In the preview video for episode 5 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Joe Gorga confronts his wife Melissa Gorga for throwing a jab at his sister Teresa Giudice on Twitter.

In the teaser video shown below, Joe confronts Melissa in their bedroom and tells her that he's upset and needs to talk. He tells his wife that when he ran into his sister at his gym, she "acted as if nothing happened" and mentioned a tweet Melissa wrote about her.

"She said you tweeted something about a pocketbook" Joe tells Melissa.

The teaser cuts to a scene from episode 4 when Teresa tells Joe that "Someone asked Melissa (on Twitter) if she rented her red Chanel bag." She added, "Melissa twittered, 'I'm not the one that filed bankruptcy, you should ask that person."

Melissa referenced Giudice's 2010 bankruptcy filing. She then confessed to Joe with a smirk on her face that she wrote the tweet to give Teresa a "taste of her own medicine."

"Wait, wait...it's that serious?" Joe fired back. "I tell her how much I love you and respect you...You're my wife so from now on you do something I'm gonna educate you and tell you you're doing something wrong."

"You were attacking her," he explains, adding "she told me about the Twitter sh-t and my parents come to the house and look at you like you're the devil!"

Joe's confrontation with his wife is the follow-up to the most dramatic moment of episode 4 when he had a heated argument with Giudice at his gym. After Joe told her that she was to blame for his failed relationship with their parents and discussed her ongoing feud with Melissa, she threw a bottle of water on him.

A source told Reality Tea before Bravo released the preview video on Friday that viewers will see Joe's "shock over a comment Melissa tweeted."

Joe was shocked because "Melissa plays innocent," said the insider, and "he doesn't know the half of what she does." The insider also confirmed what Joe said in the teaser for episode 5: that his parents despise Melissa.

"It kills Joe that his parents love Joe Giudice and not his wife," said the source. "Joe Giudice may be a lot of things, but he is a wonderful son-in-law. He treats Teresa's parents like his own. He drops everything for them. That's what is comes down to in this old-school Italian family. Melissa doesn't do that."
