Jamie Czerniawski, who has appeared in the reality show “Wife Swap,” was arrested for allegedly stabbing her husband Charles with a kitchen knife over Memorial Day Weekend in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

The former Miss Teen New Jersey/Cheerleading coach says she acted in self-defense during a heated late night fight that started after an innocent phone call from an old male friend.

A jealous Charles, she said, grabbed her wrist and said, “If I can’t have you, no one can.”

He pinned her against the kitchen island, but Jamie said she broke free and grabbed a knife. When Charles grabbed her and pinned her shoulders to the floor with his knees, she said, she struck him with the blade.

She said she initially didn’t tell cops her side of the story because she “didn’t want him to get in trouble.”

Charles, who spent two days in ICU, lost four pints of blood and remains unable to use his right arm, cut Jamie and the kids financially and emptied their bank accounts. Jamie was charged with aggravated assault and released on $75,000 bail.
