Teresa Giudice Sent Her Brother His Bill
MEGASources close to Giudice told RadarOnline that the Bravo reality star is demanding that her brother compensate her for the losses she incurred due to his absence at her star-studded wedding to Ruelas.
The source said, “Joe and Melissa had both RSVPed ‘Yes.’ They had both selected what they were going to eat but then dropped out a few days before. Teresa had paid for them and now she wants her money back.”
They added, “Meals at Park Chateau Estates and Gardens are not cheap. It’s rude to say ‘yes,’ and then change your mind in the 11th hour. This stuff isn’t refundable. Teresa got stuck with the check and to make matters worse, Joe and Melissa didn’t even send her a gift.”
Joe And Melissa Gorga Changed Their Minds Last Minute
MEGASources close to the Gorgas’ told People magazine that the couple had planned to attend the wedding but changed their mind on Thursday night. Gorga and Melissa got upset over a situation involving Giudice.
The couple learned that during filming for the Real Housewives of New Jersey, several “false rumors” had come up about their marriage. The source explained that Giudice had been part of the situation, and Ruelas’ behavior during the whole thing had particularly pissed off the Gorgas.
The source said, “Teresa betrayed them in a way that’s unforgivable. They’re not going to celebrate Teresa’s new marriage when all she does is try to tear apart theirs. It’s telling that Teresa didn’t have one relative at her wedding. But that’s the choice Teresa made.”
Joe And Melissa Gorga Want To Protect Themselves

The insider said, “Viewers will see, but after the continued attacks, it’s clear the healthiest thing for Joe and Melissa to do is walk away. They just want to find peace, especially for their three children. Melissa and Joe’s efforts to make family a priority with Teresa are exhausted.”
The couple has finally decided to remove Giudice from their life, and the insider explains that this is because “sometimes removing the toxic energy from your life is the only way forward.”
