RHONJ’s Luis Ruelas is accused of owing more than $300,000 to vendors
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Husband Luis Ruelas It’s drawing some heat on social media. A party planner who helped launch one of Lewis’ new business ventures last year claims he never paid her.
Luis attended the party with his son and daughters, Audriana and Gia Giudice, and Gia’s boyfriend. The event planner claims Lewis owes her $300,000 for Vinivia’s launch party. That’s a lot of appetizers.
Now the concert organizer has taken her case to social media. In a screenshot posted to Instagram earlier this week, the woman asked Lewis for payment. “[Luis Ruelas] How do we get paid?!” she asked, next to a photo of Luis and Teresa Giudice’s blended family.
Not paying was “difficult” for the event planner
Speaking on Instagram, wifeoftheparty admitted that Louis’ failure to pay his debts to her had put her in a bad situation.
“I want to be very clear that, as this project continues, everything has been requested and approved, and I have everything to show for it,” she wrote. “This was not a surprising number. [Marcello Genovese, Vinivia’s co-founder] I completely agreed and kept giving me excuses.
“I’ve now gotten to the point where I finally realize they’re not going to pay me,” the event planner continued. “It makes me feel sick, and I think on top of that, it was really important for me to finally speak up… This is a complete scam, and this is a few hundred thousand dollars.”
The party planner claims there were “fake papers” and “the money was returned.” “He sent a couple,” she added [of] Small payments on credit cards, but I realize now that was just to silence me, which is really bad.
“[They] “I had this huge party that they couldn’t afford at my expense,” she concluded.
The event celebrated the new live streaming app Vinivia, which, according to Google, “offers an immersive and real-time way to showcase products, launch promotions, and connect with consumers.” Lewis reportedly helped launch Vinivia as an independent contractor.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
