not only the best friend but a producer too! hence why Joe and Melissa got such an innocent cut in their first few seasons. the producer has since been fired due to being behind striper gate. If you remember at the christening it was Joe who caused the drama at his own sons christening but teresa got the blame because it was easy to blame her. Teresa isn't exactly the nicest person so its super easy to villainies her, not only that, she's dense as
duck so I think she struggles to communicate this allows for Melissa to get away with her bullshit, trust me I was Melissas biggest fan until I found all of this out now knowing this info rewatch the show and you will feel so stupid for not realising Melissas facial expressions and lies.
she told Joe what to say as they drove away from the club during stripper gate she planned it
Remember when Melissas bridesmaid amber joined the show and said Melissa completely ghosted all her old friends, it was because they knew about the open marriage and Melissa didn't want it coming up on the show. Think about it has Melissa ever had any friends on the show? As for the IRS stuff regarding Teresa I honestly think her husband manipulated her she doesn't seem that smart I really do believe that she just signed on the dotted line like an idiot housewife. In the end though she wised up to what Joe and Melissa tried to do and instead of fighting against it she plays nice with Melissa, she finally realised that not reacting to Melissas disgusting behaviour leaves Melissa and Joe with nothing but these make pretend story lines
yep the ex-bestfriend was the one who said this. Melissa and Joe had an open marriage and Melissa got with an ex and got pregnant accidentally but I didn't believe it tbh, why would she keep it lol Joe doesn't seem like the type to put up with that - only thing is, the ex didn't confirm or deny anything and so some fans believe that the truth is in the silence
In an
interview with AllAboutTRH, Jan Marie DeDolce, Melissa’s friend of 12 years and another former bridesmaid, said Melissa called her out of the blue to have lunch with her because she wanted to know if Jan had told anybody about the night at Sushi Lounge – the night during the summer of 2009 when Melissa allegedly hooked up him in the parking lot (the alleged father)
At the Milania launch party in episode 12, Jan and Melissa discussed that night, with Jan explaining that Melissa said to “make sure you say my sister-in-law was there.” Jan said to Melissa: “You used me as an alibi.” Melissa had an obsession with taking teresa down, she even promised her sisters that they'd be cast members if they'd help her but bravo turned them down for being too ratchet.
