Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice reveals brother Joe Gorga and wife Melissa didn’t get her wedding gift after skipping ceremony-Rishma Dosani-Entertainment – Metro

Tensions are still at boiling point between Teresa Giudice and her brother, Joe Gorga, after he skipped out on her wedding in August.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey icon tied the knot with Luis Ruelas in the summer, walking down the aisle in a stunning ceremony, surrounded by most of her loved ones.

However, fans were left shocked when it emerged that her sibling and his wife, Melissa Gorga, decided to sit the nuptials out for reasons which may be revealed on the upcoming season.

Things then escalated when Joe took aim at his sister’s new marriage, suggesting that they wouldn’t go the distance.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Monday, the bride suggested that things haven’t been mended between the family.

During a game of Wedding Tells, Andy Cohen asked: ‘Question on everyone’s mind… Melissa and Joe, did they get you a gift?’

Teresa simply replied: ‘No.’

When pressed on whether she was ‘upset’ by the lack of a present, she added: ‘No.’

The trio have had a tumultuous relationship over the years, much of which has been captured for the Bravo series.

Things came to a head when it was revealed that Joe and Melissa chose to sit out her wedding, despite the rest of their castmates joining in the celebrations.

At BravoCon, their rift widened when the budding singer was asked whether her sister-in-law’s marriage would last longer than her husband’s stand-up career.

When she refused to answer, Joe proudly backed himself, replying: ‘I’m going answer the question. My stand-up career, baby!’

Discussing the shocking scenes in a subsequent episode of her podcast, Teresa admitted that she was left ‘hurt’ by his antics.

‘That’s not my brother. I don’t know who he is now, what kind of character he’s trying to play,’ she said.

‘I was hurt by it. Luis was hurt by it. I mean, as everyone saw, he did not come to my wedding. That hurt us, and by what he just did at Bravocon, that’s very mean-spirited, very sad.
