O.C. 'Housewife' Has 'Real' Hubby Tossed In Jail For Domestic Violence

ORANGE COUNTY (CBS) —Tamra Barney, one of the "Real Housewives of Orange County," had her estranged husband, Simon Barney, arrested on domestic violence charges Monday after he allegedly threw a dog leash at her.

Fans of the Bravo TV show have seen the couple verbally spar for some time (often over how she was raising her eldest son or finances.)

Radar reports this fight involved their dog, and who would ultimately retain ownership. During the fight, Simon allegedly threw the dog's leash at Tamra's head.

According to Radar, he hit her in the wrist with the plastic, retractable leash.

The site also says Simon has filed for divorce while Tamra has moved on with a much younger boytoy that one site referred to as "her hot Latin lover" Eddie Judge.

It is not clear if Simon will have to face a real judge any time in the near future or if charges will be filed.
