Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas appear to be facing marriage issues in a just-released sneak peek at the upcoming 14th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
As a number of friendships change, and several relationships seem to face hardships, including those of Margaret Josephs, 56, and Joe Benigno, and Dolores Catania, 53, and Paul “Paulie” Connell, both Danielle Cabral, 38, and Jennifer Aydin, 46, express concern about Teresa, 51, as they also go head-to-head at a party — likely the one where they were allegedly involved in a physical altercation with one another.
“You’re the poster child for mortgage fraud,” John Fuda tells Teresa as he and his wife, Rachel Fuda, 32, exit a group gathering, seemingly later adding, “When I need money laundered, I’ll call ya!”
“That was my husband, thank you very much,” Teresa fires back as Luis smiles behind her.
Elsewhere, Danielle tells Melissa Gorga, 44, “Teresa is distraught because in the house, there’s not a lot of calm.” Aydin also says, “Every time I talk to her, her stomach is in knots.”
Teresa is then seen crying as Dolores tells someone, “She’s not doing great.”
Margaret also appears to get in on the action, telling Joe B., “Luis pissed her money away.”
Even the couple hints at marriage problems as they’re seen chatting at their $3.3 million home.
“I wanted to be better,” Luis insists.
“It’s not gonna be better. I don’t want to talk about,” Teresa claps back.
Another relationship that seems to be under duress is that of Dolores and Paulie.
“So what’s up with Paulie and Dolores?” Joe Gorga asks.
“He’s still married,” John replies.
“He won’t get divorced?” Joe wonders.
In another scene, after Dolores admits she has “a right to know [her] future,” she and Paulie embark on a tense dinner date.
“Do you think if I get divorced, I’m just gonna get down on one knee and engaged to you the next day?” Paulie asks.
“I’m gonna have to rethink this,” Dolores replies.
Even Margaret and Joe may be having issues in their marriage.
“Margaret, how are you and Joe doing?” Melissa asks as Joe G. is seen informing Joe B. that their marriage “was better when Jan was alive.”
Speaking to Margaret herself, Jennifer Fessler, 53, asks, “Are you, like, reflecting on leaving him?”
As Aydin bonds with Fessler, Fessler is also seen hugging Teresa — and Margaret isn’t happy about it.
“That’s who you want to associate yourself with?” Margaret asks Fessler at Dolores’ charity softball game.
“Yes,” Fessler replies.
Then, as Rachel admits she feels like she’s “mourning what [her] friendship [with Fessler] used to be,” Fessler shuts her down, saying, “I don’t understand what you’re so upset about, Rach.”
Jackie Goldschneider, 47, is also switching friends as she grows closer to Teresa, and Margaret dubs her “Jackie ‘Judas’ Goldschneider” and hints she’s been doing something behind Teresa’s back.
“I’m being friends with whoever I wanna be friends with and I don’t care,” Jackie later tells the group.
“This is a big f*cking waste of my time. I’m walking away from you,” she adds to Margaret.
As for Aydin’s fight with Danielle, that erupts after Danielle asks her castmate, “What’s going on with you and me, just out of curiosity?”
“I see your true colors. I just f*cking outed you!” Aydin yells.
“You’re dirty. Everybody was right about you,” Danielle fires back. “You’re a piece of sh*t. You’re a f*cking dirtbag.”
Teresa and Rachel also go to war at the party.
“You’re a f*cking bully, Teresa,” Rachel tells her.
“Don’t poke the bear,” Teresa warns.
Also in the RHONJ season 14 trailer are several exciting moments among the cast, including Melissa and Teresa’s daughters, Antonia Gorga, 18, and Gabriella Giudice, 19, going to college.
“I can’t believe you’re leaving me,” Melissa tells Antonia before arriving at the University of Delaware. “I brought my tissues.”
Meanwhile, in another scene, Gabrielle is heading to the University of Michigan.
“[I’m] going to college in three days!” Gabriella announces to dad Joe Giudice, who is seen on FaceTime.
“I’m proud of you, Gabriella,” he replies.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 premieres on Sunday, May 5, at 8/7c on Bravo.
