Dina Manzo Keeps It Classy! Congratulates Sister On Book Deal!

August 24, 2012 | By | 217 Replies Continue Reading

As most of you know, former RHONJ star Dina Manzo isn’t on speaking terms with sister and current RHONJ star Caroline Manzo. Despite all the family drama, Dina took to twitter to congratulate her sister on landing a book deal!

Dina wrote, “Congratulations to my sister on her book deal! No matter what I’m happy for her : )”

Dina Manzo-always keeping it classy! I thought it was very nice of her to congratulate Caroline especially since Caroline has not once tweeted or congratulated Dina about her HGTV show ‘Dina’s party!’

    Oh but Caroline will now watch and see; guarantee; Caroline is a bitter old troll; and if her book doesn’t do well guess she will blame thant on T as well. Watch for the tweets on Sat evening

    • nannynonna says:

      This is a really old photo. What has made Caroline so angry and controlling? She is very bitter, as you said.

      • Kelly says:

        I didn’t even recognize her with a smile. Typically it’s a scowl.

        • Say What?? says:

          Thats what Caroline looked like before fame went to her head. She turned ugly inside. That bleeds to the outside! Shes an ugly old hag now.

          • marie says:

            I think that fame just enhanced what was really already there.

          • Tracey says:

            Oh yes fame fame fame ! Has Dina got in touch with her brother to support him over his Son being diagnosed with Autism we think not yes she is very classy

      • Chelz says:

        My guess is a couple of things, 1) she HATES that Dina and Tre are close friends and she can’t do anything about it and 2) I have a strong feeling Albert is having affairs based on T’s comment on her blog.

      • JanieG says:

        Husband who sleeps away often…for years; kids getting too old to totally control every second when they move out (finally); ventures not successful like “she who must not be named”; daughter who isn’t exactly like you want her to be: thin; younger sister having her own show and not her boys; not the break out star she thought she and her family would be/should be and some ninny like T. getting that spot…..and let’s not forget menopause, altho I don’t remember that making any of my friends just downright mean!

        • reddvette says:

          So true. The outside is reflecting the inside, Caroline seems not to care hoow she is veiwed due maybe because of the close relationship with Andy.

          • donnalee says:

            HA! Caroline better think again because even though Andy was not mean to her on #WWHL last night, he did not go easy on her at all. She best remember that he is about the $ and she will never bring it now. How stupid was she to think that viewers of the show would just on her *crap* wagon! She should’ve made sure the person she was told to destroy actually hated her and was out to get her like Danielle..Doing what Bravo producers tell you to do, does not always work out!

  2. Cantik says:

    Dina obviously has more common sense than her OLDER sister …and yes Dina always keeping it classy…

  3. Annie says:

    Love Dina. Hate Caroline.

    • Daisy says:

      I love Dina too. I watch her show Dina’s Party and it’s lovely to see her on TV doing something fun and positive.

      Dina can be happy for Caroline and wish her well, despite “everything” but Caroline will hold on to her vendetta of hate and being bitter until the end. I hope whatever success Caroline achieves was worth the loss of her sister to her.

      • JanShe says:

        I watch her show as well, and enjoy it, it is nice to see Dina and Lexi.
        Lexi has grown up to be a lovely young lady, and so pretty, just like her Mother.

  4. Valerie says:

    Love Dina, BUT she didn’t congratulate Caroline. Nowhere in that tweet did I see @Carolinemanzo or whatever her twitter handle is. She put a tweet out to her followers which gives the idea that she is above the frey.

    • julie says:

      caro-clown probably has her blocked on twitter anyways

      • jen says:

        I was thinking the same thing about the having her blocked. But I’m sure its clear who she meant unless she has other sisters writing a book. At least she made the attempt to be cival you can tell there is no jealousy there unlike LARGE MARGE who is jealous of anyone who has something more then her

    • Isabella Patricia says:

      She still said congratulations to Caroline which says a lot about her character. Caroline would never do that because she’s such a bitter, jealous old woman who can’t be happy for everyone else.

    • Candida says:

      Exactly I mean call your sister on the phone why are they always trying to impress us or whatever they are doing so stupid

    • JanShe says:

      Dina has more class in her pinkie finger than Caro, has ever had.

  5. southernbell317 says:

    Dina is always classy in every situation… love her!

  6. Heidi says:

    Classy lady!

  7. Mrs. R says:

    Amazing how different Caroline looks in this photo. Smiling really changes her face.

    • michers says:

      She had less insecurities at that time and less bitterness

      • hoolie says:

        that photo “almost” makes me feel sad for her.
        Instead of being so caught up on hate, anger, jealousy and destruction, if she let that go and concentrated on positive things, she could be taking a picture just like that RIGHT NOW with her sister…..

  8. Joanna says:

    I wonder how Carolines behavior has effected business at the Brownstone? Is it an event only place or can you go and have dinner there? I would think Tommy and Dina would want Caroline to shut up already to keep a good face at the Business.

    • Lee says:

      It is an event only place. It is still very popular because it is a beautiful place with great food. They are very generous to charitable organization.

      • Jennifer says:

        A beautiful place? It is a hell hole. I have been there for several events and one just this year. The food is awful. It is a catering hall. The Manor is much better. The fact is NJ does not have many event venues that are nice outside of country clubs. If you are not a member or can get a member to sponsor for the event usually you cannot have your wedding there.

        The Brownstone is the last one most everyone’s list. It is old. The venue interior is dark and tasteless. The food quality is poor. It is located right next to Patterson which is awful. It is like going thu Newark, NJ.

        Please no one that has any money goes to the Brownstone. When you have friends who get married or who have an event you go. I just wished they asked because I would have sponsored them at the club because the Brownstone is a hell hole.

        • U can't hide stupid says:

          Hey Jennifer… LTNS. I agree about the Brownstone, it’s also in a seedy area. The manor is ok and yeah if you don’t want to travel inside a 10 mile radius it probably is the only other events only place. But i thought once you got out west on 80 toward morristown or southwest in horse country (sussex county) , there are events overly event places that are also bed & breakfasts – or have that kind of horse country, golf clubby feeling bout them. I’ve only been to a few and I live in NYC so u would know better, but it’s just my perception.

          However, on the brownstone, you’re so right. We had my MIL memorial brunch at the manor. Thy did a wonderful job. If we’d had it at the brownstone, I don’t know that I would have felt safe with all the elderly family members out there. It is right in the pit of Patterson. I haven’t eaten there but when we we’re looking at menus it didn’t impress. Especially at those prices!

          • U can't hide stupid says:

            I nt even going to try to correct all of the auto-types…lol
            O I will:

            Travel OUTSIDE A 10 mile…

            “events only” (in quotes).

            There are events only places that are also….

            They (The Manor) did….

      • Jennifer says:

        Additionally the Brownstone is a for-profit-business. They are not a charitable organization. The events for charities are not mainstream. This is the first I have heard of Autism Speaks using this venue. I have been a donor of Autism Speaks both NYC and NJ for 4 years. Please brownstone is a hell hole.

        • Joanna says:

          That Albert guy seems shady,(I have no proof because I don’t know him or live there),but something about him reeks of imbessling, cheating, cost cutting guy. Just his attitude and arrogance gives way to a man that things he can get away with anything. If I was Tommy and Dina, I would keep an eye on that guy.

          • Candida says:

            I that that is they reason they do not talk because of something shady albert did with the business; remember Dina’s husband and dina also own that business; the manzo;s want to buy each of their children 5,000 braclets like they have money please they are thieves

        • Candida says:

          The Autism is because Jac son’s has it now that they sold the story to the MAGs they will do all event for autism again only for their benefit; if the little boy didn’t have autism that wouldn’t be doint it believe me

          • marie says:

            it’s like jac is using her son’s autism to secure a spot on the 5th season of RHWNJ.

          • U can't hide stupid says:

            Candida – THAT’S a very interesting point of view. That Dina and Caroline’s tiff has to do w The Brownstone. I’d presumed as most others have that it must have he something to do w the show.

            Interesting… Thank you for the point of view.

        • JanShe says:

          There is a “class action lawsuit” against the Brownstone.
          One ex-employee filed a lawsuit, saying that for the 6 yrs (Ithink) he worked there, he was never paid any overtime, when it was warranted.
          The Judge that heard the case, (more employee’s came forward) ruled that there was enough evidence to make it a class action lawsuit.

          This could cost the Manzo’s alot of $$$.

  9. stay says:

    Love Dina!!!!! Caroline is a miserable person.

  10. Stacey says:

    Love Dina. I wish she was on the show and Caroline the mean, ugly, bitter troll was not. I hate Caroline.

  11. Bionic says:

    I can see Caroline twisting Dina’s words around into a negative wish. If you cut her, bytch bleeds sour patch kids.

  12. nat says:

    I just don’t understand why Caroline has such a vendetta with Teresa over a freakin cook book or a brawl at punta cana. She herself said in the season 1 reunion that she isn’t a hard person and it takes a lot to make her hate you. Now if Danielle really did try to mess with Dina’s custody then it’s completely understandable. However she’s contradicted herself by saying that because What Teresa supposedly did to her doesn’t even measure up to being so terrible. She said some lame joke about her that went terribly wrong. She said she was sorry. She said she never thought of it as a dig but somehow that makes it wrong. I wish Caroline just had the balls to tell Teresa “This is what bothered me and I was hurt by it and really sit and talk. Every time they talked Caroline was already on the defense and not wanting to hear anything so you can’t have a convo when you’ve already being stubborn and believe what you believe. I honestly feel that weather Teresa sounded genuine or not Caroline didn’t care so why bother at all? she has no desire to make up with her to begin with. Everything she has said about Teresa, she has done herself. Recruiting soldiers (Jac, Kathy, and Mel) and non stop discussing Teresa’s life, kids, marriage etc. Why can’t she be happy that there was progress? Not good enough for her? well guess what. ITS NON OF HER BUSINESS! and I love Dina. She is a kind soul.

  13. Dawn says:

    Hold on, it was said that the falling out with Caroline, Dina and Teresa was over Caroline have the ORIGINAL idea to do the cook book and Teresa ran with it first before Caroline and Dina supported Teresa when Caroline felt Teresa went behind her back and did the book. Make no mistake, Like attracts like so Dina is very much like Teresa, C U Next Tuesday so Dina may not be “keeping it classy” at all. It is a diss….read between the lines!

    • Bionic says:

      I wonder if this was before Caroline snatched the exclusive of Jamie’s wedding off Dina’s show. I wonder why are all the other sibblings not talking to Caro. Maybe she also wanted to come out with a drink and told her middle brother? He went and told Tre too… and she wanted a shampoo and told her 3rd sister and she told on her too.

      BS!

      • Joanna says:

        There was room for everyone to plug something, Teresa’s book just went straight to the NY Times best seller and Caroline couldn’t compete with that. The problems with her and Dina most likely stem from Caroline not going off the show when Dina did. Because of Danielle.

        • hotsummerday says:

          I think they stem from Dina getting her own show and Caroline being jealous. Caroline is a very envious individual. She won’t be happy until she has “hers.”

      • embee says:

        Oh, no! More reading between the lines. Were seeds planted as well?

    • cammierari says:

      Dawn-Teresa putting out Fabellini didn’t stop Kathy from putting out HER red velvet cocktail…so why should Teresa putting out a cookbook stop Caroline? I’m sure they both have different recipes. Caroline just can’t take the competition and she’s mad that Teresa made a move that wasn’t sanctioned by the almighty Don Caro.
      I think Caroline wants everybody to acknowledge that she’s the “best”, and act accordingly. If they don’t, there’ll be hell to pay. I wouldn’t let her get away with that if she was in MY life, so I completely understand other people doing the same

      • Joanna says:

        It’s baffling no one stands up to her. Not even her husband or brother Chris. They all seem like spineless cowards.

        • Koopla says:

          Danielle stood up against her and she paid dearly. Now Teresa has stood up against her and Caro and her minions are making sure Teresa pays dearly. Even Dina stood up to her and now they don’t even speak. THATS 3 out of 6 housewives C has worked with. C wouldn’t be half bad if she would just listen and realize she is not better than anyone.

      • JanieG says:

        I seriously doubt she will ever encourage her kids to do anything that doesn’t involve her or family – she just can’t let go like normal mothers. She is obsessive and controlling and must be obeyed or there is hell to pay. I don’t T. hates C. at all, I think T. really thought they were still all friends (she truly doesn’t process things like most people) and doesn’t see her part in all this or their nuttiness as she just moves blithely through her life – maybe she is the lucky one?? She is oblivious to anything beyond what she wants to see.

        • lawlaw says:

          I think Teresa is a fool. She plays strong but kisses these woman’s ass and begs for forgiveness for something she didn’t do. And is it me or is juicy scared of Albert manzo.

          • Sugarlump says:

            I really can’t find any reason for Juicy to be jealous of Albert. He probably doesn’t want to start shit with an old man with a lap band.

        • donnalee says:

          Caroline’s absolutely lame reason for being mad at Teresa truly has me believing that it was a Bravo thing. Stupid stupid Caroline is trying to do exactly what Bravo told her to do but oooops she went too far.

    • Seven says:

      Teresa SHOWED Caroline her book. How the hell is that going behind her back, does Caroline have some form of dementia now? Is Teresa supposed to put her projects on hold because she’s the breakout star and no one is interested in doing business with the Manzos and Lauritas?

      Wait, don’t tell me, she was supposed to adopt Caro and Jac, cure their mental health issues and drinking problems, give them makeovers and lap band surgery, teach them professional behavior and likeability and how to not make fraudulent claims about their products, so someone would actually want to work with them?

    • hotsummerday says:

      Teresa went “behind her back and did the book.”

      Imagine! Teresa did not clear her actions with Caroline first. No wonder Caroline is so angry!

      • marie says:

        Why would Tre need Caroswine’s permission about doing a book about HER family’s recipes? She can’t be serious? If that really is the reason why caro is jealous, then she deserves the hate her way.

    • ElmoZoe says:

      I always heard that they were BOTH writing a cookbook around the same time, and Caroline’s was rejected from several publishers. Teresa didn’t steal a thing. She’s just far more marketable.

      • Say What?? says:

        Carolines was rejected! Also she told Teresa she was going about her cookbook wrong… told her to use different publishers and much much more.. Teresa ignored her, did it her way and it worked for her.. Teresa herself has said this. I cant remember if it was in a blog or on an episode. It was the first time Teresa said ” Caroline, gives her advice and says she is the Matriarch…but I am the Matriarch of my family” I think it was last season or at the end of season 2.

        • hotsummerday says:

          Danielle said that she was the matriarch of her family when she and Bitter Clown met for their talk.

        • jen says:

          Tersa also sais that in the very begining of season 3 when LARGE MARGE was trying to lay the law down with Tre on how she should handle her family situation. Again T did not ask for her advice was just venting about the baptism and up coming fashion show she and melissa were in. And if I remember correctly the blog LARGE MARGE did after that epsiode she wrote something along the lines of she was upset about what T said in her interview because she thought of her like family. Go figure LARGE MARGE blowing it her ass one more time. She has this mob mentality but doesn’t understand the most important rule don’t ever type or be recorded saying something you don’t want to be held to.

      • Candida says:

        thats right caroline’s book was rejected; and also I believe that caroline wasn’t asked to be on celebrity apprentice but she claims she was asked first

        • JanShe says:

          That is correct, Caro said she was asked first, and that she told, Donald Trump to ask Teresa.

          Donald Trump stated, that she was never asked to do the Apprentice.

    • Obvious says:

      Actually, dawn, T said, on several occasions, that she told Caro about her cookbook idea but Caro kept telling her that she was doing it wrong and that the people who would pick up her cookbook wouldn’t go for it. Needless to say, Ts cookbook got picked up and Caro’s didn’t. #FACT

      • Joanna says:

        Yes! She did! And it seemed to me she was telling Teresa she should wait or something, just trying to talk her out of it. Teresa didn’t listen and it went huge. That must chap Carolines hide!

        • Say What?? says:

          This is all true! If i remember right Caroline was telling her not to work with certain publishers and not to sign certain contracts giving them %.. but that would be stupid to do when youre newly famous. You need help marketing and with costs etc.. Teresa did it the right way and its paying off for her. I think that kills Caroline, and it was the beginning of Carolines hatred for Teresa.

          • Joanna says:

            @saywhat? And Teresa has worked her rear off doing book signings, Caroline can’t get off the couch or stop from leaning on the kitchen counter. Teresas hard work, good attitude and smarts made her what she is today.

    • Jennifer says:

      Dawn,

      That is not true because Caroline has her panties in a twist on cookbook two not cookbook one of Teresa. Teresa now has a 3rd NYTimes best seller. The cookbook is not or has it ever been an issue for Caroline. Caroline is angry due to Punta Cana and the success Teresa has had, especially Celebrity Apprentice where Caroline went on Twitter to say she was chosen first, but where Donald Trump tweeted that he never thought of a another Housewife other than Teresa for that season. Caroline hated it and it proved her wrong by the source himself.

      • Say What?? says:

        @jennifer – Carolines anger at Teresa started in season 2!

      • Mego the lying stripper says:

        Yeah, sk her about rhat fact Andy Cohen.

      • Jennifer says:

        But I didn’t see the anger at reunion S2. If she is angry for the cookbooks then it is even sillier. There are a ton of cookbooks out there. I didn’t even know Caroline enjoyed cooking. She makes it seem like a chore. If that is an additional reason, then Caroline is even more spiriteful then I imagined.

        • Say What?? says:

          She was nice to Teresas face in season 2 but you could see she was not happy with Teresa starting with the trip to Italy. It went downhill from there. When season 2 was taping i believe Teresas book was out or about to come out? I cant remember. You could really see it by season 3 when they went for that weekend trip to Tree and Joes cabin.

    • jen says:

      Who the hell cares who said what about a cook book first!First of all LARGE MARGE didn’t invent the idea of a book and there is alot of cook books out there. If a publisher really wanted LARGE MARGE’S cook book it would be published even if T did a cook book also. All of the HW from every city are selling something LARGE MARGE didn’t come up with that idea either. Bottom line who cook book was CRAP and the publishers weren’t wasting their time. Get over it already!!!

    • Say What?? says:

      The problem between Dina and Caroline…
      Someone (Jac!) went to a blogger (Jacs fav blogger) and fed her bullshit about Project lady bug, that blogger went crazy investigating PLB and attacked the charity, called Dinas cell phone, gave out dinas cell phone number to her blog readers and also made a boat load of phone calls to different state offices in NJ over PLB. The only thing Dina did wrong? she filled out some paperwork incorrectly, human error……… not a big deal.. she did correct her mistake.. but the blogger was being egged (?) on by someone personally invested in the situation (JAC!) The blogger attacked Dina on twitter and was RUTHLESS! Dina had Carolines twitter info, logged on, tweeted support for Dina and PLB.. Lauren saw the tweets, claimed her mothers twitter was hacked and deleted the tweets… Dina and Caroline argued over it and havent spoken because of that..

      This all happened publicly. I dont know if people have just forgotten, or maybe new fans were not around to see this go down.. but that is the story!

      • Samantha says:

        That’s not what happened. That’s not what happened at all.

      • Samantha says:

        So according to you, Lynn “went crazy [!] investigating PLB…attacked [!] the charity…made a boat load [!] of phone calls to different state offices…was being egged (?) on [!] by someone personally invested in the situation (JAC!)[!]…attacked Dina on twitter and was RUTHLESS![!]”

        Do you see why you shouldn’t be taken seriously?

        As far as I know the site is still there — anybody who needs to know this stuff can find out for themselves without having to wade through your somewhat (lol) biased hyperbole.

        • Samantha says:

          And yes, she investigated PLB. That may be the one statement you got right except that one has to dig beneath multiple layers of pure crap to find it.

          So what? People are allowed to investigate agencies, and they SHOULD be investigated as a matter of course.

          • Seven says:

            Um, yes, and random psychotic bloggers with equally crazy followers, an obsession with reality tv, and a penchant for harassment are exactly the people who should be doing these “investigations.”

            If you have a legitimate complaint about a charity, inform the proper authorities, who will be more than happy to assign investigators with qualifications beyond plunked down in a chair, started ranting like a crazy person over nothing and got a bunch of fools to act as soldiers in a non-existent war.

          • Samantha says:

            Here’s part of the story. But since I have no interest in either Dina OR her charity, I’ll be ducking out of this conversation now.

            http://lynnnchicago101.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/i-hate-jill-zarin-top-chef-just-desserts-dina-manzo-project-ladybug/

          • Say What?? says:

            You must be threatened by the facts..You must fear how the others are being shown on the show… For you to try to re-write history and spend so much of your time trying to sway peoples opinion…

            If Melissa were the breakout star she so desperatley wished to be.. You would have no need to troll the blogs trying to change peoples minds about what they are see on TV and twitter.. You reek of desperation.

            The only way we will get rid of you, is if fans start favoring Melissa.. Youre here for the long haul. ;)

          • Keppler says:

            Samantha, you are priceless. I can’t believe you actually took the time to find a piece of totally insane, manipulative bull that backed up everything Say What? said, then breathlessly presented it as if it proved your contention that the Mad Hater was some combo of Edward R. Murrow and Elliot Ness or something.

            You’re wasting your time, there’s an army of disoriented, bereft lunatics out there looking for a new General, you’re eminently qualified.

        • Jennifer says:

          Most of Lynn’s follower’s said she went crazy. Lynn even deleted her own link to Ladybug’s legal woes because it was false. Lynn did create an environment of hatred towards Dina. In her blog and I can provide the link she asked why did Dina even have a charity. That Dina had no reason to have a charity which helped kids with cancer, even when she admitted that Dina’s charity did help a child in the Chicago area who had cancer. It was a very dark ime back in 2010 September for Lynn, but she later distanced herself from that cycle. Lynn was completely incorrect on what she did. She did admit to having a nameless her call the charity repeatedly and NJ agencies. It is on the blog IHJZ it is still there for everyone to see. That person called the charity multiple times, so you are wrong on that as well.

          You must have never followed Lynn because you seem to not know how events transpired. I am certain you do not know the story.

        • Samantha says:

          The only trolls I see around here are Teresa’s, who monopolize this site day after day and hour after hour, telling the same old lies and spreading the old same hate.

          On the up side, once you’ve identified who they are, bypassing their comments makes reading this blog a whole lot easier (and FASTER!) Plus you avoid getting too much troll shit stuck in your head.

          • Samantha says:

            And I don’t think you get that I DON’T CARE about Dina or her charity, my problem was with YOU and your flagrant disregard for telling the truth in a responsible manner. Who’s opinions are YOU trying to change that you’re that desperate?

          • Say What?? says:

            Doing a good job! :D

          • JanShe says:

            Hey Samantha, since you claim to know everything about this situation, how about you answer a question for me.

            It has been alleged that Jac or Caro made a phone call to Dina’s ex, Lexi’s father, telling him that Dina shouldn’t have Lexi on the show.

            There is another allegation out there, saying that Dina’s ex wouldn’t sign the release papers to allow Lexi to be on the show.

            Do you have any knowledge about these allegations?

          • Sugarlump says:

            And yet here you still are, putting your comments here along with the “trolls” and spending to time to find and post a link about a charity you care nothing about. Interesting…

            Ha ha! Samantha you have been out little troll from day one. Most everyone has said you are. Don’t think we have forgotten your posts in May of this year towards Gia. Those posts were pedophilic and vile. We remember. But your the little troll that just won’t leave no matter how much you are not wanted. You troll to create controversy and that is it.

            How did you like having your bottom handed to yu on Dina? Fun right? In black and white. You are such a little troll. LOL!

            But Samantha you cannot tell the truth even if you tried. It is proven with Ladybug and Lynne’s campaign at the time to go after Dina. It was proven in April when you said you had the inside story on what Giacinto left about Lyssa and his own child Teresa. You first said you were an insider, then you took it back. It is all there. You Samantha are the emperor with no clothes.

          • Samantha says:

            Can’t begin to tell you how happy I am that Teresa has friends like you. :)

          • Samantha says:

            And you’re helping her prepare for the reunion with these gems, yes? :)

          • Jennifer says:

            Samantha,

            Are you drinking heavily again? Or have you not found 11 year olds to abuse today? Hmmm… LOL! You are such a troll. You come to a site that doesn’t want you and lie. It is laughable and pathetic. Come Samantha our little troll!

          • Capile says:

            Oh god, Samantha, is that what you think you’re doing? “helping” the Gorgas? Like you think someday they’re going to notice what a brave little soldier you are or something? Jesus! Maybe you should go offer them your “help” in “preparing” for the reuinion, because I’m sure they do that, like it’s a Presidential debate or the Olympics or something. I hear they go into training for months ahead of time, and the good news is, they’re totally notgoing to be scared of you! Not at all!

          • Samantha says:

            @Capile ~ Unlike the Manson Family, I have never deluded myself into thinking that these people are my “friends.” Furthermore, I doubt any of them needs my help in defending themselves against Teresa. I’m sure they’ll do just fine on their own. And they won’t need notes.

          • Capile says:

            Uh….okay. That’s super reassuring and not at all scary. No, really.

          • Say What?? says:

            Interesting because last year, Melissa did bring notes to the reunion.

            You’re doing a great job! :)

          • Jennifer says:

            Now, Samantha you are lying. In April you claimed to know the Gorgas personally. It is right on the site. You said that Giacinto liked Lyssa best of all. You said he only tolerated his daughter. You lied. You have done it many times. Do not try to backtrack on your statements. Sorry dear, but you are deluding into believing you are friends with Caroline, Jac, and Melissa. LOL!

          • Jennifer says:

            Moreover, Samantha the only one in S3 reunion who had notes was Melissa. She pulled out her phone and had reference to her grievances with Teresa. You are wrong again, dear.

            Our dear resident troll, Samantha!

      • Margie says:

        thanks for sharing SW? and NOT making us read between the lines.

        • Say What?? says:

          Be sure to read the story Sam linked… check out the comments too. You can search further on that site to see more of what they did to Dina Manzo! Be sure to read the comments too. Its all there.

    • reddvette says:

      Neither Dina nor Teresa are book publishers. They can not tell the book house whoees book to publishe. The fact that they book submitted book proposals and only Teresa’s was picked up is not a personal slight, dig, or anything towards Caroline. The fact that endorers choice the younger woman is their right to do. Caroline needs to sit down somewhere and act her age not her shoe size.

    Love Dina – Hate that mean old bag caroline

  15. Dawn says:

    Relax people, I am not defending any of these woman. Simply asking if you all recall this stupidity starting the war between them and clearly D Ina SUDDENLY tweeting about Caroline as BS. I do not get as serious as you all about these women. My worldis a great place to be and do not work myself up about a f ckn TV show. Little busy in Sarasota preparing for hurricane party. Cheers! Take your mess an hour before the show Sunday, seems you all need them. F ckn attacking people about these comments is hilarious!

    • Joanna says:

      someone attacked you? Lol. Just take a deep breath dawn, sip your cocktail and relax.

    • Keppler says:

      LOL! Yeah, you clearly put all the “obsessed” people to shame, getting deep into psychoanalyzing the cast’s personal problems, analyzing twitter patterns, telling posters to read between the lines on a two line happy congrats and calling cast members CU Next Tuesday proves you aren’t even interested at all! I bet you just happened to be passing the computer, tripped and fell on the keyboard and your post wrote itself.

    • jerseygirl says:

      Speaking of getting worked up, you seem quite worked up yourself. You should probably take your own advice.

      And by the way Dawn, are you new to blogging?

    • T says:

      @Dawn
      Obviously you are a Caroline fan…you’re as pleasant as she is. ;)

    • Jennifer says:

      Dawn,

      Your post says the opposite. You call both Dina and Teresa derogatory names and then back peddle when you do hear positive feedback. Please….

      Then you go and say we are attacking you? How so? We have only expressed our opinion to your post. I saw no personal attack to you. We only did not agree with your position.

      I think you need to stop attacking people on this board. You seem to be ultra sensitive you need to chill. When you post a position be ready for an answer.

  16. RahRah says:

    You know what is shameless, communicating to a sister via twitter. Glad someone pointed out that CM didn’t congratulate DM on Dina’s party.

    I see CM like Maleficient the evil would be queen. I think she is straight up demonic and her kids are not cultured, not gracious or good people. Who says money can buy you class, it can’t, you have to be born in a classy family.

  17. lolag says:

    Dina Manzo keeps it fake.

    She does not mention her nephew Nicholas. And those who follow twitter know that Caroline and Dina had been together at the Brownstone days before and neither them acknowledged each other. So the twitter congratulations more about making Dina look good than about Caroline.

    • Capile says:

      Dina doesn’t need any help in looking good. She looks good just by not being Caroline and not getting sucked into the family’s erratic behavior. She’s made it pretty clear she doesn’t want a relationship with Caroline at this time, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t wish her well (foreign concept, I know). Nicholas was diagnosed a long time ago.

    • cammierari says:

      lolag you just make me laugh! Dina didn’t mention supporting the troops in the middle east either-does that means she’s against them?
      Please take your “I hate Teresa” glasses off once in awhile-you might like the view better

      • Happy day says:

        That is not possible…Lolag is driven by her all consuming hate of Teresa to post at least 50 posts every day on many, many blogs. She has taken on this role for years…it is her life mission and purpose so as the song goes, “Ain’t No Stopping Her Now” or it’s her devotion to the Manzo’s “I’m Crazy for You.”

    • Jennifer says:

      Lolag,

      It is a two way street. Caroline does not tweet positive tweets to Dina. Please. Caroline is the queen of hypocrisy.

      Dina has tweeted that she is happy for Caroline’s book deal. Now, I am sure Dina will mention something on twitter or FB about Nicholas. You seem a little bit petty.

    • Say What?? says:

      lolag , Go back to reality tea where you can continue treat people like shit and make fun of other posters with frankswife..

      • JanShe says:

        here, here…..

        Okay folks, this one (lolag) is another Samantha, maybe they are twins.

        They are like the energizer rabbit,
        they keep going and going and going,
        Please DO NOT FEED the silly rabbits.

        • Dubbalicious says:

          JanShe,
          Lolag’s a regular @ Reality Tea. I’m sure sure you’ve had the pleasure of reading some of the comments there. They’re the most Teresa hating bunch out there. I stopped reading anything pertaining to NJ. They are a cringe worthy bunch of uneducated classless nobodies. Grown people calling Teresa TreApe, attacking her kids…Etc. (a fine, fine bunch.) They’ve gone as far as accusing Dina of lying about her relationship with Teresa, and Teresa not being the cause of her estrangement from Caroline!! ( this, they could not accept) You see, they’re so smart at RT that they know Dina better then she knows herself!! And now we’ve been blessed with their guest appearances here at the
          “Temple” Something tells me they’ve pre ordered Caroline’s book! :)

          hate..

          • Samantha says:

            Teresa has been ridiculed (and rightfully so) all season long in ALL of the blogs, not just Reality Tea. Reality Tea just happens to have some of the funnier comments, that’s all.

          • Jennifer says:

            Samanatha,

            Dear Melissa, Jac, Caroline and Kathy have been ridiculed all season on many blogs. One of which was lynnnchicago. Now, I know you are not a regular there because you walked right into it. Lynn’s followers dislike Melissa and Caroline and it is more than 80%. Further with Bonnie and Jac’s actions they turned on Jac as well. Most feel Kathy is only fodder for Melissa. Please you have no leg to stand on troll.

          • Say What?? says:

            You forgot to mention that shes on reality tea site 24-7 and every other word out of her mouth is “TERESA FANS!” she is like the RHONJ cast mates in that everything thats done and said is TERESA FANS FAULT! Her best line is “ACCORDING TO TERESA FANS”

          • Samantha says:

            That’s not me. I’ve referred to them as the Manson Family, Teresa’s Trolls, and Teresa’s Trained Monkeys, but not ONCE have I referred to them as “TERESA FANS!”

          • Say What?? says:

            Samantha, I personally was referring to lolag. You may be an ass but youre not on lolags obsessive level.

          • JanShe says:

            Dubbalicious, you are correct. I have been to RT and know exactly who lolag is.
            Her and her trashy friends are even worse on twitter. :-)

          • Say What?? says:

            The sad part is based on lolag and WCF twitter investigations (lol) They have decided to attack Nettie laurita! They claim Nettie Lurita has not supported her grandson enough in regards to his diagnosis… based on her tweets they know she has nothing to do with her grandson, doesnt support him, doesnt call, doesnt recognize him and they are shocked that she remembers his name..

            Seriously, this is the type of unbalanced people we are talking about. Its comical to watch.

          • Jennifer says:

            Say What?

            Maybe Samantha is Lolag.it is possible. Samantha is obsessive with her hatred towards Teresa. Two possibly that was a Freudian slip of Lolag’s I mean Samantha’s. LOL!

  18. ThatOtherChick says:

    Really, is that true? Hmm… now THAT’S interesting…

  19. lolag says:

    Yes, it is very true. Notice how Caroline did not bother to acknowledge the tweet even though Dina did not use Caroline’s twitter name. Dina’s objective was obvious…and bulldog sister CAroline did not bite.

    If Dina were truly classly she would not be tweeting about expensive cars amidst news of her nephew’s diagnosis. No word about that from classy Dina.

    • Joanna says:

      Maybe, just maybe Dina knows more details of Nicolas’s illness and thats why she’s quiet.

      • lolag says:

        Hard to believe that Dina did not know when she is so close to her mother. the Grandmother (Laurita) tweeted about being so worried about her grandson. Although her twitter updates reveal estrangement. I guess this situation does not fall into the category of “if anyone in my family needs me I there”…I guess the rumors of Chris and Dina not being since Season 1 are true.

        • Seven says:

          You’re criticizing her for having some sinister hidden agenda in congratulating Caroline, but we’re supposed to believe if she tweeted about her nephew, you wouldn’t accuse her of not caring but trying to exploit her nephew to make herself look good? Please. I wasn’t aware that the only way to “be there” for your family is to tweet.

          • lolag says:

            Tweeting about her nephew would have been better than tweeting about which car to buy. It would have shown support for her family…

          • Seven says:

            We have these amazing new technological innovations. We call them “stationary,” “telephones,” “texts,” “visits,” and “DMs.” Those are ways to show support for one’s family. So, amazingly, even the millions of people who don’t tweet can still support their families.

            Had she tweeted, you’d be the first to say she’s fake, she’s exploiting her nephew to look good, and why is she saying this now as if she just found out when she’s known for ages, why isn’t she keeping it quiet and reaching out privately.

          • Jennifer says:

            Seven,

            You nailed it. Dina could have used a multitude of other methods to contact Jac and Chris about Nicholas. She knew about his situation likely months prior to the tabloid interview so I do not see why she should need to tweet.

        • Say What?? says:

          Why does Dina need to tweet support to jac? im sure she said something in private… even if she didnt…. Jac did some NASTY backstabbing bullshit to Dina.. how do you think Danielle knew about Dina forging the ex husbands name on the paperwork? How did Danielle get the ex husbands information to contact him? hmm? FROM JAC! Dina has kept her distance for a very good reason and Jac KNOWS it!

    • jerseygirl says:

      Nicholas was diagnosed a year ago (according to Jaqueline) so I would think this is not news to her.

    • Capile says:

      Yeah, Caroline is a regular Nancy Drew in discerning the hidden, vicious meanings in kind gestures and normal human interaction.

      Out of curiousity, when someone smiles and says “Good Morning” to you all on the street, do you “read between the lines” and attack them with a baseball bat?

    • Keppler says:

      Right, we have noticed Caroline has no class. She acts like she’s trying so hard to make up with Dina, she never tweets support for any of Dina’s projects and now she didn’t acknowledge Dina’s classy gesture. No news there. And your point is….?

      A few hours before Jac leaked the news about her son’s autism, Jac was still tweeting mad crazy shit about Teresa. No doubt Dina has known about Nicholas for years, so why she’s supposed to respond publicly just because Jac chose this moment to share it with the public I don’t know.

      • lolag says:

        By tweeting a link to her Bravo blog that you call trashing Teresa? It must to difficult to accept that the world can look at Jacqueline Laurita as the mother of a son who has autism as opposed to Jacqueline Laurita Teresa Giudice’s former best friend. How sad isn’t it that Jacqueline is getting support when Teresa’s fans wanted people to continue to hate her.

        • Keppler says:

          LOL Yeah, that’s the ticket. It must be hard for you to accept that’s nuts. I don’t give a rat’s behind how the world looks at Jacqueline Laurita. I’m just curious why the little kid’s aunt is evil for spending the past two years after the diagnosis tweeting about random unimportant stuff but no problem with the boy’s mother spending the past two years after the diagnosis tweeting about random unimportant stuff? Do you know the difference between mother and aunt, or public and private?

          • Jennifer says:

            Keepler,

            You nailed it. That is a brilliant post. Why can Jac a year post diagnosis tweet insignificant tweets day and vicious tweets to Teresa as well as DMs to everyone in creation I personally have 20 of them, but an aunt nor anyone else can’t post tweets of their day. It is pure hypocrisy on Lolag’s part that she does not see it.

        • Joanna says:

          Teresa has fans because they like her.
          Jacqueline has fans because they like her.
          I don’t understand your point about Teresa fans wanting everyone to hate Jacqueline, if that were so, then I would assume it would go both ways.

    • Obvious says:

      Lolag, what family member would tweet about such a personal matter, like autism? I’m sure Dina knew about it when Jac found out. Dina still communicates with Ashley. Why would Dina tweet out her nephew NOW and most importantly, on twitter?? You’re not making much sense.

      • lolag says:

        When the story hit the internet…Dina does not even acknowledge yet Tamry Barney sends a tweet of encouragement to her dear friend Jacqueline ith a link to Jac’s website highlighting the story. More like why wouldn’t an Aunt in the public eye acknowledge her nephew..

        • Keppler says:

          OMG, really? Why didn’t you mention this earlier? Now that we know this–case closed! lol

        • Capile says:

          lolag, you just keep making less and less and less sense all the time. Who cares what Tamra Barney did? What does that have to do with Dina?

          Do you think that any Real Housewife who doesn’t publicly tweet Jac doesn’t care about autism? Or, maybe some of them might feel more comfortable reaching out privately so it doesn’t look they’re using Nicholas’ troubles for publicity?

          Maybe Dina doesn’t think it’s good for Nicholas to use his condition as a storyline on a reality show. Just because Jac likes to make private things public doesn’t mean Dina can’t choose a different way to handle things.

          • lolag says:

            Oh I see now Jacqueline is using Nicholas for a storyline…for the show that is based on her reality.

            Just like Teresa uses the show to promote Gia’s dance career…Oh but that is different because that is Teresa.

          • Joanna says:

            You hit the nail on the head. I was wondering why this comes out now, Maybe because the Ashley story line is over, it makes sense that Jacq would use her next child for airtime. Perhaps Dina sees right thru this and is disgusted by it.

          • Jennifer says:

            I personally would disgusted if people were tweeting non-stop on Autism issue because to me that was as if trying to use Nicholas and no support him. Familial support should be a private matter and not for public grand standing.

          • Capile says:

            Of course you see, lolag. Of course. How could you not with your awesome, awesome brainpower. You are so smart it’s inspirational.

            Not many people could understand the clear connection between using a reality show to showcase your child’s talents and putting your child in an environment that isn’t good for him. Bright lights, loud noises, and tons of strangers around aren’t exactly an ideal environment for autistic children and Judy in Wyoming’s need to see “a show based on her reality” doesn’t change *that* reality.

            Jac has the right to do whatever she wants and she may very well be sincere in trying to help other parents of autistic children. But Dina certainly also has the right to have her own opinions on how the situation should be handled (assuming she does, of course we don’t know) and to choose to keep her relationship with her family members private.

        • Say What?? says:

          Why would an Aunt in the public eye risk the CUSTODY of her niece? Jac is behind Danielles contact with Dinas ex-husband.. I would probably hold a grudge too.

          • Seven says:

            That’s horrible and it says a lot about Caroline how “close” she’s become to Jac since then.

            Damn.

          • JanShe says:

            Say What?? I posted about this upthread.

            lolag, how would you know what Dina has done? If I was Dina I would not have contacted Jac.

            Dina could very well have contacted her brother Chris, who for your info, is Nicholas’ father.

    • Dubbalicious says:

      Yes lolag, most intelligent, educated people take to social media to discuss private matters!… Not. Dina is utilizing twitter as it should be used. She is promoting her show and keeping things light,( with her fans) like car shopping,design ideas or perhaps recipes. It’s not a place to discuss your child’s failing grades,yesterday’s bowel movement or your hate for a family member or friend. Clearly she’s learned from the best (Jacqueline/ Caroline & Co.) what not to do on Twitter or any social media forum. You are ridiculous! Perhaps you have a family member out there who might congratulate you on your Herpes diagnosis. Would that make you feel better?

  20. Another RHO_ Fan says:

    Wow…How old is that photo??? Did they have to go back that many years to find a smiling photo of Caroline with Dina??? Caroline is just bitter and spiteful and it shows in all her recent photos!

  21. Victoria Veney says:

    Have you ever STOP and thought that Dina might not want to talk about her nephew’s condition on TWITTER!! Wake up saying CONGRATS on a BOOK DEAL is awhole lot different than getting TWITTER and talking about you poor lil nephew’s illness!! I would think that would be addressed in private and not on TWITTER lets get real people!! Dina dont look like the kind of woman that would hold a grudge on her sick lil nephew and certainly not gonna do something like talk about her nephew’s illness on TWITTER!! To even put that in the same catagorie saying CONGRATS and talking about your lil NEPHEW’S ILLNESS is 2 completely different matters!! It’s just STUPID to even compare the 2!!!

    • lolag says:

      Good point. Dina tweeting about her nephew would yield questions about him that she most likely does not have answers. Pretty obvious that if Dina isn’t speaking to Nicholas’ parents then she isn’t seen her nephew either.

      • Seven says:

        Damn, you’ve done a hell of a lot of overthinking this, haven’t you? No, it isn’t obvious at all. Dina may not be speaking to Jac, the woman who invades everyone’s privacy and puts everything they tell her on social media, but that doesn’t mean she’s not talking to Chris. And even if she isn’t, they have a big extended family, how do you know she doesn’t see him all the time when he’s being watched by her mom or taken somewhere by one of her siblings or nieces or nephews?

        • lolag says:

          How do I know you ask…Caroline said it on the Reunion show that Dina did not speak to Chris. Also, the grandmother’s tweets are clear that she does not see them much herself.

          • Joanna says:

            Chris Lauritas mother has a twitter account? What is it?

          • Seven says:

            Lolag, step away from twitter. There’s life outside of twitter, I swear! That’s ridiculous, you can’t diagnose the state of someone’s relationship from twitter no matter how much you try to analyze it, especially with total strangers. I feel like I haven’t seen my sister in ages, maybe I should tweet that. I actually just saw her yesterday but it feels like forever. I hope no one reads in to my tweet.

            Caroline says a lot of things that aren’t true, maybe no one tells her anything.

            Joanna, it’s @NettieLaurita

          • Say What?? says:

            lolag spends all day everyday saying “Teresas fans” and calls this blog.. “the ridiculous TEMPLE blog” He/she is more invested than the normal HW fan.. so dont take the insults she tosses out personal…Just say Bless her heart!

      • reddvette says:

        Dina does not speak to Jacquline. They all have said that Dina and Chris are the closest, plus Dina and Ashlee talk. . It was only a couple of months ago. That Jacq went on a twitter rant about advice Dina gave Ashlee. Dina does does not talk to jacq, caroline or Carolines children.

    • T says:

      @Victoria I completely agree
      When my son was diagnosed my family & friends called & text me. Not one person that I was close with tweeted about it or posted about on FB. Also he was diagnosed a year ago…I would assume Dina talked to Chris back then.

    • Jennifer says:

      Victoria,

      You are correct. Familial relations where this is likey a permanent condition should not be handled in a public forum.

  22. DLL says:

    I think Caro was also insanely jealous that Teresa got on Celebrity Apprentice. That had to really get under her skin! Didn’t she try to claim that she was asked first, but then Donald Trump made a statement that that wasn’t true or something like that?
    Caro fancies herself up there with The Donald. She thinks Teresa is beneath her. Imagine the fury when Teresa got the gig and not her?
    And nobody can tell me that old DonCaro didn’t sit and watch every episode that Teresa was on and picked her apart while watching from her own living room. I have no doubt that this happened. She is very predictable where Teresa is concerned now.

    • hotsummerday says:

      The Apprentice already had a
      menopausal bully–Lisa Lampanelli– so they didn’t need Chuckie.

    • JanShe says:

      Caro sure did watch, as a matter of fact, she was tweeting Lisa Lampawhatever while it was airing, claiming to be one of Lisa’s very good friends.
      Caro is an evil bi+ch!

      • JanShe says:

        And I forgot to mention, Teresa, Joe and the girls went on vacation with the Trumps over the winter.

        I was thinking at the time, that Caro must have been pulling her hair out, and sreaming like a banshee.

  23. Josh says:

    Do they even follow each other on twitter? Awkward. You would think Dina would have tagged her or hash tagged Caroline in that. I don’t know…~

  24. marsela says:

    Ladies, just curious, i know caroline can be a pickle too but Theresa is also very nasty at times esp to her cousin. Why is it noone is upset with her? Also, her husband treats her like dirt but its never talked about. I think andy mentioned him being a bigot at times but Theresa lets hm treat her like dirt, the girls are cute but very disrespectful. Just curious why these things never are talked about on blogs but actually caroline is the one who comments on it and shes right. Eve tho i hate the way she treats her daughter too. The whole family is bad for the girls self esteem, cant believe how they talk to her about her weight!!

    • Joanna says:

      Oh you clearly missed the episodes showing the back stabbing,manipulating, evil, lying to tabloids, ugly faced, rotten with jealousy cast mates. Don’t worry, Bravo has reruns. :)

      Caroline isn’t right. Teresa’s girls are assertive and energetic. They have a voice. Now compare that to Lauren. Low energy, and unable to stand up for herself and build her own life. Caroline has no business commenting one anybody else’s children, and I loved it when even Gia saw through her bull—-.

    • cammierari says:

      not talked about..? These things have been talked about ad nauseum on every blog that mentions Tre lol. Except for Teresa being mean to her cousin. Could you give me an example of Tre being mean to Kathy? I think Kathy has been horrible to Teresa!

      And…do you have kids? I don’t think my kids would have come off any better when they were Tre’s kid’s ages. They all misbehave at that age, especially when they are all together, and there’s a CAMERA. Funny but you don’t mention Caroline’s (adult) children’s behavior, which I think is worse than anything that Tre’s kids have done

      • Shipp says:

        The Stumps kid punched him in the head. The Stump laughed (so did I). The Stump did not discipline the child. And, I’ve see Stump tell his kid to bite.

        If anyone wants to go after Tre’s kids they should also include that aggressive little tyke in their comments also.

        You want an example of Teresa being mean to Kathy? You’re joking, right

        • Jennifer says:

          She hasn’t done anything to Kathy and it is quite the opposite. Kathy with her passive aggressive rhetoric has been mean to Tre. The great cookie debate was a patent passive aggressive remark by Kathy.

          Samantha you need to stop drinking. You will get a cirrhotic liver from the amount of drink you do to support your delusions.

    People need to leave Dina alone she congratulated her sister yet Caroline has never congratulated her on her show either way dina is class and Caroline is not!

  26. Spababe says:

    Dina is one classy lady and I love watching her show. Caroline is one ugly hag and just jealous of everyone. For a mother to call her daughter an asshole on National TV speaks volumnes about her. I am just praying they do not renew the Manzoids or the theiving Laurita’s. If BRAVO allows Jaxass to exploit her son for a story line I hope people call the station out and work hard to get rid of them.

    Not a fan of Tre’s, although I previously was. And I tried to read through all your comments but when I started reading that people think Jac is trying to use Nicholas’s autism as a storyline, I became nauseous.

    You can bash her about other things all day long (bc you all would be PERFECT if your lives were filmed) but anyone who cannot see what a caring mother she is, is just plain blind. She loves her children & longed for Nick. 5 miscarriages later, she got him. She has been through A LOT when it comes to that and as women, we should at least be able to empathize with that.

    If you notice, we have rarely seen Nick this season, and that was done purposely. I can ASSURE you, if the small amount of filming he did do affecting him negatively, she wouldn’t allow it. She didn’t really allow any filming of him.

    Bottom line…some things should be off limits when it comes to criticizing Jac, and her son’s Autism & the way she chooses to handle it should be one of those things.

    Walk a mile people. Until you have, keep your mouths closed.

      @chloe – Well said. Thank you for expressing exactly what I was feeling.

    • Say What?? says:

      I have walked in Jacs shoes, and i’ve defended her to an extent over the Autisim.. however Jac herself said in the magazine that she planned to use this as her storyline if she returns next season.. So how can you pass judgement on people for repeating what Jac herself has said? That doesnt make sense does it?

      The entire show is full of one hypocrite statement after another. The difference is they all hold Teresa to a different standard..

      Its ok for Jac to exploit her child but not ok for Teresa to use her fame to boost her daughter in her chosen passion?

      Until you walk a mile in EVERYONES shoes dont pass judgement.

    • hotsummerday says:

      She treated Ashley like crap, bashing her every week on the show. Even after Ashley left, Jac was still complianing about her. She will use her son for a storyline, and to gain sympathy from the judge in her bankruptcy fraud case.

    • Seven says:

      Um, Chloe? Jacqueline does want to use her son’s autism as a story. We know, because she herself said she would be open to it. It’s not something anyone here dreamed up to smear Jac, so save your nausea.

      That doesn’t necessarily mean her intentions are bad. She might want to do it to bring public attention to autism. However, it is probably going to be controversial, especially among some parents of autistic kids who might not think it’s the healthiest environment. You can question the wisdom of someone’s decisiin without necessarily impugning their motives. RHONJ has been all about being ugly and hostile lately and personally I don’t think a positive, uplifting story is what Bravo is after.

      BTW, desperately wanting a child is not the same thing as having the maturity and selflessness needed to be a good parent. Not by a long shot. Jac may be a good mother to her sons, but the way she treats, allows others to treat, and talks about Ashlee is going to send her into therapy until she’s 80. And yes, she kind of did use her underage daughter as a storyline, presenting the poor kid look as the devil on tv to gain sympathy and present herself as the long-suffering martyr. Not nice, and considering how invested some fans can be, pretty damn low.

      I enjoy a good self-righteous rant as much as anybody, but when climbing to the tippy top of the high horse and attempting to put anyone on blast, it’s always a good idea to do a 30 second google search just to make sure we’re not assuming we’re right when in reality the others actually know something we don’t know. Because ASSURING everyone that someone would never do what she’s already publicly announced she’s intending to do? Can tend to make us look a little foolish, especially when accompanied by a critical tone that suggests it’s nauseating for anyone to suggest someone would do–what she’s already publicly announced she intends to do. Whoops!

    Chloe,
    Jacqueline has done this to herself!! ( not the autism diagnosis) Most people facing adversity usually don’t have the time or energy to take to twitter and bash their bf in the most disgusting, hateful way Jacqueline has. I would think under the circumstances her energy could have been better used treating her child.
    The reality is for most of us, based on Jacqueline’s behavior, that this is a desperate attempt at staying relevant. She’s had over a year now to come forward and advocate not only for her son but all children with autism. She has not!! Only now when the season didn’t play out favorable for her and her cohorts is she coming forward. I think people are very sad for Nicholas and the challenges he faces. I believe people even feel for Jacqueline. This doesn’t change the fact that she played her hand wrong this season and it’s coming back to bite her in the ass. There’s a reason people should watch themselves on their way up so to speak, cause you never know when you might fall down. She’s fallen and the viewers have little faith in her overall intentions. Remember, we reap what we sow!! Jacqueline and Co. Have been nothing short of despicable this season. Any future successes these ladies feel they’ve earned has been lost..All in the name of READING BETWEEN THE LINES!!

    By the way, shall we keep our mouths closed like Jacqueline has?
    Just saying!!
