Melissa Gorga is feeling “relief” after she and husband Joe squashed their “dark” feud with Teresa Giudice after 15 years.
“We all sat down and it went really well,” Melissa told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy at BravoCon on Friday.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 46, emphasized that she felt at ease to finally put their issues behind them.
“It’s been a long time coming, it’s been dark for too long. It’s too much,” she continued.
“How am I going to tell my child not to fight with her brother when she’s watching her dad do it, right? We need to show them that this is not how life goes. This is not normal.”
Still, with the holidays quickly approaching, Melissa isn’t sure the family’s ready for a big gathering.
“I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. I could see maybe a dinner of some sort,” she said, adding, “We’re not talking the holidays just yet.”
Giudice revealed that she finally buried the hatchet with her estranged brother and her sister-in-law after a nearly 15-year feud during Friday’s Housewife2Housewife panel at BravoCon.
“We have all gotten together. I’m really grateful and I’m thankful,” Giudice, 53, said of the reunion.
To show there were no hard feelings, Joe, 51, stopped by Giudice’s setup where she and her husband, Luis Ruelas, were signing merchandise for fans.
TikTok videos showed the brother pulling his sister and Ruelas in for a quick embrace.
Giudice prompted the reconciliation in September when she revealed in a “Jeff Lewis Live” Sirius XM interview that she would “never say never” to a potential reunion with her estranged brother and sister-in-law.
Later that month, Melissa responded to Giudice’s confession by telling Page Six that the “door has been closed” between the feuding families for some time.
“[Teresa] has said out loud on multiple platforms, podcasts, whatever it might be, that the door is closed. So, the truth is, I’m just confused why it might be opening or cracking a little bit,” she said at the “Virtual Reali-Tea” Awards.
In October, Joe responded to his sister’s confession, saying he was willing to “forgive” Teresa, but only if she came from a “humble place.”
