[Melissa Gorga](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2020/03/09/allabouttrh-exclusive-jennifer-aydin-has-no-regrets-from-part-one-of-the-reunion-responds-to-melissas-claims-that-she-does-teresa-giudices-dirty-work/) is making it known that there's no love lost between her, [Joe Gorga](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2021/02/17/kathy-wakiles-son-joseph-wakile-calls-melissa-and-joe-gorga-animals/), and their former brother-in-law Joe Giudice. In a new interview with [PEOPLE](https://people.com/tv/rhonj-melissa-gorga-husband-joe-have-no-relationship-with-joe-giudice/), the *Real Housewives of New Jersey* star reveals that she and Joe have not maintained a relationship with [Teresa Giudice](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2020/03/07/allabouttrh-exclusive-teresa-giudice-opens-up-about-joe-giudice-and-responds-to-her-brother-sister-in-law-talking-poorly-about-him-plus-more/)'s now ex-husband. *"We have no relationship with him,"* Melissa confesses. *"We don't talk."* After years of family drama, Melissa says she and Joe chose to distance themselves from Giudice following his prison release and [move to Italy](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2021/02/17/joe-giudice-goes-instagram-official-with-girlfriend-daniela-fittipaldi/). *"[Giudice and Gorga] have bumped heads forever, and it's just like, what's the point?"* she explains. *"It's easier to keep the peace from a distance."* *"I wish him well; I know his daughters love him so much, and I wish him well,"* she adds. *"But we really just don't have a relationship."* Their lack of communication with Giudice hasn't halted their family drama; in fact, this season, the infamous Gorga/Giudice feud seems to reignite in a major way. In a preview of [season 11](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2020/11/03/allabouttrh-exclusive-rhonj-season-11-drama-and-feuds-teresa-giudice-vs-jackie-goldschneider/), Gorga becomes enraged when he hears that Joe is badmouthing him in the press, claiming he knows things about Gorga's marriage and business. *"How dare him say he's got dirt on me?"* Gorga demands. He becomes further enraged when Teresa defends her ex-husband. *"You're going to defend him?"* Gorga yells at Teresa. *"F--- that piece of s---. He put my mother in a f---ing grave. Do you understand that?"* Reflecting on the season 11 drama, [Melissa admits she and Joe are fighting a losing battle when it comes to Teresa](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2021/02/13/melissa-gorga-is-done-defending-teresa-giudice-plus-joe-giudice-fires-back-says-melissa-needs-to-shut-the-f-up/). According to the Envy boutique owner, it's a mistake she won't make again in the future. *"We are done backing Teresa up and sticking up for her,"* she says. *"We're just going to mind our own business because we are always damned if we do and damned if we don't."* *"Even when we're totally team Teresa, we're doing something wrong,"* she adds. *"I'm done. I'm done doing the right thing, getting in trouble, not doing the right thing, getting in trouble. I'm over it."* However, Melissa insists she will always have love for her sister-in-law despite the ups and downs in their relationship. *"We're fine. It's always been what it's been. We go back and forth with each other,"* she says. *"I think as a family; we do a good job of being on reality TV and keeping it together."* *[Season 11](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2021/02/16/melissa-gorga-says-rhonj-fans-will-see-struggles-in-her-marriage-to-joe-during-season-11-admits-its-not-easy/)*of RHONJ airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. ## Thoughts on Melissa's comments?
