Because music has always been her first interest, she attempted to pursue a singing career in the beginning. She released her song On Display on iTunes in 2011 to mixed reviews from reviewers. She has subsequently published an EP with four new songs and an EP with four new songs. On July 5, 2012, she added two new songs to her iTunes catalog: How Many Times (published on April 29, 2012) and Rockstar (issued on June 10, 2012).

Her fourth single, I Just Wanna, was released in September 2012. It comes with a music video composed by hip-hop artist Santino Noir. Her most recent book, Love Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage, was released in 2013. Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, whom she has been married to for over 17 years, spent over $1 million in 2009 on a New Jersey home that includes a theater, gym, recording studio, hair salon, and other amenities. The couple has three children. In 2019, they moved into another million-dollar home with seven bedrooms after selling the prior one for $2.5 million. They plan to sell their current home in 2021 for $2.9 million.

Melissa-Teresa feud explained

Teresa Giudice’s relationship with her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga has deteriorated since season 13 of RHONJ ended last year. Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice made it quite clear in their season 13 taglines that their feud is far from over. The rivalry, which erupted mostly as a result of Joe and Melissa’s choice to forego Teresa’s August 2022 wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas, was hinted at in the show’s season 13 teaser, which also included various arguments among the family members—some of which were violent.

The reasons behind the Giudice-Gorga family conflict, such as why Joe and Melissa chose not to attend the wedding and Teresa said that Joe was “not my brother,” will reveal if the celebs wish to reconcile in the next season. Melissa Gorga said on an episode of her podcast Melissa Gorga On Display:

“I’ll tell all of my listeners: clearly, something happened at the end of shooting The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Those specifics, I definitely cannot provide those now. I am not permitted to discuss what we have shot.”

Melissa Gorga was introduced to RHONJ viewers in the third season, despite the fact that Teresa had been a cast member since season one. Teresa’s brother Joe Gorga called her “trash” during his son’s baptism in Season 3’s opening episode, In The Name of the Father, which aired on May 16, 2011. As a consequence of the statement, he got into a confrontation with Teresa’s ex-husband Joe Giudice. Teresa also referred to Melissa as a “money digger” on the broadcast, going so far as to claim that Joe had cheated on Melissa in 2012. Melissa had to put a stop to the torrent of allegations. She added that if circumstances had been different, she would have let Joe to stay through their financial lows, which she did not.

Joe Giudice and Joe Gorga participated in a fistfight in season 7 of RHONJ, giving the hatred a new aspect and garnering them each a jail term. Teresa was sentenced to 11 months in prison as well. Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga resolved to put their fight behind them in 2015, but it flared up again in 2018 when Teresa accused Melissa’s husband of not spending enough time with his family.
