NJ ‘Housewives’ star Staub says extensions pulled by castmate’s daughter

WAYNE, N.J. — Hair, or more precisely a hair extension, will play a pivotal part in the new season of Bravo TV’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

Cast member Danielle Staub’s attorney told a municipal court judge in Wayne Thursday that his client wanted to drop complaints that castmates Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita cursed, threatened and chased her.

But Staub wants the daughter of one of the women held accountable for what she says was a fight at a fashion show last month.

Staub said Laurita’s 19-year-old daughter, Ashley Holmes, threatened her and ripped out a hair extension.

“I’m just a little afraid, to be honest with you,” Staub told the judge, reports NorthJersey.com.

Staub’s complaint claims Giudice and Laurita yelled, pushed and scratched Staub at a Nov. 11 fashion show at the Hamburg Turnpike country club.

Staub said she was scared and ran out of the country club to hide in the parking lot. Once her bodyguard discovered her and began to carry her back to her car, that’s when Holmes appeared, says Staub.

Staub alleges Holmes then threatened, “I’ll get her” and “I’ll kill you” before tugging on Staub’s hair and ripping out one of her extensions.

The judge issued a summons against Holmes on charges of harassment and simple assault.

Holmes told police she pulled Staub’s hair because she thought she saw Staub hit her mother, but Laurita, a former best friend to Staub, denies the altercation.

The fashion show and court hearing were both taped for the upcoming season of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

Staub emerged as the controversial, odd-woman-out when her Jersey castmates read about her sordid past in “Cop Without a Badge,” a novel penned by a former flame of Staub’s.

Staub was arrested in 1986 on charges of extortion, kidnapping and drug possession and worked as a paid escort and as a stripper.
