Teresa Giudice should have expected Rachel Fuda to come to her husband’s defense after the mother-of-four called him the “biggest drug dealer in Bergen County.” Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 has just begun, and Teresa has a new target.
John Fuda fought hard against Teresa’s husband during the Season 13 reunion after Luis Ruelas claimed to have had the RHONJ cast investigated by a private eye. Perhaps that’s why Teresa came for him early on in the season.
In last week’s episode, Teresa repeated gossip about John’s alleged sexual preferences. She also weaponized the RHONJ newbie’s prior arrest from decades ago. Rachel responded to her co-star in a recent interview and didn’t hold back.
Rachel thinks she was Teresa’s “last resort”
Rachel told Us Weekly that she thinks Teresa’s combativeness is to “solidify her relevancy and paycheck.”
“Who else does she have? Melissa’s off. Margaret’s off. She’s not going to fight with Dolores. Jen’s so far up her butt, she can’t even see her eyeballs. And then, who else do we have?” she stated.
“I was the last resort,” Rachel concluded.
As for the “drug dealer” comments, the mother-of-three called it “such a joke.”
“We’ve all made mistakes as kids,” Rachel stated. “We’ve all done things that someone would say is ‘bad’ or try to weaponize.”
Ultimately, that story was for John to share and present how he saw fit. But Teresa hijacked the information and used it to her advantage.
Rachel added, “John is not ashamed of anything that he has done or has been through. It’s just unfortunate that that opportunity for him to tell and share his own story was completely taken from him and manipulated into something that it’s not and weaponized against him.”
Dynamics have indeed shifted within the group. Melissa Gorga is not filming with Teresa, but Jennifer Fessler has shifted alliances to befriend the Turning The Tables author.
