Luis Ruelas is being accused of making “intimidating” statements to a Bravo fan page — and of shading Margaret Josephs as a “pig” in the process.
After seemingly making threats to some of his Real Housewives of New Jersey castmates during the recently-concluded reunion, a series of leaked DMs have shown that Luis allegedly attempted to get information about Margaret and slammed her as a “pig.”
“You better off doing good out there in the world… try it you may feel better while wearing those sunglasses you bought with the bribe money you got from that PIG,” Luis wrote in his first message, as seen in screenshots shared from Thea de Sousa (@yourmomsarewatching on Instagram) by Bravo Babe on Twitter.
Then, in two more messages sent to Thea on the same day, Luis encouraged the woman to “be a good person” and insisted that anything that suggests he and wife Teresa Giudice aren’t good people is false.
“Just be a good person because are good people. Everything else is manufactured,” he stated in one.
And in another, he seemed to be getting more upset with the woman, questioning her about why she put something negative out about him and Teresa.
“Why did you put that out there about Teresa and I? Between you and me and the four walls, did Margaret ask you to do it?” he asked. “The way you explained this and came at us is something Marge would do. Did she put you up to it in anyway? Please be honest, I have a life and busy, I just want to know for myself.”
After receiving the messages in her DMs, Thea shared an additional post, explaining why the messages came about.
“Sorry I didn’t post much today. I have been laying low because I’m a little freaked out. I got this DM last night from Louis … He is referring to the fact that Marge once sent me a gift card to thank me for helping her. I bought sunglasses with it. It wasn’t a bribe it was a thank you. I have posted about her gift. I’m not hiding it,” she revealed. “I have never heard from Louis before yesterday. I felt like this was strange and intimidating. I’m sharing because I feel like it protects me if you all know.”
And for those wondering where Luis’ blue checkmark is in the screenshots, and questioning if the screenshots could be fake, a Twitter user has shared why the verification logo may not have been present.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 has reportedly been put on “pause” as casting decisions are made.
