Your First Look at The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 Reunion

When Part 1 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 reunion aired on May 3, it included Teresa Giudice and her brother, Joe Gorga, having an emotional exchange that led to him walking off the stage (clip above). While viewers will have to wait to see what happens next for the Garden State siblings amid their drama as the reunion continues, the RHONJ cast member recently addressed their issues on social media.

In the comments section of an Instagram that Joe posted late last week, Teresa reflected on the emotional moments with her brother that took place during the reunion. “I am so sorry did not mean that at all there was so much going on during the taping that I lost myself. Love you tons,” she wrote, adding, “XOXO.”

She also opened up about her tense conversation with her brother in an interview with Us Weekly, noting, “I never wanna fight with him,” and adding, in part, “He’s my only sibling. I absolutely adore him. Like, he’s my baby brother [and] no matter what, I’ll always take the fall for him [because] I’m the older sister.”

After Part 1 of the reunion aired, Joe posted an Instagram the following day that read, “I have learned 3 lessons this year. To leave people where they are at, accept situations for what they are, and not every action needs a reaction.” He captioned the photo, “What an education.”
