Joe Gorga & Joe Giudice Fight — Reason Behind ‘RHONJ’ Brawl

Teresa told Joe, “you should stick with your sister,” to which her brother repied, “I’m not sticking with scum like you!”

Teresa’s cousin, Kathy Wakile wasn’t too fond of Joe’s choice of words and she called him out on it. “That wasn’t right,” she says.

Joe didn’t seem to care what he said to Teresa, though. “She is scum. And I’m going to call you scum.”

“You know what? I’m out of here,” Teresa said as she’s clearly had enough. She immediately ran to her husband Joe and said, “Joe, he just called me scum. I want to leave.”

However, Teresa’s husband wasn’t happy with her brother’s choice of words. He rushed into the meeting room at the family healing retreat center as Richie Wakile warned Joe Gorga, “back up!”

As soon as Joe Giudice demanded Joe Gorga apologize, the two rushed at each other and started throwing fists. Melissa got thrown against a window and she screamed for Teresa to go get help!

Teresa returned with bodyguards and the men were broken up.

Sadly, it was the word “scum” that set Teresa and Joe Giudice off, causing the families to finally hit “rock bottom,” as Melissa claimed in her confessional.
