PUERTO RICO, CARIBBEAN ISLAND: Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga clashed during the first segment of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' reunion over rumors about Louie Ruelas' former relationship with 'The Real Housewives of Miami' actress Alexia Nepola. However, Alexia's recent post, which came shortly after the episode aired, caused a meme frenzy among 'RHONJ' followers, who saw it as a damage control post for the folks involved.
Teresa and her sister-in-law Melissa were at the center of the conflict during the reunion that aired on May 30. The two got into a furious dispute over the specifics of Teresa's marriage to Luis 'Louie' Ruelas. Melissa said that Luis had known another 'Real Housewives' cast member before meeting Teresa in 2020. It should be emphasized that neither Alexia nor Luis acknowledged the rumors.
'Fun times and tan lines'
Teresa and Melissa's long-standing quarrel was revived by unexpected news after they had been apart for several months. Melissa said that Luis knew who Teresa was when he met her, and that Luis had known Alexia as well. This revelation startled and interested people regarding the apparent relationship between Luis and Alexia.
During the reunion, host Andy Cohen inquired about Luis' supposed relationship with 'RHOM' actress Alexia. Andy asked Luis if he wanted to date Alexia from 'RHOM'. Margaret Josephs, another 'RHONJ' cast member, verified that Luis wanted to date Alexia. Melissa then weighed in, adding that it was before he met Teresa. Teresa responded by calling her sister-in-law a liar.
It's important mentioning that Teresa and Alexia, the reality TV stars, maintain a close connection despite the rumors. In an interview with E! News at BravoCon 2022, Alexia said that Teresa played a key impact in her choice to join the cast of 'RHOM'. However, an Instagram post by Alexia showcasing the two pals shortly after the episode aired led people to assume differently. In the post, Teresa and Alexia can be seen posing for the camera, all smiles, and later joined by their respective partners, Luis, and Todd Nepola. Judging by the caption, "Fun times & tan lines… en la isla del encanto 🇵🇷," and the hashtags, it looks like the Real Housewives buddy spent the Memorial Day weekend together in Puerto Rico.
'This is wired after last night's accusations'
As soon as the post hit the Internet, Bravo world rushed to the comment section to roast the 'RHONJ' couple. One user commented, "This is wired after last night's accusations!!!!! Plan B." Another warned the 'RHOM' star writing, "Noooo alexia get away from louis!" While one fan made their feelings very clear with just red flag emojis. A fourth user called Alexia, "Louie’s almost girlfriend." Another quick jab at the actresses read, "Birds of a feather." One comment addressed to Alexia read, "Ha. He wanted you first." Another chimed in, "Louis #1 and Louie’s plan B." "Louie’s first option," wrote another.
The three-part 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 13 reunion kicked off with Part 1 on May 30. Part 2 airs Tuesday, June 6, and Part 3 airs Tuesday.
