As the dust was settling between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga, things took a turn for the worse during the Season 10 reunion of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'.

For years the two sisters-in-law have been feuding with each other. Teresa's bone of contention with Melissa has always been that Melissa never stands up for her or in the OG housewife's words isn't "loyal" to her. Melissa always sides with Teresa's "enemies" and never sticks up for Teresa.
 
During the reunion, Jennifer Aydin came for Melissa, and called out her fellow housewife for being too "self-absorbed" and constantly "faking" her storylines.

While Jennifer kept throwing accusations after accusations against Melissa, Teresa just sat quietly smirking and didn't even bother asking Jennifer to stop, let alone defend Melissa.
 
Fans found it ironic that Teresa expected so much loyalty from Melissa, but doesn't return the favor when the need arises. A fan tweeted, "#RHONJ #RHONJReunion At times when Teresa should stand up for Melissa (her family), she's silent...Crickets, but she would expect absolute loyalty from Melissa."

Another fan pointed, "@BravoTV Teresa expects unconditional loyalty from Melissa (+ everyone) but never gives it in return... never defends Melissa and laughs when others (Jennifer) attack her smh #rhonj #RHONJReunion."



 

A fan wondered if this is why Teresa was being so hostile towards Melissa. "Jennifer Aydin could not be more obviously Teresa Guidice's puppet. Teresa was pissed about the hair-pulling reveal, now she's reveling every time Jennifer blasts Melissa. #RHONJ," commented a fan.
 
Several fans felt that Teresa should stop expecting Melissa to have her back when she clearly hasn't got Melissa's back. A fan shared, "I don’t see how @Teresa_Giudice can ever demand loyalty from @melissagorga. @JenniferAydin constantly dogs Melissa and Teresa is silent. #RHONJ."

Another fan echoed similar thoughts: "Once again Teresa backstabbing her sister in law. God forbid Melissa don't have her back tho. Another DB.  #RHONJ."

"Wow, Teresa is so quick to defend Jen but not Melissa, her sister in law. You can't make this up #RHONJReunion #RHONJ," observed a fan.

What did you think of Teresa not defending Melissa? Let us know. You can catch Part 2 of the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 10 reunion on Wednesday, March 11, at 8 pm on Bravo.
