Who knew that Jaqueline’s been arrested for domestic battery and that a former friend is insisting that yes, Jacqueline was most definitely a stripper in Vegas?
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita has a very interesting past. While she maintains that she never worked as a stripper in Las Vegas prior to meeting her husband Chris Laurita, a former friend of hers alleges that Jacqueline definitely did. And, while in Vegas, Jacqueline was slammed with a domestic battery charge for abusing her then live-in boyfriend.
“She was a stripper at a Las Vegas club called Glitter Gulch,” the friend tells In Touch magazine. “She worked there from 1992 to 1993. Like all strip clubs, it was an awful place.”
Jacqueline was struggling to provide as a single mother after getting divorced. “She was very young, she was newly divorced, and she was a single mother,” explains the friend.
In 1996, life took a turn for the worse when Jacqueline was arrested on a domestic battery charge after she “slapped” her boyfriend at the time “in the face and punched him in the groin,” according to a police report In Touch obtained.
“She go into an argument with her boyfriend because he came home later than he should have,” reads the report. “She no longer wanted to speak to [him], so she went into the bedroom.”
The report says that Jacqueline claimed that her boyfriend “would not leave her alone and kept wanting to talk about why she was angry.”

Who cares if Jacquelin Laurita was a stripper or not before she appeared on tv. Sounds like someone just wants to make some money by selling a story. I like Jacqueline no matter what.

I’ll be disappointed to see J leave. Every1 has a past, good or bad it’s what is happening now and new decisions that matter. Xxx

Jacqueline really adds nothing to the show at all. She may have been a stripper at one time but she acts like a whiny rich woman who has nothing to do with her life. She doesn’t work or have any career but lives off her husband and doesn’t act like she’s got any common sense but apparently thinks that money gives her power over others. Her daughter is one mess and now we can see where that idiot behavior comes from. Seems that Chris, her husband, has common sense and has tried to be a good dad to Ashley who is just a spoiled rich kid who has no sense at all. Time for her to grow up and her mom too!

I knew little Ms. goody-goody was too good to be true. She knew the sh/t would hit the fan on her sooner or later and THAT is why she’s quitting! Things are starting to come out about her and her husband, and now she doesn’t want to face the music. Instead of leaving quietly, she starts twitter wars. She needs to just leave. She adds nothing of value to the show anyway. Melissa Gorga is another one I knew something was off about and look what we learned about her – and only after one season….these housewives shows are better than the soaps of years past.

I see now where her psycho daughter got her anger and violence problems. As they say–the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!!
