No regrets!

Melissa Gorga’s conscience is clear after ending her friendship with sister-in-law and Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star Teresa Giudice.

“I truly feel like I have hit every avenue,” Melissa revealed to Dylan Hafer on Monday’s episode of Betches’ “Mention It All” podcast. “I have no guilt.”

The Envy boutique owner admits she feels “a little free” after she and Teresa made a pact to stop pretending they like each other at the RHONJ season 12 reunion.

“It’s OK to say that [Teresa and I] don’t have the best relationship, and I don’t feel guilty saying that because I tried really hard, and I know that I tried hard — for my in-laws and for [my husband] Joe [Gorga],” she continued.

“[My in-laws] are not here anymore, and now … it is sad to see [Joe] not have family,” Melissa added.

Melissa reveals that her final straw with Teresa came when she watched back their interactions during season one of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

“When I went back and watched ‘Ultimate Girls Trip,’ I was watching some of the scenes they filmed Teresa and I together on the plane, and we were in the car, and I remember looking at her and genuinely saying, ‘This is exciting that we get to do this together and this is something fun. We’ll have these memories that we did something fun for when we get older,’” she explained.

Melissa noted that watching season 12 and her and Joe’s reunion drama with Teresa was the icing on the cake and cemented her decision to cut Teresa out.

“She kind of just rolled her eyes and looked at me,” Melissa added. “Between that and watching [this] season [of ‘RHONJ’], I just feel like I tried, and I’m good.”

While Melissa admits that she wants to have a “good relationship” with Teresa, she ultimately feels that her loyalty to the RHONJ OG has never been reciprocated.

“That was another thing I watched and thought, ‘I feel like I give up,’” she said.

Melissa says she hopes to never discuss her and Joe’s issues with Teresa on RHONJ again when it comes to moving forward with her sister-in-law.

“We are all, as a cast, sick of it,” she confessed. “Does anybody really wanna see Teresa, Melissa, and Joe argue and make up to break up? Just leave it alone!”

She explained, “I don’t care if we never talked about it again. You have me all f–ked up, and you got it twisted. I don’t want to talk about Teresa or the family, never again if it was up to me.”

Teresa has publicly apologized to Joe for her behavior at the reunion and admitted she “lost” herself.

Season 13 of RHONJ is set to begin production on Monday, May 23. It will be curious to see what happens between Teresa, Joe, and Melissa throughout season 13.

There seems to be more bad blood between the Gorgas and Giudices than any Bravo fan ever could have imagined.

Joe and Melissa Gorga are still holding a grudge against Teresa Giudice following the Real Housewives of New Jersey season 12 reunion.

The reality TV couple recently appeared together on an episode of Melissa’s ‘On Display’ podcast, where they did a deep dive into their issues with Teresa.

According to Melissa and Joe, Teresa owes them a thank you for her prison special, Teresa Checks In. The two believe that the only reason Teresa and her ex-husband Joe Giudice could have her spinoff show was because of them.

To start, Melissa and Joe said that Teresa should be happy they joined RHONJ because they ultimately helped keep the franchise going while she was in prison and gave her a show to come back to.

“I couldn’t imagine my sister not being happy that I was here or calling me a b-tch,” Melissa of Teresa’s reaction to her joining RHONJ during season 3.

She then turned to Joe and noted that it was history repeating itself.

“It’s a shame because your father did this with his sister, and it’s kind of like, history repeating itself, and it’s extremely sad,” she added.

“When [Teresa] got out [of prison], we were able to cast all of these new people. We kept the core of the show going. It would have just turned into the show that she had for three episodes, which Joe Giudice did on his own,” Melissa said.

“You’re being too nice,” Joe quipped.

He explained: “How about ‘Thank you?’ Because when she was in prison, Joe [Giudice] wasn’t working at all either. So they had no income. If we weren’t on the show, their kids would not still be living in that house and have food and have whatever they had.”

Melissa added, “Joe Giudice needed to make money on that show (special), and he needed someone to film with, and here we were – we jumped in so that the Teresa went to prison special was able to be made because he had us to bounce off of.”

When it comes to what Joe and Melissa would have done if roles were reversed and they joined RHONJ before Teresa, Joe said,  “You know what I would do? I would bring my entire family in, my family, your family, because let’s make this show great as a family. Let’s all capitalize on family. Not, ‘I don’t want you on the show.’ Look at the Kardashians.”

As for why he walked off the RHONJ season 12 reunion set, Joe confessed, “Twelve years later, I just saw that hate. She’s got like this anger and this hate for us, and I’m like, ‘Wow, I’m done. I want off.’”
