Explosion: Dolores Catania Taken to Detention Camp After Bar Brawl Involving Glass Pearl
In a shocking turn of events that has stunned fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, longtime cast member Dolores Catania has been taken into custody and sent to a temporary detention camp following a late-night altercation at a bar in Montclair, New Jersey.
According to eyewitnesses and law enforcement sources, the incident occurred around 1:45 AM on Saturday morning, when an argument between Catania and an unidentified woman escalated into violence. The situation spiraled out of control when Dolores allegedly struck the woman in the face with what appeared to be a decorative glass pearl from her necklace.
“It was wild,” said one witness who requested anonymity. “Dolores looked calm at first, but then she just snapped. One second they were arguing about something petty — maybe a man or something said on Instagram — and the next thing we know, she’s swinging a glass bead like it’s a weapon.”
Authorities arrived at the scene shortly after the altercation, and the victim was taken to a nearby hospital with facial lacerations. Police reportedly found fragments of the glass pearl at the scene, confirming that it had been used in the altercation.
Catania was taken into custody without resistance but was transferred to a detention camp facility due to what sources described as “elevated public interest and safety concerns.” The Real Housewives star has not commented publicly, but her attorney issued a brief statement: “Ms. Catania maintains her innocence and looks forward to clearing her name. This was an unfortunate misunderstanding fueled by emotions and alcohol.”
Bravo has yet to release an official statement, but insiders say that producers are scrambling to adjust ongoing filming schedules. “This season was already explosive,” one source close to production said. “But no one could’ve predicted this. Cameras weren’t rolling when it happened, but trust me — this will be addressed. You can’t ignore something like this.”
Dolores, known for her no-nonsense attitude and fierce loyalty, has often been a fan favorite for her grounded presence amid the chaos of her co-stars. However, this incident threatens to dramatically shift public perception.
Online reaction has been fierce and divided. Some fans are defending Catania, calling the incident a setup or exaggeration. Others are calling for her suspension or removal from the show entirely. “Violence is never okay,” one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Dolores needs to face consequences.”
Meanwhile, legal experts suggest that while charges have yet to be formally filed, the use of a potentially dangerous object in a physical altercation could carry serious consequences under New Jersey law.
Whether this shocking twist marks the end of Dolores Catania’s run on Real Housewives or fuels an even more intense redemption arc remains to be seen. One thing is certain: Jersey drama just reached a whole new level.
