Melissa Gorga is weighing in on Teresa Giudice‘s recent interaction with her husband, Joe Gorga.
After Teresa, 53, reached out to her brother, Joe, 50, following years of estrangement, the 46-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star shared her thoughts on their potential reconciliation while also commenting on whether she’d film with Teresa for season 15 and looking back on her June car accident.
“I’m always going to be team family — always,” Melissa told Us Weekly on October 23. “So we’ll see what happens. We’ll see where it goes. I do think, for all of our children’s sake, I would love for everyone to get to a place of healing, and I would never root for this to go on forever. Never. It’s not any way to live, and it’s no way that I want my children to see, because we need to lead by example. So I’m always for healing and to be continued.”
According to Teresa, she believes that when it comes to reconciling the family, “enough time” has passed to warrant a conversation. In fact, she appears to be open to filming with her sister-in-law in the future.
“I feel like we need to get there … the core of that show has always been family. And it is hard to imagine it without being about the family. So we’ll see,” she reasoned.
Continuing on about what is to come with RHONJ season 15, Melissa said, “Bravo will decide,” as she confirmed that she doesn’t know more than anyone else.
“I feel like everyone secretly thinks we’re going to get this big announcement. And I’m like, ‘Are we?’ I’m at Bravo offices today. I feel like snooping in their drawers or something. But I know as much as you do. That’s what’s so crazy. They know better than to tell us anything,” she explained.
Meanwhile, during an appearance on Jeff Lewis‘ radio show, SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Melissa looked back on her “really, really bad accident” in which her Lamborghini SUV was totaled.
“My airbags exploded. I was shaking and crying. It was not my fault. I was pulling out. I look, I look, I’m clear. This guy came out of like, another side street. He T-boned me. I go to open the door. I couldn’t open the door,” she recalled, as seen in a clip shared on Instagram on October 23.
Then, after confirming that she did, in fact, make sure to grab her Chanel handbag, Melissa admitted she was supposed to yield but clarified that the other driver “should’ve yielded to [her], and he did not.”
“I did the right thing,” she insisted.
