Viewers have had the complicated family dynamics unfold on the Bravo show and things have been so bad that Teresa’s brother and sister-in-law didn’t even attend her wedding.

Dolores Catania recently spoke to E News about the lack of her co-stars' presence at the wedding, saying that Teresa was devastated that they skipped the wedding since he was going to be the only family member to attend.

She added:

"I did say this to Melissa, I just wasn't surprised because I knew they weren't in a good place at the time. It wouldn't have been organic to have her in it because they weren't really getting along from what I had seen."

RHONJ’s upcoming season is set to premiere on Tuesday, February 7, at 9 pm ET on Bravo.

She chimed in about the feud and the complicated family dynamics between the two and said that it was an accumulation of years of things.

She said:

"I think it was just a breaking point. I really do. It’s really hard to say because I wasn’t in that position. I just think that it was a pivotal time for everyone."

She added:

"I know Teresa was very devastated. It was her only family member. She doesn’t have a big family. So I know she wanted her brother and his family there."

The RHONJ star spoke about the statements made by Jen about Melissa’s infidelity and stated that unless she sees it happening, she will not repeat it in front of other people, calling it “unfounded gossip”.

She added that Jen and her are finally sitting down and having a long pending conversation in the upcoming season. Catania likes to talk to people one on one when she has a problem with them instead of making a spectacle of it.
