The Real Housewives of New Jersey is continuing to make headlines. The show may be on pause, but the deep freeze between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice could be thawing. In the past, the mere thought of a reconciliation was a non-starter.
However, Teresa made it known that she was ready to make peace with her brother, and Melissa’s husband, Joe Gorga. Of course, if this family could get along during filming, securing their spots on Season 15 of RHONJ would be much easier. After all, their bitter feud led to a scuttled reunion and a divided cast.
Melissa and Joe Gorga have “never had that chance” to reconcile with Teresa Giudice away from RHONJ
While Melissa was initially skeptical about Teresa’s olive branch, it seems that she has embraced the notion of healing the rift between the Gorgas and Giudices. Recently, Melissa was a guest on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, and she discussed making peace with her sister-in-law.
“This was never a line that I was drawing in the sand. The truth is, I’m always going to be Team Family,” Melissa explained. “There’s no way I would ever not want that for Joe.”
She continued, “I would be willing to move on and try things, but to show my children that this is no way to live. This isn’t normal.” Melissa added, “God forbid something ever happens. Everybody needs to be able to speak to one another.”
In addition, Melissa feels that this reconciliation needs to happen off-camera. “We haven’t ever had a chance to have anything private … so I’m going to keep this part private for right now,” the cookie entrepreneur stated. “We’ve never had that chance.” She added that to move forward, this reconnection needs to “be authentic and real.”
I’m glad that Melissa wants this reunion to happen in private, as RHONJ producers reportedly don’t want to film it. Ouch! These developments are certainly interesting, given the timing.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
