The drama within the Giudice-Gorga family continues to escalate, keeping The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans on the edge of their seats. This time, the feud was sparked by Teresa Giudice’s controversial remarks about Melissa Gorga, her sister-in-law, with whom she’s had a notoriously rocky relationship.
In a recent interview, Teresa unexpectedly took a dig at Melissa’s newly launched sprinkle cookie brand, subtly implying that the product lacked creativity and appeal. “Who starts a sprinkle cookie company? It’s ridiculous. Just another way to grab attention,” Teresa said with a sharp tone.
The comment quickly went viral, triggering Joe Giudice, Teresa’s ex-husband, to publicly lash out at her. Joe didn’t hold back, accusing Teresa of being a "family betrayer" for failing to support Melissa, who has already been under immense pressure from the family’s longstanding tensions.
“Teresa is always preaching about family unity, but when it comes to supporting Melissa, she’s the first to turn her back. It’s shameful. Let’s not forget that no matter what, Melissa is still her sister-in-law,” Joe stated heatedly.
The feud has since divided fans into two camps. One side supports Melissa, arguing that Teresa has always been “jealous” of her success. Meanwhile, others stand with Teresa, believing that Melissa is using the drama as a publicity stunt to promote her new brand.
But Joe Giudice wasn’t done yet. He added more fuel to the fire by reminding everyone of instances when Teresa allegedly “used” her family to advance her own career. “Take a good look at who’s really been putting their personal interests above the family,” Joe declared.
As of now, Teresa has yet to respond to Joe’s harsh comments, but fans are certain that this drama is far from over. Will this fractured family dynamic ever be repaired, or is this the final straw?
For now, RHONJ viewers will have to wait and see what happens next. One thing’s for sure, though: the Giudice-Gorga drama never fails to deliver!
