In an Instagram Story shared by Lauren’s friend, Greg Bennett, he shared a video of the TV star eating a bag of M&M’s while sitting with friends.
Lauren kept her hair down and her makeup to a minimum while wearing a black and white button-up top.
Lauren had fun with her friends while he recorded her putting several M&M’s into her mouth and zooming in on her face.
“Falling apart,” Greg captioned his video along with tagging Lauren’s social media account.
The video came on the same day as Lauren’s statement on her ongoing divorce from her husband, Vito Scalia.
‘WE’RE ALL GOOD’
On Tuesday, Lauren broke her silence and gave her side of the story.
The TV personality said: “By now, you guys have seen the news that has broken. Just wanted to let you guys all know, we’re all good.

“This has been done for a very long time. the last part of the process was filing. We were on the same page. This is something that we did together. Vito and I love and respect each other and we continue to move forward as a family.
“All that matters to us is that our daughter is happy and healthy. Her privacy is important to us. We haven’t been on TV in 7 years which is why we didn’t feel the need for some dramatic announcement.
“We continue to move forward with love and respect for each other. And we will always be a family and that’s it. It’s about our daughter and her privacy because she didn’t ask to be on TV, we did. We appreciate you guys and hope you have a great day.”
THE REVEAL
On October 23, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Vito filed for divorce from Lauren on September 5, 2023, according to New Jersey court documents.
Within the docs, Vito stated the reason why he was filing: “The parties have experienced irreconcilable differences for a period of at least six months which has caused the breakdown of their marriage and it is apparent that the marriage should be dissolved as there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.”
It appears the former couple still lives together in Wayne, New Jersey, given Vito includes the marital home that they purchased in 2016 as both of their addresses in the documents.
The former Bravo star was served the divorce docs on September 29.
A few days later, Lauren’s attorney informed the court that he was representing her in her divorce and was there to help with issues relating to the care, custody, and support of the parties’ child, and “all financial related issues, including, without limitation, alimony, equitable distribution, and counsel fees.”
The couple shares a 6-year-old daughter named Marchesa (Markie) Scalia.
