CRANFORD, NEW JERSEY: Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice set aside their anger to celebrate Jennifer Fessler's birthday on August 15.
The reality stars, who have been separated for almost a year, attended Jennifer F's 55th birthday party at The Vine & Oak Tavern in Cranford, NJ, with their other 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' co-stars.
Both ladies posed for several group pictures with the birthday girl. However, no images of all of them in the same group shot have yet surfaced.
Jennifer Aydin was one of the visitors who shared a photo from the party on social media. Teresa, Jackie Goldschneider, Jennifer F, and others appeared in her picture, but Melissa was obviously absent.
Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice ‘did not say one word to each other’
Melissa and Teresa "avoided each other" at the celebration, according to a source, and "did not speak or say one word to each other.
" "They hung out with their own friends and completely ignored each other," the person stated.
Teresa came separately and at a different time than Melissa and her husband Joe Gorga. Despite the avoidance, a source informed The US Sun that "everyone still had fun and were there to celebrate Fessler."
According to an insider, for the time being, "production isn't forcing a confrontation" between the rivals and "is letting things happen naturally."

Melissa wrote in the post, "Nobody puts baby in the corner 💅🏼 #rhonj."
Trolling the Bravo celeb for her caption, one person wrote, "While taking a picture in the corner 😂😂."
Another person chimed in, "But…you literally just took a pic of yourself…in a corner! 😂."
One user further commented, "Messy could of been under the table.. Who cares.. Messy & her garden gnome belong in the trash can 🤮🤮." A fourth user called her, "😂😂😂😂 queen of cringe."
One user begged Melissa, "PAHHH delete that caption sis." Others reminded her, "you in the corner boo."
What happened between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice at 'RHONJ' Season 13 Reunion?
After three reunion episodes of persistent arguing between Teresa and Melissa, the warring family members decided to part ways at the end of Season 13.
Joe said goodbye to his sister in a sorrowful last scene. "You know what the best thing to do is?" he asked. "Forget about me, I will forget about you. That's it. Do your thing, leave me alone, leave everybody alone, live your f--king lives."
Teresa earlier told The US Sun that she "plans to completely ignore" adversary Melissa when shooting resumes. "Teresa said that she will film with Melissa, and she'll just completely ignore her like she has done in the past," a source stated at the time.
According to the insider, even if the group is obliged to film together at times, such as on their seasonal trip, she "plans on sticking with those on her side" and "not being so confrontational with Melissa."
