AceShowbiz - "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga were involved in an explosive argument at Danielle Cabral's mozzarella-making party in the Tuesday, February 14 episode of the Bravo reality TV series. In the outing, Teresa blamed her sister-in-law for inciting co-star Margaret Josephs to bring up rumors about his husband Luis Ruelas last season.
In response to the accusation, Melissa snapped at Teresa. "Stop putting it on me! Stop putting it on me!" Melissa yelled at the OG star. "I didn't f**king do it. I'm sick of you putting s**t on me!" Teresa, however, insisted that it was Melissa who "started" the screaming match before emphasizing that "family is everything" to her.
Melissa, meanwhile, admitted that she was "so sick" of hearing Teresa's preach about "family, family, family." "Somehow, some way, all roads lead to Melissa. [Teresa] will never blame herself," she said in a confessional.
At one point during the sisters-in-law's fight, the table arrangement at her engagement party in December 2021 was brought up. "She was sitting at my table because she asked to move to the other table," Teresa, who allegedly purposely excluded the Gorgas from her family table, told the ladies.
Melissa was stunned upon hearing it. "Teresa! Hold on, hold on - I thought right now you would never look at me in the eyes and lie, but you're going to say you sat me [your table]?" she said.
While Teresa maintained that she was "not lying," Melissa doubled down that Teresa sat them at a table with Jennifer Aydin "and some hairdressers” while Teresa sat with Luis' sisters.
Melissa further added, "You even came to me and apologized for not being at your table. You were like, 'I'm sorry guys, don’t make a big deal over this.' "
In her confessional, Teresa said, "Why would I lie? Luis and I went up to my brother and Melissa and even told them, 'you were supposed to be sitting at our table.' "
Teresa and Melissa' beef only escalated when the former questioned Melissa's intentions for bringing up the seating arrangements during the season 12 reunion. "We were fighting! You were yelling at your brother [Joe Gorga], calling him a piece of s**t basically - what do you mean?" Melissa yelled, which Giudice denied.
"You were horrible to us in New York! The engagement thing, the wedding thing, if you don't wanna own that either, that's cool," Melissa added.
