'RHONJ' Melissa Gorga Is Over It! Ends Friendship With Teresa Giudice

It looks like Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga no longer cares what her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice thinks. She has officially “ended” the friendship.

The reality star has spent her entire time on the popular Bravo TV franchise trying to get into the good graces of her very particular sister-in-law. Fans have watched the mom of three plead with the queen of New Jersey (literally getting on her knees) begging Giudice to just be nice to her and her brother Joe Gorga.

Melissa even went as far as to say even if Giudice is not nice to her at least treat her own brother with respect. The 42-year-old appeared on Betches Mention It All podcast where she shared that from this day forth, she is no longer trying to make anything work with Giudice.

“I truly feel like I have hit every avenue,” said Gorga. Boldly sharing that she has absolutely “no guilt” in regards to her decision.  “It’s OK to say that we don’t have the best relationship and I don’t feel guilty saying that, she added.

“I tried really hard and know that I tried hard — for my in-laws and for Joe.” Perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that not only did Giudice stay silent most of this season while her brother was going toe-to-toe with some of the women.

He was called a “b***h boy” by Jennifer Aydin during the season and then again during the reunion. Giudice put the nail in the coffin when she not only agreed that her brother was acting like a “b***h boy”, she then called him the name herself.

The Envy boutique owner shared that a genuine relationship was all she was after with her sister-in-law unfortunately, the two cannot agree on who is wrong and right pertaining to how Gorga and her husband got on the show in the first place.

Guidice says they did it behind her back and Gorga kind of agrees but insists she was following orders from Bravo TV producers. Regardless either one of the women can’t get over it and it has made for delicious TV for the past 10 seasons (Gorga isn’t an OG even though she was on Ultimate Girls Trip, Giudice’s words not ours!)

Gorga also shared with the Mention It All hosts that RHUGT was a big deal because she thought she and Teresa would be able to make lasting memories there.

“When I went back and watched Ultimate Girls Trip, I was watching some of the scenes they filmed Teresa and I together on the plane and we were in the car, and I remember looking at her and genuinely saying, ‘This is exciting that we get to do this together and this is something fun. We’ll have these memories that we did something fun for when we get older.’”

Giudice, however, couldn’t care less she was too busy being love-bombed by her then-boyfriend, now fiancé Luis Ruelas and opening daily love notes from him (Ugh, kind of cute.)Gorga insists Giudice “rolled her eyes” and basically couldn’t be less interested. “Between that and watching this season, I just feel like I tried and I’m good.”

Touching back on Giudice’s behavior at the reunion, Gorga has just realized that they are “not close” not enough for either of them to want to put effort into a real relationship. “Let’s stop faking like we have a relationship [then] because you’ve proved to everyone that we don’t.”

She also made it a point to say that “I don’t want to talk about Teresa or the family, never again if it was up to me.”

That’s interesting but what’s more interesting is seeing how the interactions between Gorga, her husband, Joe, Guidice, and her fiancé Ruelas will be in the upcoming season. It was on and off tense this season mostly due to the drama surrounding Ruelas but since they aren’t “pretending” anymore, the dynamic will be different for sure!
