Oh, the Gorgas. If there’s one factor Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga have mastered (apart from over-filtered Instagram selfies and pretending they’re not dying to get again on RHONJ), it’s enjoying the sufferer whereas making an attempt to solid themselves because the neighborhood success story. Spoiler alert: nobody’s shopping for it. Particularly not the Wakiles.
Joe and Melissa Gorga Say Kathy and Wealthy Wakile Are Jealous of Them 9
On Melissa’s current podcast episode that was equal elements delusion and desperation, Joe Gorga recalled a riveting (learn: not) interplay along with his cousin Richard Wakile. Apparently, Wealthy had the audacity to not roll out a purple carpet when Joe waved at him from a dock—due to course Joe was sitting above Wealthy, each actually and metaphorically in his thoughts. Basic Gorga vitality.
Joe dramatically recalled:
“I am going, ‘Hey, Wakile, what’s up, man?’… I used to be going to say, ‘Hey, buddy. Welcome to the neighborhood… I used to be going to shake his hand proper there, bury the hatchets…’”
However based on Joe, Wealthy wasn’t having it. He supposedly responded with:
“Oh yeah? That’s Mr. Wakile to you.”
And that’s the place the story ought to have ended—a barely awkward neighborly encounter. However if you’re Joe and Melissa Gorga, nothing is ever simply that. As a substitute, Melissa took the chance to toss out a half-baked dig, asking,
“Didn’t the man nearly simply get canceled?”
Melissa Gorga
This from the girl whose husband practically did get canceled—for combating a teenager at a highschool wrestling match as a result of his son was shedding. Let’s not overlook: Joe Gorga needed to be suspended from video games over that mess. However certain, let’s deflect.
The Gorgas went on, turning this minor neighbor second right into a full-blown self-congratulatory remedy session. Joe referred to as a pal for backup (as a result of apparently this interplay was that traumatizing), and the pal helpfully translated Wakile’s remark as:
“He was mainly telling you to f*** off.”
After which got here the crescendo of delusion:
“They hate us for some motive. , they’re simply envious.”
Envious? Actually?
That is the place it will get ironic. Richard and Kathy Wakile have been thriving. Quietly. Gracefully. Efficiently. Not solely did they snag the lot that Melissa and Joe needed on the identical avenue (ouch), however they’ve additionally stored their dignity intact—in contrast to the Gorgas, who’ve virtually been auditioning to get again on Actual Housewives any probability they get.
The Wakile Household
And right here’s the kicker: whereas Joe was making an attempt to “be good” from his docked throne, what he was really doing was condescending. The entire “I used to be going to be candy” routine is code for, I used to be going to fake we’re cool regardless that I’ve trashed you publicly for years. Wealthy didn’t purchase the act—and truthfully, who would?
The Gorgas like to say everybody’s jealous of them. However possibly, simply possibly, what they’re calling “jealousy” is de facto simply folks setting boundaries. Or refusing to entertain pretend pleasantries from individuals who’ve spent years smearing them on TV. Humorous how people who find themselves supposedly so “over it” maintain bringing it up on podcasts, proper?
Right here’s a thought: Perhaps the Wakiles aren’t mad. Perhaps they’re simply uninterested. And that burns worse than any Bravo reunion ever may.
