Well, it’s not about mending their relationship — it’s all about business. Yes, the sisters want to save the show that made them famous and keep their careers on track. Let’s take a closer look at what’s really going on between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga.
More business than friendship
Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga have had a fiery relationship for several years. Their feuds have been a staple of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, keeping fans hooked each season. But now, things have reached a critical point. A source close to the situation says the show’s future is at risk if they don’t find a way to get along.
Teresa and Melissa are putting their differences aside, but not for the sake of the family. According to Life & Style, an insider said, “This isn’t about mending broken hearts or repairing their shattered relationship. No, it’s all about business.” And, because the show’s ratings are dropping, the network needs new drama to keep viewers engaged. “The future of the show is at risk. If Teresa and Melissa don’t get involved, the whole franchise could be in trouble,” the source said.
Working together to keep your career on track
Although Teresa and Melissa are not friends, they both understand the importance of working together. It helps keep their reality TV careers on track and the paychecks coming. The insider added, “Let’s be honest. They can’t stand each other, but they’re smart enough to know they have to work together if they want to keep getting a paycheck!”
The decision to stop their feud is purely business-related. The sisters have no plans to resolve their personal issues or mend their sisterly relationship. They are doing this to keep The Real Housewives of New Jersey on the air and to keep their income.
