Rachel Fuda, a cast member on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, has been feuding with Teresa Giudice, sparked by an investigation into Fuda’s past by Luis Ruelas, Giudice’s husband. The issue began when Fuda’s husband, John Fuda, and Ruelas got into an argument during the reunion for Season 13. Ruelas hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on the rest of the cast, including Fuda’s past relationship and his ex and their shared son. The Fudas took offense to this, and the incident has set Fuda on a path against Giudice in Season 14.
Fuda attributes her issues with Giudice to their friendship with Melissa Gorga, whom Fuda believes is a “bad apple.” Fuda stated in an interview that she thinks Giudice is not a good influence and wouldn’t be sad to see her leave the show. She also believes that the cast needs changes moving forward into Season 15.
However, Fuda’s issues with Giudice are not the only challenge she faces on the show. She also had a falling out with her former friend, Jen Fessler. In an interview, Fuda expressed her difficulty in dealing with the end of their friendship, stating it’s “really hard” to accept that friendships change and go through different storms. The two’s friendship was a significant part of the show’s trailer for Season 14, with Fuda mourning the loss of their bond.
