Teresa Giudice and co-star Melissa Gorga confirm that their feud is still ongoing as their taglines have been released. In the recently released Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 opening credits, it was hinted.
How Did Melissa Gorga And Teresa Giudice Confirm Their Ongoing Feud?
The RHONJ Season 13 opening credit featured a tagline for each RHONJ star. 50-year-old Teresa and 43-year-old Melissa referenced their feud in their own taglines. Teresa was salty in her quote as she wrote that “Blood may be thicker than water, but it’s harder to clean when it spills.” The reality star was referring to the fact that even though Melissa is her sister-in-law, there is still tension between them.
In Melissa’s quote, she referred to her fellow co-star when she said that “You’ll never see how toxic someone is until you breathe fresher air.” The reality star said this toward the beginning of the Bravo series season 13 trailer.
Teresa’s feud with her sister-in-law and her brother, 42-year-old Joe Gorga reached the climax during season 12 of RHONJ. The issue between the trio started when Teresa and Joe served some time in prison for tax fraud. The feud between the family members did not heat up until the TV personality’s wedding in August 2022. During the reality star’s wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas, neither her brother nor his wife attended the wedding. The couple’s absence from the wedding caused a huge tension and rift between the family.
What Caused The Issue Between Giudice And Gorga?
A rumor that Melissa cheated on Joe while she was on a publicity tour aggravated the feud between the family members. The couple believed that the New York Times bestseller cookbooks author was the rumor instigator.
According to an insider who reported to Us Weekly, Teresa already knew about the rumor for over a year. The reality star was doing all she could to reveal it. When the rumor broke out, the businesswoman and Joe immediately pointed accusing fingers at the mother of four.
During the season finale of RHONJ season 13, Teresa and her brother got into an explosive fight that further drifted them apart. Melissa does not feel any guilt about the feud between her and Teresa. On the Betches’ Mention It All podcast in May 2022, the reality star revealed how “okay” she was about the co-stars’ relationship.
In the RHONJ season 13 trailer, Teresa complained about her brother’s wife being the cause of their drift. The co-stars’ feud will continue to season 13 of RHONJ. We do know now that Bravo’s series season 13 will be filled with drama.
