Unapologetically unbothered is the new deal right now.
It’s no secret that Teresa Giudice, her brother Joe Gorga, and her brother’s wife Melissa Gorga are not in good terms. It escalated after Joe and Melissa refused to attend Teresa’s wedding with Louis Ruelas in August. Since then, things have gone from bad to worse.
In a Dec. 22 episode of Melissa’s “On Display” podcast, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa revealed that amid the ongoing family feud between her family and her sister-in-law, her daughter Antonia has remained unfazed by any of it.
Melissa Gorga — Antonia’s Reaction To The Family Drama
The reality star shared that it surprises her that her 17-year-old daughter doesn’t bother herself with fighting or sulking about her parents’ issues with her aunt, instead, she laughs it off.
“It’s so crazy that she is such a drama-free — like, she almost giggles at drama, like laughs at me. She’ll laugh at me and she’ll be like, ‘Oh Mom, please.’ Like, she’s unfazed by the fact that even her cousins unfollowed her parents on Instagram. She just is like, ‘You know what, Mom? Not your problem, theirs.’”
Melissa, 43, who shares kids, Antonia, 17, Gino, 15, and Joey, 12, with her husband Joe, 43, didn’t have to mention the “cousins” she was referring to in her conversation with her daughter. It’s obvious she meant Teresa’s four daughters, Gia, 21, Gabriella, 18, Milania, 16, and Audriana, 13, whom she shares with ex-husband Joe Giudice.
The trailer of Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 was released on Wednesday, Dec. 21, and from the snippet, there sure is a promise of hot drama.
Prior to the filming of season 13, it was reported that Teresa’s husband Louis exchanged blows with his brother-in-law Joe Gorga. The fight took place before Teresa and Louis tied the knot.
It was probably due to the fight that made Joe and Melissa not to grace Teresa’s wedding but, a source told “PEOPLE” that “Teresa betrayed them in a way that’s unforgivable. They’re not going to celebrate Teresa’s new marriage when all she does is try to tear apart theirs.”
The trailer gave snippets of what went down the day the fight happened, how the marriage talks between Teresa and Luis started, the wedding— which by the way, none of Teresa’s family members attended— and an angry Luis saying, “I’m gonna f***ng punch him in the face cause I got nothing to f***ing lose.”
Melissa Gorga — Melissa’s Thought On Antonia’s Calmness
Melissa attributes her daughter’s composure in the midst of drama to Antonia growing up and watching her handle lots of things without losing her cool.
“I think she’s also watched certain situations and things that I’ve been through too, and how I handle them and the calmness in the room instead of the chaotic-ness,” said Melissa.
Melissa went on to add, “And I think she’s learned from that. And it could also just be her personality. It is who she is, and the word that comes to mind with everything is unfazed.”
The trailer of RHONJ season 13 also featured Jennifer Aydin accusing Melissa of infidelity. Meanwhile, before the cheating allegations came to light, Teresa already knew about Melissa’s infidelity to her brother.
Sometime in August, a source revealed to “Us Weekly” that one of the reasons for Melissa’s fights with Teresa was, “Melissa allegedly making out with this guy while she was on a press tour in the city. This ‘rumor’ was something that Teresa had known about for over a year and had been pushing for it to come out. Finally, the finale was perfect timing.”
Real Housewives of New Jersey will premiere next year, February 7, 2023.
