The Posche Fashion Show drama rages on for the Real Housewives of New Jersey!
And a new report today by the Huffington Post’s Rob Shuter is adding fuel to the fire. What is clear is that during the Tuesday night fashion show, there was an attempt by one or more parties to expose Melissa Gorga as an alleged past stripper.
A source told Reality Tea yesterday that Kim DePaola was the one heading this attempt with some help from her new BFF Teresa Giudice. The Huffington Post is however claiming today that Teresa was not behind the expose but rather Bravo producers who had the owner of the strip club come to the fashion show. Even worse, the article is claiming that Melissa did indeed used to be a stripper — something Melissa is still denying.
“The ladies were taping a fashion show at Posche,” an insider states. “Teresa [Giudice] didn’t want to go because she’s completely over the fake Bravo set-ups; however, no one knew what was about to happen. Melissa [Gorga] was nervous that ex-Housewife Danielle Staub was going to show up, but it turned out the surprise guest would be much more damaging.”
Teresa The source continues: “Bravo’s surprise at the fashion show was for Melissa: her ex-boss at Lookers, the strip club she used to work at. No one knew him, no one knew he was coming — although, of course Bravo had a microphone on him — and Melissa ran away from him and refused to film with him,” a witness at the taping says. “The producers made Teresa talk to him to ‘hear him out,’ so his accusations would be aired on camera, but Teresa stopped him mid-story and told him to not talk about her family and left.”
A new source today however tells Reality Tea that Bravo producers were NOT the ones behind the attempt to expose Melissa but rather Kim D. with the help of Teresa. The source states Bravo originally wanted to have the reunion on the 27th — the same night as the Posche Fashion Show — but Kim D. freaked out and convinced the higher ups to move the date promising there would be some air worthy drama.
Twitter user @RIONJ1 told Reality Tea the following: “A fact is a fact. [Melissa] used to work as a dancer at Looker’s Gentlemen’s Club in Elizabeth. Her former manager bought tickets to the show and brought it up on camera when he came over to introduce her. She was paranoid and called Joe Gorga and told her “she was being set up” and parroted that to everyone else. She just assumed Teresa was in on it because she still hates Tre.” RIONJ1 adds that Melissa’s former manager is the one who paid for her boob job.
The Huffington Post article goes on to add that Jacqueline Laurita and Teresa continued their twitter battle offline following the fashion show fiasco and that Jacqueline, who believes Teresa was in on the set- up, was the one who leaked out a photo to the press of Joe Giudice having dinner with another woman.
“Jacqueline’s parting shot after she hung up the phone was to text Teresa a photo of [her husband] Joe and [a] mystery lady at dinner and said she was going to leak it to the press to hurt Teresa,” an insider claims.
The above paragraph is pretty doubtful as Joe was photographed having dinner with the mystery lady while the fashion show was going on. So it’s highly unlikely Jacqueline was the one who snapped the picture and then leaked it to the press.
Teresa The Huffington Post “source” however claims Joe wasn’t cheating on Teresa and that Teresa knew about the dinner with the mystery lady. Uh Uh.
“Teresa’s laughing about it privately, because she knew about it already. Joe had told Teresa he ran into the girl, a family friend, the night when he went out for drinks with his buddies,” claims the source. “The girl has a boyfriend, and I’m pretty sure Joe wouldn’t carry on a big affair at TGI Fridays in Clifton.”
Immediately after the Huffinton Post story was published, Melissa once again denied the story tweeting, “I like rob but this is so untrue.” And when a fan stated the obvious which is that the story likely came from Teresa’s camp, Melissa replied: “You think?!?” Our original source yesterday also stated “Melissa was never a stripper” so the stripper mystery continues…
TELL US – THOUGHTS ON THE LATEST? DO YOU BELIEVE MELISSA USED TO BE A STRIPPER?









Oh please, teresa is the fake one, she is evil and i was a teresa fan.” I was” she thinks the show is all about her, when kathy tallked about a restaurant she was getting a restaurant, yet we never heard about that before. melissa got pictures taken at the same place teresa took her kids and that made teresa upset, why would that upset anyone, why because she has to be the center of everything. The party kathy threw she sat and talked about kathys food, why can’t she ever give anyone a compliment, we never here her say something nice about anyone. like i said i use to be a fan, i feel she is evil and i am a melissa fan now, and if she was a stripper her business. she was’nt married she didnt have kids, so my opinion who cares.
@446 Excellent piece and you may be right on all counts.
I see Tre and Mel as being cut from the same mold. Both are so alike they clash because they both have the same MO’s and goals.
I find Tre to be a little more guilty although I realize we may come to find out they all have legal/ethical issues. Not a good situation for anyone.
so????? Yeah um you know that little thing calling STEALING, gee I guess you wouldn’t want me to bring that up, LOL!
Stealing money from hardworking business owners is the low of the low, bottom of the garbage can. And you think that isn’t a big deal??? Speaks volumes about you my dear.
Teresa is a thief and a liar…..the rest of the cast may be flawed but at least they aren’t criminals facing jail time.
@446valleybutterfly
Wow, I agree with everything you said.
Teresa is a lying sack of sh*t, what kind of person steals and lies? She is a thug and a criminal and acts like an animal.
I wonder how Teresa would feel if someone ripped her off the way she did all those innocent business owners trying to support their families? She is a pig.
First, don’t care if Melissa was a stripper. Second, Teresa is a straight up thug in a dress. I don’t know how much they edit out, but what they’ve left in makes it pretty obvious that the Giudices have no issue breaking the law or lying. Do any of these people actually watch the show? or tapes? Because I clearly saw that Kathy ushered Teresa’s kids away from that brawl. And Teresa’s obsession with her brother and his wife is insane! Melissa is Joe’s wife, you’re not! Teresa comes off a tad bit incestuous and completely narcissistic. Wish they’d throw her fake a** off the show!
teresa ia a thug in a dress???
what do you call caroline all last 2 seasons….& what she did to crazy daneille???
hypocrites maybe???
@457. I know but ppl are here to target Teresa. They don’t care that Danielle and Caroline are more suited for the thug in a dress title.
I am beginning to dislike these housewife shows and don’t plan on watching anymore,who cares about all of this crap….they are getting a handsome paycheck while we are wearing ourselves commenting on this drek( sh ).
@446, Thank you
Just disgusted enough to post this again…hear me BRAVO?
Stick a fork in me….I am done. Teresa and Joe are wrong for thinking that they could spend recklessly and “start over fresh”. The feds will take care of them.
That said, any family member who would go on a reality show to promote their “singing” or “cooking” career at the expense of another…..NASTY….FOUL…..WRONG.
As much as I detest my family for stealing from me, I WOULD NOT FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE GORGA/WAKILE FAMILY. I cannot comprehend the siren song of the step and repeat that would lead a family member to trash another publicly.
Good luck Kathy and Melissa….your karma is right around the corner….you are just as foul as Teresa and Joe. Hope it was worth it.
Best post ever!! @461pancakes. Karma is waiting and its a horrible payback when it comes looking for you. Melissa is as fake as a 3.00 bill along with her opportunistic husband.Everyone reaps what they sow its too bad that now everyone is bringing up the table flip when prior to their agenda it was okay to flip a table based on legitimate loyalty to a friend. Ex: Tre for Caroline went into the table flip out of blind loyalty to Caroline. Caroline has judged her ever since.
you never saw teresa say 1 bad thing about caroline on camera this season but caroline is always full of opinions about teresa & everyone else. I believe bravo set the whole thing up. they all ganged up on teresa at the reunion, it was crazy. It made them look jealous. none of the other NJ wives took advantage of oppurtunities from being on the show. oh wait melissa made an auto tunes song about being on display & hunted by the paparazzi LOL. bottom line teresa isnt intelligent enough to defend herself but if you watched the entire season all you see is melissa talking out of both sides of her mouth acting all wide eyed & innocent about everything & caroline judging everyone. forget about kathy & jacqueline they are so boring.I don’t know maybe i watched a different show than everyone else.
Valleybutterfly: I agree with you! Can’t stand MELISSA! She’s an AWFUL WITCH! She obviously knows how to act all goody when the cameras are around, but I definitely see through her BS! I swear, they fight over the dumbest things!
