Well folks, just when we think we’re seeing upstanding model citizens on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, in the form of Ashley Holmes father and stepmother, this story emerges:

PARKER COUNTY — A Saginaw man, John Madison Holmes, 39, was arrested Thursday and has been charged with arson, insurance fraud and money laundering in connection with a suspected March 12 arson.
His wife, Jodi Sue Holmes, 36, was arrested Friday on a charge of money laundering, as well.
Soon after the fire that destroyed the couple’s two-story house at 1450 Veal Station Road that was undergoing remodel work, Holmes told Parker County Fire Marshal’s Investigator Ken Dabbs he had been at the house dropping off supplies for contractors 30 to 45 minutes before firefighters were called out to the blaze, according to court records.
“A credible witness” recently came forward and said John Holmes started the fire in three rooms of the house using kerosene and gasoline, according to Dabbs, who already believed the fire to be intentionally set after finding no electrical shorts or other reasonable cause.
Holmes and his wife received $429,000 in insurance money, Dabbs said.
The complaint filed by Dabbs alleges Jodi Holmes knew about the arson and used the proceeds to make purchases, including plastic surgery and a $40,000 diamond ring.
As of Friday, investigators have no indication the couple has ever been involved in anything like the suspected arson and neither has ever been arrested, according to Dabbs.
However, the investigation is ongoing and they are working in cooperation with the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, the Parker County Special Crimes Unit, the Parker County Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team and the FBI, Dabbs said.
John Holmes was released on $225,000 bond and his wife was released on $75,000 bond Friday afternoon.
Why is this a story? Because Ashley now lives with them. The arrests took place in June, when Ashley was already living there. So much for role models.

ASHLEE HOLMES MOVES TO LOS ANGELES
There is nothing to feel sorry about that snot nosed brat Ashley. She’s so spoiled and ungrateful. I feel sorry for her mother Jacqueline. She tried EVERYTHING to set things right for that imbecile of a daughter with a hamster face.
Gosh, every time I see that ugly girl’s face, I puke in my mouth. The slowly way she talks and her constant disgusting smirk on her face. She is SO Lucky that Caroline Manzo is her step-aunt, otherwise, they wouldn’t let this impolite little freak into their families and homes.
And now her father got arrested? So f-ing what! There are girls that had FAR WORSE broken families but turned out GREAT. It’s not an excuse for being a snot nose like Ashley. If only Jacqueline was harder on her…! Her step dad, Chris was also too nice to her and didn’t really step up as a tough parent because he loves Jacqueline too much and is afraid of losing her.
It’s good that she moved out of NJ. Maybe now she has to make it on her own and perhaps have a real job for once…? I hope this stupid girl reads my comments and realizes how people view her as this lazy, unappreciative, spoiled little monster. Is this how she wants to be perceived as?
She is NO WAY near Caroline’s kids. They are successful, kind and have integrity. I am not at all blaming poor Jacqueline. She did her best.
Ack! What a mess! No matter where Ashley goes there are bad role models. Mob vs. arsonists….hmmm…which is better. Too bad Ashley cannot get her act together, be totally self-supportive and live on her own. She needs to cut ties with both sets of parents.
Just read buzznet, Ms Ashlee Holmes will be moving to Cali tomorrow and also is writing a book about her long life with the Manzos/Laurita clan. Better be carefull Ashlee THE DON (Caroline) is not going to be happy about this.
lmao! As if Ashley knows how to put a two word sentence together, much less a book. Even if it was ghost written, she is too stupid to have bothered to pay attention or remember anything. When they show her looking at people on the show, you can almost literally see the two little gears in her head grinding at a snail’s pace.
hahah I so much agree with you! She’s such an imbecile this Ashley. I hope she sees what people think of her and perhaps, just perhaps, changes her ways.
Maybe they can all run a t shirt company in Cali.
