‘RHONJ’ Recap: Melissa Gorga’s Scandalous Past Revealed

Kim ‘D’ returns stirring up some serious drama and bringing back a guy from Melissa’s shocking past! Read on for ALL the details.

The episode kicked off with Melissa Gorga trying on clothes in order to prepare for an important meeting regarding her music. But the impromptu fashion show was interrupted by a phone call from stranger Kim “D” – regarding her own infamous fashion show. Melissa is understandably skeptical since Kim was allegedly spreading rumors about Joe Gorga.

“I don’t trust these Kim girls,” Melissa says.

Back at the Giudice house, Kim “D” drops by to deliver an invite to her to the fashion show while Teresa is teaching the kids how to speak Italian. Kim tells Teresa that she’s going to invite Jacqueline Laurita and Caroline Manzo. Teresa is fine with Jacqueline coming, but a little on edge having Caroline on the list.

But Caroline is too busy dining with her son Albie and his new girlfriend to worry about the fashion show. While Caroline says she likes Albie’s new lady – who just moved in with him – her actions speak differently.

Meanwhile, Kim “D” prepares for the show with Jacqueline and Caroline – who all think the show is going to end in a big blow out like it has in previous years. Jacqueline says she’s going to have a play date with Melissa and her kids, but she’s worried about what Teresa will think.

“We seem to be in a decent place,” Jacqueline says optimistically.

But the play date ends up being all three of the ladies and while things are supposed to be fine between Jacqueline and Teresa – they’re clearly not – and Melissa can smell the tension in the air.

Meanwhile, Melissa and Kathy Wakile prepare for the fashion show together while Teresa gets ready with Kim “D.” But then Teresa crosses paths with someone from Melissa’s past: Angelo! Apparently she used to be a dancer for him. Hmm! Teresa kindly asks him not to talk about her family even though it’s clearly bothering her. Finally, she walks out of the room while Kim grills the guy about what he means by dancing.

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about Melissa dancing, and this person kind of confirmed it,” Teresa tells the cameras.

But Teresa puts on a brave face and goes on pretending like she’s doesn’t care about the news. Everyone is fine at the fashion show until Angelo confronts Melissa himself, but Melissa pretends like she doesn’t know him!

Bum, bum, bum! Clearly this is the calm before the storm – yikes!

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you believe Melissa was a dancer? Weigh in below!

My theory, this was a set-up by Joe G. so that Theresa would finally get her revenge on Melissa! His Bro. shows up at the fashion show? Teresa was directed by husband without all the details so she would look innocent! What does Joe have to lose…or do these days?? Competing with his wife’s new cook book, fame…??, he is probably living off of Teresa’s salary now– who would hire him after his antics being broadcast?! I wouldn’t. Anyway, without the other housewives outshining his wife, the more money and articles Teresa will be offered and the longer they can live in lah-lah land.

Joe doesn’t care for he wants Teresa off the show,but Teresa isn’t budgging because that’s what the other housewives want!!!Teresa had already signed up for season 3 and 4,then her boss called her a weak later saying her family is on the show!!!Teresa couldn’t back out of it!!!!!

I think Teresa was just acting like she didn’t want to hear it because the camera was rolling. We all heard her say to Caroline and Jacq that Melissa was a stripper. Teresa has a case of plane O envy. Jealeaous that her brother has a better marriage than her, jealeous that her bro pays more attention to his family than her. Behind the scenes I’d bet that Teresa got Kim D to do this but make it look like it was accidental. Just my observations!

WOW it’s kinda off funny,when people say Teresa is stupid and doesn’t know anything but when comes to what happen at the PFS,Oh Teresa DID IT!!!Joe Gorga and Melissa marriage is fake,Melissa got handed to Joe.Melissa didn’t even like Joe.Melissa like to say that she’s italian and also stay home with her kids,BullCRap!!!!!!Then in season 3 episode 7 she says she has nannies because her and Joe can pay for it!!!Which one isit?hmmmm?!!!When there kids are with nannies Melissa out with ex boyfriend (BUtch)and Teresa brother is out hooking up with every girl in a skirt,he still has charges pressed against him in Patterson,NJ.Kim D runs Teresa she even admitted that at the reuion.Your obsercation sucks!!!

Come on Teresa should of called Melissa as girl friends family would of done to stop her or give her heads up on the BULL one phone call so f Teresa

MElissa already knew half of what was going to happen,she even txted joe about it at the PFS,ya’ll didn’t see that did you?!!!Melissa didn’t even think Teresa done it until Jacqueline crazy self said it!!! I know Teresa doesn’t come out as logcal sometimes,but what I admire about her is that she’s a hard worker and she tells the Truth,unlike her so called family(Melissa,Joe,Richie,Kathy)and friends(Caroline,Jacqueline)!

The other ladies didn’t stage it, they just filmed their interviews after this happend so they knew it was coming. Theresa acts like she didn’t want the guy to talk about Melissa, but you can see how much she loves the new. Its written all over her face.

thats because she didn’t!!!

I noticed how these women kept stating that there was going to be this big blow out! They set Teresa up big time!! Caroline, Kathy, Melissa, and Jacqueline all looked like they were waiting for everything to happen!!! Such staged drama in order to try to get Teresa off the show! These ladies are pathetic!
