Andy Cohen has publicly criticized Luis Ruelas for his harsh comments about Margaret Josephs' son during the season finale of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Ruelas stated he hopes Josephs and her family suffer, which Cohen described as the 'darkest moment' of the episode. Reflecting on fatherhood, Cohen shared that he would react violently if anyone invoked his children's names negatively, stating, 'If someone that I didn’t care for invoked either of my children’s names, I would go absolutely mental.' Podcast co-hosts noted that discussing children has historically been a taboo among the Housewives. In response, Ruelas expressed regret over his remarks, admitting it was wrong to bring up Josephs' son. Teresa Giudice, Ruelas' wife, seemed to endorse his sentiments, suggesting their children had suffered due to Josephs' actions.
