This might be worth flipping a table over.

Teresa Giudice’s new husband, Luis Ruelas, gifted her four daughters Cartier bracelets for Christmas — but now, he’s been accused of doling out fakes.

Instagram account The Real Bad Fashions reposted a video Teresa’s daughter Gia filmed while unboxing her holiday haul.

“Why is the Cartier logo off-center?” the account’s creator questioned, sharing up-close photos of the bracelet in an effort to prove that the box Gia’s clutching doesn’t bear the official Cartier emblem.

Commenters quickly weighed in. “I knew it!!! The inside of that box looked too janky for a brand new cartier box…lawd,” one wrote.

“These can easily be duplicated on 47th street…” another follower mused, while a third “RHONJ” fan wrote, “Money talks… Wealth whispers… And these girls are screaming.” 

Ruelas maintains the gifts were a hit with his new family.

“I think in the spirit of what Christmas is really all about, peoples focus should be elsewhere and not on something silly like this,” he told Page Six Style in a statement shared by his lawyer.

“That being said, the girls are very happy with their bracelets and grateful to have received them.”

And plenty of others believed the bling was legit.

“Images on the websites aren’t accurate all the time, especially packing wise,” one supporter commented. Another wrote, “I just went to the Cartier flagship and got a bracelet for Christmas. The inside is padded where the logo is. It’s real.” 

Teresa and Ruelas celebrated their first Christmas as a married couple this year, and Giudice’s daughter Milania, 16, was the first to share on TikTok that Ruelas had bestowed the five-figure bracelets on each of his stepdaughters.

The Giudice family celebrated Christmas with elaborate gifts.

“Luis always goes big, and last year he also got us a Cartier bracelet,” she said while showing off the yellow gold Cartier Love Bracelet ($6,900) Ruelas gave her last year.

“This year he, again, got us — me and my three sisters — this one, which was so nice,” she continued, before showing her followers her new Juste Un Clou Bracelet ($12,500), which showcases 32 diamonds set in yellow gold.
