Is there anyone around with a worse rep than this guy? I dont know much about him but all i ever hear about is him being a low life snake shitbag who would beat his own mother out her her last dollar

A lot of guys have called him a snake. But to me the funniest thing was that his wife was having affair and got knocked up by another guy while he was in jail and he is still with her 😂

That's what I call loyalty 😆

I heard they shot johnny gongs peeshadeel off for his affair before they filled his head wit slugs

Johnny Gongs certainly didn’t hide his conquests. Apparently at a club he grabbed Deborah Merlino’s ass and yelled across the room to Joey Merlino’s friends “Tell Joey this belongs to me now”. Stupid or not it’s pretty ballsy and certainly made Joey look bad that in public Gongs was letting everyone know he was nailing his wife

I think this says a lot about his wife. Is she an alley cat ???

Man...that's next level in getting cucked lol

I think Merlino is like a lot of people. Those who like him, really like him (his personal buddies). Those who he has rubbed the wrong way, or 'beat,' hate his ass.

As far as his wife blatantly fucking around on him while he was in the can? That IS next level disrespect toward him and she should have gotten a kick in her ass. To publicly flaunt her puttana ways is very telling.

She basically cuckolded him. As for Johnny Gongs. He was obviously another piece of shit, and completely deserved what he got.

Even by todays low standards of morality, both of them were way out of bounds. I'm only surprised that Merlino continued with his wife. If it was me? Lol.... I can't even write what would have happened.

Years ago, his lack of self-control, and the embarrassment he brought himself (as well as his borgata), would have been grounds to shelve him. Period! It goes to show what passes for rules and decorum nowadays.

. I mean to be fair nobody is going to have much sympathy for Joey’s wife fucking around especially since he fucked around as well. Also when you go back to even his exploits as a kid he was a huge douche bag. The one guy I felt a bit bad for was actually Ernesto Grillo. He was put in a horrible situation.

Most of these type guys were wild men as kids. The smarter ones mellow with age (or not).

But regardless of how many bracciole Joey may have bagged in his day, in 'the street' thats considered the norm, and a badge of honor if you will, among the bent-nose set. What is NOT the norm, nor condoned, is to allow your woman to do the same!

A double standard? You bettcha! But thats the way it is. Especially in the underworld. It is a MAJOR slap in the face to any knock around guy (let alone a goodfella) to allow somebody, anybody, to stick his cannoli in your woman's sfogliatelle. Period!

A major NO-NO!

Again these are the BAD GUYS so I’m not going to feel bad for a piece of shit like him. If this was a normal circumstance and the guy was legit then I would completely agree with you. I’m not saying I agree with what she did but I do find it hilarious And I will make an exception for a scumbag like Joey 😂.

The thing with Merlino is that he seems to be on good terms with other criminal gangs in Philly; the Black and Puerto Rican gangs, bikers, Greeks and Irish.

So he isn't disliked by everyone. Obviously I don't have my ear to the Philly streets so I can't really speak for his local rep.

Merlino's an idiot...Driving around in a Bentley etc..He's on Junior Gotti's level

This is all nonsense. Comes from rats and lowlife reporters who don't know the man. Let me tell you something my friend, Joey Merlino is a good, decent man who'd give you the shirt off his back! Not only did this wonderful man host Christmas parties for the homeless and give free turkeys to the poor every Thanksgiving, he also used to visit children's hospitals and orphanages where he'd hand out presents and read stories to the kids. One time he flew some 50 sick kids to Disney World.

Yeah, and he'd call the tv stations to let them know he was doing it..He wanted it to benefit himself more then the kids or the poor

. Exactly. If anybody thinks he was doing it out the the goodness of his heart then I have a bridge to sell them 😂. Pablo Escobar used the same tactic and he blew up a airliner

She ain't even that bangin.

She was not bad for his mug !

He could be the joker on a Batman movie .

Someone ought to slit his throat ear to ear to match thaf stupid smile of his

He was doing it to intergrate himself with the muslims and the Junior Black Mafia, as he said everyone has a cousin or nephew or niece and they run the prisons..Its why hes so tight with them..Nothing to do with helping kids

Singing Joey.

Do you not think he looks a bit like John Stamos?

😂

You'd think Merlino's circle would pop him just to get the heat off all of them, without Joey around I think the FBI would give 80% less effort into Philly

Joey Merlino and company are all flat broke. Their reputations are known throughout the entire city of Philadelphia. Nobody likes them or trusts them. This is the reason why they can not accumulate wealth like other organisations. They live in the dog eats dog world. The caliber of men that once existed in this city are dead and buried. These guys today are nickel and dime hoods that are cheating and robbing each other and whoever else they do business with. The old timers must be rolling over ion their graves seeing these imbeciles involved in this city. Just do your research and you will see for yourselves what kind of guys they are.

So true ! And you have guys post bad stuff about Nicky jr. ..... compared to Skinny one of jr rackets is a lifetime of Skinny’s earnings or rackets ... not even close ... I don’t think Sikinny has ever had a money making racket ... other then walking out on bar & restaurant bills ....loser.

Joey was making 6 figures every single month with Brad Sirkin and the pain cream clinics in florida[u][/u]
making money isnt his problem,being a degenerate gambler is...

If I ever hear or read someone using the term ‘the old guys must be rolling the grave’ line I’m already out. Joey is not broke. You mean all the old timers are dead and not active anymore?! That’s some great insight! No shit, it’s 2021 but there are legit killers on the street right now in Philly. Ask Gino or Rocco

This girl he married got pregnant by a African American guy who was a member of the NY NFL. They followed her in a car to MD to have an abortion with Billy Rennick. What kind of guy stays married to that Ho??? That should tell you what this scumbag really is.

He will also try to fuck your Grandmother your good friend. He even fucked his own fathers gummed years ago. Her name was KT and she was a hair dresser from Drexel Hill PA This guy is an absolute abortion. They give him all these kudos when he won a war by accident. When Stanfa was out these guys would not leave their own houses that its how scared they were. So for you to make it like this guy is a great guy than that tells me something about you.
