Tensions are reaching a boiling point on The Real Housewives of New Jersey as Teresa Giudice and her brother, Joe Gorga, find themselves embroiled in a bitter feud. The animosity between Teresa and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, has been a recurring issue ever since the Gorgas joined the popular Bravo show.
However, things have taken a turn for the worse since Teresa and her then-husband, Joe Giudice, served time in federal prison. Recent revelations about their prison stints have resurfaced, bringing to light new information and raising questions about what truly transpired during that time.
During a recent appearance on Behind the Velvet Rope, former Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members Kim DePaola and Jacqueline Laurita made shocking allegations. According to the women, they were aware of Joe Gorga’s alleged involvement in having his secretary contact the IRS regarding Teresa and Joe’s financial matters.
As the debate regarding the identity of the individuals who reported Teresa and Joe to the authorities resurfaces, fresh accusations concerning the IRS have emerged. Kim DePaola disclosed that she had informed Jacqueline Laurita about Joe Gorga’s secretary being instructed to make the call. She further claimed that both she and Jacqueline knew a person working in the office who overheard Joe giving the order. Although Teresa was aware of this individual’s identity, Kim chose not to reveal it, wishing to avoid any further complications.
Reports indicate that the siblings have not spoken to each other since the filming of The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. The absence of Joe and Melissa Gorga at Teresa Giudice’s wedding drew a clear line in the sand, emphasizing the deep divisions within the family. Tensions escalated further between Joe Gorga and Teresa’s fiancé, Luis Ruelas, during the season finale, with the wedding special’s trailer hinting at a fiery confrontation.
At this juncture, hopes for a reconciliation appear dim. Teresa and her daughters are weary of the ongoing drama, particularly after Gia Giudice, Teresa’s daughter, revealed that Joe had lied about the nature of their pre-wedding conversation. Joe had accused his niece of urging him to divorce his wife, an allegation that she vehemently denied. Gia clarified that she had called him to plead with him to attend the wedding, emphasizing the importance of avoiding any regrets in the future.
With the rift between Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga seemingly insurmountable, the future remains uncertain for this fractured family dynamic. Fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey can only watch with bated breath as events continue to unfold, revealing the fate of these strained relationships.
