RHONJ’s Paul Connell Vs John Fuda: Whose Side Are You On?

John Fuda And Paulie Connell Make Peace After Disagreement On Season 14 of RHONJ - Exclusive!

Let’s discuss the RHONJ season 14 premiere drama between Paul Connell and John Fuda. The two got into it over John’s ongoing drama with Teresa Giudice‘s husband, Louie Ruelas. Let’s dive into the drama and find out whose side you are on.

At Jennifer Fessler‘s surprise birthday party, John Fuda and Joe Gorga questioned Paul Connell about Louie Ruelas‘ whereabouts.

Paul explained that Louie had an emergency work issue that took him out of state. The conversation then swifty shifted to the public conversation John Fuda was hoping to have with Louie at the party.

The Irish native vocalized his issue with John wanting to hash out his issues with Louie in a public setting instead in private.

“So I was talking to him and he showed me that text. You wanna meet somebody in person? A party’s not a place to talk,” Paul Connell stated.

RHONJ husbands Joe, Gorga, Frank Catania, John Fuda, Joe Benigno, Nate Cabral, and Jeff Fessler at “family dinner.”

John and Joe Gorga scoffed off Paul’s comment but that didn’t stop the 48-year-old father of two from continuing to speak his mind on the drama.

“So hold on because your problem is not his problem,” Paul said while pointing at John and Joe. “Two very different problems. And and what you went through and what happened, I think that needs to be spoken about being you and him.”

John took this as Paul taking Louie side in the situation.

“You guys got his back. You guys are flying in wing with him,” John told Paul, who replied, “I’m your friend, and I’m his friend. I’m neutral.”

However, John wasn’t buying it and told Paul: “I gotta be honest it looks like you’re on his side.”

“Listen, I’m on no one’s schedule,” the Irish native stated.

Joe then interjected: “You backed that guy up?”

“What do you mean back him up?” Paul asked before adding, “If he was wrong I wouldn’t back anybody up.”

As Paul and John continued to debate they got into each other’s faces which didn’t sit good with Dolores Catania, who swiftly jumped in to pull her man away from the heated confrontation.

“I don’t like the way everybody’s facing Paul. And I could tell by Paul’s body language, he’s losing his patience, and I don’t like the always know where the exit is. My dad taught me that. Now it’s time to leave,” Dolores declared before pulling Paul away from his argument with John.

RHONJ airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.

I really like Pauly. Can't stand Jane Feuda. Pauly's the only one of the men with integrity
675309 May 11, 2024 - 6:10 pm
Integrity? Paul is still married to his wife and mother of their two kids who filed twice for a divorce in 2020 but he wouldn't do anything. For a while now he is living with another woman and who knows what else prior to that. I think it is kind of crappy of him to stop his wife from moving on with her life by not cooperating. Paul hasn't been on long so we'll see. (These people aren't young, either. He has been separated from his wife going on 14 years.) I realize Fuda isn't likeable to some (or attractive!) but part of that is the planned smear campaign, IMO. He does live with his wife and their kids!

Team Paulie for now. I don't trust Dolo so that might change. He did stand up for himself well. The way Joe & John went up to Paulie asking, "Where's your boy?" was disrespectful to Paulie. They treated him like some street thug like them! John asking, "Can I say something...I let you talk...Paulie can I say something?" Was funny ah! No one would let John talk! ?
lalaspoilsdogs May 10, 2024 - 5:55 am
So Paulie in this one.
Copacop May 9, 2024 - 10:01 pm
Oh wow... He is so gross...
Dr. Who? May 9, 2024 - 10:07 pm
Beyond! There is a lot more out there about him and none of it is good.
Copacop May 10, 2024 - 8:56 am
Do share when you see something good... I do not think I would be ok searching for that... Lol...
Dr. Who? May 10, 2024 - 9:04 am
You need to Google Melissa's old nose on X and Krissyballs. This is a great podcast and explains a lot. It shows you just how evil Teresa and Jennifer are. It also puts this site on blast. https://youtu.be/zfVvZfewx98?si=aecrlazRFwVWFbwo

"His exes say] that he’s a narcissist – all that kind of stuff," she observed. Kim shared that she also heard "that he has interesting sexual preferences." "And he has – he’s the manager of some sex club out of Allendale, New Jersey," Kim announced. She described Luis as vindictive and as a cheater."He came on very strong with them," she said, "and then he somehow turns against them." “He was with a girl the day he met Teresa,” she reported. Kim added: “He was living with someone and he went in and he was telling the girl, ‘My gosh, I met Teresa Giudice.’" Kim even went as far as to pull out her phone to show the host some receipts. One of these was an alleged private message about Luis’ supposed ties to a sex club called Sacred Sexuality Meetup. “He’s the organizer, he’s [the manager],” Kim claimed of Luis’ role in the alleged sex club. “Yeah, I think it’s, you know, a swingers type. Yeah," she suggested. "Organizer, member since 2016," Kim insisted.

Paul for the win!!! Did you see how red D'Atia's ears and lips were. And wee little Joey gorga- what was he on?
675309 May 9, 2024 - 2:16 pm
No side to be on unless this is subtly confirming that Paul and Dolores were in on the setup against Fuda.??? After all, according to this article, "Paul explained that Louie had an emergency work issue". We know that was a blatant lie (and really lame since it was impossible) primarily because Luis couldn't be at the party or it would ruin the plan to provoke John into yelling at Teresa so she can get sympathy from her fanatics as the poor little helpless female with the mean guy yelling at her.
cammierari May 9, 2024 - 2:31 pm
Teresa has had more people yelling at her than almost anyone else on these shows. Please don’t tell me you think she is bothered by PeeWee Fuda! She can hold her own and she did. Tre haters make me laugh.
675309 May 9, 2024 - 2:45 pm
The plan was for her to be yelled at by him so some viewers will be against him and have sympathy for her. Based on some of the comments here, it worked! The plan started following the reunion. I sure as hell didn't say she is bothered by Fuda! You must not have read my comment. Now, that would be funny. He was planned to be her main storyline. She lapped it up because it was according to plan. However when you screech to a hot head with the lie, "you are the biggest drug dealer in Bergen Co." on TV, odds are there will be a reaction. What makes me laugh is all the fools who don't mind being duped by that trash.
DS484 May 9, 2024 - 11:30 pm
Delores said Tre and Jen meet before reunions. No surprise
675309 May 10, 2024 - 8:02 am
Teresa and Jennifer were also in constant contact with Melissa's Old Nose. She's the one that came clean recently and explained the involved plan to push Fuda into getting angry to give Teresa the storyline before the show aired. If anyone had to work with people who hired a PI to investigate them for nefarious purposes, they better get together and discuss how to deal with it!

PeeWee Fuda???
Italia May 9, 2024 - 5:41 pm
Team Fuda. Paul isn't even divorced. Lol. Ewey wants the screen time and Fuda wasn't biting. Paul must be too dumb to figure that out. He should really be spending his energy getting divorced.
Dr. Who? May 9, 2024 - 5:49 pm
Plus why would anyone meet with the lobster boy alone? Lobster boy is a pathological liar and a sociopath and I wouldn't trust that he would tell the truth about what transpired in said meeting.
675309 May 9, 2024 - 8:20 pm
For sure and Fuda knew that. He is just a very, very untrustworthy part year co-worker to Fuda.
Lori May 9, 2024 - 4:52 pm
Dislike the Fudas! We see more of him than his wife on the houseWIVES. Get lost…can’t stand seeing u every week!
Lisa May 9, 2024 - 4:49 pm
Love Paul… ! Team Paul all the way!
Teeje651 May 9, 2024 - 4:18 pm
Team Paulie! Enjoy that W! ??
Evil Queen May 9, 2024 - 3:53 pm
Paul is the correct answer. Paul simply tried to explain that John should have met Louie 1on1. But, as expected, Joey & John are not the brightest bulbs in the pack and had to make it dramatic.
holy cannoli May 9, 2024 - 4:30 pm
So unnecessary on their part.
Marc May 9, 2024 - 6:54 pm
LOL! Brightest bulbs!
675309 May 9, 2024 - 8:22 pm
John would have been a fool to meet him alone after what he's done. Like he said, there was no reason to anyway.
holy cannoli May 9, 2024 - 2:50 pm
I ? agree with Paul . And I think John and Joey sounded ridiculous saying. Paul is picking a side. How immature abd stupid. , come on now .
cammierari May 9, 2024 - 2:36 pm
There will never come a day when I will side with the Fudas. They’re fake AF and embarrassing. Paulie hasn’t been involved in any drama since he’s been on (except his divorce drama which he has kept totally quiet) and John has been nothing BUT drama, including his backstory. He and his wife are the perfect companions for Marge and her gossipy husband.
Marc May 9, 2024 - 9:11 pm
You are correct- Marge the rat is the one who brought out that he was still married. Good job Dolores having that as a friend.
DS484 May 9, 2024 - 11:22 pm
Delores would never bring it, this sounds like a replay.
Snarky Enigma May 9, 2024 - 2:20 pm
I never had a problem with the Joe, Frank, and Evan (uomo affascinante!) ... there's something off about this Paul guy, and it's not just his botched face.
675309 May 9, 2024 - 8:24 pm
Evan is the the most attractive man on that show based on how he acts and looks, too, IMO.
holy cannoli May 9, 2024 - 8:26 pm
I agree. He’s a class act.
HermanL22 May 10, 2024 - 9:13 am
A super good-looking man!!
675309 May 10, 2024 - 9:50 am
Yes, even if some of the others on NJ weren't so unattractive.
Shaunna May 9, 2024 - 1:26 pm
Paul Connell for sure. Fuda is very thirsty and wants to be a housewife.
NikkiJax May 9, 2024 - 12:10 pm
Paul should not have gotten involved. Especially because HE said talking about the situation at the party was inappropriate.
675309 May 9, 2024 - 8:36 pm
Fuda and Joe probably suspected or knew by then that Dolores and Paul knew what Teresa and Luis were up to and trying to figure out if Paul was going along with it or not. That is why they grilled him a bit. Then Paul doubled down, I think, because he is part of it but doesn't like it. If not, the normal reaction for Paul would be, "Yeah, I get why you didn't like knowing he had us investigated" or just ending it .
Holly May 9, 2024 - 10:57 am
Team Paul!!!! John gives me this gross feeling
Ryan May 9, 2024 - 10:45 am
I'm team Fuda and did anyone else notice how red Pauly was? he looked like he's about to have a heart attack.
675309 May 9, 2024 - 2:20 pm
It could be he was in on the plan when they went to dinner with Teresa and Luis. He was probably worried about his acting skills, or lack of.
Dr. Who? May 9, 2024 - 10:08 am
Team Fuda. Paul suffers from roid rage, just like the Lobster boy.
Snarky Enigma May 9, 2024 - 2:21 pm
I've been meaning to ask ... who is Lobster boy again?
Dr. Who? May 9, 2024 - 3:13 pm
Loooieee
Snarky Enigma May 9, 2024 - 5:31 pm
Dr. Who? May 9, 2024 - 5:38 pm
I read that he and Paul give each other steroid shots in the ass.
Snarky Enigma May 9, 2024 - 7:12 pm
Hmm ... I wonder if certain doubled headed contraptions are involved. Seems to be a NJ thing with the men ... who knew?
holy cannoli May 9, 2024 - 7:16 pm

Snarky Enigma May 9, 2024 - 7:18 pm
I resisted the urge to post an illustration ... you're welcome:-)
Marc May 9, 2024 - 9:03 pm
LOL!!
Dr. Who? May 9, 2024 - 7:17 pm
Well word on the curb is that Louie is a crossdresser and he's also into men. Kim D.. spilled the tea on him. She also said that he runs a sex club there and if you Google it his name does come up as the owner.
Marc May 9, 2024 - 9:05 pm
Only man on Jersey that dressed like a woman is wee little man Gorga. It was filmed 3 times.
675309 May 9, 2024 - 8:46 pm
Sacred Sexuality Meetup Group (Allendale, NJ) is the name. He started it. He could easily still be hanging out there.
Marc May 9, 2024 - 9:06 pm
Is that where your partner hangs out daily?!
675309 May 10, 2024 - 8:07 am
troll hungry
Dr. Who? May 10, 2024 - 8:28 am
She proves our point that because we're not pro- felon, we are trolled. SU, said everybody should feel free to comment w/o being attacked. They need to I'll follow their own advice and they also need to share their advice with the sites biggest troll, Marc. I can't believe it her age that this is what she spends her time doing. I guess when you don't have any grandchildren or people in your life that love you this is what you resort to. Oh and did you notice all those bots that popped up on this thread?
675309 May 10, 2024 - 9:54 am
Yes, typical hypocrites to justify their trolling hobby! I am glad you brought up bots because I was going to ask you if the Lori and Lisa ones that popped up at the same time were bots! So is the site producing them? Or would that be Teresa/Aydin/Luis?
Dr. Who? May 10, 2024 - 8:29 am
That's it! Guess it's not so secret anymore!

Snarky Enigma May 10, 2024 - 3:51 pm
Oh!~ I'm sensing you guys have some history.
Dr. Who? May 10, 2024 - 4:57 pm
She has trolled me since the first day I got here because I don't care for the felon. She's a trifling old hag is what she is.
holy cannoli May 9, 2024 - 7:17 pm
wtf?!?

Yup. Teresa can thank her best friend Jennifer Ayden for that info coming out.

Hahaha!
Zap It May 9, 2024 - 9:58 am
Well, Paul Connell certainly makes up for Dolores' lack of cojones. He expressed his thoughts clearly. He got heated but he can't be blamed given the Fuda thug was in his face spewing spit at him. I bet Fuda never does that again. He'll likely make peace with Paul real fast.
