Teresa Giudice and Gia Giudice are joking about their ongoing family feud with Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga.
Gia, 24, jokingly brought up the idea of a celebrity boxing match between Joe Giudice and Joe Gorga in a recent episode of her podcast “Casual Chaos” that she hosts with her mother. She expressed her enthusiasm by saying, “Let’s make it happen.”
Teresa, 52, said she would “f***ing love to see that one,” adding that her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, would “body slam” her brother.
“The only way your father would do that, only if he gets paid a lot of money,” Teresa added. “Then, he could give it to me.”
Gia joked, “There you go. Gimme a check for all my [suffering].”
The conversation came after Gia asked if there were any Real Housewives of New Jersey scenes Teresa wished never made it to TV.
“The jacuzzi scene with your dad. I think that’s cringe,” Teresa replied. “I had clothes on it. I had on a strapless bra.”
The episode that sparked this banter took place in 2013 during season 5 when Joe Gorga and Joe Giudice had a physical altercation at a family retreat. Teresa and Joe Giudice ended their 20-year marriage by finalizing their divorce in 2020.
“That was, like, after the fight with your dad and my brother,” she said. “After he flipped him over. Should have flipped him out the window.”
The ongoing feud between the Gorga and Giudice families has been a prominent feature on Bravo since Melissa and Joe Gorga joined the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey in season 3. Notably, Joe Gorga and Joe Giudice were involved in another physical altercation during the season 3 premiere at Joey Gorga’s christening in 2011.
Teresa made rare comments about her brother on Wednesday’s podcast episode, claiming that Joe Gorga was the one who reignited their feud in recent years.
“My brother is the one that brought Louie on the show,” Teresa said, referring to her now-husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, who made his first appearance on the show in 2021.
“Could you imagine if Louie’s family did this to me? I would be so upset. I do feel guilty about that. My family member did this to the person I love,” Teresa said. “There’s no coming back from that.”
The drama between Louie and Joe Gorga is related to a business venture that allegedly went wrong. (Joe Gorga and Melissa skipped out on Teresa’s 2022 wedding to Louie.)
“Now I know why my brother did what he did,” Teresa claimed. “He did it just to stay relevant on TV. To keep the freaking feud going on TV. To have a story line.”
