The past two Seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are known for the ongoing feud between sister-in-laws, Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga. Now, we have EXCLUSIVE details that Season 5 of RHONJ is going to be centered around the same drama! All Things Real Housewives reader, Chris Stark (@stark3923), tells me that Bravo is planting stories in US Weekly, to try to make Melissa look like the Star of RHONJ to add fuel to story lines in Season 5, and to make Teresa look like the villain. US Weekly is reporting that Teresa Giudice is insanely jealous of Melissa Gorga, because she is the show’s “break-out star.” The report also states that Teresa wants to “destroy” Melissa in Season 5, and that is going to be the main storyline for RHONJ.
Teresa’s “plan” to take down Melissa is going to fail, and Melissa moves along with her new book deal, “happy and hot marriage” to Joe Gorga, and gets lots of credit for volunteering for Hurricane Sandy Relief. Since the news broke about Melissa’s book deal, the press has been filled with details about The Gorga’s hot, happy, and healthy marriage. Melissa told Celebuzz, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Food definitely plays into creating and maintaining a happy marriage,” she says. “Every night I make sure there is a home-cooked meal on the table when Joe gets home from work.” This will be Melissa’s story line for RHONJ Season 5, while Teresa will appear to struggle with her marriage to Joe Giudice, as he continues to entertain his “many lovers.”
US Weekly also was the first to release the big news about Melissa Gorga’s book deal, along with the sneak peek of their family Christmas Card, where Melissa describes their Christmas plans and traditional Italian ways, and explains how they “invite lots of people and have ridiculous amounts of food and drinks.” Joe Gorga also tells US Weekly that his New Year’s Resolution is, “More Kinky Sex.”
More proof that Bravo wants this to be a story line in Season 5; 2 December issues of US Weekly have featured Melissa in the ‘Who Wore It Best’ section, and Melissa won every time. This is a very famous part of the magazine and features mostly “A-List” Stars. Not only has Melissa been featured in the ‘Who Wore It Best’ section of the mag, she was also in the magazine twice in the December 24th issue! Including ‘The US BUZZZZ-O-METER’ section featuring jewelry worn by her. See the photos below.
UPDATE: Now, US Weekly has added The Gorga Family Christmas Card to the January 7th issue. If you haven’t noticed, Teresa hasn’t been featured in the magazine in a long time. Now, Melissa is featured in Star Magazine’s January 7th issue also. In Season 4 if you recall Gregg getting the infamous In Touch magazine with Teresa on the cover in the hotel in Chicago, Bravo planted that story just like are doing with Melissa for Season 5.

So sick of Bravo and Ms Andy crap! When is Penny and her husband gonna let some truisms float to this magazine or better, its competitors. Have a sick feeling they will become reality addicts and play to make bravo want to have them as full time hw. I just want to know the truth about the Gorga’s 3 rd child and if he is the son of her lover who she was caught cheating with – while married – at the time he was concrived. Let’s be honest, he looks nothing like a Gorga. From all I’ve seen, Melissa seems so barely tolerable of her husband and appears to use him for $ and opportunity. From all I’ve read, these 2 are /were swinger types and love illicit drugs and alcohol….implying that is the glue that keeps them together. She spit out babies for insurance just like Kim Z., allegedly – but I believe it. They are out of money& most feel a book is pretty stupid on this topic as she will leave if a rich guy wants her. Bravo is stupid sloppy just like the losers Andy caters to. Ugh.
Does anyone really care what US weekly puts out there??? 90% of what they put out there is always wrong anyway. Don’t care who continues to fight or not. There is no more mystery now. We all know how Melissa and Kathy got on the show, we all know that Season 4 was to try and take Teresa down. Did not work. We all know how FAKE these shows are now. All the HW shows are becoming less popular, fans are moving on. I’d rather watch Catfish! I will always support whatever Teresa puts out there..love her cookbooks, her bellini’s and her Milana hair care is off the charts. Will only buy Caroline’s and Melissa’s books when they go on sale at Dollar Tree. No cannoli kits for us, thanks! I can make them myself or drive a minute from my house and buy them.
I absolutely cannot abide Mego and her delusional and despicable behavior toward Teresa. And, the was she explains her behavior as self-righteous ad nauseum. Everytime she opens her mouth to praise “Baby Jesus” and that half-man husband of hers, l gag. If this is the story line, I am out of the housewives. I cannot take any more of her or Caro or Jacqo.
Tired of seeing Teresa being the bad target. Bravo you becoming boring, and always same routine. Shame on Bravo
I agree!! I love Teresa and tired of everyone seeing her wrong and not admitting to theirs…
I can’t stand that fake skank. If this is true, I’m not watching. Repeat of the last two damn seasons, anyone?
I’d seriously like to know why BRAVO feels the need to try to manipulate the viewers? They had a successful formula when Real Housewives hit the scene – a formula that wasn’t broke – so why all these machinations to “fix it”? Why prop up the Gorga-Wakile-Manzo and Laurita’s? Saner heads had prevailed and I believe most of them were NOT returning for Season 5, before Hurricane Sandy gave BRAVO a famewhorish opportunity for bonus filming with the established cast. Do they think their true breakout star – Teresa – has amazing cookbook/hair care/Celebrity Apprentice etc due to how they’ve manipulated the gang up on her?
BRAVO can manipulate poll numbers and comments to their hearts content in favor of the other Ho’s . . . but surely the bean counter section of BRAVO/NBC can see by the sales $$$$ who the cash cow of this franchise is – sale figures don’t lie! Brownstone sauce/BLaCK Water/Purses/Cosmetics/Cannoli Kits/and lip synced itunes definitely did NOT sell. *You heard it here first* – neither will advice books from Caroline and Melissa. What WILL happen is viewers will continue to stop watching in droves, as the novelty of the “Real-ness” evaporates and the realization that this is all scripted continues to set in.
I know I won’t be watching if this is the story line.
@Pinky- Teresa stop stalking the comment section. Love your brother and his wife and stop spreading lies about them!

Yea Bitches!!!
Dear Greek Chick – Thank you so much for that refernece, which really made my morning!! I find it hilarious that “Stop-The-Madness” actually is accusing me of being Teresa. LOL No, let me assure you, I would never go on a reality tv show – ever. But I have read quite a lot about the Gorga’s and their past/present secret life. Looks like Penny is a stand-up gal, just like I keep hearing about both her and her husband. God only knows what is going to surface about most of these morons this season. Just hope Bravo doesn’t edit the good stuff and stick the viewers with another lame season of fake crap. Thank you again Greek Girl! and to “Stop-The-Madness”…GO SCRATCH. lol
I’m SICK and TIRED of Bravo’s bulls**! I know that Teresa is an amazing person, mother, and friend, and she is as REAL as they come. Do your research, people! Melissa & Joe are liars and they do NOT have a hot & happy marriage! Come on, now. How stupid are you people to believe that? They came on the show appearing so squeaky-clean that it was ridiculous. Melissa and Joe are habitual liars and they are evil. They want to destroy Teresa and take her down, and they already have started. You buffoons are hating on Teresa because Melissa seems so amazing and pretty and rich and blahblahblah. Teresa has been edited into a villain through Bravo and the press. Bravo got the best ratings when Teresa was fired up, so they were looking for new Housewives that would turn her life upside-down. If I were Teresa I would act the same towards them, if not worse! I despise Melissa. Kathy is too far up her a** to see the sunlight and Caroline & Jacqueline have been BRAINWASHED by them too, along with 75% of the viewers. The truly SMART viewers are Team Teresa because we know the truth, we do our research and everything Teresa says MAKES SENSE! Melissa contradicts herself in every interview and every blog she writes. Teresa sticks to the truth. The rest of them are fake and evil b**ches.
@Stanton… I agree 100%
Team Teresa! I just cannot stand Melissa.
Teresa is nothing more than trailer trash and I would love to see her, her husband and those rotten kids of theirs gone from the show. Teresa is nothing but a back stabbing, piece of shyt liar and Joe is a two-timing POS! Please Bravo, remove them from the show!
What the heck is wrong with Diana?!
She’s got everything backwards!
You can tell she is going to believe bravo editing on Teresa in season 5!
