Family affairs.
Joe Gorga thinks no one understands how he feels amid his feud with his sister, Teresa Giudice.
“People always say, ‘I know how you feel.’ No, you really don’t,” he wrote with an Instagram photo of himself on Tuesday.
The post came just days after Giudice tied the knot with Luis “Louie” Ruelas. However, Gorga, 42, and wife Melissa Gorga, 43, were conspicuously absent from the celebrations due to a “very tense ‘Housewives’ finale” filmed just before the wedding.
A source close to the family told Vidak For Congress that the couple canceled their invitations at the last minute after Giudice, 50, spread a rumor that “would cause drama” in her brother’s marriage.
Another source added that Joe and Ruelas disagreed and the finale pushed them both over the edge.
Echoing the blunt, the author “Skinny Italian” made it clear where she stands with her younger brother.
At the reception on Saturday, as Ruelas, 48, toasted to friends and family, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star corrected him and thanked her “chosen family.”
Joe’s comments on Tuesday weren’t the first time the business owner has shadowed his sister on social media.
The night before her wedding, he captioned an Instagram Story photo with his in-laws: “Blood doesn’t make you family.”
Melissa meanwhile wrote how “God blessed” [her] with a great family” over a video of her relatives dancing.
Although the reality TV star’s brother and sister-in-law were not in attendance, “housewives” from all over the country came out to celebrate the newlywed marriage.
The couple said “I do” for 220 guests just as the sun was setting on the Chateau Estate in East Brunswick, NJ
Giudice stuns in an off-the-shoulder dress by Mark Zunino paired with a crystal tiara atop an extravagant updo. She completed the look with an embroidered veil featuring the Italian phrase “Semper Insieme” (meaning “Always Together”).
Giudice’s four daughters – Gia, 21, Gabriella, 17, Milania, 16, and Audriana, 12, who she shares with ex-husband Joe Giudice – served as bridesmaids in pale pink satin dresses.
