Joe Gorga Says He Wants to Hurt Teresa Giudice Because He’s Hurting Inside; Melissa Gorga’s Book Details “How I Have Sex with My Husband”

Teresa & Joey

“After the conversation with Caroline I thought I could be a bigger man, but it’s not easy. I wanna hurt her [Teresa] because I’m hurting so much inside.” – Joe Gorga, Season 5 Episode 3 (TH)

Well, from what I interpret in the preview for episode 4, Joe Gorga gets his wish and then some by striking the lowest of blows to Teresa, saying to her: “I don’t call my wife a “c*nt”, you understand?” This is when Teresa throws the bottle of water at him and, rightly so, she says: “I’m done with you.” Of course, this was in reference to what Joe Giudice said on the infamous phone call in vineyard, and Joe Gorga knew damn well that would cut deep in Teresa’s heart.

It is clear by viewing social media and reading their blogs, these women are NOT in a better place today. If they would be, their blogs would perhaps refer to something like, “it is hard watching that time in our lives”, “I cannot believe we were at that place”, “thank goodness all is well now”, you know what I mean. No big get together for the Giudice/Gorga families for Father’s Day (which could be the Sr.’s last one, considering his health in the past several months). Melissa speaks of her deceased father, but no mention of her father-in-law in an interview (see below). Because her father told her to “go for it”, her book will take us through her childhood and she will also tell us how her and Joe have sex. Yuck! I see she must have cashed that Bravo paycheck, her extensions are back.

From Melissa’s interview with OK Magazine on June 16, 2013:

This Father’s Day, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga is remembering her late father, Anthony Marco, for making her into the woman she is today.

“The best advice my dad gave me is to ‘go for it,’” she tells me during the Remix Rocks The Rooftop with SK Energy event in NYC. “He always told me ‘don’t be shy, don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Just go for it.’ That’s what I’ve always tried to do.”

Hm, how does that help?

“It’s helped me, especially being in this business and putting myself out there with my music,” she begins. “I’m writing a book [Love Italian Style] and putting it all out there with what I’ve been through from when I was a young child to how I have sex with my husband— with all the little bits and pieces, I’ve learned to put it all out there, and let people enjoy it.”

The Giudices and Gorgas Present a United Front for the Cameras at Teresa’s Milania Hair Care Launch Party (Updated 2/21/2013)

tre 984

RumorFix spoke exclusively to the man in the middle, Joe Gorga, who says, “It’s a dirty situation right now.” He says the women agreed to do another season of RHONJ together, but, “they are not in a good place.” Joe tells us fans will see pictures of Melissa and Teresa posing together, but they are only doing photo ops (like one for a Milania Hair Care event on February 18) for the show. “We’re family,” an emotional Joe tells RumorFix exclusively. “She’s my blood, my sister … My heart is always open for her. When she’s really ready, without any of the bulls**t, I’m waiting for her.” – Joe Gorga Exclusive: Melissa Gorga & Teresa Giudice Did Not Make Up!, February 20, 2013, RumorFix

Teresa Giudice, Joe Giudice, Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga attended the Milania Professional Hair Care Launch Party at Stone House at Stirling Ridge on February 18, 2013 in Warren, New Jersey (Kim D, Penny Drossos, Jennifer Dalton and Priscialla DiStasio also attended; the Wakiles, Manzos and Lauritas did not attend). The Giudices and Gorgas were photographed together with smiles on their faces, although Melissa’s smile looks forced. Click here for more photos.

“#confirmations just heard from @Teresa_Giudice all is good w her joe and Melissa now!! Yay!! #rhonj” – Mr. Housewife ‏@realmrhousewife, February 16, 2013, Twitter

With Melissa’s past coming back to haunt her, the two families are presenting a united front, but there never will be lasting peace in the Gorga family as long as Melissa is a part of it. Just the other day the Marco clan was retweeting the RumorFix article that blamed Teresa for Melissa’s cheating scandal.

“Wendy Williams Goes Off on ‘Jersey Housewives’ – Wait til you hear what she said! READ HERE: RumorFix
http://bit.ly/VVFeTg
” – Retweeted by Melissa Gorga, February 15, 2013

Jersey_Girl posted a comment at Fame-Whorgas on February 20, 2013, describing what happened at the Milania launch party — I talked to my source, and the source confirms what Jersey_Girl said. Here is Jersey_Girl’s comment:

“I was at the event with Penny’s party and can say Penny served the Gorgas with plenty. Joe and Melissa were scared to say a word. No, Mario wasn’t there as a bodyguard — that was said as a Danielle Staub joke. Mario is High School friends with Penny and Johnny and was there with his girlfriend. We all jumped in the limo and went to event from Penny’s house. Actually joked about Mario playing bodyguard.

“There was plenty of action at the event and Penny was in control. Melissa and Joe shit when Penny went up to them. Funny thing was they kept complaining about Johnny’s twitter. It was hilarious.

“Yea, there was a reconciliation, but you’ll never guess with who.

“There were no pictures of Penny with the others because Penny refused to take picturess with any of them except the pictures she took with us, her real friends. They tried to ambush Penny and once she opened her mouth they all backed up because Penny had others at the event ready to jump in at any time. Penny was ready for everyone, and they realized it when they saw the faces behind her ready to jump in. They all looked like deers in headlights and shit the floor. Lol.”

My source says the reconciliation was not between Melissa and Teresa or between the two Joes. Apparently, the producers wanted Melissa and Joe to confront Penny about the phone call she placed to Mike (a friend of Bryan Bowen‘s and Penny’s husband, John), who told Teresa that Melissa cheated on Joe with Bryan for five or six years, starting almost from the beginning of her marriage. But Penny knew a confrontation was planned so she had people there at every table, some (including an old boyfriend and an old girlfriend of Melissa’s) who could confirm what Mike told Teresa during the phone call at the Holiday Posche Fashion Show on December 3, 2012, and this is why Melissa chickened out. The producers told Penny to go up to Melissa and Joe, and when she did, Teresa came in the middle of them and begged Penny to quash it with Melissa. Penny agreed to a reconciliation as long as Melissa and her minions stopped with the threats and outbreaks on Twitter against Penny’s family… and if she reneges on the promise, the game is on!

So my source tells a different story than the source for AllThingsRH, whose insider told her:

Bravo DID film the event! The plan for the evening was that Joe Gorga was going to confront Penny Drossos about the cheating scandal surrounding Bryan “Bulldog” Bowen and his wife, Melissa. Joe and Melissa were also going to attempt to make peace with Teresa at the launch. “When Joe was going to confront Penny, Teresa was going to confirm that Penny was the one that told her about Bulldog and Penny was going to be portrayed as the desperate trouble maker who is trying to do anything to get on TV,” our insider reveals. Our source reveals that when Joe went to approach Penny, he chickened out! “When Joe went up to Penny she was waiting to blast him, because she had her body-builder friend, Mario, there with her to protect her. Instead he asked where her husband Johnny The Greek was,” our source explains, and Penny told Joe that Johnny was working. “So even though Penny was basically ordered by Bravo to be at the event, their plans for the set up failed!” Who was going to set who up this time? “It was a double cross,” our insider explains.

Recently on Twitter, Pete Giudice and some of Teresa’s fans started tweeting with @QueenzofMedia, and defending @franksabean (who Pete and Sheila Giudice follow and tweet). This shift occurred right after Bryan Bowen, provoked by QoM (they posted about his assault charges and his brain tumor surgery and then brought his parents into the mess), tweeted about the alleged rape charge against Joe Gorga when he was in college (apparently there is no record of any charge). Bryan quickly deleted the tweet, and it probably would have gone virtually unnoticed had AllAboutTRH not published a story about it.

Remember, Bryan didn’t sign up for this and isn’t being paid by Bravo to air his dirty laundry (he is a private citizen) — the Gorgas and Giudices signed contracts agreeing to give up their privacy (they are ‘public figures’) in exchange for fame, the perks that come with being a ‘celebrity’, a Bravo paycheck, and the opportunity to market products on the Bravo network and the Bravo website via their blogs (and on their own personal websites).

According to @FauxRealityEnt, RHONJ storylines are now being dictated by Twitter for damage control and spin. Also according to Faux, who supposedly attended the Milania Hair Care launch party, someone named Mario Petris (@MarioPetris) was at the party while Bravo was taping, and the entire night was a discussion about Twitter.

“@JohnnyTheGrk I hope everything went well with @PDKhair at the launch =D.” – Sunshine ‏(@Sunshine1335), February 19, 2013, Twitter

“@Sunshine1335 @PDKhair She came back in one piece. Lol” – John Karagiorgis ‏(@JohnnyTheGrk), February 19, 2013, Twitter

“Great night penny was safe lol @JohnnyTheGrk” – Mario Petris ‏(@MarioPetris), February 19, 2013, Twitter

tre 986

The following are tweets from/to Faux about how Twitter is dictating RHONJ storylines.

Giudices Celebrate News Year’s with the Senior Gorgas; Gorgas Celebrate News Year’s with the Marcos

“Teresa is celebrating the New Year like she always does, with a big family party mainly made up of her husband’s family and her parents. Every year the Giudice family rents out a restaurant and their family and close friends attend,” our source shares. Indeed, Teresa posted many cute family photos on Twitter of her New Year’s.

Sadly all was not well as they welcomed the new year. “Once again, her parents are with her ringing in the new year just like they were with her Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There is no place they would rather be.”

The reason: “They cannot even stand to be near Melissa. Of course they love their son and their grandkids but, there is no love for Melissa.”

Our source reveals that Teresa’s parents continue to see Melissa as the sole reason their family is fractured and to them that is unforgivable. I guess they didn’t inherit the famewhore gene… “They blame her for destroying the family,” our source explains. “It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks or who is right or wrong in their eyes, Melissa is to blame. It breaks their heart.”

It is important to note that Teresa wasn’t with any of her Bravo-contracted friends on New Year’s Eve like she was on Christmas Day (Jennifer Dalton was at her home). Nor were any of the other cast mates together celebrating the event. The Lauritas and Manzos celebrated it together, of course, the Gorgas were with Melissa’s sisters, and the Wakiles were with their children at what looks like a modest gathering. It is highly unlikely that Bravo cameras were at each event.

Below are some other photos of Teresa’s family during the holidays.

Melissa Gorga Celebrated Christmas With Her Family, Not Her Husband’s Family Because She Told Teresa Giudice, “You’re Done With Me and You’re Done With My Children”

Andy sums it all up: “Kim D, it sounds like you knew what was going to go down. Teresa knew something was going to go down involving Melissa” [but she didn't know what]. Teresa goes back to brain-exploding screaming mode, yelling “I NEVER SAID YOU WERE A STRIPPER” so violently that her face turns bright red and her hairline rattles. “You’re done with me and you’re done with my children,” Melissa says, staring directly into Teresa’s eyes. “You’re so contrived. You learned a lot in that strip club,” Teresa spits back. Still, even at the height of her anger, she can’t bring herself to say cruel things to her brother. Through tears she says she loves him and his babies.The Huffington Post, October 15, 2012, Recap of the Season 4 Reunion Special

After the PFS finale on September 27, 2011, in her talking head interview (season 4, episode episode 20: Strip Down Memory Lane) Teresa said her brother sent her a text message stating, “You’re dead to me.” During this on-camera Bravo interview, you can clearly see that Teresa has been dragged down well beyond her breaking point and is telling everyone, even her family, to f— off. “My conscience is clear because I had nothing to do with this setup. So if Melissa wants to ruin this family, let her do it.” Teresa added. “I don’t even care anymore, I just hate him.”

Melissa’s sister Lysa made sure to tweet that Melissa’s children spent Christmas with her and not the Giudices:

Melissa Gorga Loves Her Family, She Just Doesn’t Love Her Husband’s Family; She Did Not Attend Goddaughter Gabrielle Giudice’s Birthday Party

Melissa at the reunion special for season 4 said: “Teresa, look at me. I am done with you, and you’re done with my kids”. You want nothing to do with her, fine. But don’t take away your husband’s kids, who happen to be her nephews and niece, and say that my kids are done with you too. That right there tells me you are nothing but a malicious, vindictive, arrogant, egotistical and envious bitch because she is using her kids as weapons. Then to turn around and tell a magazine that Teresa called Antonia ugly. And when Teresa writes an open letter on her blog (To My Darling, Beautiful Niece) to her new niece and nephews — to turn around and tweet that Teresa wrote a “lying blog” about Antonia. I am not sure how you lie when you are clearly speaking from your heart. When I saw her use her kids as pawns in that vindictive manner, the way she did, I felt for the Joe, I really did. I whole-heartedly felt for the guy. You don’t use your children as pawns. If you use your children in that way, you are a piece of shit. That’s your husband’s family. When Joe said at the reunion, “My children don’t have grandparents because of you,” that is probably something that Melissa has said to Joe.

Melissa Didn’t Spend Time With Her 8-Year Old Goddaughter Gabriella Giudice on Her Birthday But She Did With Her 18-Year-Old Goddaughter from Her Side of the Family (Her Real Family)

Melissa is godmother to Gabriella Giudice (Teresa’s second child), but she didn’t call her on her birthday in October and didn’t show up for her party or even drop off her kids, Gabriella’s cousins, for the festivities.

Photos from Gabriella’s 8th Birthday Party:

“Just a great night with the girls. Growing up fast. #birthday pic.twitter.com/uDoEyZ96″ – Teresa Giudice, October 4, 2012, Twitter

Sheila and Pete Giudice, Gabriella’s godfather, were at the party, along with their children:

When asked by AllAboutTRH on October 10, 2012 if Melissa wished her goddaughter Gabriella a ‘Happy Birthday’, Teresa said:

“No she did not. It was Audriana’s birthday last month and Melissa did call and leave a voicemail wishing her a Happy Birthday, but she did not call Gabriella wishing her a Happy Birthday, which I found odd considering Audriana is really young and won’t understand, but Gabriella knows Melissa is her godmother and is older and does understand. Gabriella actually asked me if her godmother called to wish her a Happy Birthday and I just told Gabriella that Melissa probably did but that I missed the phone call just so Gabriella wouldn’t feel bad, because, like I said, she does understand Melissa is her godmother and she’s at that age where if she knew Melissa didn’t call, it would hurt her, especially since Melissa has called to wish all the others a Happy Birthday.”

However, back in May, Melissa made sure to tweet a happy birthday to her other goddaughter along with a photo of the two of them together at the Jersey shore:

Melissa’s cousin Tara Marco Bogota tweeted this photo from the same day:

And Melissa’s sisters tweeted sentiments to their godchildren too:

Fortunately for Audriana, her godmother is Dina Manzo, who spent Audriana’s birthday with her.

Back in August, Teresa tweeted Melissa to wish Antonia “Happy Birthday”:

“Tell Antonia HAPPY BIRTHDAY from Aunt Teresa& Uncle Joe & from Gia, Gab, Mil, and Aud…We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!”

Melissa, taking her usual passive-aggressive dig at Teresa, responded [she later deleted the tweet]:

“thanks, why don’t you call so she can talk to you, her godfather, and her cousins…”

Melissa’s trouble-making sister Lysa Simpson retweeted this:

Antonia is very blessed to have aunts like @LysaSimpson & @kimpirrella!! How can anyone deny Antonia, Gino, and Joey! It’s Teresa’s loss.
Retweeted by Lysa Simpson

Friend tweeted in Teresa’s defense [which Teresa retweeted], saying she did call Antonia and left a message:

Teresa Giudice Did Not Poison Her Parents’ Minds Against Melissa Gorga; Melissa Only Pretends for the Cameras to be ‘All About Family’ (October 10, 2012)

When asked by AllAboutTRH on October 10, 2012 if Melissa wished her god-daughter Gabriella a ‘Happy Birthday’, Teresa said: “No she did not. It was Audriana’s birthday last month and Melissa did call and leave a voicemail wishing her a Happy Birthday, but she did not call Gabriella wishing her a Happy Birthday, which I found odd considering Audriana is really young and won’t understand, but Gabriella knows Melissa is her godmother and is older and does understand.

“Melissa in her episode 18 Bravo blog tries to insinuate that Teresa is again trying to make her look bad, which is hilarious. She doesn’t need Teresa to do any of it…she is doing fine herself. She should crawl back down that slimey hole she crawled out of two seasons ago, and take her husband and his cousin with her.” – murphy1, September 11, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog

“Melissa proclaims to want a relationship with Teresa and in the same sentence she bashes her. She starts by saying something nice about Teresa, but it’s always followed with a bash session. Really, I wish she would just come out and say ‘I was mad at Teresa because she refused to film with me and my family prior to me signing on!’ and END IT!!!!!!! Her husband is a nightmare of a brother… He never has his sister’s back, good, bad or indifferent. How he sits there and allows people to trash his only sister is beyond me!” – pjbeaudry, September 11, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog

“I’ve been in the car with her when she was on the phone with her mother, poisoning her mother’s mind against her brother and Melissa and Kathy.” – Caroline Manzo, Lying About Teresa Behind Her Back in Her Talking Head Interview, Season 4 Episode 17

September 9th was Giacinto Gorga’s birthay. Melissa and her husband tweeted almost all day about Melissa’s new song, but they didn’t tweet about Teresa and Joe’s ailing father’s birthday. Teresa uploaded a picture of her dad with her husband and four daughters.

Joe’s fractured relationship with his parents is his and his wife’s fault, yet Joe and Melissa refuse to take any responsibility for it. It’s easier to blame Teresa for the family drama… Melissa does it in every one of her Bravo blogs. Here’s an excerpt from her blog for episode 18:

“Knowing what’s to come in the season finale, this episode makes me happy and sad at the same time. When I called a truce with Teresa, I meant it. I truly wanted to put all the past behind us and start with a clean slate. I wanted to forget about all the vindictive things that went on between us and move on for our children and our family. I was putting my two feet forward and giving the relationship my all. I didn’t want to go back to where we were in the past. We made a promise to move forward, and that’s exactly what I did. You will soon see that wasn’t the case for Teresa. The next two episodes are really telling and you will understand why we are all at the place we are today. Stay tuned for a wild ride.” – - Melissa Gorga, August 27, 2012, ‘Time Flies’

In Melissa’s blog for episode 17, she wrote that Teresa is poisoning her in-laws minds against her, but it’s easy to see that she has done that all by herself:

“I will say I got a sick feeling in my stomach when Caroline said she’s been in the car with Teresa and heard Teresa bashing Joe and me to her mother. This is nothing we didn’t know already, but to hear about it is just sad. Joe suffers all the time because of the wall Teresa tries to put up between him and his parents. Nothing hurts him more. When they are upset for no reason at all, my kids don’t get to see their only grandfather. I think I understand why she lied and tried to poison everyone’s minds against us, but why his own parents? It takes a person with a very, very small conscience to do that. – Melissa Gorga, August 27, 2012, ‘Character Assassination’

Joe is just as responsible because not only is he allowing his wife to spread lies about his sister, he is participating in her mission to defame Teresa so she can have her spotlight. He has also mentioned on camera issues with, or about, his parents, disclosing personal information about them to the world… which are probably all lies.

On the WWHL After Show on September 9, 2012, with Teresa Giudice and Perez Hilton, Teresa said the reunion special for season 4, taped on September 7, was emotional, especially since she hadn’t seen her brother in almost a year. She said she couldn’t believe the lies that were coming out of his mouth, and that she couldn’t believe he would bring their father into it. Joey apparently claimed that their father said something, which Teresa found out later from her father was something her never said. AllAboutTRH has an exclusive report on reunion details. Here’s an excerpt about what Joe claimed his father said, which would support Melissa’s lie that Teresa is poisoning her parents against Melissa:

“The reason Joe Gorga hasn’t spoken to Teresa is because of the stripper drama. Joe Gorga revealed at the reunion that Teresa told their father that Melissa was a stripper and that their father went back to Joe Gorga and told him Teresa said that. Teresa denied the fact that she told their father that Melissa was a stripper and even said she wanted to call him in front of everyone to prove she never told him that. She kept telling Joe that she never actually called Melissa a stripper and that she just heard it as a rumor but Joe isn’t buying it. Things got real ugly between them but Teresa got extremely emotional talking to her brother who she had not seen in a year.”

Melissa and Joe are too self-absorbed to throw birthday parties for their children, so it’s not surprising that they failed to acknowledge Joe’s father’s birthday. Melissa and Joe did not throw birthday parties for their children in 2012 (they’ve never thrown a party for their youngest son Joey). Gino’s birthday was September 12th, and here is what Melissa and Joe tweeted about on that day:

“Hanging with the boys @chris_laurita and @GreggyBennett @usweekly” – Joe Gorga, September 12, 2012, Twitter

On Antonia’s birthday in August, Melissa tweeted this:

“What a great day with Antonia! She chose not to have a party this year, she wants us to take her to Great Adventure!! #loveher” – Melissa Gorga, August 12, 2012, Twitter

The Gorgas did not take Antonia to Great Adventure on her birthday, so not only didn’t she have a party, she didn’t go to the amusement park (her parents tweeted photos of themselves partying at their shore house with Melissa’s relatives on Antonia’s birthday)! This is because they never intended to give her a party or a choice on what she would like to do special for her birthday… Melissa had already scheduled an appearance at Great Adventure amusement park for September 14, 2012, and she planned all along to piggyback Antonia’s and Gino’s birthday celebration onto that trip; however, they didn’t end up taking the kids to Six Flags Great Adventure when they went there for Melissa’s ‘performance’ at ‘Gay Night Out’. It’s all about Melissa and Joe Gorga, not their kids. Their kids are used to being ignored.

Back in August, Teresa tweeted a ‘happy birthday’ to Antonia on her birthday, and Melissa tweeted back, basically saying a phone call would be more appreciated; Teresa said that she did call, and others tweeted to say they witnessed her calling and leaving a message, so, once again, Melissa lied to make Teresa look bad.

Audriana’s birthday is September 14th. Neither Joe or Melissa acknowledged her birthday on Twitter. Neither did Jacqueline Laurita tweet a ‘happy birthday’ for Audriana, so Jacqueline is not showing support for Teresa just like she claims Teresa is not showing support for her. Neither did the Wakiles or Rosie Pierri tweet a ‘happy birthday’ to Audriana; however, Rosie did tweet a ‘happy birthday’ to Gino two days earlier:

Melissa Gorga Promises to Serve Up Family Drama (Updated June 10, 2012)

“Nothing wrong with working hard to achieve your dreams unless the only reason you’ve been given the opportunity to do so was because you promised to trash your own family member. I wonder how Caroline would feel if one of HER family members came on to reap some money making opportunities-and trashed the Brownstone, BLK or her children in the process?” [camster555, August 5, 2012, StoopidHousewives.com]

Melissa and Kathy joined the show with the intent to bring drama to Teresa’s life…they were hired for that purpose. They were not hired on their own to showcase their own lives and to interact with other women living similar lifestyles, as were many other housewives on ALL the other shows. They were hired solely based on the fact that they are Teresa’s family and had enough drama going on privately with Teresa, that Bravo obviously thought it would make good TV. Anyone who does not see that is blind…it’s evident in the first episode of season 3. If their intentions were honorable, they would have never started off filming with bad mouthing Teresa and Joe, and Joe Gorga calling his sister garbage. They joined for horrible reasons: to exploit their family problems and destroy their own blood. That makes them pure evil! [Kristina, June 10, 2012, AllAboutTRH.com]

Melissa is a REAL nasty piece of work that Teresa needs to cut out of her life entirely because she means Teresa NO good and is (and always will be) toxic to Teresa. Send them Christmas cards. Show up if they are ever in the hospital. Show up if they are on their deathbeds. Other than those things, Teresa, at this point, owes those fools NOTHING! [Lola Falana, June 10, 2012, AllAboutTRH.com]

Teresa’s bankruptcy was exposed by Danielle at the 1st Posche fashion show when she said Teresa’s house was in foreclosure (Melissa fed Danielle this information, which was a lie). After that episode aired, the wave of articles on the web and the magazines started. Monica Chacon, who was the lawyer representing Joe Giudice’s partner, fed a lot of dirt to Kim G,and she in turn fed it to Danielle and the bloggers. When they were ready to film season 3, Teresa was forced to talk about it because the Bravo producers invited Monica to the 2nd Posche Fashion show and the Gorga’s Christmas party. Remember when Monica introduced herself to Melissa and Kathy as the lawyer suing Teresa. Let’s not forget, the Wakiles and the Gorgas were asked to be on the show if they would address Teresa’s personnel finances. [Lee, May 15, 2012, AllAboutTRH.com]

Melissa Gorga is poised to replace Danielle Staub as the thorn in Giudice’s side. Gorga’s partner-in-crime is Kathy Wakile of Wayne, Giudice’s first cousin. Staub, who had only the most tenuous connection to the rest of the housewives to begin with, was on the outs with them for the entire second season. All the drama, then, revolved around fake reasons to throw them together. This time, there’s blood involved. Giudice and her brother used to be very close, but since he got married, there’s a lot of simmering resentment between the siblings. When asked about Teresa’s statement in her new cookbook that Melissa and Joe spend a lot of time together with Teresa, seeing each other several days a week: “That’s a very false statement. It must have been a typo,” Melissa Gorga tells NJ.com.

The worst part is that for all the hostility caught on camera between brother and sister, there’s even more drama off-screen. “Anything that you’re seeing is not half of it,” new cast member Melissa Gorga tells TVGuide.com.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Interview, Live with Regis and Kelly (July 1, 2011)

The video linked above has been removed from YouTube. The clip was from Regis and Kelly Live (July 1, 2011). In the episode, Regis urged NJ ‘Housewives’ Teresa and Melissa to end their feud for their parents. Here’s what The Huffington Post had to say:

Reeg stepped up Friday and got real with ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ stars Teresa Giudice and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga. They’ve been feuding on the show this season, and Regis zeroed in on how the reality TV drama was affecting their real-life families, particularly Teresa and Joe Giudice’s parents.

“What do your mother and father say about this?” he asked Teresa.

“I don’t think they ever want to be on the show again, because they’re disgusted. Look, my legs are shaking now, just saying that about my parents.”

“You’re picked to be on the show because there could be a conflict. You know that, right?” he asked Melissa, who’s married to Teresa’s brother Joe. “So you’re giving them what they want, but it’s to the disadvantage of your parents,” he continued, as they both nodded silently in agreement.

“I hope she [Teresa] does start caring about family, because the truth is, if she doesn’t, I don’t think her brother is going to give her another chance after this. I think this is the last and final draw, to be honest with you,” Melissa Gorga tells her sister Lysa Simpson during season 3, episode 7.

“I just want Teresa to own up to everything’s she’s done. ‘Yes I’ve done this to you. Yes I’ve done this to your wife.’ Unless she owns up to what’s she done, she’s not going to have a brother for very long,” says Melissa Gorga in her talking head interview during season 3, episode 6.

“We’re going down this crooked road because of the poison his wife’s given him,” says Teresa Giudice in her talking head interview during season 3, episode 6.

“She’s a cold person… I’m not saying she’s a bad person. She just pushed me away and I got away,” Teresa Giudice tells her brother during season 3, episode 6.

“Teresa and I were not speaking before the show. Do you think that would have happened at the Christening if we were a happy family?”, said Melissa Gorga in an exclusive interview with Reality Tea on April 12, 2012, and this alone would explain why Teresa was against her joining the show.

In my opinion, I don’t care who started the family feud or what it’s about. I can never like someone who deliberately and intentionally hurt their family for fame and fortune. It’s not like Teresa painted her brother and Melissa in a bad light to where they had to come onto the show to tell their side of the story. No one knew about their family problems until the Gorgas got on the show to publicly humiliate, bash, and embarrass Teresa. So the fact that ANYONE would support people like the Gorgas, who will throw their family under the bus and hang them out to dry for money, is just absolutely mind-boggling to me.

I could never sell my family out for fame or cookies. I like Kathy, but if its true about her riding Melissa’s coattails and putting the public smack down on Teresa, then maybe I should change my views. These people have no family morals. Selling your family out over fame. Kathy and Melissa were probably just mad Teresa didn’t bring them on the show. [LoveKeena23, May 14 2012 at 12:50:48, IMDb.com]

As I watch, I can’t help but notice that Jacqueline and Caroline used to laugh when Joe or Teresa said anything off color — they cracked you up. Now it’s all negative, every word that comes out of Jacqueline’s mouth. So its not really Teresa that changed, it’s Jacqueline. Ever since the Gorgas came on the scene, it all changed. So what does that tell you? They brought emnity into the mix. There is no more fun and laughter — all gossiping and back stabbing. Enough! [Mia from fla, June 3, 2012, Jacqueline's Bravo Blog]
