NEW JERSEY – The opulent world of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" has been rocked once again, this time by a scathing remark from Jennifer Aydin directed at Luis Ruelas, husband of Teresa Giudice. After Ruelas reportedly downsized from a multi-million dollar mansion, Aydin allegedly referred to his new abode as a "slum," igniting a feud that's quickly spiraling out of control.
Sources close to the situation claim Aydin's comment was made during a private conversation, but quickly made its way back to Ruelas, who was reportedly "livid." What was intended as a harmless jab has now become a full-blown war of words, with both parties allegedly making disparaging remarks about each other through mutual acquaintances.
"It was supposed to be a joke," an anonymous source revealed, "Jennifer is known for her unfiltered opinions, but this time she may have gone too far. Luis took it very personally."
The term "gone underground" suggests the criticism was initially whispered behind closed doors, adding a layer of intrigue and potential malice to the situation. Was Aydin intentionally trying to undermine Ruelas? Or was it simply a case of foot-in-mouth disease?
While Ruelas has yet to publicly address Aydin's comment, sources say he's been privately questioning Aydin's own lifestyle, hinting at financial dependence on her husband, Bill Aydin, a successful plastic surgeon.
"Luis feels like Jennifer is in no position to judge anyone's living situation," the source continued. "He believes she should focus on her own family and leave him and Teresa alone."
As always, Teresa Giudice finds herself caught in the middle of the drama. While she's publicly remained neutral, sources say she's privately urged both Aydin and Ruelas to put an end to the feud.
"Teresa is trying to play peacemaker," the source explained, "but it's a difficult situation. She values her friendship with Jennifer, but she also wants to support her husband."
The drama is expected to unfold in the upcoming season of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," promising viewers a front-row seat to the explosive fallout. Will Aydin and Ruelas be able to mend fences? Or will this feud escalate into a full-blown war? Only time will tell.
