Melissa Gorga Accused of USING Jacqueline Laurita To Hurt Teresa Giudice

Melissa Gorga Accused of USING Jacqueline Laurita To Hurt Teresa Giudice  

Jacqueline Laurita says Melissa Gorga befriended her, only to use her to hurt Teresa Giudice. 

The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star claims that Melissa Gorga called Jacqueline’s sister-in-law, Caroline Manzo, “too old and boring” to return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

When an Instagram user asked Jacqueline what her thoughts were on Melissa and Caroline Manzo’s friendship, Laurita, 52, replied, “I think they are friendly acquaintances. Melissa always used to say Caroline was too old and boring for the show. (She’s not). Laurita said that Melissa, 43, must have heard Caroline was coming back on the show, and maybe she was “trying to form her alliances.”

Laurita is married to Manzo’s brother, Chris Laurita. In a Sunday interview with AllaboutTRH, Jacqueline shed more light on Melissa’s manipulative behavior. “Well, let’s just say that she was really good at lying while keeping a straight face and very good at manipulating people,” Jacqueline added.

Manzo’s sister-in-law also blamed Melissa and Joe for the end of her friendship with Teresa Guidice. “The whole time, Melissa and Joe were in my ear manipulating me, telling me secrets about Teresa, things Teresa would say and do to them, and telling me things Teresa would say behind my back.” She went on to say that after Melissa came around, she began to see a different side of Teresa.

Jacqueline told AllAboutTRH, “To answer your question truthfully, Yes, Melissa spoke poorly of Teresa when they appeared to be good, and no, I don’t believe she ever liked Teresa or wanted Teresa and I to be close again. Everyone was just playing the TV game. I’ll give you one more example of how Melissa was in my head. There are SO many instances.”

Laurita explained that the night before she went to Vermont, she filmed a dinner scene with Teresa, and when she told Melissa about it, she acted weird.

“When I told Melissa about it, she acted weird and reminded me not to trust it because Teresa really hated me and I needed to remember that.” Jacqueline continued, “I believe that Melissa was jealous that Teresa and I were getting along and she knew that producers were pushing for us to be friends again. That’s why I believe Melissa twisted the narrative on camera into steering the viewers to believe that I was the one jealous of their relationship.”

Jacqueline added that she was never jealous of their friendship and urged both Teresa and Melissa to work on their relationship. While speaking of Melissa, Jacqueline said she was upset and confused at how Gorga turned her back on her, on camera, after she was a good and supportive friend.

“I felt used by her. She planted seeds that I was being paranoid when she was the one paranoid and making me feel paranoid with the things she would tell me. Melissa didn’t do that to me to be loyal to Teresa like some viewers thought, it was for how the fans would view her and to also keep a wedge between us. That’s when I realized who she really is, and I had no interest in ever talking to her again from that day on. She did the same thing to her cousin Kathy so I should have known better.”

Jacqueline also told the outlet that she is not interested in returning to The Real Housewives of New Jersey. “I have zero interest in going back on RHONJ. I live on the west coast anyway. As much as the girls’ trip sounds fun, I realistically don’t see how I could get a sitter for that amount of time for me to go on it. I’m not here to bash Melissa. I’m just here honestly answering questions from fans because I’m an OG, and I don’t have to silence myself just because I’m not filming anymore.”
