In the early season of The Real Housewives of New Jerseywar began between them Theresa Judge and several members of his family – including his brother Joe Gorgasister Melissa Gorgaand brothers Kathy Wakile.
At the time, fans were confused by the feud, although Teresa later revealed that the three castmates joined the show behind her back, blinding her.
Teresa’s claims have been hotly disputed by Melissa, who seems to paint Teresa as a bad person. A few months ago, however, the former RHONJ producer Carlos King confirmed Teresa’s version of events, claiming she was blindsided.
On the “Namaste B$tches” podcast, Teresa revealed the “biggest backstab” she had in her family.
It involves the brothers Joe, Melissa, and Kathy – and it seems to be a reference to how they joined the picture.
“This is the biggest backstab in my family,” Teresa said in a clip shared on Instagram. “Like [the biggest] heartache that I can feel.”
The best-selling author continues, “This is a first. [It] like a knife in my heart from both, from my brother and Melissa and from my cousin Kathy.
The metaphorical knife wound from Kathy is especially painful “because I’m really close to my brother Kathy. And for me, family means the world,” said Teresa.
“I went… by the movie ‘The Godfather’, like me. If someone has never seen the Godfather movie, they should watch Godfather I, II and III,” explained the star, as if to tell the movie’s theme of family loyalty.
In the second ‘Godfather’ movie, Michael Corleone gives his brother the ‘kiss of death’, after discovering his betrayal. Teresa has mentioned this famous scene, and many fans believe that Joe betrayed her in the same way.
Later in the movie, Michael has killed his brother. It could be the modern equivalent of Bravo refusing to film together – or not attending other people’s parties.
