Melissa Gorga has hit back at her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice after the latter appeared to take credit for her new cookie company, Sprinkle by MG. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Wednesday, the 45-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star responded to a cryptic post Teresa shared on X (formerly Twitter) last December, which read 'You’re welcome.'
Melissa retorted: 'Well, she’s welcome for giving her someone to hate on for the last decade. So, she’s welcome!' Host Andy Cohen replied, 'You’ve both done so much for each other.' The exchange comes after Teresa, 52, seemingly suggested that the Sprinkle brand was her idea.
Earlier this month, Melissa spoke to Us Weekly about her new dessert brand, calling it 'a long time coming.' She referenced a viral moment from season 3 of RHONJ when Teresa discarded a box of sprinkle cookies Melissa had brought to a Christmas Eve gathering. 'Everyone knows sprinkle cookies are my absolute favorite,' she said, adding that fans often give her sprinkle cookies at events.
The Sprinkle by MG cookies are sold in 12-count packs for $29.99 via the brand’s website. For over a decade, the tumultuous relationship between Teresa and Melissa has been a central storyline on RHONJ. During season 14, the pair refused to speak to each other, and in August, Melissa revealed that leaving the show was a possibility due to the severity of their issues.
Speaking on the Two Ts In A Pod podcast, Melissa said she is 'prepared for anything' and noted that she and Teresa are 'two extremely different characters.' She added: 'If Bravo decides to go that route and kind of, like, the darker route, then I need to say that is not a show that I want to be on anyway.'
