John Fuda has some major regrets about joining RHONJ and reveals that participating in the hit Bravo show has “not” been “worth” the damage to his reputation.
Rachel Fuda‘s husband, John Fuda, recently appeared on Kate Casey’s Reality Life podcast. During the interview, he admitted that joining the Real Housewives of New Jersey was “not worth it.”
“[Has the show] hindered anything in your life, socially, professionally?” Kate Casey asked on the June 13th episode of her podcast.
The RHONJ husband explained:
“Yes. There, there’s been a lot affected by some of the comments made. I’ve, I am paying, you know, reputationally, I’m paying big time. I have scenarios with, you know, my son’s friends. I don’t want to directly say my son’s friend’s parents, Hey, you know what? I heard this about him. You know, stay away from them. I’ve had that happen already.”
He continued, “I’ve had [to] sit in a meeting, and people [look] at me weird because I have learned that you could literally make up any rumor you want, throw it at the wall, and see if it sticks. I had a very important meeting yesterday for a, a very important contract, and the hardest part about the meeting was explaining how they looked me up on Google and everything that pops up.”
Kate then asked: “Do you, in the quiet of your home, have conversations like, was this worth it or not?”
“Oh, yeah. And I have no problem saying it. It just, and this at this particular time where I am in this show, this was not worth it,” the 33-year-old admitted.
Rachel and John Fuda joined the season 13 cast of the Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2022. It is unclear if they will be asked back for season 15 amid rumors of a reboot.
Since joining RHONJ, John’s past, which includes drug use and various brushes with the law, has come back to haunt him.
Per records, John Fuda was arrested in 2008 for operating a motor vehicle while in possession of a narcotic. At the time of his arrest, John was 20 years old. In an alleged attempt to hide his past, John legally transitioned from Jonathan Ross D’Atria to Jonathan D’Atria Fuda in 2016.
He has also been accused of allegedly being the “biggest drug dealer in Bergen County” in his youth
Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.
