Louie Ruelas has had enough of Joe Gorga‘s BS, and he made that abundantly clear on this week’s episode of RHONJ.

On Tuesday’s episode of RHONJ, Louie made it clear that he is no longer interested in trying to play nice with his now-wife’s brother.

“[Do] you know what it’s like for me to be calm in the last three months around an animal like that?” Louie asked his now-wife, then-fianceé, Teresa Giudice.

Louie added that he works hard to stay calm around Joe because he’s “not gonna lower myself to f–king trash that does that.”

In her confessional interview, Teresa admitted that she feels horrible for Louie.

Teresa said:

“Poor guy. He’s been taking it and taking it, and I feel horrible because it’s my family, like I’m embarrassed. I’m embarrassed. I’ve never heard Luis talk like this before, but I don’t blame him at all. If the tables were turned, I would be so upset if his sisters were treating me this way.”

The RHONJ OG agreed with Louie, saying that she’s “always wanted” a relationship with her brother, but she’s “done” and is “tired of getting hurt.”

Louie then claimed that Joe is doing all of this on purpose because he and Teresa are getting married, and the focus is on them, not him and his wife, Melissa Gorga.

“We’re getting married, and after that, I’m not gonna allow anyone to do anything like this to you anymore. It’s happening right now on purpose because we’re getting married, and it’s bulls–t; it’s such a shame I feel so bad for you guys,” Louie said before noting that he took major issue with Joe and Melissa telling Teresa that she’s “miserable.”

The New Jersey businessman quipped:

“Meanwhile, you see her [Giudice’s] happiness, you see her vulnerability, you see her living her best life right now, and you’re going to say you look miserable?”

According to Louie, Joe would rather see Teresa “broken down” than thriving. He claims that Joe is “projecting his own bulls–t on you,” while also “manipulating” and “gaslighting” Teresa.

“Your brother is devilishly calculated by everything he does that he’s actually thinking about how to hurt you. It’s disgusting,” he continued, adding that he’s “pulling” Teresa out of the Gorgas’ “snake pit.”

In conclusion, Louie believes Joe is “threatened” by him despite his attempts to give Joe the respect he deserved as the patriarch of the Gorga family.

He said: “I’ve shown your brother nothing but sincerity, love. I handed over to him verbally saying, ‘You are the patriarch of this family — not me.’”

“I can’t stand to be around that anymore,” Louie continued. “I don’t even want your brother coming to our wedding because I don’t want that energy around a beautiful environment.”

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm on Bravo.
