Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga's nearly decade-old feud reared its ugly head on the *Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip*. During episode three, the sister-in-laws rehashed their conflicting stories on how Melissa joined the *Real Housewives of New Jersey* cast during season 3 of the franchise. *“Andy [Cohen] called me and said, ‘Your sister-in-law won’t stop DMing me. She wants to get on the show,’”* Teresa said after RHONY's Ramona Singer brought up the sensitive topic. However, Melissa remembers it differently. *“I never DMed him,”* Melissa told the *RHUGT* cast which includes Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Luann de Lesseps, and Kyle Richards. *“That’s what I’m telling you.”* Melissa explains that producers reached out to her on social media and expressed interest in her becoming a Housewife. *“They inboxed me,”* she said. *“They still reach out to all of my friends now, still looking for [new ‘Housewives’].”* Teresa noted that her main issue was hearing about Melissa's casting from Andy and not her sister-in-law. *“You and I were not friends at all. We weren’t speaking,”* Melissa fired back. The RHONJ OG added that she initially wasn't supportive of Melissa and Joe joining RHONJ during season 3 in 2011. *“To tell you the truth, I can’t remember why we weren’t talking — unless they were just mad that I wasn’t putting them on the show,”* Teresa said to which Melissa replied, *“We did not want to be on the show that way.”* *“I was like, ‘I don’t want to fight with my family.’ To me, family’s everything,”* Teresa quipped. *“Look what happened!”* *“When they called to interview me, [Bravo] then told you that,”* Melissa told Teresa. *“I didn’t know if we were going to do it or not. Of course, we interviewed for the show and of course, they wanted us. It’s a family show. Caroline was on the show, Dina was on the show. They want sister-in-laws. That’s what they want.”* Melissa added that she and Teresa *“will never agree.”* *“She has her story. I have my story,”* she said. *“She’s never going to admit it.”* The *Real Housewives of New Jersey* will return to Bravo in February 2022. ## Thoughts on this all?
