Why did ‘RHONJ’ star Teresa Giudice end things with her brother Joe Gorga?

The feud between Teresa Giudice and Joe and Melissa Gorga reached a bitter climax during the season 13 reunion finale of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey'.

Amidst the heated exchange, Teresa made a decisive declaration, stating that this would be the last time she ever spoke to her brother and sister-in-law, prompting a shocked reaction from Joe. Throughout the reunion, the trio revisited various points of contention, including Melissa and Joe's absence from Teresa's wedding to Luis "Louie" Ruelas in August 2022 and Teresa spreading rumors about Melissa's fidelity. However, it was a specific accusation made by Joe that caused Teresa to storm off the set.

Joe Gorga alleged that Teresa's daughter, Gia Giudice, had remarked that her uncle could "do better" than Melissa. Teresa reacted strongly to this claim, expressing her outrage and disgust before walking away from the confrontation.

Backstage, Teresa vented her frustrations to her husband, Louie, and producers, adamant that she did not want to reconcile with her brother. She expressed her desire to put an end to the ongoing conflict, declaring that she was done with Joe once and for all.

Joe and Melissa Gorga did not attend Teresa’s wedding with Luis Ruelas after ‘crazy’ family fight

Teresa Giudice's relationship with her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga hit a breaking point following their decision to skip her wedding to Luis Ruelas back in August 2022. The absence of Melissa and Joe at the wedding raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about the state of their relationship with Teresa.

Addressing the drama on a subsequent episode of her podcast "On Display," Melissa acknowledged that they chose not to attend Teresa's wedding due to undisclosed reasons related to a dramatic incident that occurred during the filming of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' finale. While teasing the existence of behind-the-scenes family drama, Melissa refrained from divulging specific details, citing contractual obligations regarding the show's filming.

Melissa explained that given the unresolved tension from the altercation, it felt insincere for them to attend the wedding as if nothing had happened. Their decision to abstain from the event reflected the depth of the rift in their relationship with Teresa.

Melissa Gorga says ‘everyone is happier how it is right now’ after Joe Gorga and Teresa Giudice’s fight

‘RHONJ’ star Melissa Gorga recently provided an update on her relationship with Teresa Giudice and the current state of their family dynamics.

During a conversation with fellow 'Real Housewives' star Denise Richards on Gorga's podcast, "On Display with Melissa Gorga," the topic turned to Giudice. Gorga revealed to Richards that there is minimal communication between her husband Joe, and Teresa Giudice. This revelation follows the Gorgas' decision to officially distance themselves from Giudice by not attending her wedding to Luis Ruelas in August 2022.

In response to Denise Richards' inquiry about whether Joe communicates with his sister, Melissa Gorga candidly replied with a firm "No." She further emphasized her stance when Richards suggested that their relationship might change someday, with Gorga reiterating another "No." Gorga's remarks suggested a definitive acceptance of the current state of affairs regarding their relationship with Teresa Giudice.

"I think it took us a while to get to that point, to realize that this might be what it is and we need to accept it," she said. "I think finally everyone's breathing, we're actually all — including the other side — everyone is happier how it is right now."
