Teresa Giudice on “Last Straw” With Gorgas, NYE With Joe Giudice, and Cast Attacks on Luis!
Teresa Giudice recently opened up about her personal and professional challenges while appearing on CBS’s “The Talk.” She discussed the ongoing estrangement from her brother Joe Gorga and his wife Melissa, as well as the difficulties her husband, Luis Ruelas, has faced since joining The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
“My poor husband. When I first met him, this was all new to him. He didn’t understand reality TV, but now he is, unfortunately, adjusted to it. This is his third season. I felt bad for him because he did go through a lot, and I’m glad he didn’t run away from me because he could of, just because it was tough,” Teresa shared. “He didn’t sign up for this. He met Teresa Giudice not thinking a lot of my cast members were gonna attack him on my show, which they did because they were trying to get to me, and they knew they didn’t have anything on me, so they figured, ‘Let’s hurt the person she loves,’ and that’s what they’ve been doing.”
Teresa expressed excitement for fans to see the upcoming season of RHONJ, hinting at revealing moments: “It’s gonna be very eye-opening.”
The reality star also recounted spending New Year’s Eve with her ex-husband Joe Giudice in the Bahamas, an experience that was deeply meaningful for their children.
“Luis was like, ‘Babe, why don’t we go spend New Year’s Eve with your ex. It will make the kids so happy.’ And I was like ‘Really?’ But I have to say, that was so beautiful because my kids were so happy that me and their dad were in the same room,” she explained.
Amid ongoing lawsuits against Andy Cohen and Bravo, Teresa affirmed her support for Cohen, reflecting on their long-standing relationship: “Me and Andy go back so long. I’ve known him for the longest time, and he’s been nothing but so professional, amazing, and through rough times, he was always there for me,” she said. “He emailed me all the time when I was away, so he’s been a tremendous friend, great boss. He’s been nothing but amazing and great to my kids, too, because he’s seen my kids grow up.”
Teresa also touched on her dramatic interactions with the Gorgas, indicating a permanent rift: “After what they did [with] my wedding, tried to make my wedding all about them, that was the last straw. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” she stated. “And this season, something else comes out that I was shocked to hear … My heart starts beating really fast because I get if a stranger goes against me, that’s fine, because a stranger, you expect that from a stranger, but when your family member deliberately hurts you, that’s on a whole other level.”
Reflecting on her celebrity encounters, Teresa shared a memorable moment from Coachella with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: “We were in the VIP area … All of a sudden, Taylor and her boyfriend starts walking by and passes us and my husband’s like, ‘Babe, that’s Taylor Swift,’ And I don’t like to ask anybody for photos because I don’t like to bother them, [but] I was like, I’m gonna do this for Jennifer Aydin,” she recalled. “Jennifer Aydin loves Taylor Swift. And I have to say, Taylor Swift was so sweet. I’m such a Swiftie now.”
“When I went up to her, I’m like, ‘Do you know who I am?’ And she said, ‘Yeah,’” Teresa revealed, pleased by Swift’s recognition.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
