Fans are reacting to Melissa Gorga’s mother Donna Marco after she made a shady comment about Melissa’s sister-in-law Teresa Giudice – which Donna then deleted.
Though Donna has made several controversial comments about Teresa online in the past, Melissa expected her to invite Donna to her wedding to Luis Ruelas in 2022. When she didn’t, Melissa was outraged.
Melissa and her husband Joe Gorga – who’s featured often on Real Housewives of New Jersey – are no longer speaking to Teresa, his sister.
Though Donna deleted the comment amid the fan backlash, one user took a screenshot before it disappeared.
Donna was commenting on a video of Teresa from behind a bar as she poured tequila down a guy’s throat.
“Copy whatever your brother does,” wrote Donna in a comment shared by @rhonj_fact_vs_lies_ on Instagram, referring to Joe’s go-to move at parties on the show.
Fans then reacted in the comments.

“This right here is the reason you were not invited to the wedding,” wrote the account who shared the post.
“Joe Gorga invented pouring liquor according to Melissa’s family,” said another.
“Her daughter has been copying Teresa for 20 years but OK,” wrote a third fan.
“That’s where Melissa gets the pettiness to keep it going,” said a fourth. “And Teresa is so over them. How embarrassing.”
“She went on a blocking spree and blocked half of the people who said something 😂 she should’ve kept her mouth closed,” expressed a fifth.
Some fans did come to Donna’s defense with one writing, “Those are very rude comments to a 75 yr old..sad☹️.”
Another stated, “Right, because Teresa has been SUCH a stand up sister and aunt?? She Talks behind Zia Melisa’s back to their aunt?? Those girls know way too much.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on hiatus, though some reports have claimed it might not come back at all. Some fans suspect that Melissa and Margaret Josephs are trying to oust Teresa from the show, which she started as an OG castmate in 2009.
Castmate Frank Catania said he heard Teresa was asked to leave.
