Mobster trades assault for a wedding discount: That’s SO Jersey

An unfolding real-life Jersey drama involves an finish.

Reputed Lucchese crime member of the family John Perna was sentenced a few days in the past with 2 1/2 years in federal prison for finishing up an assault on former “Actual Housewives of New Jersey” star Dina Manzo’s then boyfriend again in 2015.

The truth franchise has turn into so boring that what occurs off the display screen is rather more fascinating than what occurs on.

Living proof: Teresa Giudice holidays together with her new boyfriend. The newspapers cowl it and other people eat it up. Her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, buys a brand new waterfront house in New Jersey. We gotta see the within! That’s the stuff we’re actually interested by as a result of that’s ACTUALLY the truth.

Everybody is aware of that actuality exhibits are so removed from actuality. They spice them up with scripted nonsense on a regular basis. I imply, in any case, what number of occasions are you able to watch anyone flip a desk over? And what number of catfights between housewives with augmented cheeks, butts and boobs can we probably bear?

For the uninitiated, John Perna is a reputed mobster with ties to the Lucchese crime household who, with a member of his crew, assaulted Dina Manzo’s then-boyfriend and now husband, Dave Cantin.

However that’s not the enjoyable a part of the story. The enjoyable half is that shortly after, Perna held a marriage reception for 330 visitors at Dina’s ex, Thomas Manzo’s Brownstone Restaurant in Paterson, for what was mentioned to have been a reduced value.

So, the story goes, Manzo gave Perna a deal for his wedding ceremony venue in alternate for assaulting his ex’s new beau. Overlook the “Actual Housewives of New Jersey.” THAT’s Jersey actuality at its most interesting.
