Rulla Pontarelli reacted to Jo-Ellen Tiberi‘s suggestion that her husband, Brian Pontarelli, was spending his mornings with his mistress, whom he’s now suing for breach of contract, with a post shared to her Instagram Story.
After Jo-Ellen suspected that Brian was using the gym as an excuse to see his other woman on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, asking, “Does Brian look like he goes to the gym,” Rulla shared a clip in which she and several others were seen praising Brian’s toned physique.
“Brian, oh my God, you look amazing. You look like you’re going to the gym every day,” one person proclaimed as the video began. “Are you going to the gym every morning?”
“Gym every morning,” Brian replied.
Another said, “Wow, you rock,” and someone else said he looked “so good.”
“Like a rock,” added Rulla.

As RHORI fans may have seen, Rulla was featured on an episode of Watch What Happens Live last month, where she offered an update on her marriage.
“We’re working on things. To be honest, we’re in a much better place than we were before … It’s like it was prior to the affair, and better,” she confirmed on the April 26 episode of WWHL.
Then, reacting to criticism for going back to Brian after his romance, allegedly with Beth Walker, Rulla admitted to wanting to keep her family together.
“But I’m not stupid at the same time. I know what we had before. I know there’s potential. So I don’t want to be perceived as wrong or weak just because I’m choosing to work on my marriage. I’m not the type to drop a relationship like that, and we have a family,” she reasoned. “I do think that Brian is a good person. I think that he’s good to the core but has made some grave mistakes and bad series of choices.”
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island season one airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.
