Teresa Giudice’s Daughter Gia Pulled Into Stepdad Louie Ruelas’ Court Battle With Ex Vanessa Reiser

Teresa Giudice’s family life has once again been affected by off-screen drama, this time involving her husband, Louie Ruelas, and his ex-fiancée Vanessa Reiser. While Teresa focuses on her marriage and family, Louie is dealing with ongoing legal challenges stemming from Reiser’s continued disparagement and troubling conduct.

Louie Ruelas, 50, recently filed court documents accusing Vanessa Reiser of violating a 2020 agreement in which both agreed not to harm or disparage each other. However, Louie says Reiser has repeatedly broken that deal, going as far as reaching out to family, bloggers, and RHONJ cast members to spread negative remarks about him and Teresa.

One particularly concerning allegation, reported by US Weekly, is that Reiser has involved Teresa’s daughter Gia Giudice by following her on Instagram and “making her presence known,” which Louie says caused “uncomfortable feelings and emotions for a young girl.” Given that Gia was never part of Louie’s previous relationship with Reiser, this behavior crosses a clear line of professionalism and respect.

Louie’s filing highlights the emotional toll on the entire family, stating the situation causes “daily emotional distress” for him, Teresa, and their children, despite Reiser never having met them.

RHONJ alum Jackie Goldschneider, who once had her own conflicts with Teresa and Louie, backed Louie’s claims in court. She stated that based on her interactions with Reiser, the latter’s actions violated the agreement and were “aimed at disparaging Mr. Ruelas.”

Louie also pointed to a podcast where Reiser described him as a “narcissistic partner” and interviews where she suggested Teresa was under “mind control,” showing a pattern of inflammatory and unfounded statements.

The filings make clear that Reiser’s conduct has had serious consequences for Louie, including the loss of a six-figure business opportunity. Louie said:

“The impact of Reiser’s statements has been deeply damaging, affecting my personal life, my relationship with my wife and children and my professional reputation.”

Reiser has denied violating the non-disparagement agreement and dismissed concerns about Gia, saying the young woman could simply block or report her if she felt uncomfortable online. This dismissive attitude overlooks the fact that Gia is not involved in any prior dispute, and the ongoing attention from Reiser seems unnecessary and unprofessional.

Meanwhile, Teresa and Gia continue focusing on their lives outside of the drama. Teresa and Louie recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary with heartfelt tributes to each other, showing the strength of their relationship despite the outside noise.

Gia could have blocked this woman at any time so the accusation that it caused “uncomfortable feelings and emotions for a young girl.” is pretty weak. And that young girl has put herself front and center in much of her mother's business, and she is an adult so she has put herself in the line of fire.

Sure she could’ve but the point is that whacko should leave others alone . She clearly has mental issues . I’m sure if it were Antonia some of you would’ve lost your poop . No one’s crazy ass old enough to know better ex, should be following, stalking, creeping on new partner, family , friends and to add , cast mates should know better to befriend said crazy but then they’d have nothing to badger Teresa about or her daughters . Cringe behavior , just my opinion .

Sorry but she's living with a man who is as toxic as his ex and makes disturbing videos of himself begging his ex to take him back but then lies and says he was breaking up with her as if people can't see and hear the video. And who has his PI send fake patients to his ex's practice to spy on her. She's living with a man who has alienated his wife and her dorters from his wife's side of the family, and has had a PI investigate his wife's brother and most of the cast. And she's lving with a man who says he wears Nonno's pajamas to make her feel safe and warm, creepy and crazy. So if she's not disturbed by all that I hardly believe she's disturbed by someone following her on Instagram.
