Fans are putting Luis “Louie” Ruelas on blast for encouraging his wife Teresa Giudice’s daughters to wear thongs and short skirts.
Ruelas made the questionable comments on the latest episode of his and Giudice’s podcast, “Turning the Tables,” during a conversation about their blended families.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 52, and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, share Gia Giudice, 23, Gabriella Giudice, 19, Milania Giudice, 18, and Audriana Giudice, 14.
As for Louie, 49, he’s dad to sons Nicholas Ruelas, 23, and Louie Ruelas Jr., 20, from his marriage to Marisa Dimartino Ruelas.
During his chat with Teresa, Louie emphasized the importance of living one’s youth to the fullest and admitted to telling her daughters, “Try it all! You know, nothing bad, or anything like that. But I’m saying, like, go to the club and dance, wear a thong, wear a short skirt, show your legs off a little bit.”
Because they’re “the most proper girls [he’s] ever met,” the businessman wants them to “take a risk.”
“We went to Greece last year,” he explained to Teresa. “You know what I told your daughters? ‘Wear a thong. Do it now! Do it now ’cause I didn’t do it when I was young. Do it now. Experience it now.’”
Louie added that when the girls eventually “came out in a thong,” his response was, “You look f–king amazing!”
As for Teresa, she seemed on board with her husband’s remarks. “Yes!” she exclaimed while nodding, sharing that she feels she, too, missed out on her more carefree years.
Fans, however, were not as supportive of Louie’s “completely inappropriate” take, as one Instagram user branded him the “Ultimate Creep.”
“Creep alert ,” someone else echoed, which was followed by, “Too creepy, this really crosses the line.”
“This is HORRIBLE!” another critic commented, as someone else wondered, “Why is this conversation even happening!! Sick sick sick…”
Netizens were not just outraged by Louie, as many ripped into Teresa for encouraging the behavior.
“They are both disgusting ,” one dissenter wrote, while another questioned, “what mother would agree to what he is saying.”
“And she’s like Yes, yes!! Don’t know which one is worst [sic]! ” yet another person penned, which was followed by, “Wtf is wrong with this man who says this and the mom is so happy and thrilled smh .”
Others wondered “what Joe guidice [sic] is thinking about this.”
