Before taking intention at Melissa, revealing she was not too long ago sicker than she’s ever been, and teasing what’s to return on The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s upcoming 13th season, Teresa reacted to Joe’s suggestion that her marriage to Luis Ruelas received’t final and accused him and her sister-in-law of abuse.
“Even after the wedding, he never apologized for not coming to the wedding. Nothing. And then … we went to BravoCon, and he makes jokes and he wasn’t even asked a question,” Teresa stated on the January 18 episode of Namaste B$tches. “Melissa was asked the question, and my brother proceeds to get up [and suggest marriage won’t last]. It’s like, ‘Why would you do that?’ My brother is not my brother. I don’t know what happened to him. I have friends that act like more family to me than my own family.”
While Teresa stored quiet about a lot of the Gorgas’ habits for years, she instructed listeners she’s “finding [her] voice” and “speaking the truth.”
“I am always about family. But when family is toxic and is trying to hurt you, that’s when you need to step away, and that’s what I’m doing now,” Teresa revealed. “I’m being truthful and honest, and I’m standing strong in what I believe. The past 10 years, it’s like a revelation happened to me now. My eyes have been opened.”
“I’ve been taken for a fool. I’ve been dragged through the mud. My family did come on the show and betrayed me. It was an ultimate betrayal. If this wasn’t so like hurtful to me, so painful in my heart, I would have not been saying this whole time,” she continued. “I kept forgiving and forgiving.”
According to Teresa, Joe and Melissa used her to get solid on RHONJ.
“My brother would only come around when I was filming, now I get it. I was just used and abused just so they could become famous, so they could get their paycheck from [RHONJ],” she defined. “Even my children, they’re like, ‘Your brother and Melissa only come around when we film.’”
Although Teresa stated she stored her mouth shut to maintain the peace for her mother and father, who needed her and Joe to “always be united,” she famous that Joe was at all times motivated by cameras — whilst he helped her together with her children after her former partner, Joe Giudice, was deported.
“Here I thought my brother was coming around to help me … Meanwhile, it was cuz of the show, it was only when the show was filming,” she shared. “Never once did they ask me to go out, my brother or Melissa, on a Saturday night — when we weren’t filming. Not once did they say, ‘Let’s go out to dinner. We want to take you out to dinner.’ And I even said to him one time, ‘Why don’t you ever ask me to go out?’ And he’s like, ‘Well cuz we always go out with couples.’”
While Teresa claimed Melissa not too long ago accused her of constructing up causes to be achieved together with her and Joe, Teresa insisted she doesn’t have to create a factor — and added that her current watching of RHONJ has nothing to do with it, saying that’s “just the icing on the cake.”
“I’m glad everyone’s seeing the truth, that she’s lied through her teeth for the past 10 years, that she looked at me in the face, she lied to the fans, right to their faces,” Teresa said, giving a nod to Melissa’s reported lie about not becoming a member of the present behind her again (As RHONJ followers could have heard, former producer Carlos King confirmed that Melissa did, actually, attain out to manufacturing with out Teresa’s information to get on the collection).
“The only way she’s relevant is if she talks about me and I f-cking finally … I f-cking finally woke up,” she added.
Teresa went on to shade Joe and Melissa for poking enjoyable at her wedding ceremony with Melissa’s household.
“My only brother, my only family, my only sister-in-law … not only did they not show up at my wedding but … they were saying terrible things on social media… something like ’This is better than a wedding,’” she recalled, confirming she by no means eliminated the couple from her visitor checklist. “They were invited. For her to even say that … That’s crazy to me … And then to know and see my brother and to see what he’s doing and to make this announcement that he’s not coming to my wedding and to talk trash about me on social media with Melissa’s family, how do you think that made me feel?”
As she strikes ahead from the feud, Teresa says she needs the Gorgas effectively and hope they are going to do the identical for her.
“I need to heal. I need peace in my life, and I need the toxicity out of my life. Ten years is a long time. I need to heal myself, I need to protect my family, and I need to just keep the toxicity out,” Teresa shared.
Teresa additionally reacted to the Gorgas’ suggestion that she’s not comfortable at dwelling, saying, “I’m not even gonna address that.”
