MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: Melissa and Joe Gorga rode through a McDonald's drive-through this weekend, bringing their fans along for the adventure. However, several viewers were concerned that the famed 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' duo sounded 'drunk,' which may not be ideal when you're behind the wheel.

The conflict between sisters-in-law Melissa and Teresa Giudice came to a peak during the most recent 'RHONJ' reunion after 13 seasons of all-out fighting. There was shouting and argument, with no end in sight. It's likely that the cast and many viewers were irritated. There have been rumors that Season 14 will necessitate a "big change" for the show. Many people believed Melissa or Teresa would quit the program. When People revealed that both women would be coming back to finish their stories for a second season, fans were shocked. Could Season 14 bring an end to Melissa and Teresa's feud? We've seen them get along in the past. even a reconciliation, who knows? We're crossing our fingers that Bravo can revitalize the actors and bring some humor to the conflict that has been going on.

Melissa and Joe Gorga head over to McDonald's 

It's difficult to move on from an intense encounter like the Season 13 reunion, but Melissa has demonstrated in the days since the reunion that she has a great support network, especially with her husband, Joe.

Melissa posted a video on Instagram on Thursday, July 13 documenting her night out with her husband at a McDonald's drive-through. Joe states he wants dessert around 11 pm in the video. The order is not as easy as you think. The 'RHONJ' star struggles to get the order right. He was confusing the yogurt parfait, with the chocolate fudge sundae. McDonald's used to add peanuts to the hot fudge sundae which further confused Joe who was desperately looking for that combination. Melissa describes how Joe had her drive to McDonald's after they had sushi for dinner. When Melissa asks if he gets this particular dessert regularly, her husband admits that he hasn't eaten it in ten years!

When Joe asks if she wants one, Melissa says she didn't realize she needed to save room for dessert after eating cucumber salad and sushi for dinner. Furthermore, when they do make it to the end to get their order, Joe could be seen crushed upon learning the dessert he was dying to order is now discounted. The video was captioned as, "🤦🏻‍♀️ This guyyy 11:00 pm. MickeyD’s," by Melissa who further tagged the brand alongside #mcdonalds #rhonj.

'Both of you sound and act like you're drunk' 

Reacting to the post, one follower commented, "Melissa LOOKING FOR ATTENTION AS USUAL……YAWN 🥱 ever hear of the word “pretentious “ smh 🤦‍♀️ both you and her lol typical family girls competing smh but it’s for money-your days ! sad." While others felt, "Joe seems like he has a good buzz going on 😂." One user further blasted the duo, "YOU BOTH HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO HIRE A DRIVER!!! BOTH OF YOU SOUND AND ACT LIKE YOU ARE DRUNK MELISSA!!!!" A fourth user added, "YOU SOUND DRUNK MELISSA (hiccup) and DRIVING!!! NO, NO, NO!!!"

One follower further noted, "YOU ARE STUTTERING, MELISSA!!!! DO NOT DRIVE!!!"  Another person chimed in, "I’m truly disappointed in both of you⚰️⚰️⚰️. I’m glad neither of you were involve in a DRUNK DRIVING INCIDENT!!! STOP BEING FUCKEN CHEAP AND HIRE A DRIVER SO YOU WONT KILL ANYONE MELISSA!!!!!"  One user questioned, "Does he not drive? Ever?"
