Teresa Del Giudice Arrested for DUI

In a recent episode of "Real Housewives of New Jersey," Teresa Giudice, accompanied by her attorney James Leonard, revealed that fellow cast member Josephs has allegedly been involved in the legal troubles of Vanessa Reiser. Giudice claimed that Josephs, 57, was in communication with Reiser's ex-partner, Louie Ruelas, during the ongoing restraining order case against him. In October 2023, Ruelas achieved a legal victory when Reiser's request for a permanent restraining order was denied. Reiser, 51, faced multiple charges following an incident where she was pulled over by police after reportedly consuming two drinks. She was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence, reckless driving, and refusing to take a breath test, among other offenses. Her court hearing, originally scheduled for August 8, 2024, has been postponed, with discovery for the case now due next month. Reiser's attorney contended that the police checkpoint was unconstitutional, violating her Fourth Amendment rights. During the episode, Giudice expressed her distress over the ongoing legal battles, stating that Ruelas has been in court with his ex for three years. The tension within the group was palpable, with cast member Cabral noting that Giudice appeared to be a "shell" of her former self due to the chaos surrounding her. Josephs admitted to speaking with Ruelas' ex and disclosed that Reiser sought information about Ruelas from another cast member, Jackie Goldschneider. As the future of the show remains uncertain, sources indicate that filming may resume in 2025, though it is unclear whether the cast will undergo significant changes.
