In a preview of an upcoming episode of “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Teresa Giudice accused her brother Joe Gorga of being responsible for her husband Luis Ruelas‘ purported loss of $250,000 in a failed business deal.
Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ): Teresa Giudice Blames Her Brother Joe For Her Husband Losing $250,000-‘My Brother Went Nuts’
During her discussion with co-stars Jennifer Aydin and Bill Aydin, Giudice expresses her frustration with constantly having to defend Gorga and states that she has grown tired of doing so.
Before tying the knot with Ruelas, Giudice recorded the incident and later stated during an interview that Gorga, who is 43 years old, suggested the concept of a pizza oven.
Despite that being the case, things didn’t turn out well. In her comments, Teresa said: “I’ll be honest with you. There was a business dealing, and my fiancé lost a quarter of a million dollars.”
Ruelas has not provided any further details regarding his wife’s statement, leaving unanswered questions about how he lost his supposed investment in the pizza business which didn’t seem to have materialized.
The topic of money has been a sensitive issue for Giudice and Gorga’s family, as a mere sum of $200 caused a decades-long rift between their father, Giacinto Gorga, and his brother.
Teresa added: “Then [Ruelas] spoke to our attorney, and he [was] like, ‘Well, what percentage should I give Joey?’
“I guess they came up with, I don’t know, five percent, so my brother went nuts – like, he wanted 50 percent.”
Throughout Season 13, the Gorgas and Giudices have remained in conflict, causing Joe and Melissa Gorga to be absent from Giudice and Ruelas’ wedding in August 2022.
And as part of that process, Joe even went so far as to state that he felt his comedy career would last longer than Teresa’s marriage.
And to make matters even more controversial, Melissa spoke openly about Teresa’s cosmetic surgery including the claim that she had surgery in order to lengthen her forehead.
In her comments at the time, Melissa remarked: “Everybody gets a little tune-up after the first time [they see themselves on TV].
“Teresa did her forehead. She went back a little further [with her hairline]. Everybody does something. I need to go a little forward. I got a little bit big of a forehead.”
It is fair to say that the Gorgas and Guidice’s do not see eye to eye. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this?
