Luis Ruelas had a hot mic moment<\/a>, he threw caution to the wind.<\/p>\nNow that the cameras caught how he really talks about Melissa and Joe Gorga, he had a choice to make: pretend like it was unusual, or double down.<\/p>\n
On this week\u2019s episode, Luis doubled down.<\/p>\n
Luis called Joe \u201can animal,\u201d insisting that he would not \u201clower himself\u201d to the level of \u201cf\u2013king trash\u201d like his brother-in-law.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13, Episode 14, Teresa Giudice and then-fiance Luis Ruelas sat down to finalize some wedding details.

Sitting outside just minutes before rain began, she chatted with Luis Ruelas about the finer points of seating arrangements.<\/p>\n
Already, Joe and Melissa were coming up in conversation \u2014 and not in a fun way.<\/p>\nDuring wedding planning, Luis Ruelas refers to \u201choopla\u201d that his future in-laws started. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAt first, Luis referred to Joe and Melissa as having started \u201choopla\u201d regarding the wedding.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s some pretty mild language. Maybe the most famous instance of the word\u2019s use is on Spongebob Squarepants<\/em>.<\/p>\nBut that jab was only the first. And it understated the strong feelings of resentment at play.<\/p>\nSpeaking to the confessional camera, Teresa Giudice says that the actual wedding planning is not stressing her out at all. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTeresa spoke to the confessional camera about how, unlike so many brides-to-be, she did not feel stressed about wedding planning.<\/p>\n
(Often, wedding day stress relates to money and to it being a new experience. Teresa has married before, and she\u2019s rich. That at least partially explains why the planning was so chill)<\/p>\n
However, she noted that there were other things on her mind. Specifically, ongoing tensions with her brother and her sister-in-law.<\/p>\nAs Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas reach out to his mother, they marvel at how easy things are with his family. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDuring the planning, they made a phone call to Luis\u2019 mother. She was very accommodating, insisting that she was fine with whatever plans they had.<\/p>\n
Teresa marveled at the contrast between her interactions with Luis\u2019 family and what things have been like with hers.<\/p>\n
As the rain began to fall, they made their way into the house. Quickly, the conversation shifted from nuptials to feuds.<\/p>\nTaking shelter inside from the rain, Luis Ruelas asks his bride-to-be how things went with her sister-in-law. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs Luis tried to take stock of things, he asked how things had been going.<\/p>\n
He asked, specifically, about how things went with Melissa.<\/p>\n
Not well<\/em> is almost a given. But Teresa had specific remarks about her sister-in-law\u2019s reactions to things.<\/p>\nUsing her nails to accentuate her gestures, Teresa Giudice expresses how her sister-in-law does not, to her, seem reasonable. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn her mind, Melissa is not reacting in proportion to events as she sees them.<\/p>\n
(We have all watched both women become increasingly irate after every slight, every conflict)<\/p>\n
Oh, and Teresa shared that Melissa was really dragging her heels about RSVPing.<\/p>\nAs Teresa Giudice shares that she has not received a response, Luis Ruelas suggests that his future sister-in-law wants them \u201cto chase\u201d after her. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLuis chimed in, saying that Melissa \u201cwants us to chase\u201d her for an answer.<\/p>\n
In other words, he believes that it was some sort of power play on Melissa\u2019s part.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Teresa pulled out her texts with Melissa. Specifically regarding the rehearsal dinner.<\/p>\nLuis Ruelas looks at texts between his then-fiancee and Melissa Gorga. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWithin the texts, Melissa says that she didn\u2019t know the person who texted her about the rehearsal dinner.<\/p>\n
(Millions of Americans receive dozens of unwanted scam and spam texts and calls every week. The deluge makes it difficult to see important calls and texts from anyone who is not already a contact)<\/p>\n
But Teresa and Luis weren\u2019t buying Melissa\u2019s story.<\/p>\nLooking at the texts, Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas note that surely everyone knows that a rehearsal dinner will happen the night before a wedding. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs Teresa reasoned, this is a wedding.<\/p>\n
Melissa is a grownup. A married grownup. She knows how weddings work.<\/p>\n
There is pretty much always a rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.<\/p>\nFrankly, Luis Ruelas doesn\u2019t even want to read any more of this conversation. He\u2019s unhappy. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLuis had read enough.<\/p>\n
He very dramatically dropped Teresa\u2019s phone onto the table. <\/p>\n
(We know that it has a phone case, like they all have to have these days, but still, we winced)<\/p>\nIn Teresa Giudice\u2019s mind, she tells Luis Ruelas, her sister-in-law is essentially keeping her brother from her. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTeresa is blaming Melissa for keeping Joe from all of this.<\/p>\n
She complained that her sister-in-law should \u201clet him have his family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Luis said that he tired of Joe blaming him for every single thing.<\/p>\nLuis Ruelas says that he is always receiving blame from his future brother-in-law, and that his then-fiancee\u2019s ex-husband warned him that this would be the case. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTeresa\u2019s ex-husband, Joe Giudice, had apparently reached out to Luis (after Gia brought him up to speed on the drama).<\/p>\n
He advised Luis that, no matter what, Joe will find some way to blame him for everything.<\/p>\n
This is like hearing about someone else\u2019s game of telephone. We\u2019re hearing Luis\u2019 account of what he talked about with Joe Giudice, whose info came from Gia, whose version of events came from Teresa and Luis. Messy<\/em>.<\/p>\nSpeaking to the confessional camera, Teresa Giudice expresses that she feels so embarrassed that her family is causing problems. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTeresa emphasized how humiliated she feels that her family is causing problems.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, we can all relate. We often feel like our relatives, our friends, are somehow our responsibility.<\/p>\n
At the same time \u2026 some fans are already remarking that Teresa\u2019s apparent need to apologize to Luis feels unhealthy. That could just be Luis\u2019 unsavory reputation at work, however.<\/p>\nReferring to his brother-in-law, Luis Ruelas says that he has remained \u201ccalm in the last three months around an animal like that?\u201d (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis is when the gloves came off with Luis.<\/p>\n
He hyped up his own self-restraint after remaining \u201ccalm in the last three months around an animal like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teresa did not bat an eye at what he said. Or at what followed.<\/p>\nAgain disparaging his brother-in-law, Luis Ruelas says that he is \u201cnot gonna lower myself to f\u2013king trash that does that.\u201d (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLuis declared that he was \u201cnot gonna lower myself to f\u2013king trash\u201d that behaves as Joe has.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Teresa\u2019s response to this was to feel sorry for Luis for having put up with so much.<\/p>\n
This is such an ugly, bitter situation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
