The mother of three’s comments echo her sentiment last week when she said she agreed “with Bravo that there needs to be change.”
“I agree with that 100 percent,” he said. Entertainment Tonight“I think things have gotten really toxic.”
She continued: “There are two members of my cast who have played very dirty behind the scenes and that’s coming out… it’s all coming out because it always comes out, it always comes out in the laundry room. It’s been years so it’s all coming out.”
It is worth noting that Gorga and Teresa did not share any scenes with each other amid their family’s bitter dispute.
The tension between the women has affected the rest of the cast, who have been forced to choose sides.

However, Andy Cohen assured fans that there will be a resolution in the season 14 finale.
“The most important thing is that this will all make sense once we see the ending,” she said during her appearance on SiriusXM’s Reality Checked With Kiki Monique.
He continued: “When all the producers saw the final cut of the ending, we all made a decision separately and then we talked about it. We all had the same idea, which is that the ending is kind of an ending and a reunion all in one.”
“It’s in the great tradition of absolutely shocking, dramatic Jersey finales, and they have this epic last group reunion, which is like the Last Supper and is very Jersey. And it’s shocking, it’s dramatic and it’s incredible television. I’m telling you, when you watch it, I think you’ll feel complete,” he concluded.
As for whether RHONJ will make any cast changes, Cohen said they’ll make the decision as it comes.
He noted that it takes producers a “minute” to “understand things.”
Gorga and Giudice refused to speak to each other during filming of the current season.
The feud between Teresa and Melissa has been ongoing for months, with the former even going as far as to blame her sister-in-law for putting her in prison during last year’s reunion episode.
“I want everyone to hear this because we’re going to get this out in the open because this is over after today,” Teresa told Melissa during the heated exchange. “I’m never going to look at your face again.”
Melissa noted that Teresa previously accused Caroline Manzo of putting her in prison after she pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges.

But that’s not the only drama that has rocked the show.
Jennifer Aydin and newcomer Danielle Cabral were also suspended during filming following a physical altercation, further casting doubt on the future of the series.
Their feud has also caused a serious rift between Teresa and her brother Joe, who is married to Melissa (seen together in the 2023 reunion).
There’s also been drama brewing off-camera, as Aydin and Giudice were accused of leaking negative stories about their co-stars to an anti-Gorga troll account on social media.
Giudice has denied involvement in the scandal, while Aydin has yet to comment.
Now, fans and producers alike are trying to figure out what’s next for the beleaguered franchise.
A source said People magazine that “anything and everything is on the table” regarding the show, which could mean putting one or two cast members on hiatus, or possibly rebooting the series from scratch as The Real Housewives of New York City for its 14th season.
