On Wednesday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey episode, Jennifer Aydin informed Melissa Gorga about Michelle Pais’ claim that Joe Gorga owed money after an event the Paises helped put together. Both Melissa and Joe adamantly denied owing the Pais’ money.
“[Pais] told me basically that her husband and your husband were supposed to split the Growing with Gorga thing 50/50 and your husband never paid him,” Aydin told Melissa, according to Page Six. “She said the amount was like tens of thousands of dollars.”
“Tens of thousands?” Gorga responded. “What the f–k are you talking about?”
“That doesn’t sound right at all,” she continued, before eventually thanking Aydin for clueing her in. “Like, why would my husband ever split Grow with Gorga with someone else?”
Melissa called her husband and informed him about what Michelle said, which Joe denied Pais’ allegations.
“We had no deal,” he affirmed. “Basically, one of our friends hooked us up. He brought 10 people there to take registrations. And then he gave me a bill and I paid him. Done!”
Joe claimed that, months after the event, he was approached by Pais’ husband, who inquired about revenue. “So I guess when he saw the success, he’s like, ‘What can I get from it?,'” Joe said. “You know I’m not that guy.”
