'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 5: Teresa Giudice's Relationship with Melissa Gorga Still Rocky, Claims Caroline Manzo [EXCLUSIVE]
On Sunday night's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice and her brother Joe Gorga appeared to have a breakthrough, vowing to end their family feud.
But off camera, Teresa and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga are still repairing their broken relationship. Fellow cast-mate Caroline Manzo weighed in on the in-laws, admitting their relationship is still rocky.
"Everyone has so many different opinions about those two," Manzo told EnStars. "When you are in the thick of it in between those two, it is a tough place to be. It's sad."
Tension between the in-laws has been brewing over several seasons. Teresa added fuel to the fire this season, when she sppeared to be emotionless when she was confronted with the ugly accusation: that Melissa was cheating on her husband. On the episode, Jan DeDolce told a table full of women that Melissa had cheated on Joe Gorga with an ex-boyfriend, a claim that Melissa denies.

"No matter how much you can't stomach me, I'm your brother's wife!" Melissa told Us Weekly on July 10. "When you hear an accusation as disgusting as this, that's going to be on national television, how do you not walk away from the table?"
Manzo weighed in on the episode, admitting she isn't taking sides. She also blamed Bravo for clever editing that doesn't always show what really happened.
"You never know if Teresa did or didn't stand up for Melissa. You don't know what happened behind closed doors," Manzo revealed. "I can't pass judgement on what Teresa did to Melissa. I don't know what she did in real life."
