'RHONJ' star, Jennifer Aydin, has responded to Joe Gorga's claim that she instigated the drink-throwing incident during BravoCon.

Aydin, Joe, and his wife Melissa were captured on video, involved in an altercation at the hotel lobby during the event, which has since made headlines.

While Joe previously stated that Aydin's crazy antics spurred the incident, the reality star has countered the allegation, saying that there is "unedited footage out there that shows everything in real-time."

She also called the Gorgas "liars" and "thirsty people" and said she would like to move on from the incident.

Speaking about her brawl with the Gorgas that occurred at BravoCon 2022, Aydin told Page Six in an interview that there is video evidence refuting Joe's claim that she started the fight.

"I think there's unedited footage out there that shows everything in real-time, so I don't know why he would blatantly rebut that," Aydin, 45, told the publication on Tuesday during her appearance at the premiere of "Limitless with Chris Hemsworth."

After claiming to have gotten over the incident, Aydin questioned why the Gorgas were still discussing it before unleashing a barrage of degrading remarks on them.

"I have no time for thirsty people at this point," she added. "I would like to move on from that situation. I don't know why he keeps bringing it up, but they've been made to be liars, and I think they're just doing whatever it takes to stop them from drowning. So, whatever, to each his own."

Doubling down on her assertions, Aydin said that the footage clearly shows that Joe used several derogatory remarks on her and suggested that it was a trait he had long since displayed, even on "RHONJ."

The reality star said, per Page Six, "I know my own truth. The fans see the truth. And like I said, the footage is out there, and they can see it all unedited, and they can see in real-time that the derogatory remarks, the harassment, the intimidation he does, it's all really disgraceful."

In her interview, Aydin did not clarify if a preceding issue led to the drink-throwing incident at BravoCon. In addition, she did not discuss whether the rift between the three will be resolved any time soon or if they will stay feuding.

Back in October, Melissa gave her own accounts of the altercation and shared insight into what spurred it. On her PodcastOne "On Display" podcast, the reality star claimed that several people had reported that Aydin had disparaged remarks at her family during the Bravocon panel.

Melissa also said that the "RHONJ" costar gave her a "snarky" look when they met at the lobby of the hotel, which she countered by saying, "Keep moving, wannabe. Come on, loser, just keep walking. There's the elevator," Page Six reported.

Apparently, the comment did not sit well with Aydin, who started "screaming," "yelling," and "cursing" at the Gorgas. The incident later got heated up to a full-blown altercation in which several derogatory remarks were reportedly exchanged.

Following the drink-throwing incident, Aydin's assistant, Erica Madelyn, uploaded a separate video to TikTok where she claimed that Joe had called her boss a "f**king dirty bitch." The real estate mogul denied the claim during his appearance on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast, saying, "it was all lies."

Joe then bluntly remarked that Aydin "likes to dig a lot and [get] involved in [his] family business." He added that the "RHONJ" star was "crazy," which made him not really surprised that their encounter in the hotel lobby broke down into an altercation.

Joe said at the time, per Page Six, "If you watched her on the TV show through the years, she drinks a lot, she's violent, she throws things, she breaks glasses, she wants to stab you with it, she throws knives."
