Joe Gorga is all about his family — though there are some relations he’s not too fond of.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” husband took the high road Wednesday when asked about a younger cousin who went on Instagram in February and called him and his wife, Melissa, “farm animals.”

“That I’m really shocked because I’ve always loved him,” Gorga said on Wednesday night’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” in reference to the cutting comment made by his cousin, Joseph Wakile.

Gorga told Cohen that growing up he and his sister, Teresa Giudice, had good relations with their first cousins, Rosie Pierri and Kathy Wakile.

But now he has no love lost for Kathy’s husband, Richie — and the bad blood as apparently now extended to their kids Victoria, 27, and Joseph, 25.

“Rosie, I do miss,” he added. “I miss Rosie. She was my cousin from growing up. She was always there for me. So I do miss her. Richie Wakile, not so much. And that is the reason why his children are talking the way they are is because of him. Because he’s just not a nice guy.”

Kathy, 55, spent three seasons as a main cast member on “RHONJ,” and in that time did a lot squabbling with Giudice. After she left the show, it appeared that the Gorgas and the Wakiles were simply ignoring each other, as Melissa confirmed that they were no longer speaking in November 2019.

But, fans got a first-hand look into their family feud when Victoria tied the knot over Valentine’s Day weekend and the Gorgas were not in attendance.

“Lmao we cut those farm animals out of our life years ago that’s why they weren’t in attendance,” Joseph commented on Page Six’s Instagram of why they were not invited to the affair.

Melissa responded to the dig on “WWHL” in March.

“Look, I know they are a little sour about not being on the show any longer, and it’s unfortunate, to be honest. I wish them all well; I love the Wakile children,” she said.

For her part, Kathy fired back in an interview that same month that while she expected to disagree with Giudice and Melissa on the show, she never expected to stop speaking to them altogether.

“I thought, ‘Sure, well, we may have some words, but we’ll be able to resolve it,’” she said. “We never really had a real disagreement before.”

“I never went on thinking that I was going to be like, on a side, you know? It was never supposed to be a side because we were one family…I wish them well, but I’ve moved on. You try to do the best you can in a relationship and that happens in real life. That happens without reality TV taking a part in it.”
