Melissa Gorga’s Life After RHONJ Pause: Podcast, Envy, Sprinkle Cookies, and More…

Melissa Gorga has been an enigma for some time. When she first waltzed onto the Real Housewives of New Jersey during Season 3, viewers thought she would integrate well into the beloved series.

While she did quickly become a fan favorite, it came at the expense of her relationship with Teresa Giudice. But sacrifices sometimes have to be made when a star is being born. Melissa has risen through the ranks and made quite a name for herself thanks to her many business ventures. So, if RHONJ ends for her, she’ll still land on her feet. Let’s take a look. 

Melissa Gorga’s podcast is a great listen

Nowadays, it feels like almost every single Bravoleb has a podcast. Not surprisingly, Melissa is one of them. What I like about Melissa’s On Display series is that she will never let us forget her one-hit wonder. And two, she stays true to who viewers see on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The mother of three talks a lot. She often gets overexcited while interacting with a guest, which can sometimes lead to interrupting. But the platform and themes are solid. Melissa mostly sticks to having guests on from the Bravoverse, which works well with her niche. Most listeners are just tuning in for the tea anyway.     

Melissa Gorga’s Envy stores are thriving

Moving on from the airwaves, I am moving directly to downtown Ridgewood, NJ. As most readers know, I am a loyal customer of Envy. Melissa has set up the perfect fashion boutique, which is a haven for those who love her style. The shop is size-inclusive, which is a huge plus, and the sales associates are always friendly and willing to lend an opinion. Melissa always has the latest styles and recently opened up her third store. And she always looks impeccably dressed and is a great walking advertisement for her shop.  

Melissa Gorga’s sprinkle cookies were a stroke of genius

These are the sprinkle cookies that launched a thousand memes. And finally, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is going to make some money off the drama. Melissa and Tre have been feuding worse than Hatfields and the McCoys over these Christmas cookies. And while it has entertained fans for years, Missy G finally put her money where her mouth was. Fans will recall that Tre shared, “She came to my house Christmas day, and she brought me sprinkle cookies.” Tre continued, “Melissa. No one touched the cookies you brought. I threw them in the garbage! You know what my favorite cookies are? Pignoli cookies. That’s what I said.” 

At the time, the Envy owner stated, “I’m sorry, throwing a pregnant woman’s cookies into the garbage is not funny. And it’s not a dig. It’s just plain stupid.” Now, Melissa is laughing all the way to the bank. For $29.99, fans can choose pink, blue, or rainbow sprinkle cookies. Melissa has even branched out to offer a Sprinkle Coffee Cake. Let’s Sprinkle by MG is no joke, as the business brought in $500,000 in revenue in under three months.
