RHONJ Reunion: Margaret, Rachel say Louie's detectives are watching them on 'Housewives'

Like the Hall and Oates song, private eyes are watching them.

Two "Housewives" claimed that Teresa Giudice's new husband, Louie Ruelas, hired a private investigator to get dirt on them. Both Margaret Josephs and Rachel Fuda said they had family members contacted by Louie's detectives on the June 6 “Real Housewives of New Jersey” reunion special on Bravo.

Rachel said the mother of her stepson was contacted in the middle of her adoption process of the boy.

“Watching the season back, it definitely makes sense,” Rachel said. “(Louie's) screaming the private investigator's name at us.”

Louie apparently showed his hand on the May 16 season finale.

“Bo Dietl, who's like one of the most famous private investigators in the country — one of my best friends — brought me information on each person in this group,” Louie said. “There's so much more. I didn't get to where I am by accident. I surround myself with really successful people.”

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.

Margaret said that her child was contacted and threatened at work by a detective hired by Louie.

“I would never hire a private investigator,” Margaret said.

“You don't have the money to,” Teresa said.

“So he has the money to hire people to hurt us — great (blanking) catch that you got there,” said Melissa Gorga. “All you need to do is have money to be more evil.”

Much of Tuesday's show deteriorated into an unintelligible shouting match between Melissa and Teresa.

“Namaste, namaste, namaste, if I could find the namaste I'd stick it right up my (blank),” said Melissa, deriding Teresa's foray into Hindu spirituality.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Fessler, who was sporting a new look thanks to plastic surgery, said she was surprised at the reaction she received when she revealed she had slept with the late actor James Gandolfini in the '90s.

“I was surprised at how offended people were,” Jennifer said. “I didn't know it was so shocking to think that I slept with James Gandolfini. I wasn't always this old hag. I was in my 20s, I was hot.”

Viewers were upset that Gandolfini “couldn't defend himself for having slept with the old hag,” said Jennifer, 52.

Jackie Goldschneider, who went from Housewife to friend status this season, is doing well in her battle against anorexia. She's just written a book on her plight, “The Weight of Beautiful.”

“Writing the book was important for me and important for my recovery,” Jackie said.

Next week, the husbands come out on the concluding reunion episode.

“I'm worried because it's, like, so emotional,” said host Andy Cohen backstage to Louie. “I just don't want it to get physical. I'm the first line in there and I'm going to get (blank) beaten up.”
