Teresa Giudice Addresses “Chosen Family” Comment On Real Housewives Of New Jersey And Calls Margaret Josephs A “Sh-t Starter”

Teresa Giudice is laying it all out on the table. And man, is it good! On last week’s episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, fans saw Joe Gorga skip out on Teresa’s housewarming celebration, leaving Melissa Gorga to attend alone. His absence came right after his argument with Luis Ruelas during “dude’s” night a few days earlier. 

Remember, Joe is the only family member (outside of her daughters) that Teresa has. WHY would he skip his only sister’s housewarming when she asked him to come? On top of that, his refusal to be there for her caused Tre to throw a little shade while she gave her speech. 

During her thank you’s, she gave a shoutout to her “chosen family.” And whew, did it get the people talking! According to RealityBlurb!,  Melissa was visibly upset as she ran off in tears. Shortly after, Margaret Josephs asked Melissa, “What’s that about?” Of course, she was referencing Tre’s comment.

However, Teresa doesn’t think she was trying to be inquisitive. “Was Margaret being a sh-t-starter you think there?” Teresa questioned.

Either way, Teresa clarified that she was unsure why Melissa would be so bothered by her remarks. “I have no idea. I didn’t know like, why would it upset [her]?” Teresa said. “I was saying everybody there was my chosen family. I was thanking them for coming.”

Listen, anyone who watches RHONJ knows Teresa’s not the best with her words. I believe her cast members are REACHING. And the Gorgas are clinging on to anything they can to stay relevant. I mean, clearly, Teresa doesn’t want to fight with them. “The only family member that I had is my brother, and he wasn’t there. And Melissa’s family by like — I didn’t think I said anything bad — through marriage, she’s not my blood,” she explained. 

Overall, the RHONJ vet is done dealing with her family’s drama. When asked if fans would see more Giudice/Gorga family feud on Season 14, the reality star firmly said, “No.” 

“No. We’re not speaking,” she said. “We haven’t spoken since two days before my wedding. And that’s it. Unfortunately, what they’ve done to me… People don’t know all of it because I’ve kept my mouth shut for the past 10 years, and now I’m done,” Tre finished.
