REAL Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Gorga has been sued for over $110,000 in construction costs on his newly built mansion.
The lawsuit comes as the pair are in jeopardy of being fired from the show.
Joe, 48, Melissa, 43, and their three children moved into their New Jersey mansion in November 2022 after buying the Franklin Lakes property for $950,000.
House husband Joe was initially sued in November 2022 for $30,264.06 by contractors who accused him of not paying them construction costs on the newly built mansion, All About the Tea reported.
Now, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal County Concrete Corporation has filed an amended complaint and is now suing Joe for a whopping $110,972.58.
In the amended complaint filed on December 21, 2022, County Concrete Corporation claimed they provided materials to Joe from September 2021 to January 2022.
They claimed the value of the materials totaled $110,972.58.
The court papers read: “The Plaintiff has attempted on multiple occasions to contact the defendants.
“The defendants have failed to pay the monies owed to the plaintiff for the materials that were previously provided.”
“The defendants have failed to fulfill their obligations with the plaintiff. The defendants failure to do so constitutes a breach of contract.”
County Concrete Corporation is demanding a jury trial.
Joe has not responded to the original or amended complaint.
DONE WITH BRAVO?
The lawsuit comes as Joe and Melissa face being fired from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
The current season centers around the stars’ feud with Joe’s sister Teresa Giudice and her husband, Luis Ruelas.
The family has been arguing over Joe and Melissa not being seated at Teresa and Luis’ table at their engagement party.
This comes after Teresa and Melissa fought at the reunion because she refused to make her sister-in-law a bridesmaid at her wedding.
Joe and Luis even get into a physical altercation during the season, resulting in the Gorgas not attending their wedding.
A source previously told The U.S. Sun: "This could be Melissa's last season. When Teresa's done with you, you're done with the show.
"It's happened in the past to former cast members, and it can happen to Melissa."
The source further stated that Teresa, 50, who is the only cast member who has been part of the show since the beginning, "runs the show."
"If it came down to the point where Teresa threatens to not return because of Melissa, then Melissa would be the one who would get fired," the source added.
Joe and Melissa have been on the show since season three.
RHONJ was split into separate panels at BravoCon to avoid the family members being on one stage.
A source previously told The U.S. Sun: "There's no communication between them whatsoever.
"They can't stand the thought of being in the same room together."
And the next time they'll face off "will be at the reunion."
