Rachel Fuda reveals the one question she wants to ask at the ‘RHONJ’ Season 13 reunion

The RHONJ ladies have been caught up in an ongoing feud between sisters-in-law Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice. The rivalry has divided the friend group into two. While Rachel is Melissa’s friend, she has called for the two sisters-in-law to reconcile. 

The 31-year-old was recently on the Two Ts In a Pod podcast to discuss her time on the Bravo reality series. When asked what one question she would want to ask at the season 13 reunion, the mother of three said, “What is everyone’s intention with all the toxicity? What’s the point?”

Rachel realizes she’s on a TV show, and there will be drama. However, the actor explained that when the drama goes beyond the show, then it’s not cool anymore. She said, “I believe that we’re making a TV show, but when it gets to the level that it’s gotten to, this is not about TV anymore.” Although she didn’t elaborate, we assume she may be referring to Melissa and Teresa’s feud.

The sisters-in-law have had a hot-and-cold relationship for years. However, things worsened last summer when the two ladies got into a blowout fight. Allegedly, Teresa spread rumors about Melissa’s infidelity. Melissa and her husband, Teresa’s brother Joe Gorga, skipped Teresa’s wedding at the end of the summer because of the fight.

While Rachel is advocating for less drama and toxicity on RHONJ, her friend Melissa is preparing her ammunition for the season 13 reunion. 

How? “I’m collecting my receipts,” she revealed on a recent episode of Betches’ Mention It All podcast. “I haven’t had to do that in a really long time because people haven’t lied like this or about me or Joe in a really long time, but I’ve been seeing a lot of lies out there, so I have receipts.”

Melissa didn’t go into detail about the “lies” she plans to debunk during the season 13 reunion. However, she said that she thinks it will differ from prior ones. And while Melissa and Teresa’s feud will probably be the center of the reunion, we won’t know what happens until the episode airs later this year.
