  • PI Bo Dietl Denies Luis Ruelas Claims on RHONJ & Slams “Total Lies,” Plus Reacts to Being Dragged Into Lawsuit From Luis’ Ex Vanessa Reiser

    Bo Dietl is speaking out about the “nonsense” and “total lies” that Luis Ruelas said about him on the 13th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

    Years after Luis, 50, claimed Bo, 74, brought him “information on each person” on the cast and alleged that the private investigator knew “sh*t about everybody” on the season 13 finale, Bo said that while Terasa Giudice‘s spouse did ask him to “do something for him,” it had “nothing to do with the show.”

    “Luis asked me to do something for him — nothing to do with the show,” Bo told Radar Online on October 27 about how they met. “I like Teresa and Luis personally, but I’ve never done background work on the cast. And the whole ‘Bo has dirt on everyone’ is nonsense. Total lies.”

    “Luis yelled… ‘I got Bo Dietl!’ claiming I had dirt on everyone. All nonsense. I told him, ‘Don’t throw my name around unless you’re hiring me.’ If you pay, I will do it legally,” he continued.

    While Luis eventually admitted that his claims about Bo and the supposed information he gathered were “misstated … out of anger” at the reunion, the drama was “too much nonsense” for Bo.

    “I deal with real life – killings, threats, kidnappings, corporate investigations. Luis throwing my name out there with ‘dirt on everyone’ is embarrassing,” Bo explained. “People think I did background investigation work on the cast. Never happened. I’ve been a homicide detective, a businessman, and a private investigator for decades, and I know the difference between real work and nonsense TV drama.”

    In addition to being dragged into the drama of RHONJ, Bo also found himself named in a February 2024 lawsuit that accused him, Luis, and others of hacking into computers to “harass and abuse” Luis’ ex, Vanessa Reiser.

    “I never hacked anyone’s computers,” Bo insisted. “There’s absolutely no evidence because it never happened. I’ve spent over 40 years in law enforcement and private investigations, and people love to throw my name around to create drama or get attention. It’s embarrassing. If this goes to court, I’ll be there. I’ve got nothing to hide.”

    “All the drama, all the nonsense from reality shows or the media? Forget it. Real life is about love, family, friends, and enjoying the life you’ve built together. That’s what counts,” he concluded.

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on hiatus ahead of its 15th season.

  • RHONJ’s Jackie Goldschneider Defends Luis Ruelas in Court Battle With His Ex Vanessa Reiser as She Claims Vanessa Exploited Her Vulnerability

    Teresa Giudice‘s husband, Luis Ruelas, has submitted a written declaration in which her former on-screen nemesis, Jackie Goldschneider, came to his defense amid his ongoing legal battle with former fiancée Vanessa Reiser.

    After Luis accused Vanessa of violating an agreement they made in 2020, which required them to refrain from trash-talking one another publicly and to third parties, the 48-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star wrote a letter on his behalf, claiming Vanessa reached out to her and Margaret Josephs, 58, after Luis began dating Teresa in 2020.

    “I am providing this affidavit in support of [Luis’] motion for contempt against Vanessa Reiser,” Jackie wrote, via Us Weekly. “Prior to meeting [Vanessa], I became aware that Ruelas and Reiser had a romantic relationship that ended abruptly. Following the conclusion of their relationship, [Ruelas] began dating my cast member, Teresa Giudice, which eventually led to their marriage.”

    “[Vanessa] often made derogatory statements about [Luis] to me during our interactions. [Vanessa] and I spoke multiple times via text message and phone, where she identified herself as [Luis’] ex-fiancée and frequently made negative remarks about him,” she continued. “Although I was initially sympathetic to [Vanessa’s] situation, she exploited my vulnerability and kindness and sought to leverage our interactions to criticize [Luis].”

    Following a falling out with Teresa, 53, on RHONJ, Jackie welcomed Vanessa into her home, where Vanessa allegedly made more comments about Luis as she “portrayed herself as a victim and consistently characterized [Luis] as a narcissist.”

    “She often recounted stories about their relationship that portrayed him in a negative light,” Jackie recalled. “[And] I believe that her actions and statements are in direct violation of the terms of the consent order between her and [Luis] … Her conduct, as it pertained to me, had been consistent and aimed at disparaging [Luis].”

    Following Jackie’s writing of the letter, an insider close to the former attorney informed Us Weekly that she was glad to help Luis in this legal matter.

    Meanwhile, Vanessa denied she violated the 2020 deal as she clapped back at Jackie’s statements.

    “Jackie hated [Luis] and his wife because his wife wrongfully and viciously accused Jackie’s husband of having an affair. But now, when Jackie needs a friend to keep her on the show, she has buddied up with Teresa,” she explained. 

    A judge has yet to rule.

  • RHONJ’s Gia Giudice is Dragged Into Luis Ruelas’ Legal Battle With Vanessa Reiser as He Accuses Ex-Fiancée of Making Her “Uncomfortable”

    Teresa Giudice’s oldest daughter, Gia Giudice, is being dragged into Luis Ruelas‘ ongoing legal battle with his former fiancée, Vanessa Reiser.

    Following the news that Kim DePaola, 64, had been brought into their court fight due to a potential agreement violation and conflict of interest regarding one of Vanessa’s attorneys, Luis, 50, accused Vanessa of following the 24-year-old Next Gen NYC cast member on Instagram and making her uncomfortable.

    According to an August 20 report from Us Weekly, Luis, of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is attempting to have Vanessa found in contempt of an agreement they made in 2020, which required both parties to refrain from making derogatory statements about the other. 

    As part of his efforts, Luis submitted a declaration in which he accused his former partner of reaching out to family members, bloggers, and other parties to defame him, and of sharing disparaging content about him on social media. 

    Luis then said that Vanessa followed Gia on Instagram, “and makes her presence known there too, causing uncomfortable feelings and emotions for a young girl,” and leading their family to experience “daily emotional distress.”

    In response to the declaration, and a screenshot Luis included of one of Gia’s past posts on Instagram, Vanessa said the screenshot was given to “support its claim for some wrongdoing by me,” but the post did not mention Luis. She also said she didn’t “like” or comment on the post.

    “If Gia felt uncomfortable by something or some one online, she could simply block that person. If [it was] harassing, she could report that person. If she alleges criminal conduct she could involve the police,” Vanessa reasoned. “If she claimed defamation, she could file a civil action. She has done none of the above.”

    “What cannot be done, is allow [Ruelas] to attribute his wife’s adult daughter now, that she feels uncomfortable, from a 2021 post, of which on its face there is no nexus to me, and use [the] same as evidence in court,” she added.

    Also in his court documents, Luis alleged that Vanessa had told Kim she was going to “milk” their past relationship “for everything it’s worth,” and had made friends with other RHONJ cast members in hopes that her attacks on him and his wife “would succeed.”

    Jackie Goldschneider, 48, was among those Vanessa befriended during the time she spent on the outs with Teresa.

    “Based on my observations and interactions with Ms. Reiser, I believe that her actions and statements are in direct violation of the terms of the Consent Order between her and Mr. Ruelas. Her conduct, as it pertained to me, had been consistent and aimed at disparaging Mr. Ruelas,” Jackie later told the court.

    Luis went on to say that Vanessa had slammed him as narcissistic on a podcast and said Teresa was being “fed” false information, indicating that “mind control” had played a role.

    “Due to Reiser’s defamatory conduct, I have lost significant business opportunities and suffered economic damages, as several individuals have chosen not to do business with me,” Luis said in his declaration. “The impact of Reiser’s statements has been deeply damaging, affecting my personal life, my relationship with my wife and children and my professional reputation.”

    While Vanessa has denied all wrongdoing, Luis wants her thrown behind bars.

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on pause.

  • ‘RHONJ’ Star Margaret Josephs on If She Met With Luis’ Ex, Why She Won’t Share Proof of Him Contacting Son, and His “Dangerous” Threat Against Her Family, Plus Hypocrisy Claims, Danielle Doubling Down

    Margaret Josephs opened up about her communication with Luis Ruelas‘ ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Reiser, while appearing on Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp‘s podcast on Wednesday.

    While also explaining why she’ll never show proof of Teresa Giudice‘s husband contacting her son and reacting to Luis, 50, wishing suffering upon him, the 57-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star addressed claims of hypocrisy, shared her thoughts on Danielle Cabral, 38, doubling down against Jennifer Aydin, 47, and confirmed her husband Joe Benigno‘s cancer diagnosis.

    After being asked if she ever met with Vanessa on the August 14 episode of Two Ts in a Pod, Margaret revealed, “No.”

    “But I got Vanessa’s phone number. Her attorney asked her to reach out to all of us after the Bo Dietl thing. She had a very big thing happening there. I then called her when I found out about that burn party. I was like, ‘I want to talk to your attorney. Is there something I should know about that came up in the case?’” she explained, noting that she wasn’t named in the case but received a subpoena in 2021.

    Because Margaret has claimed to have proof that Luis reached out to her son at work, many have wondered why she won’t share it.

    “He is a private citizen. He wants nothing to do with this show. I am very protective of my children. They’ve never been on the show. I don’t call them by name,” Margaret shared, adding that Bravo wouldn’t let her talk about the issue as a fact if they hadn’t seen the proof themselves.

    “They saw the proof of it. They know it to be true. They know everything to be factual. I don’t need to prove it to the rest of the world what it is. I’m not gonna do that. It would be inappropriate,” she reasoned. “I think what validates it [even more] to be true is his behavior when he would even mention my child.”

    “It’s horrible,” she continued. “For someone who has never mentioned their children … would I ever bring this up and make up a story like this when I’ve been so protective for, at that point, six years, never have even said that I have a biological child? Does that make any sense?”

    Although some have said that it was hypocritical for Margaret to take offense to Luis’ actions against her son when she told Jennifer that children are “resilient” after exposing Bill Aydin‘s affair, she pointed out that Bill’s infidelity wasn’t going to ruin Jennifer’s kids lives.

    “They’ve come together. They’re a wonderful couple. I don’t even get along with Jennifer anymore because of other things that have since happened but Bill’s a wonderful father, they know their father’s loving. They’ve seen their parents work it out and that’s why I said they’re resilient,” she explained. “[Luis is] actually wishing harm on my family. It’s actually dangerous. Because unfortunately, he is igniting, you know, there are sick people in this world and they can have fans that are… and that can be igniting people to do very harmful things.”

    “Why even bring that up? Why even bring up my child?” she wondered.

    Looking back at filming on the RHONJ finale watch party, which aired as an alternative to the canceled reunion, Margaret said she and her castmates filmed for “most of the day.”

    “I wish you would’ve seen more confessional because we all had much longer confessionals,” she shared.

    As for the future of the show, Margaret admitted she doesn’t know where the series goes from here.

    “It changes every day. I feel like I don’t know. I really don’t know. Sometimes I think, the bonds, you saw our room was so happy. We don’t need all happy but we can argue and make up,” she noted.

    Then, when asked about Danielle doubling down against Jennifer, stating that her only regret about their fight was “not killing” her, Margaret admitted she wished Danielle “didn’t say that.”

    “I was like, ‘Danielle, that’s Staten Island,’ cuz I really love Danielle but I think she realized so many things when she was so upset … I think it all came into her head that Jennifer was the one putting those things out online about her. Everything became a reality to her. Like, ’They were never my friends. They were doing these horrible things.’ I think it just like, overwhelmed her,” Margaret explained.

    Also, on the podcast, Margaret confirmed her husband Joe has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, sharing that because his cancer is in the “very early stages,” he only has to get checked every four or five months.

    “[They] do genomic testing now and his is very slow growing, like 97%. So they treat it now with active surveillance,” she revealed. “They don’t do any treatment unless it changes and his has not changed at all so we’re lucky.”

  • Luis Ruelas Claims Ex Vanessa “Leaked” Confidential Info About Him and Teresa to RHONJ Cast as He Demands $5 Million in Damages, Plus He Celebrates 50th Birthday, See Pic

    Luis Ruelas Claims Ex Vanessa “Leaked” Confidential Info About Him and Teresa to RHONJ Cast as He Demands $5 Million in Damages, Plus He Celebrates 50th Birthday, See Pic

    Luis Ruelas is accusing ex-fiancée Vanessa Reiser of leaking confidential information about him and his wife, Teresa Giudice, to the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.

    While responding to a lawsuit filed against him in February by attorney Kevin Johnson, a witness in Vanessa’s restraining order case against him, Luis, 49, who celebrated his milestone birthday on Sunday, suggested that he lost his job and suffered emotional distress as a result of Vanessa’s alleged antics against him and Teresa, 51, and demanded $5 million in damages.

    In court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun on April 19, Luis, along with fellow defendants, including Bo Dietl, 73, a private investigator, fired back at the claims of Kevin and his firm, Johnson Litigation Group, who suggested Luis, Bo, and others had launched an abuse and harassment campaign against Vanessa, and accused him of hacking computers to dig up dirt on her.

    In their response, it was stated that Luis believed Kevin and the firm used “unlawful and egregious misconduct,” “breached their ethical obligations,” and “slandered” him, and that he felt Vanessa, a psychotherapist, attempted to create drama for him and Teresa on RHONJ by gossiping to the cast.

    “Ruelas believed Reiser was disclosing confidential information to patients and cast members of [RHONJ] to use against him and his wife, in an attempt to bolster the colloque of the show and continue the relentless campaign of harassment, despite existing orders precluding this type of conduct,” the filing stated.

    It also accused Kevin of fabricating emails “under fake names/personas” to “damage Ruelas’ chances in the court of law, stir controversy, and create reality TV content,” and suggested that Kevin and Vanessa had a “peculiar interest in certain RHONJ cast members” and an “obsession with Ruelas and RHONJ.”

    “The court found that Johnson had a bizarre infatuation with the cast members of RHONJ; that of which is upon information and belief the basis for the continued media blitz and false and misleading statements made therein,” the documents explained, noting that emails were supposedly sent to Luis’ adversary with intent to damage him “both economically and personally” and “make for good Reality TV.”

    While it was not confirmed whether the information Vanessa allegedly passed on would be featured on season 14, the trailer hinted at potential financial struggles plaguing Luis and his wife. And according to Luis’ court documents, he felt his reputation was “damaged beyond repair” — no matter what was and will be shown.

    As he explained, he runs “a company on a global scale” and potential clients have seen things online about him, causing him to “[suffer] economic injury and mental anguish,” such as losing his job and “business opportunities.”

    Luis also claims to have sustained additional damages, including attorney’s fees, and “humiliation, severe anxiety, and emotional distress.”

    Luis is suing for “breach of implied covenant of trust and confidence; negligence; Res Ispa Loquitor; abuse of process; declaratory judgment against Johnson; Libel Per Se and violation of Judiciary Law 487,” per The U.S. Sun, and requesting the court award him punitive damages “in an amount to be determined at trial, but in no event less than [$]5,000,000,” plus attorneys’ fees.

    After the filing of the countersuit, Luis’ lawyer, Jeremy Iandolo, told The U.S. Sun, “The relentless and baseless assaults by Johnson towards my client Ruelas have inflicted significant harm, both economic and emotionally.”

    “As such, we refuse to halt our defense and will continue our attack until Mr. Ruelas is fully vindicated, made whole and can live his life in peace, free from unwarranted attacks of Johnson and Reiser, whom seem more interested in pursuing their own distorted version of fame,” he concluded.

    In other Luis Ruelas news, the RHONJ cast member celebrated his 50th birthday, which is on Tuesday, over the weekend with Teresa and their families, including Teresa’s oldest daughter, Gia Giudice, 23, who shared an Instagram Story post of him blowing out his candles on his 50-shaped cake.
