Joe Gorga and Joe Giudice recently reunited while the former was in the Bahamas. The Gorga patriarch put up a video of himself and Joe Guidice, which made Teresa’s daughter, Gia Guidice, slam him. Following Gia’s episode online, Melissa Gorga explained what led to their meeting.
Joe Gorga And Joe Giudice Reunited
Melissa Gorga explains what made her husband post his meeting with ex-brother-in-law Joe Guidice.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star spoke out after Gia Giudice slammed Joe Gorga for reuniting with her dad.
Melissa says it’s “sad” anyone would think her husband had an ulterior motive for posting a video with Joe Guidice. The fashion designer explains that they had a run-in recently in the Bahamas amid their ongoing feud.
“He showed up to the hotel we were at, we didn’t go look for Joe Giudice,” Melissa explained during an E! News interview on March 6. “He obviously knew what hotel we were at.”
The reality star also shared that her sister-in-law’s ex “showed up to where we were gambling,” and the encounter was entirely “unexpected.”
Melisa continued, adding that she and her husband were going to a bar when they ran into him. The mother of three said she was happy the two Joes decided to forget their differences and embrace each other.
Melissa also disclosed that none of them talked about the past or Teresa or Luis. However, they discussed Joe Guidice’s career, and both Joes talked about the death of their fathers. “They haven’t seen each other in eight years,” the Bravo star concluded.
As for any backlash Joe Gorga got from posting the cordial encounter to his Instagram feed, Melissa stated, “Joe’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.”
Melissa Wants The Family Feud To End
While the Gorgas have reconciled with their former brother-in-law, the opposite holds concerning their relationship with Teresa. The relationship between the two families remains strained since Melissa and Joe skipped her August 2022 wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
E! News also asked Melissa if she thinks relations between their families would be better if she didn’t join RHONJ. However, Melissa replied in the negative.
The author explained that the difference if any, would have been insignificant. She shared that a lot was already going on before Teresa joined the Housewives franchise. She explained that the first few years of her marriage to Joe were rough, and that was before RHONJ’s existence.
“I always saw the tension between brother and sister and even her ex-husband way before The Real Housewives. I kind of entered the family and it was this way,” she continued.
Now, Melissa just wants to end their bitter feuding. “It’s to the point now where it just feels toxic,” the reality star added. “I wish her luck, I wish her happiness. I don’t think we’re going to go to lunch together, but I do want her to be happy.
Joe Gorga and Joe Giudice’s reconciliation is heartwarming. Hopefully, the same will happen between Teresa Guidice and her brother’s family soon.
