AllAboutTRH EXCLUSIVE: The Reason Behind The Caroline And Dina Manzo Feud!
As you all know by now, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo and former RHONJ star Dina Manzo have not spoken for years and aren’t on good terms. Caroline likes to blame the fact that they don’t speak on Teresa but Dina denies Teresa has anything to do with it!
A source close to the family tells AllAboutTRH EXCLUSIVELY the real reason Dina stopped speaking to both Jacqueline and Caroline, “During season 2 of RHONJ, Dina was invited to leave the show because her husband or daughter wasn’t filming with her. That’s when Dina asked her family to leave the show with her and they refused. Once they refused, Dina realized where there heads were at and saw that all they really care about is being on reality television. Shortly after she left, she stopped speaking to them and while she does care to work things out with Caroline in the future, she wants nothing to do with Jacqueline. Dina knows Jacqueline has been behind several stories that have come out on the media about her and Dina knows Jac has made things worse between Dina’s brother Chris and herself. Dina’s just over the drama and knows being cordial with Jacqueline isn’t even a good idea!”
Oh snap! And I don’t blame Dina for thinking that way either. I don’t think Dina will ever be in a good place with Caroline until she gets off the show! Thoughts on there feud?

AllAboutTRH Meets RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice
Jacqueline is Evil. Glad she’s not my friend.
That doesn’t seem like a valid reason to stop speaking to your sister for two years. Gotta be more to it than that.
I agree, that sounds Kathy-like. For one thing, based on the track record I doubt Dina would really expect Jac to do anything for her. Also, the younger Manzos have no source of income outside of this show. They’re banking everything on it. Caroline even sold her businesses expecting to live off the show. Caroline isn’t going to choose Dina over her loser kids.
First of all – great exclusive Rox!!!!
Did Caroline sell off the businesses because of this show, or because the businesses were failing? No one would sell a thriving business, especially with 3 grown kids who could help ‘run’ them.
Her grown kids think they’re too good to work. From what I heard, she sold her businesses because she wanted to concentrate full-time on developing marketing opportunities from the show. (For the record I wasn’t comparing Kathy to Dina, I just think Dina’s alleged reasons sound fishy).
OMG ! Yes Their Is In The Biggest Way Shape and Form, ” Caroline & Jacqueline had LIED about everything and anything that’s sure. But you know it just shows us all how CAROLINE & JACQUELINE really are all these two do is go back and TALK ABOUT EVERYONE’S FAMILY, FRIENDS, IUQNTON’S,Caroline was even talking about her own daughter Lauren calling her all kinds of names that a mother shouldn’t been saying on TV. Then you have JACQUELINE that goes a RUNS to every Magazine’s, reports,NEW PAPER’S,and radio,tabloids and saying stuff about family especially DINA, saying her charity LADYBUG was FAKE an all the money for the sick children wasn’t going to them, Can you believe your sister in law saying all that on TWITTER to the whole world to see and the funny part is Caroline did nothing to STOP JACO-SICKO for telling everyone an on TWITTER. The best part was LAUREN took to her mothers TWITTER ACOUNT and said that someone hacked her mothers ACOUNT, That’s cuz poor DINA went on her sister’s Twitter an tried to say some stuff about her charity on line with Caroline’s Twitter to just let everyone know what was going on with her. Dina want to cool things down,.cuz of all the BS that was going.around, she thought it was going to be ok at the,time that Dina was using Carolines Twitter, Well poor Dina thought very wrong about her own sister Caroline,Jacqueline for sure. ” I could go on and on you have to LOOK it up, But I tell you its so SAD what those two did to DINA really. Now Caroline’s very PISS OFF at Teresa cuz she Always Talk with DINA and TERE was hanging around with her, CAROLINE & JAC were getting so mad, jealous you name it them two were off the wall. Then the book came out that Teresa had done,that’s when Teresa put that JOKE in their thinking it was the coolest stuff she ever did. Not Caroline was PISS at TERE for that one as well……… See what I’m trying to say here to you?? Teresa was going to loose no matter what with all of them because of Caroline & her back up Jacqueline and the rest of them ..
“WHAT A SHAME THAT THEY HAD TO GO SO FAR TO MAKE PEOPLE HATE OTHER’S…………..
Thank You for giving the me the time…..
PrettyPinkie, yes, I know what you’re saying. I agree with everything you’re saying. I knew all about that twitter rant, and what they did to sabotage and ruin Project LadyBug, and all the stuff Dina worked hard for. It’s sad how they’ll go to great lengths to destroy the people around then all because of hate and jealousy. Jacqueline had tried to ruin Dina, and she would always talk crap about her and say anything to get people’s attention. So many of her twitter followers believe what comes out of Jacqueline’s mouth, and they always attack Dina for the stuff Jacqueline mentions.
Caroline does things behind the scenes. She’s the sneaky one, and it’s horrible how bad she’s gotten. She’s 51 already, and she acts like a stupid teenager without a brain or a clue.
I agree with you both! Well said. Good job Roxy!
Bravo really sold the viewers short by inviting Dina to leave. I would rather watch Dina and Teresa braid each others hair over one more episode with the Manzo children and their friend Greg. I though this show was supposed to be about the housewives lives not their families. Besides I can think of several of the franchises where you rarelysee the spouse and nearly grown children or Bethanny she had no spouse during her time on the show and she was far more likable then when we saw her with her family on Bethanny ever after.
I’m not buying Bravo “invited” Dina to leave. Dina wanted to leave, Bravo let her break her contract. A lot of housewives appear without their spouses or children. Some of them don’t even have spouses or children or are even wives. I.E. Bethanny, at the beginning.
I think when danielle was continually contacting dina’s ex-sis in law then when danielle brought hell’s angels to her husbands place of work i believe that was the straw that broke the camel’s back and at that point dina was done and wanted nothing more to do with danielle. It seems she may have been hurt that her family didn’t support her more, but i think she wanted to stay away when danielle revealed it was jacqueline telling and forming danielle’s opinion. But i think it was after jacqueline put out stories to try to hurt dina and project ladybug along with things caroline did behind the scenes that has made dina truely stay away, i think more out of hurt then anger.
So true real housewife!
Mego I agree with you. There are already bits and pieces out there about why they are not speaking and dina leaving the show because her daughter and husband wouldn’t doesn’t make sense to me. They had dina on there and her daughter wasn’t filmed that much. Dina also clearly quit because of the issues going on with danielle. Her husband and daughter may be a small issue but the drama between her and danielle was to go od for bravo to not want her back. Also dina became more popular when she came back for the second season. I’m thinking maybe someone from Caroline camp is trying to blame dina for the feud and take the heat off of caroline. That whole story is putting the responsibility on dina saying she left and because her family didn’t go with her thats why they are not speaking. Sorry not buying it! we also already know that jac has been behind some things to hurt dina so it makes sense why she doesn’t want to deal with jacqueline. Dina seems to be a straight shooter and it appears that she is not a hurtful person so leaving the show would not be a reason for them to not talk or have a relationship. We all see carolines personality so it’s not hard to see why they have issues.
There is more to it than that, your correct. I heard about this over a few years ago and it’s not as cushy cushy nice as she is trying to portray. when she was “invited” to leave, it was really her being fired because she forged her husbands signature on the contract in regard to the daughter. Since Bravo didn’t do it’s due diligence following up on the people signing what, they couldn’t come out and say your fired because of your forgery. So they allow her to leave with a reason instead of all of a sudden not being there. Dina never liked Jax to begin with since she was the “home wrecker” that broke up her brothers engagement to her friend.
There is alot more to this and I think it got real nasty and also information came out that her on family was talking crap about her.
Glad DINASPARTY is doing well. Dina went thru a bad time because of Jacqueline. Too bad Chris didn’t stick with the Ex.
Jacko is a bitch! You can see how she likes to start trouble. I hope they get rid of her and DonCaro.
How does dina’s current husband fit in?
I think she wanted the support of her family. Just like when theresa flew home, her bro left with her. The manzos and lauritas let dina b released without a word.
Dina screwed up not her family. She is selfish beyond reason to want them to quit too.
I agree. I would never trust her w/ anything important. She would be a ‘fun’ friend, or ‘no’ friend, but I personally believe Teresa saw how she was which is why she never told her her own secrets. I don’t blame her at all!
Jacqueline has said herself she does evil things when she’s mad. She has definetly gone to press about Teresa, then turned around and blamed Teresa. Awful. When will Chris wake up?
Chris is an idiot. Nice guy but blind to all the BS his family is doing.
Jacqueline and Caroline are Evil! They are the HATERS! They are the ones who started with Teresa and Teresa saw thier true colors! Who in a million years would trust them as friends? Caroline with her filthy mouth and Jaqueline’s fake crying. They are so foolish to think that the viewers are that stupid! They probably thought everyone was going to side with them and nobody is buying it. My opinion is that they are the one’s who tried to mastermind the Teresa set up because they are very close friends with one of the producers of the show, who was fired about a week ago. Rumor has it that she botched up the editing and sequence of the show because she doesn’t likeTeresa. I believe Melissa and Kathy were behind it as well. Melissa will do anything to be famous and to get publicity, good or bad she doesn’t care and I think it is pretty obvious now. Once again they failed at trying to bring Teresa down! They only people they brought down was the children and sisters, brothers, and their parents.This is sickening to me and extremely SAD! I think Dina saw Jac’s true colors a long time ago!!!
100% agree with everything you said Jodi.
You are so right, Thank you for seeing what a lot of us has seen….
Especially after Jax called Dina a LIAR & COWARD re the Danielle Staub book at the famous “table flipping” dinner. She insisted Dina was the one to OUT the book even when Carowhine said she herself brought the book to the salon. She chose Danielle over her own family. Yet she continues to blame Teresa for being the cause of the Gorga-Giudice feud and takes Mels side over her friend of 10 years!!!
@ MGPA
That is when I realized Jacqueline is ” not right”, she made a complete fool out of herself. She got everything completely twisted. She does it again toght when she twists what Teresa says to her.
Jacqueline freakin NUTS!!!
@holycannoli
I AGREE WITH YOU! Teresa said, “Maybe someone’s trying to set me up and you’re behind it,” and Jacqueline turns that into, “how dare you accuse me of setting your sister up?” Completely twisted the situation. And what’s more, I don’t see how they could be mad at Tre for accusing Jac of potentially setting her up, when they were all quick to jump the gun and accuse her of setting up Melissa. It was written ALL OVER Melissa’s face when Angelo walked up to the table and introduced himself. She knew exactly how they knew each other. She was in a complete state of shock. And after realizing she was still on camera, she turned it into, “Kathy, you know when you know someone but can’t remember where,” as if she was so innocent and clueless as to who he was. Tre had nothing to do with this one, and Melissa should have just came clean instead of throwing Teresa under the bus.
And isn’t it funny when you think about it…. Teresa had enough presence of the situation to actually see the possibility of Jacqueline setting her up. Now THAT makes me think that Teresa knew just how shady and snakey ol’ Whack had been in other situations…… Even on the bus in NAPA when Whack confessed to Teresa “when I get mad/hurt, I get nasty”, Teresa’s reply was VERY matter of fact and basically “I know”.
Whack is not the saint she is trying to portray herself to be….she is a conniving one…
Another key that they were all in on this except Tre was the way kathy responded when tre said he heart was beating fast (she knew one of the famous bravo set ups was coming) and kathynreplies too quickly “wha didjya haf too much cawfey”. She’s worse than Melissa when it comes to acting.
Exactly, U can’t hide stupid. When Kathy told Tre, “did you have too much coffee?” I thought that was weird. The different looks that Kathy were making made me suspicious of her, and it’s obvious she was in on the plot. Especially Jacqueline! She looked so suspicious! Giving Kim D. looks, and waving to Angelo or the person behind, she gave this look like she knew what was about to go down! She was in on it with Cat the producer. What an evil, twisted monster she is.
I think Jax was telling the truth about Dina being the one bringing the book. While I am not a Jax fan did the family expect her to lie? I think that is the last time Jax stood up for the truth. It says more about the Lauritas morals to expect loyality over truth. The problems with Dina and Jax probably have been going on for years and should they have left the show beecause Dina expected it?
Dina & Jax go way back with their issues, I believe. It started with Chris Laurita’s former fiance being besties with Dina. Jax apparently had something to do with the breakup (showing up in Jersey preggo).
If that didn’t do it for Dina, then I think it was definitely Caroline seemingly “choosing” Jax and the show. I think Dina was furious with Jax for spilling the beans to Danielle about Dina’s ex-husband problems (reunion) and Caroline for cutting up about it (also at the reunion). So I don’t know if she expected from Jax as much as Caroline.
ITA this is exactly what I think happened:
1) Caroline does that strange laughs/cry “I can’t” thing on S1 reunion saying to danielle “you know what u did”. Knowing full well that the fact that she’d signed her hubby sig made her contract w bravo null and voic. Andy couldn’t even save his face housewife (Dina) from bravos attorneys opinion. They said, ” get rid of her”.
Perhaps in Franklin lake housewife businesses contracts don’t count for very much. But when that much money is at stake they’re all we have to bring into court in the event of a disagreement.
So this is when Dina asks everyone to stand behind her. She doesn’t see the sig as a big deal. Her ex didn’t get mad, etc. But the other girls didn’t get behind her to any great degree and this hrt Dina. She was the cornerstone character, she was the “one”.
In truth I’m not sure how much the other girls could have done for her. But I can understand Dina wanting the support.
2) Jac is all mad that she’s not getting social media attention and points her green daggers at Dina. DIna of the GORG eyes and honey hair who always looks wonderful in her TH interviews. Jacs tells about project lady bug. But she doesn’t admit to being the one who told danielle about the fake sig. That one she leaves as proof tht danielle is “out to get” their family.
3) so now bravo has lost the fambly they were going to use to show drama – the good and the bad, etc. etc. etc. But into the picture pops Melissa and joe Gorga to the rescue….lol.
4) surprise, it was Melissa feeding info to the tabloids about tres banktruptcy..or maybe villain #1 danielle to get back at “those woman” lol (remember danielle would use the singular instead of plural?)… Or was it little sweet Jacqueline. Smdh maybe all three.
5) Andy – never one to let a good family debacle pass him by – latches onto the Gorgas and assigns Cat Rot to the producers role.
But it makes me wonder…. Who would have been the sacrificial lamb had Dina not had to leave the show?
Voic-should be void
Face- should be fave
I think typos are obvious and can figure out what’s meant
First watch the episode again…..Dina is the one who even bought the book to everyones attention and if I’m correct and i’ve seen the episode twice she’s the one who did bring it to the salon….but left it up to Caroline as she always did to be the big bad bully…>Caroline took the fall for Dina and even admitted it to the cameras that she’d be the bad guy to protect her sister….what is this website a pro Teresa site…come on be more biased….
I was with you until the very end… let people say what they want to say.
Why are you here if you don’t like Teres? Sorry but you are leaving out loads of stuff which comes down to why this website is more pro teresa. Leave and don’t come to this site if you don’t like it! Go to reality tea and Bravo to get your information. You will find that they all bash teresa so you might be more comfortable there.
Ummm…what? First of all, they never showed who took the book into Chateau and secondly, Caroline has never “admitted” in taking the fall for Dina nor has she ever said that she would be the bad guy to protect Dina regarding the book. So perhaps you should watch the episode again.
As far as who brought the book to everyone’s attention, who cares if it was Dina or not? It was Teresa who actually showed the ook in her talking head interview. And it was both Caroline and Dina who googled the book together.
Dont forget “loyal” Jac & Caro then MET woth Danielles ex from the book to continue bashing her. Poisonous women
YUP ! Caroline was the one BEHIND THAT WHOLE THING ABOUT THE BOOK and like always she again LIED. Caroline thinks because she TALKS and talks everyone is going to BELIEVE HER. She is good about TALKING I have to give her that, But to BELIEVE HER IS A OTHER THING……. JACO-SICKO SHE’S THE OTHER ONE, SHE’S always running to who ever will give her to TIME of day. Caroline’s other sister COOKIE don’t want nothing to do with her for what she did to her other sister Dina, Brother’s I mean it just keeps going on an on for what she has done to all of THEM. CAROLINE’S OWN MOTHER & FATHER DON’T WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH HER. DINA’S HUSBAND IS HALF OWNER OF THE BROWN STONES SO YOU SEE CAROLINE LIED ALL ABOUT THEM OWNING THAT TOO, THATS WHY CAROLINE SONS OPEN THEIR OWN RESTAURANT CUZ THEY KNEW DINA’S HUSBAND WAS NOT GOING TO SELL HIS HALF.
Good point about the Frownstone. Why the hell should Dina’s husand Tommy carry those slack ass Manzo adult kids.
Jac is butting into the Gorga/Guidices business and yet she’s at odds with her sister-in-law, and her husband is not speaking to his sister. She’s guilty of everything she accused Teresa of. The only difference is Teresa’s family is the one on display.
Jac’s problem was while they were taping season 3 and 4 she didn’t realize anyone would find out because they had their producer friend editing everything in their favor.
That’s why BRAVO fired them cuz they open their mouths and if I’m not to mistaking they did sign a privacy paper to not say anything about what goes on. All the things the women do happen months before time.
YES, YOU ARE A 100% RIGHT , BUT ALL OF THEM ARE TRYING SO HARD TO GET TERESA’S FAMILY TO GO AT “WAR” . MELISSA WALKED RIGHT INTO THAT ONE. A lot of us just only see what’s on the SHOW, NOT anywhere else, and that’s what really s&#ks cuz if we did the picture would be so much bigger.
Jacqueline has a whole set of screws loose. With a SIL like her, I’d rather have an enemy.
This makes sense. However, D and J are going to dent, deny, deny….. They will still say T involved. C will NEVER admit that T had nothing to do with it. Sad
I’ve heard about this during the reunion last year. I personally hope Teresa finds peace, Dina and T stay friends, and that karma works its way to the others.
Same here..wishing for Teresa the peace that Dina found leaving the show and moving upward away from the Bravo crap!
Same here.
Jaq is a drunken bipolar person who needs help she trashed her own daughter on national tv need I say more. Ashlee was at a tough age for a young adult living around the marvelous Manzos spoiled rotten, and her mother was ridin her. My god Lauren only went to beauty school two three ago. She is 24 what did she do for 4 years after high school. They are a bunch of two faced biggoted people so over all of ten.
I had never considered how Ashlee only had to look at the Manzo children to see how a God sent mother handed everything over to those kids.No wonder she finds Jac to not be a very good mother.Don`t get me wrong I really believe you can not value anything in this world until you get off your ass and earn it.
ya know, Asslee was no better nor worse that Lapband.
That is what made it HYSTERICAL when Lapband got all over Asslee about drawing the picture for that first ‘business’ she had, you know, the one she closed the very next day after filmed grand opening party……
I like to know if Lumpy Lauren is licensed in N.J. and licensed for what in cosmotology. I don’t think she does hair, just make up. We only saw her once or twice at school. Did she even finish or did Mommy and Daddy buy her the license too. Fakes, frauds, and liars. Cafface = Catpiss
I think cafface is the dumbest name for a beauty business. It doesn’t harken anything pretty or desirable. Indeed… It sounds like catpiss
So true! They are all uneducated trying to cheat and steal their way through life.
This makes sense; it’s not really a stretch that Don Caro and Wacko Jacko wouldn’t leave the show even when Dina asked them to.
It does and Dina pretty much said this I’m her own blog, accept for the part about filming or not filming with daughter/hubby. Jac also blasted Dina several times on twitter around Holidays last year- not very nice, especially when you are acting like you are inviting someone to join the dinner. Thats why Dina will not speak to Jax- she is too public with personal matters and likes to be spiteful.
@ michers
Oh I saw what Jacqueline did to Dina on twitter at the holidays..That was really shitty.. That Jacqueline is a real B!!!
what did she do?
MaryEllen – check this out – hope its ok to post a link:
http://www.examiner.com/article/real-housewives-of-new-jersey-twitter-war-on-christmas-eve-gets-ugly
I don’t believe that she got mad because C and J wouldn’t leave. There has to be more than that. At last year’s reunion Teresa mentioned that Caroline really hurt her.
@ Sky
I do remember hearing/ reading this rumor way back when Dina first left the show, I always thought it was ridiclous. I mean why would she want them to leave, just because she was leaving?
I remember Dina saying that she quit speaking to all of them after she left, she needed to clear herslf from the show, or something like that.
I think what happened between Caroline and Dina was on a more ” personal ” level. Teresa did say something at the reunion that Caroline backstabbed her. I really wonder what it was.
I have heard rumors that Caroline went to Bravo about Jamies wedding when Dina was orignally suppose to have it on her show. Hmm..
Also, Dina has said many times that she is not going to say why they are feuding because it could hurt her parents. I don’t think them feuding bc the other girls didn’t leave, is going to hurt their parents.
Absolutely @ Sky I agree.
I do beleive whatever happened between Caroline and Dina was very personal, and hurtful. Them not speaking for all this time, it had to have been something pretty rough. Just my opinion.
There is more to the story. Dina was forced to leave. Bravo gave her the option of showing the viewers that she was leaving on her own terms. Dina asked Caroline and Jacko to stand behind her and form a united front and threaten toesve also. They refused. Not sure of Teresa’s involvement. Then when Dina stopped speaking to them Jacko got mad. Jacko leaked the story to Lynn Hudson who blogged about it. The bog is still out there. Lynns blog Was anti Dina. So Jacko long ago did exactly what she a caused Te of doing. Slandering family for a story. Only problem was Jacko can’t get a magazine and was reduced to bloggers. Also Angry Chuckie got her brother Jamie to go with Bravo to air his wedding. Even though he had promised it to Fina for Dina’s Party he went with Bravo for a larger audience. Hence the reason most of hid family did not show up.
Oh Ok Jojo
I do remember reading about all of this all over the net a while ago.
I also know that Jacqueline was really tight with Lynn Hudson and gave her ” stories’ all the time. I remember what she did to Dina about PLB. That was awful, and 100% false!! It was proven what Lynn wrote was all lies.
i miss Lynn’s blog, may she rest in peace, but i did find she was very biased towards Dina(she didn’t like Dina would sometimes delete her tweets) glad your not over here, this is my newly adopted home for venting and discussing everything housewives after Lynn:( i’ve only posted a few times but each time i felt heard and encouraged added TRH to my bookmarks bar it’s official
Welcome aboard Kristy!
I read some where that Jac tried to ruin Dina’s livelyhood and bashed her name and her new show on hgtv to a reporter. Also Caroline and Jac never supported Dina. I guess they tried to bring her down as well and also wanted a peice of the pie, because Dina went solo on hgtv and I think they wanted credit for that too. (It was something to that effect) They are some Greedy, Ass mo fo’s.
Sky, I agree. There is more to the feud between Dina and family. I don’t believe Dina would cut off her relationship with family just because they refused to leave the show with her. I think it had something to do with Dina allegedly forging her ex husbands signature so their daughter could film. If I’am right about this, that tells me Caroline/Jac may have been involved. If they did have anything to do with it, I would never be able to forgive them. This could of resulted in a major problem with Dina’s custody agreement and even child protected services could of been brought in. This is about as low as it gets.
Well Caroline made it obvious there was a large issue when she did her strange laugh/cry “I can’t” thing when she to.d danielle u
“u know what you did” at S1 reunion. Dina was telling her to stop, we’re not discussing that, ec. Etc. but Caroline HAD to show she was angry because “she can’t be fake”. Even back then, when she said that I said “oh brother, u just bought ur family a lifetime of misery”. Selfish!
So that’s what made Dina angry. She was supposed to leave on her won terms which would have left open the possibility to come back (if she found someone to film with all the time). Caroline put the Ki-bosh on that
I agree Sky, there has to be more to the story. I think caroline/jac did something much worse. It might have something to do with Dina’s ex huband not wanting their daughter to be filmed. I could never forgive either one of them if they were involved in anything having to do with my childs welfare.
oops, thought they didn’t post my first response so re-wrote it. sorry
didn’t think they posted first post so rewrote sorry
it takes a minute to post sometimes
Well, the other rumor out there is besides the fact that Jac and Caroline never supported Dina when she went onto HGTV AND that Dina was planning on doing Jamie’s wedding party on her show, and Caroline (that bitch) asked Bravo to do it first! Of course, Jamie took the offer because of the wider audience. So sad, those two (Jac and Caro) are wicked women.
And Teresa probably agreed with Dina’s suggestion…that is the reason why Caroline and Jacqueline suddenly found hate for Teresa.
On a different note, how does the story line continue? As no one wants to film with Teresa, how does she stand in the picture? Is this hate on Teresa by Jacqueline and Caroline a script so they can continue the show by having a rekindling of their friendship. Meanwhile, Melissa is outed for who is she and Kathy and her husband have nothing nice to say about Teresa so they continue with that story line. Just my two pennies worth!
Caroline’s hatred for Teresa is supposedly because of a fight that broke out last season (3) in the Dominican Republic. The manzo boys, joe guidice and others were detained and sued because of a fight that broke out supposedly over some guy saying something to Teresa and the boys backing her up (the story is online, you can definitely still find it). Caroline s mad that Teresa never did anything of appreciation for her boys and now they and bravo are in a law suit over this ( which explains why it was never shown or can be discussed on bravo programming). The cookbook and magazine covers are just a cover up for the real reasons she hates her – that fight and jealously of her success. We’ll never hear the real reasons though bc the fight is a law suit case and the jealously is something Caroline would never fess up to.
As far as story lines go, Teresa is supposedly the only one guaranteed a spot back. I think jac and Caroline will be gone next season, and possibly Kathy too. Bravo fired those producers because they know screwing over Teresa is a big mistake. Unless jac and Caroline agree to makeup with Teresa, I can’t see them returning. And I think 2-3 new people will be brought on to freshen this series up. There’s no way a third Teresa bash-fest will occur season 5
I feel like its more to this story. Remember Teresa told Caroline that she backstabbed Dina. It just can’t be that they didn’t want to leave the show with her.
“…Dina was invited to leave the show…” What does that mean? The producers asked her to leave? So Dina was angry with Chris and Carolyn because they wanted to remain part of the cast and that’s the real riff? If that’s the case, Dina is/was being somewhat childish if she felt her siblings should leave the show because she was asked to go. I am beginning to believe that there is not one normal, rational person associated with RHONJ.
I miss the first 2 seasons of Orange County. To me it seemed more real there was no back stabbing, everyone got along and behaved with class, it wasn’t an hour long infomercial with cat fights thrown in. It was fun to watch. I can’t stand what BRAVO has done to this show. IMO I think they had ok ratings on OC and once they started with the other cities the ratings weren’t as good as they hoped so they encouraged this trash behavior. All i can say is I hope that get paid enough money to make themselves look like fools for the world to see week after week.
Dina was fired but allowed to save face. Apparently, Dina forged her ex’s signature on the contract to allow her daughter to film. Danielle ratted her out and with her husband (Tommy) not filming and her daughter (Lexi) not ALLOWED to film all they were left with was Dina and Grandma Wrinkles. So they said buh bye. Dina wanted to take Jacko and Caro with her but they chose to stay. Hence, the comment about Danielle trying to get Dina’s daughter taken away from her by exposing the forgery to Bravo and Lexi’s father.
But the question is how Danielle knew. Jac was feeding her the information same as she was doing with Lynn. If my insane sister-in-law was trying to ruin my life and my sister not only didn’t support me but was costing up to the malicious nut for camera time, I would be mad too.
Cozying
That’s how I think danielle got the info from Jac. Caro also may have to,d Dina she didn’t want to film w her but instead wanted to showcase her kids,.. Lol, Cos I think Dina was welcome to stay as long as she had a storyline. Who knows how deep the hurt went. But I wouldn’t underestimate the pettiness of sisters espntwo so different and separated by their looks.
At the WWHL, Teresa said talked about Dina leaving and specifically said that “Dina didn’t leave because of me” and then started to say something about the reason but stopped.
On the season 2 reunion LARGE MARGE was trying to make it seem like Dina left to get away from Danielle,Large MARGE even said something along the lines of Dina doesn’t have tough skin like us and the stress and drama from Danielle was more then she could handle and Danielle basically laughed in her face and said the reason she left wasn’t because of her and of course ANdie didn’t question anything else.
On that same reunion, Teresa also clearly states that the reason Dina left the show was because of Danielle.
They all said it was because of Danielle= Jacqueline, Caroline and Teresa.
Danielle was the only one that wasn’t buying that she was the only reason why Dina left!!
i think they meant that Danielle got in contact with Dina’s ex and encouraged him to stop his daughter from being filmed which lead to grandma wrinkles being the only one Dina could film with when she was at her home and there for did not have an interesting enough storyline so she was asked to leave… i think she did ask the manzos/lauritas to rally behind her because they joined the show together and thought they could have forced bravo not to let her go bc there was no way the show would have survived losing 3/4 of its cast that early on in the NJ franchise Jac and Caroline said no but took Dina’s suggestion to band together and got more $$$$ and danielle ousted as well.
i can see where someone could see Dina’s request as being selfish but im more sympathetic I mean you can say blood is thicked than water till your blue in the face but actions speak louder then words and when it came down to it childish or not her family chose bravo and BLK water over their own blood.
come on if it was on the other foot Dina wouldn’t have left….Dina is used to be the star…she was on another reality show about weddings before this one….and them not leaving was a betrayal seeing that Caroline always protected her babysister and Dina could do no wrong….
I thought Dina was mad at Caroline because Caroline pressed the issue with Danielle, trying to ‘destroy’ her and even testified in court against her for Danielle’s husband. The more Caroline messed with Danielle the more Danielle messed back, with all of them, leading to Danielle reaching out to Lexy’s father who didn’t want Lexy filmed…. this of course lead to Dina being asked to leave the show. If Caroline had of just dropped everything with Danielle, Danielle wouldn’t have went so far and cost Dina her spot on the show. We all know Dina would have been begging Caroline to let it go and we all know Caroline wouldn’t stop until Danielle was dust in the wind.
I believe that is why she left. Caroline was just becoming an ugly person. She was lying just to bring Danielle down. Just like she and the rest of the girls are doing to Teresa.
stopped agian. Screw Andy
@Kristy….LMAO, Grandma Wrinkles.
Jax is certifiable! She needs to dry out and get serious therapy. Her kids need her. What’s more important–your kids or being on TV?
What is wrong w Chris Laurita? He is another one that needs to put his wife in her place. I hope jacko gets kicked off the show. She brings nothing to it!
This does not surprise me. I’ve always said Caroline and Jacqueline hate Teresa because she took over the show. Teresa was supposed to be the friend on THEIR show, now the show has become about HER. Of course these famewhores would react the way they’ve done.
Although i like Dina, she shouldn’t asl her family to remove themselves from the show. She’s a smart girl and she knows that they were under contract, therefore i don’t believe that story, which i have heard before.They would have been sued if they walked away. Plus even though i do not like Caroline nor Jac, both of them are stay home mothers who found an opportunity to make money, why leave?. On the otherhand, i always felt that Caroline nor Dina liked Jac, and Caroline only tolerates Jac NOW since she is no longer speaking with Dina. Also Chris Laurita does not give a hoot about what his Sisters thinks, HE ALWAYS SEEM TO TAKE THE OTHER SIDE.
I don’t know that she asked them to leave but perhaps show allegiance in speaking to Andy or IF bravo was willing to let her continue w/o Lexi then she had to find a storyline and maybe Caroline and Jac didn’t want to help her out. Caro had her story – fambly, her kids. Jac had poor ashlee.
OMG, I have said this in the past and was never taken seriously! I had read a long time ago that Dina was fired because they were not allowed to film Tommy or Lexi so I automatically assumed that when her family stayed on the show there were hard feelings. It made sense to me that that was why she wasn’t really talking to Teresa either. But so many people came out and said she chose to walk away from the show that I just started thinking maybe I was wrong about the whole thing. Caroline is not all about family, she is all about Caroline and her own immediate family. Now I want to know the real story about Jaime’s wedding and if she really did steal it from Dina’s show.
Jaco is seriously disturbed. Did you all see her on WWHL last week? She was laughing like a mental patient and acting all innocent when Mandy Cohen would ask her questions.
Not buying this as the sole reason for the rift. Dina has always shown herself to be the kind of person that expects people to do what makes them happy. There would be no reason for her to insist on Caroline and Jac leaving the show just because that choice worked for her. Now the idea of Jac turning Chris against her could definitely be a reason why she not only feels scorned by Jac but why she wouldn’t have been at her brother Jamie’s wedding, that is if there was no way around having that filmed by Bravo.
Agree.
Dina has also said NO ONE knows everything about their fued.
Reading this it makes more sense to me as to why Jac is ok with everything Melissa is doing to T. She is the Melissa of her family. She is coming between a brother and sister and obviously doesn’t see anything wrong with that. Jac has no idea what being an honorable person to a family is. She will stab anyone in the back and she will put anyone’s business on blast if she get mad. How mature, huh.
Bravo recently had pics of Dina. There was one of her with a fro on. Teresa was right behind her with a big smile. They were so silly. I miss Dina. I really wish they would bring her back.
Why should Jac and Caroline get off the show just to kiss Dina’s arse? Dina wasted no time finding a new show that is all about her. Caroline’s family and Chris have good reason to continue w/show to promote new businesses. There is a lot at stake. If Dina really loved Chris, she would accept his wife. They have been married 10+ years and have a family. Rather than shun anyone who doesn’t do her bidding, she should build bridges. Also, she has shi$$y choices in friends. Theresa has exploited her family and friends in ways C and J have never done. Both C and J have turned down covers that exploited family relations. Also, they are way more down to earth and appreciative than gimme, gimme, gimme Theresa.
Pretty sure when Dina supposedly asked Caroline and Jac to leave, they had ZERO businesses to “promote.” And seeing as how they’re supposedly “think as thieves” Dina probably expected them to stick with her. Dina DID accept Jac and loved her, but it was Jac who had issues with Dina (Danielle pointed that out) and it was Jac who blindly blamed Dina for showing the book at the salon when she didn’t know whether it was or not.
Funny how you blame Teresa for “exploiting” her family when they were the ones who exploited themselves by signing onto a reality show. Like Teresa or not, she never said anything about her family until they came onto the show airing their family’s dirty laundry. That’s a fact. And LOL at Caroline and Jac not exploiting their friends. What do you call what they did to Teresa? They exploited her for a storyline. Jac turned down covers that exploited family relations because she’s too busy tweeting about it. FACT.
Okay I am not a huge fan of any one person on the show but did everyone forget that there was a custody battle between Dina and her daughters father that caused her to have to get off the show. The daughter did one or two shows and then we did not see her again. That was made clear at the first season reunion. I do not care for Theresa because I think she is very manipulative and conniving. The way she says you have to be loyal to me and not her sister in law because she knew them first, now that’s some first grade mess. I love how she thinks that what she put in her book was a joke when it wasn’t. She talked about her supposed friend and her children and then expected her not to be mad…bull! They all have issues and I really see how petty people can be when looking at these shows. It is ridiculous that these women act like this all while raising children and expecting them to behave and be cordial to others when they themselves are not doing the same. Simple minded ppl!
agree!
If that’s the case, Dina is dead wrong. She should not be upset because her family does not want to quite their jobs for her. I hope its more to the story. I would not ask my sis to quit her job for me. She has a family to take care of.
I had read during last years reunion it was because of Caroline and Jaq went to far but it was vague amd then i read the brothers wedding caused even more conflict with Caroline winning the airing of it over Dina. The blog stated that Tre told Dina what was going on from information (jaq perhaps) This made no sense because Dina plans events. It would have been awesome! There is more to this then meets the news, so to say, and I find it not entertaining that Caroline has voiced her opinion as Tre being to blame. Dina said it had nothing to do with Tre at all. Go figure…
Why would Dina assume that just because she was “invited” to leave that Caroline & Jac should leave the show as well? They have the right to choose for themselves if they want to remain on the show. Seriously, this is what her feud with them is all about?
I’m not a fan of Caroline or Jac but IMO Dina is very much in the wrong here.
Invited to leave??? SHE WAS FIRED!!! She FORGED her ex-husband’s signature so that Lexi could be filmed. Get your facts straight Roxy. DINA IS A BITTER RESENTFUL BEEOTCH!
WELL DINA NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE REST OF THE GIRLS ARE MATURE WOMEN AND CAN MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS…..SHE SHOULDN’T TAKE IT SO PERSONAL…JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE THE SHOW….THAT’S RIDICULOUS….
AS FOR JACQULINE, I ALWAYS KNEW HER LITTLE “OH, POOR ME” MARTYRDOM/VICTIM.. WAS BULLSHIT….IT’S ALWAYS THE QUIET ONES, THAT YA GOTTA WATCH!
That explains why Teresa told her husband, Joe not to trust Chris or Jacqueline. Dina warned Teresa about Jacqueline.
As for the feud between Dina and Caroline, if Dina is angry at Caroline for not walking off the show with her, then I have to believe that Dina was being very selfish. I would never ask my sister to quit something she enjoys because I have a problem. There must be something more to it than this. A Lot More.
Maybe Caroline provided Danielle with private information regarding Dina? It would make sense. Caroline wants to be the one on the pedestal and Dina was already at the top sitting at that pedestal. I think Caroline became insecure. Dina didn’t need Caroline and Caroline knew that. Caroline got jealous and insecurity set in, and called Danielle. See, Danielle knew how to contact Dina’s ex-husband. How did Danielle know how to contact Dina’s ex? Only one person. Caroline. Caroline gave that information to Jacqueline, and Jacqueline passed it to Danielle. Caroline did everything through Jacqueline to keep her from getting dirty. When the stories break, and Jacqueline is found involved, like many stories have been found to involve Jacqueline, nothing comes back on Caroline because she (Caroline) only told one person…. Jacqueline. Caroline is slick. Jacqueline is Caroline’s puppet. Dina and Teresa are not Caroline’s little puppets, and guess what happened with that? Caroline turned on them.
Caroline has to feel needed and appreciated.
Why do you think Caroline likes Melissa and Kathy? They make Caroline feel superior, needed, wanted and appreciated. That ass kissing nonsense only lasts so long though.
