‘RHONJ’ recap: Teresa Giudice brings up Tiki Barber infidelity rumors

Reality TV

Teresa Giudice is ready to air out Traci Lynn Johnson and Tiki Barber’s dirty laundry.

During Tuesday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” the reality star threatened to discuss the couple’s controversial romance – which allegedly began when the former NFL star was still married to his ex-wife.

“I heard she was the nanny living with them and the wife was pregnant,” Giudice said, bringing up old rumors about Johnson and Barber.

“Am I asking those questions? No. True friends, they don’t question anybody.”

Barber reportedly met Johnson in 2007 when she was an NBC intern and he worked at “Today.” The two allegedly started seeing each other while he was still married to Ginny Cha.

The Post previously reported that Cha found out about Barber’s alleged relationship with Johnson in late 2009 – while Cha was expecting twins and after Barber had moved out of their Upper East Side home.

Various reports from other outlets also claimed that the former New York Giants running back left Cha for Johnson, though Barber denied those allegations.

“We were only friends when I was still married,” he told Entertainment Tonight in August 2010. “I was separated, out of my house so it wasn’t until then that we took things to the next level.”

Barber and Johnson ended up tying the knot in July 2012.

Giudice didn't appreciate any of the ladies questioning Ruelas.

As for why Giudice brought up the infidelity rumors? It seems she was not happy when Barber asked her fiancé, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, about his own allegedly sketchy past.

During last week’s episode, Barber inquired about reports accusing Ruelas of “physical violence” during a guys’ night.

Ruelas denied the allegations, and Barber eventually backed off, saying, “It’s what my wife is talking about.”

Giudice also aired out her annoyance with Margaret Josephs, who previously questioned Ruelas’ past, namely a resurfaced “warrior camp” video.

“I swear to god she [Josephs] better stop with her questions, because she’s gonna really piss me off,” Giudice said. “He [Ruelas] does not have to prove himself to no one, especially not her and especially not Traci.”

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
