In 2022, rumors began to emerge that Luis Ruelas had been physically abusive toward his ex-fiancee. In fact, he was alleged to have beaten her in front of their kids. And inevitably, the family and friends of his wife Teresa Guidice were keen to find out whether there was any substance to the stories.
Ruelas addressed them head-on during one particular episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” telling a group of various husbands (via People), “Let me let you in on a little secret: the girl you’re referring to, I heard a rumor that she stabbed her husband with a butcher knife … while I was dating her, [I heard] a rumor about it … I didn’t want to believe it … I was stupid. I don’t know man, I wasn’t strong.”

Giudice’s brother Joe Gorga appeared skeptical of the defense but told the cameras that he’d stay quiet about any concerns for the sake of his sister who’s apparently far more convinced of Ruelas’ claims. He then warned his brother-in-law, “Listen, there’s a lot of s*** coming out, but I said to my sister, ‘Does he treat you right?’ She says yes. But you f*** up, I’m gonna find out about that, trust me.”
