Louie Ruelas Slams ‘Animal’ Joe Gorga; Says He’s ‘F–king Trash’ in Rant on RHONJ

Joe Gorga and Louie Ruelas argue on RHONJ

Louie Ruelas has had enough of Joe Gorga‘s BS, and he made that abundantly clear on this week’s episode of RHONJ.

On Tuesday’s episode of RHONJ, Louie made it clear that he is no longer interested in trying to play nice with his now-wife’s brother.

“[Do] you know what it’s like for me to be calm in the last three months around an animal like that?” Louie asked his now-wife, then-fianceé, Teresa Giudice.

Louie added that he works hard to stay calm around Joe because he’s “not gonna lower myself to f–king trash that does that.”

In her confessional interview, Teresa admitted that she feels horrible for Louie.

Teresa said:

“Poor guy. He’s been taking it and taking it, and I feel horrible because it’s my family, like I’m embarrassed. I’m embarrassed. I’ve never heard Luis talk like this before, but I don’t blame him at all. If the tables were turned, I would be so upset if his sisters were treating me this way.”

The RHONJ OG agreed with Louie, saying that she’s “always wanted” a relationship with her brother, but she’s “done” and is “tired of getting hurt.”

Louie then claimed that Joe is doing all of this on purpose because he and Teresa are getting married, and the focus is on them, not him and his wife, Melissa Gorga.

“We’re getting married, and after that, I’m not gonna allow anyone to do anything like this to you anymore. It’s happening right now on purpose because we’re getting married, and it’s bulls–t; it’s such a shame I feel so bad for you guys,” Louie said before noting that he took major issue with Joe and Melissa telling Teresa that she’s “miserable.”

The New Jersey businessman quipped:

“Meanwhile, you see her [Giudice’s] happiness, you see her vulnerability, you see her living her best life right now, and you’re going to say you look miserable?”

According to Louie, Joe would rather see Teresa “broken down” than thriving. He claims that Joe is “projecting his own bulls–t on you,” while also “manipulating” and “gaslighting” Teresa.

“Your brother is devilishly calculated by everything he does that he’s actually thinking about how to hurt you. It’s disgusting,” he continued, adding that he’s “pulling” Teresa out of the Gorgas’ “snake pit.”

In conclusion, Louie believes Joe is “threatened” by him despite his attempts to give Joe the respect he deserved as the patriarch of the Gorga family.

He said: “I’ve shown your brother nothing but sincerity, love. I handed over to him verbally saying, ‘You are the patriarch of this family — not me.’”

“I can’t stand to be around that anymore,” Louie continued. “I don’t even want your brother coming to our wedding because I don’t want that energy around a beautiful environment.”

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm on Bravo.

Thoughts on this all? Sound off below!

 The specific details about the feud between Louie Ruelas and Joe Gorga are not available at the moment. However, it seems that there is an ongoing conflict between the two individuals that led to Louie’s strong comments.

Louie Ruelas expressed his frustration with Joe Gorga due to his alleged disruptive and dramatic actions. The exact incident that triggered this criticism is yet to be revealed.

Meh. I think Luis has every right to be mad. And that makes Tre unhappy so she cries. Melissa has said she doesn't want to go, doesn't care to be in the wedding party, and yet turns getting what she wants into a slight. Tre sent her all the info in her invitation, so she knew about every event connected with the wedding, knew she was invited to all of them, ignored them all, no rsvp, but blames Teresa...? Joey wants the wedding to be all about him, and Melissa doesn't even want to acknowledge there will BE a wedding. Clearly Joe doesn't like Louie but he is having trouble convincing me why. Joe didn't like Juicy either-and Tre didn't like Melissa. Louie walked into one crazy situation and it's about time the frustration got to him.
Que Sera May 11, 2023 - 2:47 pm
He is mad because the wife to be is frustrated with 2 members of her family and so he goes into a rant, almost rage toward mainly her brother, on and on and on. What he did wasn't warranted in any circumstances, let alone under these circumstances even in private which happens to be filmed. Whether he amped it up and was overly emotional and dramatic for the camera or if it is normal for him, it was still too much even for Teresa obviously.
cammierari May 11, 2023 - 4:54 pm
You say obviously but it's not obvious to me. She's emotional and she feels for Luis. She has said she is over her brother and sister in law, and this is part of the reason why. Constant upset and frustration. His rant was a pretty normal reaction in my big Italian family. Emotions run high and voices get loud. Some people get red. It's not personal-until you start calling your family garbage and scum on tv...but I digress.
Que Sera May 13, 2023 - 8:10 am
Obviously because she tried to get him to stop once but he couldn't and kept thinking of more words to call him. Then she clammed up and looked a little worried. She knows when he is embarrassing. He was trashing her brother when she mainly trashes Melissa but never to that extent. It was too much because she knew he'd be criticized by viewers, etc, about behaving that way. He looked like a raving maniac that wouldn't stop. He did call Joe worse than garbage and scum. If you are talking about when Joe said that toward Teresa, it was around 11 years ago or maybe 14 or both. He has been unusually sensible this season.
TheBeverlyHillsHaveEyes May 11, 2023 - 6:04 am
So after snubbing them at the engagement party by seating them elsewhere, not including Melissa or her daughter in the bridal party and not inviting Donna Marco they expect the Gorgas to be happy with the few crumbs they want to throw them??? Funny how tradition only matters when it comes to the Gorgas but not when it comes to Teresa huh?
September24 May 10, 2023 - 2:23 pm
He is an animal. All caught on film since his debut. Every year he physically assaults. He is the definition of toxic.
Que Sera May 11, 2023 - 7:34 am
Luis does want to fight Joe it seems. Three different times during his second rant to Teresa, he indicated it might happen. He has too much rage directed at one person simply because he and his sister like to argue about who slighted who. Maybe he forgot his meds that day.
September24 May 10, 2023 - 6:03 pm
Fredo is far worse than Luis getting mad about the game playing and stunts the hag marco clan are pulling.
Que Sera May 10, 2023 - 12:02 pm
Luis couldn't just bad mouth Joe a few times in this episode. He went into an angry rant (especially the second time). I counted 21 times he slammed Joe in a very intense, almost rage. Plus he said "you're not gonna recognize me" and that he is "ready to react" when he deals with Joe. He called him "insecure" and then went to "animal", "trash", "projecting bullshit", "rat", "boring", "gaslighting", "manipulating", and so on. The issue is not only was it an angry rant but how many times he did it. Seeing him in the rage mode was alarming, and this isn't the first time. I think he is full of rage and directs it toward Joe. He also claims the 5 females as his and Joe is the male threat in his distorted brain. So who is the "toxic" one in your past "toxic relationships", Luis?
TheBeverlyHillsHaveEyes May 11, 2023 - 6:08 am
A couple of weeks before this scene Luis was agreeing with people that Teresa should have invited Donna Marco, he knows it was Teresa who didn't want Melissa in her bridal party too. Now all of a sudden he's claiming the Gorgas are the problem? He came in this season calling Melissa insecure - is that him projecting?? Or does he think only other people are capable of that?
Que Sera May 11, 2023 - 7:46 am
He does a lot of projecting. He even said Joe projects and also is manipulative! This coming from a guy who is actively correcting and telling his wife how to act, what to say, what to do and what not to do on TV. He told her to call Joe once and wrote on a piece of paper what to say! Melissa said Luis is conflicted between who he thinks he should be and who he really is.
TheBeverlyHillsHaveEyes May 11, 2023 - 12:28 pm
Right? He's a huge projector. I find it very interesting that in all his anger at Joey he isn't saying anything about the alleged loss of 250k re the pizza oven deal. It's not like they're keeping it secret because Teresa already aired it on camera and even then Luis stayed quiet. Weird that he isn't saying a word about that. He's making it all about Teresa.
Que Sera May 11, 2023 - 3:08 pm
Right! I noticed that too and also what makes it more sicko. He has no problem with Joe. Joe had nothing to do with him losing money. It was about his greedy, selfish impulsiveness that caused him to lose money but it shouldn't be all of it unless they are counting other stuff and he LIED to Teresa. He has tried the tactic to help Teresa and her brother make up at the expense of treating Teresa like a child with no social skills. Now he is going overboard trying to make her hate him and despise him. That guy is dealing with or not dealing with many mental disorders. Bravo exploited Teresa's dumbness, selfishness, materialism, delusions, vainness and treachery all these years and now they have her mentally ill husband to exploit.
TheBeverlyHillsHaveEyes May 11, 2023 - 3:41 pm
That's what I'm wondering - if he told Teresa he lost 250k but it was only that 105k he paid for the first shipment of ovens. It would certainly explain why he didn't say anything when she told the group. IMO he's also a coward because he does a lot of ranting about Joe and Melissa behind their backs but to their faces he's telling them "I wanna put this all behind us and move on". If Bravo keep Teresa after this season it's because they want to see the implosion of her relationship with Luis.
Que Sera May 11, 2023 - 3:55 pm
That will be the only reason to keep him. I think it may be the reason they might give them a spinoff. That way she is gone from NJ and they can see if they can salvage NJ instead of having to can it completely like NY. Luis got into this wanting a spinoff, I would bet money. If he is just a house husband on NJ and that is the only income then will he be satisfied or will he start fighting with Teresa sooner than he would if he got a spinoff? He is so all over the place. Did you see him on WWHL Feb. 14? He wasn't acting and he was really weird. He appeared drugged with a sedative to me so I wonder if he is on strong medications to treat mental illness. Either that or he is really stupid or sleep deprived or something. He doesn't belong on a reality show that is supposed to entertain or at least I thought it was.
CsqD May 10, 2023 - 1:28 pm
IMO, Luis is kinda extreme in vocalizing his feelings about Joe but his feelings are validated. At least he didn't point to his heart, while holding back fake tears, and say something corny like, "This heart here...HURTS!!!" ?
Que Sera May 10, 2023 - 4:08 pm
So it is drama queen Louis vs. drama queen Joey? Ha! Maybe so and they are acting. Teresa and Joe share approx half their genes and it is obvious because they are volatile at times. Luis is a whole different animal because he comes across volatile but he is devious and extremely controlling. He and Teresa are a good match. Another toxic relationship in the making.
September24 May 10, 2023 - 11:36 am
It's Luis' wedding too. His family and friends are very happy for him. Tre and her daughters and friends are very happy for her. So I don't blame Luis for being upset. He has every right to be. He's living it.
Que Sera May 10, 2023 - 12:13 pm
This is an example of defending the indefensible, IMO. Even the writer referred to it as a "rant". He gives a lot of power to basically one person to cause him to go into an intense rant on TV and this isn't the first time. He went on and on and on. If a normal person were upset, he'd just say Joe is a jerk and I hope they don't come. Period. He did say he doesn't want them to come. Most of what he went on and on about is what he is guilty of. He is full of rage and is directing it at Joe. Either that or he is an overly dramatic person pretending to be mentally ill.
September24 May 10, 2023 - 1:20 pm
I disagree. He is happy to be getting married and so is his family. He had every right to be mad. I don't blame him for his rant. His fiance is upset and he agrees with her reasons. Everyone is emotional before a wedding. I get it. There is only so much you can take.
Que Sera May 10, 2023 - 4:02 pm
His family is happy because they are hoping this time it isn't a "toxic relationship" like the others. Ha. They were scheduled to be part of an early 2020 wedding and then he found someone on TV and had a wedding in 2022 instead.
September24 May 10, 2023 - 4:08 pm
Uh-oh. I can only hope his love for Tre is real. Not like Kroy and Kim Z. LOL!
Que Sera May 10, 2023 - 4:17 pm
I think he tries to convince himself but unless she is willing to put up with him constantly humiliating her by trying to correct her and train her publicly and then going into a rage against her brother about nothing in particular, she probably will be miserable. I wonder if he will be satisfied being a house husband if they don't get a spin off. That is when I think the rage might be directed at her. Then they blame each other when things don't go as planned. Possibly and IMO, of course. I don't know about Kroy and Kim Z. That is good. Ha.

Ms Marco: I like that Nene doesn't use the show for product placement. https://www.allabouttrh.com/2014/01/13/rhonjs-melissa-gorga-praises-nene-leakes-with-awkward-compliment/ Also Ms Marco: Teresa, why aren't you helping promote my products... So yes, Luis nailed these hags! They are the miserable ones and don't care if Tre is hurt or collateral damage. How did this wedding become all about hags....

Luis has the hag marco clan nailed!! Team Luis!!

Juicy calling Luis giving him a heads up...LOLOLOLOL!!
Squirrel 1970 May 10, 2023 - 7:51 pm
More like Juicy stirring the pot!!! I think Juicy would love to cause issues with the Gorga’s, Tre & Luis. I don’t think juicy is as good with Tre moving on like he says. . There was no reason for Juicy to be calling the Luis. Why would Luis need Tre’s ex husband who she claims is the sole reason she went prison to call Luis to tell him anything. Juicy is the ex husband for a reason.
holy cannoli May 10, 2023 - 10:06 am
Louie ( in my opinion) sounded ridiculous.
Ginger Snap May 10, 2023 - 11:51 am
Tre looked uncomfortable and a bit scared.
holy cannoli May 10, 2023 - 1:19 pm
I agree she did. She was in tears. I felt bad for her. He wouldn’t stop .
Que Sera May 10, 2023 - 3:58 pm
Deep inside, it bothered her that he was so vehemently trashing HER little brother. It certainly bothered her how long he kept it going and she did try to shut him down but he couldn't stop. Melissa is her target and even when mad at Joe for whatever she thinks he did, she blames Melissa for not controlling him like a "good wife". Just like she was eliminated from being in the wedding in the first place (supposedly) was because she didn't control Marge and keep her from asking Luis valid questions. She made a point of blaming Melissa this episode for whatever it is that is so bad about Joe.
Ginger Snap May 10, 2023 - 5:20 pm
I agree. Tre still wants Joey to take her side instead of his wife. Might be the same with Bougie Danielle.
Ginger Snap May 10, 2023 - 5:18 pm
I also noticed with Tre in tears, Luis just walked away. It’s all about him. He scares me.

He went too far. It was way too much !
Kim H May 10, 2023 - 3:02 pm
I believe Louie is controlling. Someone who is controlling always tries to separate the person from their family. Louie is the nut job! He sounds ridiculous every time he opens his mouth, always trying to say the "right thing" in front of the cameras. He's so fake!!!! He and Tre deserve each other.
TheBeverlyHillsHaveEyes May 11, 2023 - 6:05 am
Big change in his attitude towards the Gorgas from last season when he was love bombing them all. Now he has Teresa where he wants her he is clearly cutting them out and has no need for them. Nothing they have done warrants his reaction.
