John Fuda‘s ex, Brittany Malsch, the father of his 16-year-old son, Jaiden, has made shocking allegations against the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member in a series of leaked messages.
Weeks after Jaiden spoke out against his birth mother, who has been in and out of jail in recent years, describing her as a “stranger” and admitting he’s “annoyed” by her claims against his dad and stepmother, Rachel Fuda, who adopted him months ago, Brittany has accused John of being a “huge drug dealer” and detailed his alleged arrests.
In a series of messages shared by All About the Real Housewives on Instagram and obtained from RHONJ Facts, Brittany lashed out at John for trashing her on the show, suggesting he’s done so in retaliation for her leaving him.
“Since I left him he has done everything possible to ruin me and hurt me the only way he knew he could…and I am just shocked that still after all these years…he still continues to throw dirt on my name, on national TV,” she wrote in one message. “I [definitely] have never claimed to be an angel but I feel this is a [continuation] of a personal vendetta he has against me from leaving him or something…[I don’t know] I’m at a loss for words. I [wasn’t] expecting this at all…and I feel bad Jaiden had no choice in any of this.”
“In the end I had to break up with him because I just didn’t feel the same way about him that he did for me and I felt he deserved someone who could reciprocate the love,” she continued in another message. “Jaiden was about [five] when he took him. I was really happy to just SEE him, even though the circumstances [weren’t] so enjoyable, I was glad to see how he looks and how beautiful he is.”
As RHONJ fans may have seen, Brittany has reportedly accused John and Rachel of blocking her from seeing Jaiden. However, Jaiden himself has shared that the couple has repeatedly asked him if he’d like to see his birth mom.
“I say ‘no,’” Jaiden revealed to Page Six in July. “I wish her well and hope she stops trying to reach out to me while bashing my mom and dad.”
Continuing on in her messages against John, Brittany took aim at their passionless sex life, saying he was “horrible” in bed and adding a number of other NSFW details, before dishing on his alleged past incarcerations.
“The first time he was arrested they made him go to a ‘boys reform farm’ in Missouri for [six] months when he was 18. Then when he was released he couldn’t come back to [New Jersey] for a year as part of the release agreement. So I moved to Florida with him where I ended up getting pregnant [six] months later,” she recalled.
Brittany then said that John “never graduated [high school]” and “was a hardcore drug dealer” when they met.
“He first got arrested at the age of 18. Which of course you won’t find. Then again at 21 which he got expunged,” Brittany shared. “I’m truly happy he stopped that behavior for Jaiden’s sake, but he was far from this character he portrays on TV when I met him… He paid [$150,000] to the lawyer (John Bruno) for the arrest when he was 21 just to fight the case. Everyone else who was arrested with him did [four] years in prison!! He got away with [one] year [on] probation and he also paid his [co-defendants] to deny his [involvement] in return [for] commissary and money on their books in jail.”
Back in June, while appearing on the BravBros podcast, John denied that he was a felon, saying he simply got in trouble as a young man after a fight.
But according to Brittany, there were two arrests.
“The [screenshot] of an arrest record someone sent you was expunged, the charges were breaking and entering, assault with a deadly weapon and armed robbery. He paid a lawyer [$150,000] as was the first one from when he was 18…for having [two] ounces of cocaine and a gun,” she stated, adding, “He’s a conceited, arrogant and cocky [scumbag]. No amount of money or luxury was worth the ugliness I witnessed on a daily basis.”
In another series of messages, Brittany claimed John gave her drugs when they were dating.
“I was so [dumb I] had no idea what I was doing … I got hooked on drugs after meeting him…he would give me buttloads of coke to do alll the time,” she said. “Then when we moved to Florida and I got pregnant it stopped for [a while].”
“And yes when I met John it was at a party in Mahwah that he came to, to sell everyone coke,” she continued. “Anyone our age in Mahwah will tell you the same thing. John was a HUGE drug dealer. He had all of Bergen County strung out!”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is currently in production and expected to premiere on Bravo sometime in early 2024.
