Melissa Gorga Claims She's Not a Gold Digger

Teresa Giudice basically called her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga a low-down gold-digging ho on the last episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Now Melissa is responding publicly, and guess what? She's not happy.

"When I hear her call me pretty much a gold digger, it's like putting a knife in my heart and twisting it, because I know that she knows that's not true," Melissa said in a recent interview. "Joe and I have been married for seven years and have three kids. We went through a time where we couldn't even buy diapers. We had to sell every house we lived in...Did I go anywhere? Would I ever? No. It hurts me that she would even put that out there, to put that in someone's head. And it doesn't even hurt me as bad as it hurts her brother."

Gotta love the melodrama with these people. Everything is like someone putting a knife in their back. I bet when the cameras are off, they all sit down and laugh over pasta and piles of money.
