In recent weeks, the feud between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga has continued to escalate.
In fact, the Garden State hasn’t seen such an upset since Tony Soprano squared off against Phil Leotardo.
The latest battle in this never-ending turf war takes place on this week’s episode The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
As is often the case, trouble started when Teresa brought up some ancient history, possibly while intoxicated.
Teresa accuses Melissa of encouraging Margaret Josephs to spread rumors about Luis Ruelas last year.
“Stop putting it on me! Stop putting it on me! I didn’t do it. You’re tired of putting s–t on me!” screamed Gorga, clearly fed up with being blamed for everything that went wrong in Teresa’s life.
Melissa complained that Teresa continually preached the gospel of “family, family, family” despite alienating her family at every turn.
“One way or another, all roads lead to Melissa. [Giudice] Will never blame myself, ”she said in the confessional statement.
From there, the conversation turned to a purported light conversation at Teresa and Luis’s engagement party.
(Yes, there are few things Teresa loves more than digging up the past in search of something to be mad about.)
“She didn’t sit at my table because she asked to go to another table,” Teresa said by way of explaining why Melissa didn’t sit with her in Manhattan.
When Gorga shoots a surprise Giudice, who originally accused her of lying (which she almost certainly was), Teresa says she “swears[s]that his version is true.
Gorga insisted that she sit at a table with Jennifer Aydin “and some hairdressers”, apparently the ultimate humiliation in Jersey.
“You even came up to me and apologized for not being at your table. You were like, ‘I’m sorry guys, don’t make a big deal out of it,'” Gorga insisted.
“why would I lie?” Teresa asked with a straight face in the confessional section.
“Louis and I went over to my brother and Melissa and also said to them, ‘You should have sat at our table.’”
“We were fighting! You were yelling at your brother [Joe Gorga], calling him basically a piece of s– what do you mean? Melissa shouted, which Giudice denied.
“You were terrible to us in New York! The engagement talk, the marriage talk, if you don’t even want to take it up, that’s cool.
The two often clashed over the wedding arrangements, with Teresa also alleging that Melissa refused to be a bridesmaid.
We’ll probably never know who’s telling the truth here, except that we do know, and it’s definitely Melissa.
