This week, we’re talking about Melissa Gorga, a Real Housewife who often sparks debate. I’m a big fan – those of us who are are sometimes called ‘Gordita Crunches’! While she’s not perfect (like when she seems to create drama for the show), and I definitely don’t like her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice, I’ve always admired Melissa. I think she’s smart, a hard worker, and really down-to-earth, plus she’s beautiful – and yes, that matters, even if it’s superficial. What I’ve always found confusing is how she seemed to let her husband, Joe, dominate their relationship, with her primarily taking on the roles of cook, housekeeper, and mother, and seemingly catering to his needs constantly.
