RHONJ’s Joe Gorga Admits Marital Issues With Melissa

RHONJ's Joe and Melissa Gorga

At his recent comedy show, RHONJ’s Joe Gorga said his wife Melissa Gorga “avoids sex” and calls him a “loser.”

Per The U.S. Sun, Joe Gorga took the stage at Catch A Rising Star comedy club in Princeton, New Jersey, on Saturday, October 14, where he made his wife, Melissa Gorga, and their sex life the butt of his jokes.

An eyewitness told the outlet: “Joe kept calling out his wife in his jokes, making it seem like they have marital problems.

“He began by talking about having this dream he normally has about seeing this gorgeous mermaid with curly hair and ‘big t**s.’

“When the mermaid touched him, he said he enjoyed it and joked, ‘I haven’t been touched in 18 years, I haven’t been kissed in 18 years.'”

The eyewitness added: “He explained two instances when he thought Melissa was in the mood for sex but gave excuses like she had a stomach ache and another time, only gave him five minutes for sex. He made it seem like she keeps on avoiding sex.”

Joe then explained to the audience that Melissa would call him a “loser” if he didn’t take out the garbage and that she often claimed she was “bored” because he worked too much while she wanted to go out and have fun.

The 49-year-old then recalled a time when Melissa made him take a lie detector test to see if he was cheating.

According to Joe, Melissa’s antennas went up after he pocket-dialed her, and she overheard him making all these strange noises.

“When he got home, he said Melissa had her mom [Donna Marco] and her sister over waiting for him to ask him about the affair,” the eyewitness shared. “They also had a guy with a lie detector test who hooked up the wires everywhere, including his penis.”

The insider continued: “One of the questions Melissa asked him was, ‘Do you ever fantasize about any of my friends?'”

Joe said he passed the test, and Melissa believed he was telling the truth about not having an affair.

“If I were Melissa, I would be completely embarrassed by some of the stuff he spilled on stage, even if things he said weren’t true,” the insider concluded.

Melissa, as well as RHONJ cast members Rachel and John Fuda, Margaret Josephs, and Joe Benigno, were all in the audience for Joe’s comedy show in Princeton.

I spot a fake storyline. It’s hard to believe someone who has crooked ways and has been caught embellishing stories. Lil Joe, enough with the sex. You’re 49 years old!!!! If he were my husband and kept associating sex with love, I would call him a loser and I would have left him.

It must be in the genes since Teresa has bragged about how many times a day Luis wants sex and thinks it has to do with him loving her so much and not that he is just a bit of (or a lot of) a sex addict. After all, ex women (including his fiance who canceled the planned and scheduled wedding for early 2020 before he arranged to meet Teresa later in 2020) accused him of punishing them when they didn't go along with it and he did start the "Sacred Sexuality Meetup" in NJ in 2016 until ?.

What a misogynist little t)rd he is. Clearly, he has got nothing entertaining to offer, so goes to the gutter with sex references about his wife. Melissa could do better than him, his treatment of women is deplorable.

Maybe he should stick to construction and give up the comedy act.

My opinion their marriage they wanted to protray is not as perfect as they want everyone to beleive. Who's marriage is? The point is that they wanted to blame every issue to T. The way lil Joey disrepectis Melissa as a sex object is discussing. At time you can see her looking at him with discuss as well. It's okay for a man to look at his wife with admiration, love and respect.

Ahhh...storyline since they really have none.
Jen NYC October 19, 2023 - 1:46 pm
At this point what storyline do any of them have?

Melissa still being friendly with Margaret despite it being glaringly obvious that she went around telling her business is wild. It's sad, actually.
675309 October 19, 2023 - 7:45 pm
What business did she tell she shouldn't have?

The make out session with the guy in the back seat. The good looking one.

No she didn't. Aydin and Danielle spread it on TV after Marge's former friend supposedly told them and blamed Marge. However nobody saw the former friend so I'd guess it was just Teresa and that was the cover! Meanwhile Luis/Teresa told Joe. Don't forget, Teresa merrily spread rumors starting with the one (on national TV!) that someone's husband had sex with her mother or at least that is the first one I remember. Then we all saw how she was giddy running around Jackie's party telling many how Jackie's husband was having sex with other women. Sicko, she is. She also owes 100's of thousands in federal income taxes and has a website promising prizes if people give her their credit card info and have $9.99 a month taken but there are no prizes!

And Jerry Seinfeld makes fun of his married life. So what. That being said, at least Jerry is funny. So few people can do comedy and no way is Joe one of them. It takes years to perfect.

You obviously are a Teresa hater with your picture icon. It's okay not to like her. But in this case, the article is about Melissa and Joe. They portray this happy marriage when we know that's not the case. You can tell she is not in love w him. Will they ever get divorced? Probably not. Will they ever be happy? Probably not.
Shaunna Jackson October 19, 2023 - 6:04 pm
Yes, she is a Teresa hater and I agree with everything you said!
Italia October 19, 2023 - 9:03 pm
Riiiigghhtt, this article is about Joe and Melissa, which is why I didn't mention Teresa? Huh? BTW, he only says nice things about her and they are together 24/7 on their instagram. Keep projecting though. lol
675309 October 19, 2023 - 6:22 pm
That is all it is. He is doing the typical "trashing the people you know to be funny" and the story should be about whether or not he is going to continue something he isn't good at. He went way beyond dutiful husband with all the stuff she wanted to do so now it is his turn. I doubt if she is too upset with him using her for his gig since she has been trashed by his family FOR REAL their whole marriage and the media almost as long. I'd bet she knew he would and also knew it would give them and the show attention. They all want people to watch trashy RHNJ because they enjoy it and get lots of money for part time work.

Comedians make fun of their kids more than any situation. They still love their kids. TreApe fans will be waiting forever for this marriage to fail. TreApe will be on her third divorce before that happens.
675309 October 20, 2023 - 8:10 pm
For sure. In their pea brains I guess they think trashing Joe's marriage will continue Teresa's vendetta against her brother and his wife. Trashing him for trying to be a comedian may be relevant. Then again, I think it was okay between him and Melissa to get attention for his gig and more importantly the show.
Zap It October 19, 2023 - 9:29 am
I really do think their marriage is in trouble. Melissa has checked out which is why she acted the way she did at the reunion. She would leave Joe if she could still have her career and lifestyle. Why do you think Margaret told her she could get a professional athlete. Let's see what happens.
675309 October 19, 2023 - 6:25 pm
What reunion are you talking about. And how did she act? Like she was tired of taking it from his deranged sister? I did notice that, yet they were tight in the last reunion. She even agreed with him at the very end that if Teresa was in trouble, he'd be there and she said she'd go along with whatever the family wanted.
holy cannoli October 19, 2023 - 8:21 am
If shit is part of “ his act”., in my opinion, it ain’t funny!! Also I swear, if I were Melissa. I’d be pissed!
Ross October 19, 2023 - 9:43 am
Honestly I think these two are too prideful to get a divorce. They’’re more likely to be the type of couple who stay married and live on opposite ends of the house until they pass away.
ARIANA October 19, 2023 - 11:29 am
1000000000000000% i agree.
Zap It October 20, 2023 - 12:42 pm
IDK...I think they would likely just stay together because of their careers and money. But if they were ever let go from the show, I think they would get divorced. Or separated at the very least.
