'This is a sick statement that she made,' Melissa told Extra in an interview published on Wednesday. 'That's a sick statement.

'What I'm saying is, you even want to take that away from [Joe]? Make him feel they're not approving of his actions? It's a control aspect,' she continued.

'So she can take the drama. You can be the queen of your show, but you're not the queen of me, my life, my house or my family — and that's that,' she added.

'You can keep the drama. You can keep the queen of toxicity. That's on you,' she said. 'But I don't want to be the queen of toxicity. I'm happy with what I have and living a happy life.'

About the relationship, or lack thereof, between her and her husband Joe with his sister Teresa, Melissa added: 'I have already ended that and I think so has she. It's done.'

When asked about Joe going up against Teresa's husband Luis, Gorga was hesitant to answer who would win in a fight.

'I don't want to even think about that,' she said as Joe chimed in from off camera and said he could 'drop' him.

Later, Joe said that because Teresa is still family, he plans to continue to 'take the right road and not do anything.'

However, Melissa insisted that she has 'ended that' relationship completely.

'Certain things have happened that are just really hard to come back from,' shI said. 'Right now, no one is on talking terms with anyone because of the things that have happened.

'To come after my marriage, for some reason, she's never been happy for us,' Melissa continued about her estranged sister-in-law. 'She's never wanted to support us.

Her response comes months after Teresa claimed that her and Joe's late parents — father Giacinto Gorga and mother Antonia Gorga — had shown her 'signs' and 'validation' from beyond the grave about staying estranged from her brother.

On an episode of her Namaste B****es Podcast from October 2023, Teresa admitted: 'I see my parents now around me all the time — especially [since] what's going on in my family life.

'And I'm getting validation that I'm on the right track,' she said.

For years, Teresa has had a rift in her relationship with her brother Joe and his wife Melissa.

However, the pair cut off communication with each other after the explosive season 13 finale, which aired in 2023.
