Joe Giudice hinted at why Melissa and Joe Gorga are feuding with his ex-wife Teresa Giudice. The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum said the Gorgas are “jealous” of Teresa, and he called them “fame wh**es.”

Though Teresa and Joe divorced after his prison release in 2019, he filmed many seasons with his now ex-siblings-in-law. The Gorgas and the Giudices feuded off and on before Teresa cut off all communication with the Gorgas, who joined RHONJ two seasons after Teresa.

On the Reality Court podcast, Giudice said his ex-brother-in-law is “like [a] Real Housewife.”

“He loves that crap,” Giudice explained.

Giudice was then asked if he believes Teresa and her brother could ever reconcile.

“I mean, I don’t know,” said Giudice. “I don’t know what his problem is. You know that is his only sister. I mean, I don’t know what the hell his deal is.”

“I think that his wife, in all honesty, is so jealous of Teresa for whatever reason,” he continued. “And so is [Joe Gorga]. I don’t know why. It’s just weird … I think just, like they’re just such fame wh**es. I don’t even like to get into it cause I don’t even care.”

Giudice also hinted that the Gorgas rely on the show, as they’re now making “real money.”

Despite the shade, Giudice went on to praise Joe Gorga as a “hard worker.”

“He learned from me. I taught him a lot. He’s a hard worker… Until this day, he’s still out there working every day… But is he an a–hole? Yeah,” laughed Giudice. 

Earlier this month, Teresa addressed her past relationship with Joe Gorga, who’s made claims that he helped Teresa’s family during hard times.

“I didn’t need him for anything. I did everything on my own. I even gave him [Joe Giudice]’s truck,” said Teresa on Turning the Tables with All About TRH Podcast. “I gave him Joe’s truck [to repay him for work] he did at my house, and my ex is like, ‘Your brother took the truck?’ … He was so pissed because he’s like, ‘You could’ve sold that truck and kept the money for yourself.’”

“He never gave me anything. He’s never even bought me a birthday gift. Nothing … I mean, after he married Melissa, no, I don’t think so,” she continued. “Before Melissa, he used to buy me birthday gifts, I think. But after Melissa, no … I’ve done everything on my own, which I’m proud of, and my daughters know that too.”
