Jacqueline Laurita was a no-show for the two-part Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, which came to an explosive conclusion Oct. 23.

After a still-undisclosed brawl with former BFF Teresa Giudice, Laurita "will never speak to Teresa again," a source tells Us Weekly.

As for the women who did show up to hash things out at the reunion, mediated by Andy Cohen? Caroline Manzo "hasn't spoken to Teresa in months," the source says of the pair, who recently wrapped up shooting season four of the Bravo hit. "Every time they get together to film, everyone's fighting with Teresa."

Adds Teresa's sister-in-law Melissa Gorga to Us: "Caroline is upset over the charade."

Not that things are much better between Gorga and Giudice. "Teresa and Melissa still communicate for family stuff, but things are strained," a show insider says.

At the reunion, Gorga, Manzo and Kathy Wakile confronted Giudice's efforts to tear the families apart.

"It was dramatic and painful to watch," Gorga admits.

    With 4 girls to raise and an alcholic husband I give Teresa a lot of credit by taking charge of her situation by supporting herself with her books and not depend on Joe, cause who knows he may be spending years in jail. Its not easy living with an alcholic. I don't think she is an evil person like she is being portrayed. I really think she was trying to be funny by putting those comment in her cookbook about her friends. They need to lighten up and stop taking things so serious. Life is to short! She speaks her mind but do all the other women on the show. Give her a break Bravo!!!!

    i think that carolin melissa and jaqulin and kathy are very nice people and yes the women do talk about each other behind their backs but not to the public like that. it is clear that teressa is jelous and her hatred for melissa has spread. i think the women were starting to see what a wonderful person mellissa is and teressas lies gradually started comming out. its hard for a friend to look at someone in a good way that their other friend hates. i feel bad for all them except teressa. and as far as the reunion. Caroline keep being you. you just didn want to say anything you regretted. way to go girl. i hope God blesses all of yous and yal have a successful and peaceful fourth season. and as for jaculin i love you girl please dont leave the show.

    Teresa if you were a "good friend" then why didn'y you stop and think before putting those disrespectful comments in your cookbook, about the people that mean the most to you? If they would have said those "jokes" as you put it, about you, how would you have truly felt? And don't say you would have not taken offense, because look how upset you got over the (re-done house) note! And you did say that you didn't care if you made up with your brother or not and that he was an A-hole. It was taped in Caroline's kitchen and you had on light pink and a glitter phone in your hand. With the way the show is edited, it looked like the same day that Mellissa came to Caroline's home and the two of you spoke about cleaning the slate. Which in my opinion you never even tried to do. The Christmas thing was horrendous, you threw a fit about the time you had with your brother, what about all the famileis who don't get even an hour with thier families. You need to be Thankful and stop being so selfish. You are losing everyone close to you, and that is a shame, because I see goodness in you. I hope you will wise up and watch what you say to people because sometimes words hurt worse than a knife or a gun.

    OMG Teresa is full of jealousy it just spews out of her! does she not know how stupid she looks when she ovisally is so jeallous of Mellisa! it is so funny to watch teresa look at mellisa and wish she looked that good! honestly it is Mellissas beautiful personality that makes her such a sweet heart! and then you have Teresa who thinks she is all that and does not even hold a candle to Melissa. The funny part is Teresa thinks she is so fab and she is garbadge! Just like her baby bro said @ the babtisim. I can see why Teresa did not want the beautiful Melissa on the show cause everyone would soon see how ugly Teresa really is ! when i say ugly i mean ugly person! i hope they get rid of Teresa she is no longer needed and take that stupid cook book and burn it! for her to show her true colors and say caroline manzo is 1/16 italian! she really screwed her so called friends! haha its a joke! i hope bravo looses Teresa im sure they will still have the audiance but we will see much more of the classy women ! i think Teresa and Danille are of the same type GARBADGE

    Guidice is the nth ultimate OXYMORON. Who would pay for the stuffs she's selling when she cannot even pronounce words correctly? She brought all these 'evil eye' to her life so why empathized with her? whatever.

    Poor Jacqueline just needs to grow up and stop behaving like a baby (no wonder her daughter is such a brat, she behaves just like Jacqueline). And Caroline was right on point when she said that Teresa is selfish. It was ridiculous nonsense for Teresa to say that her brother was not there on Christmas Eve. If it were me, and I was there for an hour, and she had a big fit about it, the next time I would NOT go for a longer period of time, instead I would just not go at all. And Teresa keeps saying that her daughter wrote the song for Teresa's brother (when the daughter clearly said that the song was for BOTH Teresa and her brother). Teresa seems to be another Kelly Bensimon, just not very smart. It must be very frustrating to try to be in a discussion (much less a relationship) with either one of them.

    I do not feel sorry for Teresa at all. She had it coming to her. She accepts no responsibility at all and is not only jealous but bitter because of her money situation. I can't believe she tries to compete with her sister-in-law stating that in the bikini she looked so much better than Melissa. Give me a break! Only someone who is insecure would do that. Regarding the money issues with Teresa, I think that Melissa handled herself like a real lady by not even commenting on that. Melissa's husband is a hard working man who not only finishes what he starts but takes care of his family. Because of that, Teresa is so green with envy that she can hardly see straight. Teresa's husband on the other hand always starts projects but never finishes them, and it's no wonder that they never have money considering the way Teresa goes through it like water. I do agree that sometimes Caroline gives her opinion when it is not needed but I feel that she tries to take on a motherly role. Kathy on the other hand had always conducted herself as a lady and I give her kudos for that. Not only is she a great mother but also a wonderful wife. She dresses beautifully and always has class. The one that I really feel for is Jaqueline for not only believing the lies Teresa has told her but for the problems she has been having with Ashley. Had I done that to my mother, my ass would have been out of the house.....no questions asked. I hope things for her get better and Ashley finally pulls her head out of her ass and realizes what a wonderful mother she has.

    I really liked Caroline before I saw the reunion show, I could not stand how she rolled her eyes and kept making faces, if you got something to say, then say it and quit acting like a 3 year old. Teresa is having to defend herself against all three of the ladies, OMG what a bunch of back stabbers! They all have talked about Teresa and then act like they are so special. As far as I am concerned Caroline is the worst of the bunch. So disappointed in her. Not sure I will continue to watch this show, nothing but fussing and fighting!

    I use to like Teresa, but this season she was straight up awful! Her little bit fame went straight to her head, I can't wait to see her on Celeb Apprentice!

  • October 28, 2011 - 11:56am Rachel Diane

    I agree 100% with Lora C!

  • October 28, 2011 - 8:48am Lisa Simmons

    why is jacqueline mad foe why ids she letting teresa break up the fam looks like they let teresa win she got what she wonts no one talking

  • October 28, 2011 - 12:54am Linda Susan Ricard

    I really must say that Teresa is so out of control. She does not even know what the real truth is .I think the girls have finally figured it out .She has caused so much heartbreak in her own family as well as others .I think she really needs to take a good look at what really is important to her .She doe not get it at all . I do hope she wakes up before she looses everything and every one . I know she has good in her she just need to open her eyes . concentrate on her children before she thinks of anything else . she is a mother first . I know she has a good heart she just needs to find it .

    Jacquelin is a coward. She "Tweeted" all kinds of junk to Teresa, but when it came to a face-to-face, she chickened out. They didn't have Danielle to pick on so Caroline and Jacquelin turned on Teresa. What a couple of jerks.

  • October 27, 2011 - 10:17pm Lora Castronova

    I think Teresa has had a tough year and her sister in law and her friends have not been loyal. Yes, she's off the wall this year, yes she's ornery and out of sorts. Ever think girls that she's busy trying to raise three girls, stressed to the max about the financial and legal situation her husband had them all in...and trying to keep her game face on and support her husband. She knows what he did wrong and that's between them and no one else...stop sweating her...he's a big boy and she isn't responsible for his actions and she shouldn't have to answer to all of you for it. Why didn't Andy ask Kathi about whether she talks to her husband about the crap he says, or Melissa, ..no...he went at Teresa and said don't you think he shouldn't do this, say that..etc.you attack her like she's responsible for him.....but you didn't put the other housewives in that position. Melissa? You've done just as much to tweak Teresa as she has done to you...so stop with the holier than thou act. She's your sister in law. All of the women should be cutting Teresa a break given what she's going through rather than the constant attacks....is she'being a butt? yes...but she's owed some slack right now....maybe you all are not very good friends to not think of it that way. Caroline? LIked you a lot until now....you are overstepping your boundaries telling people how to raise their kids...you are a good parent AND you got lucky...they are good parents too...so back off. You got WAY to holier than thou....don't care for you much. You ended a friendship over two petty things in a book...get over it. Again, if you were a friend to Teresa you would overlook some petty garbarge....she has a plateful of stress..and you all add to it rather than provide unconditional support like a family and like friends should do. Kathi...you are a sweetheart...and I think you do cut her slack....you're a good "cuz"

    I liked Teresa the first season; she seemed sweet and good natured. I think the success of the show has gone to her head and it's very obvious that she is insanely jealous of Melissa. Just GREEN with envy. Her husband is shady as hell and I'd be willing to bet he's a criminal and cheater. She needs to dump him, concentrate on herself and her girls, and come back down to earth.

  • October 27, 2011 - 9:12pm Despina Papadakis

    teresa is the new danielle and thats that.if u watch the reunion teresa always rolled her eyes and made faces.

  • October 27, 2011 - 5:24pm Jeannette Tawatari

    C'mon girls. Don"t act ur shoes sizes. Grow up.

  • October 27, 2011 - 4:20pm Joanne K. Edmiston

    I think Teresa has been stirring the pot since Danielle. She lives in denial re her husband's drinking, her parenting and notice how everyone else is to blame, but she's always rights. I'm over Teresa. The rest seem to have their heads on straight Jersey style. Wonder what Teresa did to alienate Jacqueline.....

  • October 27, 2011 - 3:51pm Pamela Lewis

    Teresa is bipolar and jacq has mommy issues, the way she treats her own daughter is digusing! They both need therapy real bad. I do like Melissa, Kathi and Caroline though. They do have their heads on straight. I love all the husbands esp. Richie, what a trip! Melissa's husband, Joe is a real cutie and gangster! Like we don't know. SMH

  • October 27, 2011 - 3:43pm Lisa Hill

    Who the eff cares.... she is just as bad as Teresa putting out these lame stories! So don't talk to each other & move it along!
