The plaintiff claimed the two men were “responsible for day-to-day operations” and “have full decision-making authority over Produce Depot’s assets.”

SHOW GAME

While Teresa has praised her boyfriend for his over-the-top romantic gestures on the show, her RHONJ co-stars have been suspicious of his past.

The season began with her co-stars discussing a resurfaced video featuring Luis.

In the clip, the businessman can be seen shirtless surrounded by shirtless men he calls his “brothers.”

He’s standing on the beach and seems to be talking to one of his exes.

In the video he says: “I’m coming home to see you, to get engaged and to bring our family together and finally to get married and have a life together. I’m here since a week.”

He continued, “I love our children and I hope you take this message well. Thank you I love you. Thanks for your time. I hope this touches your heart… And I hope to come home to have the opportunity to speak to you and share my experiences of my life with you.”

Actress Traci Johnson called the video “bizarre” and a “red flag,” while Jackie Goldschneider found it “weird.”

Teresa’s sister-in-law Melissa Gorga said it was “crazy,” as Jennifer Aydin called it “weird shit.”

Teresa even once refused to film because of gossip about Luis.

Luis addressed the video later in the season after Margaret Josephs asked him about it.

He said later, “I grew up with a lot of trauma in my life. A friend of mine went out and started this thing called Warrior in California and a lot of men go back to their pain to see their pain get clarity.

“And I was in a relationship with a woman, so in that moment I had to learn to be vulnerable with that woman and tell her I’m sorry… because I didn’t want to commit to marriage, that’s what I want.” don’t tie me to a bad woman.

“So I apologized to a woman for not being honest and saying it’s over.”

But Margaret didn’t buy it as she said: “The video we all saw he suggested and now he’s saying it was a breakup video?”

ABUSE CLAIMS

In last week’s episode, Traci’s husband and former NFL player Tiki Barber asked Luis about allegations he molested an ex.

Luis denied the claims on the show.

In a mid-season teaser, Teresa said of Margaret, “She dragged my boyfriend through the mud.”

The two even seem to be getting over the feud physically.

The sun broke Luis was accused by an ex of engaging in “controlling and abusive” behavior from February 2019 to October 2019.

On May 20, the woman dismissed the lawsuit.

A rep for Luis did not respond to The Sun’s request for comment at the time.
