Wife Swap’s Jamie Czerniawski accused of stabbing husband
Wife Swap‘s Jamie Czerniawski has been charged with aggravated assault after an incident that landed her husband in the intensive care unit. Or as they call it in Jersey, having a discussion.
Czerniawski, 30, claims she was acting in self defense. Her husband Charles, 34, spent two days in ICU, lost four pints of blood and remains unable to use his right arm. Jamie contends the late night fight over Memorial Day Weekend started over an innocent phone call from a friend, who happened to be a dude. From the New York Post:
A jealous Charles, she said, grabbed her wrist and said, “If I can’t have you, no one can.”
He pinned her against the kitchen island, but Jamie said she broke free and grabbed a knife. When Charles grabbed her and pinned her shoulders to the floor with his knees, she said, she struck him with the blade.
She said she initially didn’t tell cops her side of the story because she “didn’t want him to get in trouble.”
Jamie told the post if she hadn’t fought back, she might have been killed. She contends she came clean after her husband emptied all their bank accounts and cut Jamie and the kids off financially.
