Melissa Gorga is relieved that Teresa Giudice's daughter, Milania, is doing well after her frightening car accident. However, their ongoing family drama is preventing her from reaching out to offer her support.

"I'm really happy she's okay," the 45-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star shared with Extra's Billy Bush on Wednesday, May 22. When asked if she had reached out to the 18-year-old following the accident, Melissa explained, "Right now, no one is speaking to each other because of everything that has happened."

On Friday, May 17, Milania was in a car crash in New Jersey. Her Mercedes-Benz convertible collided with another car, as reported by TMZ. There was some disagreement at the scene about who was at fault, but thankfully, no one was injured.

When Bush mentioned that Gorga reaching out to Milania could be a step towards repairing their family bond, the reality star felt hesitant. She didn't feel like she should be the one to make amends, especially after the previous drama with Giudice regarding Melissa's marriage to Joe Gorga, who is Giudice's brother.

"She's never been happy for us," she said. "She's never supported us. She even called my husband... I know she'll claim, 'They made my wedding all about them.' But that's not true. You made it about us by leaving us out of everything. Just do the right thing and keep the peace, right? Keep the peace."

Melissa revealed that not only was she left off the guest list for Giudice's 2022 wedding to Luis Ruelas, but her sister-in-law also lost her trust when she reportedly spoke negatively about her.

"Inviting my husband to your house and trying to paint me as a bad wife to your new fiancé whom you just met," she remembered, "I've been happily married for almost 20 years with three wonderful children."

Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga have not been speaking since the drama started in season 13 of RHONJ. Teresa and her fiancé Luis Ruelas tried to talk to Melissa's husband Joe about rumors of Melissa cheating, but their argument led to Joe and Melissa skipping Teresa and Luis' wedding.

We did not attend your sister’s wedding for various reasons. Melissa, who has denied infidelity claims, mentioned on her “On Display” podcast in August 2022 that something happened at the end of filming The Real Housewives of New Jersey. However, she cannot disclose the exact details or discuss anything filmed.

The drama carried over into filming for season 14, where Melissa and Giudice did not appear together on screen. Both are in agreement about not resolving the tension.

Melissa shared during her podcast that it took some time for the family to come to terms with the situation. She mentioned that there has been very little communication among the divided family. Melissa expressed that now everyone seems to be at peace with the current situation, and everyone, including the other side, is happier.

Editor's P/S:

The ongoing family drama between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice has reached a point where they are not speaking to each other. This is despite the fact that Teresa's daughter, Milania, was recently involved in a car accident. Melissa has expressed relief that Milania is okay but has not reached out to offer her support due to the ongoing tension between the families.

Melissa feels that she should not be the one to make amends after the negative comments that Teresa has made about her marriage. She also revealed that she was not invited to Teresa's wedding and that Teresa had reportedly spoken negatively about her to her new fiancé. The drama has carried over into filming for season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, where Melissa and Teresa have not appeared together on screen. It is unclear when or if the two will be able to resolve their differences.
