Drama on and off the small screen. The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Margaret Josephs And Rachel Foeda share their thoughts Luis “Louie” Ruelasex fiancé Vanessa Reiser‘s recent restraining order against him.

“If she feels like she needs to protect herself, then she should do what she thinks is right,” 32-year-old Fuda said exclusively. Us weekly at the City of Hope’s Spirit of Life Award Luncheon at The Plaza in NYC on Thursday, June 8.

Reiser’s attorney, Douglas Anthonytold exclusively Us on Wednesday, June 7, that Ruelas, 48 — who tied the knot with Teresa Guidice in August 2022 – reportedly hired an undercover factory via Richard ‘Bo’ Dietl“to stalk, harass, and otherwise pose under false pretenses as a “patient” of my client in an attempt to “harass” Reiser, who is a licensed therapist specializing in narcissistic abuse.

Given that Ruelas and Dietl, 72, have a history and friendship together, Fuda said she was “not surprised” Reiser found out her fake patient was reportedly someone who worked for the detective agency.

Josephs, 56, chimed in saying: “I think it’s telling that Bo Dietl is now admitting he worked for Luis.” She added: “I think it’s a sad turn of events, that’s all I can say. It is pathetic.”

Ruelas did not immediately respond Usrequest for comment, while Dietl – who previously denied being hired by the Bravo personality to perform Giudice’s RHONJ costars – narrated Page six earlier this week that the possible hiring of a private investigator is confidential.

“As far as [Ruelas] hired us for possible private investigations, that’s confidential [sic]Dietl said.

Anton told Us on Wednesday that Ruelas must “fall on his own sword, save his friend’s reputation as a private investigator, protect this young female employee from having her credibility destroyed and admit that he did so, provide a legal, non-intimidating reason give why and his lawyer must have communicate that to my office.

He continued: “I will then discuss it with my client and if it is reasonable and she feels comfortable enough with the reason to allay her fears of this harassment and harassment, even if she doesn’t like that he did it , I will recommend that she dismiss the TRO and that this matter can be concluded peacefully for all parties.”

Prior to news of Reiser’s restraining order, Ruelas was named in a harassment lawsuit against his company, Digital Media Solutions. According to court documents obtained by Us last month, called a woman Juanita Williams is suing the company for receiving multiple telemarketing calls despite being on their “Do Not Call” registry.

Williams also claimed that upon answering one of the calls in September 2022, she was directed to an insurance agent who allegedly told her that the company had generated her number as a potential sales lead. She’s seeking $1,500 per call. Ruelas and Giudice did not respond to the lawsuit or our request for comment at the time.
