Bethenny Frankel Says It’s ‘Smart’ If Louie Ruelas Hired a PI to Investigate RHONJ Cast: He’s ‘Fighting Fire With Fire’

Bravo stars Bethenny Frankel, Teresa Giudice, and Louie Ruelas

Bethenny Frankel fully supports Louie Ruelas hiring a private investigator to look into the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.

On a recent episode of Bethenny’s Rewives podcast, the former Bravo star discussed the latest drama affecting the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.

At the recent RHONJ reunion, several cast members accused Louie Ruelas of hiring Bo Dietl to investigate them. Louie was also accused of creating smear campaigns against several RHONJ cast members. He denied both allegations but admitted to hiring Bo Dietl to investigate someone from his past that is currently stalking and harassing him and his wife, Teresa Giudice.

Bo Dietl has also denied ever doing any investigations on the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.

Now, the Real Housewives of New York alum is weighing on the claims, and you might be surprised to hear whose side Bethenny is on.

According to Bethenny, it’s “brilliant” if Louie Ruelas did actually hire a PI to investigate the RHONJ cast.

“I think it’s really, really smart. Never has there been a group of people that hide information more than the Housewives,” she explained, noting that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any skeletons in your closet.

“I wouldn’t care. I’ve actually had someone — an ex of mine — do it on me, and had me followed and recorded and hack my email, to come up with nothing,” Bethenny continued.

The Bravolebrity added, “I think it’s brilliant that Louie did that.” She noted that Louie is “fighting fire with fire.”

“He’s saying, ‘I walked into this, and everybody’s got s**t on me, so I’m getting s**t on everybody.’ I think it’s f**king genius,” she quipped.

Did she watch the show? Louis was the only person that was hiring PIs to investigate cast members. How’s that fighting fire with fire? Thanks

Love how the article says he was accused...he is the one who first said he did it!

I wonder how she would feel if one of her co-worker's spouses had an investigation on her life. Karma already knocked her door with her fucked up face.

Bethenny is completely unfiltered these days and truly does not GAF about Bravo, let alone pissing off her (tv) friend, Asswipe Andy. I think it all changed when he and Jeff Lewis ambushed her during her last (and probably final) appearance on WWHL.

B has a point. Fight fire with fire.

How is this fighting fire with fire? No one hired a PI to investigate Rue La Liar, all the info that is known about him is public, and some made public by him. His videos, his road rage arrest, the four domestic violence calls involving him and his ex-wife, etc. etc. Rue La Liar's just pissed that he doesn't have as much dirt on everyone else.

All of the rumors and gossip spread and discussed about Lou, without defense is fire. So IF he did it, that would be his cause.
book7175 June 30, 2023 - 3:03 pm
Without defense? He could have defended himself at any time, but he chose to lie about much. And the rumors and gossip were all over the internet, if the same stuff was floating around on the internet about any of the others the felon and Rue La Liar would be talking about it. Teresa spread the Evan cheating rumor, and the Melissa cheating rumor so she's no innocent.
Ross June 30, 2023 - 7:35 pm
There’s many rumors about Jackie/Evan, Melissa/ Joe, and Marge that aren’t discussed on the show. Why? No one cares about them. And I’m sorry I don’t know who Felon and Rue La Liar are.

Like what? And I'm sure there's plenty more shady stuff in Luis "Rue La Liar" Ruelas's past that hasn't even been touched on yet. He's one slimy con man.
Ross July 1, 2023 - 10:33 am
Too many to mention, they’re housewives and househusbands. If you think they’re isn’t any rumors about any of them with the exception of Louie you’re kidding yourself. Luis past let’s see, let’s start with the 10 year marriage to the mother of his children who has nothing bad to say about him. Let’s talk about how he took a private company public which is something only an elite number of companies have the privilege to do. With all the information about him in the blogs you better believe if something credible were there it would’ve come out.

There are rumors about a lot of people but none has hired a PI to get dirt and revenge. First, Louie the liar said on air that he would bury Melissa and Joe, then he said he didn't mean it. He said he wears nonno's pajamas, then he says he didn't he "misspoke" he was wearing his sweats. Then he says twice on air Bo Diddley had investigated the cast, and he had files on everyone, then he says he didn't and has no files. He's shown on video apologizing to a woman, and asking her to marry him and then when asked to explain the video he says he was breaking up with her. How can anyone believe this man or take him seriously. He needs to stop lying, and exaggerating or shut up, he's brought all this upon himself.

Right…. Jennifer’ husband’s affair was investigated by Large Marge and brought on the show. Jennifer wasn’t responsible for the affair but was blamed for it. What kind of shitty human being blames the wife for her husband’s affair? Oh yes, a Large Marge stan would.
book7175 July 1, 2023 - 4:39 pm
Who's a Large Marge Stan? Did I say anything about Marge. Reading is fundamental.
I'm Not Batman July 1, 2023 - 4:48 pm
The only people to claim he’s a liar are Margaret and her tiny brained stans. “Reading is fundamental” was a pathetic defense answer. Good job!
book7175 July 1, 2023 - 4:51 pm
Hilarious, no one needs to claim he's a liar, they just need to watch the show where he proves it. I wear nonnno's pajamas, no I don't. I have had the cast investigated and have files, uh no I didn't . He's shown on video apologizing to a woman and asking her to marry him, but says he was breaking up with her. The man is a liar and everyone knows it except his dumb wife and you I guess.

We went from glam squads to arsenals. Marge started something she can't finish.
NikkiJax June 30, 2023 - 11:30 am
Marge does what every other Housewives do so don't go blaming this on her!
Ross June 30, 2023 - 2:28 pm
Marge is a snake of the worst caliber. She would sell her soul if it guaranteed another season on the housewives.
