On January 13, 2013, Melissa Gorga tweeted that she and Joe are coming out with a workout DVD:
“So excited to tell you @joegorga & I are coming out with a workout DVD! You can workout with us in your home! More details to come.”
During season 3, a scene (screenshots above) was filmed of Joe and Melissa trying to work out. During the scene, Joe gropes her before they go for a jog. In her talking head interview describing the scene, Melissa said “I’ve never really worked out before in my life”:
“I’ve never really worked out before in my life and I’m all done having kids, and honestly, I just want to go for a nice jog!”
However, in her season 4 Bravo blog, The Teresa-Kim Set-Up, published on October 16, 2012, Melissa wrote, “I do work out three times a week”:
“I do work out three times a week, and no, I don’t do a lot of cardio.”
In the same Bravo blog, she stated she used portion control and chasing her kids as her cardio workout:
“I honestly never diet. I eat healthy and I always use portion control… I don’t do a lot of cardio. My children are my cardio. I run around with them all day up the stairs down the stairs — I am a human taxi. All I do is run around!”
Melissa became upset with Reality Tea for posting an article quoting a source who insists “Melissa hardly exercises and therefore it doesn’t even make sense that she would pursue this route.” Here are her tweets on January 14, 2013 about that article:
In other unrelated announcements, on January 9, 2013, Melissa tweeted that Joe had a fever and she was nursing him back to health:
“How is everyone?! @joegorga has a fever:.( I’m nursing him back to health..”
She wasn’t able to nurse him back to health, since on January 10, 2013, Joe tweeted about being in the hospital with the flu:
“I’m dying over here in the hospital this flu kicked my ass. Not a word or movement from Tarzan in 4 days #Pain.”
Melissa didn’t seem too concerned the next day, the morning of January 11, 2013 (she was probably elated that Tarzan was out of action and she was getting a break from running from his poison), when she tweeted a plug for a salon and how she just got the best blowout around:
“Just left @BogettaSB salon in Cedar grove.. Seriously the best blowout around.”
On the afternoon of January 11, 2013, Teresa tweeted sympathy for Joe:
“My poor brother with this horrible flu. Everyone, please, get your flu shot! “
Later, on January 13, 2013, Teresa Giudice tweeted about bringing her Dad home from the hospital, but there were no such tweets from Joe or Melissa about papa Gorga:
“Going to get my dad out of the hospital. Happy to be bringing him home on a Sunday!”
A week earlier, Teresa had been filming with her Bravo friends Kim D and Jennifer Dalton (both paid cast members for season 5). Jennifer tweeted photos (below) of them having lunch at Teresa’s house.
Melissa Gorga is trash!!! And I wanted to be the first to comment. I’m hoping I beat Dee Know-It-All!!! LOL.
THATS FUNNY ,THATS ALMOST HER NAME,,,,,U GO….ILL PAT MY FOOT WHILE YOU TELL HER,WELL I CANT HARDLY PAT MY FOOT CUS OF MY 2 KNEE REPLACEMENTS.
I have always been fairly active – was a good athlete in school, running track and playing varsity basketball and volleyball, and even after having kids and gone through menopause have managed to stay in pretty good shape. Until recently, (I am needed at home now so I have had to stop going), I went to the gym on a fairly regular basis and worked with trainers.
There is NO WAY I would ever recommend a workout DVD from two people who have absolutely NO CERTIFICATION as trainers; NO education in the physiology of the human body; no medical background; and no formal training whatsoever.
What in heaven’s name makes them think they are qualified or have expertise – anyone who buys into this crap is throwing their money away. I mean, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!
EXCLUSIVE!!! Melissa Gorga’s Workout Secrets EXPOSED!!!
Step One: Do two lines of cocaine.
Step Two: Have Joe attempt to ‘dry hump’ you.
Step Three: Run like hell.
Step Four: Repeat steps one through three.
haha lol!
love that answer, can i have box of candy while we watch them lol lol
HYSTERICAL…..
You people are crazy funny LOL.. Thank you for making me laugh… Bad day..
Jeannie you are so right and Brigid that is hilarious!!!!
LMBO
HUGE HELLO EVERYBODIES,
Jeannie I was thinking the exact same thing, some people go to UNI etc to become quailfied to help people with fitness.
Honestly when will all this end with these two, it is a wonder she would want to after the failure of the music etc.
PS So happy we have changed topic though, lets make this one full of good humor.
BUT FOR THE RECORD KIM D IS TROUBLE
This seems like the first time Melissa has been answering tweets re her lies..she must be feeling the pressure..or seeing that no one is buying her bs anymore & getting desperate
Jeannie, I’m envious of ur dedication to fitness!! I’m small naturally and have never cuddled up to working out (thought about it lots over the years) I’ve always admired that in a person. It shows dedication. I’m about as qualified as Melissa when it comes to fitness and am certain, nobody would be interested in my video. Being blessed with good genes hardly qualifies one as being an expert..
Thanks Dubba!! I started out because I loved the challenge – running is my first love – held the school record for the 1/4mile for many years but because of arthritis had to give it up. Now that I am older, I have had to alter workouts and it is just a matter of trying to keep my joints “oiled” like the Tin Man!!! Some days those morning stretches ARE a real challenge!!!
Bring it on big mouth,u say that because u can’t.I am a 2 star mma fighter,my husband is a 5 ,I have never been intimidated by ppl that live their lives in A fantasy world through TV.U must really miss ur soaps!!
Hello sweet dee how has your day been all good we hope, I bet you cleaned your room done your homework, had a bath, brushed your teeth and now time for a bedtime story, now that is done.
GO TO BLOODY SLEEP OR NO PLAY TOMORROW
OMG!! I was only having fun with you Dee!! I thought you’d come back with a nice Rigid or Frigid joke.
Hi Brigid,
I really think young dee likes coming on here as we are like parents to her, someone that will actually talk to her even if she is rude
BLESS THE LITTLE DEVIL
Bless her heart. I do love me some Tweedle Dee.
Brigid – I just got it – I just re-read your first comment – excellent play on pronunciation!!
Tweedle Dumb
mma – well that explains everything – too many blows to the head!
naughty naughty… bwhahahaha!
2 star? That means you’re not that good. Your husband is a 5?! Why isn’t he pro? Lies…
Her workout must consist of getting up and down off of your knees, running from SloJo with his “poison” and pushing him away! Good for your butt, legs and arms!
did u all see this tweet ,
“Melissa Gorga@melissagorga
@KelEMartin @realitytea can u even rent a Chanel?! Cast member publicly claims bankruptcy & I have to rent? What is wrong with this writer
Real quote: ““Just left @BogettaSB salon in Cedar grove.. Seriously the best blowjob I gave around.”
HU OOOO I THINK YOU MEANT TO SAY BLOOWW OOUUTTT,
Honnie..hilarious!!!
You guys are on a roll today!!!!!
Did we all hear a workout storyline before in other HW franchises? Now I know that I am not going to watch this season. I am going to read the blogs and recaps of the series. Workout video? They might as well produce a sex tape as Melissa clearly stated in season 3 that you will get more fans by releasing a sex tape. Since Joe cannot stop his tarzan coming out every three seconds.
but maybe mel.lissa was singing to tarzan, and thats why it died
Don’t know what it is, but all of a sudden now there’s this blow-up of women in HW franchises having a workout storyline: currently there’s Phaedra in ATL, Tamra from OC just opened up a gym, and now Melissa is coming out with a workout video. A couple years ago Bethenny released a work out DVD, but that’s really all I can’t really remember other HWs released any sort of athletic… anything.
Kenya b moore crazy is releasing one too. Probably to train people to run from her “singing”
Now that is funny.
I’d probably buy Kenya’s if all I had to do was twirl, twirl, twirl and look at hotty male dancers!
I do wonder why if 1 does something then it is like ducks in A row.I don’t get it.
Melissa followed me!I think there is at least some good in her,but when I tweeted her and asked her about tommy and bulldog a.k.a Brian,she never tweeted back!
There’s good in her because she followed you on twitter?
Brittany — I know you are young, someone following you does not make them good. There is no good in Melissa. None whatsoever.
Oh come on she is human and does have some feeling lets remember that we don’t need to knock her down to make her look any worse then she already done to herself. The lying is what gets me. She has to many truths for the same story. Just a friendly reminder….. But I must say I do enjoy reading all that each of you have to say…
True — I guess it’s good that she loves herself, mother, sisters and children. Can’t think of anything else right now.
ping 1
ok now what does “ping 1″ mean?
Whew your turn to ask — LOL.
If it’s any consolation I have to ask to! When I first started commenting I had know idea what ITA was!
Melissa has been ranting on Twitter about a RT article saying she was doing it to one-up Teresa:
http://www.realitytea.com/2013/01/14/exclusive-is-melissa-gorga-really-making-a-workout-dvd-or-is-she-just-trying-to-one-up-teresa-giudice-real-housewives-new-jersey/
Melissa is tweeting how RT and AATRH are such a joke and blah, blah, blah but this exchange is interesting:
Melissa Gorga@melissagorga
. @Realitytea you should check it out.. http://www.melissagorga.com/press/ T always prides herself in interviews, she never had to work out until now.
Alejandra Plantillas@AlejandraPlant1
@melissagorga @Realitytea so now you’re bashing T to defend yourself.
Melissa Gorga@melissagorga
@AlejandraPlant1 @Realitytea bashing?? Oh lord..
She also tweeted this:
Melissa Gorga@melissagorga
. @Realitytea my book is about staying sexy & being fit as well. Just started working out now? Seriously. Have you seen my press page?
There’s more with Melissa being defensive – seems the RT article really hit a nerve!!!!!
She is also defending herself about Gia’s party – she says she wasn’t invited to Gabriella’s party and sarcastically says “there were no cameras.”
She has been on a real tear tonight!!!!
see people this is what I am talking about this women needs to keep a diary of all the lies she tells it might help her keep them in line.. LOL… No cameras for Gavriella’s party what trash… ( we all know what that means)… I know I said we didn’t need to call names or anything but when you start talking about children it just upsets me.. Gloves off then…
I hear you David!!!
And yet there is more …
Melissa Gorga @melissagorga

She is very defensive tonight mzjulesaz! I find unusually so! I think the reference to Gabriella’s party AND her being called out about trying to one-up Teresa set her off. Because, frankly, I think she did rip Teresa off, even if it was indirectly, because I remember reading awhile back on Tre’s TL someone suggesting a workout video and she liked the idea!
Bottom line from my vantage point is that there is a very small market for workout videos. It is already saturated with certified people that know what they are doing. I just don’t see the market for any of the housewives, including Teresa making a dent in this space.
I agree – none of these people are qualified. A “mommy” workout??? Really? Maybe she should “work” on being more of a “mommy” and stay home with her kids a little more. She was in a limo tonight for three hours driving somewhere – that’s why all the tweets. Sorry – I realize there are a lot of working moms out there who genuinely juggle work and motherhood and it is hard but Melissa projects herself as a stay-at-home mom who cooks dinnner everynight and tucks her kids in. A ridiculous claim.
I agree Jeannie! She’s making less and less sense with each tweet and trying to cover up lies she can’t remember as there are so darn many of them.
at least you can tell Tre works out now..so I would consider a video of hers. maybe with her trainer
OMG!!! 3 times a week is recommended working out! Not working out is 0 times a week. And this lady was intending to educate children? Has some form of degree in psychology?
Honestly, I understand she’s been doing little blurbs in magazines, well her go to mag, but they are just throwing anything out there to see what will sticks! What’s next? A fragrance? Didn’t Liz Taylor already do Poison? Maybe that was Passion….
Bad move Melissa – RT blog has mostly been pro-Mego.
In her tweets she even mentioned “Mary” who writes over there and questioned “where” and “who” her sources were and that she was “making up” stories – like you said, not too smart!
Yep Mary has been very pro-Mego for the most part … not wise to publicly piss the bloggers off, not wise.
ITA!
Just took a stroll over to Missy’s twitter – you are right! Sh’e really on a roll! I always thought RT was her go to blog. Something must have happened? If she reads there, she must read here!
Is there any doubt that Melissa was compensated in some way for that tweet? Either free or reduced rates.
I’d never buy workout instruction from any of the RH anywhere. Most have good genes and good docs. Not good training!
I would venture to say 80% of her tweets are a result of some type of reimbursement.
Please someone make Melissa & Joe Marco just go away already!!! I am so sick of narcissistic sociopaths I mean really I just can’t they are so pathetic!! Teresa I feel so sorry for you this has to be devastating for her the way those two are acting and treating her and her parents!!
The sad part Victoria is that there is a story or two coming out a day about her either via US Mag or the blogs. She’s in the spotlight now, good bad or ugly and loving every minute of it. People are talking about her, the Victim, not Teresa but her, the Victim and new Star of the show. She’s eating this up.
You know what I just found now?!?!? An article about Melissa tweeting NeNe congratulations for being at the Golden Globes –
http://www.examiner.com/article/real-housewives-of-new-jersey-star-melissa-gorga-congratulates-nene-leakes
I think it will soon be reported exactly when Melissa goes to the ladies room!!
mzjulesaz – you are right. She is eating all of this up and enjoying every single bite. Whoever her publicist is, she better be paying them bigtime. SHE IS FREAKING EVERYWHERE!!
It really is crazy. If you look at it though, there’s alot of negativity around it. Eventually, she’ll saturate the market and become even more unwatchable. It’s a fine line. If you look at people like Tom Cruise – I loved him until they started flooding the press with him and Katie Holmes (the infamous couch jump), same with Taylor Swift – one minute she was the little darling, the next minute she’s the butt of Golden Globes jokes.
She needs to become unique in order to become interesting – all she has done is copy her sister in law. There’s sooo many other products out there ripe for endorsement. These women don’t think outside the box and have PR people handling appearances and press releases, they need agents or managers who are more proactive in development.
Teresa has it nailed!
When I came to the Fame’s website today, I was excited to read a new article. But then I read the content and my first thought was, ‘Eeeeew, a workout video from the Gorgas??’ I’m sure it will be a bunch of footage of two inexperienced sexpots…or one inexperienced sexpot with the other running away. Really, how do they come up with these ideas?
Ladies
Mel stated that we will have to wait for further updates about dvd I bet its going to be MELISSA AND JOE VERSION OF KARMA SUTRA
I really don’t understand why she had THREE kids?!?!? I understand that after marriage, it’s the next step. But she doesn’t even seem like she enjoys being a mom and something seems very off to me. I’m also 8 months pregnant, so maybe I’m reading too much into it?
Brigid
I wondered that all through S/4 she seems like she has not clicked with me, no birthday bashes etc my kids remember all those little things.
I think she’s a lost soul and that she should have went back to work. Something, anything to ground her.
I don’t really like talking about her children or her as a mother… especially since I don’t have too much nice to say about her role as a mother. I will say that she seems disconnected. There was one time she was giving the little one a bath and it seemed like such a chore to her. No different than the way I wash my dog. Now please don’t anyone say I’m comparing her son to a dog because I’m NOT.
That was a entertaining read Fame!
Hey Brigid – I’ll race you to the birthing suit – 3 weeks!!
Now you know the Gorga workout DVD will be released with a complimentary Melissa Gorga CD, hoping to push her to the top spot on the itunes chart. They have to get some use out of the recording studio. I suggest she start with a “Let’s Get Physical” Cover.
Of course, Sackem! Brilliant idea including a cd with all of Melissa’s #1 hits!
Phaedra, from the Atlanta Housewives, has a ‘donkey booty’ video. Melissa should have a ‘horse face’ video with facial stretching. I don’t think her music career will pan out. Melissa Gorga is getting a little long in the tooth.
i have to say that comment made me laugh out loud so suddenly that I frightened the cat.
Also, I’m so glad that this thread is so much happier.,
Those with real singing voices, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, etc… age doesn’t matter as long as their voice lasts. For someone who’s doing it for kicks, i.e. these housewives, it’s not going to last. With regard to autotuned singers… the accomplished ones are so because they know how to perform. They can at least put on a show. Melissa not so much. She will end up being less known than those who are one hit wonders.
They really need to start checking here for PR advice.
Word.
What does “word” mean in the on-line vernacular?
It means you totally agree!!!
Thank you — my daughter was not home to ask. Sucks to get old.
At least you can change your Avitar. I have no idea how to make that happen!
I learned how yesterday while perusing SH. In the upper right hand corner of the screen, click on your name. Then find Public Profile and it let’s you change your gravatar. ON SH, not sure what she has set up differently but if someone responds to a comment I make, I get an orange thingie next to my name now and lists the activity — makes it way easier. It’s actually nice. Maybe Fame can figure out how to do that for us.
Fancy!
And Sackem… Congrats!! You’ll probably beat me in a few weeks. Although I’m having a hard time wondering whether A) my belly has dropped or B) my ass has gotten higher.
Sackem… I don’t know where to put this so you’ll see it. It’s not housewives related, but it’s hysterical. Pregnant lady dancing on Ellen!!
That’s brilliant!
Ugh, no one can ever prepare you for what happens to your body! Everything’s dropped on me and gotten wider….
Brigid and Sackem – I know – believe me, I know having gained 75lbs with my second (lots of water retention!!!) you don’t feel great about your bodies right now – but you know what, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Oh thanks Jeannie! I just remind myself that I’m actually building a human!
Exactly – and what could be more beautiful than that?!!
I would have happily gained weight and changed my body to be able to have a child. Consider it a blessing that your body has changed for that reason. It’s going to change once you hit menopause anyway. Trust me.
PS Congratulations to you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I vote they have to do a urine test before filming!
Oh boy!! Bet Joey would decline on that one!
Jeannie who pays for it? do the gorgas have to or has someone approached them.
They had to with the music didnt they? eg recording room built in their home.
Hey Tassie. If it’s self produced, as suggested, they’d be forking out the money – in theory or looking for some kind of sponsorship. Basically, they’d be making the opportunity for themselves, like they tried to with the songs. It doesn’t sound like she was approached to do it.
Thanks Sackem,
After just going to her web and seen all the mags she has been in the money won’t be an issue, someone at that US mag certainly loves her.
If the RH franchise was to end today and we all forget about them I wonder what they would do.
I think it’d be “Melissa who?” I just don’t feel like she can parlay this experience into something lasting. I keep forgetting about Kathy and it’s only been a couple of months…
Speaking of Kathy – when you get a chance, heck out @WakileMustGo on Twitter – a new timeline tracking Rich Wakile’s tweet and delete tactics and his nasty comments about and to women. He is such a creep.
Proud member — 200+ and growing following the @WakileMustGo. That family has issues and no they have subzero class including the kids. And Victoria is a “public figure” now and has her own FB page. I saw that and went huh? Guess the definition of public figure is very loose nowadays.
I’m not on twitter – but I do look at the TL’s – I would also be a proud member – he is disgusting. That Victoria – she is 18 now I believe so she is no longer off limits. Before she got savvy and started watching herself and what she said on Twitter , well, that little one has quite the mouth on her – she can be just as catty and nasty as her mother AND her father.
That is just… wow! What a horrible man!
Is she trying to be phedra and apollo? Phaedra has is fabulous. Melissa’s a plane Jane that will always be second best.
ok im retiring for the nite and im going to talk about teresa ,wonder how her dad is ?wonder if he and joey were in the same hospital together? maybe it was planned so they could talk it out so melgo wouldnt be around,,teresa is looking really good ,she has an exercise tape coming out ,i’m sure
love and good wishes to you all
Night Celi!
Phaedra and Apollo’s donkey booty or Melissa and Joe’s horses ass. Hmmmm….decisions decisions decisions.
There’s a comix in there for you!
i have an off topic question: why does kathy wakile have a wiki page? most HW dont. for teresa or esp kandi, it makes sense, but most pages will be removed if created for people who have only appeared on a single reality show.
Melissa/Jordan is still messing around. Joe is or wanting to believe that she is having an affair. As soon as the money is completely gone. Which was a month ago ! Theresa knows all about it, but she knows he won’t believe her until he figures it out. Melissa is who caused the friction! I’m just going to watch and enjoy
