Gia Giudice called out her uncle Joe Gorga for posting his reunion with her father, Joe Giudice, on social media after bashing him for years on “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
“This is honestly comical knowing you were with him for not even 5 minutes and [were] able to have somebody take a video of the interaction meanwhile all you have done is talked so poorly about my father,” the aspiring lawyer, 22, wrote in the comments section of Gorga’s Instagram post.
“you are such a [sic] opportunist to take advantage of the once in a lifetime opportunity to see my father and use it for a post.”
On Sunday, Gorga, 43, posted a clip of him embracing his former brother-in-law, 50, while on a vacation in the Bahamas — where Joe resides after being deported from the US — and captioned it, “Both walked into the same bar at the same time.”

“A lot of history there,” he added. “We have memories since we were kids. I’m happy he’s doing well and looks good. We were both happy to see each other and catch up. Glad someone caught it. #life #rhonj.”
Both men appeared happy to see each other and had big smiles on their faces. (Joe was previously married to Gorga’s sister, Teresa Giudice, for more than two decades and the exes share four daughters, including Gia.)
However, after Gia criticized her uncle for sharing the encounter with the public, Gorga wrote back, “we both said horrible things about each other. It was a nice moment. We have a lot of history. Get the hate out of your heart.”

Eagle-eye fans spotted that Gorga’s wife, Melissa Gorga, appeared to have written the clap-back comment first. However, the “RHONJ” star later denied it, stating her husband had accidentally written it from her account.
This is not the first time Gia has fought publicly with Gorga over his remarks about her father. In a heated episode on Season 12 of “RHONJ,” the college student called her uncle “disrespectful.”
Gorga has had a long history of issues with Joe, stemming back to claims that his brother-in-law drove a wedge between him and his now-deceased father.
The real estate developer also accused the disgraced businessman of “[putting] [his] mother in her f–king grave” after his sister, Teresa Giudice, served prison time for fraud due in large part to Joe’s actions.
Gorga has defended his harsh criticism of Joe, saying in a March 2022 episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” that his intentions were to be protective of Teresa, 50.
“Before that day, my sister’s telling me they’re going through a divorce, and she’s telling me all these things that he was saying to her,” the standup comedian previously explained.
“So I’m sitting there, and I’m thinking about all this, and then we had that episode a couple days later, so I explode and it’s my sister — I’m trying to protect her.”
In October 2022, Gia gave Page Six an exclusive update on where she stood with the Gorgas.
The reality star told us just four months ago, “We don’t really talk as much now, but it’s OK. I’m sure we’ll move forward somehow.”
