  • RIDGEWOOD, N.J. - Accusations and fists were flying at an event that featured cast members of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" reality show.

    A Paramus man claims Jacqueline and Christopher Laurita and Giuseppe "Joe" Gorga attacked him as cameras rolled in a hair salon in Ridgewood on Saturday.

    John Karagiorgis filed a complaint, accusing the three of simple assault and making terroristic threats. The reality stars responded with their own complaints.

    Karagiorgis tells The Record newspaper ( http://bit.ly/16AtzdU) he was ambushed and still has a mark on his forehead from a stiletto heel.

    His lawyer tells the newspaper the incident was a "reality show gone wild" as part of a "ratings grab."

    Police say a probable cause hearing will be scheduled to determine if there is enough evidence to warrant any arrests.
