FANS of Teresa Giudice's were thrilled when she met her boyfriend Luis Ruelas.
However, her man was the talk of the town on the opening episode of season 12 of the The Real Housewives of New Jersey - and for all the wrong reasons.
What is the Luis Ruelas video?
Teresa’s costars wasted no time talking about Louie and THAT video on the RHONJ season 12 opening episode.
As the show was filmed in the summer of 2021, it was around the time that the video resurfaced .
In the clip, businessman Louie can be seen bare chested surrounded by fellow shirtless men - whom he refers to as his “brothers.”
He is standing on the beach and appears to be addressing one of his exes - although her identity is unknown.
In the video Louis says: “I’m coming home to see you, get engaged and bring our family together and finally get married and have a life together. I’ve been here for a week."
He continued: “I love our children and I hope you receive this message well. Thank you, I love you. Thank you for your time. I hope that this hits your heart. … And I hope to come home to have the opportunity to talk to you, and share with you my experience with my life.”
What has been said about Louie's video on Real Housewives of New Jersey?
Teresa's co-stars also all had something to say on episode 1 of season 12.
Traci Johnson called the video “bizarre” and a “red flag", while Jackie Goldschneider found it “weird".
Teresa's sister-in-law Melissa Gorga said it was “crazy;” Jennifer Aydin named it “weirdo s**t".
What has Luis Ruelas said?
Luis is yet to address the video in public, and has not commented on it, or where and when the video was made.
However, on the RHONJ Teresa defended her man to her costars, and was furious when they brought it up.
"Listen, that's part of his past, so he doesn't owe anybody an explanation about anything," Teresa told Margaret.
