Melissa-Teresa feud explained
Teresa Giudice’s relationship with her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga has taken a turn for the worse since Season 13 of RHONJ ended last year. Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice made it very clear in their Season 13 catchphrase that their feud is far from over. The rivalry, which erupted primarily due to Joe and Melissa’s choice to call off Teresa’s August 2022 wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas, was hinted at in the show’s season 13 teaser, which also featured several altercations between the contained relatives – some of which were violent.
The reasons behind the family conflict between Giudice and Gorga, like why Joe and Melissa chose not to attend the wedding and Teresa saying Joe was “not my brother,” will reveal if the celebs want to reconcile in the next season. Melissa Gorga said on an episode of her podcast Melissa Gorga On Display:
“I will tell all my listeners: Something clearly happened at the end of The Real Housewives of New Jersey taping. I can’t give those details right now. I am not allowed to discuss what we shot.”
Melissa Gorga was introduced to RHONJ viewers in the third season, despite Teresa being a cast member since season one. Teresa’s brother Joe Gorga called her “trash” during his son’s christening in the Season 3 opening episode, In The Name of the Father, which aired May 16, 2011. As a result of the statement, he got into a confrontation with Teresa’s ex – husband Joe Giudice. Teresa also called Melissa a “money hunter” on the air and even claimed Joe cheated on Melissa in 2012. Melissa had to put an end to the deluge of accusations. She added that had circumstances been different, she would have let Joe stay through their financial lows, which she didn’t.
Joe Giudice and Joe Gorga engaged in a fistfight on Season 7 of RHONJ, which gave the hate a new aspect and earned them each a prison sentence. Teresa was also sentenced to 11 months in prison. Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga decided to put their battle behind them in 2015, but it flared up again in 2018 when Teresa accused Melissa’s husband of not spending enough time with his family.
Joe Gorga said Joe Giudice jailed Teresa during the early part of the Season 11 reunion and is still waiting for a “public apology” from Teresa’s ex-husband. Melissa also said that when taping the season 12 reunion episode of RHONJ, she and Teresa decided to stop acting like friends. Tensions are running high in RHONJ this season. The duo Giudice-Gorga will be featured in their season finale. Will it end this controversial affair once and for all, or will there be more? Watch to find out.
