Joe Gorga Says Melissa Gorga “Took A Beating” When She Joined His Family

All is not well on Real Housewives of New Jersey. The feud between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice has reached an all-time low. Even Dolores Catania has said that “it’s time” for Teresa and her brother, Joe Gorga, to go their separate ways.

Melissa and Joe are still salty about Teresa excluding Melissa from her bridal party. Which Melissa learned about on TV. Ouch.

After a big blow-out fight during the Season 13 finale taping, the Gorgas didn’t attend Teresa and Luis “Louie” Ruelas’ nuptials. After that, Teresa said that she will never reconcile with her brother again. But she still wishes Joe and his wife well. Sure, Jan.

According to Page Six, Joe revealed that joining his family wasn’t a walk in the park for Melissa. “My mother was rough on her, my dad was rough on her,” Joe explained during a live taping of Page Six’s podcast, Virtual Reali-Tea. “And my sister was great!” he quipped.

“She’s a good woman and then she married into an old-school Italian family and she took a beating — she did,” Joe stated of his wife. “And that’s why I respect her and love her because you know what, she’s the best.”

The couple tied the knot in 2004 and share three kids: Antonia Gorga, Gino Gorga, and Joey Gorga.

Melissa recently dissed Teresa as “fake” after a series of text messages between them leaked. AllAboutTRH shared the screenshots.

Melissa wrote in her Instagram Story about the leaked messages. “I see you’re all curious about the text messages! Someone is definitely spiraling And needs to ‘prove’ herself working overtime,” she posted.

She texted Teresa that she wouldn’t be part of her wedding party. Duh. She claims that Teresa didn’t respond for weeks until after the reunion aired. Teresa received some blowback because of the fight between Joe and Teresa at the reunion.

These Jersey ladies have been at odds since the Gorgas joined the show during the third season. The Envy boutique owner stated that Teresa was aware that she was becoming a cast member. Teresa claimed that her family joined the show without telling her. Former RHONJ producer Carlos King confirmed Teresa’s version of events.

In 2011, Melissa responded to Teresa’s allegations that she was a gold digger. “When I hear her call me pretty much a gold digger, it’s like putting a knife in my heart and twisting it, because I know that she knows that’s not true,” the mother of three said.

This family feud has been going on forever. Is Season 13 the straw that broke the camel’s back? Maybe. Melissa isn’t planning on leaving the franchise anytime soon. But since it is the “Teresa Giudice” show, she might not have a choice.
