Luis “Louie” Ruelas’ New Business Venture Compared To Jen Shah’s Fraud
Teresa Giudice’s husband Luis “Louie” Ruelas has come under fire after fans suspect his new business in “lead sales,” may be fraudulent.
Some fans believe Luis may be following in the footsteps of convicted fraudster Jen Shah, who is going to prison on February 17, for scamming people in the same type of industry as Teresa’s husband.
Jen Shah projected a glamorous lifestyle on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud conspiracy and admitted to luring thousands of elderly victims into draining their bank accounts and maxing out their credit cards to buy nonexistent “business services.”
When Luis appeared on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 reunion in May 2022, he said that he had been asked to “step down” from his marketing and media company because of the “negative press” he had received from his ex-partners after joining the show.
He said he had no bad feelings toward anyone and wanted to “move forward in a peaceful manner” with the Real Housewives of New Jersey ladies and their husbands even though he lost his job.
Luis appeared alongside the other The Real Housewives of New Jersey husbands on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen shortly thereafter, he confirmed that he hadn’t started a new job yet, but it was “all good.”
While appearing on Watch What Happens Live on February 14, Louie shared news about his career endeavors.
“I started a new company,” Teresa’s husband of six months said. “It’s in media, digital media.”
Host Andy Cohen pressed Louie for more details about his new business, and the Bronx native said he does “lead generation ad sales.”
After Luis announced his new business venture on the talk show, RHONJ fans reacted on social media.
One person tweeted, “Luis‘s new venture is a lead generation company (See: Jen Shah). Umm, did Teresa get that prenup?” Another person noted, “Luis‘s job…. Teresa best not sign a thing!”
Someone else pointed out that, “He was sweating, so bad under his arms, and then even under his pecks,” while discussing his new business venture.
Another person noted, “Lead Sales sounds like a Jen Shah type of job.”
“Anyone that sells someone else information is a crook and should be watched because they aren’t beyond doing worse,if that’s what’s happening.” A fan commented.
A viewer stated, “He totally does the same thing Jen Shah does. You can do that without selling products they don’t deliver and running up credit cards but I still think it’s a sleazy business.”
An astute critic commented, “Aren’t “lead sales” very much related to what Jen Shaw’s business was? Haven’t watched WWHL in ages, but pretty sure it’s selling “lists” of leads that might buy unneeded subscriptions and crap online or by phone. But I’m thinking if you were doing anything similar, you may not want to elaborate.”
Luis then discussed being married to Teresa Giudice. The couple revealed that it’s all “love, love, love” between the newlyweds and their ex-spouses too. Press play to watch below.
During the Watch What Happens Live After Show, Teresa discussed her first encounter with Louie’s “lovely” ex-wife, Marissa.
Also in the interview, Teresa says she doesn’t blame Margaret Josephs for spreading rumors about her husband, Luis, last season. She reveals that they have since made up. In addition to reconciling with Margaret, Teresa’s also forgiven Jackie Goldschneider for her analogy about Gia Giudice.
Teresa addressed her recent reconciliation with former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita. The ladies and their spouses reconnected over a 5-hour lunch in Las Vegas over the weekend. Teresa revealed that she had been thinking about Jacqueline a lot since Teresa’s stepson has autism and so does Jacqueline’s son. Teresa also says the rumors about a fallout with Dina Manzo is false.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays, at 9:00pm ET, on Bravo.
