Melissa Gorga Slams Teresa Giudice For Asking Her Son Gino To Walk in Wedding; Accuses Teresa

RHONJ's Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice

Just when you think the Melissa Gorga Teresa Giudice family drama couldn’t get any more complicated, it does!

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice had some beautiful moments on this week’s episode of RHONJ. However, it all quickly ended when Melissa continued to shoot down every olive branch Teresa extended regarding her wedding.

Turns out Melissa has a huge issue with Teresa asking that her son Gino Gorga, walk in the wedding with Teresa’s youngest daughter, Audriana Giudice. Melissa accuses Teresa of trying to use Gino as a “prop” and wonders why Teresa yet again picked Gino to be in the wedding over her daughter, Antonia Gorga.

“It’s weird to me that it’s Gino and still not Antonia. I mean, it’s, the girl usually picks the girls and she’s jumping into Gino just skipped right over Antonia. And then I thought to myself, two things. Gino’s not gonna be a prop at this point. He’s not gonna be the saving grace to say like, I had someone from your family.”

-Melissa

Teresa says she wanted members of her family a part of the wedding. Since Gino is her godson, Teresa thought it would be the perfect option. She notes that her now-husband Louie Ruelas warned her not to ask Melissa if Gino could participate in the wedding because he knew she’d say no.

“We’re hugging. I’m like, oh my God, this is just a beautiful moment. Then why are you crying? Where are these tears coming from? Like, that’s what I’m saying. I don’t know where her head’s at. Because if you’re crying and you want peace, and you want things to be better, if I’m extending an olive branch, then you need to take it. You know? That’s how you make things better.”

-Teresa

As for the rest of the RHONJ cast, they have differing viewpoints.

Rachel Fuda thinks Teresa realizes she made “mistakes” with her wedding and asking Gino to be in her wedding was an “olive branch.”

On the other hand, Danielle Cabral was hopeful that this could be the moment that changes Melissa and Teresa’s relationship for the better.

“Melissa was very upset and crying, and I was like, ‘Oh, you know, this could be it. This could be the moment.’ Everybody’s kind of like wanting [them to] just gonna hug it out and cry,” Danielle admitted.

Yet, Jackie Goldschneider believes that Teresa asking Gino to participate in the wedding was a calculated move to make Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, look bad.

Jackie explained:

“I think she knew that they were not gonna be into that and she was going to use that. That would’ve made Melissa Gorga and Joe look bad. And they’re smart enough to know that if your kids are in the wedding, but you say no, you don’t wanna be in the wedding, but you’ll let your kids be in the wedding. It makes you look like you’re being vindictive. It’s a little bit using the kids as a pawn.”

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Gino is Teresa’s godson. He very well should have walked in the wedding. Joe and Melissa’s kids are going to hate their parents as they get older.

If he had been asked when it was planned. As a half hearted semi-request afterthought because the heat was on, no way. Did anyone ask him? Ha. Why would he want to be the only one if his dad wasn't in it? It isn't like he was asked to be a 5 year old ring bearer.
Sandy April 27, 2023 - 10:19 pm
My biggest problem with all of this is everytime Tre would apologize, Melissa would accept it but then turn around and talk bad about her. Tre doesn't have to invite Melissa's mom to the wedding, it's her wedding and she can invite whomever she wants. Joe is a drama queen! Melissa needs Tre to stay relevant. Without her, Melissa would have no storyline.
Nurse Lina Tano April 28, 2023 - 3:47 pm
Well said.
September24 April 27, 2023 - 9:35 am
I will LMAO if the rumor is true that the wh*rgas thought they deserved more money to go to Tre's wedding. Were they trying to use their attendance as leverage? Backfired!! This is why they never planned on attending. Money.
Daniel April 27, 2023 - 5:16 am
100% agree with Melissa. The Gorgas can't be called upon only when it suits Teresa to appeal to the optics. Disingenuous
Nurse Lina Tano April 28, 2023 - 3:48 pm
Only in her dreams, you're sure ?. When the phone stops ringing, she calls Teresa. Just like the rat faced weasel she is.
Nurse Lina Tano April 26, 2023 - 11:59 pm
If Tre invites them to take part, it's trouble. If she doesn't, it's trouble. Pick a lane Melissa, you seem to have an issue with anything and everything Tre does. I believe Melissa was going to do everything in her power to ruin the wedding at all costs. She didn't want to be there to give Tre her big day.

It would have been nice for Theresa to have the whole Gorga family in her wedding. Joe could’ve walked her down the aisle, Melissa and Antonia could’ve been bridesmaids, and the boys groomsmen. Melissa’s mother and sisters should’ve been invited. Joe IS the only family she has. My old school Italian opinion.
Nurse Lina Tano April 27, 2023 - 12:05 am
Hard pass. Gorgas are not her family. Having Melissa there was more than fair. The rest are not needed or welcome. It's $300/plate and they always trashed her anytime they could when she does invite them to places. Why invite evil witches and their +4s to your wedding? So they can talk smack among themselves? Better to save that for folks who support her.
Que Sera April 27, 2023 - 3:33 pm
Joe is most certainly her family that she could care less about to the point of hating him, and so be it. Yet co-workers were invited and Chanel from Dubai, who must be one of Luis' close relatives, was invited and so on. Luis negotiated for it to be a special and for it to be filmed so you can bet Bravo picked up some part of the bill since co-workers went and they'll also get paid for it being a special. I agree that Teresa had the right not to include her brother, Melissa and especially any of their family because she doesn't want them in her life and hasn't for a long time. It has been debated to death and is boring. She is lying about it and trying to come across not so vindictive by lying even more. The show should end or her time on it should end because of it.
I'm Not Batman May 2, 2023 - 11:41 am
Nope. Once you get married and start your own family, brothers become relatives. Joe and Melissa have been so evil to Teresa and her children, it’s disgusting. I am praying they are not asked back. They need to get their own show - it will shut them up and we can all choose not to watch.
Que Sera May 2, 2023 - 12:28 pm
You mean not immediate family? Agree. Yes, that has been Luis' plan all along, probably the past 3 years or close to it. Let them have it and at least they'll both be off NJ. Melissa and Joe could stay or go if that happens and it probably won't matter that much.
Que Sera April 27, 2023 - 3:24 pm
Naah, just a normal decent person's opinion! :) Teresa wanted to show everyone she is done with her brother and his family just like she told her 2 cousins on camera that they were cancer and she was cutting them out. That is a heinous person to do that on TV and why?
September24 April 26, 2023 - 5:41 pm
So Ms Marco was fine with not being asked to be in the bridal party. Then she flipped and was offended. She's upset that her daughter wasn't asked to be in the bridal party. She thinks asking Gino to be in the wedding is a power play. Just like OJ talking about the murders this woman is speaking like marbles scattered all over the coffee table. LOL!
Nurse Lina Tano April 27, 2023 - 12:06 am
I know. Just bonkers!
September24 April 26, 2023 - 5:37 pm
Someone throw a shiny penny on the floor so Ms Marco can dive for it and we get a break from all her ridiculousness. LOL!
Nurse Lina Tano April 27, 2023 - 12:06 am
Yep. And she is broke so she will dive for it.

I don’t get Joe and Melissa. They have said no to everything for months because the invitation were just not right or good enough like they get to call the shots and it’s not their wedding! ..they said no to attend the Birthday party invite trip, no to Holiday invites, no by Melissa to stand up in the wedding because it was too late, no by Joe to stand up in the wedding, No by Gino, no to attend to Rehearsal Dinner, no to attend the Brunch the day after, no to attend family dinners, no to attend Milania’s sweet 16 ( I understand there was an important reason but this was a big milestone party and was not reciprocated when Milania was there for Antonia’s special party and that does matter).. at some point you have to say yes to something if you say you are trying to compromise OR just be honest that you are done. You can’t keep crying how you want the families close but then never meet half way or initiate an invite yourself. However, you can keep up the victim act and screaming because it appears to work really well for you most the time…geez
Ginger Snap April 26, 2023 - 3:35 pm
Maybe if Tre stopped the insults that would help - like calling them an obligation.
Nurse Lina Tano April 27, 2023 - 12:01 am
Stop acting like an obligation then. Thank heavens the Gorgas are not in my family. They are so exhausting to deal with.
cammierari April 26, 2023 - 10:40 pm
Exactly right! And did you see how quick Melissa dried her tears and said she didn't want to go down memory lane with Tre? I think she was afraid they would make up and she would lose her victim status/storyline.
Nurse Lina Tano April 27, 2023 - 12:02 am
Yeah, you have a sharp eye! Tre can't bring up the past but Melissa does everything she can to ruin Teresa's big day. What a toad.
Jshappyday April 27, 2023 - 2:54 am
I don’t even understand why Joe and Melissa are even giving an opinion on the wedding party with others about, like Bill, Jennifer, and Delores…it is so none of their business. The jealousy is starting to become apparent that they can not stand to let Teresa and Luis have a happy day in the spotlight.
Nurse Lina Tano April 28, 2023 - 6:20 pm
Yes exactly. They do and did every thing they could to ruin her wedding. She just rose above and kept it moving.
Nurse Lina Tano April 27, 2023 - 12:00 am
Good points They just wanted to make a big fuss. They never wanted to support Teresa. What a bunch of whackos.
cammierari April 26, 2023 - 11:15 am
Rachel Fuda is a real shit starter and is already so far up Marge’s ass it’s hilarious.`So far I can’t stand her or her chinless husband. Tre wasn’t asking if the Gorgas would be IN the wedding, she wanted them AT the wedding. Why does everyone think they are entitled to an opinion about Tre’s wedding invitations? You notice Marge went even tho she can’t stand Louie or Tre and has started rumors about both. Probably couldn’t stand to miss out on any gossip for her arsenal. I feel so bad for Danielle. She did NOTHING to anybody and I’m glad she is sticking up for herself. It looks like the group has realized that certain ladies are trying to freeze her out and I can only imagine how bad she wants to get home and away from that feeling of being “the other.”
Cat Can April 26, 2023 - 10:07 am
The enormous ego that Joe and Melissa have is mind boggling. They are such bullies to continue to demand who is in Teresa’s wedding. They declined for Joe. They declined for Melissa. They declined for Gino. Yet, they cry and say they are the victims!
Jshappyday April 26, 2023 - 11:40 am
It is a 50 year old couples wedding. This is not a first wedding! No one should be telling the couple what to do. Just because it is Teresa people are going, but, but, no ..but..you don’t tell a bride who her bridal party should be in her 50s and she is also allowed to update it. Yes, people can decline of course but no one should be saying oh, have this family member instead. This is not the Gorga wedding. When it’s their daughters wedding, they can do what they want, or Antonia will do exactly what she wants because that is what brides do now of days.Honestly Melissa and Joe are causing so much negativity and drama for her wedding instead of happiness, I would have disinvited them by now even before the supposed blow up “excuse” they use to bow out.
Nurse Lina Tano April 26, 2023 - 11:59 pm
So true!
Que Sera May 2, 2023 - 12:42 pm
Joe declined because Melissa was snubbed and let them know way earlier. The other two were just last minute on camera afterthoughts to take the heat off and actually insults such a short time before the wedding. Before these semi invitations, Joe and Melissa weren't even seated at the appropriate table at the engagement party. Then Teresa tried to lie about it. Too little, too late. She didn't want them there so it was a win win.

Ms. Clare ( Paul’s mom) was a cutie pie. When she playfully called Dolores “ a hussy” that was the best part of last night’s episode. I’m exhausted commenting on the Tre vs. Meho drama. Both women are easily triggered by the other and everything and anything spoken leads to another awkward conversation. Seeing Danielle get so emotionally raw thinking about her strained relationship with her brother broke my heart. I hope he has watched NJ to see how broken hearted his sister is over the painful demise of their relationship and that they have started to repair their bond.
September24 April 26, 2023 - 5:35 pm
I giggled when Dull explained to Ms. Clare that a "puttana" is the same as "hussy" LOL!
Que Sera April 27, 2023 - 3:19 pm
If so, she wouldn't have offered up that she had a brother early on the show and wasn't speaking to him for a storyline. Nobody asked her if she had a sibling. Certainly nobody asked her if she was in a fight with him. She talks about him on TV about something that certainly isn't positive. She hints it was his fault. She even stated there won't be a reconciliation so that says she is done with him. She is a hypocrite to try to garner sympathy about something that she takes absolutely no blame for and shouldn't have voluntarily brought up. There has been no start to repair that bond! Just the opposite. She is ending it by her actions and her obnoxious mouth on television.
