Mama mia! All the drama came to a breaking point in the Season 4 finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Breaking Celebrity News has the play-by-play, or more appropriately, the blow-by-blow.

The man claiming Melissa Gorga used to dance for him at Lookers Gentlemen's Club revealed that it was Teresa Giudice and Kim D who helped him set up the embarrassing meeting at the Posche fashion show.

Angelo Vrohidis bragged that Teresa knew about Melissa's stripper past and that he appeared on the hit Bravo show because "Kim and Teresa want to blow the whistle on her."

"They had me do this thing, ya know...'Melissa! Wow, I almost didn't recognize you. You look fabulous!'" he said.

During the encounter at the fashion show Melissa claimed she couldn't remember where she knew Angelo from, so Teresa cornered her in the bathroom wanting to know the truth -- even though Angelo claims she was in on it.

"He goes that you used to work for him at a gentlemen's club, and you used to dance for him," Teresa said.

"I did nothing wrong. I'm not ashamed of it," Melissa said, admitting she bartended for Angelo for a week. "Technically it's not a strip club, it's a bikini bar."

Upset, Melissa called her husband Joe Gorga to let him know what was happening.

Joe showed up ready to fight Angelo, who had mysteriously disappeared. But Melissa had enough, and let Teresa know that she was on to her.
