Tamra Judge and Teresa Giudice‘s drama continues. This time Tamra takes issue with Teresa bringing up her niece Antonia Gorga on a recent episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey!
If you remember, during the trip to Ireland, Rachel Fuda asks Teresa if her kids are close to Melissa Gorga‘s kids. Teresa explains that they used to be but notes that her daughter Milania Giudice was really hurt that Antonia missed her Sweet 16 party.
While Teresa said NOTHING bad about Antonia, Melissa accused Teresa of trying to drag their kids into the family drama and told her not to blame anything on Antonia, which Teresa made clear wasn’t her intention at all.
Melissa went on to tell Teresa:
You be that aunt. I’m not gonna be that aunt. Melissa To Teresa Giudice
Now, Melissa’s bestie Tamra Judge is coming to her defense on an episode of her and Teddi Mellencamp‘s Two T’s in a Pod podcast, according to Heavy.
The returning Real Housewives of Orange County star declared that she is now 100% Team Melissa.
“I am team — especially now — Melissa, one thousand percent. One thing that I really like about Joe [Gorga] and Melissa is they do not put their kids in the middle. And they do not say bad things about Teresa to their kids. And it’s nonstop. It’s like, don’t get the kids involved, don’t do it.”
On the other hand, Teddi believes that Teresa mentioned Antonia in the hope that “Melissa [would] look like she doesn’t try hard to make things happen.”
Tamra agreed, adding:
“Whenever Melissa tries to explain herself, Teresa shuts her down, ‘Oh tit for tat, oh you got to bring that up.’ Well, why is it okay for Teresa to bring it up?”
Furthermore, Melissa took issue with Teresa asking her son Gino Gorga to walk in the wedding. The 44-year-old accused Teresa of using Gino as a “prop” and was unhappy that Teresa asked Gino over Antonia.
On the RHONJ After Show, Melissa said:
“He’s not going to be the saving grace to say like ‘I had someone.’ I think she’s starting to realize, like, ‘Wow, this is a little of f–ked up that there’s not one person coming to the wedding that’s my real family.’ It’s weird to me that it’s Gino, still not Antonia. I mean, it’s the girl who usually picks the girls, and she’s jumping to Gino. She skipped right over Antonia.”
RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.
