Andy Cohen has been front and center for the feud between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice, which has been going on for over a decade. So what does he have to say about all this?
Honestly, Andy is caught between a rock and a hard place– having known both women for several years and has probably been privy to information that we don’t even know.
But with the Trehuggers always armed and ready and Melissa’s team of soldiers also quick to defend her, it would be hard for the Bravo head honcho to pick a side.
Nonetheless, during a recent interview, Andy didn’t hesitate to sound off on the feuding sisters-in-law.
Melissa and Teresa have officially exhausted viewers with their hamster wheel of a feud, but hopefully, after the three-part reunion airs, this can finally be put to rest.
We’ve already seen part one, and so far, it’s not looking good for next season because the women cannot coexist. As for what that means for the future of RHONJ, we’ll just have to wait and see.
Andy Cohen says Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga both have ‘hurt feelings’
Andy Cohen was a recent guest on, Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, and during their chat, The Real Housewives of New Jersey became a topic of conversation.
Kelly, like most of us, confessed to being confused about the ongoing feud between Melissa and Teresa and why it cannot be put to rest.
“I think they’re both walking around with the institutional knowledge that they both have and the institutional hurt feelings, especially Teresa,” explained Andy.
The dad of two referenced how far back this feud goes and mentioned Teresa at the Season 12 reunion when she said she was still upset with Melissa for not changing her wedding date to accommodate her.
Teresa was pregnant at the time and a bridesmaid in Melissa and Joe’s wedding, but didn’t like how she looked.
“So this is now going back for 15 years,” said Andy. “She’s clearly not over it.”
Who is in the right in this RHONJ feud — Teresa Giudice or Melissa Gorga?
During his podcast chat, the RHONJ reunion host also gave his take on who is in the right between Teresa and Melissa.
However, Andy chose a very diplomatic answer.
“I think what’s interesting about it is… they’re both a little right,” he reasoned.
“I think they both have really good points, and I think that’s why it’s not so clearly cut about whose side to be on.”
Do you agree with Andy Cohen? If not, tell us whose side you’re on between these feuding Jersey women.
Part 2 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion airs Tuesday, June 6 at 8/7c on Bravo.
I think Teresa has done her course. She is not interesting and cannot coexist with anyone on the show, depending on what day it is, except her identical rude twin.. her now husband. She thinks this show is her show, and it is not. The other girls can make it exciting without being bullys
In the beginning I loved housewives of NJ. They had a real sense of friendship and family. Parties were fun to watch the husbands were a riot and watching the different phases in their lives got views tuned in with anticipation for what was to come.. Honestly the last few seasons have been abusive physically and emotionally. I can’t understand why BRAVO believes that giving Teresa and her soldier Jennifer the power to stir the pot and create a hostile environment among the other cast members is good TV. It is not fun viewers are fed up and if Melissa and Joe are not asked back after Teresa told Melissa she was leaving than BRAVO, the producers and Andy Cohen have no power over Teresa.
Additionally Teresa’s husband is up to no good. Teresa should watch her back with him a leopard doesn’t change its spots.
I think they should stay far away from each other and go on with their lives
Who changes their wedding because of someone else’s pregnancy??
That’s extremely narcissistic to ask and expect of someone!
I used to be a huge fan of Theresa’s but not so much.
To me it’s obvious that Teresa has issues, what did Melissa do? Nothing!!! Honestly if Melissa is not on the show then I won’t be watching!
Like Andy said, they are both a little right. Teresa truly is the Real Housewife of New Jersey. All the rest are supporting cast members. This show has chronicled her life for 13 years. Melissa & Joe are in it for Drama & Ratings . So many have come & gone . Definitely think Margaret has to go now if Teresa & Melissa are to mend fences and move on . Dolores is the only one worth keeping, because she is a genuine person. The rest of them are marginal characters. I would remove the new woman you added. Replace with new blood.
No way Dolores kisses Teresa A$$. Used to like her but no more . Get rid of Teresa, Jen and Dolores..
Melissa must go! She has always made sure that Joe never makes up with his sister. Melissa is very toxic person. The RHONJ would be better without Joe and Melissa. Please give them their pink slip.
When did the wedding date get planned? Before the big T got pregnant or after? Also, that info should come from Melissa and Joe not the big T.
I think Teresa needs to go. Melissa and Joe gets along with everyone. Teresa on the other hand is all about herself and the new husband. She thinks the show is about her. It is not the Teresa show. I would NOT watch a show about Teresa if there was.
You have to remember that Joe is Teresa’s baby brother. Any woman that Joe dated was an intruder who got between Teresa and HER baby brother. Now, Melissa is an attractive woman. To Teresa, she is that slut who used her feminine charms to steal HER baby brother away from her. Once you acknowledge that, everything else just falls into place.
Teresa should go. She’s very insulting and crass and thinks who the heck she is. I wonder how long her marriage to Louie will last once she’s booted. It’s obvious she’s jealous of Melissa. Honestly, I think the husbands are very entertaining. I’ve waited to see them on the reunion and think they should have their own show!
I just would like the Gorgas dirty laundry Aires like Teresa’s. Melissa is a master smoke and mirror queen. She quickly misleads people with careful words and gives the illusion she’s a straight up honest person. Which she clearly isn’t . I also hope bravo evens the playing field by bringing Laura and Melissa ex Bryan on camera at least to provide a perspective of their past . Teresa is the only one I blast and it’s very on sided
If they both got along it wouldnt have been a problem. Its got to the stage now where every slight becomes a “trying to take me down”. Clearly they have never liked each other, they never will like each other and they should just get out of each others face.
Please get rid of Theresa and her h
new husband. They are ruining the show.
