Teresa Giudice's husband Luis Ruelas infuriated some fans of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey with his harsh words for their costar Margaret Josephs' son on the season 14 finale on Sunday.
Just prior to Teresa's no-holds-barred 'Last Supper'with her fellow housewives, Luis unloaded on her about Margaret, 57, after Teresa had previously accused her of speaking to one of his exes and then allegedly spreading unflattering rumors.
A red-faced Luis, 49, offered his 52-year-old wife a plan to 'navigate' the volatile meeting she was about to have with the other ladies.
'Tell her to stay away from our family. And you know what? I hope Margaret and her family suffer,' he shouted. 'You know, I hope her f***ing son suffers the way I suffered, the way other people in our family have suffered.'
Teresa seemed to agree that his sentiment was justified, as she claimed their 'kids' had 'suffered' as the result of Margaret's behavior.

Luis turned up the temperature by calling Margaret a 'disgusting, vile human being.'
'She’s here to take advantage of everything that’s going on, and she’s a real piece of garbage,' he continued. 'If Margaret doesn’t apologize to you, she’s not even worth you even sitting in front of her, Teresa.'
But several RHONJ fans were not on Luis' side after the scene due to his comment about Margaret's son.
Several people were disturbed that he would go after a civilian, as Margaret's son has opted not to be a part of the series and is not filmed for it.
'Omg. For Luis to say I hope Marge's son suffers is a bridge too far,' wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter). Her son has never ben on the shoe has never spoken in the press about what allegedly happened or didn't that was cruel.'
'Luis is a REAL D*** to say that about Margaret's SON suffering! He's NOT a good PERSON!' added another outraged viewer.
Fans who didn't normally root for Teresa seemed to be as concerned about what Luis said as her usual defenders.
'I'm not even a fan of Teresa, but gaaah damn, she couldn't hav found someone better than Louise?? Idk, maybe like attracts like,' added one user.

Even fans who didn't care for Margaret thought Luis' comments were out of line
Another viewer put it simply enough: 'Loui is the downfall of Teresa and #RHONJ. Absolute scum bucket.'
Even fans who didn't care for Margaret thought Luis' comments were out of line.
'Look Margaret is a dumb b*** most of the time doing shady s***. But Teresa... HONEY your man, wishing they suffer is wild,' warned one fan. 'Luis is buck f***ing wild! I would seriously try to get away from him Teresa!'
Elsewhere in the episode, Teresa continued her attacks against Margaret by belittling her husband as a 'f***ing plumber,' which rubbed more viewers the wrong way.
'Marge being married to a plumber is an insult how? Joe is one of the best husbands on the show,' wrote an outraged fan, via Page Six.
'Teresa commenting on Joe being a plumber etc is disgusting.. real men work hard for a living Teresa and trade workers are above you,' added another user.
Despite Luis and Teresa's plans to attack Margaret, she got a shock when Margaret revealed thatJackie Goldschneider had actually been the first person to speak to Luis' ex, whom he had been involved with in a lawsuit.
But Teresa was far more forgiving of Jackie, either because they had a better preexisting relationship or because she wasn't willing to dilute her fury toward Margaret.

RHONJ will be back for a final episode showing the series' stars watching and commenting on Sunday's finale, with the women being divided into two different rooms to keep warring factions apart.
Last week, Bravo's Andy Cohen said the series might need a 'reboot' to cleanse it of the toxic relationships and incessant fighting.
He has suggested similar moves in recent weeks as fans have increasing complained on his radio show about RHONJ.
However, Cohen's latest, most extreme statement may also have been an attempt to get a disgruntled caller to end her complaint.
