NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Melissa Gorga was partying with her husband Joe Gorga and her Bravo co-stars ahead of the Christmas holidays.
The reality star shared a series of photos from the star-studded party. In the first photo of the slide, Melissa and Joe posed with Margaret Josephs, Joseph Benigno, Rachel Fuda, John Fuda, Frank Catania, and Brittany Ann.
Melissa and Joe's close friends, Dawn Rotio, Christopher Rotio, and Felicia Anne also attended the holiday party. The reality star also shared an adorable photo with her husband in the carousel post.
Alongside the photos, Melissa simply wrote, "Christmas in Jersey. Keep the parties going until it’s Jesus's birthday." However, the reality star's latest photo received backlash as the Instagram users accused her and other 'RHONJ' stars of using Ozempic.
A social media user commented, "Oh wow it’s an ozempic poster!!!!" Another person added, "Oh oh oh ozempic!"
Another critic noted, "Is this an ad for ozempic? What happened to Rachel.?" Another commenter joked, "Plastic pals."
An Instagram user further wrote, "All I see is Botox and plastic surgery," while another called the co-stars "Ozempic crew."
Another person asked, "Am I the only one not using ozempic?" while one added, "Ozempic party until next year!!" "Ozempic plastic surgery ad," one person also wrote.
What cosmetic procedures has Melissa Gorga had?
Melissa Gorga admitted to having nose jobs and lip fillers. She mostly prefers to keep her cosmetic procedures private but in 2016, the reality star admitted to getting a nose job and opened up about her decision to go under the knife privately.
Melissa admitted to Bravo's blog The Daily Dish, "Let's be honest, it’s the worst-kept secret that I've had a nose job, but it’s my secret to tell, not hers."
She added at the time, "Some people like to say, 'Hey, I injected this, tummy tucked this,' and that's fine, too. It’s something that’s personal to me. It’s one of the very few things that is personal in my life at this point."
Meanwhile, Melissa revealed in August 2019 that she had previously had her lips done in an interview with OK! Magazine. Melissa has also revealed that she got her "boobies" done and revealed her doctor in an Instagram post.

Melissa and Joe Gorga sued for $1.4 million over 'permanent injuries'
Melissa and Joe Gorga recently got into legal trouble. The 'RHONJ' couple was sued for $1.4 million by a woman named Blanca Hernandez over allegations of their property causing "permanent injuries", as reported by Radar Online.
Blanca claimed that she was on a Gorga Enterprises property when she became "severely" incapacitated in 2021 at 10 Cortland Street in New Jersey. In 2022, Blanca filed a lawsuit that alleged that the place wasn't safely maintained, which led to the wounds.
The legal documents obtained by the outlet revealed, "Diverse injuries, great pain, and suffering … has incurred and [Blanca] will continue in the future to incur extensive medical expenses."
The document continued, "[She] suffered physical and emotional injuries of both a temporary and permanent nature, [and] considerable pain and anguish," as well as "loss of wages."
Meanwhile, Melissa and Joe denied the allegations and indicated that the damages were created by carelessness from "persons not a party to this action and [therefore] this/these defendant (s) is/are not liable."
However, Blanca now claimed that Gorga Enterprise never gave an official response to the lawsuit and now she asked the court for a default judgment of $1.4 million.
