Melissa Gorga doesn’t mince words about co-stars Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin during the current season The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
“I just think it’s so awful on social media and how it looks to my sister-in-law and Jen [have] it’s done quite unpleasantly for them and quite disgusting,” Gorga told Page Six on Wednesday, May 8, at the Food Bank’s Gotham Ball in New York City.
The television personality (45) added that “at this moment she is simply embarrassed for them”, but did not clarify for the newspaper what she meant.
While Gorga didn’t share additional details, during the season 14 premiere that aired Sunday, May 5, Giudice, 51, and Aydin, 47, shared rumors on social media about their co-stars during the episode.

Giudice told Ayda the rumors about their co-star Rachel Fuda’s husband, John Fuda, being a “drug dealer” and into “kinky s—” en route to a surprise birthday party for co-star Jennifer Fessler. Her surprise party was attended by all the cast members and their loved ones – except for Giudice’s husband, Luis Ruelas.
After the entire group was at the party, Giudice argued with both Rachel and John, yelling to the packed room that she heard from John’s ex-wife and social media that he was “the biggest drug dealer in Bergen County”.

Although the season has only just begun and it’s unclear what Gorga is referring to when she talks about the “disgraceful” behavior of Aydin and her sister-in-law, the season teasers show that the family members have not been communicating with each other all season.
This follows the pair’s epic breakup after season 13, which ended with Giudice telling Gorga at the reunion, “I can’t wait to never look at your face again after today.”

On Sunday, Gorga exclusively shared with PEOPLE that their relationship was over after that reunion.
Gorga explained that Giudice’s comments did not bother her. “I was indifferent because the harsher someone goes and barks orders, the more you just say, ‘Okay, sit down,'” she said. “And you know what? It’s been so many years, and I just laugh at everything they say or do at this point. I’m like, ‘Okay…'”
“There’s just no need. I don’t have to comment on it,” Gorga told PEOPLE of her decision not to talk about her sister-in-law in the Season 14 confessionals. “I don’t need to talk about it… It’s something that I just, I don’t want to say I don’t care about, but I just don’t care anymore,” adding, “Go ahead and talk about something else.”
