Melissa & Joe Gorga Make a Shocking Confession About "Peace" with Teresa — But Not Louie
The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member made a very surprising comment about her sister-in-law.
Melissa Gorga's lack of a relationship with her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice, has been highlighted throughout The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14.
Both Melissa and her husband, Teresa's brother Joe Gorga, have kept their distance from Teresa — who has stated time and time again, that there is no relationship between them. Melissa did, however, have some surprising words about Teresa and her relationship with Teresa's husband Luis "Louie" Ruelas when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday, July 28.
Why Joe Gorga Has "No Regrets" Amid Teresa Giudice Fallout
Teresa had attempted to make peace with Melissa and Joe in Season 14 Episode 7, when she tried to get a bottle of liquor and a card in their hands at their housewarming party. Instead of reading the card, Joe burned it, which he told WWHL host, Andy Cohen, he has "no regrets" about doing.
Peace might be lost at this point. But, during a game of "1, 2, Agree or Disagree" Andy asked Melissa to agree or disagree with the following statement: "Had Louie never entered the picture, there would be peace between Teresa and the Gorgas."
Melissa agreed with this. "Fake peace, but peace," she admitted while Joe nodded his head in affirmation from the audience.

Where Melissa and Joe Gorga Stand with Louie Ruelas Today
Both Melissa and Joe have been vocal about their issues with Teresa's husband of almost two years. Their rift goes all the way back to before the RHONJ Season 13 reunion, where Louie claimed he had hired an investigator to get information on everyone in the cast, including the Gorgas. This action was in response to Teresa learning that there had allegedly been a meeting to turn the tables on Louie.
On top of this, Melissa and Joe did not attend Teresa and Louie's wedding, adding more fuel to the fire. During RHONJ Season 13 Episode 14, Louie revealed that he spoke to Teresa's ex-husband, Joe Giudice, ahead of their wedding, where he gave him some advice on dealing with Joe Gorga.
"He literally said to me, 'Do not let Joe Gorga interfere with your life, because he's gonna try to do that. He's gonna feel intimidated. He's insecure,'" Louie told Teresa during the episode.
By the next season, Louie did not have much to say about his brother-in-law. "I don't really talk about him," he told Bill Aydin in Season 14 Episode 4.
Melissa Gorga Has "Zero Guilt" About Relationship with Teresa Giudice
Melissa told Andy on Sunday that she does not see any future in which she'll have a relationship with Teresa. She noted that her favorite part about Season 14 has been "how free" she feels.
"I don't feel the pressure any more to kinda accept things I didn't feel were right, or to keep moving forward with something that was at a complete dead end," she explained. "Having zero guilt any longer and knowing I've done the right thing for as long as I could is definitely my rose."
