Anyone saying she’s black is a —–. She looks like a typical Southern Italian/Sicilian girl. She looks like she could be Giuliana Rancics sister
Literally all of her features are normal for Italians. “But but her natural hair is curly” oh my god I didn’t realize having curly hair meant you were black. John C Reilly is actually black you guys his birth name was actually Jayshawn C Reilly
She’s always looked “exotic” or not entirely European, especially when she was younger. Even her children look “off”. Odd because neither of parents look that dark.
Either she’s adopted, one of her parents is lying or genes are random and she just ended up looking like that. Though I’ve never heard of any rumours that her biological father was some type of Cuban.

I personally know several people you dont need DNA tests to discover their fathers are not the biological ones.
It’s very possible that her supposed biological father isn’t hers. I wonder if she’ll ever take a DNA test in the future and publicly post the results.
lol, whatever helps you sleep at night.
I’d like to sleep with her, if Mr. Gorga doesn’t mind.
You’re such an @sshole. lol
I like exotic women.
Is there something wrong with that?
Is her birthplace unknown because she was adopted?
No, she was born in Montville, New Jersey to Anthony John Marco and Donna Marco, and grew up in Tom’s River.

She very much looks like a mix of her two parents. Sadly, she lost her father to a car accident when she was only 17 years old. :( Beautiful family; I see where she got her looks from.
I just asked her birthplace.
I know the couple who raised her.
Her birth parents are blacks.

There is no hospital in Montville.
I doubt she was born at home in 1979 in U.S.
Hence her birthplace is fake.
Birth places aren’t always necessarily where you were physically born. It could be where you and your family lived at the time of your birth. Do you really want her to not be Italian so bad that you take the time to look up if her birth town has a hospital or not? It proves nothing.
@Madman Wikipedia even has a category of famous adoptees:

Montville, New Jersey is known as the adoption capital of the world.
It’s also curious, whenever I see any picture of Melissa Gorga of my choice, I always have this same reaction:

It’s the same reaction I have when I see a picture of Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett, Shailene Woodley, Gabrielle Union, etc.
@madman
Yes, I check it. If there’s no hospital in Montville, where was she born?
If you think this woman is Italian, you have mental issues, sorry.
I’ve heard Vladimir Putin’s Mexican grandfather was adopted and brought up in Montville.
According to legend, a bunch of Turkish babies were also once adopted by families in Montville. Today, their memory lives on through the Turkish appearance of their descendants, most of which are American celebrities.
Wasn’t it the Black Air Witch who cursed Montville New Jersey’s early European settlers in 1371, after a bunch of children pelted her house with macaw droppings right before Hallowmass, declaring that henceforth no baby shalt be born on Montville grounds for 610 years?
It looks like Melissa just missed the deadline. More so if she’s lying about her age.
Jokes aside, where was she born?
Did American kids use to be born at home in late 70s? Just asking.
@madman
Birthplace is not a minor detail. It has legal importance.
She has visible African ancestry : https://www.bravotv.com/sites/bravo/files/styles/media-gallery-computer/public/legacy/images/real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-3-before-they-were-housewives-melissa-09.jpg?itok=hGDgr6l_
Big deal.
She looked like someone with East African ancestry from former Italian colonies when she was younger.
Another option in that her biological father may not be the Italian man you find in Google (she does not strike me as a sibling of her sisters anyway). Her mother looks pretty much European. One of her kids looks also very brown, he would be bullied at school in Italy.
She favors a Dominican girl I know.
Which makes sense since ALLEGEDLY her biological father is a mixed cuban. There are puerto rican and cuban women who look more European than Melissa.
