Danielle Staub (pictured here in a publicity shot from BravoTV.com), the most controversial of the cast of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” has temporarily halted a sex tape featuring her and an ex-boyfriend from making it to the XXX industry. Staub had a New Jersey judge issue an injunction banning the release of any sexually explicit video or photos of her and former boyfriend Stephen Zalewski pending an upcoming hearing scheduled for sometime in July.

The couple split up last year and Staub is claiming the sex tape is in revenge for the jilt and that she was videotaped without knowledge. Her lawsuit filed today in Paterson, NJ  alleges invasion of privacy, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Staub made waves on the show for an alleged checkered past which reportedly could have included stints as an exotic dancer and model, and even has some reports claiming that she was once an escort in Miami.
