Melissa and Joe Gorga made waves in the reality TV world when they chose not to attend fellow "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas' wedding.  Guidice is Joe Gorga's sister. The Gorgas discussed the nuptials in a new episode of Melissa Gorga’s podcast, "On Display." She alluded to an altercation that took place while filming the season 13 finale of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," which made it impossible for them to attend. She didn't reveal what exactly happened while filming the finale, but both of them agreed it would have been difficult for them to attend after what took place.

"There was plenty of reason for Joe and I to say it would be very strange — including everyone in that room, by the way — to look at Joe and I to say, like, 'Yes, it would be very strange for you guys to just be sitting in the pews tomorrow, wishing them well on their wedding day.' It would be strange," Melissa explained. The Gorgas chose not to attend Teresa Giudice's wedding.

Guidice claims her brother and sister-in-law joined the show behind her back, while the Gorgas maintain they were fully transparent with her throughout the process. In various episodes in which the two discuss the issue, Melissa claims Giudice is angry at them for joining the show because it was her thing, and they encroached on it. Melissa, however, feels she deserved to take advantage of the opportunity just as much as Giudice did.
