John Fuda DEEPLY REGRETS Joining ‘RHONJ’ Claims His Life is Ruined!
John Fuda deeply regrets joining The Real Housewives of New Jersey, he claims that his life has been significantly impacted and even ruined by his involvement in the show.
John Fuda reflected on his participation in The Real Housewives of New Jersey alongside his wife, Rachel Fuda, for the show’s 13th season.
During a June 2024 episode of the Reality Life with Kate Casey podcast, John Fuda explained that his primary motivation for joining the show was to “support [his] wife” and to be “a good husband.”
Initially, John Fuda anticipated that filming the series would be an enjoyable experience. “I thought it was going to be fun,” he said. However, the father of three was caught off guard when his 2008 arrest was brought up on the show, something he had not expected to resurface during filming.
“Joining ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ was definitely — I do have regret in my decision. I can’t even say I do not,” Fuda admitted in the interview.
John Fuda explained that his involvement in the show has led to negative repercussions, especially concerning his son Jaiden’s social life.
“I have scenarios with, you know, my son’s friends’ parents. ‘Hey, you know what? I heard this about him. You know, stay away from them.’ I’ve had that happen already,” he shared.
The 37-year-old also noted that rumors generated by the show’s drama have affected his business.
“I sit in a meeting and I look and I’ve got people looking at me weird. Because I’ve learned that you can literally make up any rumor that you want,” he said.
Reflecting on his experience, John Fuda concluded that starring in the Bravo series “was not worth it.” He expressed a desire to help others by sharing his story.
“If another man were to come up to me, I would share my experience because it’s the right thing to do,” he stated.
John and his wife, Rachel Fuda, made an appearance on the May 1 episode of Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp’s podcast, “Two Ts In A Pod.” During the recording of the May 2024 episode, John Fuda revealed that he felt defensive throughout the production of The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14.
During the interview, he discussed feeling defensive throughout the production of The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14, particularly due to his castmate Teresa Giudice bringing up his past legal issues.
“When you are being attacked — and I feel I’m being attacked, you have to defend yourself. Your past has come out and it’s like that was 20-something years ago – why are you doing that? Why are you digging stuff up from my past? That’s not fair,” said John Fuda.
He also expressed his belief that he was central to Teresa’s storyline for the season.
“If it wasn’t for me, what else would she have?” continued the father of three.
Rachel Fuda echoed similar sentiments in a May 2024 interview with Us Weekly, asserting that Teresa targeted their family for the sake of “her paycheck,” adding, “I think that she’s been on this show for so long and it just solidifies her relevancy,” said the 33-year-old.
Rachel also discussed her thoughts on Teresa’s behavior during a conversation with Access Hollywood in May 2024. She noted that Giudice has a pattern of targeting her castmates’ husbands.
“If you look at the history of her behavior, we go after Evan [Goldschnieder], we’re going after Joe [Gorga]. It’s a very familiar feeling. And I think that’s on purpose,” Rachel Fuda said.
She added that she believed Teresa wanted John Fuda to “look bad in defense of himself.” Despite the drama, Rachel affirmed her unwavering support for her husband. “I will have his back until death,” she stated.
