Frank Nardi, Jr. (pictured), who appeared as a surprise guest on Fox reality show Moment of Truth to ask his married ex-girlfriend Lauren Cleari if she believes she should have married him instead, has come forward to tell the New York Post that he “really just wants all of this to be over.” The Post’s weekly circulation is usually in the neighborhood of 650,000.
Cleari, an aspiring actress who works part-time at a hair salon, became infamous overnight by admitting she wishes she had married Nardi, while her husband and parents sat nearby and a television audience of 8 million people gawked. (Join them!) She also confessed to cheating on her husband of two years, a rookie NYPD officer, but lost her shot at $200,000 when a lie detector contradicted her claim that she thinks she is a good person. Cleari now tells the Post that the machine must have been wrong: “I am a good person. I'm not a murderer, I'm not a serial killer.”
Blogging on his Myspace page, where he's known as Nardiballs, Nardi, an up-and-coming thespian, says it was a mistake to go on Moment of Truth and claims he hasn’t “been this sick ever in my entire life.” But his commenting friend the Big Dawg puts his pain in perspective:
Personally I see know difference between your TV appearance and William Hung singing Ricky Martins' "She Bangs" on Idol. Except he parlayed that shit into 1,000,000 Dollars. So the way I see it is, Your on deck. Get a manager before the flames die out. Let the haters do thier job. Thats why it's called REALLITY TELEVISION. I got U playa.
Big Dawg’s right, Nardiballs. Here’s the smart move: pitch a new reality show to Fox called “The Dope Elope”. Run off with Cleari to the west coast, where the two of you move into a Venice McMansion with eight other dysfunctional newlyweds trying to make the scene in Hollywood. Swap partners, high-five Piven, repeat as necessary until your 15 minutes are up. As for Cleari’s cuckolded husband, he’s sticking around for more abuse, but wonders, “Why couldn't she have gone on 'Deal or No Deal'? All she'd have had to do was pick a number.”




Did she really thing that after confessing to cheating on her husband that the lie detector would agree that she's a good person?
ha
In the post article, they state that the husband Frank Cleari is a rookie NYPD cop but their apartment was in Pierpont, NJ.
I thought there was rule or law that required NYPD officers to live in NYC. I could be mistaken.
Piermont is in Rockland County, NY.
he knew she cheated on him & still loved the other guy & he knew that would get them on the show, he just didn't think she would be stupid enough to lie. after the crowd reaction she started to realize she wasn't good after all but lied anyway because women always like to believe they're good people even after they ruin a man.
NYPD officers are not required to live in NYC:
"In addition to the above qualifications, successful candidates must:
"Reside in the five (5) Boroughs of New York City or Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam or Orange Counties."

cuckholed, eh. greg and tony must be proud.
And by "over," Nardi means "until I can ride out all of my 15 minutes of fame."
Cleari now tells the Post that the machine must have been wrong: *I am a good person. I'm not a murderer, I'm not a serial killer.*
You're a cheat and a liar which doesn't fall in the same category as "good person"
Nardi is a total dumbass if he assumed that it would be a smooth ride that would lead to great things. They're all a bunch of idiots, and opportunists who deserve exactly what they're getting.
More importantly, Big Dawg’s grammar is going to make me lose my lunch!

Cuckholed isn't a word, either.
"Cuckholed" could be a word to describe the act of being fucked by the guy who's fucking your wife.
Great post. John Del Signore, your posts never fail to amuse me. You are by far the best poster on this site. I think you also have the best command of the English language on Gothamist However, the bar is pretty low on that one.
that's so meta, sommelier.
This is all fake. Rupert Murdoch is a marketing genius. I can't believe Gothamist was ensnared by this idiocy.
"Personally I see know difference"
i am blown away.
MyWittyName = John's mom.
Jen S outed me. Sorry Johnny.
who wouldn't leave a cop for a pirate?
What's funny is that she's shocked - shocked! - that the polygraph didn't back her up when she said she's a good person.
No matter what people do, everyone always thinks they're right.
That good person question is unfair, it is not an honest question, and it is a shame they were rooked out of the $200k. What the hell does it mean to be a good person? She told the truth and was honest the whole way on ascertainable facts. Did you steal? Yes. Do you wish you married someone else? Yes. Did you cheat? Yes. Are you a good person? Yes. LIAR! It is great tv, but she and her husband had to know what they were in for and the state of their relationship. The machine was wrong. She is a good person.
I wouldn't mind watching her get spit roasted by 4 or 5 guys at once.
Now that's Cuckolding.
As per the NY Post article..."Lauren said in an exclusive interview with The Post from their Pierpont, N.J., apartment, where they both still live together."
It's Pierpont not Piermont.
So I guess the following rule does apply to him...
"Reside in the five (5) Boroughs of New York City or Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam or Orange Counties."
(http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/careers/application_overview.shtml)
I guess he's going to get screwed over by the Rupert Murdoch machine in more than one way.
No, akachris. He lives in Piermont. Decent guy, too.
frank nardi did nothing wrong!!!! he is sick over all of this negative attention! anyone who knows him, the REAL FRANK, would never EVER consider him a homewrecker - he doesn't have it in him...he didn't write the question, didn't answer the question and certainly did not expect the response she gave...
LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
