Tamra Judge and Teresa Giudice‘s drama continues. This time Tamra takes issue with Teresa bringing up her niece Antonia Gorga on a recent episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey!
If you remember, during the trip to Ireland, Rachel Fuda asks Teresa if her kids are close to Melissa Gorga‘s kids. Teresa explains that they used to be but notes that her daughter Milania Giudice was really hurt that Antonia missed her Sweet 16 party.
While Teresa said NOTHING bad about Antonia, Melissa accused Teresa of trying to drag their kids into the family drama and told her not to blame anything on Antonia, which Teresa made clear wasn’t her intention at all.
Melissa went on to tell Teresa:
You be that aunt. I’m not gonna be that aunt. Melissa To Teresa Giudice
Now, Melissa’s bestie Tamra Judge is coming to her defense on an episode of her and Teddi Mellencamp‘s Two T’s in a Pod podcast, according to Heavy.
The returning Real Housewives of Orange County star declared that she is now 100% Team Melissa.
“I am team — especially now — Melissa, one thousand percent. One thing that I really like about Joe [Gorga] and Melissa is they do not put their kids in the middle. And they do not say bad things about Teresa to their kids. And it’s nonstop. It’s like, don’t get the kids involved, don’t do it.”
On the other hand, Teddi believes that Teresa mentioned Antonia in the hope that “Melissa [would] look like she doesn’t try hard to make things happen.”
Tamra agreed, adding:
“Whenever Melissa tries to explain herself, Teresa shuts her down, ‘Oh tit for tat, oh you got to bring that up.’ Well, why is it okay for Teresa to bring it up?”
Furthermore, Melissa took issue with Teresa asking her son Gino Gorga to walk in the wedding. The 44-year-old accused Teresa of using Gino as a “prop” and was unhappy that Teresa asked Gino over Antonia.
On the RHONJ After Show, Melissa said:
“He’s not going to be the saving grace to say like ‘I had someone.’ I think she’s starting to realize, like, ‘Wow, this is a little of f–ked up that there’s not one person coming to the wedding that’s my real family.’ It’s weird to me that it’s Gino, still not Antonia. I mean, it’s the girl who usually picks the girls, and she’s jumping to Gino. She skipped right over Antonia.”
RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

This from Tamra…the woman who got a fellow actor drunk on the show and had her son try to bed her.
Apparently Tamra wants to push her into retaliating so she’ll have an excuse to spill the dirt she has on Teresa and the ex and Luis that she threatened to do if Teresa bashed her. Only saw Tamra on UGT so haven’t watched her much but sounds like they are an even match in the trashy dept, perhaps?
Tamra is really trying to spark this one-sided beef with Teresa lately. This is the 3rd time in a month she’s slammed Teresa. Meanwhile Tre is just living her best life.
Tamra needs to sip some tea and chill out. They are not even on the same franchise.
It’s giving scared, petty and envious. Wondering why Tamra’s coming in hot and so bothered…why?
Says the mother who tried to use “Parent Alienation” for a story-line and continued to put her oldest daughter on SM until her daughter finally cut ties…. Sure Tamra…
As we saw with this week”s scene of Milania and Audriana in the car (when Louie called) Teresa has obviously poisoned her dorters against Melissa, so she can stick a sock in it.
“While Teresa said NOTHING bad about Antonia, Melissa accused Teresa of trying to drag their kids into the family drama and told her not to blame anything on Antonia, which Teresa made clear wasn’t her intention at all.” Sure. Teresa said she thought the kids were good until Antonia didn’t attend Milania’s sweet 16. Anyone who isn’t a complete moron would understand she was implying Antonia caused a rift. And everyone knows Teresa would have gone berserk and thrown a violent temper tantrum if Melissa said to the other ladies that she though the kids were good until Gia didn’t attend Gino’s communion.
I still say that Louis is a problem, it’s all wrong, team gorga all the way, if only Melissa would get a set of nuts and tell her sister-in-law off, and how she really feels, and then let it go, put that scum bag in her place, she messes with u because she can, she also can’t think for herself, but u can Melissa, she is making a fool of u, stick up for your family u don’t have to mention her 4 amigos, but if anyone ever mentioned my mother the gloves r off, what do u have to lose , those two idiots getting married, please,enough said !
For once I agree with you. I think Tre had reached her limit and was done with the Gorgas.
But Luis doesn’t know how they operate, so he kept encouraging behind the scenes , trying to get them all together again.
His meddling is why there is so much back and forth in the family. Mel, Joe, Tre individually are each done, then Luis calls/talks to them and gets them to come again to the table. So they try.
Then another blowup. Rinse and repeat. But since all parties have done this dance before 100 times, they have a lot of wounds and hurts to get over. Decades of pain. It’s not something 1 Convo can fix. Luis wants peace/bygones be bygones. I don’t think he’s going to get his wish. At least, not this year.
Wasn’t it Tamra who immediately went to social media posting her daughters high school graduation after promising her daughter she wouldn’t…
Don’t forget using “Parent Alienation” for a story-line…
But it’s okay to block the nieces…LOL!
Yes, it’s ok to block the nieces when they’re talking badly and disrespectfully about your family. She didn’t speak badly about the girls, she simply blocked them. There was plenty she could have said about them and their parents but she took the high road and simply blocked them. When you’re done, you’re done.
Exactly, and if Gia (now a young woman) wants to play in the mud, she’s going to get a little dirty.
Has Tamra done anything else besides RHOC?
Failed Gym business, and hawking CBD count?
She was on UGT #2 but all she did was look after Vickie and that is the only time I ever saw her.
Tamara doing it for clout! Thirsty Tamara
News Flash! Tamra still thirsty for a fight with Teresa…. Teresa. living best life and ignoring Trashy Tamra
Either that or Teresa doesn’t want Tamra to go through with her threat to spill old dirt on her and Joe or more likely, dirt on Luis.
