RHONJ: John Fuda tells Louie Ruelas to 'apologize like a man' for cast investigations

John Fuda ain't playing.

Fuda, husband of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” cast member Rachel Fuda, was not receptive to shaking the hand of Louie Ruelas, husband of Teresa Giudice, unless Louie apologized to him for hiring detectives to dig up dirt on him and his ex-wife.

John, of Franklin Lakes, and the Fuda Tile stores doubled down on the charge earlier on the Tuesday, June 13 “Real Housewives” Season 13 third-and-final reunion special.

“If you want to be my friend you'll admit to it because I know you did,” John said.

“Investigate you?” Louie said. “I can't admit that.”

“Apologize like a man,” John countered. “You found (Fuda's ex-wife) in jail, brought her out and this is what you did. So if you're going to come to me, apologize and (blanking) own it.”

Rachel said the ex-wife, the mother of her stepson, was contacted in prison in the middle of her adoption process of the boy.

“I happen to know a private investigator reached out, you can't just contact somebody in prison,” said John earlier in the show. “Those people happen to use a number to look up people in the system. That number was traced back to the people of Bo Dietl and I found out they were hired by him.”

“So take it up with Bo Dietl,” Louie said.

Dietl, a former New York City police detective, was previously tabbed by the Fox News Channel to investigate employees who had alleged sexual harassment at the network, according to the Wall Street Journal. Louie initially said Dietl had dirt on the entire “RHONJ” cast, but subsequently denied he hired Deitl, whom he calls a friend.

Rachel added that Dietl sat next to her and cast member Melissa Gorga when they went to dinner together.

“What are the odds of that happening?” Rachel.

Host Andy Cohen then stated that the production received a call from Louie's bodyguard. Louie said the bodyguard was hired by Dietl, and then that somehow led cast member Margaret Josephs into the equation.

“You were speaking to the person who's harassing him, right babe?” said Teresa to Margaret, then to Louie for affirmation.

So Louie is investigating at least one cast member. Charges, counter-charges and nasty recriminations followed.

“You're a women abuser, brother, that's what you are. That's why I don't respect you,” said Joey Gorga to Louie.

“That's not true,” Louie said.

“He treats me (blanking) amazing,” Teresa said.

“You're going to meet your match one day — you are going to meet your match one day,” Louie said.

Joey Gorga, with help from Frank Catania, denied that he helped put Teresa's first husband, Joe Giudice, in jail.

“I was Joe's attorney at the time,” said Frank, ex-husband of cast member Dolores Catania. “We were contacted by the FBI in West Paterson. Joe was asked to come down to discuss — not Teresa, they just said Joe Giudice. There was no hesitation. Joe never showed up and never said a word.”

There were no she/he goes or I go ultimatums delivered on the episode. Teresa, who married Louie during the season, said she wants peace and to close the door, which could be interpreted in a number of ways.

“I feel the hate — you see it, it's clear,” said Melissa to Teresa. Melissa and her husband didn't attend Teresa and Louie's wedding. “I could never please her. I never could from day one. Whatever I did, it was wrong and obviously some things never change. I do love you, no matter what you think and I'll go with the flow.”
