Melissa Gorga isn't buying Teresa Giudice's apology tour.

After Teresa buried the hatchet with frenemy Margaret Josephs on Slabuthe season 13 premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Melissa is now accusing her sister-in-law's husband Luis "Louie" Ruelas of being behind her decision to make nice.

Melissa revealed as much on the March 14 episode of the Bravo series when co-star Rachel Fuda shared that Teresa had given her "warnings about being friends with Margaret."

Rachel added, "Teresa actually specifically said it's better to have Margaret as a friend than an enemy."

The news prompted Melissa to call B.S.

"I know fake when I see it and Teresa running to Margaret at my roller skating party was the fakest s--t I've ever seen," she ranted. "She hates f--king Margaret. She can't stand f--king Margaret, she can't stand me."

In her confessional, Melissa blamed Louie for Teresa's contradictory behavior.

"I see Louie for what he is and he's charming, but he's also very manipulating," she alleged. "So, it's so obvious that Louie told her, 'Be good to Margaret, don't f--k with Margaret.' Because we're going to need Margaret to stop telling all of the truth about us. That's what we're gonna need.'"

Melissa was seemingly referring to last season of RHONJ when Margaret questioned Louie's character and brought up shocking rumors about his past failed relationship.

Later in the new episode, Danielle Cabral admitted to Margaret that Teresa and Jennifer Aydin had given her similar warnings.

"They're my friends so they just kind of told me, 'Keep your mind open, keep an eye out,'" she shared, adding, "'You're a better friend than an enemy.'"

As for Margaret's response? "I mean, look who's talking," she stated in a confessional. "I mean, you're the worst enemy known to man."

See the drama play out when The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
