The drama between Real Housewives of New Jersey sisters-in-law Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga rages on with a former NJ Housewife now in the mix.
The latest drama began on twitter Sunday night when former RHONJ star Danielle Staub stated Melissa was the one who fed her all the information about Teresa. If you recall, Danielle brought up Melissa’s son during the RHONJ reunion last year, accusing Teresa of not seeing her nephew. This of course set Teresa off bringing us the infamous shoving of Andy Cohen.
While Melissa has always maintained she was not the one who fed Danielle that information, Danielle is now stating otherwise even claiming she has proof in the form of voice mails and emails. Wowzers.
It all started when one of Danielle’s fans tweeted to her as well as Andy wanting to know why he felt the need to mention Danielle’s name on WWHL on Sunday night while Teresa was on. Danielle then tweeted back, “@bravoandy @bravotv is this true? Maybe I should show everyone what @melissagorga wrote my fb inbox about Teresa?” It didn’t end there as Danielle continued tweeting. Below are some of her tweets about Melissa -
- “Wow careful now bc ive got emails from her own sisterinlaw w so much Teresa dirt.”
- “@melissagorga Melissa Did you ever tell Teresa you were contacting me constantly?”
- “@melissagorga did you tell tre you wanted to come on w me last season To get back at her”
- “@melissagorga and everytime you & Tre’s brother begged me to come on w me – I said no!”
When a fan tweeted that Melissa was the one who fed Danielle the reunion info, Danielle responded with “she did indeed tell me how else would I know.”
Following Danielle’s tweets, Melissa tweeted the following denial – “Let’s be clear. After I posted abt the xmas cookies incident on FB she approached me to film w/ her. Did I film? No! Begged her? Please.”
Danielle then responded stating she has saved emails and voicemails from Melissa. “Be careful dear I saved all your lengthy emails and recorded your calls to me you sure you wanna lie ???” tweeted Dirty D. Danielle also claimed that on 11/09, Melissa sent this message – “”will you (DS) help me expose Teresa and Joe please?”
Teresa caught wind of Danielle’s tweets and even went as far as to tweet “thank you” to Danielle, the same woman who called her an ape last year and said she wanted to dress up as her for Halloween.
Teresa tweeted, “But someone else was tweeting tonight too. Thank you @daniellestaub for telling the truth. I’m sad but not surprised.
#famewhore.” She is referring to Melissa as a famewhore and wrote that tweet just minutes after writing, “I’ve been on Twitter for 2 yrs now and I’ve NEVER ever ever retweeted a mean comment ab a castmember or family member…” Go figure. Teresa also described Danielle’s tweets as “heartbreaking.”
Fast forward to today and it seems Teresa might have had a change of heart. She tweeted Monday night, “I don’t believe Melissa would ever talk to @daniellestaub . Danielle, stop tweeting about my family. If you got something, show it or STFU!” But then again, in knowing Tre, this could just be her passive aggressive way of encouraging Danielle to leak whatever information she has.
As of the moment, it appears Danielle is working to release the voicemails and emails she claims to have of Melissa. Guess we will have to wait and see. If Danielle’s claims are true, then this family feud has definitely taken a turn for the nasty-ier. This could also be Danielle’s way of getting back on the show as her new show Famous Food is flopping on VH1. And as we reported, the 4th season of RHONJ is currently filming.

TELL US – THOUGHTS ON DANIELLE’S TWEETS? DO YOU BELIEVE IT? IF TRUE, DOES THIS CHANGE YOUR OPINION OF MELISSA?









Hahhhaaahhhaaa Banana-Totally agree! You know what’s funny, if Melissa were some wall flower push over who let Teresa walk all over her, people would love her. Especially Teresa! Too bad she sticks up for herself. LOL
GM Franks!
wow that says a lot if Teresa’s other SIL is friendly with Melissa!
@649 Banana
If what Danielle says is true, and it’s backed up with proof as she is saying it is and Bravo has not deined as of yet…Well in my opinion she is more ‘effed up” than the family that she married into..
Hi ABL! Yes girl! Here are some of her tweets:

Thanks frankswif3y @651.
Lena @653, here’s the deal, this is NOT new information, Danielle gave an interview last year saying that she exchanged emails w/ JOEY GORGA, so if anyone sold out Teresa it was HER OWN BROTHER, so I will say it again, the Gorga family is very messed up! But of course they will find a way to excuseLi’l Joey and blame Melissa.
@655 Banana
Here is the deal,no need to be rude, ok? You have your opinion and I have mine, as I wrote in my post..” in my opinion”
Lena @656, I apologize, I did not mean for my comment to sound rude.
@657 Banana
No worries.. Have a good day!
Good morning Lena.
Banana-How funny is this. Everyone is on twitter tweeting about Melissa’s song debuting at 11:15 on Kiss FM. Everyone, Manzos, Wakiles, Gorgas, EVERYONE. So Teresa barely tweeted at all yesterday but it seems like she needs attention this morning:
Amazing dinner at Fig & Olive with @MarcBouwer last night. Then greatest time at Le Bain. LOVE u Marc! http://t.co/BDW8cxX xx

Good Morning Everyone, Happy Friday
I wonder if when some of these NJ ladies do not tweet alot, it’s because they are fliming. I kinda noticed some days they tweet like crazy and other days , not so much..Jacqueline hasn’t tweeted in a while, I wonder if she is on vacation, or has just taken a break from it for a while.
Anyway I wonder if Melissa is having some kind of part or something for her song coming out and if it will be filmed.
*party
Here’s a link to her song. It’s catchy.

@661
I just heard it.. I’m sorry that song is terrible! Not as bad as the other housewives songs, but not too much better, in my opinion.. Melissa’s voice is not bad,( better than the other housewives for sure) but it isn’t anything special either, just average in my opinion.. The way these goofs havebeen going on about her, I was expecting Mariah Carey..lol
Lena-I wasn’t expecting Mariah Carey. She said herself she’s no Mariah Carey. I liked the song. It was fun and catchy like Tardy for the Party.
@ frankswif3y
I meant the way her family and fans have been going on about the song( the ones that have heard it already) like the Manzos and that Greg Bennet. Lol
Ithink Tardy forthe Party is alot catchier, lol Just my opinion .:)
Hi Franks…and Lena,
I haven’t listened to the song yet…However, saw the lyrics…How unbelievable shallow is Melissa…”Paparazzi watching me do my thing”….Not even REAL Star act this way…IMO
Melissa Gorga – “On Display”
Verse 1:
I can feel the weight of the world pushing down on me
I can feel every one’s eyes watching me
I can feel the heat of the spotlight shine on me
And I can feel the pressure on my body
Got me feeling all these feelings and it’s driving me insane
Paparazzi watching me do my thing
Chorus:
Cause I’m on display, on display, on display
Each and every day, every day, every day
Everybody’s waiting on me to fall
Everybody’s waiting on me to crawl but they can keep on
(Waiting on me, Waiting on me, Waiting on me to fall) 4X
Verse 2:
I know you’re gonna try to bring me, bring me down
But I’m a fighter, I’m a tiger I can figure it out
Slander my name in all the papers that’s what you wanna do
But you keep watching I’ll keep glowing that’s what I’ll do for you
Got me feeling all these feelings and it’s driving me insane
Paparazzi watching me do my thing
Chorus:
Cause I’m on display, on display, on display
Each and every day, every day, every day
Everybody’s waiting on me to fall
Everybody’s waiting on me to crawl but they can keep on
(Waiting on me, Waiting on me, Waiting on me to fall) 4X
Bridge:
Everybody wanna see me fall
Everybody wanna bring me down
Everybody wanna steal my crown
But it’s not going down
Some people don’t like my style
But I don’t give a what
Everybody got something to say
Go ‘head and post it up
On the blog sites, put it up, on the headlines
It don’t matter what you say I’m still gonna shine.
Chorus:
Cause I’m on display, on display, on display
Each and every day, every day, every day
Everybody’s waiting on me to fall
Everybody’s waiting on me to crawl but they can keep on
(Waiting on me, Waiting on me, Waiting on me to fall) 4X

Lena…Jacqueline tweeted earlier about taking a break from social media…She previewed the upcoming episode…said to have tissues ready.
Looks sad from the previews.
@ 666lolag( ugh that number)
lol..those words crack me up, she really thinksshe is something!..I think the song stinks..lol
@668 lolag oh ok, i can’t say i blame her.
this weeks episode does look like it will be sad.. i feel bad
Teresa is stupid. Her brother AND Melissa told all that stuff to Danielle Staub. Dummy Teresa can never think her brother does anything to hurt her.
Something is way off with Tre for sure. Wonder how long before we find out. Whoever helped melissa with her album cover is NOT a true friend. She looks like a boy in that hideous tank.
Here are my two cents:
1) Danielle (and the rest of America).. have caught on that Teresa (and her online minions) hate Melissa. So, in order for Danielle to stay shall we say…. relevant…. has decided to start crap with Mrs. Gorga.
2) I believe that the town (where these women live) is a gossipers haven and I am sure someone else said those things to Teresa.
3) It’s funny to me that Teresa would EVER believe Danielle.
maybe its Melissa Gorga is who Jacqueline was tweeting about and not Teresa. She was trying to give the Gorgas a chance.
The song is really, really bad.
Not necessarily the words, but her voice. Honestly, she sounds tone deaf, and I was very annoyed by the producers, proclaiming they’ve been singing since they were 3 years old, etc, and “you can sing”. PLEASE!
If that’s sining then clearly the producers are horrendously tone deaf as well. I’ll make sure not to buy whatever music they’re selling, judging by that bland, non sining mess they put out called “On Display”.
What a way to demean your career and credibility! #embarrassing
And I actually believe Danielle in this situation. How else would she know what she knows??
Since I’ve been watching the show, I’ve been amazed at how f’d up Joey Gorga and Melissa Gorga are as family members. The crazy thing is that Melissa perpetuates a lot of it, but then back pedals and claims to be a victim. Granted, Teresa is no angel and can be a handful, but she’s one thing she clearly isn’t is a traitor to her family, and that’s what’s most important.
Joey Gorga talks to his parents like crap. Unbelievable. Lower your voice when you speak to your parents, you’re the song, he’s the father! Speak to him with respect! And how dare you call your own sister garbage, then start banging on the table like you’re about to attack your own damn sister. Her husband was right to charge at your immature butt and put you in your place! Clearly you can only pick fights with women and back them up – and your own sister at that!
Then Melissa has a lot of crazy in her, going after someone’s family. You married into that family. You need to pay some damn respect and earn the love and admiration of your husband’s parents and his sister. Yes, Teresa is a handful. But you are a barrel-full, going after your husband’s sister. Stop being passive aggressive. Of COURSE, she doesn’t want your wack ass recipes! She said it was a family cookbook, used mostly her mother’s recipes, and doesn’t have a good relationship with you. WHY IN THE WORLD would she want your recipes?? Melissa knows that, but then offers because she knows she will be shot down, and can use that as an opportunity to cry “woe is me”. GTFOHWTBS.
The two of them are embarrassing, clearly fame whores, and have no loyalty toward family. And “the voice of an angel”??? Oh my god. The two of you are just too disingenous for me. I completely believe Danielle in that equation. Joey and Melissa talk crap about his own sister to strangers, cousins, and anyone else who might listen. They’ve shown themselves to not be trustworthy, to lack credibility, and I completely believe crazy Danielle in that situation.
Their parents must be so ashamed.
@Francoise….I loved that GTFOHWTBS LOL! I’m still trying to give Melissa the benefit of the doubt. But I never thought about her asking Tre to include her in the cookbook just to be shot down??? That was a good point/perspective that I never considered. It was shocked that she asked Tre. I was like, you all are just mending fences why pretend like you’re a big ole happy Italian family? But maybe it was to be the “woe is me. I’m trying soo hard to make things right with Tre.” She knew damn well Tre would turn her down. I think that’s Tre’s real problem: Kathy and Melissa know how to push Tre’s buttons. Tre should be smart enough to know/see what they are doing. They got on the show; made friends with her enemies (Kim G) and now trying to befriend her friends (Jac/Caroline) all to turn them against her. I hope it all backfires on them if this was their true intentions.
If there is one thing proven to be true this season Melissa and Joe Gorge are absolutely without question ‘FAME WHORES’. Melissa is very good at stirring the pot between Joe and Teresa by manipulating conversations. Danielle is way to believable here she has no reason to have information unless it was supplied for malicious purposes. Melissa wants everyone to believe she and Teresa haven’t had any contact for several years as if it is an excuse for any bad behavior she may have had. When Teresa reminds her she and Joe were at her youngest daughters First Birthday party Melissa tries to either ignore, manipulate or change the conversation. Someone seems to be feeling a little guilty. YUH THINK???? Girl better fess up now before it ends up in the gossip columns.
melissa loves her brother way too much to be “in bed” with his sister’s worst enemy basically it boils down to “i can say whatever i want about my family, but don’t u dare say s***” so no i do not think melissa was in contact with danielle
i meant mel lovess her hubby way too much not her brother
Danielle Staub is a bitch
Wow, over 680 comments on the Danielle, Melissa, and Tre drama???? RHONJ has a serious following.
Maybe Danielle could be a surprise guest on the Season 4 reunion and bring her proof. They would need to extend the show by an hour, but I would liove to see Melissa and Joe Gorga exposed. Then Miss Detective, caroline, could finish digging. Dina probably knows a lot but she and Caroline are not speaking. Then Caroline got mad at Teresa for telling that on TV and started a campaigne against Teresa and blamed it on a joke in a book.
I wish the Manzos and Gorgas would be exposed on National TV..
