PATERSON, N.J. – A melee has broken out at a hearing for a pair charged in the deaths of two men found in a burning car owned by a woman who often appears on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

Clarence Williams and Gerry Thomas appeared in court Friday for a detention hearing. Bail was denied. They’ve pleaded not guilty to murder charges.

The two Paterson residents are charged with killing Aaron Anderson and Antonio Vega Jr., who were found last week inside a burning Audi.

An argument broke out in court between relatives of the victims and suspects. Obscenities were exchanged and objects thrown.

The Audi is owned by Kim DePaola, who often appears on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Anderson’s mother says he borrowed the car from DePaola’s son.
