On this week’s episode of RHONJ Recap, the ladies are back in the Garden State after spending some time across the bond in Ireland..

The NJ Housewives are settling back into their daily lives as they prepare for Teresa Giudice‘s upcoming bridal shower.

At Danielle Cabral‘s house, she talks to her mom about what a tough time she had in Ireland. She says several of the ladies were “mean girls 100%.”

As they discuss the drama, Danielle tells her mom about the claims Melissa Gorga cheated on her husband, Joe Gorga. Danielle’s mom thinks Melissa needs to know about the rumor.

Meanwhile, Rachel Fuda continues to look into the legality of adopting her 16-year-old stepson, Jaiden. Rachel explains that she can’t believe she and her husband, John Fuda, have to serve Jaidens mom in order to terminate her parental rights when she hasn’t been involved in his life for years. 

Rachel Fuda Breaks Down Thinking She May Not Be Able to Adopt Her Stepson

Jennifer Aydin is busy helping Teresa’s daughters plan a surprise bridal shower for Teresa. However, her planning frenzy gets interrupted when her husband, Bill Aydin, makes it clear he’s not interested in continuing with couple’s therapy. Jennifer isn’t happy and says that she needs Bill to meet her halfway for their marriage to work and for them to raise happy and productive children.

Next up, Teresa and her four daughters head to try on their bridesmaid dresses for the wedding. The girls look absolutely stunning in their gowns. During the try-on, Joe Giudice calls to check in on the girls. Teresa tells Joe that she prays every day that he can come home to New Jersey one day. Joe wishes Teresa so much happiness and thanks her for raising their girls. Everyone is tearing up. Where are the tissues?!

Melissa and Joe Surprise Daughter Antonia With a Porsche for her 17th Birthday

You can tell that Antonia is totally surprised by the Porsche. She seems so sweet and totally deserving of such a big gift. Of course, Joe can’t help but make a dig at Teresa while celebrating this happy moment. Joe claims he’s focusing on the family that loves him and his own happiness instead of worrying about Teresa. Melissa and Joe go inside to discuss the trip to Ireland. Despite the beautiful moments that Melissa and Teresa’s shared in Ireland, Melissa says she’s over it and will no longer engage with Teresa. However, she will be attending Teresa’s bridal shower over the weekend. Melissa claims she’s trying to keep the peace for Teresa’s wedding, but after the wedding, she is DONE with Teresa.

It’s FINALLY the day of Teresa’s bridal shower, and naturally, Melissa had to make it all about her. Melissa tells the ladies that she feels like she has to “walk on eggshells” at the party. She also is a total grump when Teresa arrives at the bridal shower. Can’t she fake at least the tiniest bit of happiness for her sister-in-law? If not for her but for Teresa’s daughters, who worked hard to throw the event for their mom? 

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Melissa and Joe surprised their daughter Antonia with a Porsche for her birthday. Melissa also revealed that she is done engaging with Teresa after the wedding.

Where is Antonia? Did her mother strategically make sure she had a conflict so she couldn't attend her Aunt's bridal shower....
HousewifeVeteran May 3, 2023 - 3:28 pm
Come on...that was low and unnecessary to talk that way about a 17 year old girl. Shame on you. Have more class then that.

Well, she probably wasn't invited. But a 9 year old was. Even Teresa seemed a little startled to see her there.

Loved Antonia getting her new car. She was so surprised and happy, I love Melissa mother too. , she’s adorable! Love the girls trying on their bridesmaids dress , they looked beautiful. Also Joe calling. , very sweet. Rachel , yes they do have to contact the birth mother. I get Rachel being upset, as she has raised this boy. I hope it works out . The hot mic moment… Opps ??????. All in all , in my opinion/ it was a pretty good episode.

Surprise bridal shower??? Teresa just happens to wear a white wedding-like dress for a brunch with her dorters, sure that's believable.

I haven't seen the episode yet but if Louie made a hot mic moment and had to be reminded that they were filming, this goes to show that Tre doesn't rehearse her scenes. Unlike some of her coworkers. LOL!

It just showed that he said too much according to her with him not thinking the phone call was on camera. So after she fumbled with the phone and he kept talking, instead of finishing the conversation normally, she muttered "....camera...filming .." and he said "oh, sh**". She didn't want it to be known they were excluding joe and melissa from a wedding dinner thing while inviting the other co-workers, even ones she doesn't like! So she broke the 4th wall on purpose so it wouldn't be aired! But it was! That is the LOL!

The Felon's "oh crap" expression was the best moment! I died laughing.
Que Sera May 7, 2023 - 12:23 pm
I loved it after it was caught and after Milania snickered but then griped about Teresa changing the plan and telling him to invite them. Then she didn't know what to say! So she said, "So,.... okay...." and was trying to think of something to talk about.

The reason Bill doesn't want to continue therapy is because he doesn't want to hear he is wrong. Not only is just a man, he is a doctor and all doctors have the god complex. I love Jenn, her reunion dress is beautiful, but she needs to improve herself. Don't throw silverware. And stop indulging your children. Be the parent. Even if Bill refuses to be present in their lives. It's a lot to take on but she will be a better person for it.
Que Sera May 3, 2023 - 3:03 pm
Bill knows it is a waste of time. What she demands isn't much different than what a wife might expect but she went with the existing arrangement for a lot of years and she will never get what she wants. Giving her money to spend and nannies and tutors and housekeepers used to be enough for her. He'll probably just divorce her sooner than planned if she keeps it up.

No comment in the recap on Luis's hot mic moment??? Just like her fans didn't want to talk about Teresa reminding him last season in the mini van that he was on camera and his entire demeanour changed. This clip proves exactly the issue Melissa and Joey have with them since the reunion last season - that all this "fambly" crap from Teresa and "I wanna help fix your family" rubbish from Luis is fake AF for the cameras.

About time the real feelings that Ewwy and The Felon have towards Melissa & Joe was captured while filming. The fakeness is showing! Namaste Liars!

Not surprisingly, this recap failed to discuss such an obvious faux pas on their part because it doesn't fit the authors' ongoing narrative that Melissa and Joe are the fake ones...lol.
