Joe Gorga’s Joke About Sprinkle Cookies Has Been a Recurring Point of Contention Between Melissa Gorga & Teresa Giudice

Gorga’s joke about the cookies was in reference to a feud on RHONJ between his wife and sister that began back in season 3.

At that time, Melissa Gorga brought Giudice some sprinkle cookies for Christmas. However, since they didn’t get eaten, Giudice ended up throwing them in the garbage. Giudice shared, according to People, “She brought me sprinkle cookies. I said to her, ‘Melissa, nobody touched the cookies you brought. I threw them in the garbage! You know what my favorite cookies are? Pignoli cookies.”

Since then, the sprinkle cookies have been referenced on many occasions, and as recently as RHONJ’s season 13 in 2023, when Melissa Gorga brought sprinkle cookies to another party.

Joe Gorga Said His Comedy Show Wouldn’t Involve Much Content About the ‘Real Housewives’

The Gorgas and Giudice have been feuding on and off for a long time now, with their latest rift coming in 2022 as they filmed RHONJ season 13. The problems between Gorga and his sister Giudice escalated throughout the year, culminating in the Gorgas deciding to skip Giudice’s August 2022 nuptials to Luis Ruelas.

When speaking about their feud to The U.S. Sun ahead of his comedy show, Gorga said, “It’s been a ride. It’s a shame.” He added, “It’s the way it is. But what are you going to do?”

At the time, he also shared that his standup routine didn’t involve much content about the Housewives, explaining, “I do very little housewife stuff. Just enough for the show and that’s it. Not much. That’s all for cameras,” he added, hinting that his standup was more focused on “inside real family stuff, which is stuff [fans] don’t see on TV. I talk about my kids’ stuff that happens with them in life.”
