Teresa Giudice is finally at peace after years of feuding with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his partner, Melissa Gorga. She “doesn’t see a way forward” with him – even after sitting down off-camera.
Growing up, Teresa Giudice didn’t always agree with how the family bonds were, but “kept her mouth shut” as she “didn’t want to upset” anyone, as told to Live With Kelly & Ryan.

Teresa Giudice ‘doesn’t see way forward’
Teresa admits she “doesn’t see a way forward” with her brother, Joe Gorga, who she’s sat down with several times and not resolved their years-long feud with. In 2022, they were on good terms.
However, in the last two years, everything went pear-shaped. She has now told Live With Kelly & Ryan, “There’s a lot of things that happened and I kept my mouth shut as I didn’t want to upset my parents.”
“Sometimes, you just can’t go back,” Giudice added. She said she “didn’t want to” discuss the family’s past but addresses “how she was raised by her parents” alongside her brother, Joe.
RHONJ star is finally at peace
Teresa says they are all at peace now, revealing Joe is “happy with his wife and his family and her family,” while she is similarly glad of her new husband, Luis Ruelas, whose family she adores.
She went through six months of therapy to move on from the family feud. More recently, Joe discussed the family milestones he’ll miss as a result of his feud with his sister, after attending a wedding.
“It makes me think of my sister and I say, ‘She won’t be at my kids’ weddings,’” he said, adding, “My nieces will be getting married, and I’m not gonna be there.”

Inside Teresa and Joe’s family feud
Teresa and husband Luis helped to spread a cheating rumor about Melissa. This, in turn, caused her and Joe to not attend Teresa and Luis’ wedding in August 2022, which heightened the drama.
Three days after tying the knot, Louie responded to rumors that Teresa sent her brother and sister-in-law a bill for missing the wedding, denying the speculation, while Joe said, “Blood doesn’t make you family.”
They all cut ties at The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion in June 2023. Joe told Teresa, “Forget about me, I will forget about you. That’s it. Do your thing, leave me alone, leave everybody alone.”
