The drama continues to unfold. Teresa Giudice's wedding to Luis Ruelas was missed by Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga due to cheating allegations. To earn a spot on the show, Margaret Joseph's longtime foe Laura Jensen, 43, shared "a lot of deep dark secrets with Teresa and Jennifer" to stir up the camera during the filming of RHONJ season 13. She claimed Melissa, 43, cheated on Joe, 42, while away on business.
A source reveals that Melissa made out with the man while she was on a press tour in the city. The rumor was something Teresa had known for over a year and was pushing for to be revealed. Finally, the finale came at the perfect time."
According to another source, Teresa, 50, encouraged the leak, having usually enlisted someone to bring up drama, so she played a part. Newcomer Danielle Cabral is alleged to have brought up the allegations, but the insider believes Teresa, 50, encouraged it.
In addition to the Gorgas, nearly the whole cast of RHONJ attended the Celebrity Apprentice alum's August 6 wedding to Ruelas, 42. According to the source, Joe's sister and the couple had a "blowout fight" at the last minute, resulting in the couple not attending the wedding. Others said Melissa and her husband didn't regret skipping out on the cookbook author's big day after the rumor blindsided her.
“There could be a rift between Teresa and Joe following this,” the insider said, adding that the author of Turning the Tables "continues to attack Melissa, and Joe isn't accepting it anymore.”
Melissa and Joe, meanwhile, are determined not to fake their relationship from here on out.” The source claims that the pre-wedding fallout resulted in “both sides paying the price.” When the singer of "On Display" failed to attend Teresa's bachelorette party earlier this month, rumors began circulating about a family feud.
When Teresa's brother revealed he wasn't at the rehearsal dinner one day later, something was wrong between them. On Friday, August 5, he penned a now-deleted Instagram Story snap that read, "Blood doesn't make you family." Neither Melissa nor Joe was present to witness the Standing Strong writer and Ruelas' marriage.
Melissa and Joe discussed the situation during a podcast episode of Melissa's show, "On Display," on Thursday, August 11. The bride has yet to address the rift.
Our attendance at your sister's wedding was not possible. There was something that went down during the filming of The Real Housewives of New Jersey's finale. I will let all my listeners know what happened," she said. The exact details are not something I can share with you today. It's not allowed for me to speak about anything we've filmed."
Even though the "full, entire story" has not yet been heard, the designer admitted that some details have surfaced that are "clearly not from my camp." She also confessed that there has been some "crazy" family drama involved.
She continued, "There was a little aggression from certain people that could have been frightening." "It was a bit frightening at times." As Joe and I said, there were plenty of reasons why it would be strange, not just for Joe and me, but for anyone in the room to look at us and say, “Yes, it would be strange if you guys sat in the pews tomorrow wishing them well on their wedding day.”
