In a recent interview, Dolores Catania didn’t hold back her fury, blasting Teresa Giudice and her husband, Luis Ruelas, for their actions on Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ). She accused Teresa and Luis of exploiting her family’s drama not only to attract attention but also to conceal their own dark secrets, protecting their image on television.
According to Dolores, everything started when Teresa and Luis, instead of maintaining normal family relationships, tried to turn the conflicts in her family into a tool to draw attention and boost ratings for the show. “They know exactly what’s going on in my family, but instead of helping, they chose to exploit it. That’s not sincerity; it’s manipulation to protect themselves,” Dolores said in a tense interview.
Catania didn’t just accuse Teresa and Luis of distorting the truth; she also criticized how they used her family as a “smokescreen” to hide the shady, murky things going on in their own family. Dolores insisted that while Teresa and Luis worked to maintain a perfect image, free from scandals, they created a narrative that made the audience and even family members believe that all the issues were caused by her.
“Why do they want to hurt my family? I just can’t understand it. They’re not just hurting me, but also destroying relationships I’ve worked so hard to build over the years,” Dolores shared, visibly upset. She didn’t hold back, mentioning how Teresa used details about her family during conversations on RHONJ without asking for permission, damaging their relationship in the process.
According to Dolores, it wasn’t just Teresa but Luis who was the mastermind behind everything. She referred to Luis as a “master manipulator,” believing he always knew how to spin every situation to his advantage, making the audience view everything in a way that benefited him. “Luis has a special way of making everyone think he’s innocent. He knows how to make it look like I’m the one causing the problems, when in fact, he’s the one pulling the strings,” Dolores bitterly expressed.
Dolores also stressed that Teresa and Luis’ actions had caused her to lose trust in them. She felt betrayed by the friend she had once trusted, believing Teresa had chosen to protect Luis rather than stand by their long-lasting friendship. She bluntly stated that she would never forgive what had happened, feeling trapped in a situation manipulated by them.
However, Dolores wasn’t afraid to send a warning: if Teresa and Luis continued their behavior, she would have no hesitation in exposing everything. “If they think they can manipulate me or my family to keep their image intact, they’re wrong. I’m not someone who’s easily deceived, and I will fight to the end to protect the truth,” Dolores concluded with determination.
The drama between Dolores Catania and the Giudice family is not just a mere argument between RHONJ stars but also a lesson in how reality television shows can stir up conflicts, turning family issues into scripted content to draw attention. With Dolores’ fury, this feud may just be beginning, promising even more drama for RHONJ in the episodes to come.
