Two of Staub's former "Real Housewives of New Jersey" castmates have been added to a joint witness list filed Monday in  a federal defamation lawsuit filed late last year by Staub's ex-husband Kevin Maher.

Radar Online reports that two of the show's cast members --Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita -- are listed in the lawsuit as witnesses. According to the documents, Manzo plans to testify about defamatory statements made by Staub about Maher involving his alleged rape of her and alleged killing of her dog.

Manzo will also reportedly testify as to her opinion that Staub is dishonest and that her reputation in the community is that of a pathological liar, among other things, according to the gossip site.

Laurita will reportedly attest to the same opinions -- that Staub is allegedly "dishonest and that she has a reputation in the community for rampant dishonesty."
