And while he acknowledged that New Jersey has had no shortage of controversial personalities, there was one person who immediately came to mind. Jennifer Aydin. The conversation began when Harry asked Joe which former or current Housewife he would call first if he needed to cast a villain. “If I'm casting a new villain show? Which villains would I call?” Joe repeated, taking a moment to consider his answer. He then acknowledged that the franchise has featured plenty of women who could fit the description. “Alright, well, on *Housewives of New Jersey*, there were so many of them,” Joe said. But before revealing his choice, Joe made it clear that he wasn't particularly interested in giving that person additional attention. “I don't even want to give this person clout, but I have to. I have to say this.” Harry appeared intrigued by Joe's hesitation and questioned whether the person was really that bad. “Are they that bad?” Harry asked. “Oh yeah. They're villains,” Joe responded. After Harry admitted that he needed to watch RHONJ, Joe finally revealed his pick. “If I had to pull one villain, Jennifer Aydin.” ![Joe Gorga Calls Jennifer Aydin A “Nasty” Villain And Says He Doesn](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot-2026-11-09-at-12.50.16-AM.png) Harry burst into laughter as Joe laughed along with him. But Joe wasn't finished. “She's a real villain, nasty one too,” he added, prompting even more laughter from Harry. Although the exchange was playful, Joe's comments were another pointed criticism of Jennifer, who spent years at odds with him and his wife, Melissa Gorga, on RHONJ. Jennifer joined the franchise in Season 9 and quickly became one of its most outspoken cast members. Her close friendship with Teresa Giudice frequently placed her on the opposite side of the cast from Melissa, Margaret Josephs and other women who questioned Teresa's behavior. Over the years, Jennifer and Melissa exchanged insults and accusations, with their disagreements occasionally escalating during group events. Joe also became involved in the tension, particularly as the ongoing feud between Teresa and Melissa grew increasingly personal. By Season 14, the cast was so divided that Bravo opted not to film a traditional reunion. Instead, the women watched the finale in separate groups, reflecting just how difficult their relationships had become. Jennifer was ultimately left out of the revamped RHONJ lineup, while Joe's wife Melissa returned alongside Teresa Giudice and Dolores Catania. Interestingly, Joe's latest comments come shortly after he acknowledged that Jennifer had appeared to move forward with several of her former enemies. During a recent interview with Page Six's *Virtual Reali-Tea*, Joe discussed the unexpected reunion between Jennifer and Margaret Josephs at Frankie Catania Jr.'s wedding reception. The two women, who spent years exchanging deeply personal accusations on RHONJ, surprised fans when they posed for photos together. Joe revealed that the gathering was peaceful despite the complicated history among several guests. “Everybody got along. No one was throwing wine glasses. We had no tables flipping. No, it was okay,” Joe joked. He also confirmed that Jennifer, Margaret and Rachel and John Fuda were socializing together. “They all took a picture together. They're all hanging out, drinking, having a good time,” Joe shared. “I don't know, but time heals.”
