“That Woman Is Disgusting!”: Melissa Gorga Declares War On Teresa Giudice Over Vile Antonia Allegations, Threatens Legal Action That Could Destroy The RHONJ Dynasty Forever
The Real Housewives of New Jersey has always thrived on family drama, but Teresa Giudice’s latest claim may be her most controversial yet. During a heated exchange, Teresa reportedly alleged that Melissa’s daughter, Antonia, begged her mother to quit the show, suggesting Melissa was prioritizing fame over family.
The remark, laced with implication that Melissa is an inattentive mother, sent shockwaves through the RHONJ cast and struck at the very core of Melissa’s identity.
Melissa’s Explosive Clapback
Melissa, 44, wasted no time firing back, calling Teresa’s comments “vile” and “unforgivable.” “I don’t give a damn. That woman is disgusting, literally disgusting. All she wants to do is destroy my family and everything I have,” Melissa fumed in an off-camera Q&A.
Her rage only grew as she questioned Teresa’s motives:
but it won’t “I don’t know why she does it. Maybe she needs attention. Maybe someone needs to pat her on the back like a little puppy be me.”
Melissa even hinted at legal action if Teresa continued dragging Antonia into Housewives drama.
The Legal Angle
Behind the scenes, Bravo insiders confirmed Melissa has discussed the possibility of seeking legal counsel. “This isn’t Housewives shade anymore,” one insider revealed. “Bringing kids into it is dangerous territory. Melissa feels Teresa crossed a line, and she’s ready to fight back in court if she has to.”
Melissa Slams Teresa’s Past
As if her fury wasn’t enough, Melissa took the opportunity to dredge up some of Teresa’s most infamous scandals. “I’m not taking parenting advice from a woman who went to prison for fraud. A woman who put her kids through hell because of her choices. That’s disgusting.”
Melissa also referenced Teresa’s rocky marriage to ex-husband Joe Giudice, adding fuel to the fire.
“Don’t lecture me on family when your own house was crumbling for years. I will never forget what you put Gia and your other girls through.”
Cast Reactions
The RHONJ cast was left reeling by the intensity of the feud. Dolores Catania tried to play mediator: “This has gone too far. Bringing kids into it is off-limits.”
Margaret Josephs sided with Melissa: “Teresa loves to play the victim, but she’s the one throwing grenades. Melissa’s right to be furious.”
Jennifer Aydin, ever Teresa’s ally, defended her: “Teresa didn’t mean harm. Melissa’s overreacting.”
Fan Outrage
Fans immediately took to social media, with the majority slamming Teresa for dragging Antonia into Housewives drama. “Kids are off limits. Teresa crossed a line.”
“Melissa may be dramatic, but she’s defending her daughter. Respect.”
“Teresa’s jealousy of Melissa is showing again. Same old story.”
Still, some die-hard Teresa fans defended her, arguing that Melissa was using her daughter as a shield.
Bravo’s Dilemma
For Bravo, this feud is both a nightmare and a ratings goldmine. The network has strict rules about keeping children out of storylines, yet the Gorga vs. Giudice feud has always been the franchise’s beating heart.
One producer admitted:
“It’s explosive, it’s messy, and it’s uncomfortable. But it’s also what keeps fans coming back.”
A Family Torn Apart
What makes this feud so painful is that it’s not just Housewives drama -it’s family. Melissa and Teresa are sisters-in-law, bound by their marriages into the Gorga-Giudice dynasty. But with Teresa allegedly dragging Antonia into the fight, Melissa says the family bond has been permanently damaged.
“You don’t bring kids into it. Ever. That’s a line you don’t cross, and Teresa crossed it.”
Conclusion: A War With No End in Sight
The war between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice has always defined RHONJ, but this latest blow-up may be the most irreparable yet. With accusations of bad motherhood, prison scandals, and legal threats on the table, the drama has reached new heights – and the fallout could change the show forever.
As Melissa warned:
“Teresa thinks she can come for my family. Well, this time, I’m not staying quiet.”
DWTS to bring in big changes next season including all-new ‘modern’ fan voting process
DANCING With the Stars plans on bringing some big shakeups to the ballroom next season – including a change that will give the show a more ‘modern’ spin, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
The big shift comes off of season 34’s historic year, which included a record-high number of over 50 million fans voting from home.
With the increase in voting, which was up 11% from the previous week, ABC executives have been weighing the options of how they can lean even more into the process.
Currently, the main way to vote for DWTS contestants and the pros is by texting the celebrity’s name to the code 21523.
However, production is looking into how they can implement more modern technology, such as social media, into the process.
“While this season has seen an increase in ratings and votes, execs are looking into how they can modernize their voting process.

“As of right now, they do it old school with texting a number to vote for a celeb.
“The execs have been adamant about integrating things like social media into the voting process, specifically TikTok.
“It hasn’t been ironed out yet, but they’re trying to make voting more accessible and want it to reach a wider audience for season 35,” the source claimed.
In addition to texting, viewers can also go to dwtsvote.abc.com; however, the majority of the votes still come from texting.
Currently, voting is limited to 10 votes per person and per method of voting.
Voting is also only allowed during the window the show airs live on the East Coast and varies by time zone, which is regularly encouraged by show hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro.
While voting has always been done primarily by text messaging, the time window is a more recent change to the show.
In 2019, DWTS implemented the current protocol of voting only being allowed during the live East Coast feed – meaning those in other time zones wouldn’t get to vote when their show aired.
DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba slammed by two furious pros for ‘unfair’ critiques after fans call for her to be fired
While the move was labeled as “unfair” by many, the show has continued with the method.
BALLROOM BUST?
The current season of DWTS has been a huge success for ABC and Disney – but it has not been met without its fair share of drama.
Throughout the season, the judging panel has been called out by both the pros and by viewers at home for low scores and harsh comments towards select contestants.
Fans have also accused judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough of “overscoring” their “favorite” contestants, including The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Whitney Leavitt.
Things have apparently gotten to the point where members of the show felt the need to confront production over the direction it’s heading.
“There are a handful of pros, both some who are still on the show and some who have already been eliminated, who are fed up with how they are being treated.
“Some feel the judges have been harsher than they needed to be to them, which not only impacts scores, but it also impacts how the at-home viewers see the season.
“It impacts who they vote for and who they want to watch week by week.
“Other pros like Alan and Pasha feel extra protective of their partners and feel the judges have been too harsh on them.
“Multiple pros have stepped up to meet with production over the judges’ bias and are demanding some kind of change and more fairness moving forward.
“What that change looks like is still to be determined, but they at least got the conversation rolling,” a source claimed.
Dancing With the Stars season 34 airs on Tuesdays at 8pm EST on ABC and is available to stream the following day on Disney+ and Hulu.
