As the feud between the Gorgas and Teresa Giudice continues to unfold on the new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Melissa, and Joe recently revealed they believe Teresa is being “led on by a very strong” force in her alleged crusade to bring the couple down.

Speaking on her podcast, On Display, Melissa claims that she’s never seen her sister-in-law “go this hard off camera” before, and she asserts that she and Joe “actually have proof” that Teresa’s attacks are being orchestrated with the help of an outside individual.

“It’s getting scary if we’re being honest guys. There’s some scary sh*t, and like a lot of this stuff that we previously read that we discarded, I am now no longer going to discard because I’m starting to believe that this may be true and it’s actually very scary,” Melissa explained, via Heavy.

Joe appeared on the podcast alongside his wife. He claimed that “someone’s going around digging” for dirt on him, but he refused to mention names, saying that it is a waste of time.

“They are wasting their time, literally wasting their time, because what can you expose us of? Tell me. Maybe we’re Bonnie and Clyde, and we don’t know it, and everyone knows we’re robbing banks,” stated Joe.

However, that digging may have paid off as new footage has surfaced of Joe getting up close and personal partying with a mystery woman who is most definitely not Melissa.

In the clip obtained by the Twitter account @TruthofBravo, Joe can be seen taking shots and allowing the unidentified woman to engage in a type of “body shot.” She slings back the liquor from Joe’s bare chest before pouring the rest into Joe’s mouth.

Afterward, the pair hug and high-five as Joe’s friend laughs behind the camera.

Eagle-eyed RHONJ fans were quick to take notice that Joe is not wearing his wedding ring in the video, and they wondered where Melissa was during the incident.

“Where is Melissa?” one fan questioned. Another quipped, “if Melissa did this with some hot guy, Joe would lose his sh*t.”

Another accused Joe of only wearing his wedding band “for the cameras.”

A third wondered, if the tables were turned and it was Teresa’s husband, Luis Ruelas, would Joe be okay with his behavior?

“Wonder what tiny Joe would say if this was Luis???”

Rumors of infidelity have been plaguing the couple for months, and as the newly surfaced clip begins making the rounds online, audiences are unsure of where the RHONJ couple actually stands. They have publicly put on a united front and “laughed off” cheating allegations.

Neither Joe nor Melissa has specifically commented on the video, but Melissa previously told E! News that she will eventually talk about the “so far off” rumors.

“I’ve learned throughout all the years of being on reality television to just keep your mouth shut, keep it moving, let them say what they want, and then when you get to tell the truth, then it is your turn.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
