Fans Question Why Teresa & Luis’ Scene Was Cut From RHONJ

Fans are wondering why a heated argument between Teresa Giudice and husband Luis Ruelas – which was shown in the Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 trailer – wasn’t included in the season. It seems unlikely that the clip will reach the light of day given that the upcoming ‘reunion’ is simply a watch party of the finale, which already aired.

In the RHONJ season 14 trailer, Margaret Josephs insinuated that Luis ‘p***ed’ Teresa’s ‘money away,’ though there was little evidence in the season to back up this claim. Teresa and Luis’ mysterious argument, however, suggested that trouble was brewing in their relationship.

After the finale, fans began to wonder why a certain scene of Teresa and Luis, which was featured in the past trailer, didn’t make it into the season.

In the mysterious clip, the couple has a tense interaction in what appears to be their garden. An unidentified man is standing in between them.

“I want it to be better,” said Luis to Teresa, via @partydowntown on X.

“It’s not gonna be better,” Teresa clapped back.

“Okay, alright,” he responded, seemingly storming off.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” said Teresa.

In the comments, fans began speculating on why they were arguing.

“So everyone thinks they’re arguing about money. I thought Louie was … telling Teresa to make up [with] her brother. The way she shuts it down makes me think that,” wrote one user.

“Producers have been cutting stuff for promos and season trailers in every housewife show. They use the footage to create a narrative and a 1/3 of it is never shown accurately,” said another.

“I feel like these shows cut scenes that will help explain the narrative better. I know what the issue is here, but it would have been nice to see this scene,” wrote a different fan.

One fan, however, thinks the clip itself was edited.

“It’s such a chop job. Her mouth isn’t moving properly to be saying ‘I don’t want to talk about it’ at the end of this clip. Is it [her] lips or are my eyeballs wrong?”
