MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: The 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Joe Giudice recently described his ex-wife Teresa Giudice's husband, Luis Ruelas, as 'weird,' but later retracted his comment. Luis has recently encouraged Teresa and Joe's daughters to wear thongs and short skirts. Luis' comments were highly criticized on social media, prompting Joe Giudice to respond, "He comes off pretty weird just didn't come across well he’s actually not a bad person I met him a few times."

However, Joe later took to his Instagram Stories for damage control, writing, "I don't know why everyone has to take everything out of context." He added, "I know there are a lot of stories out there saying I commented badly on Louie. I've spent time with Louie, and I want to say I would never say anything wrong about him." Joe called Luis a 'great guy' and 'very good' to his daughters.' He further noted that his daughters "are very fortunate to have him in their lives. I'm grateful for that. That's all I have to say. Enough with this BS."
