'RHONJ' star Joe Gorga embroiled in screaming match with tenant over alleged unpaid rent
foxnews.comJoe Gorga exclusively told Fox News Digital he was acting out of pure frustration following an explosive incident in which he confronted a tenant who he claims owes him $50,000 in unpaid rent.
In a video exchange of their heated argument, Gorga could be heard telling the tenant: "Pay your f---ing rent. Stop selling drugs in my f---ing building!" The tenant denied selling drugs and argued back, "You're spitting in my face!" Gorga said he initially allowed the tenant, who he says is a former employee, to move into an apartment in a complex he owned, and waived a security deposit and credit check as the employee allegedly "had no credit and couldn’t get an apartment." The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star filmed a verbal altercation with an alleged tenant who he claims owes thousands of dollars in unpaid rent. (Theo Wargo) "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star, who has been featured on the show for more than a decade with wife Melissa, said he initially received "two, three months rent" before the tenant allegedly completely stopped paying, according to Gorga.
Gorga claimed the issues with the tenant started before COVID began, but the tenant allegedly continued to evade him and Gorga "finally filed" suits against him to recover some money, the reality star said. "So, then he stayed through COVID," Gorga said before alleging: "So, for four years, he hasn't paid rent, not even attempted… not $100." The father-of-three told Fox News Digital he owns "thousands" of apartments, which range anywhere from "$1,450 per unit" to luxury buildings with rents above "$4,700." Joe and Melissa Gorga have starred on "Real Housewives of New Jersey" for more than a decade.
