Pregnant Rachel Fuda is opening up about her biggest downfalls as a Housewife while starring on RHONJ.
“I’ve said that a million times, but that is my biggest downfall, as a Housewife, is that I hold myself to a higher standard than some of the women that are on our show,” Rachel Fuda told Us Weekly. “I don’t feel like I need to ruin people’s reputations and livelihoods in order to make myself successful. I wasn’t raised that way.”
As for whether or not she believes that Teresa Giudice‘s husband, Louie Ruelas, is the “downfall” of the RHONJ franchise, Rachel said, “I wasn’t here before he got here. And I think that’s an important thing to kind of realize is, like, it happened at the same time. From what I recall, his involvement in the show happened simultaneously, increased when I became a housewife. So from what people are saying, it sounds like that.”
She goes on to say that there’s only been one “common denominator [on the show] for 14 years,” which isn’t Louie. The 33-year-old RHONJ star is seemingly referring to OG Teresa Giudice.
“So, I think that he kind of poured gasoline on the fire. He just kind of mic dropped it, you know what I mean? He just put the bookend on it,” she said. “Unfortunately, I feel like Teresa does have to clean up a lot of the things that he says. I mean, I feel like her podcast solely exists to clean up Louie’s mess.”
Rachel says that every time someone sends her a clip of Teresa’s podcast, she is always “justifying his actions or something like that.”
She added, “So it does seem like there’s quite a bit of toxicity around him.”
Real Housewives of New Jersey isn’t expected to return for season 15 until late 2025 or early 2026.
