Teresa Giudice's husband, Luis Ruelas, shared a cryptic message on Instagram following a new lawsuit against him.
Earlier this week, a group of lawyers sued him and private investigator Bo Dietl for allegedly hacking computers to “harass and abuse” his former fiancée, Vanessa Reiser.
Hours before the allegations became public, the 48-year-old Bronx native shared an inspirational quote about surrounding yourself with the right people.
“Be the energy you want to attract.” “Your mood attracts your tribe,” reads the post, uploaded to his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

According to documents obtained by Page Six earlier this week, Ruelas and Dietl, 73, were accused of illegally accessing “sensitive information.” [the lawyers’] System.'
Although Reiser was not specifically named, one of the plaintiffs, Kevin Johnson, confirmed to The Daily Beast that she was “the person in question.”
The lawyers accused the two of obtaining the information “with criminal, reckless, malicious, fraudulent intent.”
The lawsuit alleges that Ruelas and Dietl “hacked into computers to dig up information about Reiser.”
Last year, Reiser claimed that the Real Housewives of New Jersey star's other half hired a private investigator to “stalk” her, according to Page Six.
Ruelas' ex – a New Jersey licensed therapist who specializes in narcissistic abuse – believes one of her patients was hired to “spy” on her.
Reiser's attorney, Douglas Anton, told the publication that in each session the patient asked about the therapist's previous relationship with Ruelas, whom she dated from 2018 to 2020.
Suspicious questions included: “If [Ruelas] Would you leave his wife and have any regrets…would you want to be with him?'
Earlier this week, a group of lawyers sued him and private investigator Bo Dietl for allegedly hacking computers to “harass and abuse” his former fiancée, Vanessa Reiser.
Some of the other strange questions included “Do you still love Luis?” and “What about your abuser?”
The patient reportedly visited Reiser's office approximately three to four times beginning in February, using a false name.
“It was strange that she kept asking after all this information if Luis ever left his wife and he was unhappy, would she ever take him back,” the lawyer explained.
He also said that Reiser would do her best to “stay away from the topic and not talk about it so much.”
Despite the strange and personal nature of the questions, Reiser wasn't immediately alarmed, as her relationship with Ruelas – who has been married to Giudice since August 2022 – is documented online.
In 2021, Reiser accused Ruelas of “punishing” her if his sexual demands were not met in a lawsuit filed after their split.
“He demanded that I be available for sex whenever he wanted,” she said in court papers. “If I contradicted his demands, Luis Ruelas would punish me.” “He would be angry, withdraw from me and blame me for what happened.”
Reiser initially instructed Anton to file a debt collection application after one of the woman's payments was not received.

However, after the lawyer looked into the matter, his team discovered that the woman was using a false name for the meetings.
Employees then tracked the woman down and discovered a connection between her and private investigator Bo Dietl, whose name fans may recognize from the Bravo reality show when Ruelas referred to him as one of his “best friends” and reportedly gave him “information” about the cast brought.
Dietl publicly denied that he had been hired to investigate any of the housewives and “refused to confirm or deny the allegations regarding Reiser,” according to Page Six.
Reiser's attorney says she is interested in determining the motive behind Ruelas' alleged hiring of a private investigator and has no plans to file criminal charges against him.
'At the moment [Reiser is] worried that it was so [Ruelas behind the woman’s visits] and that he has something up his sleeve or – and again I am guided by the questions – he is dissatisfied with his current situation and wanted to see whether Vanessa would ever give him the time. Because that's how the questions seemed to go.'
He also explained that his client is “extremely happy with her life” and “has a wonderful gentleman in her life,” adding, “She didn't want this at all.”
Meanwhile, another source who spoke to the publication questioned Reiser's motives and spoke about her past of filing restraining orders, including one against Ruelas and an ex-husband.
“This is a woman who has a well-documented history of harassing and denigrating people she has previously had a relationship with,” the insider explained.

“What she continues to do with Louie is what she did with her ex-husband, and that is well documented in existing court orders. “This injunction follows exactly the same pattern.”
Meanwhile, Ruelas' attorney, Christopher A. Errante, denied the allegations made against him in Reiser's restraining order and said he and his client “are eager to be vindicated in court.”
Meanwhile, Giudice's attorney, James Leonard Jr., told Page Six, “Teresa's greatest concern in life is the safety and sanctity of her family.”
“She has a great relationship with Louie's ex-wife, who is the mother of his children, just like Joe Giudice and Louie have a great relationship. “That tells you everything you need to know.”
“Ex-wives and ex-husbands are important, ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends don’t matter in high school anymore.”
