'Jerseylicious': 2 Cast Members Fired, Then Hired

The last part of the Season 3 reunion special was filled with personal and business drama.

Salon jobs evaporated like hairspray in the atmosphere—only to have new positions appear just as quickly.

"Jerseylicious" stylists Tracy DiMarco and Gigi Liscio were fired for lining up jobs with another salon behind their employer's back.

They were canned in the final part of the "Wild and Untamed" reunion special that aired Sunday, wrapping up Season 3 of "Jerseylicious."

Cast members also rehashed an incident during Season 3 filming in which stylist Olivia Blois Sharpe kicked DiMarco in the head while DiMarco was on the ground during an altercation at a club.

DiMarco said she wasn't impressed with Blois Sharpe's apology for the incident because it came weeks afterward, and she said Blois Sharpe—a Montville High School grad who went on to star on the show—can turn her tears on and off like a magic trick.

At one point, DiMarco makes a plea for an end to cruel comments about her online.

"These people know that I'm a good person," DiMArco says, gesturing to the cast members around her.

"But some people love to see if they can push your buttons," host Vivica A. Fox says.

DiMarco says people can and do push her buttons.

"They can," a seemingly desperate DiMarco says, looking straight into the camera. "You guys have won OK. You won. Leave me alone. "

Blois Sharpe has said she's thankful she wasn't wearing a shoe when she kicked DiMarco and "that night honestly was one of the lowest points in my life."

"If Tracy had gotten really hurt, I don't think I could ever live with myself," she said.

DiMarco said she didn't remember the kick because she was disoriented. Subsequent tests showed she had a concussion, she said.

On the special, Blois Sharpe said she snapped when DiMarco attacked her boyfriend and because her anger toward DiMarco had been brewing since DiMarco said something hurtful involving her family.

"She put her hands on him and I lost it because, honestly, Mike, he's my world. And like if that sounds stupid then it does. But he is," she said.

"And there's been things that I've held back. Tracy had said to me that, you know, I need the love of the fans because my family doesn't love me."

DiMarco and Liscio were canned by Gayle Giacomo, a Bridgewater resident who owns Green Brook-based Gatsby Salon, where they worked. They were welcomed aboard at the salon they were dealing with, a new salon to be opened by Anthony Lombardi and Cathy Giove.

Giacomo and her daughter Christy Pereira, also a Bridgewater resident, said they weren't happy people apparently were talking behind their backs.

"I mean, if you guys don't know where you want to be, I'll make the decision for you," Giacomo says. "I guess you're fired. You can go with Anthony and Mrs. Giove."

Lombardi said they should talk about it. But Giacomo seems ready to move on.

"I'm a strong woman," Giacomo says. "I've gotten this far. I'll get even farther."
