Rich Wakile Reacts to Melissa Gorga Talking About Him and Wife Kathy

Jacqueline Laurita Reveals Why Kathy Wakile & Richard Wakile Will Never Move Forward With Melissa & Joe Gorga

Rich Wakile publicly called out Melissa Gorga after she talked about him and his wife, Kathy Wakile, in a recent interview.

Days after Melissa Gorga’s interview with Jeff Lewis Live made waves across the Bravoverse, Rich Wakile publicly called her out on her comments during the sitdown.

On Instagram, Rich Wakile shared an image of a plane flying in the sky with a message written on the side of the airplane that read:

“Move the f–k on.”

Rich Wakile reacts to Melissa Gorga’s recent interview about him and his wife, Kathy Wakile.

While we can’t confirm that Rich Wakile’s post is about Melissa Gorga’s recent comments about him and Kathy, the timing seems to add up.

During Melissa’s appearance on Jeff Lewis Live, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star confirmed that RHONJ alumni Kathy and Rich Wakile are building a house across the street from hers in Franklin Lakes.

“Her and Richie just bought the lot on my street, across the street from me, and they are building a house diagonal from me across the street on my street. Literally,” Melissa Gorga said on Monday’s episode of SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live.”

The Gorgas and the Wakiles have been estranged since Teresa Giudice cut Kathy out of her life for good during season 7 of RHONJ. Kathy left the franchise afterward and has not returned since.

Melissa then said that she hopes Kathy and her husband, Joe Gorga, can eventually mend fences.

“I secretly hope like Joe and Kathy are walking down the street one day and bump into each other,” Melissa told Jeff, noting that Kathy is a “good” person.

“I do think that [Joe] regrets, you know, he did what he had to do at the time to back his sister up and do what he had to do. But I really think he enjoyed Kathy.”

She added that her and Joe’s fallout with the Wakiles “has nothing to do with the show,” which is why she hopes that they can eventually rebuild a relationship with them.

“It is what I want for him, and I think deep down inside, he wants it too. Joe’s an emotional guy. He wears his heart on his sleeve,” she explained. “He, you know, it’s hard. He comes from a place where he feels like he has to please. He felt like he had to please people his whole life, and you know, you never know what people, how people grew up or what went on in life.”

Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 pm.

The Gorgas used them for a storyline and dropped them the second they had an opportunity to get in good with Tre.

I'm pretty sure Rich's airplane post was for Melissa. I listened to that interview and Jeff asked her if the Wakile's told them they were buying the property. We all know how Melissa can dance around a question she doesn't want to answer, gives her time to come up with a blatant lie. Instead of saying no, Melissa had a "funny" story to tell about how they found out it was the Wakile's. I'm not sure I believe Joe offered top asking price for the property either. I know Melissa is jealous that they are on the lake and the Wakile's won't need a redo on their finished home. Don't let the Gorgas use you again, tell 'em how you really feel Rich!!

At the reunion Kathy called their Mother a liar and their Father a coward. I would never ever forgive that

After some of Richie's comments on the show, I think it's funny that he calls anyone a farm animal lol. I'm sure neither he nor Kathy care that the Gorgas live across the street. Sounds like the property is worth that one drawback.
Elisabeth Carter June 26, 2024 - 5:30 pm
They cut the farm animals out of their lives. Joseph and Richie said the demise of their had nothing to do with Teresa. It was a combination of acts that the Gorgas did. 1) Melissa used his wife then tossed her to the side like she did Jackie bc Kathy was friend zoned. 2) They did not attend Victoria's wedding and that very action caused Rosie to kiss them goodbye permanently, bc Rosie loves her nice and nephew and all of them including Joseph are protective of Victoria due to her having a tumor on her brain. The Gorgas, who called themselves their aunt and uncle, flaked on the wedding and didn't send an apology or anything. Also, Rich visits Juicy in the Bahamas sometimes and he and Juicy posts pics on their IGs and Teresa or Gia don't say anything negative about it only when Joe Gorga did it for a publicity stunt.

Richie and Kathy know Melissa and Joe are users. No going back. The history of the families shows that. Melissa is just fishing for media sound bites and attention.

I really hope he was throwing shade at Meliar for this stunt.
sbud June 26, 2024 - 1:39 pm
Lol
Cat Can June 26, 2024 - 1:31 pm
I don’t believe the Gorga’s cut off the Wakile’s for Teresa. They did that for their own motives, but love to use Teresa as the excuse so it makes Teresa look bad and deflects any criticism of them. They have alway’s aligned themselves with people who hate Teresa, and have never cut off even a mere friend for her, so they must have had their own reasons for doing it to the Wakile’s.
Shaunna June 26, 2024 - 2:36 pm
You're SO on point, that Melissa is a snake! The Wakile's no longer served a purpose for the Gorgas's so they cut them off cold turkey. I remember when Teresa said at one of the reunions that Melissa should be sitting beside her, asked why she was sitting on the other couch.

Joe is obviously a highly skilled developer/builder and Melissa has a beautiful eye for design, but they need to get a new agent. Because to have a highly sought after property hit the market right across the street only to have it snatched right out from under you, has got to hurt. The Wakiles definitely out-maneuvered them, and are apparently no slouches in home building themselves.
Emmy June 26, 2024 - 4:26 pm
Not sure that is obvious. Definitely not highly skilled and eye for design...that's another stretch.
Enigma Wrapped in Hope June 27, 2024 - 3:17 am
As a person who works in the industry, I can tell you first hand that design is completely subjective ... what 5 people love, 5 people will hate, and vice versa. This is why I always resist the urge to be too "specific" in my designs.
Evil Queen June 26, 2024 - 11:24 am
Gotta love Richie!
holy cannoli June 26, 2024 - 11:42 am
I’m not a fan of Richie , but I will say he’s thrown some excellent shade .
Evil Queen June 28, 2024 - 5:34 pm
I’ve always liked Richie & Kathy as well. Richie is a character.
NikkiJax June 26, 2024 - 11:10 am
So then why move so close to the Gorga's?
holy cannoli June 26, 2024 - 12:05 pm
It’s a beautiful piece of property. I remember seeing Kathy showing the home and property on Instagram when they got it. It really is nice right on the lake. I’m thinking it didn’t matter to them that Joey and Melissa live in the same neighborhood.
CFF June 26, 2024 - 10:57 am
Richie is so immature. I do believe they are bitter they are not on the show, I hope they patch things up I love Kathy and Rosie.
Zap It June 26, 2024 - 10:41 am
Wow, I guess they don't want to associate with the farm animals after all. The Gorgas dropped them like hot potatoes when they were fired from the show. Cut them off just like that because they were no longer needed. And now, they want to kiss and make up for a possible story line. ?
Elisabeth Carter June 26, 2024 - 5:30 pm
lol.... Rich is still #1 with the shade.
whateverrr. June 26, 2024 - 10:40 am
I LOVE The Wakiles!! They were such great television. They were lighthearted and fun. I love and miss Kathy and Rosie the most! I wish Melissa and Kathy would be good again. I do hope in time they make a return to television.
BC June 26, 2024 - 10:47 pm
I always loved Kathy. I loved Rosie at first but she seemed to get a bit bitter and sanctimonious as her time on the show went along.
LiberalMediaIsCorrupt June 26, 2024 - 9:49 am
The Wakiles bought a beautiful lot ON the lake. The Gorgas cut them off because of Teresa. Look how that worked out. I love the Wakiles, their kids and ROSIE!
ARIANA June 26, 2024 - 10:36 am
The Wakiles said said the Gorga's stopped talking to them bc they were off the show and no longer needed them.
whateverrr. June 26, 2024 - 10:41 am
That isn't the case, though. Kathy and Melissa were close WAY before Melissa even joined the show. They cut the Wakile's off because of Joe and Rich and Joe was doing what Teresa said, for sure.
michers June 26, 2024 - 11:42 am
They literally said that . By they - the Wakiles. Kathy was close to her cousin / Teresa . But the Gorgas and tv changed it .
Shaunna June 26, 2024 - 2:41 pm
The Wakile's said that themselves so how is that not the case???
HermanL22 July 9, 2024 - 2:15 pm
Ha!! I just did the same thing with ROSIE!!! She was the best!!!!
holy cannoli June 26, 2024 - 8:53 am
I really don’t know if Richie posting this on instagram following Melissa’s interview. Was directed at her. But man the timing..?
