Former Miss Teen New Jersey Jamie Czerniawski claims she stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife in “self-defense,” according to a statement give to the New York Post. Charles Czerniawski, however, denies there was any self-defense going on and that his wife wanted to kill him. Czerniawski told the Post that her husband was jealous over a call she received from a male friend and came after her. She slashed him with the knife, she claims, to protect herself.

The Post alleges Czerniawski was having an affair with FDNY Firefighters calendar hunk Michael Biserta – who has his own scandal claim to fame by once doing full frontal nudity for a Guys Gone Wild video. The web site claims they have proof of sexually explicit text messages between Czerniawski and Biserta before the stabbing incident occurred. Biserta, meanwhile, is engaged to girlfriend Danielle Cipriano, whom he plans to marry in 2010.

Czerniawski is facing charges of aggravated assault and is currently free on bail.
