'RHONJ' star Joe Gorga labeled 'shady' after he refuses to pay up Michelle Pais' husband the money he owes

When fans watched the exchange between Jonathan and Joe, they felt that the husband wrigging out of paying the money he owed due to lack of a written contract was extremely shady.

Joe Gorga may have managed to quietly settle down the money matters with realtor Michelle Pais' husband Jonathan Steingraber, unfortunately, that still didn't redeem his image in the eyes of 'Real Housewives of Nee Jersey' fans. 

New cast member Michelle Pais confided in Jennifer Aydin that Joe owed her husband tens of thousands of dollars for a job he did. Jennifer told Melissa about what she heard from Michelle. This immediately set off the Gorgas who felt that Michelle and her husband were just tainting their image with rumors of owing money and not paying up. So, on the latest episode of 'RHONJ', we saw Joe confront Jonathan about the rumors, and clear up the air.

Joe pulled Jonathan aside at a party and confronted him about the rumors. Jonathan calmly pointed out that since the event that he helped Joe host turned out to be extremely profitable, he was expecting to be paid for it. Jonathan also pointed out all the money he invested for the event and felt that he should be paid for it. Joe agreed with Jonathan but explained that since they didn't have any written agreement or contract about the payment, he didn't pay Jonathan for his services at the event. Jonathan decided to back down and said there was a miscommunication which led to the confusion. Joe was pleased on hearing it, and the two were back on good terms once again.

When fans watched the exchange between Jonathan and Joe, they felt that the husband wrigging out of paying the money he owed due to lack of a written contract was extremely shady, and slammed him for getting free work done. A fan tweeted, "This sh*t is soooooo sketch I think we all know Joe Gorga owes this man money and he’s just too rich to let it even phase him  Sorry Joe, but when you shake on it... you shake on it you’re not a f***ing man, you’re a disgrace  #RHONJ." Another fan wrote, "So Joe did owe Jon money but because there was no written contract, he weaselled his way out of it. That’s dishonest and shows bad work ethic. You don’t get people to do all those things for your business under the guise they’ll be paid, then completely sh^t on them. #RHONJ." "Sooooooooooo Joe scammed his way out of paying that man because there wasn't a written contract???? I'll be damned. #rhonj," commented a fan.

"#RHONJ: i don’t what anyone says that sh*t with joe gorga was shady. even if they didn’t put anything in writing which they should. he did all that work for joe and didn’t get a single thing in return. it sounds like without him joe the con wouldn’t have even had an event," observed a fan.
