Joe Gorga has launched a furious attack on Luis Ruelas, calling him “the devil” in a dramatic new escalation of the family dispute tearing apart Teresa Giudice’s already turbulent marriage.

The star of the reality TV show “Real Housewives of New Jersey” held nothing back, claiming Luis displayed violence behind closed doors and warning that he is prepared to sue if things continue to escalate.

According to people close to the Gorga family, tensions flared after a series of heated confrontations that led Joe to believe Luis was manipulating Teresa and destabilizing the entire family.

 Joe, who has long expressed concerns about Teresa’s relationship but has largely kept his distance in recent months, is believed to have reached a breaking point after hearing allegations of aggressive behavior that he says have only worsened since the couple married.

Sources indicate Teresa is caught in the middle of a battle, desperately defending her husband but clearly under immense stress as rumors of marital instability grow louder.

Friends suggest the once-steadfast reality TV star is struggling under pressure trying to protect Luis while watching her family fall apart with each new accusation. The situation worsened when Joe suggested legal action might be his only option if Luis continued what he described as threatening behavior.

While not specifying the next steps, Joe’s scathing warning signals that the family’s ongoing tragedy is entering its most critical phase. With filming for the new season about to begin and producers eagerly awaiting its release, many are speculating on how much longer Teresa’s marriage can hold out.

 With Joe publicly calling Luis a devil and accusing him of violence, along with legal threats, the already fragile family relationship seemed on the verge of collapse.

The Giudice-Gorga feud, which once stemmed from petty squabbles and sibling rivalry, had now escalated into something far more serious, leaving fans wondering if reconciliation was possible, or if the rift had finally ended.
