VIDEO: Joe Gorga Pushes Booze on Server at Housewarming Party Plus, Photos from the RHONJ S14 Event

RHONJ's Joe Gorga

AllAboutTRH has the tea on Melissa and Joe Gorga’s housewarming party – Find out which RHONJ stars attended + what drama went down!

On Saturday, Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga hosted a group event for season 14 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The two held a housewarming party at their new-ish Franklin Lakes, NJ home.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple moved into the home in late 2022 and have spent the last several months renovating the property after receiving backlash for their design choices on social media.

This year, Melissa and Joe took out a very large loan to make the necessary upgrades to their home. In April 2021, the Gorgas got a mortgage for $1.435M. With that money purchased the property on Indian Trail Dr and knocked down the previous home to build their current McMansion. Then, in January 2023, the couple refinanced and took out an additional $565k on their house.

In June, Melissa gushed about her newly redone home in her post on Facebook.

Now, RHONJ fans will get their first deep look inside Joe and Melissa’s house when season 14 of RHONJ premieres in 2024.

Joe and Melissa host a limoncello-themed housewarming party on Saturday night. The guest list for Joe and Melissa’s event included all of the couple’s RHONJ castmates, sans Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas, who were NOT invited.

Mostly, everyone in the cast wore white and yellow colored clothes to match the limoncello theme of the evening. A few didn’t get the memo, but c’est la vie.

Here are some fun photos from the event:

AllAboutTRH can EXCLUSIVELY confirm that the night had lots of drama. Joe Gorga spent much of the night talking about his older sister, Teresa Giudice.

Speaking of Joe, a video from the party is making its way around social media. In a video from the housewarming party, Joe can be seen pushing booze on one of the servers at the event. Joe approaches a young female server and tells her to “open up” her mouth as he pours tequila down her throat. The server is clearly uncomfortable, but Joe doesn’t seem to catch the social cues.

Check out the clip below!

Melissa also couldn’t help but bring up Teresa either. She paid homage to their infamous Pignoli cookie feud.

RHONJ fans had quite a bit to say about the clip.

“Look how uncomfortable she looks!!!” one fan commented.

A second fan wrote, “I’m not trying to judge. However, if I were a man like Joe, who had a daughter, I would ask myself, ‘Would I want a clearly intoxicated, seemingly handsy older man interacting with my daughter in this particular manner? Would I feel comfortable viewing this as that girl’s father?'”

“Ick, she’s working for him. Prob feels pressure to deal w/ this BS,” a third fan wrote, while another added: “This is gross and uncomfortable to watch.”

As always, stay glued to AllAboutTRH for the latest, greatest, and most exclusive Real Housewives of New Jersey tea on the internet!

RHONJ will return to Bravo for season 14 in 2024.

Joe Gorge has been forcing alcohol on everyone for years!!!!! Does bravo try in any manner to put a stop to the behavior? No! They brought Phaedra back after the fake rape accusations, so I doubt they have a moral compass at Bravo. Oh yes, I can’t forget them putting one white woman on a black woman show and allowing the white woman to be severely abused daily by a pack of racist black women!
Evil Queen September 21, 2023 - 12:01 pm
The bartender/server is at least 21 years or older. She knows right from wrong. She could have told Joey “Sir, I’m on the clock… I don’t drink….No. thank you. I have to drive.” Bigger question is why film it??? Why is it so damn important for many to post every. Insignificant thing that goes on in their life?
675309 September 21, 2023 - 7:28 pm
I think she was happy to be a part of the fun. The source is desperate to find something negative and when they don't, they try to take something that is nothing with a disparaging headline and text! It is to be expected! What is funny is in some article recently Teresa complained about people taking photos while the events are being filmed. Does she not know the source or pretending not to? I wonder if the server appreciates being used by a tabloid.
BS1 September 19, 2023 - 8:32 pm
Joe - You are old enough to be that girls father and are literally pressuring her to let you pour booze down her throat. Is she even 21?
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 2:33 pm
It looks like a fabulous party! As for the cookies, just stop! Is Melissa supposed to never enjoy pignoli cookies ever again? They ordered from Epic Cookies and who could blame them? From what I have heard they are delicious. Funny how y'all didn't mention Teresa paying homage to the cookie feud a couple of months ago when she featured them in one of her cooking videos.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 2:49 pm
For some reason this article made me think that if I heard one of the people paid by RHNJ were going to be my next door neighbor, which one would be one that was a good or okay neighbor. The only one I could think of would be Joe Gorga. Most of the others would make terrible neighbors, IMO.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 2:52 pm
I would love to have Jackie for a neighbor. Melissa would be great too, because she could help me with my style Gurlll, always look on point!
675309 September 19, 2023 - 2:57 pm
Oh I forgot about Jackie. Yes she and her nice husband could live on the other side! She'd be interesting to talk to. I wouldn't want Melissa as a single neighbor but with Joe as part of the deal she'd be fine. (I say that about Melissa because she may not get the necessary work done outside without Joe doing it. Ha.)
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 3:36 pm
I'm not understanding why holy cannoli is down voting just about every one of my comments as well as yours even the most innocuous ones.They do it on every thread. Guess they are either bored or not as neutral as they claim to be. ? It's all so silly
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 4:37 pm
??.????? If I down vote anyone it’s because I don’t agree with them that’s all. It’s not that serious. I get down voted a lot. And you know what? I don’t care .
675309 September 19, 2023 - 4:42 pm
So you downvoted someone for saying, "Yes they do" as a reply to "All the ladies look beautiful and happy to be there" because you just don't agree with that particular person commenting at all even though it isn't that you don't agree with the comment? Got it.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 4:47 pm
I just replied to holy from my notifications instead of from the thread. LOL! GMTA!
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 4:48 pm
Could be?, what do you care? Maybe I’m bustin chops, cause I can.? Again it’s not that serious .
675309 September 19, 2023 - 4:49 pm
Ha! Got it, like I said. Confirms my theory about extreme teresa fans.
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 4:51 pm
??
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 4:49 pm
So what? Seriously so freakin what ?!
SU September 19, 2023 - 4:49 pm
No you get down-voted because as HC said - your crazy theories, constant commentary and "know it all" opinions, makes you quite simply annoying. You post exactly the same thing under both your profiles 675309 and Que Sera. You did say many times that you wouldn't watch ever again, does that mean we will have the pleasure of not having you comment either?
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 4:45 pm
I never said it was serious. I said it was silly. I agreed with JenNYC that all the ladies looked fabulous, yet you took the time to DV that comment. It's just weird to me, but carry on and down-vote this comment as well. HAGD!
Jen NYC September 19, 2023 - 8:48 pm
Yep, I saw a downvote for my comment. Mind u I didn’t even mention anyone in particular just All the Ladies look Beautiful. So at this point it isn’t about the mere mention of pointing out anyone…it’s all about who posts no matter what they say…LOL!
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 8:56 pm
And that's the truth!
675309 September 21, 2023 - 7:40 pm
Not just petty, but quite the hypocrite in the example you are referring to. That confirms my theory about the die hard teresa fans.
sbud September 19, 2023 - 5:49 pm
Ignore the trashy Melissa fans. I write what I want. They respond with scary mean comments. I just ignore them and keep expressing my opinion.
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 6:12 pm
I only responded because I saw my name was mentioned ( a few times) and I needed to say something. I’ve never seen people get their panties in a bunch over people downvoting them ??????. They mentioned it so many times since they’ve been commenting on this site. It’s funny. Seriously who cares?! I downvoted a couple times just to bust their chops ??
675309 September 19, 2023 - 6:31 pm
Not all, if many, are "Melissa fans". I'm not a fan of any of them. I just sort of enjoyed aspects of the show a while back. Haven't noticed any "trashy Melissa fans". Some, like me, were fans of the show and bring up facts or fact based opinions about the people that are ruining it and that isn't Melissa or her husband. It will end up like NY so who cares.
sbud September 19, 2023 - 5:47 pm
Because she can hahaha deal with it
675309 September 19, 2023 - 6:26 pm
Hahaha, she can!
675309 September 19, 2023 - 3:52 pm
I was just thinking the same thing!! I actually commented to her earlier when I said almost the same thing she did to someone else but then she downvoted me. It had to do with Joe Gorga giving the woman some booze when she obviously didn't have a problem. I deleted my question as soon as I typed it because I already know why. It starts with her being a basically childish and petty type OR part of the site. Maybe just one of those "holier than thou" types.
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 4:38 pm
You come up with some crazy theories ???????. Ridiculous!! It’s not that serious , so what you get down voted. Life goes on.
SU September 19, 2023 - 4:50 pm
Damn straight sister...well said!!!
675309 September 19, 2023 - 4:46 pm
Didn't say it was but really odd to target people on a site like this rather than the comment. Like I noticed before however, this is a unique site when it comes to targeting commenters as much if not more than the comments like in your case. No problem!
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 5:02 pm
Ignore SU. I see they think you're someone else. Well guess what? I'm guessing they have multiple profiles since they love to bring it up so much. In fact they told me my account would soon be suspended and one other poster here also told me the exact same thing, so using their lame logic, they must be one in the same. ?
675309 September 19, 2023 - 5:08 pm
SU is kind of obsessed with that for some reason. I did learn to not engage with stupid on political sites but I forget at times with this place. I think that one has other profiles, too. Maybe it is Luis in reality! Maybe you and I are the same person! Ha Ha That will be the next thing it comes up with.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 5:14 pm
Damn straight sister ... well said! Oh no, I must be SU! ??
675309 September 19, 2023 - 5:19 pm
HA! Holy crap! Are you me or SU or you!? (Thanks for the out loud laugh!)
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 5:21 pm
YW. Catch you tomorrow. It's dinner time!
SU September 19, 2023 - 5:48 pm
Definitely not, you see you are lacking many things to not be me...class, common-sense, intelligence etc. Intelligence to understand that if you talk to your mate 675309/Que Sera on opposing sites about being suspended from this very site, you would have the nous to realize that people will see it.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 7:22 pm
Trust me hunnee, no one wants to be you. You are a lover of a felon and that in of itself is low class and trashy. You think you're a billy bad a$$ always telling me my account will be suspended because of my posts. I never attack first, let's be clear on that. And WTF cares if someone has more than one account? You clearly have stalker tendencies if you're so vested in going to other sites to see if someone is making similar comments. Get a hobby. I say it's more disturbing that you're so obsessed with posters who don't like the felon and come with facts about her How about you block and not worry about my posts and stop with calling for my account to be suspended. Have a blessed night, boo.
SU September 19, 2023 - 10:23 pm
Sit down and SU sweetheart. Find yourself another hobby, other than the same old trolling of websites like a keyboard warrior, spreading your dribble. Your rhetoric is as tired and old as you. Take a nap. BYE!!
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 10:50 pm
LOL, oof , you're so upset, that you used my get a hobby line. Will you be accusing yourself of being me, because you used the same words I did? ? Take a Xanax!! Oh, I must be Ramona, because I used her line! ? Speaking of keyboard warriors, that is you with your constant threats of having people banned from this site. YOU are THE keyboard warrior, not me and I wager that you are older than me, because you are so bored and tired that you go to other sites, then come back here to compare comments. Sad, really. Maybe you should take up needlepoint.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 6:59 pm
Obsessed and delusional, too. Or are you attempting humor. Ha, that is funny. "Opposing sites"? That is a new one. So there is such a thing? That is what this site is about, according to you? Interesting. What are they opposing? RB? Who else? How does that work out in $$$.? Interesting.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 7:36 pm
This poster goes to RB, where just about on every thread there are very similar comments made. I guess everyone must be everyone else on that site!
675309 September 19, 2023 - 7:55 pm
Poor thing is confused.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 8:09 pm
Confused and bored. I think it's comical they go to other sites, come back to this one and compare comments. Like Sweet Brown says... https://media1.giphy.com/media/iQ4eH8IQyZ4SA/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
SU September 19, 2023 - 10:29 pm
No you moron not confused, I would never comment on there, the posters at RB are repulsive, you two as contributors clearly would know that though. Now run along and speak to your imaginary neighbors Joe and Jacqui (not Melissa) about that...good story btw...can't wait for the next one...now to quote you..."HA!"
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 10:59 pm
There you go with the name calling. Talk about repulsive! So nasty, so rude! Oh, I should not have typed that, because now you will think that I am Nene.
SU September 19, 2023 - 5:43 pm
No, unlike you, just the one. And SU is more polite than what I really want to say to you...which is STFU. You are seriously so obsessed with Teresa, Luis and any related RHNJ posts, if I were Teresa, I would be disturb by someone like you and your bot like behavior. So guess what 675309 / Que Sera STFU!!!!
Ross September 19, 2023 - 2:06 pm
Not even surprised, Joey Josephine has an inappropriate relationship with a lot of women. I also can’t help to acknowledge my disinterest in their sizeable mortgage despite the fact that Louie paid cash for his former million dollar home in Allendale ???.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 2:36 pm
Since you mention Luis, then maybe he should have paid cash for his wife's HUGE IRS debt instead of going on so many exotic vacations this year!
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 2:38 pm
Bingo! He can't even afford to pay for his son's college much less her tax debt.
Jen NYC September 19, 2023 - 4:03 pm
It does make me wonder where all the money is coming from. Tre was warned not to marry Louie without a prenup, which IMO she should have definitely acquired. Her response was Why, Louie has more money than she has. Yes, she owes over 1 mil to the government. Yes, she said she needs work because she has to pay for her girl’s college. Also, adding that she didn’t want Louie’s financial assistance. So if Louie can’t pay for his son’s college, then where did the money for the lavish wedding & Cartier bracelets for all come from? And what about the money for all the vacations?
675309 September 19, 2023 - 4:14 pm
I think they are spending her bravo money (plus he gets paid something, too being a NJ house husband or boyfriend) as soon as they get it. She's doing odd jobs here and there. They are doing some deal with the company in Switzerland. He's constantly looking for opportunities that may be scams like the TeresaVIP site appears to be. I'm guessing he has money stashed away since he made a lot before plus he has money tied up in the house which he put in an LLC. She just needs to get fired and he'll be gone. The pitiful thing is if she does sooner rather than later, it will probably be sooner because of him! It makes me wonder, too. It also really irritates me because I pay my federal and state income taxes. I really wonder if they still owe as a couple for the 2022 federal income taxes!!!
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 2:47 pm
Looey' s so rich that he gifted all the Giudice girls fake Cartier bracelets for Christmas And, his first wedding anniversary gift to the felon were lab grown diamond earrings that he didn't pay for, because he and his wife did that advertisement for the company.
sbud September 19, 2023 - 5:46 pm
Tacky
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 7:50 pm
I think it was a good theme and I really like Melissa dress and Jennifer A’s outfit. The other women’s outfits ( from the pictures/ meh not so much?????. Tacky was on my opinion Joey .?????
sbud September 20, 2023 - 7:22 am
thats who I was referring to
holy cannoli September 20, 2023 - 7:26 am
Oh , ok . I agree ?
Laurie September 19, 2023 - 5:19 pm
I just harken back to Will Smith, “Keep your sista’s name out of yo’ f-in mouth!” But no name dropping, no storyline. :(. Haha
Jen NYC September 19, 2023 - 3:37 pm
All the ladies look beautiful and happy to be there.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 3:43 pm
Yes, they do.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 4:34 pm
They seem to be relaxed.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 5:10 pm
I'm sure it was a relief not to have the raging Lobster and his bridezilla there. The women, even Jenn A. have always seemed to have fun when the felon wasn't present.
Italia September 19, 2023 - 6:44 pm
Bill is THRILLED to not have to party w Ewey. Probably counting the days til he can divorce Jennifer and make his own choices.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 6:46 pm
That is a good observation. This is the first one he has attended, according to the site that continues to report on every event. In fact Teresa was quoted in an article complaining about all the photos about their events as they are filmed, yet the site that that loves her is the one reporting them first!
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 8:01 pm
I think once all the children turn 18, he'll leave her, and I hope he finds all the happiness in the world.
675309 September 21, 2023 - 7:36 pm
I don't think he can wait that long. It was my first guess by the end of her first season, too. He slept in the pool house and she slept with the two girls. Doubt that changed except Olivia is the only one that sleeps with her. Marge used that revelation against her when she was angry so she altered it to----he goes to the pool house after work. IMO. I don't really have much respect for him but I'd take him over her any day. He needs a decent, not greedy or mean, professional woman younger than him and I hope he finds one.
Zap It September 19, 2023 - 10:45 am
We were blessed with the opportunity to travel to Italy this summer and we spent time in Amalfi. I loved the homemade limoncello they make in the town and made sure to bring back a few bottles and a limoncello dress for our young granddaughter. Such fun. Not a fan of Melissa's behaviour recently but I love the theme and I love her dress.
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 10:55 am
1 ? agree. I love the theme. I love Melissa dress, and I love Jennifer A .outfit. Joe?????,
Zap It September 19, 2023 - 12:26 pm
Jennifer does look good. Actually I think all the ladies look amazing.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 2:50 pm
As much as I don't like Jennifer, I do have to admit she looks good.
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 1:03 pm
I’m not impressed with the other’s outfits., from the pictures, then again I might change my mind when the show airs ?????.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 2:26 pm
Oh, that is so interesting and how exciting for you! I had to look up limoncello since that is a new one for me. These sites can be educational which is a good thing! Ha.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 2:21 pm
The woman looked like she enjoyed being included. It looked people were having fun. Still think the house is too commercial/institutional looking on the outside but they should be able to sell it for plenty if they don't wait too long.
Hilda September 19, 2023 - 1:32 pm
I didn't see anything forceful. Perhaps she couldn't drink so much of a shot. But she didn't looked forced.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 1:57 pm
Looked happy to oblige and be included in the fun.
holy cannoli September 19, 2023 - 2:00 pm
Yeah , he didn’t force her at all in my opinion.
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 2:09 pm
Agreed.
michers September 19, 2023 - 12:25 pm
Well i won’t ignore the of reckless behavior yet again of Gorga nor his wife owing everyone money but getting free party goods . Overdone like her face and he is gross !!! That young lady - hope she files a complaint with her boss
675309 September 19, 2023 - 2:05 pm
I think the debt of $1,100,000 indirectly at the expense of those of us who actually pay their federal income tax is a much bigger deal before going on how many exotic vacations this year?! Are you ignoring that? She married such a wealthy wonderful guy in 2022 so why hasn't he paid. If Joe owes people money, they need to sue him and go to court and let the law figure it out. There is no question Teresa won't pay the taxes she owes from 2014-2021 as of 2023. She made enough in just one of those eight years with her part time bravo job to have more than paid it without all the interest and penalties making it worse. The young lady looked happy to be included in the festivities. There is video. She shouldn't be drinking on the job so sort of doubt if she would complain. Ha!
Blush128 September 19, 2023 - 2:35 pm
I was just about to mention the over 1 million the felon owes in taxes... a fact ignored by her fans. And, don't even get me started on the felon's overdone face! Her lips are bigger than Rinna's.
675309 September 19, 2023 - 2:37 pm
That one must think others don't read. Ha!
