Heavy/NBCUniversal Luis Ruelas and Teresa Giudice.

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star John Fuda did not hold back when sharing his opinion of his castmate, Luis “Louie” Ruelas.

During an appearance on the May 1 episode of the “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast, co-hosted by Bravo personalities Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge, John Fuda and his wife Rachel Fuda stated they took issue with Ruelas and his wife, Teresa Giudice. When Mellencamp asked if they believed “Louie [is] using Teresa’s money,” John Fuda said he believed “Louie’s a social climber.” The father of three also suggested that he has not trusted Ruelas for quite some time. He said he heard “a lot of things” about the father of two before they began filming RHONJ together.

John Fuda also stated that he did not appreciate Ruelas threatening to investigate his RHONJ castmates during the show’s 13th season. As fans are aware, Ruelas said he had lied when he made the remark and had not hired an investigator to look into the RHONJ cast.

“The whole investigative thing rubbed me wrong. The whole way he does business rubbed me wrong. The whole know-it-all and trying to be the greatest father thing,” said John Fuda.

In addition, he stated that he believed Ruelas should not “try to be perfect,” as “none of us are perfect.”
