Joe Gatto Denies Assault Claims: “I’ve Used Poor Judgment”
Alright folks, grab your popcorn because we’ve got a scandal on our hands! Joe Gatto, the once-beloved star of “Impractical Jokers,” is currently in hot water after a TikTok user named joozyb alleged that he sexually assaulted her during a night out in Milwaukee in September 2023. In a statement to Page Six, Gatto, 48, has pushed back against these claims, asserting that he would never commit such an act: “Anyone who knows me at all knows full well that I wouldn’t assault anyone.” But wait, there’s more! Gatto admits to having “used poor judgment” that has “violated the trust of the people I love most.” Ouch.
The drama unfolded after joozyb took to TikTok, detailing her version of events, claiming that their communication turned “a little weird” after a night of drinking. She went on to allege that Gatto sent her directions to his hotel room, where the alleged assault occurred. To spice things up, she shared a montage of photos with him and even posted an image showing bruising, which she claimed was a result of the encounter. Talk about a plot twist!
Oh, and let’s not forget the backstory—Gatto and his wife, Bessy, had announced their amicable split in 2021, only to reconcile in 2023. Now, he’s stepping away from the limelight to focus on himself, stating he needs time to work on personal issues. So, what’s next for Gatto? Will he make a triumphant return, or is this the beginning of a new chapter?
And that’s the tea, my friends—stay tuned for more updates in this unfolding drama that has everyone talking.
