Melissa Gorga’s daughter Antonia Gorga recalled when strangers were tracking her movements on an anonymous app. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star also hinted at her dad Joe Gorga and aunt Teresa Giudice’s “anger issues,” as she shared what she thinks was their “problem.”
Throughout RHONJ, Teresa and her brother Joe have feuded on and off. But last year, their families came together and reconciled ahead of the new season. Recently, Antonia has shared that she’s watched the old seasons (including her family members’ physical and verbal fights).
On her cousin Gia Giudice’s Casual Chaos podcast, Antonia said she felt like a “celebrity” at her college in Delaware, as she was recognized by so many people.
“I was like, what is going on? Everyone was just staring at me. I almost was overwhelmed,” she said. “Why are people videoing me? Like I knew why, but I was like, this is crazy.”
“The amount of things about me on Yik Yak were crazy,” said Antonia, referring to the social media app that lets college students post anonymously to people in their proximity. “They were like saying where I was, where my classes were. I would also see on Yik Yak like horrible things. ‘She’s a beeyotch. She’s this. She’s that.'”
Antonia said that if she wasn’t smiling, people would call her a “b**ch.”
“I couldn’t like be a normal college girl,” she explained.
Later on, Antonia addressed how she separates her loved ones from the versions she saw of them on RHONJ.
“I just let everything go. I don’t ever look into things like too much. And I’m always like, all right, it was the past,” she said. “Whatever. Who cares? Especially like when I see [my dad Joe Gorga and Gia’s dad Joe Giudice] fight, I’m like, that physical fight, I literally was like, ‘oh my God, I’m going to pretend that didn’t happen. Like, what was that?'”
Gia then chimed in to say that she “fast forward[s]” through “the ugly things” on RHONJ.
Antonia went on, “The first few seasons, I was like, what are they doing? Like, my dad definitely had some little bit of anger issues, and so did like your mom [Teresa].”
Gia added that Teresa and her brother Joe are “a lot more similar than they think.”
“Oh, they’re exactly the same,” said Antonia. “That might be the problem. … Why [was] my dad throwing a glass against the wall? Why is this happening? Why are we … physical fighting? Are we serious? Like, you’re grown adults, like calm down.”
Gia also hinted that “outsiders” – with “toxicity and jealousy” – played a role in “what happened to our family.”
