Once again on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice is center stage. This time, her major storyline involves a controversial romance with her fiancé Luis Ruelas.
Luis has been swimming in hot water in the press after rumors from his ex-girlfriends flooded the news outlets — along with a strange apology video he made last year (addressed to an ex while half-naked men surrounded him on a beach).
In a new clip from the upcoming reunion episode, host Andy Cohen asked Teresa why her daughter Gia was concerned about Luis. After receiving an answer that didn’t impress Andy, he pressed even harder.
“It wasn’t stuff she was reading about him?” he said.
“Oh no, oh no. None of that,” she responded.
Andy continued, “She said it in one of the episodes.” And then, in true Housewives form, footage of the exact conversation was revealed, clearly proving that Gia was concerned about the rumors.
Later in the clip, Teresa admitted that Gia was hearing things “because Margaret [Josephs] put it out there.”
This produced a dramatic “wow” from Margaret (who insists she had nothing to do with information leaks about Luis).
Andy argued that the rumors were “blasted out” before the show. However, Jennifer [Aydin] said Luis’ exes are spreading the information because they’re bitter.
Andy then said the exes must really want to “bury” Luis, to which Teresa responded, “No, it’s because he’s with Teresa Giudice. He’s dating Teresa Giudice.” She then stood up from the couch and did a dramatic twirl, as if for an audience. She went on to say, “Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? He’s dating Teresa. That’s why this is happening. If he was dating maybe Margaret Josephs, this wouldn’t be happening.”
“You are so pompous,” Margaret clapped back, before Andy uttered, “This is more exhausting than normal.”
