Melissa Gorga’s attempt to discredit Teresa Giudice’s role in building the RHONJ franchise was shut down swiftly by Andy Cohen on Sunday’s Watch What Happens Live episode.
On the May 12 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Melissa Gorga if she’d rather have lunch with Danielle Staub or Teresa Giudice.
“Would you rather have lunch with Danielle Staub or hang out with Teresa Giudice?” Andy asked the RHONJ star.
“I wanna have lunch with Danielle. She created this franchise. We can’t forget that,” Melissa replied, obviously taking a shot at Teresa, the only remaining OG on the RHONJ franchise.
“[She created this franchise] with four other women, yes, including Teresa,” Andy clarified, referring to the RHONJ season one cast, which consisted of Teresa Giudice, Danielle Staub, Jacqueline Laurita, Caroline Manzo, and Dina Manzo.
Elsewhere in the episode, Andy asked if Melissa’s three kids – Antonia, Gino, and Joey Gorga were in contact with Teresa’s four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana Giudice.
Melissa admitted that they don’t see each other but are in contact.
“They text happy birthday and all that. They don’t hang out, but they text,” Melissa said.
RHONJ airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.
