The legal document continues, “The Plaintiff provided materials to the Defendants with a value, inclusive of finance charges, of $30, 264.06.” The lawsuit also accused Joe Gorga of receiving the materials, and then ghosting the company. The company claimed that they gave Gorgas enough time to clear the outstanding bills before taking the legal route. “The Plaintiff has attempted on multiple occasions to contact the Defendants and has apprised the Defendants of the amount of monies due and owing.” The lawsuit states. However, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, “failed to pay the monies owed to the Plaintiff for the materials that were previously provided."
The outlet reported that the lawsuit was filed on October 17, a month before Melissa and Joe Gorga moved into their palatial new-construction mansion. In the complaint, the company also claimed breach of contract and requested a judgement in their favor for compensatory damages, consequential and incidental damages, pre-judgment and post- judgment interest, attorney fees, and reasonable cost of the suit.
This is not the first time Joe Gorga has been accused of not paying his bills. In an earlier season of 'RHONJ' Joe was accused by Michelle Pais of not paying her husband for the services he provided. At that time, Joe managed to get out of it by declaring that they did not have any written agreement or contract, hence he wasn't obligated to pay.
