Former ‘RHOC’ Star Says Ex-Boyfriend Pistol-Whipped Her

Reality TV star Elizabeth Lyn Vargas says she met Ryan Geraghty at a bar in 2022 after she finished filming "Real Housewives of Orange County." She says Geraghty began extorting her for thousands of dollars. Vargas tells Inside Edition's Jim Moret that after weeks of extortion, his threats became increasingly violent and he would physically assault her. Geraghty later pleaded guilty to attacking Vargas and received a six-year prison sentence.
