A new shockwave has hit the Real Housewives of New Jersey world as Margaret Josephs has taken aim at Teresa Giudice's husband Luis Ruelas, accusing him of being behind Gia Giudice's academic cheating scandal
The source of the scandal was a list recently released by Gia's university, in which her name appeared on the list of students being screened for signs of dishonesty on semester exams
Margaret then spoke out on a behind-the-scenes segment of RHONJ with the shocking statement I know for sure Luis is involved in this
That girl could never have written an essay like that
A source from the school confirmed that plagiarism detection software showed that Gia's essay had a significantly different sentence structure and language style than her previous exams
Not only that, the IP data recording the submission matched an address that Luis had used in a previous marketing project
An anonymous lecturer also revealed that Gia's essay had many passages showing her academic level was much higher than what she showed in class
We didn't draw immediate conclusions but had to question it because there were too many irregularities
Luis now refuses to comment Teresa immediately got angry and claimed Margaret was jealous of her daughter's success
Gia is beautiful, smart and works hard
She always has a problem with anyone with the last name Giudice Teresa said at a private gathering with fans
Margaret has no intention of taking back her words
She said she knew about this for a long time but didn't speak up because she thought it wasn't serious
But when I saw the school announce the list, I couldn't sit still anymore
Luis thinks that with money, he can buy his stepdaughter's academic reputation
There is a rift within RHONJ
Melissa Gorga and Danielle Cabral are said to be secretly supporting Margaret when they both like comments calling for academic fairness
Jennifer Aydin and Dolores stood Teresa's side claims this is an organized takedown to tarnish the Giudice family's image ahead of the new season
Bravo can't stay out of it either
A source close to the production team said that if this scandal continues to spread, the show's image will be significantly damaged
They have begun closed-door meetings to prepare a media response plan, including cutting Luis or Gia's role in some upcoming episodes if necessary
Gia has yet to speak out
Her personal Instagram has removed a series of posts related to her academic achievements and school
Images related to her previously praised essay have also disappeared
This scandal could become the most serious academic stain on the RHONJ franchise since Teresa was convicted in 2014
And this time, the person in charge is someone who seems to have no direct involvement in the drama
Luis Ruelas
With Margaret pushing the matter further and Bravo still observing the situation
All Waiting to see if Gia Giudice can keep the role model position she was once given or will lose it all because of a post that wasn't hers
