Sunday night The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans witnessed a fight that they have been waiting for. The family drama between the Giudices and the Gorgas reached a climax when Teresa's husband and brother got into an epic fight in their latest episode, “When Joes Collide.” In honor of the intense battle, here are the top 10 Real Housewives of NJ fights.
10. Caroline confronts Danielle: When the matriarch of the Manzo family confronted Danielle, all viewers were on the edge of their seat. Caroline has the wit and sharp tongue to hurt someone with her well-chosen words, quick comebacks, and demanding speech. It was satisfying to see her look Danielle in the eye and call her “garbage.”
9. The season 3 reunion: The entire reunion was filled with so much tension and animosity that few moments felt light-hearted. Pretty much all the fighting involved Teresa to some degree. Viewers were given a preview of the rivalries and drama that would ensue in season 4.
8. Caroline confronts Teresa: Although the cast left Jersey for a trip to Napa, they didn’t leave any drama at home. A late night argument turned to a heated screaming match between Teresa and Caroline. Caroline had reached the point of no return and her only motivation was to completely end whatever relationship she had left with Teresa.
7. Jacqueline and Ashley in a restaurant: This is the worst fight for the mother-daughter duo. Viewers watched Ashley battle her mother the entire series. In this moment Jacqueline gave up and held nothing back, telling Ashley that she “doesn’t appreciate a G** ***n thing anyone does for (her).” Ultimately, this fight was probably the most heartbreaking one because viewers saw the hurt a mother could feel from her child.
6. Rosie threatens Teresa: After Teresa talks ill of Kathy and Rosie’s deceased father, Rosie wants Teresa’s head on a platter! "She better watch her f****n tongue!" she shouted. Rosie yelled and threatened Teresa with sheer intensity and passion that you actually fear for Teresa’s life, especially when Rosie said, “I'll f****n kill her! I don’t care if I get locked up!”
5. Danielle vs. Teresa in Season 2 reunion: Teresa’s temper was tested by Danielle as she hit her where it hurts: in her family’s personal life. Teresa got in her face and even shoved host Andy Cohen down back in his chair as he tried to defuse the situation. Danielle walked away from the confrontation with her signature sly smile. This was the closest Teresa got to Danielle since the Posche fashion show.
4. The Joes' fight: Years of intrafamily hate exploded during the Giudice/Gorga family therapy session! The Joes attacked each other and slammed each other on the floor and against the walls. Powerful punches were thrown and chokeholds executed. It took the whole family to separate the two from murdering each other.
3. Posche Fashion Show: The housewife everyone loves to hate(Danielle) was confronted by the outspoken housewife(Teresa). In true NJ fashion, there was no lack of insults, name-calling, and threats. Danielle was chased throughout the Brownstone by Teresa in a frenzy of chaos and confusion. In the end, it was Jacqueline’s daughter, Ashley, who got her hands on her and ripped her hair right out of her head!
2. The Christening: The explosive season 3 premiere took the RHONJ to the next level with this family brawl. The viewers were introduced to the drama that surrounds Teresa’s family. After Teresa greeted her brother, Joe, to show love and happiness for the christening of his and Melissa’s son, he called her “garbage” and felt it was insincere. As is tradition in RHONJ fashion, the yelling turned to screaming and the insults turned to punches in an all-out family brawl! The viewers saw the genuine hurt and hate that thrives in the family.
1. The Table Flip: This was the fight that set the RHONJ apart from all the other Housewives installments. At a dinner party, Teresa called out Danielle’s crazy and dangerous past and Danielle managed to tick her off by saying, "Pay attention, puh-lease!" Teresa exploded, flipping the table with such rage that made the Real Housewives of New Jersey everyone’s favorite girls.
