Quicker than you can say “allegedly,” Real Housewives of New Jersey newcomer Melissa Gorga — as well as some fellow castmates — are fighting back against a report that Melissa had previously worked as a stripper long before her Housewives days.
The initial report on The Huffington Post claimed that Gorga was set up during an episode of RHONJ, during which her former boss from “the strip club she used to work at” randomly showed up at a fashion show, causing Gorga to hide so as to not expose her past.
Gorga, however, says that the report is wholly inaccurate, saying on her blog:
As everyone knows we are filming season 4 so there is not too much I can confirm, but there is one thing that I would like to clarify…the accusation that I was once a dancer at a strip club. This is 100% NOT TRUE.
I did bartend for a few weeks at a bikini bar while I was in college. My outfit was a tank top, shorts and sneakers. SORRY, no bubbies there.
She goes on to say that people have “a better chance at seeing some nudity on the episode this Sunday.
Her former boss at Lookers, Larry Guarino, backed up Gorga’s claims, telling Us: “She was a bartender for a couple of months years ago, it was such a short time … Lookers was really upscale then too; it wasn’t like she was bartending in some hole in the wall.
