Jamie Czerniawski, who was part of the ABC reality show "Wife Swap" in 2006, has been released on $75,000 bond after being arrested for stabbing her husband Charles. According to Jamie, he became jealous after he caught her talking to a male friend and threatened her. According to Charles, she simply went psycho. Charles spent two days in Intensive Care with serious stab wounds to his right arm. No word on if the couple are sleeping under the same roof tonight. This little domestic violence incident would have gone unnoticed if it weren't for the fact that the Czerniawskis were part of a "Wife Swap" episode in which she switched places with a tattooed mom from Arizona. That was three years ago, but apparently her fame and name recognition is still out there - admittedly not enough to get her immediately into the headlines once she was arrested, but enough to get her some publicity once people learned 'who she is'. And because of who she is and her now-famous arrest and release from the pokey, she has taken the No. 1 spot on Google's most searched topics, if only temporarily.
What really happened between Jamie and Charles will no doubt be a 'he said, she said'. But just the fact that the incident is the tabloid equivalent of the Shot Heard 'Round the World is more than a bit disturbing. Why do we care? Famous people are always being brought up on assault charges, and truth be told, there are probably far more reality show has-beens who have been brought up on charges than we will ever know about.
