It's Official: Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile Join Real Housewives of New Jersey


Kathy Wakile?!? Gotta give credit to Bravo for keeping that a secret because I certainly had no idea. And since both Melissa and Kathy are related to Teresa (sigh), is that Bravo's way of telling Caroline and Jackie that they better step up their act if they want to stay on TV? Guess we'll have to stay tuned:
'The Real Housewives of New Jersey" has two new cast members.


Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile will join the "RHONJ" roster when the show kicks off its third season May 16 (9 p.m.) on Bravo.


Both Melissa and Kathy are related to "Housewives" stalwart Teresa Guidice -- Melissa is her sister-in-law while Kathy is her first cousin.


According to an interview with Melissa posted on dbkp.com -- which has since been taken down -- Melissa says she was born on the Jersey shore. "I'm a shore girl, Toms River," she says and calls herself a "Benny" (which apparently indicates someone who's from Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark or New York).


Melissa has three kids: Antonia, 5, Gino, 3, and Joey, six months.


Kathy, meanwhile, told dbkp.com that she has a 16-year-old daughter, Victoria and a son, Joey, who's 14.


Kathy's father and Teresa's mother are siblings.

  1. oh boy this rhonj season 3 should be real interesting but i wonder everything they are saying about the rift btw melissa and teresa is true or is this just a hype for people to watch the show i find it hard to believe that these families would put their business on tv if its true it should remain private not for the whole world to see and comment on.....

  2. I agree.. watching the show now.. I am starting not to believe what I see. It is just too much drama to be real. They probably set up a story to follow when the cameras were up.
