Real Housewives of Rhode Island star Jo-Ellen Tiberi wants an apology from Rulla Nehme Pontarelli after she allegedly received video proof of her husband Brian Pontarelli’s affair.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Jo-Ellen called Rulla out for her misguided rage towards her.
Jo-Ellen wants Justice:
The aesthetic practice development manager noted that Rulla’s husband was “caught beyond red-handed. It’s irrefutable proof” that Brian is a cheater.
“Some of it’s being a ‘girl’s girl,’ and some of it’s vindicating myself. I’m sick of being told that I’m lying.”
Jo-Ellen continued, “I don’t think that’s fair” that Rulla took her anger out on her. “You’re coming for my character when you should be coming for your husband with a baseball bat.”
The mid-season trailer:
Jo-Ellen received a video of Brian supposedly with another woman, as hinted at during the preview for the second half of RHORI‘s freshman season. Jo-Ellen previously confronted Rulla with text messages about her husband’s indecent behavior, which Rulla felt was fabricated.
“Are you going to apologize to me now? I think I’m owed one,” Jo-Ellen told the tabloid.
“She kept on saying that I’m lying. That’s not true. This isn’t AI, I was trying to be a good person. She chose to go on the Housewives, knowing what was happening. That’s not a me thing. Did you think we weren’t gonna talk about it? It’s happening under your nose.”
ICYMI:
Rulla previously discussed her marriage before the franchise began airing. “Brian is the person who I’ve known my entire life. For any mistakes or misjudgements he’s made, I can honestly tell everyone that he has more than repented his sins.”
She added, “I think everyone will see that. For people who might say, ‘Oh, my God, after what he did, I can’t believe she’s with him or taking him back and she doesn’t need him,’ I feel like for a woman with values, it actually makes you a stronger person.”
According to Rulla, Brian has “repented his sins.”
