Dina Manzo Speaks! Responds To Appearing On Upcoming Episode!
Former RHONJ star Dina Manzo has finally decided to speak regarding her upcoming appearance on The Real Housewives of New Jersey! Dina took to her Facebook page to say the arguing is just petty!
Dina wrote,
“The fighting on HW’s is completely petty & silly, I didn’t even know about any of it because I stayed away. I am allowed to support a friend with her launch, a friend who always supported me. I didn’t bash my family at all, I assured Teresa that the BS wouldn’t hurt our relationship as long as she didn’t “hurt” my sister. A joke in a book is stupid, yes, but not grounds for me to hate a friend of 15 yrs & the mother of my Goddaughter. For those of you who thrive on drama & want to hate me for it, do me a favor & defriend me, Friends like you I don’t need ; ) PEACE”
Do you think Dina should stop being friends with Teresa since Caroline hates her so much?

AllAboutTRH Meets RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice
Shut up Dina! That’s why you went away for a while so Danielle Staub didn’t expose you. Bring back Danielle!!
Dina is right, she has stuck by Teresa because she doesn’t feel what she did is so hurtful that she should be crucified for it. Caroline continues to try and bring everyone else into the fight so she can look good and I think that is what she did to Dina. Dina has class, keep it up. love you
The cookbook comments were nothing to be enraged about.. Dina is sane while Caroline is an insane bitch for holding a grudge…. This isnt what the show is supposed to be about. the cookbook should have brought some drama that ended in T and Caroline hashing it out and movbing on to other show drama. This has dragged on far too long because someone dared to cross caroline…
really, how you feel about the person is how you take it. If it a friend you laugh and thank them because I am not y’all in my book but if you hate the person it doesn’t matter what you said, T could have said she owes everything to Caroline or Caroline is like a saint–if you hate the person you just won’t like what they do. As a matter of fact the mere mention of the persons name sends you into sewage hole of thoughts.
Is this hate really about the cookbook? Don’t think so. That is the excuse. T does not edit her mouth when she talks, does not think first. What she thinks is funny is often stupid, and Caroline knows that because everybody else does. Neither was it intended to diss Kathy during a toast. A psychologist would have a party with this group. I am trying to figure out why Caro had a breakdown when she was so happy getting T out of her life for good. Maybe a psychiatrist….
she had a breakdown because neither her husband nor Jac nor anyone really backed her up. she felt alone
the only breakdown in jersey is Caroline manzo,she lost her backup.after the cameras went off cc roline ragged Kathy,and jac about so called rumors.she made about private affairs such as being so poor,and she was pissed that lauren jumped in.She said that the last person she would ask about advice from is that asshole Lauren.She promised to fire on eveybody if the ladies do not back here for.Cann`t
I am sick of Caroline. She has finally succeeded in turning the others away from Teresa. The others have to be weak or crazy not to see through Caroline.
I admire the hell out of Teresa. When the going got rough she got tough and wrote the cookbooks, promoted them and brought in some income for her family. She could have easily had hit rock bottom which the other jealous girls would have loved. OMG Caroline…get over the cookbook. She has apologized and apologized for hurting you but you like to dwell on it for your own publicity. AND I am sick of those two boys of yours and that fat daughter. I don’t know why you let the cameras exploit them since you are such a great mother. HA!!!! They are not interesting, silly acting, immature, etc. Melissa is a coniving hiefer who learned quickly that her mouth better stay shut cuz she was losing fans. She cannot sing and makes a fool of herself trying.
Actually Teresa is the only housewife that has really made a name for herself with her cookbooks.
Dina rocks……she is not a dumb broad…she is standing by Teresa because she knows more than any of us know about the group and that should tell everyone something.
Oh yes and Kathy……..the damn toast thing was stupid. Something else for Caroline to point out. Geezzzzzz to sensitive there Kathy. It was a MISTAKE….plain and simple.
Oh yeah and it is also interesting that Caroline’s husband managed to sleep perhaps 2 feet away while she was doing all of her yelling, screaming, pointing finger and making a complete azz out of herself. Something is wrong in this family. The kids need to develop their own friends and hang out instead of being on Mommy and Daddy coattails all the time. Aren’t they old enough to have jobs and support themselves???? OMG I cannot bear that family.
Chris Laurita and Al Manzo both look like men who are weary of the drama surrounding their women. Al didn’t bother to pipe up while Caro went to pieces as she spewed her hate at Teresa. He has seen this many times before.
Actually Dina never was going to be exposed. Danielle only was bringing to lite information concerning a custody battle with Lexi. Dina is just above all the bullcrap that the other wives are so obsessive over. I agree with her its petty and sad.
How do you think Danielle got all this info about Dinas custody battle? Jac gave her all her ammo on Dina.. Remember Jac said it was Dina going after danielle when it was really caroline! Jac stabbed Dina in the back and caused trouble with her custody battle… hows that for a loyal sister in law?
I KNOW, right? Me and my mom picked up on that the very first time we saw the first season finale- we saw that she was not a loyal friend, and that she’s a horrible judge of character. And that’s still true. Except now I’ve realized that she’s also a horrible person.
You got a point there could be why Dina doesn’t talk to Jac; they ruined the show for me; Caroline and Jac; and Kathy justing want to get in; always give T twisted advise everything Kathy does and says you can tell is all for camera time; she doesn’t want to be close with T that is why they have never been close for awhile; don’t try to force it. Bravo brought in Melissa and Kathy for more drama never knowing the drama that would unfold with Caroline and T. Remember with Caroline it is all jealous and her kids; DId anyone notice Stupid christopher saying “there is only so many times my mom could be kicked in the teeth” What you and your brother sister and Greg you mother and father have been bashing T and her husband and kids for 2 seasons back to back we see it week after week. These kids are the further they are pretty lame and dumb actually.
That is why Dina got FIRED – hello????!!! Bravo fired her ass for forging her ex’s signature! She is insanely jealous of Caroline for not following her out the door.
Where is the proof?
Dina,
Said she knows that Teresa didn’t do anything to her sister. Plain and simple.
I agree bring back Danielle, Caroline still can’t give an honest reason for hating Teresa so much.
I think the only reason she is siding with Tre now is for publicity! It is sad and of course and wrong. Dina has had rhinoplasty, the photo above is before the surgery, she is very pretty either way.
When are Caroline’s fans going to realize posting in support of Caroline just makes them look like delusional haters. You know what we are all thinking on ALLAboutTRH when we see it: they must be a hater, horrible friend, daughter hater too! How can they not to see how evil Caro clown is to everyone. Screaming your head off at people every episodes and calling your own daughter an asshole is not a good thing Caro fans in case you are confused by normal and acceptable human behavior. Caro fans=bully/hater and proceed with caution!
dina went away because danielle is a criminal and was trying to control her and threaten her. i would leave too if a luantic was in a show. danielle should never come back to television. if she does i’m not watching.
Dina is the smart one of the bunch. She stepped away and kept from the ridiculous Drama…
Dina is responding because she sees how completely psycho Caroline and Jac’s fans are to think a cookbook joke is the same and equal in offense as the disgusting Manzo family bashing and trashing Teresa, Joe and her little girls for two two years nonstop. Dina has had it with those clueless posters and fans of Caroline and Tre haters who leave her the nastiest, evil tweets and Facebook comments every day. Dina keeps telling all these Tre haters to get a life, but as she knows it is beyond them. The Carolyn fan base are a hateful bunch just like Caroline and Dina is basically calling them the fools that they are and telling them enough already before their heads explode.
And Caroline NEVER supported ANYTHING that Dina has done, not her charity, or her new TV show. In fact Caro talked her brother out of doing Dina’s show for his wedding day, and airing it on Bravo instead. That was the nail in the coffin.
Caro is jealous that Dina has her own show, where she is the star.
NOPE!
I think Dina is basically saying Caroline is overreacting.
Maybe she is overreacting a little but it doesn’t take away from the fact that Tre is selfish and only gives a crap about herself.
They are all selfish and obsessed with themselves thats why they can’t agree or stop fighting because they all want the other one to say sorry when they are all wrong.
I disagree with that because they were all friends for over a decade. Jac, Dina, and Caro are family, and Teresa was equated as being their family. There were never any of these ludacris problems until Teresa started getting deals they were not. None of them ever had one fight prior to getting notoriety and trying to get their own deals because of this show. Danielle even stated years ago that there were many issues and problems amongst the Manzo/Laurita clan prior to being on the show and none of them involved Teresa or anyone else. Look at the fact that Caroline has severed ties with most of her family. Its been that way long before Teresa and herself had issues. One of the reasons and the major reason Dina left the show was because her family was changing due to being on tv! Because Teresa tries to not keep the argument going or chooses to not BASH or BERADE her former friends does not make her selfish. Choosing to do better to provide for her family does not make her selfish. Caroline is a fool. She has demonstrated this past season the emotional monster she really is. It is clear to see why family members have distanced themselves form her. It is also clear why T’s family joined the show and has caused much distress that should have never occurred. When you pick a camera over your family and morals, you are a selfish pig!
My response is for Anastasia
Mine too…..look below.
Deb Im so sorry for the loss of your daughter. As a Mother myself I couldnt fathom it. Your in my thoughts.
DEB, I am in the club(twenty five years, yesterday), and although half Siggi, consider myself 100% Italian. We have our codes of respect and honor, I agree with your assessment. Something serious went down in that family because being not invited to a funeral is unforgiveable.
My angst is that THE WORLD thinks American Italians are this low class and angry. Bravo is laughing all the way to the bank. What will people do for a dollar? Is this better than Honey Boo Boo?
I am so sorry about your deep sorrow for the loss of your daughter. Remember that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Sharing with other parents helped me more than anything, and gave me courage and strength to help hundred of parents over 16 yrs through an international org called TCF. All we can do is be brave, and cherish our memories.
You should have added that Carolines nephew died.. Caroline was not invited to the funeral and was asked not to attend by her own brother. What did caroline do that made her brother hate her so much that he refused to allow her to pay respects at the funeral? Yet.. knowing this, this woman wants us to believe she is innocent in all the battles she has with her many siblings and her own mother? Everyone is out to get Caroline?
Its clear Caroline does consider Teresa family, she gave her teh same treatment she has given so many of her other siblings.
This woman needs some mental health assistance. She is not stable.
Didn’t know that Caroline had issues with her mom. She and Dina both have said more than once that they wish to protect their mom by avoiding public drama between the two.
Say What- I put that out a while ago and so did a few other posters.And it was her nephew of the brother that went down with Signature Apparel with Chris Laurita!
This speaks volumes I’m 100% itailan and for a brother to tell his sister not to come to his son’s funeral something is very wrong.I had my oldest daughter pass away 3 years ago and my brother and sister helped us so much.My brother and I don’t always agree about everything but WE are always there for each other no matter what.I truly think Caroline needs mental help,and Jaco too.
I have seen many times on Twitter, Caroline’s mother repeatedly asking the Manzo kids to stop sending nasty, vulgar, mean tweets to their other various family members. This is separate from Tre. Poor Grandma is embarrassed with how petty, cruel and juvenile both Caroline and her adult children continue to be in public to their own family. Is it any wonder they are cruel to people outside the family if they can not even show respect inside their family.
Preach! Preach ! Micher spread the word, this whole fight is about Teresa being chosen by endosers for their products and not the Manzos or Lauritas.
Absolutely!
I agree 100% Redd-omg to read above-Caroline asked to NOT attend her nephews funeral by her brother? her flesh and blood-whats this say about Caroline? (she needs mental help,and Jaco too.) If caroline is not the center of attraction, no one else matters!
Marylou – Caro was not even mentioned in the obit.
To me, that speaks volumes about Caro.
LOL! Caroline is completely overacting. This is childish and unbecoming of a 50 year old woman. She is acting like a 2 year old. Caroline is pathetic, a bully and hurtful. Caroline needs to be fired!
I disagree. I thought that in previous seasons. But now, I think Caroline is out of control with her hatred towards Teresa. Teresa does at times, in my opinion, have trouble with her arguments. Meaning, she gets mumbled and jumbled and does not get her point across well. She doesn’t sound eloquent. That being said, I don’t think she is malicious. I think she honestlymdoesnt realize that others get very upset with her. Clearly she is slightly aloof. However, Caroline isn’t letting go of anything! She says she wants no drama. Umm…l.call bullshit. Her facial expressions and her constant lack of acceptance of an apology makes her look and sound evil, conniving, judgemental, and bichy. Look at her…..Caroline looks awful. Goes along with her personality.
Srt, I think that is a good summary but I also think in the big scheme of things, Teresa realizes what is important and constantly dealing with that crap is bs! With everything else T had going on, serious issues to contend with, I think those things were not big deals! There are far bigger fish to fry in life then arguing over that crap.
I am not a good arguer either, matter of fact I hate to argue. Why would anyone want to argue with me about my own life/decisions/etc? Unless you are financing my life style I don’t owe you any explanation or anything.
I am not equipped to argue, it is stressful, nerve wrecking but I know some people are just looking for a fight.
I don’t want to argue.
I don’t care what you do, how you do it that is your business.
Since T’s frenemies started trashing her in their talking head interviews I knew something was wrong and these people weren’t her friends.
The thing is the viewers latched on to Teresa, had she turned out to be a bad person we would all be trashing her but she hasn’t nor has time to do anything but take care of her business.
Rah, and Jac wants to cry because Teresa does not tell her every little thing, but yet not one of them on that show said one word to T’s face until last night after season 3 and now 4 . They all, even the men and adult children humiliated her, made fun of her, trashed her, two-faced her! And this was long before the tabloid controversy.
Rah Rah. ITA and I think another thing that tongue ties Teresa is that there are things she cannot mention either because of bravo or because they would be Embarassing to her parents. Those two combined would tongue tie even me. Right?
Tre may have problems expressing her thoughts productively, but it could just as well be her lack of confidence when speaking to a group of vile people or when trying to express herself publicly. I still think it is due to her speaking with the italian tongue greater than she does with the English version. So now, everyone’s aware of her insecurities and they play on it. If they’d spend more time on building their brand as other HWs have done (including Tre), they’d have a storyline that warrants viewing and end the repetitive bash fest.
I think there things Bravo told them they can’t discuss and this is what Teresa gets caught up on, there are things she wants to say about certain topics but can’t. Also I think she was blindsided by every one and doesn’t really know what’s going on with all of them so she doesn’t know what to address.
ITA! Cosign. Just said the same further up… Totally
It speaks volumes of Teresa’s character when she was on WWHL. He mentioned that she wanted to o back in the room and tell Caro off,but then she remembered her friend, Dina, and her mother Nettie, and chose to just walk away and let it go because of how Dina and Caro always say how they don’t want their mother to worry. Isn’t that sweet? I wish everyone else had the same respect for mama and papa gorga that Teresa has for Nettie laurita.
Real sweet of Teresa, she considers Dina a real friend, and respects Dina’s Parents.
To bad Caro doesn’t have the same respect for Teresa’s Parents.
I still haven’t watched the episode, but I am on twitter and read all of the blogs, and I don’t know why Caro would bring up Teresa’s Parents, I can’t wrap my head around that.
How cruel is this woman, she repeatedly told Andy that she will not talk about Tiny Manzo or her Parents, she blubbers like a fool whenever he mentions Tiny.
Why the hypocrisy?
why you say that?what about Caroline?She is not selfish?She is a grown women,but i never saw so much hate coming from anybody like her.The menaupause is not an excuse.My mother went throu and she didnt act like this.Her marriage is not what it seems,so she shouldnt talk about T’s.If you read all the tweets on twitter,everybody talking about some Jill,who is his husband mistress allegedly.And talk about her husband.He didnt willy care.I think they know T not gonna spill anything about them in the front of the camera.I hope when its come to the reunion she gonna be like Jac and gonna spill every little dirt she has on them.All of them!!!!
that may explain why she is so wrapped up in her children–like an emotional crutch because she doesn’t have the marriage she is pretending to have!!
No, no, no sweetie, Teresa practices that age old good up bringing that if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all. The Gorga’s did a fine job of raising Teresa to be a lady, a good person and she is keeping to what she has learned.
I love Teresa, I am 20 years older but I remember being like her, not Caroline. Teresa is fun, spunky and has a wonderfully loving personality. Her priorities were like mine–home first.
I am not perfect but I don’t beat myself up and I am certainly not looking for the faults of others.
Finally, if we were basing our judgment on who practices being a Christian or is Christian like to other people it would be Teresa. You can tell she comes from a decent respectable home. Like me, I want to always set the best example and never let my parents see or know that I did something that would shame them even after the are long dead.
Even with all the arguing, I don’t remember Teresa calling Caroline garbage or that she was a liar or hypocrite or that she stunk. Of course, she could have, but chose not to. She argued that she wasn’t lying and that she did care for them. Quite different from the mean, hateful things Caro was saying.
RahRah, I agree that Teresa was raised to be a lady.
But, how much is she expected to take before striking back, now I know that it is not right, but I can see no other way for her to shut the rest of them down.
There comes a time in life when you have to defend yourself, or their behavior will continue until they beat the fight out of you.
Tre was raised to be a lady??? Really!? Do ladies beg their husbands for sex in the vineyard, show their husbands cock ring,start physical fights at a country club and much,much more, on national TV?? Wow,Wow,Wow!!!!
It is not mine, or anybody else’s business, to judge MARRIED Couples sexual preferences, they seem to be free spirits, about their sexuality.
So what, live and let live.
And BTW – Teresa did not lay her hands on anybody at the country club, she was not physical with anyone, Ashlee was the one that was physical with Danielle.
And yes, Teresa IMO was raised to be a lady, hence not spilling the beans about Jac’s son.
RahRah., two things. I love love love (muah muah muah) your comments..l and urndescription of your spirit makes me want to call u my aunt rah rah.
PS rah rah – filial piety has been around since 470 BCE ( in written word). The honor of ones parent and anestors was seen as a central tenet of a civilized society. Shame it’s been lost on so many people. Because it truly does elevate you when u honor ur family. Nice to see u post about it. Tis again
Agreed! The scene where Dina is telling Tre she did nothing to Caroline then Tre had this smile on her face, it was really quite evil! It wasn’t just an I told you so smile it was more like I’m possessed by the devil smile.
Teresa very low…so when you talk to your friends and smile we may call you an evil devil. Good to know. New theory everyone…smiling at your friends=devil. So would snarling at all our friends like Caro be better for you? Does the hate just naturally flow from you each day or do you repack it in in the morning for a fresh batch of hate?
Ummmmm teresa veryloooow forehead, maybe T was smiling bcuz FINALLY somebody had her back!!! I know I would smile, dance and scream it from the rooftops if someone finally defending me after being bashed, trashed and drug thru the gutter with not one person, not even family standing up for me!
How much do you all want to bet that Dina was cringing at watching last nights episode of how teresa was being attacked? Caroline hates teresa with a passion over supposidly teresa poisioning their family! Lets just say hypothetically this is the case. If this were true isn’t Caroline producing more sympathy for teresa by being an incredible bitch to her all the time? She sure is making it easy for her own family to dislike her in how she is talking to, about , and treating teresa! She, jacqueline, and kathy are exposing themselves to being angry and soooo bitter
No kidding, these three are making Mel and Joe look like saints.
Recall that Caroline was able to miser the same level of rage at danielle after only one season of filming – and that was a short season if memory serves. This woman goes from zero to rage too quickly. Either an anger issue there or a very bad acting coach
Who can recall the proud look on mom caroline’s face when she was discussing chris’ future business plans, his carwash. The fight in punta cana, they chose to insert themselves into it, they were all having a good time, now caroline wants to blame Teresa because of her children coming to Teresa’s defense. So at one time they did like Teresa.
I am calling Lauren out for her shitface cosmetics. BLK water forget it, I wouldn’t touch that stuff if they were giving it away with $1000.oo bills.
I viewed Teresa’s book comments as an homage to the rest of the cast. I think her homage to caroline is very poignant.
Seems it’s only funny if they’re making the jokes but as soon as Super T opens her mouth it is a different case.
Why are caroline and jaxass adult children even involved in the grown folks matters, don’t they have their own peers to hang out with and socialize together.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so disgusted with human beings I see on TV ever. Bravo has become the ghetto hood rat of network TV.
CAROLINE IS TO ASHAMED OF HOW SHE TREATED DINA AND IS USING TERESA TO COVER UP HER OWN BACKSTABBING WAYS.
RahRah,, I really agree with your last statement which is that she is using Teresa to cover her shame over her issues w/Dina. Dina is very popular w/the fans. Andy, Caro is as popular as Castor Oil,, get rid of her!
Dina is far wiser than anyone gave her credit for. Why do you think she left the show? She’s still friends with Teresa but doesn’t speak to her own sister. What does that tell you? I can’t wait to see next week. Go Dina!!
too bad all those people who don’t know Teresa personally but hate her don’t see that..the only thing I have seen out of caroline is how to act like the super bitch you can be and that I am not interested in, besides she needs meds, they all do to get of their T obssession–is there a pill for that if not if BLK water can turn back development delays in children it sure ought help those with shitty minds.
And that has been fuel on a simmering fire within Caroline – Dina defending Teresa. And Jamie making very positive statments about Teresa and Joe after the wedding. All season they have battered and attacked Teresa, and this trouble all really went into overload w/ the addition of Kathy and Melissa. Always focusing on Teresa’s family problems, never Caroline’s family problems or financial problems or runors about her husband or things she and her dysfunctional family have said degrading Teresa….I found most everything she is projecting onto Teresa is within her, such as demanding Teresa tell Carline she hated her: think we all see where the hate is. This woman is foul.
JanieG I am with you!!
JanieG-ITA that Caroline kept projecting her own issues onto Teresa last night.
I think that this manzo clan over reacts to everything! I did NOT think that the commets made in the cookbook were overly funny or offensive but certainly not cause to go to war with long time friends. If I were to “defriend” Joe and Tre it would be because they are both crooks and totally shady. Joe WILL be going to prison this year…that is a slam dunk. Why do you think he has been drunk all season? I have always liked Dina Manzo…thought that she was classy, smart and the “voice of reason”. I can’t for the life of me figure out how she has been hoodwinked by these crooked as a dogs hind leg Giudices. I think that it is time that Caroline,Al and the kids, esp. Lauren exit the show. Their story line is lame and brings nothing to the show.
You are so lucky, you don’t know any crooks, law breakers, cheats..and the Manzo/Lauritas have never ever done anything underhanded or dirty to anyone. Everyone in your family must be in the priesthood or convent. Your also very lucky your family has not experienced any economic hardship in this economy too. My sister holds a real estate license, there used to be a time she was selling so many houses she couldn’t stop to take a vacation. Her investments, well if you read more than the housewives stuff you’ll know wall street stole those from her portfolio and now they aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on, oh well her problem.
Who told you Joe was going to prison this year, are you the judge in that case? That is interesting, I usually wait for the verdict.
So you think Dina is stupid because she picks her friends as opposed to caroline picking Dina’s friends.
If you think the Guidices are shady then I think the Manzo/Laurita’s are straight up crooked crooks.
I am glad I have a mind to think for myself and discerning spirit.
I really enjoy your take on things RahRah. You are delightful!
And one more thing. When was the last time a member of the Guidice family was found shot, naked, in the trunk of a car (allegedly). Oh yea, I forgot, that was an accident.
The Manzos hold themself above everyone else. So anyone who achieves more or doesnt kiss their ass… is trash and a target for them. Caroline needs to destroy teresa so she can be top dog of RHONJ..
The best part about last nights episode.. Caroline destroyed her own career, her childrens careers, Kathys career and image ..(no one will buy shit from her!) and in the process she took Jac down with her by going to chris and insisting he keep Jac in line through this process.
Caroline is a nasty bully who used Teresas family against her and her own family is too ignorant and blinded by fame to see whats really going on.
I thought the same thing watching last night, Caro is ruining the TV careers of all of her children. They had popularity a few years ago, but its all turned south.
That’s my thinking. I used to think the Manzo’s were a fun bunch but the more we’ve seen of them, we have seen their dark side and I’m not talking about BLK sludge either. Although in their case, they are what they drink. lol
Dina is right, it’s ridiculously petty! Bottom line is Caro has had a problem with Tre all along. I noticed in S1 that she wasnot only envious of Dina and Tre’s relationship but of Tre herself. For a 51 y.o. she’s very immature. Caro has absolutely no interest in befriending Tre’s SIL or cousin. Everything that she does is to spite Tre and all of that jealousy and hate has taken a toll on her because the lady clearly looks a lot older than 51. As I’ve stated before, it would be so refreshing to have Dina back on the show and resume all of the shopping, trips, and fun times with Tre and her kids. The good ole days…..before this petty drama and all of the come aparts that Caro has been having on every episodes. So played out!
Oh and by the by…..I’ve always thought Dina was very gorg! She looks like a fuzzy and warm kitten! Kudos for being the bigger person through all of this Dina Manzo! You are the example of a true friend!
Love Dina Manzo!!!! She’s beautiful and classy. Everything that Ursula and the sausage could never be.
Ursula and the sausage! HA! Love it!
Has anyone noticed that for the last several episodes, when Teresa comments, she is always in that black feather dress with the over the top make-up. How is that? I thought they didn’t see the episodes until the week before they aired and it couldn’t have all been filmed at one time. Some thing is fishy. I haven’t noticed the others because they have been so boring, but Tre’s outfit has stuck out. Kind of funny they would always use that outfit which is so unflattering. I wonder how they film their comments in relation to when the episodes are filmed?
Most of the talking head interviews are done before the show started airing. A lot of them changed outfits during the interviews 2-3 times as they’re all shot at different times.
The episode they get a week before it’s aired is the edited episode of what’s going to be shown on TV. They get it in advance in order to blog.
Interesting note……..T on WWHL last nite said she only included Caroline in her second cookbook because she, Caroline, complained she wasn’t included in the first, and Dina and Jac were.
Well Caroline, ya got what you asked for, now STFU. You are old news.
Shipp – that was a big reveal! Caro was jealous she was left out of the 1st book. Geez Caro, there is no pleasing you.
I made a comment on Dina’s Facebook, she didn’t like about her making up with her sister and she delete me. Caroline and Dina are one of a kind losers.
Like she really wants hateful people like you commenting on her Facebook page. Would you allow someone who spews insults and hate on your Facebook page to continue. She does not owe you anything. Why should Dina make up and kiss her sister’s butt and only be friends with people Caro approves of. What do you think about Chris and Lauren sending Dina nasty tweets all the time. Not one Manzo has every said one nice word, mention, tweet about Dina’s HGTV show because the jealousy is choking them. Stop stalking Dina and just leave your love notes on Caro’s Facebook page instead. Birds of a Feather Flock together they say Caro lover.
Good for Dina. Why should she put up with idiots on her FB page?
What have Chris & Lauren tweeted to Dina? Were those mean tweets from this year or last year? If Albie hasn’t, maybe he really sees what is going on?
Some last year and some this year, they have been nasty. Except Albie, all he ever does is stick up for his mother, but he is not rude or ignorant like Chris Manzo and Lauren are.
Don’t forget that on the episode before this one, Albie asked why everyone was mad at Teresa.
Albie is the best of them. shame on their mother.
So Dina is telling us that Caro is furious over the cookbook, and nothing else. I’m glad she weighed in on this because Caro’s anger doesn’t make sense. I’ve watched all these episodes and nothing added up.
Dina has always tried to avoid the drama. Caroline started all the drama on this show;season 1 had Danielle investiageted, passed around that book allowing others (danielle) believe it was Dina. Caroline said that Danielle was not worhty of their friendship and they were to shut her out again Dina was blamed. Season 2 Danielle blames Dina for all the things Caroline placed in motion. Jacq being the blabber mouth told private infro to her friend Danielle about Dina ,which she uses. Dina leaves the show to avoid thhe drama, mean while she and Teresa are offered chances outside the show. They both take them as they are fans favorites even Danielle is more popular than the other Manzo and Laurita family members. This is the source of the drama. Caroline the replacement for the friend who dropped out of the show at the last minute is simply a jealous, bitter woman. This show was suppose to make her family famous and super rich, they were are suppose to be the main focus the stars. If things had gone that way none theses problems would have happened.
I agree with most all of your points.
I also think Caroline and her children had opportunities that they blew by being so hateful.
These people need to quit pointing fingers, get off Twitter and take a good, hard, long look in the mirror.
Dina is a phony and two face. Amazing the majority of her family do not speak TO HER!..
She thinks she is above the rest of her family. Her show on HGTV sucks a** big time.
Most of her family, oh, you mean Caro and Jac.
Hate to tell you this, but Dina stopped talking to them not the other way around.
FYI- I quite enjoy her show, and it is nice to see her Daughter Lexi, she is a beautiful young Lady.
FYI # 2 – Dina’s show has been picked up for another season.
Honey, we watch Bravo. We’ve got no leg to stand on when it comes to judging HGTV programming.
I liked Dina on NJ and I like her new show. I’d imagine her legitimate success which is based on talent does not sit well with her sister Caroline.
I find Caroline to be jealous and spiteful.
I was disgusted to hear Caroline, Chris, Lauren and Al all implying that fist fighting was imminent during their argument last night. Seriously? Grown-ups solve problems with words. That made me wonder who was actually at fault in the Punta Cana fight. They seemed so gung-ho to duke it out…
I also thought it was laughable to hear Caroline say, on WWHL, that Teresa’s blogs were “scathing”. Has she ever read Jacqueline’s blogs??? They’re horrendous.
Wasn’t it strange to hear Caroline go on and on about how nobody stood with her and she was “on an island” during the fight. She professes to be such a righteous and strong woman. If she was so right about her opinions, why did she need “soldiers” to join her tirade at Teresa. To me, that shows she is a weak woman.
Lastly, I’d like Caroline to SPIT IT OUT in regard to exactly what Teresa lied about. I’ve been trying to “read between the lines” but I haven’t seen anything.
They did????!????
Yeah, she was inferring that Al would physically fight ‘it came to that.’ ? Huh?! Seriously? That would be weird! Over a cookbook? Over some quotes in a magazine that she said?
And totally strange – why did Caro ‘feel alone’ in the fight? She “fought” Danielle alone at that sit down.
Not sure about the rest of you but one question I keep wondering about…..why are Don Caro’s kids on every trip with the HW’s and husbands? No other kids are there. They are the most malicious mean 20 something’s that I have ever seen. Last season they continually made fun of T. Why??? She never did anything to them. At Wacko’s mini-olympics in her backyard when Don Caro attacked Gia, Lauren was seen saying to Don Caro that she was sick of Melissa and Kathy too. This family thrives on drama and hate is their middle name. Loved last night when the Manzo’s were all so happy that Al was there to protect Don Caro and then the camera pans to him and he is sound asleep…clearly he can block them out
That was so disgusting when Caroline and Jacqueline cornered Gia. Disgusting.
I hear you the adult kids are always around. But…this was supposed to be a ‘working’ trip for the Manzo boys and Chris with that wine company/vinyard.
Thanks to Christopher manzo,KFC stays in business.
love dina
^ X2 – Dina is in the most akward position and she is handling it with 100% class and restraint!
Dina keeps it real and classy. Caro keeps it mean and nasty.
Why should she have to defend her neice and nephews that treat her like shit? Werent the manzo kids constantly on twitter talking shit about their aunt and also uncle jamie who just got married recently? Carolines kids are cruel and uncencored and they dont give a shit. No matter what happens between families dina is still their aunt. And they could care less. It goes to show how they were raised-to treat people like shit just like theid mother does to people. Its pretty sad and disgusting!
Poor Al, that is what happened, he let Caro raise the kids alone, cause he had to work 16 hours a day.
They have no respect for their elders, or for any member of their own family. Great job Caro.
I wonder just how much screaching Al had to put up with in that house, must have been quite a bit. Seeing him sleep during his wife’s rant, and it didn’t faze him in the least, was very telling.
SMH
Yea Dina!! Glad she has stayed friends with Teresa!!
Crazy Caroline is a two face and why do her kids always hang out with the adults cant they get lives of their own?? Teresa has more morals and respect., Caroline lost her morals two cook books ago, she now has a book deal and who is gonna read it?? her stupid kids and the few fans she has left, oh and Fugly Kathy and Melissa, and maybe Greg, ok you sold about a dozen books , you should be proud!!!! Stop ganging up on Tre get lives of your own!!!!!
Many of us really enjoy these housewives shows & due to the drama… In fact many of us complain when there is no drama & claim it’s boring….. That’s exactly what these shows are for, the drama & the majority of the viewers watch for exactly that reason……. Brings ratings for the networks & keeps the viewers happy & watching……
However, Dina ‘chose’ NOT to put herself ‘out there’ any longer & has that right of which I respect her for that… Since she’s not living in ‘this’ reality world with them, she has no script or anyone telling her who she can befriend……….
To each their own………
Teresa is getting the same treatment they gave Danielle!
What goes around comes around.
Bring back Dina and Danielle.
Dina was my favorite!
In the last episode, Teresa brought up to Caroline that she is not on speaking terms with her family. Caroline didn’t speak up then and tell Teresa is was her fault! Instead, Caroline was quiet. On the reunion last year, Caroline told Teresa it was all her fault. Why didn’t Caroline say that on the episode?
I agree with most people that Caroline was overreacting. She should have risen above this because Teresa is garbage. She is a darn disgrace. The lies are abominable and she is so lost in the web of filth that she can’t keep track or find her way out. The funniest part is that I don’t think she is smart enough to do this on purpose or wih vindictive motives. I think she’s just a desperate fool, who is trying to hang on to her worthless man and lifestyle for dear life and will do anything and I mean anything. What a sorry bunch. I feel sorry for her kids to have these 2 as parents. Pitiful!
