Melissa’s Ex Bryan Bulldog Bowen Tweets That He’ll Be Telling His Side of the Story, the “Truth”; Retreat Fight Was Over FameWhorgas

The Gorgas are upset with FameWhorgas for breaking the story on January 16, 2013 about Melissa cheating on Joe with her ex-boyfriend, Bryan Bulldog Bowen (@bulldog_nj). The story broke just weeks before the retreat, so they were boiling over with fury at the time episode 8 was taped, February 10-12, 2013.

During the premiere of episode 8, Bryan, who hasn’t tweeted much about Melissa since February, tweeted “not to blame Teresa, we never even met!” and said, “I will be finally getting my side of the story out, or should I say ‘truth’, very soon”:

“I must have been high to have dated that biocth lmao. Thank God I listened to my family and ran like the wind lmao. Too bad me and my sister are UNBREAKABLE!! Lol 😉 If they would have left me alone I would not even be commenting but since you didn’t, this will be you when I’m done (https://twitter.com/bulldog_nj/status/359118463798743040/photo/1). Ps don’t blame Teresa, we never even met! U wanna play!? I will be finally getting my side of the story out or should I say ‘truth’ very soon. No more poking at me!! Now it’s my turn!! :)) Well lets see…Lifestyles mag had a lot to say about me without ever meeting or speaking to me. Just listened to her! MY TURN! Highest bidder. There’s only so much a person can take 😉 They bashed my name long enough. The best is she said ‘now’ we’re white trash for fighting. Lol you got me into fights every other wkd and loved it. You keying up my female friends Mercedes and hitting girls I spoke to wasn’t white trash? Lmao I can’t take it All you had to do was apologize… what?what?! what?!what?!what?! Nah it’s too late.”

On July 17, 2013, I received an e-mail from someone who explained their theory that the altercation at the retreat in Lake George was over FameWhorgas – the Gorgas couldn’t or didn’t want to say it out loud, but when Melissa was screaming at Teresa to “stop hurting us,” she was referring to FameWhorgas. She and her husband were blaming Teresa for all the cheating rumors because they believed (and may still believe) that she was the mastermind behind this site (which, of course, she is not).

It is understandable that the Gorgas are infuriated with FameWhorgas for exposing their lies and deception, but Teresa is not at fault.

“I personally know the Gorgas, Wakiles and Giudices. I knew Melissa before I knew Teresa, so there are a few things I would like for you to address: Melissa is convinced that Teresa is behind FameWhorgas. Melissa cannot seem to understand why someone would dedicate so much time to a blog about her – negatively! Melissa will contact a blog and throw Teresa under the bus – exactly why people like yourself report what you do about Melissa! Melissa does not seem to understand that bloggers are merely giving their opinion; in other words; they call Melissa’s bluff and it drives Melissa crazy. She always says she knows it is Teresa behind it. Melissa does not see that these sites see how Melissa is so transparent! Speaking of… You all see through her transparent ways.” – Anonymous Source, July 6, 2013

The following is the e-mail on the theory that the altercation at the retreat in Lake George was over FameWhorgas:

Hi, Fame. I am a long time lurker – from the start of your site. I really enjoy coming here but I don’t have the time to comment. I can barely keep up with reading the comments.

Usually your blog and commenters are spot on but I think I’ve caught on to something no one else has. Melissa emphasizing Gorga!! Gorga!! I couldn’t figure it out. At first I though she was playing off the internet blogs calling her and Joey “Marcos” but now I think she was saying it because of this blog. I think the entire argument and fight is about Famewhorgas.

Recall the entire episode. Teresa doesn’t know what she did wrong but everyone keeps alluding to her being behind the rumors about Melissa. How can everyone believe that based on one conversation with Jan? Take into consideration the email you received recently and it confirms, in my mind, that it was about Famewhorgas.

When Jill Zarin outed Lynn Hudson’s IHJZ blog on national TV, it increased Lynn’s hits exponentially. Melissa and Joey refuse to say the name but the clues are there: we’re not accusing you, we’re asking you to stop. You can’t hide your tracks, etc…Finally, Gorga… not Whorga.

Back to lurking. Thank you for all your hard work.

So Melissa repeating Gorg-ga, Gor-ga could have been her way of emphasizing that their name is not Whorgas and could have been her veiled attempt to drive home the point to Teresa that they know FameWhorgas is “the army she has behind her.” However, Teresa was clueless because she has nothing whatsoever to do with this site.

“She has to stop stabbing us in the back. Stop trying to put all this dirty stuff about us out there… She has this army behind her that’s spreading these allegations about my wife.” – Joe Gorga, Season 5 Episode 6

“I wanna know, what did I do?!” – Teresa talking to Juicy back in their room after the fight breaks up at the retreat, Season 5 Episode 8

“[Teresa and her brother have not been alone (without Juicy and Melissa) to talk to each other in probably years – the pain on her face and, yes, his face, looked real.] I think, and I believe this is what was being depicted in episode 8: Melissa has done everything in her power to keep Teresa and her brother from being alone together so that they really could talk. The scenes of Teresa and her brother talking with Dr. V and then cutting to Melissa at the table, so obviously uncomfortable that she wasn’t there to control what was going on – which is why she wouldn’t leave the room when Teresa and Rosie asked her to (“I have to protect you” – bullsh*t!!) – absolutely spoke volumesl!!! She really does not want a reconciliation between Teresa and her brother – never did and never will. She needs to control him and she can’t with Teresa in the way.” – Jeannie5233, July 21, 2013, FameWhorgas

“The icing on the cake was the conversation in the bathroom between the Gorgas the morning after the fight. It was all about Teresa and her success with all these ‘little cheap ass products’, ‘she’ll never get an endorsement from anyone’, and Melissa’s comment about Joe Giudice, that ‘we know where he is going – where he deserves to be’. JEALOUSY – PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!! Melissa not leaving so they could talk – of course not, because she wanted the fight and doesn’t want them to reconcile. Melissa is such a conniving, manipulative bitch, and everyone should be able to see it after this episode. Melissa is the instigator and Gorga is ‘pussy whipped’.” – Isolde, July 22, 2013, FameWhorgas

After the fight breaks up and Melissa says, “This fuckin’ shoe polish all over,” Joe can be heard saying, “He fuckin’ cheats on my sister!” The following is part of the conversation between Melissa and Joe in their bathroom at the retreat, which demonstrates their jealousy over Teresa’s business success resulting from her exposure on the show:

Poison Joe: She doesn’t care. You know what she cares about? The next book deal. The next Fabellini.

Melissa: Fabellini! Fab-e-fuckin-lini sucks! She’s never gonna get a proper endorsement deal from a big company so what she does is, she goes and she makes all these little cheesy fuckin’ products and goes, like, ‘My Fabellini this and that’ (Joe, nodding his head in agreement) and she’s gonna just keep doing that.

Melissa TH: The more I think about what happened last night, the more I think that Teresa does not give a shit. I know that she is who she is and she’s not gonna change.

The retreat in Lake George, NJ was February 10-12, 2013. FameWhorgas was reporting, in real time, about events as season 5 was filming. Since Melissa reads FW (and reads the posts and comments to Joe), she and Joe would be affected by what was being reported at the time they were filming, and would be reacting to stories that were published in the weeks prior to the retreat.

“So you understand, Melissa is on FameWhorgas constantly. Melissa has to read Joe the comments and posts. He can read things like text messages and tweets, but a whole post? No!” – Anonymous Source, July 6, 2013

At the time, their anger at Teresa must have been full blown since they believed, and possibly still believe, she is behind FW. Here are the stories FW published around the time they visited the retreat:

I also believe that the fight Joe Gorga and the Lauritas started at the grand opening of Posche 2 on March 30, 2013, also may have been over FameWhorgas – but, by that time, they were blaming it on Penny Drossos and her husband, John Karagiorgis, which is why they assaulted him. The Lauritas got involved because they also are very unhappy with the stories about them published on this site. Message to the Gorgas and Lauritas: Neither the Giudices or John and Penny Karagiorgis are behind this blog.
