POSITANO, ITALY: What exactly is Richie Wakile up to? Is he sick and tired? Is he tired of being out of the limelight? Is there something else going on? Unfortunately, the actual intentions of people related to 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' are impossible to discern.
When we last heard from the Wakiles, they weren't fans of the Gorgas or Teresa Giudice. And it appears that on July 30, Richard "Richie" Wakile shared a number of images on his Instagram stories, shading Joe and Melissa Gorga in the process.
'Pinocchio's spotted in Italy this summer'
Melissa and Joe have arrived in Italy! The 'RHONJ' pair spent a week in Positano and Capri before beginning production for Season 14 in early August. The Bravolebs went out to Italy on July 26 for a kid-free vacation, which Melissa and Joe labeled a "honeymoon" on Melissa's 'On Display' podcast on July 27.
According to Melissa and Joe, they asked their three children, Antonia, Joey, and Gino Gorga, to join them on the vacation, but all three rejected it because they would rather spend time at the beach with their friends than travel abroad. Interestingly, Melissa noted that, while she and Joe had each visited Italy independently, this was their first trip to the homeland together.
Just over two years after his son, Joseph Wakile, labeled the Gorgas "farm animals" in a social media statement, the former 'RHONJ' cast member's husband took to his Instagram Stories on Monday direct from the streets of Italy.
Richie shared a photo of his wife Kathy wandering around the streets in his first story, perhaps mimicking a video Melissa just shared on Instagram from her vacation in Italy. "Off the beaten path!" he captioned the photo. In the following story, he posted a photo of a Piaggio ape, a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle, along with the caption, "Looking to import these to the USA ๐บ๐ธ from Italy ๐ฎ๐น pleased reach out if you can help!" The third story featured a video of a wooden Pinocchio doll riding a bicycle, which might be the final dig at Gorgas, with a comment alongside the video, "Pinocchio's spotted in Italy this summer" with a funny sticker.
'Omg Mรฉlissa aka Pinocchio Gorga is spotted ๐๐๐๐'
As an Instagram page All About TRH first speculated the dig coming from the Wakiles', fans were soon to hop on the latest Bravo drama. One user commented, "LMAOOO ๐ญ iโm not a fan of the wakilieโs but part of me wants them to reunite with teresa just to see the gorgaโs meltdown." Another person wondered, "I can only imagine how much the Wakiles know about the REAL Gorgas! We deserve to know!" One also wrote, "Never loved Richie more ๐๐๐๐." While, a fourth user quipped, "Omg Mรฉlissa aka Pinocchio Gorga is spotted ๐๐๐๐."
Some users now want the Wakiles back on the show, as they write, "Petition to get the Wakiles back on hwonj ๐๐ผ." Others chimed in, "Lmao!!!! Can we bring them back?!?" Another person added, "Omg I'm loving Richie lately. Not going to lie lol didn't like him before." One dubbed him as, "Oh heโs messy lol."
