WWHL: Teresa Giudice defends Louie Ruelas for allowing private investigator to dig up information

Teresa Giudice defended her husband Luis “Louie” Ruelas for allowing a private investigator to dig up information about their group and then denied doing so on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live on Bravo.

The 50-year-old star of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey stood up for Louie, 48, while playing a game called ‘Can You Defend Him?’ with host Andy Cohen, 54, snubbing several questionable actions from Louie.

“Can you defend Louie by allowing his friend Bo Dietl to dig up dirt on everyone in your group?” Andy asked, referring to the 72-year-old famed private investigator.

“Yes,” Teresa replied, wearing a gold gown with a plunging neckline as Louie licked his lips as he sat nearby in the audience.

Andy said there would be more on the subject in the upcoming season 13 reunion.

Teresa and fellow guest Leslie Bibb, 48, later played a round of ‘Do! You! Believe it!?’ with Andy focusing on RHONJ rumours.

“Do you believe Louie really hired a PI to investigate all the wives and husbands in the group?” Andy asked.

“I have a feeling he might have,” Leslie said.

“No,” Teresa replied as Louie smiled into the audience.

Andy later relayed a question from a viewer asking Teresa why everyone says Margaret Josephs, 56, has an “arsenal” of information on the cast when Louie hired a private investigator to oversee the cast.

“That’s a good question,” Andy remarked.

‘He didn’t. Why would he waste his money?” Teresa said.

Andy noted that during the season finale, Louie bragged that Bo Dietl was one of his best friends and had given him “information about every single person in this group”.

“I know he said it because he was frustrated,” Teresa said.

Andy asked if he just made it “out of the blue” and Teresa insisted he was just talking.

“You just said it?” Andy asked Louie.

‘Yes. I was at the end of my tether. It’s been a long season, frustrating,” said Louie.

“I mean, that’s kind of amazing to come up with out of the blue,” Andy said.

‘That’s pretty much it, isn’t it? I’m sorry, though,’ Louie said with a laugh.

Andy told Teresa that she just defended him about it.

“Yes,” she said.

Frustration speaking: “I know he said it because he was frustrated,” Teresa said

‘Do you know how much that costs? How many people are on the cast. Do you think we want to waste our money on that? No. I’d rather he waste his money on me,’ Teresa added with a laugh.

Louie claimed during the season finale during an argument with Joe and Melissa Gorga at an Irish-themed party that “Bo Dietl knows everything about everyone in this room.”

He later claimed at Teresa’s home that he told Joe about a rumor that Melissa was cheating on him so he could get ahead of it.

“Like, Bo Dietl, one of the most famous private investigators in the country, one of my best friends, has given me information about every single person in this group. There’s so much more,” Louie said.

“You know, I didn’t get where I got by accident, but I surround myself with really successful people,” Louie continued as he discussed getting information from Bo.

Andy during the round of ‘Do! You! Believe it!?’ asked if Teresa had replaced her own family with Louie’s.

“I think she might have. She needs a family,’ Leslie replied.

“I haven’t replaced them, but they’re great,” Teresa said.

Teresa and Louie got married last August, while her brother Joe and sister-in-law Melissa skipped the wedding.
