To say things got tense between Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga in the moments before he walked off the reunion stage during Part 1 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 reunion might be an understatement. Their conversation turned so emotional that Joe walked off the stage. And now we’re learning what happened next in an exclusive sneak peek at the May 10 episode of RHONJ, courtesy of Bravo Insider.

How to Watch

After Joe walked off the stage, he was soon followed by Teresa after she was urged by reunion host Andy Cohen. Eventually, the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host joined them backstage after he heard them arguing, and he was very interested in trying to mediate their issues. “What’s going on?” he asked the siblings in a dressing room, where they were joined by Joe Benigno and Luis “Louie” Ruelas, later adding, “We’re trying to get some resolution here, believe it or not.”
