RHONJ’s Joe Gorga admits to Las Vegas comedy show scam after actor Brad Garrett publicly called out the Bravo star.

On Tuesday night, Bravo star Joe Gorga got publicly called out by Everybody Loves Raymond actor Brad Garrett on Instagram.

A promo for Joe Gorga’s comedy show in Las Vegas was floating around social media when Brad Garrett caught wind of it.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey husband was set to headline a night of comedy at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club in Las Vegas on Sunday, November 5th. The comedy event was to be hosted by Brad Garrett and feature special guest Frank Catania as well as comedian Jaclyn Marfuggi. Joe Gorga was promoting ticket sales on social media and even had a payment link in his Instagram bio.

However, it turns out this event is one BIG SCAM.

On Instagram, Brad Garrett called out Joe Gorga and insisted that this comedy show is NOT REAL.

“ALERT!! This is NOT AN ACTUAL Show at my club, and people are being scammed to buy tickets via a fake link,” Garrett said in his post on Instagram. “So @joeygorga, @jackynmarfuggi wtf?! No one knows who you folks are in the comedy world, nor are you working at my club. Remove these ads immediately. Geez. And @catchnewjersey has nothing to do with this as well.”

After Brad’s Instagram post began making its way around social media, Joe Gorga addressed the controversy on his Instagram Story and admitted his team had been duped.

The RHONJ husband said:

“Guys, this is regarding the comedy show. We’re here practicing for Magic Mike. And we just got the news. So someone reached out from Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club to my manager [and] set up a contract. It’s a complete scam. There was a ticket link. People bought tickets. Don’t worry, your money’s gonna get returned. “

Melissa Gorga interjected, “I can’t believe it. Like, so there was nobody from Brad Garrett’s comedy club? This was a complete scam. Everyone was scammed, you too.”

“I got scammed. I’m still in shock you. I couldn’t believe it,” Joe added. “But listen, it is what it is. Nobody got hurt, you know? Don’t worry. I will see you at BravoCon. Make sure you come to [the] Magic Mike Show. “

Joe Gorga and his rep insist the Bravo star had no idea the show was fake until they saw Brad Garrett’s Instagram post on Tuesday.

“It was coming from a fake Brad Garrett,” a rep for Gorga shared in a statement to Deadline. “Joe’s attorney was scammed. They even had signed contracts in place.”

The RHONJ star’s rep added that Joe “is very disappointed as he was looking forward to performing” and wants it to be known that “everyone who purchased tickets will be receiving their money back.”

Sooo Princess FameWhorga was dumb enough to hire someone who was dumb enough to get scammed to this extent? LMFAO. Karma is amazing.

Too bad Joe and people that work for him were scammed. However, maybe it will help him realize this is NOT the career for him, especially if/when he'll have to pay out of pocket to reimburse people, not to mention the cost of dealing with the debacle. If Luis wasn't involved in setting him up (which is possible), I bet he is thrilled as Teresa is.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 2:23 pm
Luis very well could be behind it. He's a known scammer and grifter and he has a vendetta against Joe.
675309 November 1, 2023 - 2:27 pm
He has the motive, the means (his work experience) and the time (he doesn't have a regular job). Plus he is devious, obsessive and vindictive. On the Sherri show he said, "Everyone wants Teresa's seat!" so he seems to be preoccupied with that by hiring a PI to get info to use against "everyone".
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 2:30 pm
Agreed.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 5:33 pm
Just in case this site does not do an update... https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ff9a93c5cc5fc6400325edde3f894b6e75db8a5dac3a97b578e052016a8688fd.jpg

Good guy for clearing that up. Thanks for finding and sharing it for those who like to assume otherwise.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 6:33 pm
Yes, that was the right thing for him to do.

OAN: Melissa's podcast seems to be doing really, really well. Melissa Gorga On Display joined PodcastOne in 2022 and since its debut has become one of the most sought after podcasts in the Bravo atmosphere. Each week, New Jersey Housewives star Gorga and her celebrity guests get together to talk fashion, family, Bravo drama, and the importance of treating yourself. Grab a glass of red wine and a sprinkle cookie, and enjoy the conversation. It's life unfiltered. It's the world according to Gorga. “So excited to be signing on for two more seasons with PodcastOne! Who knew I would love podcasting this much! Thank you to all my listeners for over 5 million downloads! Can’t wait for the upcoming episodes!” said Gorga. “PodcastOne prides itself on being talent first and LadyGang, Gals on the Go and Melissa Gorga On Display are some of the most talented hosts in the medium. LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- PodcastOne (NASDAQ: PODC), a leading podcast platform and a subsidiary of LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO), announced today that it has signed deals to extend top performing and fan favorite podcasts LadyGang, Gals on the Go and Melissa Gorga On Display.

Good for her! It sounds like she finally found her niche.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 3:22 pm
I bet the felon is pissed. She bragged when her podcast with Melissa hit a million downloads. It was when she was calling out Tamra and the foolish felon didn't even realize that Tamra's podcast had way more downloads than hers.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 2:22 pm
Looks like everything has been cleared up. Now, Joe needs to give up on his dream if being a comedian.
675309 November 1, 2023 - 2:40 pm
Yes!
Italia November 1, 2023 - 7:55 pm
Yes please!

Well that was embarrassing...
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 8:11 pm
Meh. I say doing the perp walk and having your mugshot posted for the world to see is far more embarrassing, but that's just me, ?. Plus, Joey was vindicated, the felon was not.
SU November 1, 2023 - 1:57 pm
The irony is - this whole sh!tshow is probably funnier than the actual show. I strongly doubt claims of hacking, particularly from a man who struggles to keep on top of his bills.
Shy Sea November 1, 2023 - 1:31 pm
I think it's funny af that Joe Gorga thought he was famous & funny enough to headline a show at BGCC...with BG hosting! ?? AND, with Frank Catania as a special guest! ?? You can't make this shiz up!
Zap It November 1, 2023 - 2:11 pm
Yeah, Frank as a special guest. That is funny?
cammierari November 1, 2023 - 1:03 pm
Bwahahahaha!!!! Please ladies I hope you’re sending someone to BravoCon to review this train wreck of a comedy show!
Jshappyday November 1, 2023 - 12:07 pm
Who set up the initial contract and with who? By phone? When you work in special events and have never worked with a venue, site or organization before, you get past recommendations, people that can verify it goes smoothly, security is good, etc. so none of this happened???Fishy as all get up. Joe, might want to dot your I and cross your t if you are going to work events around the country. Can’t do it all online, pick up the phone and talk to people or you will be scammed many times.
Italia November 1, 2023 - 12:03 pm
The club owner even admitted they were all scammed. Everyone got their charges reversed.
Marce November 1, 2023 - 12:47 pm
What club owner? Brad Garrett is the OWNER of the club and he called out the lying scum that is little BBoy Gorga. And if the 3 turds, bboy, roid rage and the chihuahua got scammed , how can they return the money? Is that you Lysa Simpson?!
Italia November 1, 2023 - 2:17 pm
The credit card company is simply giving refunds. It's not the difficult. Relax killer.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 2:19 pm
Is that you Gia Giudice?
675309 November 1, 2023 - 2:22 pm
(I thought it was Milania a while back....)
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 2:25 pm
What a piece of work, that one is. SMH. She's another one on here who thinks everyone is someone else.
675309 November 1, 2023 - 2:34 pm
Not very creative with changing names since before it was Marc who disappeared and had similar comments.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 2:37 pm
Most Stumps aren't. They seem to use the same bullying tactics, then play victim when people hit back. They also think everyone is somebody else.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 3:43 pm
Nope my name is Marce. But you changed your name.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 3:51 pm
So you have two accounts, but call out someone who may or may not have 2 accounts? Get over yourself Marce F.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 3:54 pm
Nope, again Blush you are wrong. Go play with yourself.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 6:43 pm
Aww, poor Marce/Marc loves to project! LOL!
675309 November 1, 2023 - 6:44 pm
So why have two accounts, Marc and Marce? You are "Marc" replying to me to say "my name is Marce". ????? Are you goofing around to be funny? Did one get banned at Reality Blurb for going on a rant against other commenters? That would explain it I suppose.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 6:47 pm
Yet she denied being one in the same! LOL!
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 6:44 pm
She outed herself as being one in the same. SMH.
675309 November 1, 2023 - 6:45 pm
It is really funny and I'm surprised I remembered.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:11 pm
Marce/Marc just outed herself. I took a screenshot just in case she sobers up and deletes her comments.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 3:42 pm
Nope!
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 3:50 pm
Double standard much, MF? Why should we believe you are not Gia, or any other Giuduce for that matter, being that you and Marc always call out people as being one of Melissa's sisters? No need to answer as my questions are rhetorical.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 3:56 pm
You are rhetorical. Thanks for your IP address.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:04 pm
LMAO, I have a screenshot of you responding to me with your other account MF. You really should not partake so early, because you are being messy. It's only 4 EST time. Could you not have waited until 5? IP addy? LOLOLOL! You aren't anywhere near intelligent enough to figure that out amongst other things. Should I post the screenshot of you messing up responding to me with your other account? Too late to delete, because I can post the shots.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 4:11 pm
Go ahead tough guy.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:13 pm
LOL! You are the one who started with the tough act by claiming to have my IP, which I know for a FACT you DO NOT. If you are going to be a troll, don't be a stupid one...eh. maybe you just can't help it.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 4:14 pm
Wanna bet?
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:15 pm
Yes, I do.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 4:16 pm
Okay!
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:16 pm
Let's go!
Marc November 1, 2023 - 4:23 pm
In my own time dear.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:28 pm
Which is NEVER and we both know it. Don't make threats that you can't back up Marce F.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 4:38 pm
I got your number- unlike you I don't post peoples names. You started the threats. Maybe I will send you an email.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:43 pm
You posted your name, not me, dear. I will be waiting with bated breath for your email that will never happen, LOL!! Food for thought, you should not start with people, if you don't want retaliation, dear. Furthermore, don't make threats you can't back up, because it makes you seem insane and insane. Capice?
Marc November 1, 2023 - 6:19 pm
You posted my last name - by being a skank and going into my gmail. Computuners - it company .Capice?
Italia November 1, 2023 - 7:54 pm
You are either a liar or just dumb. Prob both
Marc November 1, 2023 - 8:01 pm
Italia, go scratch you waste of life.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 8:18 pm
So nasty, so rude! ??? Here's my IP... 167.259.6.89 Hope that helps you out! ??
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 8:14 pm
I'll take both for a thousand, Alex. I'm embarrassed for Marce.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 8:22 pm
I posted my IP down thread for you! ??
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 6:31 pm
Nope, dear, I did not post your last name, that is all on you. Now, how in the world could I tap into your Gmail account, or any of your other email accounts, being it's clear now you have multiple accounts, since you outed yourself as being both Marc and Marce? To be clear, I really could not care less that you have multiple accounts. I just cannot stand your hypocrisy in calling out others for doing so. You sound very paranoid. The only people that can see what email you use and contact you are the site's owner. You said you were going to send me an email earlier and I have yet to receive one and that's because you don't have access to my email just like I don't have access to yours! Caprice? LOL, like I said you sound very paranoid. Get some sleep, girl!
Marc November 1, 2023 - 7:23 pm
Wrong again buddy.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 7:36 pm
Oh, dear, you have been out witted and you can't stand it. I am right and you are WRONG. Now, here's a suggestion for you... stop bullying, and trolling people who do not like the felon and all will be kosher.
Marc November 1, 2023 - 8:09 pm
I got you Boo. IP address too!
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 8:11 pm
Lmao! Stop! I'm embarrassed for you! Oh, I'm still waiting for your email! ????
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:17 pm
Still waiting! LOL!
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:22 pm
*tapping fingers on my desk*
Marc November 1, 2023 - 4:13 pm
Have an really smart guy - got your number.
Dr. Who? November 1, 2023 - 4:15 pm
Huh? This comment makes no sense, but then again. You seem really flustered and in need of a nap, LOL!
675309 November 1, 2023 - 6:26 pm
Marce, Check above for the club owner's message who DID NOT call out Joe. The OWNER, Brad Garrett, realized Joe and the other person were scammed.
disqus_PvoF967f42 November 1, 2023 - 11:57 am
3.2.1...Countdown to who will be the first to blame this on Luis and Teresa, lol.
675309 November 1, 2023 - 1:51 pm
Not blaming but it would not be surprising!! Luis has the know how and the motive! Teresa has motive but not smart enough to pull it off, IMO!
Zap It November 1, 2023 - 2:07 pm
I knew it would be you!!!!???
675309 November 1, 2023 - 2:53 pm
You probably think so, too, but admire him for pulling it off! Ha. I don't care because I think Joe is silly for trying to be a comedian so maybe it will wake him up.
holy cannoli November 1, 2023 - 11:20 am
Whoa ?. How freakin embarrassing!! Btw, I love Brad Garrett’s post, #sorrynotsorry ???

Scammed more like punk’d. I wonder who he will blame for this.
