The 12th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey may be halfway over, but when it comes to the cast’s concerns regarding Teresa Giudice‘s then-boyfriend and now-fiancé, Luis Ruelas, it seems the drama is far from over.
In addition to showcasing the cast’s fun (and messy) trip to Nashville and some hilarious baseball shenanigans, the midseason trailer features Teresa’s emotional move out of her and Joe Giudice‘s former marital home, marital issues between Jennifer Aydin and husband Bill Aydin, and a heated feud between Teresa and Margaret Josephs.
“Oh my God, this is so much,” Teresa says as she tosses some of her belongings out of a closet in the foyer of her and Joe’s former home.
“Moving is going to be very sad,” Gia replies.
“I don’t want to leave this house,” Gabriella agrees, prompting Teresa to tear up. “The only memories that we’re going to have was here with dad.”
As Teresa prepares for life with Luis, who she purchased a new home with in 2021, Jennifer is considering whether she wants to stay married to husband Bill.
“You were doing your thing without any consideration of me,” Jennifer tells Bill over a meal.
Then, while discussing their issues with Margaret, Jennifer admits she’s doing more for their marriage.
“It’s always me trying for him,” she tells her RHONJ castmate. “I don’t know if I can work through it.”
“I know you’re f-cking kidding me,” Margaret replies, citing disbelief.
Although Margaret isn’t initially sold on the idea that Jennifer would actually walk away from Bill, she later reveals, “Bill hasn’t been around.” And in a scene with his wife, Bill hints at why.
“I don’t forgive them for what they did,” he tells Jennifer.
Apparently, things between Bill and the men of the show, including Joe Gorga, have become strained.
“I just think he’s running from the situation,” Joe tells the guys during a game of baseball.
And during another scene, after telling Bill, “We are friends,” Bill tells Joe, “F-ck you.”
Joe is also center stage with Luis as he questions his sister’s partner about his questionable past.
“What’s up with the past?” Joe asks Luis, man-to-man.
“I’m not going to sit here and say that I was this crown of a man,” Luis begins.
Elsewhere, things are growing increasingly tense between Teresa and Margaret as Teresa accused Margaret of saying Luis is “abusive.”
“I didn’t say he was abusive. All the girlfriends said he was abusive,” Margaret clarifies.
“She’s been dragging my boyfriend through the mud,” Teresa later tells Dolores.
Then, during a group scene with the cast in Nashville, a major blowout between Teresa and Margaret is teased.
“I’ll tell you where she belongs: a zoo,” Margaret says of Teresa as Melissa Gorga attempts to stop her from confronting their castmate. “I’m f-cking done. She f-cking with the wrong girl.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 12 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
