Why Melissa Gorga Was “Justified” in Skipping Teresa Giudice’s Wedding

Margaret Josephs is weighing in on Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga‘s bitter family feud.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars have been at odds since Melissa and husband Joe Gorga skipped Teresa’s August 2022 wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas. But as Margaret sees it, the Gorgas had a perfectly understandable reason for forgoing the nuptials.

“I know what happened at the season finale and I think it’s very unfortunate,” Margaret exclusively told E! News of their season 13 falling out. “I know why Melissa and Joe were very upset and I think it was devastating. It’s very sad when this happens with families and I think Melissa and Joe are justified, truthfully, for not going to the wedding.”

“I think everybody’s going to see why,” the Bravo star added. “I think it makes sense and it’s sad.”

While Margaret wouldn’t spoil the exact reason for the Giudice-Gorga fight, she did say she thinks what Teresa brought up on camera this season was “very hurtful” to Joe and Melissa.

As the RHONJ trailer teased, co-star Jennifer Aydin brings up a cheating accusation about Melissa on an upcoming episode.
