On wife Melissa Gorga ’s “On Display” podcast, Joe shared that he saw Rich out recently and decided to aporoach him. In a friendly manner, Joe said, “What’s up Wakile?” Unfortunately for Joe, Rich was not having it. He claimed Rich simply answered: “That’s Mr. Wakile to you” and then drove off. Joe described Rich as “really rude and nasty” after the incident. He went on to reveal what he thinks the issue is that Rich and Kathy have with him and Melissa.
“You’re still bitter you got kicked off the show,” Joe shared, regarding Kathy being let go from RHONJ after Season 7.
“That’s what it is,” Joe reiterated. “Get over it.”
As OK! previously reported , Melissa also addressed Kathy on her podcast after the latter made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live . During her appearance, Andy Cohen asked Kathy about “building a house by Melissa’s new house.” “Yeah, Melissa Way,” Kathy sarcastically responded. “Apparently, she owns the street.”
Kathy also shared on the talk show that she found it “very convenient” Melissa suddenly wanted to make up — but seemed to shoot down any chances of that happening even if they live in the same neighborhood. In addressing Kathy on her podcast, Melissa shared, “I’m like, ‘Huh? Do I regret saying that after she had that weird attitude?’”

“It was weird,” Melissa added. “ I think she forgets who said they’re gonna cut the cancer out. [My husband] did what [he] had to do, which was support [his] family. [Joe's] sister asked [him] for something, and there [he was] being a good brother and did what [he] had to do.” Calling Wakile “a little petty,” Melissa noted that Joe and Kathy are “real cousins,” which is why she extended an olive branch. Since it wasn’t well-received, Melissa claimed she doesn’t “like the attitude” and Kathy can “stay on” her side of the street. Kathy and Rich are not the only family members Melissa and Joe have issues with, as they are currently not speaking to Joe’s sister Teresa Giudice and her husband, Luis Ruelas .
During Season 13 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey , which is currently airing, Melissa and Joe have yet to have any interaction with Teresa and Luis even when being in the same room.
wish Kathy and Richie were back on the show didn't know they were kicked off the show must of been Teresas doing

Abusers’ first tactic is to isolate their victims! Grow up Koe! Your Mom n Dad would not approve of your antics & behavior!
