Things are bad between The Real Housewives of New York‘s Jules Wainstein and her estranged husband, Michael.
Michael, a principal at Private Capital Group, filed for divorce in mid-June, and Jules’ rep confirmed to Bravo that Michael’s infidelity led to the end of the marriage.
Now, TMZ reports that Michael is going after full custody of the couple’s two children, Jagger and Zoe. Sources tell the site that his lawyers are preparing to request primary custody, and to only allow Jules supervised visits.
Michael believes that Jules is too “erratic” to have even joint custody.
Jules called 911 on the morning of August 10th after having an argument with Michael, who left the house before police got there. A source close to Michael told Page Six that the reality star “went insane” and was yelling inside the couple’s New York City apartment.
“She started screaming, ‘I will get you out of this house!’ As he was walking out the door with their son, she screamed, ‘You hit me!’” the source said.
Not so, an insider close to Jules claims.
“That did not happen,” Jules’ friend said.
“He ran out naked in front of his son and daughter. He did something s - - - ty in front of their son. The lawyers are well aware. She’s at court getting a restraining order.”
Jules has accused Michael of having an affair with their friend, psychologist Elyse Bensusan. The Daily Mail has photographs of the two walking hand-in-hand in New York last month.
Michael and Elyse were also spotted shopping at Home Goods, then traveled to an apartment where they are believed to be moving into. Elyse is separated, and has two daughters with estranged husband Tsion Bensusan.
The cracks in Jules and Michael’s marriage has begun to show on Housewives, which Jules has only joined this past season.
Both parties will report to court on September 8th to hammer out divorce details.
