Social media erupted after Gabriella Giudice, Teresa’s eldest daughter, released a shocking video showing Luis Ruelas berating her younger brother Nicholas, who is reportedly suffering from severe depression. In the clip, Luis – once praised as a “model stepfather” – is heard coldly stating, “He’s just faking it for attention,” with a tone so indifferent it left viewers stunned. It wasn’t the volume of his voice that shocked people – it was the utter lack of empathy.
But what followed was even more outrageous. According to Gabriella, Luis not only ignored Nicholas’s worsening condition, but also refused to buy his medication or take him to therapy. Instead, he reportedly chose to purchase a healing crystal to “rebalance his energy” and was later seen at a luxury lounge, splurging over $300 on a bottle of wine.
Gabriella also claims Luis told her mother that Nicholas was “manufacturing drama” and insisted that “meditation and alkaline detox” would be more effective than actual treatment.
While Nicholas struggled in silence, Luis appeared more invested in spiritual branding and Instagram-worthy wellness than in helping a child in crisis. The carefully curated image of Luis as a “healing presence” has now collapsed under public scrutiny.
From “ideal stepdad” to “emotionally unavailable wellness guru,” Luis is facing massive backlash. The real question isn’t whether Luis cares – it’s whether Teresa has fallen for a man who only knows how to heal his ego and polish his online persona. As fans await a statement from Teresa, Gabriella is being hailed for her bravery – and for saying what many were too afraid to admit: Nicholas needs protection, not another lecture on moonstone energy.
