Melissa Gorga weighs in on her relationship with Teresa Giudice
When chatting with ET, the Envy Boutique owner said of Teresa, "We don't even, like, look at each other."
"It is the new normal," she elaborated."I think it just is what it is. I always say it's unfortunate. I'll never be, like, happy about that. But we're all living, and we're happy, and sometimes things just need to take its course. Right now that's definitely how it is."
At BravoCon 2023 in November, Melissa further discussed her dynamics with Teresa. “It’s very different from last season," she admitted. "I think it’s different because there’s not a lot of communication. So, it's different and I think better, honestly."
“We’re at a place of peace. I think everyone needs a minute, everyone needs a break and there’s just a period on it right now," Melissa said during the BravoCon “In a Jersey State of Mind: Part 1” panel.

Melissa has also seen changes in her relationship with Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret Josephs, who used to be her close friends.
As Jackie shared with Page Six at BravoCon 2023, “There was a trust that got broken [with Margaret] and I don’t know that that’s so easily repaired."
Jackie also noted that she was "not sad" about the loss of the friendship, though fans began to speculate whether if it also fractured her relationship with Melissa (who is still close friends with Margaret).
"Nothing happened with Melissa," Jackie told InTouch Weekly. "So I don’t know if Melissa just jumped on what was happening with me and Margaret and made it hers. But I have no problem with Melissa, I never had an argument with Melissa. So I’m officially saying that I have no issue with Melissa."
