Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Melissa Gorga was called out for seemingly calling the paparazzi on herself on Christmas Eve.
In case you missed it, Page Six photographers just happened to be stationed outside of the Gorga’s New Jersey home. Melissa just happened to take out the trash while in full glam, a puffy Christian Dior jacket, and a Santa hat.
Rather than being startled that there was a stranger with a camera outside her home on Christmas Eve, Melissa flashed a smile and a peace sign.
Additionally, many commenters commented on the RHONJ personality’s evolving appearance. “No for real – who is THIS??? Melissa? Kim K? Megan Fox??”
Bravo TV fans reacted to the seemingly staged snaps:
- Posing! This is all what she knows to do! For 12 seasons 🙄😒
- Only Melissa would call the paparazzi to take this picture
- Melissa really wants us to believe the paps just happened to be waiting for her to come out of the house in a Santa hat 🙄
- This would of been hilarious if she pulled a box of sprinkle cookies out the trash can lmao
Melissa’s been accused of buying Instagram followers:
During an episode of the WWHL podcast in July, Andy Cohen learned about Chanel Ayan‘s theory that Melissa buys bots on Instagram. Melissa explained, Chanel is “good friends with [Teresa Giudice]. So, out of of nowhere, she tweeted, ‘How does Melissa Gorga have more followers than all of the Housewives? She must buy fake followers.”
“More followers than which housewives,” asked Bravo’s daddy. Melissa answered, “I guess than everyone on my cast. Then, she said Kenya Moore. Which I do. I’m very good at marketing; I’m good on social; I’m good on Instagram.” Andy came to her defense. “You’ve been on Jersey for like 12 years.” She interrupted him to say, “14 years. 2010. It’s 2024.”
Andy continued, “Also, the ratings for Jersey have been huge. Jersey and Atlanta were both huge together at the same time.” Melissa reminded the audience that she’s been a housewife five years longer than Kenya.”
