The ongoing feud between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga is not the only one.
Yes, he has dragged his friends into spats. But the husband himself played a lot closer role in all this.
Luis Ruelas and Joe Gorga recently had a private conversation about broken family dynamics.
The conversation is no longer personal. The text is now very common, and no one holds back.
Blogger All about Tea obtained images of alleged text messages between Luis Ruelas and Joe Gorga.
(Interestingly, the image will indicate that it is “sender,” and thus source from the text leak, it’s Luis)
The context here is that Melissa Gorga recently suggested that the only reason Luis invited her and Joe to Teresa’s birthday (her 50th!) was because filming was coming up.
“Hi Joe, I hope everything is going well,” the text message, which appeared to be from Luis, began. “I’ve been trying to get you to talk to you about Teresa’s 50th birthday.”
He continued: “They made a list of people they wanted.”
Luis then assured, “There is no cost to anyone, everything is paid for.”
“This has nothing to do with the show,” Luis wrote.
“This is a private event for your sister,” he continued, “and the people she wants to see on her day.”
Luis said, “I hope you receive this message with love from me to you and Melissa. I hope you can do it.
“We appreciate the offer,” Joe Gorga seemed to reply. “My brother is very clear where we stand with him.”
She wrote: “Confused why they want to spend so many days together for a special birthday.”
Joe continued: “She just said she wasn’t close and that’s why she didn’t want him?”
“Listen. I’m fine with everything,” Joe later appeared to write.
He assured Luis: “Don’t feel the pressure to extend the invitation, I know it’s coming from a fake place.”
The message then added: “No worries bro, I’m sure you watched the reunion. Enjoy your vacation.”
“What is false is to think that this family is closer through a TV show,” Luis said repeating the leaked text.
“I am passing this on to you,” he said, “because this is what my sister wanted.”
“And,” Luis continues, this is “an opportunity for you to be away from the cameras and the public eye.”
“That TV show [a] an aggressive place full of light-hearted bull – not a forum for families to recover,” Luis wrote.
“It’s not fake,” he said. “This is not strategic.”
According to Luis, “this comes from me who has been in your sister’s life for almost two years.”
“I tried Joe & Melissa,” Luis apparently told her. “No one is perfect including you two.”
At this point, Joe allegedly wrote back, noting that Luis might not know because he’s “only been here two years.”
Joe notes that, in contrast, the family has had “a proper conversation for the last 15.”
According to Luis, Teresa is currently working on herself. He thinks people have a habit of “putting things aside that need to be addressed.”
He added: “Everyone has a role in this death and not just Teresa.” Well, that’s right.
“You should watch the TV show,” Luis advises, “and see how it turns out.”
“TV [show] it’s been the worst thing for both of your families,” Luis said.
According to him, “it has caused all the trouble between you and Teresa.”
Joe acknowledged that Luis had made some “good points”.
However, he added, “My sister should think about this before lighting this fire.”
Joe then suggested: “Let’s not go back and [forth]. I promise you will waste your time.
He asked: “Don’t return SMS. We are good. Leave. Love you.”
