On RHONJ Season 13, Louie discovered that more money could lead to more family problems. During a trip to the Jersey Shore, Louie, and Teresa finally shared why they’re at odds with Teresa’s brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga.
The family’s latest issue happened after Louie and Joe decided to team up on investing in a pizza shop dedicated to Teresa and Joe’s late father, Giacinto Gorga. The men agreed to go half on the restaurant’s pizza oven, though Teresa claimed that Joe didn’t give them his cut on the show. The “Namaste B—hes” host also said she and Louie eventually dropped the idea altogether after they realized Joe wouldn’t be sending in his part.
“My fiancé lost a quarter of a million dollars,” Teresa claimed during the episode.

Joe also addressed the bad business deal with his sister and her then-fiance. He shared that Louie was actually the one who “screwed” him out of the money they agreed to split. According to Joe, he didn’t know Louie would receive a cut of the business he and his sister planned on sharing.
“Louie puts the money in … I’m figuring I’m giving 50 percent to my sister; he was getting 50 percent,” Joe told Jackie Goldschneider, Margaret Josephs, and their husbands on RHONJ.
Joe continued saying the future conversations about the business “got ugly” between him, Teresa, and Louie, with Teresa spewing comments like, “This is why you don’t do business with family!”
Hopefully, the family can someday create Nonno’s Pizza with Louie’s $2 million net worth helping them out.
