Real Housewives of New Jersey Moments
5. Melissa Accused as a Stripper
No one is oblivious to the fact that Teresa always believed Melissa to be a pure gold-digger. This tension between them was what caused the first fight between the Giudice-Gorga family right after season 3. Teresa spread a rumor during the Posche Fashion Show that Melissa worked as a stripper when she was an elementary school teacher. Melissa did not take it very well, resulting in an ugly fight breaking out between them.
4. Margaret Throwing Danielle’s Ex-Husband in the Pool
One of the members from the RHONJ cast that no one should try to mess with has to be Margaret Josephs. In season 9, Marty Caffery, Danielle’s ex-husband, and Joe Benigno got into an intense argument at Jennifer Aydin’s pool party. But pulling off a whole “Margaret move”, she decided to push Marty into the pool, saying that he needed to “cool down”.
3. Teresa Downgrading Evan Goldschneider
The moment that left not just the viewers in utter shock but also the cast members was when Teresa began to spread damaging rumors about Evan Goldschneider being unfaithful to his wife Jackie, AT HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY! However, Jackie fiercely defended her husband on this and claimed that Teresa was doing such things only to maintain her place in the show.
2. Joey Gorga’s Christening Ceremony
The christening ceremony of Joey, son of Melissa and Joe Gorga, was an episode that garnered a lot of attention from the viewers as the function which was in the name of the Holy God quickly turned into a “Christening from hell”. When Teresa attempted to make peace with her brother Joe, his anger boiled quickly and they got into a heated argument which turned into a literal fight on-camera.
1. Teresa’s Flipping the Table on Danielle
Even after 14 seasons of the show, the most unforgettable moment will be the one from season 1. While Teresa was portrayed as a sweet, family-loving woman at the beginning of the show, things turned upside down when during an argument with Danielle, she flipped the dinner table on her in frustration. Videos of that scene keep going viral till now as the viewers could not get enough of the sudden change in her character.
These iconic and savage moments from the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” show why the series has been a fan favorite for more than a decade now.
