Is Anyone On The Real Housewives Of New Jersey Not A Criminal?

Legally speaking, things are not going so well for the Real Housewives of New Jersey. We all know That Joe Giudice is basically a huge crook, right? I can’t even keep track of what he’s done, but each charge I’ve heard of seems to relate back to fraud somehow. Forgery on legal documents, driving with a fake driver’s license…and let’s not forget all the fights and the DUIs, plus the fact that he seems to owe half of New Jersey money. Essentially, he’s a catch. You stand by your man, Teresa – not like those icky feminist Jews, right?  Ahem.


We also remember last year, when my absolute favorite person in the world (cough) Ashley Holmes had some legal troubles for “assault” and “harassment” or something, which really just meant she Facebook bullied Danielle Staub and then pulled her weave out at a fashion show. As much as I loathe Ashley, I have to admit…that shit was funny. Just for fun, let’s watch it!


I think my favorite part is at the end, where people are trying to pull Ashley away, but laughing at the same time. Why? Because that shit was funny.

Anyway, it seems like criminal activity runs in the family and this time it’s a little less amusing. Today Radar Online broke the story that Ashley’s birth father (and Jacqueline Laurita’s ex-husband) John Madison “Matt” Holmes was arrested in Texas for arson, fraud and money laundering. His wife – you remember, the one who looked like a retired stripper? She was arrested as well.  

According Radar Online, they are being investigated by the FBI for allegedly burning down their own home back in March. The couple received $429,000 in insurance money, and the whole this is super sketchy. Like the fact that they let it burn for more than a half-hour before even calling in the Fire Department? And now a witness has come forward saying they know Matt did it himself? Ummm, yeah.  Sounds pretty sketchy to me. Then again, this dude had to be sketchy. Did you see that scar on his head? You don't get that from playing tennis, ya know? Naturally, some major purchases since the fire have been a $40,000 diamond ring and some plastic surgery. At least they didn’t buy Ashley another car.
