According to a new bombshell report, Jacqueline Laurita, star of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, used to be a former stripper.
The latest issue of In Touch Weekly magazine, out on newsstands on Friday, is stating Jacqueline, 41, used to work as an exotic dancer in Las Vegas, Nev. before she met her husband Chris Laurita.
“She has confirmed her stripper past to multiple friends who are covering up for her,” a source tells the mag. “She is telling everyone to deny it!”
As for the reason Jacqueline decided to strip, another insider states it was because she needed the money. “At the time, she was a single mom who needed to dance at a club in order to pay her bills,” explains the insider. The insider also claims Jacqueline met her husband Chris at the club. Wowzers.
Even more interesting, the mag states the real reason Jacqueline skipped the RHONJ reunion was due to her fear of having her past revealed. “She feared that Danielle Staub would make a surprise appearance and tell all about Jacqueline’s stripping past,” shares a source. “She didn’t want to face the truth!” Indeed, former RHONJ star Danielle did reveal days before the reunion that producers from Bravo had been contacting her to film.
The mag also makes mention of the fact that Chris’ company, Signature Apparel Group, is dealing with major debts, citing the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009 and owed about $25 million. “She doesn’t want any of this coming out,” adds the insider.
There have always been rumblings about Jacqueline’s alleged past as a stripper. In fact just weeks ago, Danielle Staub, who used to be good friends with Jacqueline, tweeted that Jacqueline used to be a stripper. On October 1, a fan tweeted to Danielle ‘Would u mind responding to the rumors that [Jacqueline was] an exotic dancer years ago in LV?’ Danielle tweeted back, “She was and then some.”
And then right after the Posche Fashion show drama and falling out with Teresa Giudice, Teresa, in her ever so passive aggresive manner, seemed to insinuate Jacqueline was a past stripper. Teresa tweeted: “And for the record: I don’t believe MG was a stripper but I wouldn’t care anyway. (I have lots of ex-stripper friends… ahem…).” A screenshot of Tre’s tweet is below -
As for Jacqueline, she has yet to deny the report though she did tweet yesterday that Teresa was behind the latest In Touch cover story. “Im bracing myself 4more joy,I hear Teresa put out 1more article in intouch which should be the end of her 7cover contract.Can’t wait,” tweeted Jacqueline.

TELL US – THOUGHTS ON THIS SHOCKING REPORT? DO YOU BELIEVE JACQUELINE WAS A FORMER STRIPPER?
The irony of all ths is Tre sells!!!! Look at all the new ads RT has garnished since focusing on Tre and allowing you all to bash her. The JOKE i on you cuz RT cares nothing about your opinion only that they can get up to 1,000 responses and entice their sponsors. stupid much! just saying….
@ 797 truth
I don’t think Jac was a stripper because I think Danielle would have told that secret to everyone who would listen in season 2, just like she announced that Tre’s house was in foreclosure.
I think that Tre needs someone to back her up right now and so she chooses the only other person who is not a real friend, Dirty D.
oh gosh. If Jacqueline wanted it to go back to how it was the first season, then maybe she shouldnt have acted like a child live-tweeting during the reunions with “oh she said this” “no she said that” and telling the world Teresa plans on filing a 2nd bankruptcy and “laughing” about it. Those are not peaceful words and these ALL came out of her trap before this article. Its pathetic and typical Manzo/Laurita behavoir….attack attack attack, then play victim. just like how it all played out with Danielle
Does anyone know for a fact that Tre is cohorts with “Dirty D ???? Last I checked she was filming celebrity apprentice and as much as y’all want to think she has the time for this BS, she is busy making money while you are busy SPECULATING.. again joke you YOU.
Sorry in a hurry, To whomever wrote in about StoopidHousewives. I used to read them. I have found through research and verifying facts which is what I do for a living, that they are a poor source. You know how Lynn Hudson HATES jill Zarin and doesn’t really give her the benefit of any doubt, well stoopid is uber pro Teresa and has been a source for unfair bias. I was an uber Teresa fan, and I don’t hate her, but, I do respect people who say an honorable I’m sorry, and not a deflection of the truth. Naughty but nice Rob is also a Zarin source, they had loads of hits last week ripping Teresa and rob was shocked and defended her. One verifies sources with proof and evidence which Jac is providing, while these other sites are using “unnamed sources”. Personally, if I were Jac, I would sue Huff post and the like because they are not verifying their sources and that is rotten to do if one is a reporter.Blogger sites can lie, they are not reporters. I have given sources from newspapers and the horses mouth, more impeccable that Rob and stoopid.
Bryan if you reading this comment i have to agree with you on this is ALL JILL ZARIN FAULT lol…..
@ 800
” my insiders” tell me Teresa and Danielle did that’
Oh brother, again with the insiders! lol. Geeze enough with this!
And oh Rob again doesn’t everyone discredit him? Even Jacqueline, why dm him?.. This just getting more and more ridiculous as the days go by..lol.
@804 tanya85- I TOTALLY AGREE!
I love how people say that Teresa was ganged up on at the reunion.
Teresa tried to blame Jacqueline for showing Gia the Season Premiere.
Teresa implies that Jacqueline leaked photos to the press.
All the sudden Danielle is tweeting support and understanding to Teresa and blaming the NJ ladies.
Interesting how some things seem unimportant to Teresa fans.
@ 810lolag – you can’t deny that Tre was gained up on at the reunion. Im not saying that she was right and they were wrong but she was gained up on even by Andy.
810 you can say the same about Jac & Kim being friends
facts vs. speculations… hmmmm correlates with who u support
Lena…Teresa is filming Celebrity Apprentice so this is great hype for her upcoming appearance.
As for the sources, it is very clear that Danielle and Teresa both made references to ex-stripper. Danielle has been relentless in her quest to spread stripper rumor on twitter. She is even bringing up Chris’ previous relationships and blaming Jac for the breakup.
Suddenly everyone wants to gang up on Jacqueline…Danielle is the biggest fool because she is the one who cried and accepted Jac’s public apology. She even said that she was wrong about things she about Jac last year. Why the sudden change? Is she planning a surprise visit on Season 4 to we don’t know yet.
wtf–does one get paid for Celebrity Apprentice? I thought all monies went to charity. I’ve never seen the show, so I honestly don’t know.
@ 812 Silly- Yeah I still dont understand how Jacq can be friends with Kim G. That woman is a hot damn mess and full of drama and always trying to expose people. If Jacq is really tired of the drama then she needs to cut that chick loose too. I’m starting to think that Jacq is horrible at picking friends. Poor girl!
@wtf – glad she is making money so she can pay back all her debtors. It is fun to speculate and talk about it, I dont take all this too seriously and hope no one esle does etiher. We all have our opinions and that is all they are and it is suppose to be fun and a way to escape the day to day.
811DeeJae…Totally agree! I kept waiting for Teresa to let her guard down and just cry instead of snipe back Bring it Bitches.
I was a big supporter of Teresa earlier this season. I felt her family was out to destroy her and honestly I still do feel that way.
The Gorga/Wakile families are famewhore no question. The way they went about becoming famous was by cutting down their family…Teresa. No respect for them.
@811 DeeJae
I agree
Danielle tweeted one tweet about to Teresa in the last couple of days about what she has heard and how they ganged up on her and her knowing how she feels, or words to that effect, people can see it it’s I ‘m sure still on her tl. She has not been supporting her, prior to that she has been pretty rough about her. Except for the Melissa stuff, so I don’t get where there is any real love there. sorry i don’t see it. Jacqueline texting that picture to Teresa , sorry a little suspect in my opinion, they were/ are suppose to be on the outs all of the sudden she is worried and upset for her because a picture of her husband with another woman is coming out, hmm and it was sent to Jacqueline from Kim G, I’m thinking Jacqueline knew all along that Kim G was doing this to Teresa( just a guess) Jacquelines hands are not clean in any of this mess in my opinion, she knows more and has more to do with this ugliness. Just my opinion. And what was that sly look that Caroline gave when Andy asked Teresa about Joe cheating??.
@Silly I 100% agree.. Jac being friend’s with Kim G is just as crazy as Tre and Danielle.. I saw someone told Jac.. why are you friend’s with Kim G when she was talking stuff about your own SIL on twitter.. and Jac said “Did she?” like she didn’t know..
@ 819 Lena- WOW you brought up alot of things that I didnt even think about! Very interesting! Very good questions! Things that make you go hmmmm!
@Lena.. I noticed that too!! It almost looked like it gave her some kind of satisfaction when Andy asked that question. I’m still laughing at how it’s almost like Melissa and Kathy don’t exist anymore.. the last few week’s they have been all over the press and yet we are still talking about Jac and Tre.. even Danielle.. lol
819 – Maybe Jac sent Tre that picture as a threat to keep Tre’s mouth shut about Jac’s past thingsthatmakeyougohmmm#
I don’t know if anyone else saw this.. But I’ll try to find it.. When teresa put that tweet about having lot’s of stripper friends.. Someone asked Jac if Teresa was talking about her and she said “No, she is probably talking about someone else”.. Don’t quote me on the someone else.. cause she actually said a name

I know, right.. The whole thing just does not sit right with me, it hasn’t since this whole thing hit the fan. Jacqueline in my opinion is more involved and knows more than what she is letting on. She is trying to hard in my opinion to bring Teresa down real hard, with Caroline right there too. Why because Teresa ‘stole” business ideas from her? Thats crazy!!
She in my opinion knows what Kim G has been up to and alot more. Just a feeling I have Something is just not right. Something really stinks. No ones hands are clean in this mess.
My guess about what really happened at that infamous Season 4 Posche Fashion show:
BRAVO, and NOT Teresa instigated and planned the whole “Melissa used to be a stripper” thing, but because Teresa was sick of all the harpies hammering and alienating her, and was still sore about her own family coming on the show to bash her, she probably sort of went along with it. Meaning, she talked to the “old colleague ” on camera ( she has confirmed this ) and maybe didn’t quite DEFEND Melissa’s honor the way a sister-in-law would in a NORMAL situation. Then, because they’ve been looking for a reason ( one caught on film ) to take her down forever, Caroline and Jac attacked her (which she also officially claimed ) on poor, innocent Missy’s behalf. Then, being backed up into a corner, getting screeched at by Don Pitbull and her tiny, abused, has-no-more-will-of-her-own sidekick, Jac, in an attempt to fight back, Teresa lashed out and made some reference to JAC’S stripping past. Which, lets face it, is probably TRUE. Why else would she be SOOO sensitive about it? If someone accused me of having been a stripper, my reaction would be ” Um, no, I wasn’t.” because Um, no I wasn’t. Jac seems like she’s truly going off the deep-end, emotionally.
Just a guess.
brooklyngirl- Sorry if this is long but here it goes. Some are wondering why I let out some info on Jaq’s past here in vegas barely now. Well I just came upon this website when I recently saw a former mgr. at the club and he started talking about how Jaq was all over the news about her past. I never had anything against Jaq and got along well with her when we worked at the club. We weren’t best friends but in the industry there’s a mutual respect. When I first saw her on the show, I thought it was awesome that she was able to get out of the life and find herself someone to take care of her and her daughter. It never crossed my mind to leak any info on her past. As for her saying she met Chris in Chicago, that is not true. When she worked as a convention model, most of the conventions are held in vegas and she talked about meeting Chris at one here and then he would stop by the club when he was in town. As for her saying she met him at one in Chicago, he might have arranged for her to fly there and work a convention there and that is how she got her ticket printout receipt. It is common for these rich men that come to vegas for tradeshows to hire these women for their booths and if they like them then they offer to fly them to where they live or where they will be setting up a booth next. When I first saw her on the show she seemed like she was able to make a good life for herself and really appreciate the chance she was given but then she started acting like a hypocrite by putting down and distancing herself and looking down her nose at women she was friends with because of their shady pasts when she did the same thing and then some and didn’t own up to it. The fact that she lucked out and met someone to take her far away from her past and start over she felt like she was superior to those who are less fortunate and many women have to struggle in the industry for a long time and aren’t able to move away and start fresh with a whole new life. Jaq desperately wants to erase her past but the saying ‘whatever happens in vegas stays in vegas’ doesn’t always ring true. Everyone’s past eventually turns up. Like I said before, I just recently came upon this site reading about how she denies being a stripper and how she struggled as a single mom. I never read blogs before but I was curious to see what people have to say and see that people go back and forth assuming this and that. I want people to know that working in the industry isn’t just black and white. Many girls start off working as a cocktail waitress and then see how much more money can be made as a dancer or call girl and the perks that come with it. Even working as a convention model leads to other things like meeting rich men or making extra money on the side. I’m not interested in going to any tabloids and telling my story about what I know however I just want to give people and an insight to how it works in vegas. Jaq just seems like she is ashamed of how she earned her living for a while and that is disrespectful to the women in vegas who really do struggle and aren’t as lucky to get out of the life. Some may think that I’m bitter or jealous but that is not the case. I managed to get out of that industry, go to school and do something different making a decent life for myself but I still have friends that desperately need that life to make quick money and when Jaq tries to deny that past, its like a slap in the face to these women. The point of the matter is, I don’t have anything against Jaq but I’ve been watching how crazy she’s gotten and easily turns on her friends while desperately trying to keep her past from coming out. It is what it is and she needs to own up to it. It doesn’t make her bad person because of what she used to do but by shifting the attention and accusations to others in hopes of her past never being found is not right.
Dana who cares we love Jac just the way she is
If you knew her, what club was it at, Dana?
I have no problem with Jac having been a dancer or ‘stripper’. She did what she had to do to support herself and her ungratful daughter. But I’ve got even a bigger, more horrendous story about Teresa that everyone is trying to cover up, includng Teresa! I opened my dictionary to several English words, and lo! and behold! whose picture was there? The words were: dumb, illiterate, stupid, liar, delusional, cuckoldette, bad parent, psycho, coo-coo. The photo was of a very tanned, wide-apart-eyed female with a very low, hairy forehead, a fuzzy purple fur vest, head tilted slightly to her right, a Hillybilly’s Thesaurus in her hand, and a frozen toothful fake smile.
“ungrateful”
@Frankswif3y – Thanks for posting that from Jac’s website…but you know how “out there” all those Teresa fan-atics can’t read that well; and what they read, they inevitably and illogically pervert the wording so it…you know what I mean! It’s kinda like something I saw on Facebook a few months ago: Even though Pres. Obama spearheaded the SUCCESSFUL killing of Osama, he is one of the few black men who has had to prove he DID kill somebody! Jac should just let the loonies rant and rave till their eyes bug out and their hair frizzles…it’s useless for the innocent to try to prove their innocence…as many folks with good sense have said, “A lie can go around the world twice before the truth can get its pants on.” and as many MORE folks with good sense KNOW, “Truth Will Out.” I ain’t sweatin’ Teresa’s insanity being exposed, and I ain’t sweatin’ any story about Jac! We all WILL know the truth about all of them one day and look back at this mess and laugh! Love and Peace this weekend to you!
I don’t get why people get so angry about these shows lol this is funny. Why get mad at the “fans” people can support who they want.
@834 – kind of sad and funny all at the same time! some people really get mean when you disagree with them here and it is so sad because those housewives do not care at all about any of these people who are defending them.
I believe she was a stripper and she’s judged others she’s afraid to let this be known. I think she hid from the reunion to not answer for her backstabbing and rumors.
That would explain why she stuck with Danielle.
Also, the rumor is she was a hooker.
I guess that is something else her daughter can throw in her face.
Who really cares if she was a stripper , I know that I don’t. This young woman has alot of class and if in fact she had to strip to make enough money to pay bills and support her daughter “More power to her” I think she is great. A prime roll model for young women. You go girl keep your head high.
Its public knowledge if Jacquline was a stripper in LV. She would have to register with the city to get a license to dance. If she was, that would be so hilarious! Especially after the way she treated Danielle for dancing. It would be fair to say that if Jacquline’s husband met her in the club, wouldn’t that make Chris her PIMP?!
No, if she was dancing and met Chris, it doesn’t make him a pimp. What I would like to hear about if Chris and Jaq defrauding the system….no wonder he kept his opinions to himself when it came to JG’s problems with the law. Lord, they say even tho they are Ital doesn’t mean they’re part of the mafia!!! Are they all just innately crooks???
How can you “used to be a former stripper”? Ugh. Come onnnn.
GOD….these women are TRASH!! WHITE Trash! Bravo needs to come up with something a little bit better than this trash. YUCK! They aren’t even smart or witty…or interesting. Just Trashy!
Melissa is trash too…..and NOW I get why Teresa doesn’t accept her. makes perfect sense.
