HAWTHORNE, N.J. (1010 WINS) — A "Real Housewives" personality got into a screaming match on camera, and it wasn't one of the Bravo women.
Joe Gorga, the husband of "Real Housewives of New Jersey's" Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice's brother, raged at one of his renters last Thursday in Hawthorne, according to a profanity-laced video obtained by TMZ.
"You had nowhere to live and I f****ing gave you a house," the 42-year-old yells, accusing the unnamed tenant on the other side of the camera of not paying rent for nearly four years.
While Gorga received over $40,000 through the state's COVID-19 emergency assistance, his attorney, W. Peter Ragan, told the outlet that the tenant has allegedly owed nearly $50,000 dating back to October 2018.
The tenant warns Gorga in the video not to "come at [him] with a sledgehammer" and that he is going to call the police and get a "restraining order."
Gorga also accuses the tenant of "selling drugs," which he denies, saying "Where's the drugs? Look at the f****ing car I'm driving."
The tenant is reportedly a restaurant manager who lost his job during the pandemic.
Mike Martocci, Gorga's representative, told TMZ that Joe initially felt bad for the tenant and didn't want to evict him.
Ragan said they have now filed for eviction papers.
