Melissa Gorga is joining the cast of Real Housewives of New Jersey… but who is Melissa Gorga?

As if RHONJ doesn’t have enough drama, Melissa Gorga, who is Teresa Giudice’s sister-in-law, has been confirmed as the newest member of the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.

Look for Melissa Gorga on season 3 of RHONJ – she’s a stay-at-home-mom to a son, her husband is in real estate, and the family lives in a $4 million mansion in Jersey.

Melissa Gorga is married to Teresa’s brother, and their son (Teresa’s nephew) was the subject of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion show fight that broke out.

Interestingly, Radar Online reports that Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga don’t get along well, reportedly because of “jealously and money.”

A source told Radar Online, “When Teresa got word that her sister-in-law was asked to be part of the show she said, ‘If she’s going to be on the show, then I’m not going to do it.”

Somehow, we doubt that.
