During the BravoCon panel on Sunday, November 5, Teresa Giudice firmly stated that the chapter with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga, is closed. With her parents no longer around, Teresa emphasized her focus on family, respect, and trust. However, this declaration didn't sit well with some Bravo fans.
Teresa remained unaffected by the booing she received for her answer, as well as other instances, during the RHONJ panel at BravoCon. The panel was divided into two parts, with half of the cast appearing on Saturday, November 4, and the other half on Sunday.
Just two days before her panel, Teresa expressed similar feelings during an exclusive interview with We on BravoCon's first day, Friday, November 3.
Teresa declined to comment on the conflict with Joe and Melissa, stating, "I would rather not discuss it. It has been going on for quite some time, and I have moved on from it."
Throughout the weekend, tensions were palpable among the RHONJ cast, particularly as they wrapped up filming for the show's 14th season. It is reported that Teresa chose not to engage with or communicate with the Gorgas throughout the entire filming process of the upcoming episodes.

Teresa explained that filming with Melissa and Joe without speaking wasn't necessarily easier. She mentioned the need to closely observe the show and how it consistently revolved around the same conflicts. Teresa expressed hope for the show's continuation but emphasized the importance of watching the season to find out what happens. According to a source in September, Teresa and Melissa were maintaining a distance from each other during the filming of the show.
According to a source, Melissa is willing to film and have conversations with Teresa on camera, but Teresa is not. As a result, producers are focusing on capturing other stories. Since joining the show in season 3, Joe and Melissa have had a strained relationship with Teresa and her family. This tension was evident from the start, as the season 3 premiere in 2011 featured an altercation between Joe and Teresa's ex-husband, Joe Giudice, highlighting the extent of their feud.
Afterward, Teresa and the Gorgas have encountered numerous highs and lows in their relationship. Periods of familial bliss have been fleeting, often overshadowed by subsequent conflicts.
During the second segment of BravoCon's RHONJ panel on Sunday, Teresa's ongoing feud with her brother and sister-in-law wasn't the sole focus of discussion. A question arose regarding her potential return to RHONJ in the future.
Following the season 13 reunion in June, speculations circulated regarding the possible departure of either Teresa or Melissa from the show. However, both of them came back to shoot season 14. During the recent Sunday episode, Teresa firmly stated that there are no signs suggesting the conclusion of her tenure as a Housewife, asserting, "I'll stay until Bravo decides to let me go."
