NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The annual Jingle Ball performance brought an all-star roster to New York's Madison Square Garden on December 8th. Melissa Gorga, who made her name known in the Bravo world, made her Instagram followers wince with her startling blue outfit.
This year's iHeartRadio Jingle Ball presented by Capital One was as happy as ever, with a star-studded lineup bringing all the Christmas excitement to New York City's Madison Square Garden — plus all the gorgeous looks!
Melissa from 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' was mercilessly attacked on Instagram after sharing some nice moments on the red carpet.
Melissa took to Instagram on December 9 to post a slew of photos from the event, which she attended with her husband, Joe Gorga, and two boys, Gino and Joey Gorga.
Despite the absence of their daughter Antonia Gorga, who couldn't attend due to an exam, the Gorgas seem to be as joyful as ever.
The 'RHONJ' star opted to sport an electric blue co-ord set to the event, which surely made her fans and followers question her outfit of choice. Some took to the comment section to write, "Ugh, I really like you, but that blue outfit is icky."
Another user ranted, "Can't you just dress like a normal adult for once and not an attention-seeking insecure person."
One user argued, "Stop dressing like this. It’s not classy at all."
A user asked, "Why do you look like you're ready to go to the gym?"
Another user chimed in, "What the hell are you wearing? Embarrassing for your boys. Disgraceful!"
Others noted, "The gym outfit is just wrong. Keep the coat on!"
Some mentioned, "Realy not that outfit for a night out or was she going to the gym come on dress more like a mom."
"The @_telletubbies are looking for their outfit," quipped another.
'RHONJ' stars Melissa and Joe Gorga accused of overshadowing kids
iHeartRadio posted a video on their Instagram page, tagging Melissa, capturing the Gorgas immersed in holiday festivities on what appeared to be a set resembling the interior of a submarine.
Soon after, Bravo executive Andy Cohen joined them in the celebration.
However, fans took notice of how the Gorga parents shared the screen with their kids. One user noted, "Look how both of them don't even consider sharing the space with their kids 😂."
Another user chimed in, "Tiny people, large egos 🥴."
"It’s giving narcissistic behavior," wrote one user.
A user wrote, "Poor boys have greedy parents."
One user also felt, "These people would do anything to be popular."
Others added, "This is corny as hell 🙄."

Melissa Gorga promises 'RHONJ' Season 14 will be 'better' and 'refreshing'
Melissa believes that the upcoming season of 'RHONJ' will be a breath of fresh air since she has ceased communicating with her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice.
During the 'RHONJ' panel at BravoCon 2023, Melissa discussed the breakdown in communication with Teresa and its potential impact on the upcoming season of the Bravo hit.
The panel, which featured only half of the cast, including Melissa and her husband Joe, was marked by the noticeable absence of some members due to the ongoing family conflict.
"You know what? It's hard," she remarked of cutting Teresa and her husband Luis "Louie" Ruelas out of their life.
"But I've come to a point in my life where, you know, you can try, you can try, you can try, but at some point, you need to protect your peace, and you need to create a boundary, and I think that's what I did and that's what we're doing."
"I think, you know, when something is really toxic, and it doesn't work for you, and it makes you uncomfortable, you don't need to force yourself to be around it," Melissa added.
"It’s okay to let something go. I am protecting my peace. We should all protect our peace. I think that’s a wonderful thing, and everyone should do that."
When asked how their lack of contact will affect season 14, Melissa replied, "It's very different from last season... because there's not a lot of communication, so I think it's different and better."
"I think the fans will feel refreshed as well. I mean, weren’t you sick of it?" she questioned the cheering throng.
"It’s so much to describe right now, but I think everyone knows where we're at. Everyone's reading it. I think it's like I said, we're at a place of peace. I think everyone needs a minute. Everyone needs a break, and there's just a period on it right now."
Melissa Gorga talks about 'boundaries' with Teresa Giudice while filming 'RHONJ'
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 44-year-old discussed her connection with Teresa following their split. She addressed the allegations and indicated that she had no intention of reuniting with her brother and his wife.
Meanwhile, Melissa told the site lately, "I don't think there is a question mark, I think there is a period."
"It's unfortunate," she continued. "There is not a real team happening here, so it's just it is what it is.."
Regarding the upcoming season, the reality star mentioned that filming has been ongoing despite the existing animosity, emphasizing their commitment to honoring their contractual obligations.
"We make it work, right? Somehow we are all professionals, and we are making it happen," she explained, adding, "We have been in the same room together. I don't know who is saying that we haven't. We both have zero desire to communicate, and I think it's better that way. Like, boundaries."
