Melissa finally made the cover of Us Weekly, on news stands September 19, 2012 … the headline is about strippergate, which is a year-old story. The whole purpose of the Posche Fashion Show setup was to boost Melissa’s career; it’s her ‘sex tape’. Now she can spend the next six months talking about it on talk shows and trying to get more tabloid covers, all at the expense of her husband’s family (because we all know she doesn’t consider Teresa family… Melissa has her sisters; she doesn’t need or care about Teresa). Funny thing is, in this video of her interview on ‘The Couch’ she’s still denying she was ever a stripper. One of these talk shows needs to use the correct term ‘dancer’ and get her to deny that.
“I’m wondering if the ‘bulldog’ and her crony Jacqueline are going to crucify Melissa next season for being on the cover of US Weekly and bashing one of the other housewives? What a hypocrite.” – 4evanyer, September 19, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
“I just want to say congratulations on your US Weekly cover!!! All your hard work scheming with Danielle, then getting on the show, then turning Teresa’s friends against her for the SAME things that you do are really starting to pay off!! I thought Teresa was crazy for saying you were jealous of her, but this cover cements EVERYTHING. You are out for the same money and fame as her. I don’t think there is anything worse than a jealous hypocrite.” – BrittBrittasco, September 19, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
“Melissa is behind her own setup. Why is this an issue? Because Melissa is making it one.” – CaraLinda, September 19, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
“What about wondering how Jacqueline went running to Melissa telling her that Teresa set her up? I want to know how everyone figured out what happened so quickly after the guy just came up and said a very innocent ‘hi, remember me’? How is that threatening and a set up? Melissa promised Bravo she would take Teresa down. She had to find a reason to rile things up again and blame Teresa for something awful. She knew a story line of her getting along with Teresa wouldn’t cut it. Hello!!!!” – NotAfraidofReality, September 19, 2012, Jacqueline’s Bravo Blog
“It looks like anybody can get on a housewives show these days. I remember when the Real Housewives used to be about rich women in gated communities living luxurious lives. Now we have reformed strippers that are brought on the show to ‘take down’ their family members so they can get a singing gig at Six Flags. I think we have hit rock bottom folks!” – swiss_miss, September 19, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
“The rumor is that the ‘mutual friend’ is a biased producer named Cat Rodriguez (who is no longer with the show). The producer was involved in the set up and texted all the ladies except Teresa when they were at the table about who the guy was and what supposedly was going to happen (if you watch the episode, you’ll notice a lot of the ladies checking their phones at the table). This is why Melissa knew it was coming and (in the final episode) baits Teresa in the bathroom to tell her who the guy was so that they could all then turn around and blame Teresa. Teresa confronts Jacqueline and asks her why she told Melissa that Teresa was setting up Melissa, to which Jacqueline responds ‘my friend was texting me and told me everything that was gonna happen and that you were behind it’. Teresa then says ‘what friend?’ and Jacqueline says she doesn’t want to ‘sell out’ the friend. Since the friend is the producer and Jacqueline didn’t want to be called out by Teresa the next day at the reunion 3 taping (and Bravo certainly didn’t want this information to leak out), she decided not to show up to the reunion, and this is also supposedly why the network did not enforce its contract and make her come since a producer would be implicated in the drama.” – Maggs, September 19, 2012, Fame-Whorgas
I do find it extremely hypocritical that Melissa is on the cover of the magazine. Didn't she say that she would never say anything bad about family in a magazine?

That whole article albeit long was very eye opening. If it's true or even if part of it is true, it really brings a lot of things into perspective of why things happened on the show the way they have. Poor Tereasa.. she's a nut job, but she doesn't deserve to be ganged up on by everyone especially family members.
I've always said I don't like Melissa and knew something wasn't right about her and her whole innocent act. VERY interesting that she and Joe used a surrogate for their kids, no wonder she was soooo skinny with a baby who wasn't even 1 year old yet!
