"No matter what happened between Melissa and Teresa, Melissa's family, the way they treated my parents, you gotta give them respect."

According to Melissa Gorga, Teresa Giudice is "looking for a reason to get mad"

Following Melissa's discussion about how her mother and sister's tweets weren't that bad, she went on to describe what Teresa's close ones have done over the years.

She said:

“Between telling my husband that I would leave him for a richer man, that I was a stripper, meeting my friends behind my back. Everything that went on with Kim D and my girlfriend Jan. If you saw what her hairdressers and all her people because she doesn't have sisters tweeted about me, trust me it's very bad."

In addition, she stated:

"How petty is that to hold, what does that have to do with now? we've had so many years since then together like moments, vacations, birthdays. why are we mad now it's almost like looking for a reason to get mad and to be upset and to make me look bad and make my family look bad.”

In Bravo's March 21 episode, Teresa Giudice explained why she did not invite Melissa's mother and sister to her wedding. She said that they had written so many bad tweets about her, after which she distanced herself from them.

In an extravagant ceremony, Teresa Giudice and Luis "Louie" Ruelas tied the knot on August 7, 2022.
