'RHONJ' Star Joe Gorga Talks About Mending Things With His Sister Teresa Giudice at BravoCon
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Gorga appeared on a panel at BravoCon in Las Vegas where he opened up about mending things with his sister, Teresa Giudice, and wishing that their family would "come together," RadarOnline.com has learned.
Melissa was reportedly hurt by Teresa's decision not to ask her to be one of the bridesmaids.
One fan at the panel asked a question about why Teresa was still on the show after all the drama that's gone down in recent years. Joe took the mic to answer and publicly stated, "I am a brother, and I am a man, and I really wish that the family would come together. I really do."
The tension between Teresa and Joe has been apparent for quite some time, but it reached explosive levels after Teresa's husband, Luis Ruelas, accused Joe's wife Melissa Gorga of cheating on the Bravo star.
At another part of the convention, the housewife also opened up about her current relationship with her brother and his wife claiming, "We've all moved on from that. We're in a good place."

Although the Giudices and the Gorgas have a long history of conflicts, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope that they could put their differences aside.
However, the relationship between Teresa and Melissa took a turn for the worse when the Gorgas decided not to attend Luis and Teresa's wedding in August 2022.
The couple believed that Teresa had spread rumors about Melissa's alleged infidelity, which the Gorgas vehemently denied.
