Fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are still recovering from Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga burying the hatchet. Joe’s wife, Melissa Gorga, feuded with Teresa across many seasons of RHONJ. In the end, this family’s feud was so toxic that they refused to film together.
Of course, some skeptics found the timing of this reconciliation, ahead of BravoCon, very convenient. However, Teresa doubled down on the authenticity of this reunion. “My brother, especially, knows I hold grudges,” Teresa recently stated. “So if I let this go, it’s real.” Now, Melissa is sharing her feelings about the family making amends.
Melissa Gorga feels “relief” after Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga’s “dark” feud was squashed
After seeming a bit surprised by Teresa’s olive branch, Melissa indicated her willingness to make peace with Teresa. “I never really wanted this, and I’m always going to be team family always,” the mom of three previously stated.
Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast hosts caught up with Melissa at BravoCon and asked her about the reunion. “We all sat down and it went really well,” Melissa said, adding that she felt “relief” that the “dark” family rift was mended.
“It’s been a long time coming, it’s been dark for too long,” Melissa said. “It’s too much. How am I going to tell my child not to fight with her brother when she’s watching her dad do it, right? We need to show them that this is not how life goes. This is not normal,” she added.
As for a big holiday celebration together? Not so fast! “I don’t know. We’ll see what happens,” Melissa stated. “I could see maybe a dinner of some sort,” she said, adding, “We’re not talking the holidays just yet.”
Meanwhile, RHONJ fans hoping for casting news at BravoCon were out of luck. Apparently, Bravo is still trying to create the perfect cast for Season 15.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
