The Season 14 premiere of Real Housewives of New Jersey proved, once again, why the husbands are an integral part of the show. As the women go toe-to-toe on their issues, the men are having their own conflict. And it’s all in the name of loyalty to family. It runs deep with this cast.
It’s clear that Luis Ruelas and John Fuda are going to be sparring this season. And by proxy, their wives Teresa Giudice and Rachel Fuda. The Valet King founder recently gave an interview to discuss the premiere and his issues with the self-proclaimed entrepreneur.
John feels like “Teresa’s storyline” this season
John was a guest on the May 1 episode of Two T’s In a Pod podcast, hosted by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, Teddi Mellencamp, and Real Housewives of Orange County favorite Tamra Judge.
Referring to the sneak peek for the season, the accountability coach asked John if he thought, “Luis [is] using Teresa’s money.”
“Luis’ a social climber,” the RHONJ star responded.
Despite the cast hearing “a lot of things” about each other on social media, John takes what he’s heard about Luis seriously, and reveals that he does not trust Teresa’s better half.
“The whole investigative thing rubbed me wrong. The whole way he does business rubbed me wrong,” he admitted.
Fans will recall how Luis backtracked on his remarks that he had hired a private investigator to do a check on the RHONJ cast.
Another offense, according to the father-of-three, is the “try to be perfect” image he believes Luis is trying to push.
“The whole know-it-all and trying to be the greatest father thing,” he added. “None of us are perfect.”
As opposed to being a supporting player in his freshman season, this time John was in the middle of the action since episode one.
“You have to defend yourself,” he explained of feeling “attacked” during production.
And it’s certainly not the vibe John was hoping for while filming RHONJ.
“I wanted to go out and drink,” he explained. “And have a good time. Next thing you know I feel like I’m Teresa’s storyline this year.”
