Caroline Manzo calls Teresa Giudice’s feud with the Gorgas ‘inevitable’

Caroline Manzo may not be on good terms with Teresa Giudice, but that doesn’t mean she’s reveling in her former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” co-star’s family feud.

“[It’s] inevitable, tragic, sad,” Manzo told Page Six exclusively at BravoCon 2022 on Sunday of Giudice’s latest falling out with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga.

“The kids suffer in a very public way,” the “Manzo’d with Children” alum added. “And I just think it’s very sad.”

Teresa and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, have four daughters: Gia, 21, Gabriella, 18, Milania, 16, and Audriana, 13. The Gorgas, meanwhile, share daughter Antonia, 17, and sons Gino, 15, and Joey, 12.

The estranged siblings have been speaking out about their fractured relationship since BravoCon kicked off on Friday, two months after Joe, 48, and Melissa, 43, skipped Teresa’s wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas.

“I was really hurt. Obviously, it was really sad for me,” Teresa, 50, said during a panel on Saturday, referencing the Gorgas being no-shows on her special day in August after an explosive fight broke out while filming the Season 13 finale.

The “Standing Strong” author also slammed her sister-in-law, saying that “things change” when “different blood” enters a family.

“I’m sure it happens in a lot of families, and nobody should speak unless they’re in the situation, so that’s what happened to our family,” she shared. “Fame and money, unfortunately, ruined our family. And, of course, I’m sad for that, but that’s what happens.”

Joe went on an impassioned rant about his fractured relationship with his only sibling on Saturday when a fan asked whether he cared more about money and fame than family relations at a separate panel moderated by Page Six’s Evan Real.

“This is the s–t that pisses me off,” Joe yelled.

“I am tired of hearing that bulls–t. Because you know what? If you love each other — and we’re family — you help one another rise.”

Teresa’s eldest daughter, Gia, weighed in on the family drama, too, telling Page Six that she has not cut off her uncle, who is also her godfather, or her aunt despite the tensions.

“We don’t really talk as much now, but it’s OK. I’m sure we’ll move forward somehow,” Gia said on Friday.

“I texted my uncle for [his] birthday just out of respect — and for the holidays. He texted back just like, ‘Thank you.’”

Manzo is no stranger to family strife.

She hasn’t been on speaking terms with her sister Dina Manzo for many years and also had issues with Teresa throughout her five seasons on “RHONJ.”

Earlier this year, the mother of three revealed that she would like to return to the show — but only to “knock the s–t out of” Teresa.

“I’m just gonna put it out there ’cause I just don’t give a f–k, all right? You know what? I would get great pleasure … to go in and just knock the s–t out of [Teresa] verbally and just put her in her place,” she said on her son Albie’s podcast.

Despite this, Caroline told Page Six on Sunday that if she runs into Teresa at BravoCon, no fists will fly.

“Nothing [will happen]. I’ll say hello to her,” she explained. “Easy. We’re adults. Act like an adult.”

As for whether she has changed her tune about returning to the franchise, Caroline didn’t rule out the possibility.

“There’s always hope,” she said. “A fool says never.”
