The cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is known for their table-flipping fights, but the RHONJ season 13 reunion trailer hints that the fractures within are likely now too deep for repair. The often-seen disagreements between the Gorga and Giudice families came to a head this season, as the Gorgas skipped Teresa Giudice’s wedding to Luis Ruelas. In seasons past, Teresa has alleged that Melissa was a stripper, a gold digger and, now, a cheater. Prior to Teresa’s nuptials, Luis Ruelas and Joe Gorga had an altercation that almost turned physical, further dividing the families. In addition, many cast members are growing weary of Luis, placing Teresa on edge.
In the three-part reunion trailer for RHONJ season 13, posted by Bravo, Melissa first appears, unbothered, applying lipstick and telling Teresa, “I know you hate me, but please try to control yourself.”
“I can’t wait to never f***ing look at your face again after today,” Teresa cries. Again calm, Melissa questions, “Oh, why? Where ya going?”Annoyed, Teresa answers, “You’re leaving,” implying that she has the power to remove her sister-in-law from the RHONJ cast. “Oh, I am?” Melissa responds, in a mocking-like tone. In the wildest accusation yet, Teresa then claims that Melissa is the person who alerted the Feds to her financial problems, stating she has proof by saying, “I called the FBI!“
RHONJ Cast Turns On Teresa Giudice’s New Husband Luis
In the RHONJ season 13 trailer, the husbands are all seen having a go at Luis, as he claims to have hired a PI named Bo Dietl to gain dirt on the cast. Bo later took to Twitter to deny his hiring. However, this all comes to a head at the reunion. To Margaret, Teresa exclaims, “You’re a devil.” In response, Margaret quips, “You are a criminal, and so is he,” pointing to Luis. Newcomer Rachel Fuda then claims that her step-son’s mother was contacted by Louis and his investigator, as Margaret makes similar claims of her child being “called and threatened at work.” A shocked Teresa replies, “He would never do that.”
This three-part RHONJ season 13 reunion appears to be one of the most toxic yet, with accusations ranging from family members calling the Feds to land Teresa in prison, cheating, a non-divorced new boyfriend, and a broken family. Bringing his own security team to the taping, Luis has said that his family has received death threats since joining the RHONJ cast. All of these things compounded have obviously proven to be overwhelming, for the cast and host Andy Cohen alike, like when Teresa walked off the stage and Andy yelled on more than one occasion. One thing is now clear: this cast needs a shake-up, as lightness has fled this group.
Though Teresa claims to live happily within her love bubble to Luis, his actions during RHONJ season 13 leave many questioning his intentions. With the majority of the cast now on his back, Teresa may have a hard time finding people to film with next season, minus her ever-loyal friend and cast member Jennifer Ayden. Though Teresa is seen in the trailer making claims that Melissa is going to be cut from the cast for RHONJ season 14, Melissa has made it clear that she isn’t going anywhere. With a delayed filming start date due to these conflicts, the futures of these cast members are rocky.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
