Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is sincere about being open to making up with her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
During an appearance on Jeff Lewis’ SiriusXM show, Teresa was asked about coexisting with Melissa, Joe, and Margaret Josephs. Fans were stunned when she replied, “Never say never,” signaling a potential willingness to reconcile.
Some reports labeled this as a “desperate” move, suggesting Teresa was trying to secure her spot on RHONJ when the show inevitably returns. However, Teresa addressed these rumors on her *Turning the Tables* podcast, insisting that wasn’t the case.
> “The thing is, before I was very adamant – and I was just like absolutely not,” Teresa said. “And I know everyone’s saying now, ‘Oh my god, she’s saying it now ’cause she’s desperate. She needs a job.’ That’s not the case. There’s things that… there’s reasons why I’m saying that. It’s like an olive branch. Now I’m just saying, ‘Never say never.’ That’s it.”
She added, “I’m just saying my door is cracked open. I just said, ‘Never say never.'”

> “But that’s truly not the case at all,” they insisted.
### Gia Giudice Encouraged Teresa to Stop Fighting
Currently appearing on *Special Forces*, Teresa’s experience on the show has also influenced her mindset about family.
> “On the show, her daughter Gia Giudice made her agree that stopping fighting would be best for everyone,” the source explained. “So when she did an interview promoting the show and was asked about Joe and Melissa, she gave the answer she did.”
The insider noted that Teresa “just didn’t articulate it clearly,” but that her intentions are genuine.
### The Future of Teresa Giudice on RHONJ
Regarding Teresa’s future on *Real Housewives of New Jersey*, which remains uncertain amid ongoing casting rumors, the source shared that she “hasn’t heard anything yet.”
