'RHONJ' Season 13: Joe Gorga calls Teresa Guidice 'matriarch of our family' amid fight with siblings
NEW JERSEY: Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga's feud on 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' is heating up. An early look at the upcoming episode shows the couples at odds, as viewers continue to see what led up to their catastrophic fallout last summer, which resulted in Joe and Melissa Gorga missing Teresa's August 2022 wedding to Luis Ruelas.
On Monday, March 27, 'RHONJ' Season 13 released its mid-season teaser, and it was as dramatic as it could be. The sneak peek showed fans what they can anticipate from the season, which included a lot of drama, disputes, and confrontations. The women are bringing it, and the newcomers are quickly becoming audience favourites. The women' plots for the season were furthered in the RHONJ mid-Season 13 trailer. Family problems, shattered alliances, hearsay, gossip and controversies have all been prominent themes in the trailer, and all of this is anticipated to intensify in the coming weeks.

'You're so mean'
"You’re happy right?" Joe asks Teresa, in the sneak peek from the March 28 episode. "Yes," she says. "Why are you so like, like, you’re so mean. Like, ‘F**k you,’ now?" Joe asks perplexed.
Teresa, after insisting "that's not true," tells Joe she doesn't think he has been happy "for a long time," as he claims. "If you were happy, you would want to be a beautiful family," she says, causing Melissa to respond. "We didn’t keep you out of the family. You kept us out of the family. This is your blood, and [Jennifer Aydin] made fun of him, and you chimed in. You chimed in. Like, what are you talking about?" she questioned, referring to Teresa and Jennifer Aydin's season 12 reunion accord that Joe is a "b-tch boy." "You're embarrassing," Joe continues.
However, Luis does not dispute with his wife's claims. "She called you ‘b***h boy’ but Joe, you’re playing it real well," he says.
"Ah, shut up," Joe claps back, adding, "I met you [and] in months, and you f-cked me. Shut the f-ck up." Joe and Melissa have had enough and get up to depart. "We’re so unhappy we’re gonna go get therapy," Melissa sarcastically proclaims. "Go get therapy. You should. Because then maybe we could be a happy family," Teresa responds.
Joe then informs his sister, presumably in reference to their late parents, "We became the biggest disappointment in life." "You could change that! You could change that!" she responds. Joe, however, is unsatisfied and responds, "Thank you honey, the matriarch of our family."
Jennifer Aydin says Melissa Gorga is a 'wolf in sheep’s clothing'
Jennifer Aydin chimed in on Teresa and Joe's family turmoil in a cast confessional in the sneak peek, saying Melissa is a "wolf in sheep's clothing." "This is the problem with Joe and Melissa. It’s like, any opportunity they have to try and make Teresa look bad, they almost double-down on it," she said, adding, "And Melissa puts on a sweet, pretty little face and gets away with it. But you know what they say: Beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing."
Meanwhile, Jackie Goldschneider can be seen conversing with Dolores Catania and Jennifer Fessler. "Teresa likes to act like she’s a changed person. But like my therapist told me, ‘If you pretend it doesn’t exist, you never move forward,'" she said.
