The drama — real or imagined -- never ends for those Jersey housewives.
Word has spread about The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga allegedly working as a stripper many years ago in Elizabeth, N.J. The source of the story? None other than Gorga's Housewives co-star Teresa Giudice.
According to Us Weekly, Gorga's former employer Larry Guarino confirms Gorga did, in fact, work at the club — but as a bartender, not a stripper.

Over the weekend, Jacqueline Laurita, also of Housewives fame, took to Twitter to express her opinion about the situation. "Teresa told me that 'rumor' about Melissa when she first started the show ... she plotted it. She's not good and yes ... she has stabbed me in the back plenty of times."Several hours later, Laurita tweeted about her one-time best friend, "Teresa is scum!"Apparently, Laurita's had enough — she announced on Friday that she will no longer be a part of the Real Housewives franchise.
