Margaret Josephs isn’t so sure about Teresa Giudice‘s recent reconciliation with Joe and Melissa Gorga.
As Melissa, 46, reacted to questions surrounding the authenticity of their makeup session, as well as their motivation for making nice after years of estrangement, the 58-year-old
“I feel it shouldn’t be played out in the press, and I think it’s weird to be played out in the press, but that’s just me,” Margaret told Us Weekly at
“It’s their family. I want it to be genuine for the sake of Melissa and Joe — I know it’s genuine on their part,” she continued. “I think things like this have to be done in a therapeutic setting and behind closed doors, and not to be played out in the press. This has been done many, many times.”
Although Margaret is glad to see a family back together, she said she wouldn’t be following Melissa’s lead with a reunion of her own.
“Some things would have to really change and it’s not [the] right time,” she shared of making up with Teresa, 53. “I think there’s too many things in the way, and it’s just not correct.”
“I don’t wish her any ill, because I think she has enough pain and enough horrible things going on, and I’m concerned for her,” she noted.

“I love Jersey. I love what we had. I don’t miss last season. That was ugly,” she explained. “I would love the fun Jersey to come back … I’m not allowed to really discuss [test filming]. But, you know, Jersey is always doing something to keep it moving.”
Also at BravoCon, Melissa addressed fans’ questions about her and Joe’s newfound friendship with Teresa during a panel event.
“I know a lot of you, like, there’s a lot of doubt. Right? Which, do I blame you? No. I understand that there’s a lot of questions and there’s a lot of people wondering if things are happening for the wrong reasons and if we’re making up cuz we know we’re the heart and soul of that show and we’re gonna kind of try to bring it back,” Melissa shared, as seen in a clip shared by
In addition to seeing that her husband felt good about his reconciliation with Teresa, Melissa pointed out that she and Teresa have seven children between them who “grew up together.”
“So if my husband looks at me with relief in his face and has one sister on this planet and says, ‘It’s authentic. I feel it. She’s being real, let’s put trust. Let’s try this,’ I’m never gonna look at him and say, ‘No,’” she stated. “I’m never gonna be that girl. So I’m gonna try.”
Continuing on, Melissa said that she and Teresa have taken a different approach to making amends this time around.
“We’re not doing it in front of the cameras this time — this time, which is different, and it feels different. So I have really good faith in this. So trust in us this time. Please, believe in us,” she added. “We’re just like, giggling and laughing. No one’s talking about the past, and it feels really good.”
