Danielle Staubhas responded to her estranged husband Marty Caffrey’s divorce filing, alleging verbal and physical abuse as her reasons for seeking a separation.
In addition to alleged verbal and physical abuse directed at her, Staub claims her husband of seven months, 66, verbally attacked her two daughters: Jillian, 20, and Christine, 24.
In addition, the mother of two alleges, Caffrey “repeatedly referred to [her] daughter as a ‘c—‘ and ‘entitled bitch’ solely for the purpose of harming and harassing [her].”
Staub, who is also seeking spousal support, recalled a 10-day vacation to Anguilla during which Caffrey “repeatedly disparaged and harassed” her and her children, whom he called “entitled c—s.”
“[Caffrey] would become incredibly intoxicated on a daily basis. On one occasion in Anguilla, [he] became physically violent, pushing Defendant down, holding her arms down, purposefully physically restraining [her] to the point where she became bruised,” the document alleges. “On one occasion in Anguilla, [he] became physically violent, pushing [her] down, holding her arms down, purposefully physically restraining [her] to the point where she became bruised.”
Staub further claims that Caffrey believed her rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis was not true and had repeatedly threatened to cancel her health insurance. “[He] refused to assist [her] with her medical treatment, causing [her] to attend doctors’ appointments and obtain painful injections without any support. Upon [her] arriving home after the appointments, [Caffrey] often demanded that [she] engage in sexual intercourse.”

In response to Staub’s filing, Caffrey denies his estranged wife’s allegations, telling PEOPLE: “This is a complete list of lies. Only a demented mind could come up with such false accusations. Danielle will go to any level to create problems and to be the victim. None of this is accurate or even close to the truth. This is simplyDanielle Staubtrying to take people out like she has in her past, but it’s not going to work this time.”
The current ninth season ofRHONJwill show Staub and Caffrey’s wedding in Bimini. Days before walking down the aisle, the pair wasbickering over a rifttheir nuptials was causing between him and his children.

The father of three adds, “My relationship with my children has been without my wife. Her idea of a solution is that I can have my relationship with them but it will never include her. … I believed in her and fell in love with her. … She just messed this up because of her need for the cameras and the selfies. Thatʼs all our relationship became. Nothing about me was even relevant. I couldnʼt talk about anything in my life or include her in anything in my life.”
Caffrey seemingly does not see a reconciliation between him and Staub anytime soon.
“Am I just another victim of the Housewives? All for a reality show? Danielle is very good at manufacturing truths and Iʼm sure that she will continue to spew salacious lies and fabrications as the divorce proceeds through the courts,” he says. “I will not play in her gutter.”
A rep for Staub had no comment.
