‘RHONJ’ Star Rachel Fuda Claims Teresa Giudice Is Using Her Husband to Stay Relevant
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Rachel Fuda is accusing Teresa Giudice of leveraging her husband’s drama to maintain her relevance on the show.
Rachel Fuda has openly criticized Teresa Giudice. In an interview with Us Weekly, the 33-year-old reality star expressed her belief that her ongoing feud with the 51-year-old Teresa is strategically motivated. Rachel suggested that Teresa is using their dispute to “solidify her relevancy and paycheck.”
“Who else does she have? Melissa’s off. Margaret’s off. She’s not going to fight with Dolores. Jen’s so far up her butt, she can’t even see her eyeballs. And then, who else do we have?” Rachel remarked, highlighting the dynamics within their cast and questioning Teresa’s options for engaging with other cast members.
During the Season 13 reunion of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, tensions escalated between Rachel Fuda and Teresa Giudice when it was disclosed that Teresa’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas — who she married in August 2022 — allegedly hired a private investigator to delve into the backgrounds of other cast members.
The conflict intensified in the Season 14 premiere, which aired earlier this month. Teresa Giudice made a shocking claim, alleging that Rachel’s husband, John, had once been the “biggest drug dealer in Bergen County.” This revelation added further strain to the already fraught relationship between the two housewives.
In response to Teresa Giudice’s comments about her husband during the Season 14 premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey — Rachel Fuda dismissed the allegations as “such a joke.”
“We’ve all made mistakes as kids,” Rachel explained in an interview. “We’ve all done things that someone would say is ‘bad’ or try to weaponize.”
She further elaborated on her husband John’s past, emphasizing that he is not ashamed of his previous actions or experiences. Rachel expressed her frustration over how his past was presented, stating, “It’s just unfortunate that that opportunity for him to tell and share his own story was completely taken from him and manipulated into something that it’s not and weaponized against him.” This highlights the ongoing tensions and the personal stakes involved in their reality TV show narratives.
Teresa Giudice, a longstanding member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey for all 14 seasons, is expanding her reality TV presence by joining Season 2 of E!’s “House of Villains.” This move was recently criticized by Rachel, who referred to it as a money grab.
“Hustlin’ for a buck out here in these streets. You gotta do what you gotta do,” Rachel commented, seemingly alluding to rumors about Teresa’s financial difficulties.
Further intensifying the drama, the Season 14 trailer of The Real Housewives of New Jersey features several of Teresa’s castmates accusing her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, of financially compromising her. This ongoing narrative adds another layer of complexity to Teresa’s storyline on the show.
Margaret Josephs made a striking claim about Teresa Giudice’s financial situation on The Real Housewives of New Jersey — asserting that Luis “Louie” Ruelas had “pissed [Giudice’s] money away.” Teresa addressed Margaret’s accusations during an episode of Tori Spelling’s “MisSPELLING” podcast.
Responding directly to Margaret’s comments, Teresa vehemently retorted, “Bitch, you don’t even know what you’re talking about,” showcasing her frustration and the heated nature of their exchanges.
