Celebrity Justice
'Real' Husband Charged with Felony DUI

Matt Keough from "The Real Housewives of Orange County" is in a real deep mess, he was just charged with two felonies following his DUI arrest on August 15.

Keough -- who was busted in Coto de Caza, CA driving three times over the legal limit -- was charged with "one felony count DUI with a prior felony DUI conviction within 10 years" and one felony count driving with a BAC of .08 or higher.

According to the Orange County D.A., "Keough was also charged with sentencing enhancements for having a blood alcohol level of .20 percent or more and a prior 2005 felony DUI conviction."

Technically, the D.A. says Keough had a BAC of .30 "an hour after" his traffic stop.

Keough faces three years in state prison if convicted -- he'll be arraigned on November 2.

6. No wonder he drinks if he is or was married to one of those so called 'real' housewifes depicted on t.v.! lol!! Meanwhile, don't blame it on any baseball accident, if can drive from A to B, then he should be able to gauge how much to drink. Get him off the road and into the slammer!!

8. He's a loser! And he treated Jeana like dirt. I have no sympathy for this man. He's had many chances to turn his life around, and he's chosen not to. I just hope that Shane doesn't follow in his footsteps.

9. Anyone who thinks that being part of a reality show is a wonderful thing needs to look at the history of former reality stars. It seems as if their lives are not as gratifying as they had hoped. How sad for them! I may sometimes wish I had more in the way of material things, but for the most part, my life is wonderful. I have a job I love, and a family whom I care about and they about me. I don't think I will ever look back at my history and have regrets! How many reality stars can say the same?

10. Matt Keogh has so many issues and he's been on self-destruct for the past few years. His family has done everything to help him and rock bottom just isn't enough for him. Alcoholism is a horrible disease-Matt Keogh's a classic example in all ways.

13. House wives of Orange County, are the biggest
group of fake phonies. Everything about these people
are fake, hair, boobs, nails the personalities. I personally
hate newport and that whole orange county scene. No one is

15. He's BEEN to AA! He's been in treatment several times. The only injury here is the damage he does to others. Lock up that loser for good.

Lock up his kids and wife as a good, thoughtful, pre-emptive strike. They deserve to be BEHIND bars. They suck
