While the feud between 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' stars Jennifer Aydin and Melissa Gorga is a tale as old as time, Melissa and her husband Joe Gorga are unhappy with Jen's social media posts about them. The 'RHONJ' Season 11 ended on a bitter note between the two ladies, following which both the Bravolebroities took to their respective social media accounts to take jabs at each other. After Melissa made openly hostile remarks against Jen, Jen retaliated by labeling the Gorgas 'crooks'.

This apparently hurt the reputation and the Gorgas' business, so they decided to confront Jen about it. When Jen refused to back down and instead doubled down on them by pointing out how Joe's shady business dealings were discussed on-camera, thus justifying calling them crooks, the husband-wife duo got very upset. Aside from being furious with Jen for calling them crooks, the Gorgas were also upset with Teresa Giudice for standing quietly and not defending them despite being their family member.

Later, Joe and Melissa threw a fit over Tre not having their back and still being friends with Jen. After watching the Gorgas and their exchange with Tre, 'RHONJ' fans sided with Tre and Jen. A fan tweeted, "#RHONJ Joe Gorga: Jennifer called me a "crook"! Me: I mean......." Another fan wrote, "What exactly do you call someone who steals from Home Depot and sells knockoff designer clothing in their boutique? Bc that kindaaaa that sounds like a crook to me #RHONJ." "Crook is the least @joegorga & @melissagorga can be called. I have a few other adjectives to describe them. @Teresa_Giudice wants to stay close to fam but sometimes you have to cut the toxins out. They are not on your side Tre. #RHONJ," expressed a fan. "Not like Jennifer lied when she called Joe a crook! #RHONJ," observed a fan. "I love how the viewers are all in agreement that Joe is a crook. Like that’s just truth lolol #RHONJ," joked a fan.



 



 



 



 



 



 

Fans also felt that Teresa was right in not defending her brother. A fan shared, "#RHONJ Joe & Melissa upset that Teresa didn't chime in when @JenniferAydin called them crooks but weren't both of them mute & deaf when @JGSchneid kept throwing the fact that Teresa did Fed Time?" "The Gorgas are mad about Teresa not defending them about the “crook” comment BUT.. They didn’t say a WORD when Jackie said to Teresa “Did you get the confidence in JAIL?” In fact they flipped out on Teresa for asking them to defend her.. #RHONJ," seconded a fan. "I'm pretty sure people quite literally called Teresa and her ex crooks, and you stood by them, but ok, Joey G. #RHONJ," added a fan.
