Melissa Gorga and his wife, Joe Gorgasaid in the premiere episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 that Theresa Judge ignored the post-reunion text message Melissa sent her in an attempt to make amends. But apparently, there is much more to the story.
After Tuesday’s episode, where Melissa also accused Teresa of inviting her to her 50th birthday after ignoring text messages for weeks, leaked text messages prove that the sisters have had a lot of interaction with each other since the season 12 reunion was filmed. on March 31 and before the premiere episode was shot in May.
“Melissa Gorga was exposed after lying in the season 13 premiere of RHONJ“All About the Real Housewives wrote in the caption of a series of pictures shared on their Instagram page on February 7.
“Melissa and Joe Gorga stated that they have not heard from Teresa Giudice since then [March 31] when Melissa texted Teresa after filming [RHONJ season 12 reunion]. We are now only releasing text messages between Melissa Gorga [and] Teresa Giudice was not edited / or cut as shown in the premiere,” said the outlet. “This text message has the full context between Melissa Gorga [and] Teresa Giudice chat from [March 31 to mid-May] where he had many conversations.”
Although one of Melissa’s cut texts to Teresa was shown in the episode, which showed Melissa saying, “Teresa, I texted you home from the reunion and you never replied until now,” Melissa said more was not shown.
“It seems a little thought that you have to watch the reunion and read the comments to make you feel like you want to fix your family again for the hundredth time,” Melissa said in a May 4 text. “I feel like this text is about you and not about us. Especially since we’re about to shoot again in two weeks. After all these years I finally found a way to accept the way our relationship is. For our children, I don’t want to argue with you, let it be what it is and be what it is.
But before Melissa shot down Teresa’s birthday invitation, Teresa responded to her post-reunion text with an Easter message a few weeks later that featured some butt painted like colored eggs. Then, almost two weeks after that, Teresa asked for Melissa’s address after Melissa texted her that she couldn’t call her.
In another text message, Melissa explains why she won’t attend what Teresa has invited.
Hours later, Teresa offered Melissa an olive branch.
“After watching the reunion, I feel and understand that the family has gone backwards. I want us to be a better example for our children, starting with me. I love you and I just want to be better. Are you free for lunch this week front?” he asked.
In response to Teresa’s suggestion that they go to lunch, Melissa is not on board.
“We are family and we should always respect each other. We don’t need to go to lunch. You draw a line in the sand with a party. You have said many times in interviews that we will not be friends. I agree with you. We will always be family and I will always be with you, but the best,” he wrote.
“I’m sorry I didn’t respond to you last night, we’ve had a very long day and I’m very tired and not feeling well especially after the surgery,” answered Teresa. “Thank you so much for what you said so sincerely and sincerely. We are family and we can do better starting with me. I’m sorry about the wedding, I feel terrible that I hurt you from the bottom of my heart. Let’s talk this will be it means the world to me.
“Teresa everything is fine, I’m fine, I told you,” Melissa texted back.
In another leaked message, Melissa again declined an invitation from Teresa before exchanging a series of pleasantries the following day.
