'RHONJ' Jacqueline Laurita Deems Melissa Gorga Dangerous, 'Can Lie With A Straight Face'

Jacqueline Laurita is accusing Melissa Gorga of ruining her friendship with Teresa Giudice. She claims that a “wedge” was created.
Jacqueline Laurita Misses Teresa Giudice
In an exclusive interview with All About The Tea, Laurita sat for a long chat with the blog where they delved into her friendship with Giudice and Gorga, or lack thereof. “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,” vomited Laurita when asked if Melissa ever spoke poorly of Teresa.
Initially, the blog reached out to speak with Jacqueline after she commented on Melissa being jealous of Caroline Manzo and allegedly calling her “old’. Jacqueline, while maintaining she likes “to be private” kept spilling the beans.
Jacqueline Laurita Takes Us Way Back
Jacqueline, who hasn’t been on the show for god knows how long now, took us way back to the early days of the Bravo hit when Melissa was still relatively new and still on good terms with the Manzo family.
“I believe 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 into believing that I was the one jealous of their relationship.”
In fact, the former reality star insisted that she was hurt by Melissa turning her back on Jac, “I was also upset and confused about the way Melissa turned her back on me on camera after I was a good and supportive friend to her. I felt used by her.”
She went as far as to tell All About The Tea that Melissa kind of gas lit her. “She planted seeds that I was being paranoid when she was the one paranoid and also making me feel paranoid with the things she would tell me.”
Melissa Gorga Is The ‘Wedge’ Between Jac & Teresa
Jacqueline’s words should be taken with a grain of salt because reality TV has unfortunately helped us to be wary of her side of things. That being said, she insists that all those things Melissa did to “stick up” for Jac like skipping her family Christmas dinner was an act of manipulation.
“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.”
Really, Jacqueline Laurita
Being a fan of the Real Housewives of New Jersey it is wearisome to us when you open an interview by saying, “Let’s be clear…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 even here to bash Melissa.” Okay, Jac
She also noted,
“I don’t know what’s pulling me to answer these questions when I usually stay silent. I love my quiet, private life. I just love to connect with fans. I typically only answer RHONJ questions randomly on my Instagram lives or in my own comment section. I have absolutely nothing to gain here but yet I feel pulled to respond.. I guess with the new RHONJ season airing soon, people are asking me a LOT of questions lately.”
The interview has been rubbing Jersey Housewives fans the wrong way since it dropped. Do you think Jacqueline is trying to get back in on the action despite what she says?
