'RHONJ' Melissa Gorga Legal Issues - Is She Following In Sister-In-Law Teresa Giudice's Footsteps?

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice’s prison sentence has not only affected her immediate family but also her extended one. Brother and sister–in-law Melissa and Joe Gorga have reportedly been feeling the crackdown now that their famous sister is in prison for a 15-month sentence. Giudice’s RHONJ co-stars feel that they could possibly be the next ones to face a government investigation so they are reportedly keeping their finances in check.

According to Radar Online, Teresa’s brother and his wife have been watching their spending lately, as they feel that they are next to be targeted.

“The Gorgas are in the same business as the Giudices. So that’s really hitting close to home,” an insider explained to the site. “There’s a fear: could the government come after them? Could the government be looking at them now and start digging into their books? That’s a scary thought.”

However, despite the concern, it seems like the Gorga’s aren’t worried about anything, as they reportedly have nothing to hide. While that may be true, the Gorga’s have allegedly had an attitude adjustment because of Teresa’s hardships.

“Teresa’s fate hit Melissa very hard, and it’s a real eye opener,” an insider explained. “It put things in perspective that material things are not as important. It really knocked her into reality a little bit more.”

According to The Inquistr, the couple has been super supportive of Teresa and Joe during their legal issues, however the site is reporting that they don’t know if the Gorga’s will visit Giudice while she is behind bars.
