A seismic event is quietly spreading among American college students—and this time, the focus is on a name that is considered “clean” in the Bravo family: Antonia Gorga.According to a reliable source at the University of Delaware—where Melissa Gorga’s daughter is currently studying—the school’s administration has launched an urgent internal investigation after receiving anonymous information that a group of students, including Antonia, used a professional ghostwriting service to complete their essays last semester.The source said that this is not a form of “asking a friend to help you with your assignment,” but a professional organization that operates like a real company—with an operating mechanism through PayPal accounts, Venmo, and several other payment platforms under the name of “academic consulting services.”The most notable twist? After tracing the payments, a shocking name appeared in the account where the money was sent: an LLC in the name of a distant relative on the side of Luis Ruelas, Teresa Giudice’s husband and Antonia’s paternal uncle.While Antonia does not currently attend the same school as Gia Giudice (Rutgers vs. Delaware), internal investigators say the same ghostwriting system may have served both groups of students, spanning from New Jersey to Delaware.An anonymous student in the Alpha Phi fraternity—where Antonia is a member—said that “people joke about ghostwriting, but there was a recent internal warning from the school that anyone who uses ‘outsourced services’ will be severely punished.”
Around the same time the leak spread among students, Antonia reportedly deleted a series of posts related to her academic journey on Instagram, including a video about “the pride of writing my admissions essay by hand.”Melissa and Joe Gorga have not yet released a statement, but a source close to the family said Melissa was “shocked and angry to learn her daughter was on the list.” She suspects the leak came from Teresa’s side: “They’re trying to drag Antonia down to distract from Gia’s drama.” Bravo has declined to comment, while the RHONJ production team is divided over whether to explore the scandal on air. “Antonia’s story was once a forbidden zone,” admitted an anonymous editor. “But now it’s no longer sacred.”If Antonia is found to have violated academic regulations, she could face an academic warning, suspension, or even be placed on the intercollegiate system’s list of students suspected of academic dishonesty.Once a daughter who was always praised for being “more mature than the show,” Antonia is now facing a wave of questions about her moral image – and like her cousin, she may soon realize that fame on Bravo does not protect anyone from real-life consequences.
