Yahoo Autos Teresa Giudice Cries Learning Joe Gorga Isn't Coming to Her Wedding in 'RHONJ' Midseason Trailer
PEOPLE has the exclusive premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey's season 13 midseason trailer, which sees Joe's wife Melissa Gorga being confronted about new rumors she cheated on her husband
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is turning up the drama for the second half of season 13.
PEOPLE has the exclusive premiere for the hit Bravo show's midseason trailer, which chronicles what led to Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga's decision not to attend his sister Teresa Giudice's August 2022 wedding to Luis "Louie" Ruelas.
"So your only sibling is not showing up?" Giudice's longtime makeup artist Priscilla Distasio asks the reality star in the clip — to which an emotional, crying Giudice responds, "Yes."
When news broke that the Gorgas would be skipping the nuptials, PEOPLE was first to report the reason behind their absence, with two sources explaining that Joe and Melissa had been planning on attending the wedding up until filming the season 13's final RHONJ group event when false rumors about their marriage surfaced as the cameras rolled

Giudice's part in the matter and Ruelas's behavior amid their back-and-forth ultimately changed the Gorgas' minds, the insiders said, one explaining that "Teresa betrayed them in a way that's unforgivable."
The RHONJ midseason trailer shows the moment those accusations surface, when new Housewife Danielle Cabral tells a shocked Melissa, "She caught you in the backseat of a car, kissing a guy."
It's unclear who the "she" is in Cabral's claim, but Margaret Josephs — who Jennifer Aydin is seen saying has a "an arsenal" on people — appears to get herself involved, later calling Cabral "a s--t-stirrer" in the clip.
"Meet the new Danielle," Cabral screams back at Josephs. "You made her."
Regardless, the rumors are the final straw for Melissa. "How can I celebrate somebody else's marriage when they are constantly trying to destroy mine?" she asks Dolores Catania.
