UPDATED: #RHONJ Joe Giudice Screams at Daughter Gia and Sparks Fight with Neighbor — Cops Called!
Here we go again! Joe Giudice can’t stay away from trouble. The embattled reality star had the Jersey Shore police called on him during a fight with a neighbor on Saturday at his Stafford, New Jersey, TMZ confirms.
Apparently Giudice got into a heated screaming match with his shore neighbor, who called the cops on the Bravo star.
The argument stems from Joe’s eldest daughter, Gia being locked out of the house and trying to get in for several minutes. Once Joe finally let her inside, he could be heard screaming at Gia from the backyard … that’s when a neighbor stepped in.
When the cops arrived, they prevailed upon both parties to calm down. Giudice’s daughters also pleaded with the police not to arrest their dad. Ultimately, no one was taken away.
A rep for Giudice told TMZ that the argument began because the reality star was throwing a party that his next door neighbor felt his kids shouldn’t have been at. We’re told from the neighbor’s side that’s partially true, but she was also very concerned about how intensely Giudice was barking at his daughter Gia.
Joe is scheduled to start a prison sentence when his better half, Teresa Giudice, completes serving her 15-month prison stint.
UPDATED Details via E! News:
While police confirmed to E! News that they did in fact respond to an argument call Saturday evening, it appears many reports are greatly exaggerated.
“When we arrived we only spoke with the parties and cleared. No arrests. No charges. No reports,” police told E! News. “Everyone was calmed down before we left and there were no more problems.”
As to speculation that Joe was yelling at his daughter Gia Giudice, police had no knowledge to such an incident.
“This is much ado about nothing,” Giudice family attorney James Lenoard Jr. told E! News. “From what I’ve been told, all the neighbors down there love Joe, Teresa and the kids. Whatever this was or wasn’t, it’s over.”
He added, “Knowing Joe, he’ll be cooking steaks with this guy next week.”
While cameras weren’t rolling when the incident occurred, Teresa Giudice‘s husband has been occupied filming a Bravo special that follows his day-to-day life with his daughters Gia, Milania, Gabrielle and Audriana.
Teresa is currently serving a 15-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to fraud charges. She is expected to be released before the holidays.
