Bo Dietl is pushing back against what he describes as “nonsense” and “total lies” purported by Luis Ruelas during the 13th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

In a dramatic moment during the season finale, Luis, 50, alleged that Bo, 74, had provided him with “information on each person” in the cast, claiming the private investigator had insider “dirt about everybody.” However, Bo clarified that although Teresa Giudice’s husband did request his assistance, it was unrelated to the reality show.

Speaking to Radar Online on October 27, Bo explained, “Luis asked me to do something for him — it had nothing to do with the show. I like Teresa and Luis personally, but I’ve never done background work on the cast. The idea that ‘Bo has dirt on everyone’ is pure nonsense. Total lies.”

Bo further recounted, “Luis shouted… ‘I got Bo Dietl!’ suggesting I had information on everyone. It’s all nonsense. I told him, ‘Don’t throw my name around unless you’re hiring me.’ If you pay, I will do it legally,” he asserted.

“Luis yelled… ‘I got Bo Dietl!’ claiming I had dirt on everyone. All nonsense. I told him, ‘Don’t throw my name around unless you’re hiring me.’ If you pay, I will do it legally,” he continued.

While Luis eventually admitted that his claims about Bo and the supposed information he gathered were “misstated … out of anger” at the reunion, the drama was “too much nonsense” for Bo.

“I deal with real life – killings, threats, kidnappings, corporate investigations. Luis throwing my name out there with ‘dirt on everyone’ is embarrassing,” Bo explained. “People think I did background investigation work on the cast. Never happened. I’ve been a homicide detective, a businessman, and a private investigator for decades, and I know the difference between real work and nonsense TV drama.”

In addition to being dragged into the drama of RHONJ, Bo also found himself named in a February 2024 lawsuit that accused him, Luis, and others of hacking into computers to “harass and abuse” Luis’ ex, Vanessa Reiser.

“I never hacked anyone’s computers,” Bo insisted. “There’s absolutely no evidence because it never happened. I’ve spent over 40 years in law enforcement and private investigations, and people love to throw my name around to create drama or get attention. It’s embarrassing. If this goes to court, I’ll be there. I’ve got nothing to hide.”

“All the drama, all the nonsense from reality shows or the media? Forget it. Real life is about love, family, friends, and enjoying the life you’ve built together. That’s what counts,” he concluded.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on hiatus ahead of its 15th season.
