RHONJ: Jacqueline Laurita’s Daughter Reveals Bipolar Diagnosis
Jacqueline Laurita's daughter Ashlee Holmes Malleo, formerly of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is opening up about the "relief" she feels after learning about her bipolar diagnosis. Jackie and Ashlee shared the ups and downs of their mother-daughter dynamic in the show's early seasons.
