Cast Member Gets a Taste of the "Real World"

Paula Ann MeronekCROMWELL, Conn. (AP) -- A cast member on MTV's "The Real World" was arraigned on a misdemeanor assault charge after police said she bit her boyfriend during a domestic dispute.

Paula Ann Meronek, 25, allegedly bit her boyfriend several times when he refused to let her into their home early Sunday morning, police said. "I think it was an argument that led to one thing then another," said Cromwell Police Chief Anthony Salvatore. "He attempted to keep her from the house. It got physical and we were contacted." Meronek, who was arraigned Monday, was charged with third-degree assault, which carries a potential penalty of a year in prison. She is due back in court Aug. 11. No lawyer was listed in court documents.

Her boyfriend, John Alyward, was charged with disorderly conduct. The arrest was first reported by The Middletown Press. "The Real World," now in its 17th season, puts seven strangers together in an exotic locale -- this time in a Key West, Fla., beach house.

A call to the show's producer was not immediately returned.

83. This story does not surprise me. Why did't someone tell this girl, that she can not act like she's in Hollywood. When she have not arrived yet. Real World was a show. This is reality. Maybe now, she can take a good look at herself. Because it is not a Pretty sight. Or maybe link up with some of those Hollywood Crack heads.They usally get away, with a charges like this.

90. i just wanted to say she is crazy and i wonder if they will have her back on an update real world show- and if they will bring this up?? doubt it huh. yeah and what happened to keith? i know somebody who knew somebody that went to highschool with her, and she was a track coach...... just an interesting fact i wanted to add in. i bet her poor mother is getting so many harassing phone calls because of this arrest of paula, i know that she (paula) is not listed but her mom is in meriden, ct. funny thing is, is that i live like 20 mins from meriden and probally will run into the crazy bi**h someday if i go out to the bars in meriden.... well if anyone else thinks she is crazy just post: 911 b/c thats what she needs: help in a bad way... hopefully she can overcome her anerexia and alcoholism one day.. and what a hoe real world just wrapped like 6 months ago or something and she was so in love with keith, and now she has moved on.... sounds like she is a very desperate person... well thats all for now.

thanks
sincerely real world fan < not exactly of paula though.... he he he lol
