During the season 14 premiere of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Teresa Giudice accused Rachel Fuda’s husband, John Fuda, of being the “biggest drug dealer in Bergen County,” a claim that led to a heated confrontation at Jennifer Fessler’s 55th birthday party. John Fuda refuted the allegations, mentioning a past arrest at age 21 for which he was never convicted, and tensions escalated further with accusations of Teresa talking to John’s ex and hiring a private investigator to look into his life.
Teresa Giudice accused John Fuda, husband of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Rachel Fuda, of being the “biggest drug dealer in Bergen County” during the show’s season 14 premiere, sparking confrontations and discussions about past allegations and the dynamics between their families.
Teresa Giudice, oh, she’s stirring the pot again. This time, she’s got her sights set on Rachel Fuda’s hubby, John Fuda, on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” And boy, did she drop a bombshell during the season 14 premiere. It was a Sunday, May 5th episode that’s got everyone talking.
“You know what your husband said to my husband? ‘I have tremendous respect for your wife, because we both went to jail.’ He was the biggest drug dealer in Bergen County,” Teresa spilled the tea to Rachel, 33. She added, “Don’t come for my husband because I will come for your husband.” Drama? Check. Accusations? Double-check.
The whole shebang unfolded at Jennifer Fessler’s 55th birthday bash. Teresa decided it was the perfect moment to confront Rachel about John, who had been chatting about Luis “Louie” Ruelas. Louie wasn’t there, tied up with a business meeting in sunny Florida.
“Why would you entertain a f—king loser like that?” That’s what John asked Rachel after she relayed Teresa’s accusations. Next thing you know, Rachel’s calling Teresa over for a face-to-face showdown with John. Can you even imagine the tension?
Oh, and if you’re itching for more “RHONJ” gossip, there’s a link floating around about where the former stars have ended up. But back to the drama at hand.
“I’m a drug dealer? Who told you that?” John was baffled. Teresa pointed fingers at John’s ex before kinda, sorta backtracking, saying it was all over social media. Classic Teresa move, right?
John had already cleared the air about these rumors back in July 2023. He got nabbed in 2008 for having drugs in his car but was never convicted. Charges? Dismissed. “You don’t know s—t. Don’t go down this route. Stop trying to hit me,” John snapped at Teresa, calling her “full of s—t” as he stormed off. And then, the cherry on top, “Has-been. F—king has-been.”
Turns out, John’s beef with Teresa and Louie goes way back to the RHONJ season 13 reunion. He accused them of hiring a PI to dig into his past and claimed Teresa was chatting up his ex. The plot thickens, doesn’t it?
Meanwhile, at Jennifer’s party, John was venting to the other RHONJ men about his issues with Louie before his clash with Teresa. Louie had reached out for a one-on-one, which John declined. “Why would I give a man who disrespected my family the respect to meet him somewhere?” he pondered aloud, aiming the question at Dolores Catania’s boyfriend, Paul “Paulie” Connell.
And there you have it, folks. “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Grab your popcorn because this season looks like it’s going to be a wild ride.
