RHONJ: How mad is Teresa Giudice at Melissa Gorga right now?

The RHONJ sisters by marriage have spent years working on their relationship and were finally in a good place – but did one hair pull unravel it all?

On the finale of RHONJ, Melissa Gorga did a great job of getting Teresa Giudice to admit to telling Danielle Staub to pull Margaret Josephs’ ponytail.  That sentence was a doozy.  But we all know how tenuous the relationship between Melissa and Teresa can be – how much damage did this revelation do?  It seemed like Melissa was informed of Teresa’s involvement (by production? sixth sense?) and went to verify it herself.

But how mad is Teresa to this day?

Melissa usually does everything she can to avoid confrontation with her sister-in-law, but this time she dove right in.  When Melissa went to meet up with Danielle, she marched right back to the BBQ with her information and spilled all of the beans.  After telling the ladies that Teresa told Danielle to “do it,” Melissa just straight up asked Teresa, “Is she lying?”

And when Melissa first introduced the idea, Margaret said, “You wouldn’t tell her to hurt me,” only to realize that’s exactly what happened.

Teresa tried to explain it away (“I was drinking!”) but there was no hope.  She tossed her solo cup and cleared off a nearby table with one big swipe.  And all Teresa said was, “I hope they don’t use this.”  Melissa responded, “They are gunna use it.”  Teresa did what she could: she flipped off the camera and she flipped her solo cup.  Then she ran into the house.

The entire season

Teresa has stood up for Danielle without fail.  Even when there was no reason to, Teresa supported Danielle throughout.  And now the first chance she got, Danielle sold Teresa out.  It just proves that the rest of the girls were right – Danielle was only using Teresa.  And now that the season ended so abruptly, there’s only one place all of this can be discussed: the reunion.

Danielle had nothing good to say about Melissa when asked about her on Bravo’s After Show.  Danielle said that she doesn’t give Melissa a second thought anymore and that she’s the reason Melissa is even a housewife.  Then she called Melissa out for her goal of owning a boutique as a dream of hers.  Ouch, Beverly.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion starts Wednesday, March 4 at 8 PM.
