Heavy/ NBC Luis Ruelas.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave intimated that Luis “Louie” Ruelas had become a man possessed as he stared down brother-in-law Joe Gorga and said, “I know everything. Let’s play,” at the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 13 reunion.
Discussing the teaser for the third and final part of the reunion, Arroyave told “Two Ts in a Pod” cohost Tamra Judge that Ruelas, husband of Teresa Giudice, appeared almost nonhuman.
“There was something going on back and forth and Louie looked – it was, like, almost like he wasn’t a human anymore. Like his eyes looked straight at — I think it was Joe — and he was like, ‘I know more. Bring it,’” Arroyave said, using a growling voice to mimic Ruelas.
On the June 6 episode of the podcast, Arroyave and Judge also discussed the final moments of the second part of the RHONJ season 13 reunion, when it seemed the tension on set could turn physical.
“The part that frightened” her was when moderator Andy Cohen requested that Ruelas and Giudice’s brother not start an altercation before filming the reunion finale. She said she could “tell that Andy [was] actually frightened it’s going to get physical” because he said, “Hey, I really — I need you to not get physical” and told the men to remain seated.

Giudice spoke about the RHONJ season 13 reunion, filmed on April 20, during the May 10 episode of her podcast, “Namaste B$tches.” She stated that she was pleased the ordeal was over. She also said she was able to get “some stuff off [her] chest that [she] needed to get off [her] chest.”
Joe Gorga’s wife, Melissa Gorga, who has been publicly feuding with Giudice, also shared her thoughts about the season 13 reunion while recording the May 11 episode of her podcast, “On Display With Melissa Gorga.” She stated that an RHONJ star made accusations and deflected throughout the reunion.
“It was so bizarre, some of the stuff,” said the “On Display” singer.

During a May 2023 interview with E! News, alongside Ruelas, Giudice stated that she does not intend on trying to repair her relationship with the Gorgas.
“I wish them well and I’m just going to focus on our family, what’s right for me. Like it’s very stressful as you get older in life and you know, you just have to focus on yourself and what makes you happy,” said the reality television personality.
During a joint May 2023 appearance on “Sherri,” Giudice and Ruelas spoke about their relationship. Ruelas suggested he was not prepared to become a Bravo personality because he began dating his now-wife at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
“It was really quiet, family time, private time, that’s where we really grew together and bonded because there was no showing off … [RHONJ] was definitely a different world to walk in to,” said Ruelas.
Giudice then shared that she told her husband “to follow [her] lead” when he began filming RHONJ.
“Unfortunately it got hairy, it did because of the whole family thing, which, you know, it is what it is … I feel bad for him and I always say sorry because it’s not easy,” said Giudice.
