Melissa Gorga Calls Out Teresa Giudice’s ‘Sick’ Comments About Late Parents (Exclusive)
Melissa Gorga stopped by Edge at Hudson Yards in NYC to talk “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 14 with “Extra’s” Billy Bush.
She spoke about her and husband Joe Gorga’s rift with his sister Teresa Giudice, saying, “I have already ended that and I think so has she… it’s done.”
Billy pointed out there is “such stubbornness” within the family, and Melisa replied, “I’m a bull, I’m the Aries.”
Bush went on to ask who would win in a fight… Melissa’s husband Joe Gorga or Teresa’s husband Luis Ruelas.
She insisted, “I don't want to even think about that,” but from the sidelines Joe chimed in, “Come on!” insisting he could “drop” him.
Melissa said from the outside people might think, “You guys are a family, get it together,” but confessed, “It is not that easy. She has never been happy for us or our marriage.”
Billy brought up that Teresa’s daughter Milania got into a minor car accident, and Gorga replied, “I’m so happy she’s okay.”

Melissa also called out Teresa’s comments about her and Joe’s late parents, after she said she felt like they give her signs she’s on the right track.
Gorga wasn’t having it. She said, “This is a sick statement that she made,” explaining of the siblings, “What I'm saying is you even want to take that away from [Joe]? Make him feel they're not approving of his actions? It's a control aspect and I don't care what show you got on first. You're not controller of me, my husband or my family. So she can take the drama, you can be the queen of the show, but you're not the queen of me, my life, my house or my family.”
She said this of Teresa, “You can keep the queen of toxicity that's on you. But I don't want to be the queen of toxicity… I'm happy with what I have, living a happy life.”
