Joe Gorga And Gia Giudice Finally Discuss Their Issues | Rhonj (S12 E2) Highlight | Bravo

Allyssa Lopez: Gia has been put into adult situations since she was a child. They want to treat her like an adult and when she responds as an adult and not child it’s a problem.

TimeBucks: Gia needs to appreciate the fact that uncle Joe stepped up for her

Lizzy Borden: Part of being grown is hearing uncomfortable things about the people you love and accepting it. She can love her father all she wants but if hearing about the things he did makes her defensive she’s not ready for an adult conversation. The pain and hurt he caused people doesn’t vanish because he’s her father and people have a right to be angry about it and express that anger.

prize: Gia needs to appreciate the fact that uncle Joe stepped up for her, her mother and her sisters when their father messed up

Grace: Gia has always been a wise old soul. Her composure and skill in analyzing situations and people have been astounding (since she was a child). I fully understand Uncle Joe's hurt, but he needs to respect Gia's boundaries at this age and stage. Take it from the here and the now.(Melissa should sit this one out and let them handle it from one adult to the other).

Krista 💋 I WANT SЕХ 🔞 F Uc_k me: If her dad wasn’t so terrible and ruining everyone’s life around him, I would get gia. But she needs to come to terms with the fact that he is terrible and no one has anything good to say to him.

MariahBear: Gia has grown so much, she’s such a beautiful young woman too. I hope she continues to stand up for herself and her dad. Joe WAS disrespectful and dismissive to her and she stood up for herself, now he’s mad.

DJ M: This is where there's a generational disconnect, bc I understand Gia's perspective. Ppl like to use the fact that they are older as a means to control the way you can act, when you're younger than them. They also like to use it as a means to feel inevitably wiser, smarter, and altogether correct than you'll ever have the chance to be, before you even speak a word on a given matter. Despite this, Gia made a valid point imo, which is that she wants to have a rational conversation with respect, rather than being talked down to, just because she's a niece and a 20 year old. She didn't say anything outlandish other than just wanting Joe to speak to her like the adult she is, rather than the kid she used to be. And she also didn't want his hot temper to blow up, as soon as she speaks with an honest heart (which ofc, it did anyways, as he goes running off like a dramatic child). She doesn't negate that he wasn't there for her in a big way throughout her life, but her Dad is also her father, whom she is very close to and loves dearly. Sometimes, it feels like Joe's disdain for Gia's father makes him feel justified in making Gia almost put him on a higher pedestal in respect and admiration than her own father. This type of behavior is both unfair and simply wrong. Gia is clearly observant and recognizes this, which is likely why she holds a slight grudge w/the blatant disregard Joe seems to have toward her father and her relationship to him as a whole. She naturally feels that a lot of the ways her father was treated wasn't entirely fair. And what's wrong w/her feeling that way? I don't think she said anything terribly mean. And she certainly wasn't behaving in a rude manner. The only one who did that was Joe. Period.

Nells: Joe is a amazing dad & uncle from what we see on tv. He’s funny & says it as he see’s. When Gia becomes a grown woman with a family of her own … than she’ll understand where uncle Joe was coming from.

JS: I can see both sides of this conflict. If someone spoke negative in public about my father I would be upset, and Joe is defending his sister and kids who he loves dearly. I get it!

Samantha Ruddell: She didn't scream or anything. She handled it so well! My dad had a bit of a past and if someone said that about him I would be so hurt and upset. Handled it mature, you go girl!!

Honeyluxx24: If her dad wasn’t so terrible and ruining everyone’s life around him, I would get gia. But she needs to come to terms with the fact that he is terrible and no one has anything good to say to him.

Fabio Chiodini: Gia's right, the way Joe started the conversation was confrontational in his tone of voice. No matter what, everyone is due respect, pulling the age and the godfather card is wack and dumb. Period. And that's why we have disrespectful husbands, wives and adults in general, because as younger individuals they have been talked down to and spoken to like they're nothing. It's a viscous cycle. When you speak to a child, a teenager or an adult you should always respect them, their perspective and right to voice their opinions.

iiceeglam: What exactly did Gia say that was so disrespectful to y’all? Outside of this make believe construct of age and y’all still seeing her as 12… what did she say???

Honeya Fun: it's ridiculous, Joe watched his brother in law treat his sister with disrespect for years and didn't say anything because she didn't want him to, then he had to see her sent to jail because of him and see the poor daughters suffering first without a dad, then without a mother for years and now he's expected not to be angry or not allowed to say that made him angry? He's done more for those girls than their own father ever did and they have no right to expect him to fake respect for Joe now..

viiont eooiy: Omg now that the kids are adults, they will be opinionated and I love to see the chemistry they brings to the show.

gaby descoteaux: Its hard to watch Joe be so agressive and intimidating towards Gia.... Good for her for not letting herself be intimidated! Go Gia!!!

Shakyel Arnold: A few years ago me and my little sisters had the same issues (me talking about their father in public, to them and on social media). No matter how many facts I brought up to prove my point, they would defend their dad (as they should). Long story short it took the idea of me losing the relationship that I have with little sisters for me stop. Simply, because my love for my little sisters exceeds the hatred I had for their father. Also my gruge against him wasn't going to heal me, or my family. Joe honestly, needs to be the adult and get over it..

RealTakerslady: I was proud of Gia, she has a right to speak her truth

bearin29: "I've been in love with you since you were born." That says it right there. He will do anything for his sister, and that extends to her babies. He cannot support the idea that someone else hurt them so badly. He is such a good brother.

Britni Gray: The disrespect is terrible. I love that she loves her dad, that means he was doing something right. But she shouldn’t be disrespecting her uncle. If she doesn’t like the conversation she should walk away. Her uncle was there for her too, she has to remember that.

Maj A: Shoutout to Gia for setting boundaries and being the most mature one in the situation. Nothing she said was wrong, Joe was just offended that she-a young WOMAN- had the audacity to say anything back at all. Joe inserted himself into the conversation, so it is what it is.

✨Taina✨: Love Gia!!! good for her she had to put a STOP all that disrespect. Especially towards her parents!! All the years her so called uncle verbally abusing her Mom Teresa on the show. It hurt to watch. I can't imagine how he really treated her behind closed doors. It's disgusting how he talked so badly about his own sister!! That's NOT a brother or an uncle. Good for Gia she had to stand up for her Mom & Dad!!!

JDanielleuc: Gia handled herself well, Joe let’s his emotions get the best of him.

Isiah Williams: It's important for Gia to let Joe know how she feels. As an adult woman now, I applaud her for not letting her uncle use an aggressive tone with her as he did when she was a kid. It's commendable because it means she's not going to let any guy talk to her the way she watch her dad and uncle talk to their wives. She could have worded it differently, "Do you mind lowering your tone" or whatever but I get it. Adults don't like being challenged by mini adults because they will always view them as kids.

theIncognitoGypsy: I am in Joe’s exact position. My niece’s father was a piece of work. I held my tongue in my niece’s presence out of respect for her, because that was her dad. He has passed on now. She knows what kind of Father he was, as she has children of her own now. She knew back then. She did not, however, need me or anyone else to point the fact out to her. We have remained very close. I hope Joe will respect the girls and let it go. I like him. But I have the girls on this one.

MrAntbluntfreaks: People living in glass houses, throwing stones and get surprised when the glass breaks. That little girl is really disrespectful. Even if she doesn't like what her uncle said he wasn't lying. Her mother should have said something to her.. Being an adult means you can be upset with your family but you STILL know your place and respect.. Just Saying

D W: It’s sad to always see their family going thru drama. Gabriella is my favorite. She is so chill and she just quietly observes.

Elidi Fletcher: Finally speaking up Gia Exposing a real internal crisis If we all had your courage, we might Have survived as women

Pleasurepartyten Nine: YES, HER DAD MADE MISTAKES ,BUT THAT'S HIS SISTER ..... I FEEL YOU JOE ... I PRAYER THINGS GET BETTER FOR THE FAMILY.

MsTiamaria25: I am sure she appreciates what her FAMILY (Tio Joe) has done for her when her Dad wasn't there or whatever the case, but that woman is 21 years old and can also expect and settle for nothing less than the respect she deserves. She CAN speak her mind and doesn't need to walk on eggshells because of what someone has done for her. GTFO! I don't really even care for this family like that but at the end of the day that is her father and I don't blame her for speaking up for him.

Beautiful And Sweet: I love Joe and he is the best brother and uncle ever. I appreciate all joe has done but This conversation in front of Gia placed her in a position where she was forced to defend her dad. This was a conversation that should have never taken place with the daughter present.

kay ada: I respect Gia's love for her father, but as an adult now, she also has to acknowledge that her father put her family in alot of pain and turmoil. He chose to make those decisions without thinking of the implications to his family. I come from a culture that you have to respect your elders, tone is very important. Her uncle has done alot for their family and she should start with acknowledging that first and gently express her feelings. Joe needs to also listen to her feelings, and don't disregard them.

E J: Their oldest daughter is so beautiful, she have the pretext eye, like her mother.

O C: I'm actually proud of Gia. It's so hard to stand up to an adult who still sees you as a child. She didn't even say anything mean to him she just called him out and I'm sure it hurt but he could have kept his cool.

Kelly Faria Santiago: He totally wasn't talking down to her...and she got so snippy with Melissa "don't get me aggravated" wow

Chrissy'M: Omg, I remember when this show first began, he loved her so much, but he needs to learn how to communicate, let her speak, understand her concerns, and then he speaks and she accepts and understands his feelings too....I hope it's all worked out in real life...

MBM: Gia is simply doing what any child who loves their parents would do, it does come across disrespectful because of her tone but she has every right to stand up for her father.

Bella Biesel: This makes me cry. I love them both.

Aubs: She has every right to say what she said in defense of her father, and she did it in an incredibly calm way. They are all just gaslighting her, Melissa included. Good for her for realizing it.

Carmen Rodriguez: When she said don't get me aggravated LMAO. It's almost like hearing her mom. Her dad can say negative things (legit ruined lives) about her uncle and everyone, but no one can respond, because it's off limits. Remember when Teresa kept coming out in magazines and giving interviews but nobody on the show could speak on it.

Hannah McCoy: Gia went through a lot over the years. I don’t think she meant to come off rude to him. There are more deep rooted issues I think. She knows uncle Joe stepped up for her and her family.

Lynda: Gia’s relationship with her dad reminds me of Kandi’s relationship with her mom. Kandi knows her mom can be wrong and disrespectful but she won’t allow anyone else to talk bad about her simply because she has real love for her. That’s how Gia is with her dad. Even though he’s done wrong she still loves him and won’t allow others to speak badly of him. Tough situation because the Gorgas have every right to be upset too.

Mainlands: The way joes face changed to a smile you could see his love and respect for her.

Holly Wood: Real family stuff. That's why RHONJ will always be the best.

Ami Black: I know EXACTLY how Joe feels. Gia was completely disrespectful to him, even treated him with contempt...after all he did for her and her family when her father screwed up. How does she THINK he's going to feel about her father?? She needed to be called OUT, yet nobody except Joe did so. COMPLETELY out of line and thinking she's grown enough to speak to him that way...Teresa should have called her daughter on her awful behavior. I don't deal with my disrespectful nephew anymore for this reason. I picked up the pieces when his piece of crap 'parents' BOTH dropped the ball BIGTIME & did it because I loved him; later on gave him a job, a way to support his family, a brand new house, and never said one negative word about his sperm/egg donors to him & there was plenty to say, believe me. Despite all that, today he looks at me with the contempt that this little snot looked at her uncle. When Joe said "for 20 years" I knew exactly what he meant and felt. Not a Joe Gorga fan usually, but I support him one hundred percent here. Sorry for the rant, it triggered me a bit.

Tcc Tha: Gia is the prime example of thinking your grown but having no clue the world will chew you up

Ana Martinez: Gia is an adult now. She might not have life experience but she knows exactly what she is talking about and serves her voice to be heard and respected. Family adults have mentality kids will stay kids forever but they do grow up and they do deserve to be respected. At the end of the day she is defending her father and rightfully so. Go Gia!

liz: That's still her dad though. She has a right to feel something, and regardless of what he did, for her sake he should respect that. She was very mature about it too.

Kenyatta Knox: Ooooh Gia, that’s your uncle. I think Joe would lay down his life for you. To see him upset like that, I almost wanted to cry. You definitely should’ve talked about that off camera and I bet you he would’ve made amends and apologized ON CAMERA about the things he’s said about your dad.

Sandra Nel-Hawkins: Gia is feeling herself now that she's grown I guess I would have never been able to talk to a grownup like that, let alone an uncle or aunt who's a blood relative. Even now Her Dad was not the best man or husband a few years back he treated her Mother so crap! Including a lot of other dram so they should make this a topic they agree to disagree on.

Conscious Anfesia Shapsnikoff: I completely understand Gia's issue with Joe. I had the same experience with my jackass'ed uncle who spoke ill of my late father. I went ham on him, and Gia had every right to be upset with Joe. Imperfect close male relatives have zero business taking reckless about a male parent.

Mary Kay: i was shocked that she was allowed to talk to her uncle like that. from the minute she opened her mouth, she seemed hostile, while he seemed very hurt and disappointed during their whole conversation. she has every right to say look, dont you see that this is exactly how you make us feel when you put out things about our father?...but mumbling under her breath, not even adressing him directly, and then saying i am an adult, you being a godfather or uncle means nothing to me, while laughing in his face...i swear to god my mother would have spanked me, 21 or not.

Jeniffer-H0T Girl-C0me 0ver L!ve: I truly believe Joe LOVES Theresa and especially her children. He express genuine discomfort to their hurt and anger when it comes to them. I think he's upset that Theresa allowed Juicy-Joe to get away with so much and there's a lot of bitter feelings there. They need extensive and ongoing therapy with an urban therapist who's not afraid of ANYTHING. And I'm talking, someone who doesn't flinch when they hear a gun go off kinda therapist. That way when they yell, flip things over and such, they're not banned or won't scare off the therapist

Andreah Ramirez: He literally was being rude to her when she was trying to speak about it. And then continued to be rude to her and call her “disrespectful “ just because she was stating her feelings.

Renee' D.: And when she raises her voice with attitude to Melissa "don't get me aggravated!" How disgustingly disrespectful. And with more attitude "I'll go talk to him" it just feels all wrong.

goober beans: Gia is my total goal!!! I hope to have her confidence someday.

SUKANYA PURTELL: One thing about Gia is that she’s going to stand up for her father!

M. Valenvox: Gia was auditioning for the show. She’s going for that tag line . Perfect timing to be a star . I don’t blame her .

Noir Lily: "Don't get me aggravated now" Gia is NOT easy!

Vanessa Locklear: Nope I love her! Respect her so much for standing up to him. Respect is given to be given back. You don’t talk down to your family.

Anabell Garcia: I love Gia ❤️ so much respect for you you girl.. you are more mature than all of them..they are embarrassing

Lady Rae: I wish someone loved me that deeply. Wow. She is still very young and her father is the king to her. She will wake up and see her Uncles side but when you’re at that age you wanna defend your parents. She is such a mature young lady and they all should be proud of who they raised.

Pocahcuntas: Oh my god Gia is literally beautiful that’s so crazy I didn’t think she could get even more prettier

Julie t: I’m an adult, I STILL wouldn’t speak to my uncle this way! Period! She is her mothers daughter. She’ll see it once she’s older. She’ll see it all. At that age we don’t appreciate the lessons until we’re older. I don’t blame her much for being as disrespectful as she was..

Slim Da Don: Her brother wrong Gia grown and I felt like he was out of pocket speaking on there father in a negative way . . .

TeleeFONE: Omg now that the kids are adults, they will be opinionated and I love to see the chemistry they brings to the show.

Ateya Rich: He loves GIA like his own daughter...so I feel like she should've done that OFF camera.

Geostar011: I got what Gia was saying to Joe Gorga. Joe has a right to his feelings about Joe Giuidice as a man but not to talk smack about him as her father, particularly in front of her.

s: Gia loves her father and so of course shes going to stand up for him

Candace Osei Bonsu: I would be hurt too. me and my sister are really close (2 years apart) and if her kids disrespected me when they got older I would be upset too. On the other side she just wants to show she’s not a little girl anymore-Gia is Gorgeous

Julie Elizabeth: She's mad at him for having genuine feelings as if it's not allowed. I was appalled at the way she lashed out at him. We have another Teresa on our hands.

Riky V: I feel so bad for Joe and Melissa they constantly keep getting sucked into Teresa and her family drama‍♀️

Kayla Fogarty: Gia definitely comes off with an attitude. You’re still young girl, you have a lot to learn. That family is so ridiculous.

Nguveren ANDE: When he said "who raised you?" I was like very good question. You're all grown up now so you can be disrespectful. There are polite ways to have a misunderstanding

Abby Cortez: I completely understand Joe’s feelings and views. Gia needs to understand and not sugarcoat the actions of her father. My father went to prison for 13yrs ruined our entire family and cause so many problems. Put my Mom and sister through the worst. People are allowed to express their feelings especially when it hurt them personally. I’m team Joe on this.

Harold Tia: Gia is becoming a Housewife, that's scary hahaha I can see her mother in her eyes it's crazy!

Leila S: Joe and Melissa were there for them while their father was in Jail for something he didn’t think there will be consequences for his behavior, what he sis he did it to the whole family.

Vee Jay: Gia has always seemingly been that child that was in the midst of adult conversations, etcetera. The fact that she expressed that she is 'grown' now was nauseating. This does not in any way indicate that she is her uncle's equal. She clearly hasn't been taught respect. Teresa looked scared to even interject and correct her. The facts: her father is the reason that her mother served time away from the family, including her parents. Her mother (Teresa) suffered a great loss and it can easily be linked to her father's actions. Time with her mother was lost. This is a fact. Dear Jo was taking up for his sister and the pain he has witnessed. Does she NOT recall the pain that her mother endured? Yes,  you love your father but.... even in love, you recognize that he is NOT perfect. And, in this case, he's wrong. The strong stance that the children are taking is slightly baffling. Teresa seemingly has a hard time deciphering between right and wrong....not seeing the full picture, in many situations. Her children seem to be the same.........

Lucia Harbour: watch this scene with Ms. Gia and her Uncle Joe. So glad they worked it out. Kudos to Gia!

Coralys Rosas: I feel sorry for Gia she’s a product of a broken home and has a mom that has a terrible attitude. Gia was talking to Joe with a bad tone and demanding respect with an attitude. Gia is just like Teresa a hypocrite. I hate to say it but these type of people who demand respect yet don’t feel the need to respect you back, are people who feel superior to others, they have a sence of entitlement to be deserving of being respected.

Lisa Melroy: Joe and Gia need to have a real conversation about this stuff, off camera and away from everyone else.

Crown DaBee: At the end of the day that’s still her dad she has every right to feel how she feel. Him defending his sister was one thing but he didn’t think about his nieces feeling when he bashed the father publicly like he did. It’s a difficult position to be in

bonitapretty100: Even if Gia appreciates JOE the main problem is he doesn’t want her to have a good relationship with their dad he shouldn’t speak badly of their dad regardless of how he feels bec it hurts them

S Wyns: I’m so glad she said some thing. That’s how a person with guilt behaves. He’s going to talk about how he loved her since she was born, use gaslighting tactics by enforcing his familia uncle title into the mix and her age to somehow get her to filter or mince her words yet doesn’t want to acknowledge his anger and pride outweighing this great love he has for his niece and goddaughter, heck the rest of the children when he and all the adults from Theresa to Melissa, Season 1-4, of the adults decided to act crazy and diminish each other’s characters- ‍♀️ you get what you get. Accountability is hard mf pill to take especially when being served by somebody who he should be teaching versus teaching him. Well done GiGi

M: Gai shouldn't bend the truth. Her father was fraudulent, disrespectful and rude... dont make him out to be like this great role model

msllubin8: I'm happy how Melissa and Teresa came together to make sure uncle and niece could squash it.

Thewildthornberrie: The toughest thing you ever have to do as an adult is set boundaries

Fallon IsLove: Gia is not the one! lol. This is her setting a boundary. Just because you’re older than me doesn’t mean that you deserve my respect. Respect is earned. The older generations are too hush hush and phony about stuff like this. She never once raised her voice at her uncle she only said to stop disrespecting her father when he’s no where to be found.

Griffin: Dolores speaking facts ❗️❗️❗️ “if you’re gonna fight let’s take it outside”

Laura Of The Valley: I truly believe Joe LOVES Theresa and especially her children. He express genuine discomfort to their hurt and anger when it comes to them. I think he's upset that Theresa allowed Juicy-Joe to get away with so much and there's a lot of bitter feelings there. They need extensive and ongoing therapy with an urban therapist who's not afraid of ANYTHING. And I'm talking, someone who doesn't flinch when they hear a gun go off kinda therapist. That way when they yell, flip things over and such, they're not banned or won't scare off the therapist

Lynn Kraft: I love this clip because I love it when they're trying to start trouble with an a false alleghation. about Louie and the very very tough Teresa Guidice is ok so what? goes and says yeah okay that's fine so what. but the reason I'm writing is on behalf of you, and that is that your father did not deserve what happened in the sense that (my late Father was a lawyer and I follow cases all the time )your father and mother made some mistakes they didn't kill anyone they're not ax murderers, okay, they're not the Son of Sam the the press, and the paparazzi were brutal to your father, they said things about someone who was basically a family man he loved his children and wife I mean they were absolutely brutal on him your parents oh that's what they did they served their time he was trying to hold his family together you know and when he went into prison your mother started seeing other people so he used the time to get better physically fit but you were the a voice of reason in this situation you became your father's first defender in this situation with Joe Gorga; he may never say the words you want him to say; about your Father but his heart and soul is right there with you, sometimes we have to weigg in life whether we whether, any relationship because he he may not just be able to say the words that you want to hear but his love and care and concern and soul and all of those things will never change I think that he fell into a role of trying to defend the the sister in like the truth your grandmother and grandfather both died would your father went to serve time your mother began seeing other people but you were the voice of reason trying to keep everything together just remember that sometimes you have to look beyond the words and realize where Joe Gorga heart and soul in words back is got your back just have to weigh whather or not he may never be able to say the words that you're looking for but you have to look beyond the words and if there's anything that hurts him beyond you Father's is if it cost him a minute without you in his life. relationship with you so why don't you join I said the beauty influencers just drop in on our YouTube platform share with us some of your makeup and beauty tips, Blessings Lynn

Openyoureyes39: Love it Gia!! She is the most mature person in this whole group!!

Rajani Nixon: Gia has a good sense of self

PlayboyPrincess: PROUD OF YOU GIA

john haxby: wow Gia is the complete opposite of her mother, its so nice to see Gia reason calmly, no yelling or flipping tables. What a mature level-headed young lady she is.

Rachel's video channel📽️: There is always a certain way on how to speak to your elders. If my uncle spoke badly about my father, I would share my feelings in a sit down with just me and my uncle . I would do it in a respectful way regardless of how upset I am at him. I will never speak to my uncles the way I speak to my friend's or strangers the way Gia did!

Karen Capriotti: Like Joe said, it’s “horrendous” how Gia speaks to him!! But Theresa has always let Gia speak that way. Just ask Jacqueline and Caroline

❤TRINIBARBIE🍫: Damn I feel old Gia is growing up so fast n beautifully

Robin East: I know I’m late to the show, but regardless of what their dad did, he is still their father and the kids will love him no matter what he has done. Yes, Joe has a right to be angry with their dad, but he should NEVER bad mouth him in front of them. EVER!!!
