Teresa Giudice and Luis “Louie” Ruelas’ alleged marital woes seem to take center stage in the upcoming season of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
The explosive Season 14 trailer dropped Wednesday, showing several castmates accusing Ruelas, 48, of financially ruining Giudice, whom he wed in August 2022.
At one point in the two-minute trailer, Danielle Cabral tells Giudice’s estranged sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, that the “Namaste B$tches” podcast host has become extremely unhappy with her home life.

“Teresa is distraught because in the house there is not a lot of calm,” Cabral says as images of Giudice, 51, crying flashed on screen.
During a separate conversation, Dolores Catania shares similar sentiments with co-star Jennifer Aydin, who agreed that “every time” she talks to Giudice “her stomach is in knots.”
“She is not doing great,” Catania adds.
Margaret Josephs is also caught telling her husband, Joe Benigno, that Ruelas’ lavish spending had become a big point of contention for the couple.
“Louie pissed her money away,” Margaret tells him over the phone.
John Fuda, the husband of “RHONJ” newbie Rachel Fuda, also brings up the couple’s finances while out to dinner with Ruelas and Giudice — who he called “the poster child for mortgage fraud.”
Teresa was indicted on federal fraud charges — including bankruptcy fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud and failing to pay taxes — alongside her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, in 2013.

As John is leaving the tense dining experience, he yells, “When I need my money laundered I’ll call you!”
The couple eventually goes head to head while cameras are rolling, with Ruelas telling his wife that he is working to improve things between them.
“I want it to be better,” he starts before she cuts him off, saying, “It’s not going to be better.”
Frustrated, Reulas then walks away from the conversation as Teresa insists that she doesn’t “want to talk about it.”
There have been rumblings of trouble in paradise for a few months after fans noticed that the once-inseparable couple started doing more things on their own.
However, Teresa tried to dispel the rumors on numerous occasions, most recently posting a photo alongside her husband captioned, “my heart is all yours.”
She also addressed the rumors on her “Namaste B$tches podcast,” slamming fans for “making up stories” about their marriage.
“Louie and I are not getting divorced and I am allowed to go on a girls trip,” she said. “We are allowed to not be together 24/7.”
However, she also noted that filming this season was very “stressful” for her — yet she didn’t divulge why.
The new season of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs May 5 on Bravo.
