In a new preview clip ahead of tonight’s Real Housewives of New Jersey episode, Melissa Gorga and Jennifer Aydin engage in a full-on physical altercation after arguing over the two’s past scathing Instagram posts aimed at one another.
The drama all begins to unfold as Margaret Josephs and Melissa attempt to call out Jennifer for trying to dig up information to prove last season’s rumor that Jackie Goldschneider’s husband, Evan, was allegedly cheating on her was true.
“Why would you want to hurt someone else?” Margaret asks as Teresa Giudice jumps in to defend Jennifer.
This leads to Melissa once again pulling out the “never go against the family” card.
“Let this girl dig her own hole. You ask for loyalty; you give loyalty back! If she asks a question about Evan, she’s not digging? If someone asks about Louie, they’re digging?”
The anger then pivots from Teresa back to Melissa and Jennifer as they each try to defend their past Instagram attacks on each other. Viewers will remember a past post where Melissa posted that Jennifer would “throw her mother under a bus” for a storyline and labeled her as “fake and conniving.” This led to Jennifer’s retaliatory post that called the Gorgas “crooks” and called out Melissa’s “self-absorbed” and “self-obsessed” behavior.
“You feel like a hater. You called my husband a crook!” Melissa screams in the clip.
Jennifer defends herself by saying her post was in “retaliation,” and she even goes as far as to label Melissa’s husband, Joe Gorga, as a “little b*tch girl.”
“You attacked me that day for no reason! It wasn’t just a caption; it was a f**king novel,” Jennifer says, pointing to Joe. “Even he, little bitch girl, came in and commented. I wanted to respond in a way that stung.”
After that, the claws really come out as Melissa jumps up and storms over to Jennifer as the two begin getting into one another’s faces, leading to physical blows as Dolores Catania and Joe attempt to break up the fight.
