    The Real Housewives of New Jersey is off to a strong start this season. Of course, there’s all sorts of drama not only with the ladies but with the husbands as well following the premiere episode. Now, while doing press for the show, Teresa Giudice is opening up about what she calls lies that have been told about her relationship with Luis Ruelas, her status with Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorgoa, and she says Margaret Josephs has no storyline. 

    Fans will recall that Teresa and Melissa aren’t on speaking terms following last season. Because of this, and other feuds on RHONJ, the show is extremely divided this season.  

    Recently, she sat down with Billy Bush on Extra to discuss the new season of RHONJ. When asked about her relationship with her brother and sister-in-law, Teresa says, “That chapter is closed.”

    Billy then asks, “How can it be?”

    Teresa responds, “It’s closed. Did you watch when I was getting married, and they tried to make it all about them.”

    She continues, “Chapter’s closed, and keep watching this season because something else comes out, which, you know, not shocking.”

    Teresa then talks about “being on top” and cast members coming after her. In particular, she feels that Rachel Fuda picked the wrong team. 

    She says, “Rachel fell into the trap of listening to other people, as you can see, because what happened at the reunion last year came out of nowhere.” 

    They then talk specifically about the allegations that Luis contacted John Fuda‘s ex in prison. 

    She says, “Oh, the reporter from The Sun contacted Fuda’s Ex, and she asked her… ‘Did Luis Ruelas ever contact you’ and she said ‘no.’ That reporter from The Sun put that out there also. Thank you to that reporter because she loves writing about me. I get a lot of clicks.”

    The conversation then turns to Teresa and Luis celebrating almost two years of marriage. She says they are still in the honeymoon stage. When asked about a recent romantic thing he did for her, Teresa said, “He sent me 333 roses because I have a tattoo here[side] 333.”

    Teresa explains the significance of the number and how her mother gave her “signs of 3s.”

    She says, “I never knew Latino lovers were so passionate.”

    Billy then discusses the drama between Teresa and Luis in the RHONJ trailer. He asks specifically about rumors that Luis is spending her money. 

    Teresa says, “No, he doesn’t touch my money. That’s another lie that Margaret is putting out there My money is my money, and Luis’ money is my money. He doesn’t even know how much I make.” 

    About Margaret, Teresa says, “She’s so pathetic, I’m sorry, her actions are pathetic. She puts out these lies. She has no storyline. So she’s obsessed with me and Luis.”

    Regarding meeting Taylor Swift, Teresa says that she and Luis were actually right next to her and that Taylor knew who she was. She also shared that Justin and Hailey Bieber were in the same area.

  • Luis Ruelas Claims Ex Vanessa “Leaked” Confidential Info About Him and Teresa to RHONJ Cast as He Demands $5 Million in Damages, Plus He Celebrates 50th Birthday, See Pic

    Luis Ruelas Claims Ex Vanessa “Leaked” Confidential Info About Him and Teresa to RHONJ Cast as He Demands $5 Million in Damages, Plus He Celebrates 50th Birthday, See Pic

    Luis Ruelas is accusing ex-fiancée Vanessa Reiser of leaking confidential information about him and his wife, Teresa Giudice, to the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.

    While responding to a lawsuit filed against him in February by attorney Kevin Johnson, a witness in Vanessa’s restraining order case against him, Luis, 49, who celebrated his milestone birthday on Sunday, suggested that he lost his job and suffered emotional distress as a result of Vanessa’s alleged antics against him and Teresa, 51, and demanded $5 million in damages.

    In court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun on April 19, Luis, along with fellow defendants, including Bo Dietl, 73, a private investigator, fired back at the claims of Kevin and his firm, Johnson Litigation Group, who suggested Luis, Bo, and others had launched an abuse and harassment campaign against Vanessa, and accused him of hacking computers to dig up dirt on her.

    In their response, it was stated that Luis believed Kevin and the firm used “unlawful and egregious misconduct,” “breached their ethical obligations,” and “slandered” him, and that he felt Vanessa, a psychotherapist, attempted to create drama for him and Teresa on RHONJ by gossiping to the cast.

    “Ruelas believed Reiser was disclosing confidential information to patients and cast members of [RHONJ] to use against him and his wife, in an attempt to bolster the colloque of the show and continue the relentless campaign of harassment, despite existing orders precluding this type of conduct,” the filing stated.

    It also accused Kevin of fabricating emails “under fake names/personas” to “damage Ruelas’ chances in the court of law, stir controversy, and create reality TV content,” and suggested that Kevin and Vanessa had a “peculiar interest in certain RHONJ cast members” and an “obsession with Ruelas and RHONJ.”

    “The court found that Johnson had a bizarre infatuation with the cast members of RHONJ; that of which is upon information and belief the basis for the continued media blitz and false and misleading statements made therein,” the documents explained, noting that emails were supposedly sent to Luis’ adversary with intent to damage him “both economically and personally” and “make for good Reality TV.”

    While it was not confirmed whether the information Vanessa allegedly passed on would be featured on season 14, the trailer hinted at potential financial struggles plaguing Luis and his wife. And according to Luis’ court documents, he felt his reputation was “damaged beyond repair” — no matter what was and will be shown.

    As he explained, he runs “a company on a global scale” and potential clients have seen things online about him, causing him to “[suffer] economic injury and mental anguish,” such as losing his job and “business opportunities.”

    Luis also claims to have sustained additional damages, including attorney’s fees, and “humiliation, severe anxiety, and emotional distress.”

    Luis is suing for “breach of implied covenant of trust and confidence; negligence; Res Ispa Loquitor; abuse of process; declaratory judgment against Johnson; Libel Per Se and violation of Judiciary Law 487,” per The U.S. Sun, and requesting the court award him punitive damages “in an amount to be determined at trial, but in no event less than [$]5,000,000,” plus attorneys’ fees.

    After the filing of the countersuit, Luis’ lawyer, Jeremy Iandolo, told The U.S. Sun, “The relentless and baseless assaults by Johnson towards my client Ruelas have inflicted significant harm, both economic and emotionally.”

    “As such, we refuse to halt our defense and will continue our attack until Mr. Ruelas is fully vindicated, made whole and can live his life in peace, free from unwarranted attacks of Johnson and Reiser, whom seem more interested in pursuing their own distorted version of fame,” he concluded.

    In other Luis Ruelas news, the RHONJ cast member celebrated his 50th birthday, which is on Tuesday, over the weekend with Teresa and their families, including Teresa’s oldest daughter, Gia Giudice, 23, who shared an Instagram Story post of him blowing out his candles on his 50-shaped cake.

    Gia Giudice recently offered an update on her career in law and her relationship with her boyfriend, Christian Carmichael.

    As the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member’s family, including her parents, Teresa Giudice, 51, and Joe Giudice, 51, and step-father Luis Ruelas, 48, wished her a happy 23rd birthday, Gia revealed that after graduating from Rutgers University last year with a degree in criminal justice, as well as a minor degree in sociology, she’s preparing to start law school in September.

    “School is done for me right now,” Gia confirmed to BravoTV.com on January 9. “I am working for Rymax right now, which is a marketing company; they’re basically an incentive rewards company. And I’m working with their law team to basically just shadow what they’re doing with the contracting between the vendors and the company.”

    “I think I want to get into family law,” she continued. “Obviously once I go into law school, I’ll get a better feel of what I want to do.”

    In addition to studying for her Law School Admission Test (LSAT), Gia is enjoying time with Christian, whom she traveled to Europe with last summer.

    “My boyfriend and I just went on a European cruise,” she revealed. “We went to the South of France and Spain, and it was seriously an amazing cruise.”

    “My boyfriend is great,” she added. “We’ve been together for about four years now. We’re going pretty strong.”

    That said, Gia confirmed that marriage “is not in the cards right now.”

    “I definitely want to finish school, he’s working on his career. So definitely we just want our careers set and everything settled before thinking about any of that. We’re still very young,” she noted.

    Over the weekend, as Gia was flooded with birthday messages on social media, Christian posted a photo of the two of them on his Instagram Story, along with a sweet message.

    “Happy birthday!! I love you,” he wrote, along with a red heart emoji.

    Elsewhere on Instagram, Teresa posted a birthday tribute to her eldest child.

    “Happy 23rd birthday to my beautiful Gia,” she shared with a slideshow of photos of Gia. “You are not only brilliant but also a true leader, guiding your sisters with love and wisdom ALWAYS!! Your amazing qualities shine through in every role you play, a phenomenal daughter and an incredible sister. May this special day bring you joy and all the happiness your heart desires. Keep inspiring us all with your remarkable spirit! LOVE YOU Mommy.”

    Gia then received birthday wishes from dad Joe.

    “Happy Birthday sweetheart,” he stated with a pic of the two of them.

    Even Luis had kind words for Gia on her special day.

    “Happy Birthday to my incredible stepdaughter, Gia! You are a force to be reckoned with, full of strength and fierceness. The world is ready to witness all the amazing things you’re going to conquer,” he proclaimed. “Keep living life to its fullest and dancing like nobody’s watching. Here’s to another year of incredible adventures! LOVE YOU.”

  • RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice Claims BravoCon Hecklers Were “Paid” to Boo Her, as Tamra Judge Slams Her as “Dumb as a Box of Rocks,” Signals to Family Feud, and Hangs With Melissa

    Teresa Giudice believes the hecklers she faced at BravoCon were actually paid to be there.

    As the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, 51, made the claim on her podcast, Tamra Judge, 56, clapped back at her “sugar mama” claims and suggestion that she doesn’t speak to her family before sharing pics from a friendly outing with Teresa’s estranged sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, 44.

    “Keep talking,” the Real Housewives of Orange County star wrote in the caption of a November 10 slideshow, which included photos of her and Melissa at Lisa Vanderpump‘s Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas.

    As fans may have seen, Tamra shaded Teresa’s husband, Luis Ruelas, 48, at BravoCon by naming him as the “worst house husband,” which prompted Teresa to speak out against her on her podcast, Namaste B$tches.

    “Isn’t she the sugar mama for him? And I think maybe he’s getting tired of her and maybe that’s why she’s like, acting up. Because she’s older than him right? She’s a sugar mama. She bought the gym so he could run it because he was a trainer? This is what I’ve heard,” Teresa noted.

    “She doesn’t even talk to her own family. She doesn’t. She’s just a miserable person and if you’re miserable, be miserable where you’re from in Orange County and stay there,” she added.

    Following the episode, Tamra took to Instagram to share her reaction to the digs.

    “She’s dumb as a box of rocks … We own a [multi-million] dollar CBD company [and] we opened CUT Fitness together while he was still running a law firm. We do things the legal and ethical way in life [namaste b*tch] … The best part is she said I don’t speak to my family … I speak to everyone in my family unlike her. If you’re gonna come for me at least get your facts straight,” Tamra wrote, adding a hashtag for “bring on the bots.”

    Meanwhile, on another episode of Namaste B$tches, via Instagram, Teresa reacted to the boos she received as she declared the “chapter’s closed” with brother Joe Gorga.

    “I heard that there [were] paid hecklers to come. That was put out there that people were going around, offering people money to come [heckle]. It’s crazy. But I have to say BravoCon was amazing to us. They said they went on right when the tickets went on sale for a picture with Luis and I and it was sold out like immediately.”

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime early next year.

  • RHOM’s Alexia Echevarria on ‘Sus’ Encounters With Luis & If He Tried to Date Her, Adriana Feud, and Thierry Drama, Plus Regrets, RHUGT Cast She’s In Touch With & Housewives Divorce Curse

    RHOM’s Alexia Echevarria on ‘Sus’ Encounters With Luis & If He Tried to Date Her, Adriana Feud, and Thierry Drama, Plus Regrets, RHUGT Cast She’s In Touch With & Housewives Divorce Curse

    RHOM's Alexia Echevarria on "Sus" Encounters With Luis, Adriana Feud, and Thierry Drama, Plus Housewives Divorce Curse and Who She Still Talks to From RHUGT

    Alexia Echevarria appeared on Wednesday’s Watch What Happens Live, where she addressed claims of Luis Ruelas trying to date her before he struck up a romance with Teresa Giudice.

    In addition to discussing her potential reconciliation with Adriana De Moura, 57, looking back on their drama with Thierry, and admitting she’s afraid of the Real Housewives divorce curse, the Real Housewives of Miami star, 56, addressed the change in dynamics amid season six and revealed who she’s still in touch with from Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.

    “With [Heather Gay] and with [Whitney Rose],” Alexia revealed on the November 1 episode of WWHL.

    While Alexia left season five at odds with several of her castmates, including Dr. Nicole Martin, 38, she said that when it came to season six, she went in with a different mindset.

    “Once we see ourselves on TV and we see those scenes, we are not happy with the person that we see and we try to make changes, and truthfully, I was good with all the girls. I just don’t know how I ended up there,” Alexia admitted. “I think that I’m very passionate when I speak or when I’m trying to defend myself, and we may say things that we don’t mean and it continues to get uglier. And that’s what happened but I’ve been with the girls for so many years already and then new girls that came into the show are wonderful. They all have so much to offer so I was like, this season, I’m not gonna do that.”

    “I want all the girls to be together and I’m gonna bring all the girls together,” she added.

    As for the odd demeanor of Guerdy Abraira, 45, who later confirmed she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer, on Wednesday’s RHOM, Alexia said she and her co-stars didn’t yet know what was wrong.

    “At that moment, I just knew that emotionally, she was very unstable. But I didn’t know what was bothering her. I knew it had to be something but we just didn’t know what it was,” she shared.

    She then confessed that she is afraid of the Housewives curse.

    “I’m so scared. I’m like about to quit the show because all the ladies get divorced. It’s crazy,” she noted.

    During a game of “Do! You! Regret It!?,” Alexia said she does regret insinuating that all Russian women are sex workers, which was a point of contention between her and Julia Lemigova, 51, during season five, and admitted she does not regret trying to meet with late ex-husband Herman Echevarria‘s male lover on camera.

    As for not reading Adriana’s season five love interest’s full divorce document, which revealed Thierry was not still married, as she previously suspected, Alexia surprisingly had no regrets, explaining, “It came from a good place.”

    Also on the live broadcast, Alexia revealed what it will take for her and Adriana to reconcile.

    “I think it would take her kind of like standing up to who she is and wanting that friendship. She has to earn it back, but we’ve always cared for each other, so I’m sure we’ll get there,” she noted. “I feel like she has to want it just like I do, but we were never friends that way so when we get there, we get there.”

    Later, during the WWHL: After Show, Alexia was asked if Luis tried to date her before Teresa, as Melissa suggested at the RHONJ season 12 reunion earlier this year.

    “No, absolutely not,” Alexia confirmed, proceeding to explain their pre-Teresa interactions.

    “We saw each other in Barcelona, but I was with [husband Todd Nepola] before he was with Teresa. He knew who I was, of course, [from RHOM],” she recalled. “We were staying in the same hotel and he was just being like nice, and friendly … He has an autistic son so he can relate to my journey so he came to me to speak to me and say what a great mom I was.”

    But that wasn’t the only run-in they had.

    “We met there for the first time, and then for whatever reason we saw each other again in some other country that we were traveling at the same time,” she shared, prompting fellow guest Garcelle Beauvais, 56, to ask, “Again?!”

    “Yes, we were traveling somewhere else. I was with Todd the entire time so Todd saw the whole thing so it wasn’t like he was hitting on me. He was just talking to me,” Alexia insisted.

    But Garcelle wasn’t so sure, noting that Luis’ behavior was “a little sus.”

    “I guess,” Alexia replied, before insisting, “I don’t know why anybody thinks anything of it because I didn’t. I meet a lot of nice people and fans and I don’t think anything of it.”

    At that point, Andy Cohen, 55, got involved, asking, “[Nice people] that then show up in another country and then wind up marrying… ?”

    Still, Alexia wasn’t convinced that Luis’ intentions were impure.

    “He’s from Jersey so I don’t know why anybody thinks anything. I don’t get it,” she stated. “Why does anybody want to make it more than what it is? It’s nothing, but people [suspect] he had an agenda, and he knew who she was and the same way that he met Alexia before but Alexia was in a relationship with Todd, maybe I’ll move into Teresa. But I don’t think that way.”

    “I think that he of course knew who [Teresa] was. Everybody knows who we are. So yeah, he ended up with Teresa and now we’re all friends and everything’s great,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of Miami season six airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 9/8c and streams the next day on Peacock.
