Well, they’re going there!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 9 Episode 5 did not lack for drama. 

The reason? Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga are more at odds than ever, and it’s making for a healthy dose of drama on a weekly basis.

The latest twist in the tale occurred when Teresa dragged her brother, Joe Gorga, for not spending time with their father, Giacinto. 

“Get the f*** outta here,” Joe yelled as he stormed out of Teresa’s home, and shouting:

“Shove it up your f***ing ass! You’ve always gotta bitch.”

“I’ve gotta go back to work. Is that OK with you, or am I a scumbag for working?” Joe said as he exited the scene. 

If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online, you know that Joe has said that his work has kept him super busy, thinking that makes up for the lack of time he spends with his father.

Teresa has long blamed sister-in-law Melissa for the way Joe acted, and that’s clearly why their feud is starting to go into overdrive again. 

It all came to a head at a children’s party that Jennifer Aydin hosted for everyone. 

Teresa complained that Melissa was the one who was the problem and that she was “getting him all amped up,” or something. 

Jackie then decided enough was enough and defended Melissa. 

“She’s entitled to talk to her husband in the way that she feels comfortable,” the new addition to the cast said.

Jackie continued to defend Melissa, adding:

“I give you credit because I would’ve gotten up and stormed away from the f***ing table.”

Jackie even ruffled Jennifer’s feathers because the latter seemed to think you could control your man. 

“The idea that you can control your husband is ridiculous. If you can control him then that means you have a husband without a backbone,” Jackie seethed. 

The drama went into overdrive when Teresa told Jackie to “mind your own business” before yelling that she was to stop messing with her family.

That’s when Jackie went for the jugular and uttered the following words:

“Do you really feel like your husband would be in jail right now if you could control what he did?”

Everyone was blindsided, and Teresa managed to respond without actually throwing a table. 

“Why are you bringing up my husband and where he is?” Teresa calmly quizzed, but she saved her rage for a confessional. 

“How dare she throw it in my face that my husband’s away. Who the f*** does this bitch think she is?” Teresa shrieked, adding:

“Jackie’s lucky that Milania just walked in because I’m not gonna fight in front of my daughter. This isn’t f***ing over.”

As for Jackie, she took to a confessional to drag Teresa some more. 

“I think Teresa is used to bulldozing Melissa with her BFF Dolores, but I won’t stand for that. If you’re a bitch, I’ll call you out on it. And if you don’t like it, that’s your problem, not mine.”

Melissa was thankful for Jackie but knew it would only spell further drama. 

“I appreciate Jackie backing me up. But I know Teresa – when you say something that stings her she does not forget. I do not think this is going to be good for the two of them.”

Elsewhere, Melissa asked both of her sisters Lysa and Kim whether they had a secret half-sister.

Oh yes, the show is killing it this season. 

Apparently, Melissa attended a psychic who said that her father had a message for her:

She had three sisters!

“I mean we heard things about him being unfaithful, but a child? Never!” said Lysa. 

“Throughout my childhood, my dad would leave the house sometimes and come back a couple of days later,” Teresa added in a confessional.

“Is it a possibility that he was with another woman, or creating another child? Yeah, there’s definitely a possibility of that.”

“I have watched my mom cry for years over my father. He would always just apologize for not coming home.”

Okay then. This might be the most intriguing storyline on the show in quite some time.
