Teresa Giudice is cracking the door open for a possible reconciliation with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga.
Giudice — whose complicated relationship with and current estrangement from the Gorgas have been documented on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” for over a decade — hinted at her willingness to make amends with the couple in a new interview.
Stopping by “Jeff Lewis Live” with daughter Gia Giudice on Thursday, the radio show’s titular host noted that he would love to see the “one big, happy family” come back together in some capacity.
“I think the viewers would wanna see that, too,” Gia, 24, added. “I think there’s nothing more [to fight over] just because it’s been going on for so long. So obviously, they’re gonna wanna see some sort of resolution.”
When Lewis, 55, asked whether there was a world in which Teresa could “coexist” with Joe and Melissa, she replied, “Never say never,” as Gia elaborated, “I think everyone can coexist. Just put your big-girl panties on and be mature.”
Lewis suggested that Teresa, 53, not try to “recreate” the relationship she once had with her sibling, 51, and sister-in-law, 46, but rather “start a new one.”
“I mean, I guess we would have to see. Yeah, obviously,” she responded coyly, before stressing that she is not interested in rehashing anything from the past, as she thinks that would create “a clusterf–ck.”
“You just have to let it go and move on,” she added.
Gia interjected to say that “the only way that it would work is if both parties agree … really agree to let it go and not bring it up again ’cause then it would just be history repeating itself, which is also what everybody doesn’t want.”
When Lewis asked whether Teresa would “take the initiative to start the conversation,” she refused to commit, saying, “We’ll see what happens.”
Due to the extent of the divisiveness among the “RHONJ” Season 14 cast, the Bravo reality series was put on “pause” following a non-traditional reunion, which aired in August 2024.
Cameras reportedly picked back up last month with a few familiar faces — but not all of them — from last season.
“Some of the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ cast have test-filmed,” a source recently told Us Weekly. “There are potential new cast members who filmed with Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania and Melissa Gorga in mid-August.”
Test-filming is a common practice that reality showrunners do before production officially begins.
As the source explained, producers “want to see how the new girls work on camera with some veteran cast members from the show.”
Although Teresa did not test-film, the source claimed that the show OG is “still in consideration to be part of the new season.”
Teresa scoffed at the report in a subsequent interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” saying, “Obviously they’re not, because if they were filming, it would actually be out there. So it’s just speculation and people putting stories out there.
“You really can’t believe anything you read unless Bravo is saying it,” she insisted, noting that no “actual pictures” of anyone filming have been released.
When asked if she could provide any more information about the upcoming season, her response was to “DM [direct message] Andy Cohen.”
Teresa made similar remarks when the topic came up during her “Jeff Lewis Live” appearance. “Hello, you’re friends with Andy Cohen. Ask him!” she sniped.
As for why she was not involved in the reported test-shoot, Teresa told Lewis, “I mean, does the professor ever take the test?”
A rep for Bravo recently told Page Six that “no official casting decisions have been made.”
