers than Teresa or the Kenya Moore?!” laughed the RHoDubai personality. “Did she buy them? 😂😂😂😂 Sorry, not sorry,” expressed the Bravolebrity who had VVVVVIP seats the the Beyoncé concert. “Don’t care.🤷♀️”
I couldn’t help but wonder, how do the above-mentioned Insta stats compare to the Real Housewives of New Jersey star. For context, as of July 5th, 2024, Melissa had 2.8M followers.

RHOC:
Real Housewives of Orange County‘s ‘Fancy Pants‘ had 1.7M while Tamra has Tamra 1.8M. Keep in mind, Heather is an actress (you should see her IMDB page)! Also, she’s married to Botched‘s Terry Dubrow. Tamra recently competed on season 2 of The Traitors US and hosts the popular podcast, Two T’s In a Pod.
Real Housewives of Dancing With the Stars:
Erika ‘Jayne’ Girardi had 2.6M followers. In addition to Beverly Hills housewives, she’s competed on Dancing With the Stars and has a Vegas residency show. Oh, then there’s the high profile lawsuit against her estranged husband that’s made national news for years. Another DWTS contestant who appeared with Melissa on the first season of Ultimate Girls Trip, Kenya Moore, has 2.3M followers … and that’s AFTER her “revenge porn” scandal that got her fired.
The Ariana effect:
Speaking of Bravolebrities who recently dominated the news cycle, let’s check Ariana Madix‘s IG numbers. Considering the Vanderpump Rules star became a household name after Scandoval, she placed third on DWTS, played Roxie Hart in Broadway’s Chicago, and is currently hosting Love Island USA, Ariana had 2.3M followers when this article was published. In other words, Melissa has a half a million more followers than booked and busy blonde beauty.
Melissa’s nemesis/sister-in-law:
Teresa has 2.3M followers. That’s sus as Instagram’s @TVdeets collected the data between Joe Gorga’s wife and his sister’s Watch What Happens Live appearances. Melissa appeared alongside Meghan McCain and received had 288K viewers in the age 18-49 demographic. Alongside Joel Kim Booster in The Clubhouse, Tre racked up 453K viewers – over 150k more than Melissa.
The RHONJ star made international news years ago when she went to ‘camp’ aka federal prison for fraud. Tre is also a six time author who competed on season 5 of The Celebrity Apprentice.
Bravo TV fans react:
- She buys followers like her husband buys shoddy building materials
- I love Chanel so much. She always says the quiet part out loud
- What a Teresa a** kisser 😂😂 I just feel embarrassed for Chanel
- I am shocked by how much Ayan is growing on me this season!!
- Chanel Ayan knows exactly what she’s doing and I’m here for it. Call that girl out honey.
