In this week’s episode of Real Housewives of New JerseyTeresa Giudice explains part of the family spat.
Sort of.
According to her, she felt rejected when Melissa Gorga did not allow Gia to visit her home in Shore. Teresa says she herself hasn’t.
Hard? Or there maybe some really important missing the context here?

Teresa Giudice told some of her castmates that she did not feel welcome in Melissa Gorga Shore’s house.
The reason, he said, was because Gia once asked Melissa if she could visit. Melissa had said “no,” according to Teresa.
He then talked about how he wanted to be surrounded by people who supported him, his marriage, and his family.

Did Melissa really block the house of Gia Giudice, her own niece, because of the quarrel with Teresa?
According to an inside source Page Sixnot like that.
“The reason they don’t,” says the insider, “is because on weekends Joe and Melissa won’t be home.”

According to the source, Gia, who was 22 at the time, “wanted to stay there with some friends.”
Here’s the catch: this isn’t particularly new.
The insider revealed that Gia is hoping to spend the weekend at Melissa’s Shore home while she’s “coming of age.”

Whether that means she’s young (under 18) or more likely not old enough to drink alcohol (under 21), Melissa refuses.
Aunt Gia was “uncomfortable” leaving the empty house to him for so long, the source said.
Melissa is worried about how Gia and her friends will fare “without adult supervision” in the scenario, the insider said.

“They obviously love Gia,” our source insists.
“If Joe or Melissa – just one adult – [were] at his house,” the insider explained, “they’re going to let him stay.”
But letting your underage niece stay home with friends without an adult is… at best, a case-by-case scenario. It is unreasonable to refuse.

Meanwhile, Teresa says she’s “never” been to Melissa and Joe’s beach house, and makes it sound like she’s major and minor.
“Gia asked to stay there once, and Melissa said no,” she lamented, without giving context.
“I want to be around people who love us,” Teresa later told her gathered friends, pointing out that Melissa didn’t. “Like, I think you like us.”
