Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Jennifer Aydin and Margaret Josephs have been at each otherâs throats all season. Margaret has criticized Jenniferâs tequila-fueled behavior at cast parties. Margaret also called out Jennifer for being a stay-at-home mother and tweeted that Jennifer âtreats her husband as a meal ticket.â Of course, Jennifer responded on Twitter and called Margaret âslutty.â
RHONJ cast member Michelle Pais told Jennifer at Evan Goldschneiderâs party that Joe Gorga was tardy paying some of his bills. Michelle claimed that Joe owed âtens of thousands of dollarsâ to her husband, Jon Steingraber. Jon spoke at Joeâs event, âGrowing with Gorga,â and was supposedly never compensated.
Jennifer eventually told Joeâs wife, Melissa Gorga, and miraculously, Melissa wasnât angry at Jennifer. No silverware or cheese platters were airborne.
During Teresa Giudiceâs pool party, Joe took Jon aside for a chat. Joe denied owing Jon any money. Jon finally announced that it was some sort of misunderstanding and Joe didnât owe him any cash. The entire situation seemed really sketchy to me.
Margaret, who is Melissaâs bestie, spoke out in support of Joe. âItâs inaccurate and, again, not true at all,â she stated. So, how does Margaret know this? âAnybody who comes with something from 18 months ago? Itâs obviously not true. I think Itâs crazy,â Margaret remarked. âMy husband [Joe Benigno], Joe Gorga and Frank [Catania] work together every single week and thereâs never been one issue with them.â I would love to see more of the Jersey husbands.

âMoney flows freely between them and so I just think this comes out of left field. ⌠It wasnât very authentic or believable,â Margaret said. During the first part of the RHONJ Season 11 reunion, Jennifer dropped a bomb on her co-stars. She must have been saving this information for the reunion for maximum shock value.
Jennifer stated that Michelleâs reason for joining the franchise was to embarrass Joe Gorga and Melissa. And Jennifer claimed that Margaret told her that she and her husband, Joe B. also heard the rumor that Joe didnât pay people. Wow!
(Warning-there is some rough grammar ahead.) On May 20, 2021 Jennifer tweeted, âI didnât tell Melissa what Marge said b/c I knew if I did, then that would have prolonged the story on Joeâs business deals & I felt it was too serious & and not worth the backlash-after talking to Tre about it, I decided to let it die,â Jennifer wrote. âThen I saw a pattern how Marge talks behind them &â Jennifer included a shrugging emoji.

A fan responded, âYou absolutely did the right thing! You didnât want to pile anything else but then it became clear how calculating Marge really is, so you let it out.â The user added, âAnd of course Iâm sure Melissa doesnât believe you. if viewers can see through Marge then why canât Melissa and Jackie [Goldschneider].â Jennifer tweeted a reply. âBecause they want to be allies,â she wrote.
This isnât the first time that Joe has been accused of some shady dealings. In February of 2020, Joe posted photos on Instagram of a home that he had supposedly flipped. The homeowner was shocked to see their house pictured since Joe hadnât done any work on it. The post was eventually removed after Joe threw his social media manager under the bus.
