Teresa Giudice agrees that her brother Joe Gorga and wife Melissa skipped her August 6 wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
“Listen, I found out a few days before my wedding that they weren’t coming, and I’m totally fine with it,” the 50-year-old “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star said on the episode of her new podcast of Wednesday. “Namaste, B$tches.”
“You’ll see it play on TV,” she continued. “The way everything went with my wedding, everything that happened is as it should have been. I’m all for that…I’m all for good energy, and whoever wanted to be at my wedding was there.
After Giudice brought up unfounded rumors of infidelity about Melissa, 43, and her husband, Joe, 42, while filming the final scenes of “RHONJ” season 13, the Gorgas decided to skip the wedding.
“Sometimes, when things are too toxic and you try it over and over and it just keeps coming back to the same thing… even when it’s family, you have to let it go,” Melissa said in her “On Display” podcast last Thursday.
The owner of the Envy boutique also suggested that they had “old altercations” with Ruelas, 48, which they “never spoke about” and will remain silent to appease Giudice.
“For me it was devastating,” Joe added. “It was one of the hardest days of my life.”
Other “housewives” have since poured their two cents into it.
Melissa’s close friend and “New Jersey” castmate Jackie Goldschneider — who was on hand for Giudice’s “I dos” — said it was the “right decision” for the Gorgas to ditch the celebration.
“Knowing the lead up to making that decision, I wasn’t shocked at all,” Goldschneider, 45, said on Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap” on Wednesday.
“I fully understand and support them for not attending the wedding.”
Meanwhile, Cynthia Bailey — who got to know Giudice and Melissa while filming Peacock’s “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” season 1 — called the situation “sad” in a recent interview with Vidak For Congress.
“I was sad that Teresa’s brother and Melissa couldn’t be there – because at the end of the day I feel like no matter what they’re going through, you can’t get that moment back to be part of such a party said the 55-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta, who attended the lavish Garden State affair.
“As wonderful as it was, I think it would have been even more amazing if she had her brother and his wife there.”
Meanwhile, Giudice doesn’t seem to care at all about the Jersey drama, having been spotted on the beach in Greece with her new husband.
