‘RHOM’ Star Kiki Barth Accuses Melissa Gorga of Buying Social Media Followers!
In a surprising and drama-packed crossover between the Real Housewives of Miami and Real Housewives of New Jersey, Kiki Barth boldly took aim at Melissa Gorga, reigniting rumors about the legitimacy of Melissa’s massive social media following and leaving Bravo fans buzzing about the shady accusation.
The drama unfolded during a live Watch What Happens Live session with the cast of RHOM at Bravo Fan Fest. Andy Cohen asked the cast a juicy question: “Name a Bravoleb who you think has paid for followers on social media.”
When it was Kiki’s turn to answer, she initially hesitated, clarifying that no one in the RHOM cast had bought followers. But when Andy pointed out she could name anyone from the Bravo universe, her expression shifted.
“You know,” Kiki said with a knowing look. “That lady – I’ve seen it myself – not Teresa [Giudice], the other one.” The fact that Kiki couldn’t even remember Melissa Gorga’s name added an extra layer of shade to the moment.
“I’ve seen it myself,” she repeated, though she left the details open to interpretation.
Kiki’s comment wasn’t the first time Melissa faced accusations of buying followers. Back in April 2023, Alexia Nepola also weighed in during a game of “Who Has More Followers?” on WWHL.
When the game compared Teresa Giudice’s 2.3 million followers to Melissa’s 2.7 million, Alexia appeared shocked. “Melissa has more followers than Teresa?” she asked incredulously before claiming, “She must have bought them.”
Kiki’s shade comes as RHOM continues to thrive, with Season 7 in production and reports promising an “absolute blowaway” season. Fans are eager to see if Kiki, who made a strong impression in Season 6, will get more screen time this year.
