I’m starting to think that the longstanding feud between Teresa Giudice and brother Joe Gorga will never end. Have I been so naive to think there was ever a chance? It feels so obvious now. And don’t even get me started on Tre and Melissa Gorga. Those two have never liked each other and never will. But the relationship with Real Housewives of New Jersey’s first family is full of a slow simmer of resentment of spending years together on television. And it doesn’t look like it will be over anytime soon.
After a recent blow up at castmate Jennifer Aydin’s house, Teresa’s loyalty to Joe was once again called into question. Jennifer, who has been feuding with Melissa both on and off screen for awhile now, refused to take back calling the Gorgas crooks. And called Joe a “little b**ch.” Tre sat idly by while Melissa jumped up and charged Jennifer to defend her husband. Melissa and Joe got kicked out and Teresa seemed confused as to what the big fuss was. Loyalty to the family, that’s what!
As reported by Reality Blurb, Joe is once again stuck wondering why Teresa won’t stand up for him. On a recent appearance on RHONJ: After Show, Joe sounded off on the fight that is threatening his relationship with his sister.

Joe said, “I always have her back. It’s never reciprocated. If that was me and let’s say Margaret [Josephs] threw my sister out of the house… I would’ve never heard the end of it. My nieces would probably say nasty things about me. My sister would constantly remind me, over and over, ‘You didn’t stick up for me. You didn’t leave. You should’ve left the house. How dare you stay there when she kicked me out?’ I would’ve heard it a thousand different times.”
Joe also added that Tre would never let Jennifer get away with speaking like that to anyone else in their family. He explained, “If Jen called my father a crook, would my sister talk to her? Think about that. If she called my mom a crook, I wonder how she would react. If she said something about her daughters….”
He added, “When it comes to me, it’s like, with the entire family, for some reason, I’m the dishrag. They can sh*t on me, sh*t on me, if I say one thing, oh, it’s the end of the world. I feel sorry for myself, I really do, in so many ways.”

When it came to Melissa and Jennifer’s social media war, Joe has a theory on why Teresa didn’t take up for Melissa. He thinks Tre just loves the attention she gets from Jennifer. He claimed, “Teresa likes attention and Jen kisses her a**. And because maybe she kisses her a– so much, my sister looks the other way. But Teresa knows who she is. And she already proved it to me that she was telling me, ‘No, I chose her over you,’ in so many words.”
For her part, Melissa seems way less surprised. She knows Teresa demands loyalty from them but doesn’t return the favor. Melissa began, “We have to be soldiers and we get told every little minute, of like, ‘You better stick up for…’ I get the text, ‘You better do the right thing.’ But then as soon as her friend does it, not much gets said.”
Melissa went on, “We are very loyal and we are the ones who don’t talk about it all the time but we actually do it. I think there’s a big difference in saying, ‘I love my family. I’m loyal to my family’ … and actually being the one who does something about it.”

Melissa noted that there is “always a double standard” with Teresa, despite her brother “always acts in the right direction” and “backs her up.” But as for whether or not Tre would actually go through with dropping Jennifer for her family, Melissa doesn’t have an answer for that.
She speculated, “I feel like she was in a little bit of a desperate mode at that point. When Teresa cries and breaks down, she’s definitely in a spot where she’s confused and like lost. So she might have. But that’s just not who we are.” Melissa concluded, “We’re not going to tell someone not to be friends with someone.”
TELL US – DO YOU AGREE THAT THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD WITH TRE AND HER LOYALTY? SHOULD SHE HAVE STUCK UP FOR JOE AND MELISSA? WHY DO YOU THINK TRE IS SO ATTACHED TO JENNIFER?
