Reception
Mark Perigard from ''Boston Herald'' was very critical towards the show for its negativity. Giving the show a D, he added that the "women go on the defensive in the most vile way, alleging abuse and death threats, the sort of smears that could wreck a police officer’s career," and raising a question whether "repeated Botox use lead to brain damage." Amy Kuperinsky from ''The Star-Ledger'' gave the show a B and compared it to another reality series aired on the same network, ''The Real Housewives of New Jersey'', also adding that a viewer would "find the same kind of conflicts — your standard-issue threats, kerfuffles over the trivial, and a healthy dose of regional accents."References
