Teresa Giudice Supports Husband's Comment at RHONJ Reunion

Teresa Giudice publicly defended her husband, Luis Ruelas, during the Season 14 reunion of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" after he faced criticism for a controversial comment regarding Margaret Josephs' son. The incident occurred when cast members viewed a clip of Ruelas wishing “suffering” on Josephs' child, prompting a strong reaction from Josephs, who expressed her horror and even made the sign of the cross in response. During the reunion, which was filmed in separate rooms due to ongoing tensions within the cast, Dolores Catania remarked that Ruelas would face backlash for his statement. Giudice, however, stood firm in her support, stating, “I don’t care,” and highlighted her family's own struggles, emphasizing that her stepson and daughters had also suffered. She urged Catania not to defend Josephs, dismissing the criticism of Ruelas' remark. In the wake of the backlash, Ruelas took to Instagram to apologize for his comments, acknowledging that he was wrong to bring up Josephs' son. He expressed disappointment in his actions and sought to clarify his intentions. Meanwhile, Melissa Gorga, Giudice's estranged sister-in-law, condemned Ruelas' comment as “one of the lowest lows” she has witnessed in her 14 seasons on the show, further illustrating the divisive atmosphere surrounding the reunion.
