Melissa Gorga is one of the stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and spends a lot of time filming the show. Of course, the show has brought a lot of drama to Gorga’s life, but she says that it has also brought a lot of happiness too.

She recently talked about what it’s like to be a reality TV star and said that she actually enjoys having the film crews around. She also said that she will never let reality TV control her life.

“Joe and I always have a blast and love being there. The Bravo family is such a great family to be a part of and the WWHL Clubhouse feels like we are just hanging out in our living room,” Melissa revealed about her visit to the Bravo clubhouse this week.

She also said that she hasn’t let reality TV change her family and that they have all adapted to being a part of the television show and the fame that comes with it. She also thanked her fans for all of their support.

“I wanted to just take a second to say thank you to the people who always support me, Joe, and our family. We appreciate you and we feel the love. We haven’t let this whole ‘Reality TV’ thing take over our lives and we never will. I see your emails, your tweets, and your letters and I have so much gratitude for all of you. We give you our good and our bad and I know you appreciate it. We love you back,” she said after talking to Andy Cohen.

Not everyone agrees that the Gorga family hasn’t changed, including some of the other cast members.

Melissa said that she isn’t bothered by the negative opinions and comments and insists that she is raising her family right.
