Real Housewives of Rhode Island star Jo-Ellen Tiberi has been front and center this season. She has no filter and won’t hesitate to come after anyone who targets her first. Well, one RHORI cast member asked her for actual proof, not allegations, that her husband has a mistress. And it sounds like a RHORI cast member answered the call and delivered.
Jo-Ellen Tiberi promises the receipts at the RHORI reunion
Rulla Nehme Pontarelli admitted that her husband, Brian Ponterelli, had an affair. However, while Rulla was convinced that Brian ended his indiscretion, the rest of the cast was positive that he hadn’t. In fact, when Jo-Ellen told Rulla that Brian’s affair wasn’t over, she demanded proof.
During a visit to Watch What Happens Live, a fan asked Jo-Ellen about Brian’s alleged mistress. “What did you think of Kelsey Swanson saying on Watch What Happens Live last week that Rulla’s husband went to see the mistress during the polo match because she was threatening to show up there, and have you spoken to the mistress since the show aired?” the fan asked.
“I have spoken to the mistress since the show aired. I have known her for 10 years,” Jo-Ellen explained. “And what do I think about what Kelsey said? I guess you’re just going to have to tune into the reunion and find out who has proof.” Host Andy Cohen remarked, “Oh, who has proof?”
Then, the RHORI star let the cat out of the bag. “I do. It’s me,” Jo-Ellen said with a laugh. Then, Andy asked Jo-Ellen what she thought about fans “who think you’re going too hard on Rulla about this?”
She replied, “I was trying, and I truly do care about Rulla as a person. I do not care about Brian, but once you come for my job, like I said, I come for you.” Jo-Ellen added, “So, when she’s 85, I’ll calm down.” Yikes! Meanwhile, Jo-Ellen may never get that apology from Rulla.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams the following day on Peacock.
