Joe Gorga was just accused of abusing Melissa Gorga by Caroline Rauseo, a friend of Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin.
After Melissa seemingly suggested Teresa was in an “unhappy” home and bored after her sister-in-law claimed it was Joe who initially told her about the false rumor claiming Evan Goldschneider cheated on his wife Jackie Goldscheider. Caroline, who claimed she joined the Real Housewives of New Jersey ahead of season 12, took to the comments section of an Instagram post to make shocking allegations against him.
“Yeah ok Melissa….It’s due to your lying, fake a– character that needs to be exposed. You’ve been lying for yearrrssss,” Caroline wrote, per Everything Housewives on Instagram. “Let’s talk about unhappy homes…hmmmm do [you] want to talk about the domestic abuse in your home??!!! He smacked you to the ground in public in a club [because you] were flirting…sad and I do feel bad for you [because] no one should ever be put through that, but you need to stop putting on the facade.”
Caroline then told Melissa that she should have “been nicer” when the two of them filmed together.
“Yup [you] know exactly what I mean…[you] disregarded me as if I didn’t exist [because you] know I know ALOT…[you] should learn humility. That’s a good lesson for you,” she stated.
Caroline’s comment came after Bravo Housewives on Instagram shared the post below in regard to the comments made on both Melissa and Teresa’s podcasts.
“Teresa Giudice recently called Melissa ‘messy’ [and] ‘dirty; in her tactics on a recent episode of Namaste B$tches podcast, saying she hopes the dirty game catches up to Melissa [and Margaret Josephs] soon enough. She also alleged that Joe Gorga was the one who told her the rumor about Evan, implying it came from either Melissa, Margaret, or Joe Benigno. Melissa Gorga recently responded to these claims on her On Display podcast, noting that topics from 10+ years ago are being brought back up due to ‘unhappy homes’ and boredom,” they explained.
And while Joe and Melissa have not addressed the allegations directly, the RHONJ couple did share a message about “haters” shortly after Caroline’s post was made.
“How’s that saying go…… [Melissa Gorga],” Joe asked in the caption of a video shared to his Instagram page.
And, in the video, as they enjoyed a couple of drinks, Melissa told her husband, “Haters gonna hate.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 premieres on Tuesday, February 7, at 9/8c on Bravo.
