RHONJ Teresa Giudice’s relationship feud over the years has made them concerned about her. Teresa‘s feud with Joe and Melissa Gorga has been a major storyline on Real Housewives of New Jersey. However, Teresa’s partner Luis has added more flames to the feud this season. Also, his behavior has been suspicious and caused fans to worry about Teresa. Nonetheless, recent developments have pointed at a more fractured relationship than most fans expected.
Teresa’s RHONJ Relationship Dilemma
Teresa Giudice was one of the original cast members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey when it debuted on Bravo in 2009 and quickly established herself as one of the fan favorites on the show. However, trouble began for Teresa when her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga joined the show during its third season. Although Melissa was new on the show, some signs pointed to a problematic relationship between herself and Teresa from the first episode of RHONJ season 3. At his son’s christening, Joe Gorga, Melissa’s husband, and Teresa’s brother, unleashed his anger, calling his sister “garbage.”.
That incident set the stage for what has become one of the messiest family feuds in the history of the Real Housewives franchise. The feud has forced Teresa off the rail, as she has always been on the offensive. Teresa’s actions, accusing Melissa of infidelity and being a gold digger, aim to make life unbearable for Melissa and Joe.
Things quieted between Teresa and Melissa after returning from a short prison spell for fraud-related offenses. Teresa’s new partner worsened the feud, isolating her from her brother and fueling the ongoing conflict. In a recent episode of RHONJ season 13, fans watched in disgust as Luis said many unflattering things about Joe, including calling him an “animal” and “trash” during a conversation with Teresa. Most of the show’s fans feel Luis is terrible news and have since been voicing concern for Teresa.
RHONJ Fans Feel Luis Is Isolating Teresa
Amidst the ongoing feud between Teresa and Melissa, PageSix recently confirmed that The Real Housewives of New Jersey had been put “on pause” as the relationship between the warring parties has now completely broken down. Fans feared that Teresa and Melissa were nearing that point in their drawn-out feud when it was revealed that the latter and her husband decided to skip Teresa and Luis’ wedding last year. No one expected production would halt due to the inability of the two to be in the same place.
Sources confirmed to PageSix that production for season 14 of RHONJ was supposed to commence in June, but that has been on hold as Bravo is trying to figure out how to proceed given the current situation. Many of the show’s fans felt saddened by the news. Fans thought Luis exploited Melissa and Teresa’s strained relationship to create a divide between his wife and her brother. Teresa’s sorry predicament becomes even more pronounced when you consider that Joe is the closest family member the 50-year-old has besides her four children. Unfortunately, that relationship has suffered one too many blows.
Many of the show’s fans believe Luis has always wanted to isolate Teresa from her family. On a recent Reddit thread, some RHONJ fans even went as far as suggesting that Luis must have been the one that pushed Teresa to tell producers that she won’t be on the show if Melissa was on the show. There is widespread concern about Teresa’s fate if Luis successfully isolates her from her close relationships.
RHONJ Fans Feel Luis Is Dangerous
Many of the show’s viewers have a genuine distrust of Luis. They feel he has shown enough red flags that confirm he is capable of causing actual harm to Teresa. And these fears have been given real impetus by his ex’s allegations of domestic abuse against Luis. According to a police report, Luis allegedly rammed his ex-wife Marisa DiMartino into a metal pole during a heated argument in 2012. Marisa filed the report a day after the incident occurred. However, she opted not to press charges against her then-husband, so no arrest occurred.
Meanwhile, Luis also proved his propensity for violence when he threatened to “bury” Joe and Melissa. The duo didn’t show up at his wedding with Teresa, leaving the mother of four in tears. Luis’ threats shocked fans which made them convinced he was a hazardous person. Most RHONJ fans have expressed concern for the safety of Teresa and her girls. They believe that more than one of his exes has accused him of abuse, proving there’s something cynical about him. For now, fans can only hope their fears never become a reality.
