Melissa Gorga Ends Friendship with Teresa Giudice!
This season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey has been a rough one for the Giudice’s and the Gorga’s, but after the season 12 reunion Teresa let Melissa and Joe know exactly where they stand in her life.
Teresa Giudice has repeatedly accused Melissa of being disloyal over the years, citing her friendships with Giudice’s onscreen enemies, Margaret Josephs and Jackie Goldschneider.
Basically, Teresa is petty and hypocritical about family first with her brother and sister-in-law. Teresa has had no room to speak the way she did to Joe and Melissa. She has pushed and pushed Melissa to her breaking point and now, Mrs. Gorga is speaking out about ending her friendship with Joe’s sister…
CelebnReality247.com reports that Melissa Gorga revealed in a new interview that making a decision to end her friendship with “Real Housewives of New Jersey” castmate and sister-in-law Teresa Giudice came guilt-free.
Gorga, 42, told Dylan Hafer on Monday’s episode of Betches’ “Mention It All” podcast:
I truly feel like I have hit every avenue. I have no guilt.
Melissa Gorga said that she feels “a little free” after she and Giudice, 49, made a pact to stop pretending they like each other during the three-part “RHONJ” Season 12 reunion.
She continued:
It’s OK to say that [Teresa and I] don’t have the best relationship and I don’t feel guilty saying that because I tried really hard and I know that I tried hard — for my in-laws and for [my husband] Joe [Gorga].

[My in-laws] are not here anymore and now … it is sad to see [Joe] not have family.
After Giudice told Melissa, “Honey, we’re not close,” at the reunion, the notorious table-flipper proceeded to call her bother a “bitch boy” and accused him of being “too involved” in the ladies’ drama — causing Joe to vacate the stage in anger.
Tree tried to apologize to her brother on his Instagram, but Joe has not accepted her apology.
Melissa said on “Mention It All” that her final straw with Giudice was watching their interactions play back on Season 1 of “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.”
She recalled:
When I went back and watched ‘Ultimate Girls Trip,’ I was watching some of the scenes they filmed Teresa and I together on the plane and we were in the car, and I remember looking at her and genuinely saying, ‘This is exciting that we get to do this together and this is something fun. We’ll have these memories that we did something fun for when we get older,’
Melissa added:
She kind of just rolled her eyes and looked at me. Between that and watching [this] season [of ‘RHONJ’], I just feel like I tried and I’m good.
The “On Display” podcast host insisted that she wants to have a “good relationship” with Giudice, but felt defeated after realizing that her loyalty to the OG Bravo star was seemingly unreciprocated.
She said:
That was another thing I watched and thought, ‘I feel like I give up.’
