ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY:  'RHONJ' star Joe Gorga became an unexpected target of online banter when he posted a motivational quote on Instagram.

Instead of receiving praise for his uplifting message, the internet swiftly labeled it as 'nonsense', leading to a wave of teasing and mockery.

Gorga's effort to spread positivity inadvertently turned into a troll-fest, with critics playfully mocking the TV star for sharing a 'positive message' despite accusations of harboring negativity.

On Monday, November 13, Joe took to his Instagram and posted a photo of himself with the quote, "Sometimes jealousy isn't because of what you've materialistically, people envy how others love you, the vives you give and how you carry yourself so well."

However, Internet users were quick to troll him as one commented, "Hypocrisy at its finest, Joe Gorga!" Another wrote, "You and your nonsense quotes."

"Yes and you are the MOST jealous of them all!" added a user. "Do you really think people are jealous of you. Your life is pathetic," quipped another. 

One even added, "You sound like a 13-year-old."

Netizens also mocked him for misspelling 'vibes' as 'vives' in his post. 

"If you're going to post this verbal diarrhoea at the very least get someone to proof read it or spell check it before you hit post," wrote a user. "Spell check!" suggested another. 

"Can spell materialistically but misspells Vibes "What are vives," asked a user. "Can I please be your proofreader?" mocked another user.

In the dramatic climax of the 'RHONJ' reunion, an explosive confrontation between Joe Gorga and Luis Ruelas took center stage.

Gorga didn't hold back, accusing Ruelas of being a "woman abuser," as per Page Six.

As emotions surged, Teresa Giudice, Ruelas' wife, and Gorga's sister defended her husband amidst the heated conflict.

The long-standing rift between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga seemed to reach a boiling point in 2022, stemming from rumors surrounding Melissa's alleged infidelity to her husband, Joe, as per People.

The relationship between the sisters-in-law hit an all-time low in August of that year when Melissa and Joe Gorga, Teresa's brother, were notably absent from Teresa's wedding to Luis "Louie" Ruelas.

During an episode of his SiriusXM radio show, 'Radio Andy', host Andy Cohen expressed deep concern over the intense animosity between Teresa and Melissa, going as far as to describe it as beyond mere disagreement, almost reaching a point of hatred.

He described the tension between the two as unprecedented and deeply concerning, to the extent that it nearly led him to consider leaving the reunion taping due to its disturbing nature.

The explosive revelation made by Teresa Giudice sent shockwaves through viewers and fellow cast members.

She alleged that her brother, Joe, and sister-in-law, Melissa, played a role in her legal troubles that resulted in her and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, being convicted on fraud charges back in 2015, as per E! Online.

Teresa asserted that a former business associate of Joe, entangled in their financial crime situation, managed to evade incarceration by implicating her.

She claimed that this was connected to her brother and sister-in-law spending time with this individual during the same timeframe.

Melissa vehemently refuted any knowledge of the implicated man, dismissing Teresa's allegations as an extension of a persistent theory circulating within the Bravoverse since Teresa's legal troubles.
