00:00Obviously, there's this potential reconciliation between Melissa and Teresa.
00:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, there is.
00:03Teresa and Joe apparently met up already.
00:06Yes!
00:06And Teresa also complimented Melissa's style on a BravoCon panel.
00:10How are you processing all of this?
00:12I mean, listen, I always want a family to get back together as long as it's genuine, right?
00:17Yeah.
00:17I know Melissa and Joe are being very genuine.
00:20I think that it's playing out in the press is, like, not always the best.
00:26I think this is, like, a very long story with a lot of layers.
00:30I think it should be in a therapeutic situation and maybe keep it behind the scenes.
00:34Right.
00:35Do you know what I'm saying?
00:36I think that's a lot better because we've all been down this road before,
00:39and I'm just hoping that it's a genuine thing.
00:42You look so good.
00:44I'm so excited for you.
00:45Congratulations.
00:46Let's see it.
00:46Let's see it.
00:47Oh, my God.
00:48Are you kidding me?
00:49Was this everything you ever dreamed of?
00:50Is this exactly what you wanted?
00:52It's exactly what I wanted.
00:54I wanted a big ring that I could feel on my hands.
00:57I mean.
00:57I like big things.
00:58I like big watches.
01:00So, I like men's watches.
01:02Oh, my God.
01:03I like big things.
01:03Oh, okay.
01:04I do.
01:04I mean, who doesn't like big things?
01:06That's right.
01:07Oh, my God.
01:07You guys must be on class.
01:08This year has been insane for you.
01:10Yeah.
01:10It's so insane.
01:11I won Traders, right?
01:13Was that last year?
01:14I think it was last year.
01:14I think it was technically this year.
01:15In March.
01:17Okay.
01:17So, yeah.
01:19I've been on Rhode Island Housewives coming up soon.
01:22Crazy.
01:22You guys are going to love it.
01:23Oh, my God.
01:24What else?
01:24What else happened?
01:25Frankie got engaged.
01:26Big deal.
01:26You got engaged?
01:28I got engaged.
01:29Frank Catania got married.
01:30Crazy.
01:31This has been a wild year.
01:33I know.
01:33I almost want to go back to filming for a break.
01:35Oh, I know.
01:36I just want to grab Melissa's ass for a minute because she's an ass growl girl.
01:41So, we grab each other.
01:42We're asking if you're going to be a bridesmaid at her wedding.
01:45Um, I'm going to be a bridesmaid.
01:46Yes, you're right.
01:47I think I deserve it just because, you know?
01:49Yes.
01:50And, like, this is a little Melissa.
01:51How excited were you for this?
01:53Um, so, I knew it was happening, by the way.
01:55I didn't.
01:55I can't believe it.
01:56Did he tell you?
01:57He told me.
01:57At the Apple Store?
01:58Did he tell you the whole plan?
01:59I didn't know it was at the Apple Store.
02:00I was looking on the phone.
02:01I'm like, where the hell are you?
02:03When did he tell you?
02:04I'm finding this out for the first time now.
02:06When did he tell you?
02:06He told me it was happening, but I didn't know when or where.
02:09Oh, my God.
02:10Yes.
02:10Wait, how long ago did he tell you?
02:12Uh, I don't know.
02:13Tell him.
02:14That's what he said.
02:14A month ago.
02:15He was thinking about this for a month?
02:17Uh-huh.
02:18Oh, my God.
02:19Yeah.
02:19That is weird.
02:20It was going to happen maybe somewhere else.
02:22I knew all about it.
02:23Oh, my God.
02:24Yes, yes.
02:25So, I was just waiting.
02:27I was just waiting.
02:28I didn't know.
02:29My family didn't know.
02:30No one.
02:31But Melissa knew.
02:32I had a little talk with him.
02:32Melissa knows.
02:33Oh, my God.
02:34Yeah, he didn't even say it to me purposely.
02:36We were just kind of, like, discussing things.
02:37No, she gets shit out of people this one.
02:39I'm very trustworthy.
02:40She's a digger.
02:41I'm trustworthy, Dolores.
02:43You know you are.
02:44You had his trust in me.
02:46And, you know, it was good because it didn't get back to me in any way at all.
02:49See?
02:50There you go.
02:50I didn't rat.
02:51I didn't tell.
02:52I think that means you have to plan her bachelorette.
02:54Well, who else would plan a bachelorette around here but me?
02:57Thank you very much.
02:58So, look.
02:58Your camera is back on.
03:01You know we want that every day.
03:02It's a shame to miss Dolores' bachelorette.
03:04Do you have an idea what you would do with my bachelorette?
03:07Do you have an idea what you would do for my bachelorette?
03:10I'm the one for this.
03:12You know I'm the one for this.
03:13I'm the party girl of the group.
03:14Listen, I don't want to know about it.
03:16I just want to show up.
03:17We're traveling for it.
03:17Chanel's has to be there.
03:18We're traveling.
03:19We just made up, Chanel and I.
03:21We're not coming.
03:21We just made up.
03:22She apologized.
03:23She's very sweet.
03:24And I told her whatever she heard was on.
03:26I don't like when my friends don't get along.
03:27I want this.
03:27Yes.
03:28We've made up.
03:29You know she's meeting up with my best friend.
03:31So now we're all family.
03:32We have to meet together.
03:32Wait, I don't want it just for that reason.
03:34Oh, I didn't.
03:34Okay, good.
03:35She's kidding.
03:36I'm also excited to see Teresa and Melissa walk around because I know there's no New
03:39Jersey news this weekend, but they are being so nice to each other.
03:42Oh, good.
03:43I'm happy to hear it.
03:43Yeah.
03:44How is that making you feel?
03:46Listen, whatever they do, they should do it for themselves.
03:50And that's the only reason they should do it.
03:52Life is short.
03:53And as Caroline Manzo famously said many years ago, the fans are not going to come to our
03:59funerals.
04:01So, you know, life is short.
04:04How are you feeling now that Teresa and her brother have had a moment?
04:09I'm happy for them.
04:10Yeah.
04:10I'm really happy for them.
04:11I think everybody wants to sit back and make sure it lasts.
04:14You know when a couple breaks up and they get back together and nobody wants to get involved
04:18until they're sure, like, oh, they're staying together this time.
04:23Right?
04:23Right.
04:24So, I think it's very sincere.
04:27I think they missed each other as a family.
04:29I really believe it's sincere.
04:30I don't think I believe it to be true.
04:32And I want it to stay that way.
04:34There's no reason to fight like that.
04:36They're not married couple.
04:37Teresa Giudice, this has been the most insanely incredible BravoCon for you.
04:42You and Joe have made up after your meeting with Melissa.
04:45Like, it's just, everyone is just buzzing about this.
04:48How are you feeling?
04:49You reunited.
04:49You took a picture at the Bravos last night.
04:51Like, I don't even know what to say.
04:53Are you guys happy?
04:54We're so happy.
04:55I love that.
04:56Because, you know, we have loved you both so much, like, all of you, and it's been so hard for the fans to be like, we want them all to get along, but we know it's not, like, on us to do because they have to decide to come to it when they're ready to.
05:07Right.
05:07And we're just so happy it's now.
05:08Yeah, I'm so happy, too.
05:09Listen, you know, I think the break helped, you know, because time heals all wounds.
05:16And, you know, there's a lot of things.
05:17Like, I don't know if you guys heard, I was on Special Forces with Gia, and then she was telling me to let the past go with her dad.
05:24And then when I was thinking about that, I was like, I want peace with my brother.
05:28Right.
05:28If I read correctly, you guys went to the mausoleum where your parents are to have this conversation?
05:32Yes.
05:32How impactful was that, and what made you guys decide to do it there?
05:36Well, it was me.
05:37I texted my brother, and I was like, at first, he wanted the four of us to meet.
05:42And then I was just like, I said yes first, and then I was thinking about it.
05:46I was like, I wanted to just speak to my brother because, you know, I miss my brother.
05:51And I just wanted us to speak first because I wanted him to see, you know, like, that it was, like, where I was coming from.
05:59It was real and genuine.
06:00Of course it's real and genuine because my brother knows me.
06:03Ask him.
06:04He says I'm very stubborn.
06:06Of course it's real.
06:07Yes.
06:08So he knows, like, for me to do this, like, I wouldn't do it if it wasn't real.
06:13Like, he knows that it is, you know, meaningful, and it's something that I've always wanted.
06:18He knows that.
06:19My brother knows me too well, yes.
06:21And so does Melissa.
06:23You know, she's been in my life for 22 years.
06:26Yeah.
06:26How are things?
06:27Did you get the recap from Joe about how the meeting went with Teresa?
06:31Yeah, we all sat down, and it went really well.
06:34Yeah.
06:34Yes.
06:34It went really well.
06:35Sorry.
06:36It went really well.
06:37How would you describe the feeling when you guys were sitting down?
06:41Was it difficult?
06:42Was it hard?
06:42Was it exciting?
06:43It was, when we were done, it was relief.
06:46It was just relief.
06:47It's been a long time coming.
06:48It's been dark for too long.
06:49It's too much.
06:51And, like, eventually your children, like, how am I going to tell my child not to fight with
06:56her brother when she's watching her dad do it, right?
06:59So, we need to show them that this is not how life goes.
07:03This is not normal.
07:04No, it's not.
07:05Look how close you are with your family.
07:06Exactly.
07:07Now, what about you and Melissa?
07:08Are you guys talking every day?
07:10Like, how's the current dynamic with Melissa?
07:12No, listen.
07:13Yeah, we've been texting each other.
07:15Okay.
07:15Yeah, no, we have.
07:16That is amazing.
07:18She just, she called me this morning.
07:21She's so funny.
07:21She's like, you need to unblock me on Instagram.
07:24And you did, obviously.
07:27And I was like, I don't think I have you blocked.
07:29And then she's like, and then I'm looking.
07:31I had, like, almost 3,000 people blocked.
07:34Oh, wow.
07:35Okay.
07:36Yeah, I just hit block.
07:37But, you know, if I don't like somebody, because it's like, I don't want to even, once
07:41in a blue moon, if I, you know, I respond to one person just to respond to be funny.
07:47But otherwise, I hit block, block, block.
07:49Yeah.
07:49And now, because we were talking to Teresa, I mean, to Melissa.
07:51Oh, yeah.
07:52We are following each other on Instagram.
07:53Okay.
07:54Because, you know, she wanted to post pictures of us from yesterday.
07:56Oh, right, all right.
07:57So I said, send it to me, and then I posted it, too.
08:00And I loved her caption.
08:01It said, don't question it, just support it.
08:04What is your...
08:05Oh, I didn't see her caption.
08:05Yeah, it was really cute.
08:07I just said, love, love, love you.
08:08Yeah, which was also, that was a great caption also.
08:10But for the people who are questioning it, what's your message to those who don't think
08:14it's genuine or think that you guys are doing it just to be back on the show together?
08:18Yeah, definitely not.
08:19I mean, ask my brother, because he knows me so well.
08:23And I think Melissa, she's been in my life for 22 years.
08:26She knows me really well, too.
08:28Well, my brother especially, he knows I hold grudges.
08:32So if I let this go, it's real.
08:34Like, it's not, you know...
08:35And are you setting any boundaries moving forward about things you won't discuss or
08:40will discuss or just any rules that you're setting in place so that you guys don't implode
08:43again?
08:44Yes.
08:44Listen, my brother knows me really well, and I think Melissa does, too.
08:48So we're both going to be careful and make sure, like, we respect each other.
08:53Right.
08:53You know, because, listen, you know, it's because of everything that's happened, like,
08:59trust has to be built again.
09:00Just this potential reconciliation.
09:02Well, I guess Teresa said she already talked to Joe, and Teresa was complimenting Melissa's
09:06style on a panel.
09:07So it seems like things are headed in the right direction.
09:09Does this give fans...
09:11Should this give fans a glimmer of hope that the next season of Jersey could feature both
09:15sides of the cast?
09:17I don't know.
09:19What?
09:19You seem tired.
09:20You seem so tired of it.
09:22No.
09:22Oh, that?
09:23Yeah.
09:24Yeah.
09:24I mean, let's see what happens.
09:25Everyone wants answers.
09:26Yeah, I know.
09:27How happy are you that Jennifer Aiden announced her departure?
09:30Like I just said before, it's not an airport.
09:32We didn't need to know that she was departing the runway.
09:35No one is shocked.
09:37Yeah.
09:38Yeah.
09:38I think we all saw that coming, right?
09:39Yeah.
09:39I mean, not shocking.
09:41Will you be tuning into her new podcast, TV Gold?
09:43TV Gold.
09:44TV Gold.
09:45Listen, I give her credit.
09:46Okay.
09:46That's right.
09:47She has a big ego.
09:49And, you know, that's very impressive.
09:51I'm obsessed.
09:52You know?
09:52And that's right.
09:53And I'm kind of curious, with cameras down and you guys having some time to, like, focus
09:57on yourselves and heal, has Jackie reached out to you at all?
09:59You know, Jackie hasn't reached out, but we're cordial when I see her.
10:02I'm very cordial.
10:03Okay.
10:04I'm always cordial.
10:05That's good.
10:05Yes.
10:06Wow.
10:06Time really does heal all.
10:07Yes.
10:07You know what I mean?
10:08Listen, well, I would say time heals all.
10:11Some.
10:12I'd say timing is convenient.
10:13Oh, okay.
10:14There you go.
10:15But, you know what?
10:17I can be in a room with anybody.
10:19Certain people.
10:19Well, not anybody, but almost anybody.
10:21Because the holidays are coming up.
10:22What is the likelihood of a joint holiday situation?
10:26Listen, I don't know.
10:27We'll see what happens.
10:28I could see maybe a dinner of some sort.
10:30We'll see what happens.
10:31You know, we haven't gotten, we haven't gotten, we're not talking holidays just yet.
10:33Did you see?
10:34Do you have the sprinkle cookies to bring up?
10:35Yeah.
10:35Wait.
10:36Oh, my God.
10:37Wait.
10:37Has she tried the sprinkle cookies yet?
10:38No.
10:39You didn't bring them to the meeting?
10:40No, we have not gotten that far yet.
10:42Why not?
10:42Let's start from the beginning.
10:44Let's start over and forget all the rest in between.
10:47Bring the sprinkle.
10:48Let's start from day one.
10:49Let's start all over.
10:50Wait.
10:51You know what's funny?
10:51That would literally be starting from fight number one.
10:54Wait.
10:54You got to do it.
10:55You got to do it.
10:55That'd be so good.
10:57I'm pregnant with Joey.
10:58Okay.
10:58That's how.
10:59I know that.
11:00I remember.
11:01I was around for this.
11:02With the children and the family, does this mean that we could have holidays all together
11:06with the Gorgos and the Judahites?
11:08I mean, listen.
11:08And when I first met Louie, we had, like, they came over to my house for Christmas Eve.
11:15Well, look at that.
11:16Yeah.
11:16Are we excited to maybe try Melissa's sprinkle cookies at the holidays?
11:19I will try them.
11:20Yeah.
11:20Okay.
11:21All right.
11:21Good to know.
11:22And she put almond paste in them.
11:25And almond paste usually goes in penoli cookies.
11:28Wait.
11:29She was doing it for you.
11:30I guess she was.
11:30You know what I mean?
11:31She knew.
11:32Are any of the Rhode Island ladies sneaking around here that we don't know about yet?
11:35No.
11:35They weren't allowed to come.
11:36No.
11:37Really?
11:37I want to see them.
11:38I heard they're so pretty.
11:39They're so pretty.
11:40And the one girl, her name starts with an L. You're going to love her so much.
11:44Okay.
11:44That's my friend there.
11:44Okay.
11:45She's solid.
11:46Okay.
11:46But some are not that solid.
11:47Do you have some?
11:48How's the rest of the cast?
11:50They're wild.
11:51You know, they are.
11:52They're unapologetically themselves.
11:54Right.
11:55Which is good.
11:56They didn't try to be anything else.
11:58They didn't try to act like other housewives.
11:59And they were very open and honest about their lives.
12:04Okay.
12:04Well, we love transparency.
12:06And they're funny.
12:07They're not Jersey Dolores.
12:08I'm always going to say.
12:10I have a lot of catching up to do.
12:12A lifetime of catching up to do.
12:15Although they have Andy in a camera and we don't.
12:17So there's that.
12:18It's coming soon.
12:182026, honey.
12:19We have some catching up to do too, by the way.
12:21I'm watching the other shows.
12:22They're doing really good.
12:23And I think we need to get back soon.
12:24Yes.
12:25Amen.
