Melissa Labels Teresa Fake
Melissa labels Teresa fake after text messages between the two of them leaked. “Guys! I see you’re all curious about the text messages! Someone is definitely spiraling and needs to ‘prove’ herself working overtime,” Melissa wrote on her Instagram Story on Thursday, February 9.
Melissa alleged that she texted Teresa to acknowledge that she wouldn’t be part of her bridal party during the Season 13 premiere. However, the OG Housewife didn’t respond for three weeks, contributing to their falling out.
“BUT THIS ALL PROVES MY POINT EVEN MORE!!!” the fashion designer continued. She alleged that her husband’s sister didn’t reply until after the reunion aired and the audience bashed her.
AllAboutTRH obtained Melissa and Teresa’s text messages, and they confirmed the former’s claim. Teresa finally replied with a photo of two men with Easter eggs painted on their butt cheeks on April 17.
The Bravolebrities discussed unrelated matters before Teresa addressed the RHONJ Season 12 reunion on May 3. This was the same night part one aired. Meanwhile, Melissa shared screenshots of her own texts, which matched the one the news outlet obtained.
“Her reaching out right at the same time we were about to start filming and finally wanting to discuss our relationship and how she can fix it was FAKE!” Melissa continued in her Instagram post.
She also promised fans that her interactions with Teresa will make more sense as the latest season goes on.
Teresa And The Gorgas Have Not Talked Since The Reunion
Teresa also admitted in the leaked text message that their families had fallen out after watching the reunion. She then asked Melissa to get lunch, but the latter refused.
Melissa responded the next day with a lengthy message. She called out her co-star for being “calculated” in trying to “fix the family again for the one-hundredth time” after fans encouraged her to do so.
The reality star mentioned in her text that she had already accepted the dynamics of their relationship. She also explained that the best-selling author “drew the line in the sand” when she excluded her from her bridal party. Not only that, the newlywed announced it publicly before telling her privately.
Teresa responded days later, thanking Melissa for her “heartfelt and genuine” words and apologizing “from the bottom of my heart.”
She asked to talk again, but Melissa declined the offer saying she was “fine” with their relationship staying at a standstill. The two families have since stopped talking, and the Gorgas also skipped Teresa’s wedding in August.
Leaking Melissa and Teresa’s text messages may compound the situation as people might be forced to take sides more openly. Hopefully, the two families will settle their rift or at least maintain an amicable relationship.
