RHONJ actor Joe Gorga goes off on his tenant over an apartment dispute
A video clip recently surfaced on the internet showing Joe Gorga engaged in a heated argument with his tenant.
Gorga did not go easy on the lodger as he is seen screaming profanities in the clip.
Since it takes two to tango, the tenant was also shouting accusations at his landlord.
The incident reportedly took place on Thursday in Hawthorne, New Jersey.
Regardless, it seemed like the argument had been brewing for a while.
Gorga’s attorney, W. Peter Ragan has claimed that the dweller has not paid rent for a couple of years. He also added that the guy owes around $50,000 in back rent.
The tenant on the other hand has contended that Gorga has received a large sum of rent money from the state owing to the COVID-19 relief program.
Ragan responded by saying that the 42-year-old celebrity collected around $40,000 in COVID rental assistance from New Jersey.
He further added that the lodger has not paid rent from his pocket since October 2018 which means that he still owes Gorga $50 thousand.
Gorga representative, Mike Martocci, has mentioned that the New Jersey native initially felt sorry for the tenant and did not want to evict him.
However as we can see in the clip, Gorga appeared to have a change of heart.
Ragan confirmed that they have filed for eviction documents and are waiting for it to proceed.
Meanwhile, the tenant reportedly worked as a restaurant manager but was laid off during the COVID-19 lockdown. He said that he is trying to get back on his feet.
Has Joe Gorga had enough of the Real Housewives of New Jersey?
Joe Gorga made headlines when he stormed off the set of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion show.
For most of the seasons, he was caught in the arguments between his sister Teresa Giudice and wife, Melissa Gorga.
Regardless the actor seemed to have had enough when Giudice called him a ‘b**** boy.’
The term started another argument between the siblings and it was explosive.
However, despite the drama, Gorga is most likely to return to the reality show.
