Teresa Giudice’s wedding to Louie Ruelas doesn’t even have a date yet, but the nuptials are already proving to be a dramatic affair. When Giudice announced Melissa Gorga wouldn’t be among her bridesmaids on her special day, Joe Gorga’s wife initially understood her decision because she assumed her sister-in-law would just have her daughters by her side, as she said on a preview clip of the reunion shared by Bravo. But she was hurt when she learned Giudice intended to include her future sisters-in-law, referring to Ruelas’ sisters.
Giudice had no apologies, though. “I speak to them, like, all the time … This is the thing honey, we’re not close. Like, you’re my sister-in-law, but we’re not close,” Giudice told Melissa, who had an issue with that explanation. “We have a lot of memories, even if we’re not close,” Melissa said. She also felt the need to remind Giudice of their history together. “When you were away, I was the one helping you mother pick up your girls and bring them to dance,” detailed Melissa, who has been married to Joe since 2004, according to Us Weekly.
During the reunion, Joe also questioned Giudice’s sense of family when she accused him of attacking Ruelas. “Be a sister once in a while,” he told her, according to Page Six. Despite knowing Ruelas’ sisters for a short time, Giudice sometimes takes to Instagram to boast about their bond. “Sweet loves,” she captioned a December snap.
