RHONJ: Joe Gorga Gets Into Screaming Match With His Tenant
Joe Gorga is no stranger to screaming matches on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but this time, he went off on his tenant for not paying rent for years. Joe was introduced to RHONJ viewers as Teresa Giudice’s brother in season 3, along with his wife and cast member Melissa Gorga. Joe and Teresa had a tense relationship due to past family issues, which led to a huge brawl during his son’s christening.
Over the years, Joe tried to make amends with Teresa, which was often unsuccessful and led to them yelling at each other. In RHONJ season 12, Joe felt like Teresa never stuck up for him, especially when Jennifer Aydin called him a“b**** boy.” When host Andy Cohen tried to address their longtime family feud during the reunion, it led to another argument between Joe and Teresa, causing Joe to storm off the set.

Joe has now unleashed his anger onto a long-time tenant of his apartment building in New Jersey. TMZ obtained footage of the RHONJ husband and the tenant screaming at each other in a parking lot in Hawthorne, NJ. The video shows Joe yelling at the tenant for not paying his rent in“four f****** years” and calling him a “f****** loser.” He also accused the unnamed man of selling drugs in his building, which the renter denied. The tenant accused Joe of carrying a sledgehammer, though the video doesn’t show evidence of it. He also shot back that Joe received money from the state of New Jersey’s COVID-19 relief fund and therefore only owes him back rent starting from January.
According to TMZ, Joe’s lawyer, W. Peter Ragan, revealed that while Joe received $40,000 from the state, the tenant owes $50,000 in rent dating back from October 2018.
