Melissa Gorga hits back at Teresa Giudice’s ‘strange’ reconciliation confession: ‘The door has been closed’

Melissa Gorga is shutting down a potential reconciliation with her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice after the latter extended an olive branch last week.

“The truth is, for the last year, the door has been closed,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star told hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy at Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” Awards sponsored by Tri-State Cadillac and Malibu Wednesday night.

“[Giudice] has said out loud on multiple platforms, podcasts, whatever it might be, that the door is closed. So, the truth is, I’m just confused why it might be opening or cracking a little bit.”

Gorga, 46, went on to question if her in-law’s confession may have something to do with the current state of their Bravo show, which is undergoing a cast revamp following Season 14’s finale.

“Neither of us have had any contact in probably two years at this point, so that’s just so strange to come out with that out of nowhere,” the Envy store owner added.

Giudice, 53, hinted at the possibility of a reconciliation with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife during a recent appearance on “Jeff Lewis Live.”

When asked by the host if they could all “co-exist” as a happy family once again, the “Turning the Tables” author cheekily answered, “Never say never.”

Her daughter Gia Giudice then chimed in, “I think everyone can co-exist. Just put your ‘big girl’ panties on and be mature.”

“I think the viewers would wanna see that, too,” the “Next Gen NYC” star, 24, continued.

“I think there’s nothing more [to fight over] just because it’s been going on for so long. So, obviously, they’re gonna wanna see some sort of resolution.”

Teresa’s peace offering comes shortly after it was reported that several members of the “RHONJ” cast had started test filming without her.

A source claimed earlier this month that “potential new cast members” filmed with Melissa and fellow show veterans Margaret Josephs and Dolores Catania because producers wanted “to see how the new girls work on camera” with the OG stars.

However, casting decisions are not yet official as the insider added that Teresa is “still in consideration to be part of the new season.”
