The Real Housewives of New Jersey series has many long-established feuds. Yet the saddest one involves a family that could have been great. Unfortunately, once messy egos, pride, resentment, and leaked rumors entered their chats, this family fell apart faster than most. On this, Teresa Giudice can finally own up to what led to her estrangement from her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga. It’s resentment, honey, that made Teresa want to “f*cking blow” her “casket” while saying that’s enough.
Teresa Giudice had 10 years of resentment building up inside her, so she cut off Joe and Melissa Gorga
Crystal Kung Minkoff recently joined Teresa on her podcast, Turning the Tables. After a few niceties sounded, Teresa began shedding some light on her family’s long-standing issues.
And by long-standing, I mean the SAME DAYUM FIGHTS have been happening during Seasons 3 – 14 of RHONJ.
“I don’t speak to my brother anymore and his wife,” Teresa began, asking, “What family member comes on a show behind your back? I kept my mouth shut. There are a lot of things I could’ve said throughout the years,” she noted, referencing how their battles have been “going on [for] over 10 years.”
As an aside, Melissa has always denied this claim. Teresa knew they were joining this series, she states.
But when Joe and Melissa skipped out on her wedding to Luis Ruelas, Teresa decided to cut them out of her life completely.
“They were making all this stuff up, like, ‘Why didn’t you put me in the wedding?’ I didn’t put my sister-in-law [in the wedding]. But I didn’t put her in because I didn’t want to because of everything she has done to me for the past 10 years,” Teresa explained.
But then, Teresa changed her mind. She asked Melissa to join her bridal party. Melissa, however, said no, and Teresa found this response shady as hell.
Melissa was using her nope narrative for a storyline, Teresa assumed, making her see red. “I’m tired of their sh*t. I’m not doing this anymore,” she quipped. After all, she “gave them over 10 years of chances,” and still, they could not play nicely. Allegedly.
Pot. Kettle. Black. Etc. Where RHONJ goes from here remains to be seen.
Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
