Lauren Cleri of ‘Moment of Truth’ Pays the Price

Greed is an ugly thing, Lauren Cleri has recently discovered.
The wife of a city cop yesterday said she humiliated her husband in front of 8 million viewers of the reality show “Moment of Truth” - revealing she slept around and wanted to be wed to another guy - in a bid for fame and fortune.
Reports The New York Post,
After appearing on the Fox show Monday night, they came away without any prize money, no immediate job offers for her - and a potentially irrevocably broken marriage.
“We’re kind of up in the air right now -
I want to [get back together], but I don’t think he does,” Lauren said in their tiny apartment in Piermont.
“It’s not very easy to overcome,” said Frank, a cop with the 48th Precinct in The Bronx.
Frank Cleri said he had been aware of his wife’s cheating but not prepared for the emotional drain of their going public with it for the money.
Standing tensely next to his wife yet still wearing his wedding ring, he said, “Everything that was mentioned during this show, we had talked about before. We’ve had our issues. Unfortunately, now they’re not just our problems. Everyone knows about it.”
The pair catapulted into the national spotlight on the stomach-churning episode when Lauren revealed that she had cheated on her husband of two years and really wished she was married to an old boyfriend.
The show has contestants take a lie-detector test off-stage beforehand. They are asked some of the same questions later posed to them in front of the audience.
On Monday’s show - taped two weeks ago - Lauren’s ex-boyfriend made a surprise appearance and asked:
“Do you believe I am the man you should be married to?”
As Frank Cleri grimaced on the sidelines, his wife said, “Well, wow, um. I’m going to be honest and say yes.”
The lie-detector results said she was being truthful, and she was awarded $100,000.
A visit to her MySpace shows the magnitude of her despair:
