The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Matt Holme's Bad Example

John Madison Holmes, Ashley Holmes of The Real Housewives of New Jersey's father.

I came across an article online which stated John Madison Holmes a.k.a. Matt Holmes and his wife Jodi were arrested back in June for allegedly arson and money laundering.The article is fromWeatherford Democrat click here to read it for yourself.

Jodi Sue Holmes looks cute in stripes.

Last week Jacqueline and Chris Laurita, along with Matt and his wife Jodi Holmes presented an united front during the where is your life going intervention of their 20 year old daughter Ashley Holmes. Ashley’s out of control behavior has been the storylines of The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 3. Jacqueline and Chris have tried very hard to address this situation with dignity and help their daughter make better choices.  After the recent arrests the aspect of Matt Holmes being a good influence on Ashley is questionable.  Matt was shown to be a loving and devoted father. Since the tapping of the show Ashley allegedly went to live with her father in Texas and residing there when Matt and Jodi were arrested.

The Real Houswives of New Jersey: A Mother's Fight to Save Her Daughter

Last Sunday’s episode of Bravo’s THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY focused on Jacqueline & Christopher Laurita and the attempted intervention of their 20 year old daughter Ashley Holmes. Also joining them in the intervention is Ashley’s biological father Matt Holmes and his wife Jodi, who flew in from Texas. The Laurita’s invited Ashley’s father and step-mother hoping a “United Front” would have a positive effect on Ashley. It’s refreshing to see divorced parents come together in support of their daughter.
It's the day of the intervention, which can been seen on Bravo's website by clicking Keep It In The Family - Bravo TV Official Site Bravo TV Official Site#selected">HERE

Both sets of parents are waiting for Ashley at a restaurant in NYC. Jacqueline and Chris Laurita are chatting with Matt and his wife Jodi about Ashley's plans to move to California. Ashley finally arrives, Jacqueline starts with her concerns and Ashley lays out her plans for all four of her parents; she is going to move to California and go to beauty school. Chris once again tries to explain the concept of money to Ashley. Matt agrees: "Set some obtainable goals. You gotta want it. It's gonna take work. It's not going to be easy. Nobody's going to give it to you." But Ashley thinks everyone is ganging up on her and eventually looks at Jacqueline and says, “I’m twenty and I don’t have a baby.” The disrespect that Ashley has shown her mother has been awful, but this sentence was cruel. Jacqueline hits her limit and says what ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ fans have been thinking for two tears: “Honestly, she’s the most disrespectful brat I have ever seen in my life. You don’t appreciate a God damn thing anyone does for you!” This was the most “Reality” I’ve seen in “Reality TV” I remember seeing, and It was not entertaining or easy to watch. It was heart breaking.


This Sunday on RHNJ the already strained relationship has Jacqueline to her breaking point and Ashley even more obnoxious towards her Mother. Ashley joins her parents in the kitchen and the tension is immediate. She again tells them that her plans are to go California, go to school and get a job. She’s thinking of leaving in the spring. "Ashley is clearly not happy living with us,” says a frustrated and exhausted Jacqueline. “It's hard because I have two little boys and I don’t want them growing up seeing this dysfunction.” It annoys Ashley that this whole thing was originally her mom’s idea, which Jacqueline completely denies. Her idea was for Ashley to go to school at home and get a job. “You're such a bitch," says Ashley, and things blow up from there.

As I look at the photo, posted on

As I look at the photo, posted on Ashley's Blog from August 7th I’m shocked. Jacqueline and Chris may have over-indulged and spoiled Ashley to a fault but they only had Ashley’s best interest at heart.

I’ve already stated my old school approach to raising kids. My Motto Accountability leads to Responsibility but that’s not a guarantee your children will grow up and be responsible adults. Ashley is on a slippery slope and most likely will have to hit bottom before realizing how her actions hurt the ones who love her most. Let me know what you think when you watch this clip? I really respect your opinions whether you agree with me or not. Informative, Intelligent, and thought provoking debates is what makes this blog so great.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Disrespectful Daddy's Girl

Ashley Holmes the defiant, lazy, spoiled (I could go on but you get where I'm going, right?) 20 year old daughter of Jacqueline Laurita of The Real Housewives of New Jersey gets a surprise visit from her biological father Matt Holmes.


The happy reunion is short lived through when Ashley joins both sets of parents for lunch only to find out it’s an intervention. As each of her parents conveys their concerns, Ashley gets more annoyed. Jacqueline, who has sat quiet until the end tries to explain how Ashley disrespects her and makes her feel like a loser. Ashley justifies her actions arrogantly saying it’s hard to be lectured about poor decisions from someone who made her own mistakes. Using the example that she doesn’t have a kid at 20 like her mother did. OUCH!!!.

It’s obvious this selfish, spoiled, ungrateful, manipulating adult brat has the upper hand. But who’s to blame? Are Jacqueline and Chris to blame for rewarding her bad behavior? Is her absentee father responsible for not being more present in her life? And where was Aunt Caroline with all her motherly advice when this child was 14? I'm curious. How would you react to your kid treating you like this? Me, well…Mommy don’t play! I’m old school, know what I’m saying? I would've had that child by the hair! The next time, she'd think twice before disrespecting me again.
