The gloves are off.
Melissa Gorga and Jennifer Aydin are having a no-holds-barred feud, hurling insults at each other on social media ahead of part one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion on Wednesday night.
Gorga, 42, kicked things off by sharing a thinly veiled dig at Aydin, 44, calling her ‘fake and conniving’ and Aydin responded in kind dubbing Gorga ‘salty and boring’.

It hasn’t aired yet but it is safe to say that things do not go well for Melissa Gorga and Jennifer Aydin in the RHONJ reunion.
The morning that part one was schedule to air, Melissa shared some behind the scenes photos on social media from the taping that featured all but one cast member – Jennifer.
‘Notice I posted everyone except for one person who I feel is truly happy when family and friends are divided,’ Gorga captioned the post, adding pointedly: ‘Probably because she would throw her own mother under the bus for TV. Or if it would make Teresa happy.’
‘I’ve been on the show a long time and I know fake and conniving when I see it,’ the reality star said. ‘When you don’t come for someone at all, and they are constantly trying to put you down and trying to cause riffs in your relationships, that’s a huge red flag.’

‘Notice I posted everyone except for one person who I feel is truly happy when family and friends are divided,’ Gorga captioned the post, adding pointedly: ‘Probably because she would throw her own mother under the bus for TV. Or if it would make Teresa happy.’
It didn’t stop there: ‘ENVY BABY! They might want to try to be the fun tipsy one like you, but they fail and just look sloppy
‘Lots of skeletons in the closet over there. I’m nice until I’m not. Pay attention everyone- you will see it. I love you all. thank you for your support always.’ she concluded.
There was no question who Melissa was referring to in the post and Jennifer Aydin wasted no time with a few jabs of her own.
Sharing a similar set of behind the scenes snaps from the reunion, Jennifer took aim at Melissa.

‘Take a good look at what unbothered looks like. I’m on this show because of me- not because my sister-n-law or A more entertaining husband,’ she said, obviously referring to Teresa Giudice and her bother, Melissa’s husband Joe Gorga.
‘My husband is a class act who respects women and would never stoop low for the cameras,’ she continued in the caption. ‘I guess people envy what they don’t have – I share real and authentic stories, not fake, made up ones. And I see that some people are threatened by that.’
Then, referring to Melissa’s post directly she added: ‘You can take your ‘sloppy’ comments and run with it all you want-hold on to it for dear life- ya got nothing else.

‘Your group is infested with a snake that talks behind all your backs and you’re just Salty…And Boring to Boot! So careful with all that reach, you’re gonna pull a muscle’
In a subsequent text only post, Jennifer gave a pseudo apology writing: ‘Ok- that was a low blow. I’m done and I want to enjoy watching the reunion with everyone else’
The beef between the Garden State Housewives is no doubt kicking up more interest in what was already expected to be a brutal reunion.
An expletive laden teaser for the season 11 two-part reunion show promised to lay bare the vicious feuds between the ladies.
‘My husband is a class act who respects women and would never stoop low for the cameras,’ she continued in the caption. ‘I guess people envy what they don’t have – I share real and authentic stories, not fake, made up ones. And I see that some people are threatened by that.’

‘It could be a massacre,’ says Margaret Josephs as the trailer starts rolling.
The reunion addresses the false rumors that Jackie Goldschneider’s husband Evan was cheating on her. Teresa Giudice started spreading the rumor on the season 11 premiere.
In the teaser, Cohen is seen asking her brother Joe Gorga: ‘Are you saying that she was wrong to spread the rumor?’ ‘Never go against the family,’ Teresa warns him.
Cohen asks Teresa: ‘Did you do it to hurt Jackie?’
In a subsequent text only post, Jennifer gave a pseudo apology writing: ‘Ok- that was a low blow. I’m done and I want to enjoy watching the reunion with everyone else’
‘No,’ she says, prompting Jackie to shout: ”That is absolute bulls***!’
Then Jennifer Aydin seems to suggest that the source of the rumor was, in fact, Margaret.
‘You instigate, I retaliate,’ Jennifer snarks to her. Margaret snipes back: ‘These girls are so full of s***!’ Now you’re going to go down Jennifer.’
Part 1 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 11 reunion is set to air on Bravo on Wednesday May 19, with the second part following on May 26.
