Melissa and Joe Gorga put family feuds behind them to back Teresa and Joe Giudice during their financial fraud case

They used to be at each other's throat.
But Melissa Gorga has put old feuds aside to rally behind to Real Housewives Of New Jersey duo Teresa and Joe Giudice, who face 50 years in prison if convicted of their financial fraud charges.
Sister-in-law Melissa and Teresa's brother Joe Gorga have the couple's back, pledging support of the four Giudice children and telling the media that the beleaguered family 'will be OK.'

Melissa, 34, told Us Weekly: 'We're always here for Teresa. She's very strong and has a lot of strength and at the end of the day, it's about those four babies and we're here for them no matter what.
'She knows that we're here for her.'
Melissa and Teresa had previously been at loggerheads, with perhaps their most explosive feud coming after the latter accused her old foe of being a gold digger last year.
After Joe told her about the comments she said: 'I wish he never told me. Why would she ever say something like that, it’s another dig, but to him this time.
'What is she trying to say, I only love him for the money? Oh, because he’s not handsome, charming, or sexy? He’s not an amazing husband and father? Money is all he has going for him? I don’t think so.'
The Giudices likely need all the support they can get in light of the 39-count indictment that the couple received on July 29.
The alleged tax and fraud charges include conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud and making false statements on loan applications.
Joe Giudice was also charged with failing to file tax returns from 2004 through 2008, during which he allegedly made almost $1 million, according to E! News.

The couple pled not guilty to the charges at a federal court in Newark, New Jersey on August 14.
But despite the severe legal trouble facing her sister-in-law, Melissa doesn't seem overtly concerned.
'We will always have some kind of controversy and hard milestones you have to go through in life,' Melissa told E! News at the VMAs. 'They need to put on a strong face and they will get through it. They are doing fine and will be OK.'
The Giudices are currently out on a combined $1 million in bail, according the E! News, but have given up their passports and are prohibited from traveling outside of New York or New Jersey.
And though a combined 50-year prison sentence would be bad enough, Joe Giudice - who is not a U.S. citizen -  could potentially get deported to Italy if he is convicted.
The Giudices' next court date is October 8.
