As we eagerly wait for the premiere of the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 11 reunion, the housewives are already giving us a sneak peek of the explosive drama that awaits us. Melissa Gorga and Jennifer Aydin have never been on great terms, however, the housewives surprised everybody by deciding to bury their hatchet on the show. But looks like the truce was very short-lived, as both the housewives had their claws out on Instagram.

Ahead of the reunion's airing, Melissa responded to it by posting a series of photos from the reunion with all her fellow cast members and the show's executive producer Andy Cohen, leaving out pictures of Jen. Melissa wanted to make sure that her followers noticed it, so she mentioned not sharing any pictures of Jen in her caption alongside accusing her of using her family members for the storyline, including throwing her mother under the bus for the show.

Melissa wrote, "Tonight! #RHONJ Reunion! I’ve been reading all your comments and I know how much you loved this season! Believe me we are on them for it being such a short one! We hear you🗣 notice I posted everyone except for one person who I feel is truly happy when family and friends are divided. Probably because she would throw her own mother under the bus for TV. Or if it would make Teresa happy."  She added, "I’ve been on the show a long time and I know fake and conniving when I see it. When you don’t come for someone at all, and they are constantly trying to put you down and trying to cause riffs in your relationships, that’s a huge red flag 🚩 ENVY BABY! They might want to try to be the fun tipsy one like you, but they fail and just look sloppy💅🏼 Lots of skeletons in the closet over there. I’m nice until I’m not. Pay attention everyone- you will see it. I love you all. thank you for your support always❤️." 

Jennifer retaliated with her since-deleted Instagram post featuring a screenshot of a news story about her co-star selling fake Chanel bags in her boutique. Jen captioned the picture as, "ICYMI Fake is as Fake does.."  But that was just the beginning of some intense social media beefing. 



 

Jen retaliated by making another post accusing Melissa of not only fake storylines, but coming onto the show just due to her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice. Jen shared, "Take a good look at what unbothered looks like. I’m on this show because of me- not because my sister-n-law or A more entertaining husband. My husband is a class act who respects women and would never stoop low for the cameras. I guess people envy what they don’t have - I share real and authentic stories, not fake, made up ones. And I see that some people are threatened by that.You can take your “sloppy” comments and run with it all you want-hold on to it for dear life- ya got nothing else. Your group is infested with a snake that talks behind all your backs and you’re just Salty...And Boring to Boot! So careful with all that reach, you’re gonna pull a muscle😘 #Rhonj #reunion #Tonight! #IRetaliate."



 

Jen concluded her attacks against Melissa by posting a final picture with text saying, "Ok- That was a low blow. I'm done now and I want to enjoy watching reunion with everyone else." The teasers for the upcoming reunion feature Jen accusing Margaret Josephs of spreading rumors about Evan Goldschneider cheating on his wife, and declaring that Melissa's husband Joe Gorga doesn't pay money to the people he owes money to. We can't wait to see how this drama pans out, but it might be safe to say that Melissa and Jen definitely secured their spot for next season with their social media showdown.



 

'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 11 reunion airs on Wednesday 9/8c only on Bravo.
