“Jackie Robinson is Melissa’s former business partner at Envy. She says Melissa lied about owning Envy, and lied about stealing her clothes that were actually Jackie’s,” tweeted another woman. explained.
“We paid everything. I DIDN’T STEAL ANYTHING MYSELF. When I moved everything out and if he had [one] cent red money in the store, he would have called the police… They are one block away from the Montclair store! Come on! She uses cc stories for all her shoes, babysitting, and more. And best of all, they don’t agree to post [two times] every week… Now if it’s his shop and he’s making money… He’ll send it every 10 weeks [times] weekly! But he’s a little lazy, especially if it’s not all about him! Jackie has written in a private message on Instagram.
“Melissa Jackie’s ex business partner deserves some justice after she was lied about on national television,” read the second message, which included an additional DM from Jackie.
“Is it too expensive to open a clothing store especially after Covid? They don’t want to pay sales commissions or anyone [seven] dollars to work there. [You] ask for anything [you] pay,” wrote Jackie.
“He’s so twisted,” she added in another comment. “I’m still sad [and shocked] about how fake these two really are. They are bad. The Bravo show is causing people to get sick and stuff. These two people just smell like roses.”
And after the message is shared, the stylist Suzanne Daly talking about her experience with Melissa’s store.
“Of course… And [why] never showed it [Melissa at] shop ‘work’ / buy for her shop?” she amazed. “It doesn’t make sense to see how hard it is to have a shop… I still get stuff [with] tags from Envy … take a client there … Big mistake because of many fake merchandise … Someone add [with] this store.”
Then, after the woman who shared the leaked DM asked what all “[overpriced],” continued Suzanne.
“I’m a stylist so I try to support small boutiques but this is an epic fail… My clients expect luxury not shirts [with] CC is fake, so I look bad,” he said. “And I bring some ‘celebs’ to the store because most of the customers are nice [laugh at] buy t-shirts/jeans.. fake.”
“Thanks for the tea! How embarrassing for him. Her fake Chanel bag,” the woman replied.
And after denying having seen a fake Chanel bag during her time at Envy, Suzanne confirmed another fake item was on display, pun intended.
“They have a ton of T-shirts from Chanel, Gucci, etc… It’s like randomly buying clothes… not in season… bad clothes that look super cheap… Just not for my clients,” Suzanne noted Melissa . “She came in too, but pretended not to know that she was going to meet Tre later.”
As RHONJ Fans may recall, Melissa admitted to being caught selling fake Chanel items in 2018.
