Melissa Gorga considered boycotting Teresa Giudice's wedding for the first time after an explosive argument with her sister-in-law on Tuesday's episode of RHONJ.
The 44-year-old reality star blasted Teresa, 50, while on a bus ride together during a group trip to Ireland just weeks before her wedding to Luis 'Louie' Ruelas, 47.
Melissa exploded after show newcomer Rachel Fuda, 31, asked Teresa if her children were close with Melissa's children.
'Well, they were, and then Antonia didn't come, like, to...,' Teresa said before Melissa quickly cut her off.
'Are you gonna blame Antonia for something right now?,' Melissa demanded.

Teresa denied that she was blaming her 17-year-old niece, but then brought up that Antonia did not attend the Sweet 16 party for her daughter Milania in February 2022.
'Don't even say her name if you're gonna. Don't say her name,' Melissa told Teresa, who promptly ignored her warning.
'Well, Milania was so hurt that Antonia didn't go to her Sweet 16. Milania said, ''Well I celebrated her, I wish she would've celebrated me'',' Teresa said.
'She had a cheer competition she wasn't able to miss, 'cause she already missed one. If you miss two you're off the cheer team,' Melissa explained.
Teresa countered that Antonia could have come after her competition at least for an hour.
'She would have, but she was, like, in Pennsylvania. The same way when Gabriella has a soccer tournament she can't make it to Gino's communion. I mean, what are you saying?,' Melissa said.
'Oh, my God. ...It's always tit for tat,' Teresa said.
'It's not. I have to come back with you with facts,' Melissa hollered back. 'Like, you're saying it in a negative light. It's your niece, like, chill.'
Blamed niece: Teresa Giudice told her friends that her niece Antonia did not go to the Sweet 16 party for her daughter Milania in February 2022
Cheer competition: 'She had a cheer competition she wasn't able to miss, 'cause she already missed one. If you miss two you're off the cheer team,' Melissa explained
Fed up: 'She would have, but she was, like, in Pennsylvania. The same way when Gabriella has a soccer tournament she can't make it to Gino's communion. I mean, what are you saying?,' Melissa said
'I didn't say she was bad,' Teresa said.
'What do you wanna prove? That you'll go so low that you'll even say your niece is doing something wrong now?,' Melissa said in a confessional.
Margaret Josephs, 56, spoke up and said they were not helping with their already strained family situation by bringing children into it.
'You be that aunt. I'm not going to be that aunt,' Melissa said.
'I think I'm an amazing aunt,' Teresa said.
'Oh, yeah, amazing,' Melissa said sarcastically.
Teresa declared that it was important to her that their children stay close despite constant feuding with her brother Joe Gorga.
Going low: 'What do you wanna prove? That you'll go so low that you'll even say your niece is doing something wrong now?,' Melissa said in a confessional
'Well, of course. It would help if I was in your wedding and you showed an example of what closeness is. So you're not helping the situation,' Melissa said.
'If I felt the love, I would have gave it right back to you,' Teresa shot back.
Melissa later told Margaret that she was reaching her breaking point with Teresa.
'I almost wanna look her in the eye and be like, 'This is vile, and I need to cut the cancer out. I'm done,' Melissa said.
Melissa in a confessional said she was tired of being on 'this rollercoaster with Teresa' for nearly 20 years.
She later told Joe about her fight with his sister.
'To bring the kids into it, to me, as a mom ...all-time low,' she told her husband Joe on the phone. 'At this point, I feel so far gone from her, Joe. Like, for the first time ever it ran through my body. I'm not sure we belong at the wedding.'
'You know what her goal is? To push us to not go, so we look bad. You know that, right?,' Joe said.
'I don't know,' Melissa told him.
'I don't know. I have one sister and this is where we're at right now, right? It's sad,' Joe said.
Joe and Melissa did not attend Teresa's wedding last August.
The Real Housewives Of New Jersey will return next week on Bravo.
Over it: 'I almost wanna look her in the eye and be like, 'This is vile, and I need to cut the cancer out. I'm done,' Melissa said
Wedding doubts: To bring the kids into it, to me, as a mom ...all-time low,' she told her husband Joe on the phone. 'At this point, I feel so far gone from her, Joe. Like, for the first time ever it ran through my body. I'm not sure we belong at the wedding'
Sad situation: 'I don't know. I have one sister and this is where we're at right now, right? It's sad,' Joe said
