Melissa and Teresa talk about the pizza gate issue at the RHONJ After Show
Season 13 of RHONJ brought up several issues to the forefront, including personal relationships and strained friendships but the Gorga-Giudice family drama took precedence over everything as viewers witnessed the gradual fallout between the Gorgas and Teresa Giudice.
In one of the earlier episodes of RHONJ, Joe Gorga addressed his concerns with Teresa Giudice's now-husband Louie Ruelas. He expressed how he came up with the idea for a pizza business that he wanted to do with his sister Teresa, but the latter jumped ship with her husband Louie.
Teresa, for her part, expressed that her husband was the one who put the money in and that the Gorgas wanted their share without even putting any money. At the After Show interview, both Melissa and Teresa decided to clarify their issues.
Melissa revealed that her husband had originally planned on doing the pizza business with her, but she suggested he do it with his sister. The couple then called Teresa and Louie over and discussed the prospect of the business, which they were going to call Nonno's Pizza.
The housewife revealed how Louie, who they'd known for only over two months seemed elated with the idea and thought it was "genius." Teresa, for her part, justified her husband's actions by stating that he thought Joe was only helping his sister and her daughters out with the business.
Teresa explained that even after she advised her husband to put it in writing, he didn't do it because he trusted Joe Gorga. Melissa revealed that the couple left her husband out of all the emails and began it as their business, behind Joe's back. Teresa, however, claimed that her brother was on all the emails.
Melissa revealed that she found out about Teresa and her daughters doing their Skinny Italian pizza business from her photographer, indicating that they stole the idea from Joe. Her co-star expressed that she was only following what Louie was telling her to do.
Teresa revealed that they wanted a 50% share but hadn't put the money for it. Melissa expressed that they could have paid a set amount easily, but Louie went ahead and paid the first $100,000 for the ovens without the Gorgas knowing. She expressed that Teresa and her husband were only building a narrative about her and Joe not putting any money when all of it was done behind their back.
