Joe Giudice‘s former business partner is FED UP! During Tuesday night’s explosive Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion part two, Joe’s former business partner, Joe Mastropole, was brought up when Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice got into an argument over Melissa’s alleged involvement in the Giudices ending up in jail.

Melissa clapped back at Teresa: The aforementioned ex-partner then defended Melissa in a new interview with The US Sun, claiming he’s “never met her” and “wouldn’t recognize her” if they bumped into each other.

As you’ll recall, back in March 2014, then-partners Teresa and Joe pleaded guilty to several counts of fraud, including bankruptcy fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, and failing to pay taxes.

Teresa spent 11 out of her 15-month sentence behind bars while her hubby served 41 months. Related: Raquel Leviss Told Ex She Initially Wanted To Hook Up With Ariana Madix! In 2007, Joe’s ex-partner Mastropole accused them of forging his name on mortgage documents to pocket $1 million.
