LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During a recent episode of 'House of Villains', 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa Giudice got into a heated confrontation with Tiffany 'New York' Pollard, who claimed that each rose represented a time Teresa's husband, Luis Ruelas, had allegedly cheated, a low blow that left Teresa visibly furious. It was later revealed that Pollard's comments were baseless, but they served as a reminder of the constant scrutiny Teresa and Luis have faced since they began their relationship. The two first met in 2020, just a few months after Teresa divorced her long-time husband, Joe Giudice. Teresa and Luis crossed paths at the Jersey Shore, and they instantly hit it off. Luis was charming and successful and didn't take long to capture Teresa's heart. Before long, they were married in a beautiful ceremony in New Jersey, surrounded by family, friends, and many of Teresa's fellow 'RHONJ' cast members.

From the very beginning, the relationship between Teresa and Luis was put under a microscope. While Teresa seemed over the moon to have found love once again, close family and friends were concerned regarding Luis's background. Whispers about Luis's past relationships began to surface, with some of his exes reportedly speaking out to raise red flags about his behavior. He was described as controlling, even claiming he had a pattern of jealousy in his relationships. However, Teresa sided with her new husband, defending him publicly.

However, despite her dedication, it seemed the accusations against Luis only grew louder. A video surfaced on social media showing him at a retreat, where he dramatically promised and apologized to several men present, addressing issues related to his past relationships. Soon fans began questioning whether he was right for Teresa. One of the biggest scandals erupted when Teresa's brother, Joe Gorga, expressed his distrust toward Luis. Protective of Teresa, Joe was deeply concerned with Luis's intentions and the effect he had on their family, which created a huge rift in their family. The recent 'House of Villains' drama sparked by Pollard's accusation of Luis' infidelity reignited scrutiny that has plagued them throughout their marriage. However, with the growing friction in their marriage and the constant public scrutiny, a question arises: Can their relationship withstand the intensified pressures and suspicions?

'RHONJ’ star Teresa Giudice admits she’s ‘done’ defending Luis Ruelas

In a recent interview, 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa Giudice said that she's "done defending" her husband, Luis Ruelas, against rumors and criticism. "I'm done defending this season," she said. "I come out with facts-black and white facts that I can't wait for everyone to see. And it's going to be very eye-opening," she added.

Teresa mentioned that life in the public eye has been challenging for Luis, but he has learned to cope with the stress over time. She said, "My poor husband… He didn't understand reality TV, but now he is unfortunately adjusted to it."

She accused him of being emotionally abusive during their relationship. During an interview on 'The Gaslight Effect' podcast, Reiser explained in detail how Ruelas would "manipulate, love-bomb, gaslight, and isolate," her—behaviors she described as signs of emotional abuse.
