Teresa Giudice accused of copying Melissa Gorga as 'RHONJ' star drops Namaste B$tches merch
MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: A whole new range of Namaste B$tches merch is here, and Teresa Giudice couldn't be more excited.
However, the announcement of the launch by 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' star was not met with a warm welcome, as the Bravo housewife was accused of trying to copy her sister-in-law and nemesis, Melissa Gorga.
On October 26, Teresa took to her Instagram to announce the launch of a new line of merch for their podcast, Namaste B$tches.
Teresa uploaded a few snaps of herself and co-host Melissa Pfeister donning the new merch, as she wrote in the caption, "SO EXCITED we have brand NEW Namaste B$tches merch OUT NOW!!"
"This merch is SO comfy and perfect as it’s starting to get colder. I wear it all day everyday and know you will LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! You can get yours now!" she added.
Many 'RHONJ' fans noticed something strange as they took to the comment section to write, "You look like you’re trying to copy Melissa."
Another user chimed in, "You filtered yourself to look just like Melissa!"
One user also noted, "Teresa doesn’t look like Teresa anymore…."
A person commented, "Clothes are as tacky as the face filters."
Followers also wrote, "You look so different, I wonder if your mother would recognize you at this point."
Another person asked, "Photo shop much?"
Some comments also read, "She sure is trying hard to look like Melissa ."
Another user asked, "Why wear something with profanity on it!?!"

'RHONJ' star Melissa Gorga's Envy fall fashion show
Melissa reached a significant professional milestone on October 4. The 'RHONJ' mom, who runs Envy Boutique, staged her seventh annual fashion show, which included Envy Boutique designs.
The entrepreneur said, "What a dream." She was dressed to the nines with a yellow satin jacket, a matching skirt, and towering black shoes.
In December 2015, the fashionista debuted her own store. Melissa plans to build a second Envy facility in Ridgewood, New Jersey, in the spring of 2022.
The new location is double the size of the previous, and it showcases looks from 'RHONJ' as well as Envy merchandise.
Melissa, of course, hosts an annual fashion show that attracts a Bravolebrity-studded audience.
Melissa started the tradition in 2016 when she organized a performance to showcase the store's spring designs.
As she and her daughter, Antonia Gorga walked the runway, the boutique owner kept it all in the family.
Other notable personalities have appeared in the program since then, including Dolores Catania's son, Frankie. This year's production was no less thrilling.
Melissa shared a photo of herself sitting in front of a shimmering, textured step-and-repeat with Envy's logo on her Instagram Stories on October 4.
She looked stunning in her vibrant jacket, which she teamed with a satiny skirt that included cargo-style pockets.
Melissa received encouragement from her 'RHONJ' co-stars as well. Margaret Josephs showed off her evening attire in a charming Instagram photo on the night of the fashion show. It's no surprise that it came from Envy.
The coffee-creamer connoisseur looked lovely in a high-low black dress with a huge flower, emerald-green shoes, and tassel earrings.
