Closer Than Ever! Melissa Gorga Reveals How Prison Gave Her Relationship With Teresa Giudice A Fresh Start

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice went from fighting to forgiveness! The sister-in-laws who were known her for their harsh words and family feuds have turned over new leaves all because of Teresa’s time in prison.

Melissa, 37, told Life & Style magazine that the family rift and bad blood had to stop because there were more important things at stake. “I just decided to let things go, and I think she feels the same,” she told the publication.

Teresa depended heavily on her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife while she was away serving her sentence for fraud.

“There definitely has been a crisis going, and family bands together during a crisis,” the reality TV star added. “ We are true family people at our roots.”

Melissa admitted that other people and negative rumors were influencing their relationship too much and they needed to “put a stop to that.”

“Whatever Teresa needs, we’re just there for her right now,” the mom-of-three said. “We love each other.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres July 10 at 8pm ET on Bravo.
