Rulla Pontarelli‘s husband Brian‘s alleged mistress, Beth Walker, reacted to a sneak peek at the Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion that featured Jo-Ellen Tiberi calling out Rulla’s denial over their affair.
Ahead of the two-part special, Bravo shared a preview on Instagram in which Rulla, 46, claimed to have proof that Brian, 49, stopped cheating on her following the news of his affair, as Jo-Ellen, 38, labeled her “delusional” amid what producers hoped would be a five-minute break.
“Andy, I actually have Brian’s surgery records for the day that alleged video [of Brian and his mistress] was taken, his whole entire schedule,” Rulla claimed of the surgeries her podiatrist husband was reportedly conducting on the day in question.
“That’s impossible,” Jo-Ellen replied.
Rulla then pointed out that the date on the video could have been modified.
“You are delusional …. All you do is say it’s lying. You didn’t even see the video,” Jo-Ellen fired back, as Rulla declared that “it [didn’t] matter” that she hadn’t seen it.
“They didn’t stop f*cking until December!” Jo-Ellen pressed. “They were still meeting up in January.”
Attempting to silence the discussion, Rulla told her castmate, “I’m tired. This subject’s done. I’m done … I’ve already told you to stop. I’m handling things my own way … Let it be.”
While Jo-Ellen argued that she was “done,” she also pointed out that they were at the reunion, where the happenings of the season were supposed to be discussed.
“What did you think was gonna happen at the reunion? Did you think that something was gonna happen?” she asked Rulla.
Then, after a producer said, “Let’s wait until the cameras roll again,” Rulla concluded, “I’m so done.”

Following the sharing of the clip, Beth posted a comment in which she described the scene as “sad.”
“RULLA how are you still believing Brian? It’s sad to watch this. You deserve better,” she wrote.
Also in the comments section of the Instagram post, a number of social media users weighed in.
“Okay look, I love delusion as much as the next reality TV fan, but this isn’t even fun to watch at this point anymore, it’s almost sad that she rallies behind him,” one person admitted.
“Jo-Ellen is 100% correct. Rulla is in denial. He will do it again and again,” shared another.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island season one reunion begins Sunday, June 21, at 9/8c on Bravo.
