New Jersey Housewives’ Danielle Staub Sued by Ex-Husband

New Jersey Housewives' Danielle Staub

Danielle Staub of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is now facing a lawsuit by her ex-husband, Kevin Maher.

Kevin has filed a lawsuit against Danielle on the basis of defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.  And yes, this is the same Kevin who wrote the tell all book, ‘Cop Without A Badge,’  revealing Danielle’s scandalous past as a drug user and escort.

The lawsuit is based on an interview Danielle gave PEOPLE magazine in June 2009, during which she called Kevin a rapist and a dog murderer.

Kevin– who was married to Danielle in the late 80s — told E! News, “I am filing a lawsuit against my ex-wife, Danielle Staub, stemming from her allegations that I raped her on a bed of broken glass, inserted my handgun inside her and played Russian Roulette, and last but not least, killing her dog by way of hanging it,” Maher states. “She also threatened me on the reunion show that Bravo aired.”

Kevin says he’s receieved “serious and outrageous threats” since the article was released.
