Reunion season forThe Real Housewives of New Jerseyhas arrived, andTeresa Giudicewasted no time trying to kickMelissa Gorgaoff the show for good during Tuesday night’s first of three episodes.
“You’re a liar!” Teresa called her sister-in-law after Melissa began to explain howLuis “Louie” Ruelasallegedly wanted to date Alexia Echevarria fromThe Real Housewives of Miamiprior to Teresa.
“Teresa, you’ve been doing this for years. It’s getting old, honey!” Melissa retorted.
“That’s why it’s gonna be over after tonight! I can’t wait!” Teresa yelled back.
“Oh why, where you going?” Melissa then sarcastically asked.
Teresa turned the table (figuratively, that is): “You’re leaving,” she said pointedly.
“Oh, I am? Alright, I didn’t know, Andy,” Melissa shrugged, appearing unbothered in front of reunion hostAndy Cohen.
“I don’t know. I don’t know how we’re gonna coexist, the two of us,” Teresa finally admitted. She thenc concluded, “She’s gonna be out of my life after tonight.”
Melissa offered all but one word in response to her sister-in-law’s outburst. “Sad,” she said.

Teresa and Melissa spent most of their time on the reunion flinging insults back and forth, to the point where evenDolores Cataniahad seen enough.
“This story is so old,” she said quietly to Danielle Cabral, who responded that she was ready to go to Shake Shack.
Dolores was even able to help Danielle and Rachel Fuda agree to call a “truce” after their “stupid” argument overMargaret Joseph’s“arsenal" of information.
Then, following a brief discussion of the status of Danielle’s relationship with her brother (they still haven’t spoken, but she was due to see him the day after the reunion taping at her grandmother’s funeral) the topic of being able to “forgive and forget” arose.

Teresa was nearly the first to claim she does just that.
“You forgive and forget? Oh dear God, we’re at delusional’s highest level,” an exasperated Melissa said.
“Your whole storyline was me,” Teresa spat at Melissa after wondering in the first place how her sister-in-law even made it onto the show.
“Your whole storyline is talking about your brother in every scene!” Melissa retorted. “You should thank us for giving you something!”
Andy nodded his head in agreement. Now on the defensive, Teresa started listing off all the things she’s done while on the show, including going to jail.
“Oh, you went to jail, we’re so proud of you,” Melissa quipped.
Teresa then tried to say that Melissa was friendly with her ex Joe Giudice’s former business partner in another dig at her sister-in-law, which Melissa denied.
“This is like [you saying] Caroline Manzo put you in jail,” Melissa said of the former New Jersey housewife.
“No, I take that back, I think you did!” Teresa shouted at Melissa.
But Melissa wasn’t the only one Teresa had it out for during the reunion.

After recalling how happy she was for Teresa at her wedding, Margaret revealed what changed.
“To watch the season finale and know everything that was going on behind my back?” she said to Teresa.
“I had nothing to do with any of that,” Teresa said.
“I am repulsed and disgusted and shocked,” Margaret continued,driving her point home with the news that Louie had hired Bo Dietl to gather information on all the women. “I care about private investigators.”
Andy put that topic on hold until later — when Louie is set to join the reunion — though Teresa still managed to get a zinger in.
“You and your Tre stumps,” Margaret said offhandedly, alluding to Teresa’s loyal fans.
“Tree stump? Look at what you look like,” Teresa spat.
Margaret rolled her eyes. “I’m not calling YOU a ‘tree stump,'” she corrected, motioning her hand over her head because, well, Teresa missed the point entirely.
