Charges Against 'Real Housewives' Stars Advancing to Grand Jury

Criminal charges against three "Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars and the man who claims they assaulted him at a Ridgewood grand opening is pending a grand jury hearing, according to Bergen County Prosecutor's Office official.

The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office is currently reviewing claims Jacqueline Laurita, her husband Chris Laurita, and Joe Gorga assaulted a Paramus man at the grand opening of clothing boutique Posche II in Ridgewood on March 29, spokeswoman Maureen Parenta said.

Ridgewood Municipal Court Judge David Pfund found enough probable cause to have charges of terroristic threats and assault filed against the reality show trio, who are accused of beating Johnny Karagiorgis. He also found enough probable cause to have charges of terroristic threats, harassment and assault filed against Karagiorgis.

A grand jury date has not yet been scheduled, Parenta said Tuesday.

Karagiorgis, 38, claims his nose was broken during the scuffle, alleging Joe Gorga and Chris Laurita ambushed him, and laid out a barrage of punches. Jacqueline Laurita is alleged to have smashed him in the head with the point of a stiletto during the brawl.

The trio have a different take on how the brawl went down.

The Lauritas claim Karagiorgis is a "stalker" who made disparaging comments about their autistic son, came to the grand opening with a bodyguard and threatened to kill them. Karagiorgis "lunged" at them and Gorga, provoking the fight, they testified earlier this month.

The fight was all captured by the cameras of Bravo, the network that airs the hit reality television show.
