Joe Gorga Argues with Son's Wrestling Ref Before Getting Kicked Out
TMZ.com
Joe Gorga is officially one of those parents after losing it on the referee of his son’s wrestling match — a nose-to-nose showdown that ended with Joe getting booted outta the gym.
In video, obtained by TMZ, Joe can be seen losing his cool Saturday at Parsippany Hills High School in NJ — where his son Gino was in the middle of a match that ended with him getting pinned by his opponent.
That made Dad leap from the stands and charge at the ref, but not before staff members and other parents jumped in to make sure it didn’t turn into a brawl.

As Joe’s led away, the ref blows his whistle in disgust and repeatedly orders him to leave the gym altogether for the remainder of the wrestling action.
Days later, Joe’s still heated — a rep for the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ star tells TMZ Joe felt the ref made some bad and unfair calls during the match, and Gino’s opponent was mistreating him … at least in Dad’s eyes.
The rep says Joe never had any intentions of hurting anyone or getting physical. He just let his emotions get the best of him.
In the end, the rep says Joe believes his son’s opponent was conducting himself in an unsportsmanlike manner throughout the match, and the ref let it slide.
We’re told Joe’s proud of how his son handled everything … labeling him a class act despite his own emotions getting the best of him.
Eyewitnesses at the event tell TMZ Joe was immediately ejected from the gym, and he left without any further duress, while the competition continued.
Hard to say cooler heads prevailed, though, based on the video.

Why Don’t You Tell Everyone About Stealing From Me, Dreka???
Published
Instagram/@iamkevingates
Kevin Gates is calling out his ex online … telling the world she actually stole money from him throughout their marriage.
The rapper aired his relationship’s dirty laundry on social media Friday … sharing a clip where he speaks directly to his estranged wife, Dreka Gates, and demands she tell the world that she only filed for divorce after he stopped giving her money.
Gates claims he stopped handing over dough when he found out Dreka and her fam were allegedly “stealing from [him] the whole time.”
KG also claims their 2 children have been living with him for the last 2 years … which is interesting, given Dreka filed for child support back in October.
Gates says Dreka’s trying to make him seem like a deadbeat dad and estranged partner … which he says couldn’t be further from the truth since he was giving her money — even while she was allegedly romantically involved with someone else.
Kevin calls Dreka a “goddess of manipulation and darkness” … and, he demands that she leave his name out of her mouth.
ICYMI … Dreka filed for divorce from Kevin in July 2025 — listing the date of separation as July 10, though Kevin seems to be saying in this clip they split much longer ago than that.
We should note … Kevin doesn’t provide any physical evidence or receipts to back his claims — it’s just his word against hers here.
Dreka asked for joint legal and physical custody of their 2 kids, 12-year-old Islah and 11-year-old Khaza … and, in October, she asked the court to award her more than $70K in child and spousal support.
We’ve reached out to Dreka’s legal team … so far, no word back.
