'REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY' BANNED FROM COUNTRY CLUB

The Real Housewives of New Jersey are being punished for their bad behavior. The North Jersey Country Club, where the reality stars famously brawled in a recent episode of the show, has banned the women from coming back on the premises.

In a letter to members, club president John Stanley wrote, "We are all embarrassed with the staged behavior of these cast members at our club. It is safe to say that the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast and crew members are not welcome at the North Jersey Country Club and I assure you that nothing like this will ever occur again at this club."

Stanley apologized for his "lapse in judgment" for even allowing the cast to film at the club. He continued, "It is quite apparent from watching the show that the cast members are not affiliated with this Club or more importantly represent the many great families that comprise the North Jersey membership that calls this club their second home. Further, these women do not represent the people and families of our many neighboring towns or the population of the great state of New Jersey."

What started as a verbal confrontation turned physical after Jacqueline Laurita's 19-year-old daughter Ashley pulled the hair extensions of her mom's fellow cast member, Danielle Staub. Police were called and Ashley was eventually found guilty of assault and ordered to pay a $189 fine.
