This is not a good week to be a reality television husband! Yesterday news surfaced that Raising Sextuplets dad Bryan Masche was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and threatening domestic violence, while The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice's hubby Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice, turned himself in for his jail sentence for driving with a suspended license.

Now, Simon Barney, the estranged husband of The Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Barney, has found himself in deep trouble, too. TMZ.com is reporting that law enforcement officials revealed that Simon, who is currently in the process of going through a divorce from Tamra, was arrested Tuesday morning on suspicion of domestic battery.

A source close to the couple claims the alleged assault happened after the pair got in a fight over their dog. The source also alleges Simon threw the dog's leash at Tamra and struck her on the wrist. The altercation prompted Tamra to call 911. Simon is currently in custody and is being held on $10,000 bail.
