RHONJ cast shows public support for Andy Cohen amid legal drama

Andy Cohen slams Louie Ruelas’ “dark” comment about Margaret Josephs’ son: “I would go absolutely mental.”

Andy Cohen called Louie Ruelas’ viral comment about Margaret Josephs’ son the “darkest moment” of the RHONJ season 14 finale.

The Watch What Happens Live host told “Garbage World” podcast listeners that he would have gone “absolutely mental” if he were in Margaret’s shoes.

During the RHONJ season 14 finale episode on Sunday, Louie said, “I hope Margaret and her family suffer. You know, I hope her f–king son suffers the way I suffered, the way other people in our family have suffered.”

“Let me tell you something,” Andy Cohen said. “If someone that I didn’t care for invoked either of my children’s name … that is what it would take for me to be Danielle [Cabral].”

He joked, “Danielle Cabral’s button is: ‘Don’t talk about my husband’s pecs.’ Mine would be if you mention my children in an unfavorable way.”

Garbage World podcast hosts Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider noted that Teresa Giudice and the rest of the RHONJ cast “have never gone after each other’s children.”

They added, “Children have always been of importance to these women.”

After the RHONJ finale aired, Louie issued a public apology to Margaret Josephs on Instagram.

“The finale was very tough for me to watch, and I wanted to address it with you all. After watching the finale, I was disappointed in my actions in bringing up Margaret Josephs’ son,” the RHONJ husband said.

He continued, “The reason he was even brought up was because I have been dealing with being falsely accused of calling Margaret‘s son at his work, which is simply not true. For the last year, Margaret kept putting this narrative out there that I called her son at work and I have had to deal with it knowing I am being lied on.”

“Still, I know better not to bring someone’s child up, and it is something I deeply regret, so I do want to apologize and acknowledge that I was wrong. There’s been a lot of toxicity on the show that has affected everyone on the show. We have been dealing with a lot of frustrating things behind the scenes that has been very hard for our entire family and children who have been impacted at the hands of certain people. Two wrongs don’t make a right I deeply regret what I said.”

Meanwhile,  Margaret Josephs reacted to Louie Ruelas’ “appalling” comments about her son while appearing on SiriusXM’s Reality Checked with Kiki Monique.

“I was threatened again in the finale, my entire family,” Margaret said. “I find it appalling, disgusting … No one says that. It’s horrifying. It’s very disgraceful.”

Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 pm.

Sick of all of this one sided against Luis in favor of Margaret. She has brought all the negativity to the show from day 1!! She went after Siggy, Danielle even pushed Marty into the pool, threw wine at Danielle, and water at her, Then she went after Jen A talk about Bill's affair on national TV and tells Jen her kids are resilient and will get over it. But her 30 year old son that no one knows for sure was ever contacted and they tory harmed all of his and Theresa's kids mean nothing right

So what’s really so dark now ? Wishing you killed another hw AFTER assaulting her TWICE, celebrating you did that repeatedly, and having a team of hypocrites testify to it ? Or a man who creepy or not , went through the relentless stalking due to a pyscho ex that another HW actually helped? Uneffing real . Despicable !!! There is no defending trashbag cabral and bravo has gone down the gutter for real .

Seems like just yesterday when Tre was introducing ewwy Louie to us, proclaiming that he "didn't want to be in the spotlight". ? At this point, I strongly suspect that he purposely sought out Teresa FOR the spotlight. Their alleged meeting "just by happenstance" is absurd. As if there is anyone on the entire Eastern seaboard who wasn't familiar with Teresa Giudice. It would be tragically ironic if it turns out Louie is the one who ultimately ends Teresa's career on RHONJ. Just recently Melissa surmised that none of this would be happening if it weren't for Louie, so while I hate to burst Teresa's love bubble, it might be time for Teresa to re-assess the situation. https://media2.giphy.com/media/37smaPTFIq8f6sw7Mo/giphy-downsized-small.mp4

He's definitely going to cost her her job.

I can't wait until Tre tells what Margaret has done to family. Melissa wishing bad karma on Teresas kids. Now I believe all the law suits against him. He just promoted violence. Carol R and Heather were right about Andy. He is gross

Teresa must be blinded by Botox or she’d see her husband has mental health issues. I get a creepy Norman Bates vibe from that one, only he wears Nonno’s pajamas instead of Mother’s wig.
Enigma Wrapped in a Landslide? August 9, 2024 - 2:37 pm
Andy needs to stick a sock in it. He encourages and profits on all this rachet behavior in the name of entertainment, and then clutches his pearls in faux horror when it becomes too "toxic", aka a 30 yr. old man is referenced. Newsflash: Everyone is someone's "child".
ontoiran August 9, 2024 - 5:53 pm
Exactly! Don’t F with my husband or kids and we’ll get along just fine. I can overlook alot but can’t promise I’ll maintain composure if one crosses that line. My kids are over 30 and my husband is twice that age.

Laughable that the perverted creep likes to pretend he's all Namaste, love and light but has been caught several times saying downright nasty stuff about the other HWs and the husbands. It is pretty dark to wish suffering on someone but that's all the con man has brought to the show, dark toxicity. And Teresa is so blinded by her love bubble, or just too damn stupid to see this guy is a walking red flag with a big Danger, Danger sign stamped on his forehead.
Ting August 10, 2024 - 11:11 pm
in all fairness the housewives and husbands have said and done unspeakable things to louie so what's the difference?
book7175 August 11, 2024 - 7:51 am
Please elaborate what unspeakable things have they done to the perverted creep? What unspeakable things have they said about him other than what was out in the public? Has any of them said on TV they hope he and his sons suffer? Please trying to justify or defend this statement by him is pretty vile.
Ting August 11, 2024 - 9:09 pm
if you have been watching the show then you know what has been said and done. have you conveniently forgotten because you are so focused on the persons you dislike? i didn't say what louie said was right but why not address others bringing younger children and young adults into nasty conversations? marge brought that lie to the reunion about louie trying to contact her son and he is an older adult! take it or leave it louie apologized which is more than anyone else has done. if someone made you and your family suffer how would you feel? see both sides of things and not biased like andy cohen. he throws the rock and hides the hand. just because certain cast members are your favorite does not mean they never get ugly. they do.

book7175 August 12, 2024 - 7:50 am
Obvioulsy you can't come up with one example of the unspeakable things they have said or done so you resort to the old "if you have been watching the show then you know" Lol. If I knew I wouldn't have asked the question. And how do you know it's a lie that Louie contacted Marge's son? Because he said so? Just like he said he had everyone investigated by Bo Dietl and then said no I was lying? (and he said it twice on TV mind you not just in the heat of the moment, pretty spectacular lie to come up with on the fly). It's not hard to understand after that that no one trusts him or believes him, and that's all on him. And for the record none of these cast members are my favorite but I'm not blinded to the obvious either. Louie is, and has been, bad news and caused a lot of turmoil on the show. His past is his past. Marge didn't set him up with his crazy exes, he chose to have relationships with the "crazy women". And Marge didn't bring him to court, his own actions caused him to suffer, but since hooking up with Teresa it's all's become public because that's what happens when you choose to go on reality TV. Plenty of people, not just Marge, were bringing all his skeletons out of the closet, but because Teresa has a hard on for Marge they blamed her for everything. How do we know Jackie wasn't the bigger problem because we see now she's also a big liar.

you're bothered that i'm obviously smarter than you. you can't pick examples from a show you claim you watch 24/7 and mad because i don't breast feed you those examples. you're pure drama, own it. i see you haven't taken your own advice yet, you're still responding to me after you asked me not to respond to your posts. you're so smart, lol.

Typical Andy showing his bias . Not that what Louie said was complimentary, but it’s far from being darkest moment . For someone who can’t answer simple questions as an EP, he sure knows how to weigh in and keep the ugly HW shit going . And , not that I excuse completely what Louie says , I can understand why someone would speak out of anger due to trout mouth . MY OPINION.

Cohen is an asshole
Zap It August 9, 2024 - 12:04 pm
Marge's son made up a fake call with his evil mother to destroy Tre's family. He's an adult man who got involved in his evil mother's plot to take down Teresa. Luis didn't say HE'D make him suffer. He said he hopes he suffers the way he made Teresa and her family suffer. Fair game. If that's Cohen's dark moment he's got some explaining to do given all the women and families HE'S destroyed.
michers August 9, 2024 - 3:24 pm
Haters of people interpret differently. It’s quite fine though when nasty women imply evil or actually like a pigtailed trout mouth , do evil things . Its interesting that physical violence twice by same person wasn’t dark enough for his ass
Zap It August 9, 2024 - 3:31 pm
Exactly. The hypocrisy makes me laugh. Dark moment...and then drags his children into the conversation. Cohen really is a creep.
michers August 10, 2024 - 2:50 pm
And how everyone just sat there at reunion when Marge told jen her 10 year old will be fine hearing about cheating because “ kids are resilient “… there is a TON of dark done and said to Teresa but it’s fine especially when it was a gang up ! Such a great group of adults ! So Marge’s 30 something year old adult she probably doesn’t even speak to , I’m sure is far more resilient:) Everyone on their pedestal of preaching how awful someone is for reacting to Marge BS can go scratch , whether I agree w/ what Louie said or not . The hypocrisy is absurd
Zap It August 12, 2024 - 12:59 pm
OMG I forgot about that. What a double standard. Margaret saying that about a 10 year old CHILD didn't offend Mr. Andy at all. But say something about a 30 year old MAN and wow, it's the darkest moment on Reality TV. LOL
Hilda Quezada August 9, 2024 - 8:54 am
It was wrong for what he said, BUT!!! The majority of HW's and husbands talk about others children. Andy for one does not defend or stop others from talking bad of children.
Jane_one August 9, 2024 - 2:13 pm
You mean when Teresa said Joey's son was might not be his?
holy cannoli August 9, 2024 - 8:41 am
What Louie said was awful, disgusting terrible. I just can’t stand that man- sorry not sorry. Although ( in my opinion) he did not threaten the Marge and her son). If that were the case he would have said “ I’ll make them suffer”. I’m definitely not excusing what he said., cause it was ugly. I’m just stating my opinion. He did apologize, but seriously. I wouldn’t accept his apology. So there’s that. Happy Friday everyone. Have a great weekend.?
