View this post on Instagram Instagram PostTonight's episode of RHONJ began with the cast members navigating their personal and family dynamics while addressing their concerns about the same. The Giudice and Gorga families have been at odds for quite a few years and this week's episode also documented a significant amount of friction between them.The official synopsis of the episode, titled Housewarming History Lesson, reads:"After the Guys' Night blowout, the divide between Teresa, Joe and Melissa is at a standstill; Frankie hits Dolores with hard questions about their shifting family dynamic; Rachel and Jen Fessler spill the tea on Jennifer Aydin."The RHONJ cast members attended Teresa and Luis' housewarming party. The couple then got up on the table to give a speech, where Luis thanked everyone for attending the event. Teresa then expressed that the people present were their "chosen family." This left her sister-in-law Melissa extremely disturbed because Joe wasn't present, and she felt it was inappropriate for the couple to use the term when Teresa's brother wasn't there.Melissa's Old Nose@MelissasOldNoseTHEM LOOKS READ HER FOR FILTH #RHONJ40523THEM LOOKS READ HER FOR FILTH #RHONJ https://t.co/fRwQadwXD8During the housewarming party, Melissa checked in on Teresa's daughters and explained how her kids and Joe were busy with work, because of which they couldn't be present at the event.

I wouldn't wish this on anybody."Melissa then expressed to her fellow cast members that she was upset that Joe wasn't here as this was his only family.Fans slam Melissa for her comments on RHONJFans took to social media to express their disappointment with Melissa's statement.

She clearly does not support them. #RHONJ3The first time Melissa sees these kids in 6 months is in front of a camera, which is the only time she saw them when their mother was in jail.
