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.

92. I had a thought and checked into seeing if it MAY be her show BF, Keith. This class picture looks like it may be the same guy...and his middle name is Keith...John Keith Alyward...see for yourselves.

It's a shame...she has problems and I hope she gets the help and peace of mind she deserves.

102. I think anyone who points a finger at her and calls her crazy is being inconsiderate and judgemental. The girl obviously has problems and if she was never on t.v none of u would have ever known but because she is on t.v everyone has sumthin 2 say. For a person who has problems they try to cry out....t.v may have been her way . So for me i say, i hope she get's the help she needs b4 the media reports worst news then this about her.

105. When I first started watching this season of the Real World I did Kind of think she was crazy but as I was watching her get drunk and depressed and just lashing out at everybody especially John I was thinking this girl needs help and plus you would be kind of crazy and depressed too if your boyfriend beat you up so bad that you had to go to the Hospital more than once.
