It turns out that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree-flipping table.

Gia Giudice has proven she is capable of handling drama on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Teresa Giudice’s 21 year-old daughter, Teresa Giudice, stood up to Joe Gorga when he made disparaging remarks about her father Joe Giudice.

Gia confronted Joe after a fight between star Margaret Josephs & Jennifer Aydin. Gia said, “This is why people shouldn’t open there mouths in the first place. Just like dad didn’t deserve it.”

Joe takes Gia’s unsubtle dig at Joe.

“What, Gia? “What, Gia?” An agitated Joe responds in the clip below.

“You’re going at me disrespectfully?” Gia replies, “That’s because then I won’t talk to you.” Gia adds, “I’m an adult now so you can speak to me like one.” Because you are being disrespectful. I won’t be intimidated by you.

Joe is naturally heated and tells his niece “I wouldn’t allow my daughter talk to my aunts or uncles [like that], I mean were you raised?” Before storming out of the party.

Teresa and Melissa Gorga finally convince Gia that she will go after her uncle who is fuming on another side of the house. “She looks at my face like I’m the Devil.” Her father was the devil, and not me! Joe tells Teresa’s fiancée Luis Ruelas.

Melissa hears Teresa say that her brother was the closest person to her father. He is her brother and she loves him. That’s why she hurt to.”

Gia defends her position when Joe and Gia meet again.

The video below shows the tension in the confrontation.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is broadcast Tuesdays at 8:05 p.m. on Bravo.
