EXCLUSIVE: Joe Gorga Busted For Shoplifting From Home Depot!

Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Joe Gorga, has been busted for allegedly shoplifting from a local New Jersey Home Depot store, according to a close to the action source.

Joe Gorga has a long history of shady business dealings — all pointing to a crooked  pattern of financial dodgeball. In December of 2014, reports claimed that Joe and his wife, Melissa, owed $2 million to various contractors.

The source alleged that Joe Gorga owed “framers, painters, plumbers and electricians,” adding, “he doesn’t pay anybody.” Simultaneous social media rumor suggested that the couple “bounce checks on a regular basis” and “ignore payment plans.” In January of 2017, Joe was exposed for shirking a commitment to provide six low income housing units in one of his rental properties.

All About The Tea was notified that the Home Depot chose not to involve the police — but ordered that Joe Gorga be banned from the store permanently.

In January 2018, Joe Gorga and Melissa were busted for allegedly faking their way into the restaurant business, snagging a struggling eatery in order to temporarily sell their deceased mother’s dream to the Bravo audience.

During season 8 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey — Joe Gorga was embroiled in controversy over the ownership of Gorga’s Homemade Pasta & Pizza restaurant.

He initially claimed to own the restaurant, which was prominently featured on the Bravo reality series and dedicated to the memory of his and Teresa Giudice’s late mother, Antonia.

However, the real owners, Robert “Bobby” Gaccione Jr., Girolamo “Gerry” D. Cerrigone, and Richard “Ricci” Carroll, revealed that Joe Gorga had approached them to use their restaurant under his name — creating the impression that he was the owner for a TV show.

After the ownership scandal came to light, Melissa Gorga announced that the restaurant was closing, citing management issues and a level of demand that the small venue could not sustain. This revelation added another layer of drama to the show’s season.

Is thievery this family’s recipe for behind-the-scenes success?
