Jacqueline Laurita Confirms Joe Gorga and Margaret Josephs Plotted With Luis Ruelas’ Ex-Girlfriend
The drama surrounding The Real Housewives of New Jersey continues to heat up as Jacqueline Laurita recently dropped a bombshell in a recent interview.
Jacqueline revealed that “court records” proved Joe Gorga, along with Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret Josephs, were involved with Luis Ruelas’ ex-girlfriend during her legal battle with Luis, on the AllAboutTRH podcast.
Luis, who is married to Joe Gorga’s sister Teresa Giudice, addressed his legal disputes with his ex-girlfriend during the most recent season of RHONJ. Teresa hinted that Margaret had been in communication with the ex, a claim Margaret later admitted to. However, what wasn’t revealed on the show was Joe Gorga’s involvement. According to Jacqueline, the ex was allegedly attempting to use cast members to expose dirt on Luis.
Luis Ruelas’ Heated Outburst in the Finale
In the season finale, tensions boiled over as Luis expressed his frustration, particularly with Margaret and her son. He lashed out, stating that he wished they would “suffer” — a comment that sparked outrage among fans. Many viewers were disturbed by his aggressive remarks, while others speculated about what led to such a heated reaction.
On the podcast, Jacqueline appeared to defend Luis, suggesting that his comments were made in the heat of the moment. “Being on the show, I’ve said horrible things too at the heat of the moment when you’re angry at someone and you’re screaming and you’re just so fed up,” she explained. “And I think he was just so fed up in the moment.”
Jacqueline Says Court Records Prove Involvement
Jacqueline went on to elaborate, claiming that Luis’ anger stemmed from the fact that there were “court records” showing that Margaret, Joe, and Jackie were all involved with his ex-girlfriend. “They had court records showing that Margaret was involved, and her brother [Joe] was involved and Jackie was involved,” Jacqueline shared. “And they knew this the whole time.”
Jackie Goldschneider Fires Back
In a past interview for BravoTV, Jackie responded to claims that she was behind the communication with Luis’ ex, refuting Margaret’s insinuation that Jackie was the mastermind. “Margaret thought that she was going to dismiss her culpability by putting it all on me, but the truth is that once my [feud] with Teresa was over, I stopped speaking to that ex. So I hadn’t spoken to her in years,” Jackie explained. “And then I was like, ‘F**k it.’ I’m gonna admit it, and if Teresa doesn’t want to be my friend anymore, I get it.”
Teresa Giudice Remains Unbothered
Teresa Giudice, however, didn’t seem fazed by the revelations. In the same interview, she admitted that she “already knew” about Jackie’s involvement with Luis’ ex-girlfriend and didn’t react when Margaret tried to expose it during the finale. “I didn’t even flinch,” Teresa shared.
With The Real Housewives of New Jersey currently on hiatus and the future of the cast still up in the air, the ongoing fallout from Luis’ legal battles and these new revelations continue to leave fans wondering what’s next for the series. Neither Bravo nor the cast members have commented on the latest developments.
