Overview

• Ruelas filed a court declaration asking a judge to hold Reiser in contempt of a 2020 consent order that bars the parties from disparaging each other.
• He alleges Reiser reached out to family members, bloggers and RHONJ cast members and posted defamatory content, and he says she followed Gia Giudice on Instagram in a way that made her uncomfortable.
• Ruelas says the conduct caused daily emotional distress for his household and led to lost business opportunities, including a six-figure role.
• He asked the court to jail Reiser over the alleged breaches, and RHONJ alum Jackie Goldschneider submitted a statement saying Reiser’s conduct targeted Ruelas in violation of the order.
• Reiser denies wrongdoing, disputes the Instagram screenshot as evidence, argues Gia could block or report any unwanted contact, and the court has not ruled on the contempt request.
