Some of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” husbands shocked fans at BravoCon Friday when they took to the stage to perform a “disturbing” striptease.
At the beginning of the routine, the group — which included Frank Catania, Joe Benigno and Joe Gorga — stood behind the Magic Mike cast as they performed to the song “Pony.”
Yet after the professionals finished their set, the “RHONJ” men ripped off their matching black T-shirts and debuted their own rendition of the dance alongside Jerry O’Connell.
The foursome, who all wore blue skinny jeans, showed off their best body rolls and hip thrusts as they moved around the stage, even getting down on their hands and knees at one point.
The grand finale featured the men humping the floor before standing up and giving one last pelvic swing for good measure.
While the audience seemed to love the shocking performance, fans online were less than impressed with the “cringe” decision.
“I wish I never had to see this,” one person wrote, as another added, “I can’t unsee this. 💀💀💀”
“The secondhand embarrassment is real,” a third chimed in. “This would have been semi funny like 7 years ago.”
“I would leave and call my therapist 🫠,” a fourth joked, to which another added, “I feel I was punished for something I didn’t do.”
Meanwhile, others let gifs do the talking for them, with one person posting an image of someone throwing up while another shared a clip of Homer Simpson pouring bleach in his eyes.

Yet the “RHONJ” men weren’t the only Bravo stars to ditch their shirts on day one of the three-day event.
“Vanderpump Rules” stars James Kennedy and Tom Sandoval, who had a falling out following the latter’s bombshell cheating scandal, challenged each other to a push-up contest Friday.
While it’s unclear why the pair decided it needed to be a shirtless competition, they both popped off their tops before getting down to business.
The rest of the cast — and internet — seemed very uncomfortable and confused by the pair’s decision — specifically Sandoval’s ex Ariana Madix who refused to even look at the two.
Yet in the end, Kennedy was the one to take home the imaginary trophy.
