Dina Manzo Responds To Chairty And Being Friends With Teresa Just For Show Claims
For those of you who don’t know, former New Jersey housewife Dina Manzo had a fallout with her sister Caroline Manzo and sister in law Jacqueline Laurita. Many are not exactly sure what the reason is but there have been several rumors starting from blaming Teresa and Dina simply being over the drama with her in law. Dina is known for being a ‘charitable girl’ and Jacqueline “sources” recently told RealityTea that everything is all for show including her friendship with Teresa Giudice
From RealityTea:
Little Mrs Charity……is not who everyone thought she was,” our source asserts. “Dina’s social media image is SO farfetched from who the ‘real’ Dina is. Those who really know her just shake their heads and laugh.” If you’re wondering if Dina and Caroline Manzo have patched things up, the answer is no. They’re still not speaking; nor is Dina speaking to Jacqueline. Many have wondered how Dina could continue her friendship with Teresa, particularly after all the drama with Caroline, and the answer is money! Apparently, the two have a completely business relationship built around mutual favor.“Teresa taped a segment for her party planning show, Dina’s Party. She needs Teresa to help her with her popularity. In return, Dina attended her beverage launch party and was filmed by Bravo. Their interaction was so fake,” the insider describes. “Dina also wants to come out with a book and she wants to use the same publishing house as Teresa. So, basically it is a business deal. Dina may take to Twitter to praise Teresa but, that is not what she claims behind the scene. And even worse, our insider says Dina has stopped caring about her charity, Project Ladybug, now that she has her own show! “Project Ladybug was a charity started by ALL the Laurita sisters. When Dina went on the show [RHONJ], she took it over as if she was the founder and the blood, sweat, and tears behind it.” “She wanted the glory and the attention associated with Project Ladybug. She wanted to look like the hero,” the source adds. Caroline and their other sister, Cookie Laurita allowed Dina to take the lead and downplayed their involvement, but Dina “only speaks of Project Ladybug as if it were her own.”
So how did Dina respond to this? She wrote, “@realitytea hey just read ur post! Next time u want a source #truth ask my parents or the parents of a ladybug not an envious loser! Thanks!” Well well well, I wonder who Dina is talking about! It sounds like Jacqueline is behind this story. Jacqueline has given scoops about RHONJ and also provided a nasty scoop about her sister in law Dina to a blogger in Chicago that she was warned about. I don’t think Caroline would ever be behind this because Dina is her little sister and family is important to Caroline. I wonder why Chris Laurita, Dina’s brother, Jacquelines husband doesn’t ever stop Jac. If it was Jac behind this story, that’s just sad. Another reason I think it’s most likely Jacqueline is because when word got out that Dina filmed a little part with Teresa on season 4, Jacqueline messaged me about it and called out Dina for doing it. This is her family and if she has something to say she doesn’t need to go behind the name of a “source”
More tweets from Dina after the story broke out:
Who do you think is behind the story? Do you believe any of the claims?

AllAboutTRH Meets RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice
I was kicked off Dina Facebook because I made a common her people didn’t like which was make up with your sister so I think Dina is what they say a true fake.
Woah you couldn’t be more wrong about Dina lady above me. Dina is not fake at all I know her and she is geniune and a really good person. Dina stays away from the drama and stays true to her heart, fake jealous people like Jaq and Caroline don’t like that. Also, Dina and Teresa truly love eachother, they’ve had a close friendship for many many years.
I really like Dina! I always have I love her humor also she is funny as hell and I bet very down to earth. Now Jac and Caroline I cant stand them at all they are jealous and trouble makers then sit back and act innocent. JMO
Dina has always stayed clear from anyone talking about her family business, she has said that a million times. So I don’t blame her, especially if you have a million people telling you this when they don’t know the situation. So i don’t see that as fake.
So Dina’s fake because she removed you from her FB after you told her what to do? None of us know the REAL reason that she is no longer speaking to Caroline. There’s speculation, there are rumors, and both Dina AND Caroline have said that they will not speak about what is going on publicly out of respect to their parents. Which, I respect BOTH of them for. When there is a family falling out that is between the family members that it involves. Often times there are too many people coming in from the outside offering their 2 cents, when it’s honestly not their business. I’d hardly call someone fake because they are keeping personal business to themselves.
wish Caroline wouldve done the same for Teresa during the reunion…
Very well said!
Good one!!
Jacqueline needs to put down the wine glass, step away from the computer and to stop feeding bloggers nasty info about your family. Her husband should throw out her laptop and make her focus on motherhood. Instead of twitter, she should join a mommy and me group with Nicholas.
I am 90% percent sure that Jacqueline’s camp was the source behind reality tea story, but i am 100% sure that Jax and Melissa Gorga have been sources for a chicago blogger that writes Housewives blogs.
Jacqueline has been a “source” for a blogger in Chicago for a while. This blogger has written some pretty gross things about Dina and Teresa in the past and is a big fan of MeHO. Jacqueline not only provides scoops to this blogger, but gave her a pretty mean story about “Dina” during the holidays. Remember…..when Jax sent that “forgiveness” tweet to Danielle, Tre, and Dina, it was around that time. Jacqueline didn’t even try to disguise herself as the “source” and she gave the blogger a complete story on her stripper drama and then the blogger tweeted and pretty much verified that Jax was the source. Let’s see Jacqueline try to Deny this lol.
Which blog are you referring to? I’d be interested to read their blogs.
It’s cool I found it. I didnt realise you were talking about that evil cow Lynne’s STOOPID blog.
I actually like Dina. I would tweet her before, and she would tweet me back all normal and friendly. If she is fake, I would still pick her over Jacqueline any day! Hey, at least she isn’t cuckOO like Jacqueline.
Sounds a lot like stuff Jacqueline would say. Had to be her. I sense another breakdown coming as she gets called out on it…. Jacqueline needs some serious therapy to deal with her jealousy, insecurity and anger issues. She needs to fix herself before she ruins her marriage. Her husband seems like a level headed guy. You’ve got to imagine that he gets tired of dealing with her crap.
I think it could be Danielle as the source as well. Jacqueline I believe is too cowardly to do this, unless she was smashed at the time so who knows. It could very well be Ashley or Bonnie too, since Jacqueline tells them everything. I just don’t think Jacqueline would do this personally because I believe she is too scared of Dina. It doesn’t surprise me in the least that JAcqueline Dm’d you this. What a cowardly drunken hateful thing to tweet/dm about family, and that is Jacqueline’s MO.
Why would you say Jac is scared of Dina? Did you watch the table flipping episode? Jac went against Dina and defended Danielle.
I have met both Dina and Caroline and think they are wonderful women….My bet is on Caroline….I don’t family is as important to her as people say…..ie Manzomomma is not speaking to her brother either…that said …I HAVE MISSED YOU ROXANNE!!!
maggie (grandma2aiden)
OMG I meant I met Dina and Tre….gag would never go anywhere Caroline is ……(Bleh)
LOL!
LOL! I was trying to figure out how you could say she was a wonderful woman yet still think she did it.
NYgirl, You’re right. I forgot about that. Jacqueline was as wrong then, as she is now. I’m grateful you pointed this out to me. Jacqueline is a snake. No question about that!!
I’m confused Rox…did Jac DM you the link to this story (Reality Tea)? If so, then she is wackier than I thought.
WELCOME BACK ROXANNE WITH A BANG !!!! MISSED ALL THIS
))
That was the negative DM you received from Jacqueline? That Dina filmed with Teresa? Of course now everyone thinks Jacqueline is the source based on your investigation. Very fair assessment and so unbiased.
lolag,
The reason that Rox mentions that tweet is because Jacqueline has a history DM people “shit” about others. The signifigance of that tweet from Jax is that she knows Rox is a blogger and will blog about this. The other thing is at that time no one knew that Dina had filmed a segment with Teresa. Jacqueline confirmed this and added how pissed everyone in the family was about it so Rox can blog. From Dming and giving scoops to bloggers Jacqueline has a PATTERN of behavior that is now becoming easy to recognize.
Get it Now?
Let me know if you need me to break anything else down for you ; )
Thanks! Great breakdown.
Tell Frank hello and we sure do miss her-NOT!
LOL
So, Jac claimed that T sold stories to mag “mostly about herself and others”, but Jac DM stories to blog WITHOUT GETTING PAID. UGH…she can’t even do it RIGHT.
Good point, I forgot about that. If this is really from Jac then she talks in circles.
It shows how jealous Jacs has become of Dina and Tre.
The “green eyed monster is doing somersaults thru the Gorga, , Laurita/Manzo and Wakile households.
For someone who is always pointing the finger at people giving stories about her….Jacqueline sure loves to give stories about other folks.
Wonder what Don C is saying about this? Oh yeah Don C hates Teresa and Dina is on her shit list……so i doubt Don C will loose any sleep over Jacquelines latest shananigans.
Countdown to Twitter Rant from Jacqueline starts now…………
Sorry, but I don’t see it as being Jaqueline, I don’t think she has the guts to actually pull any of that off. I can see Danielle Staub doing it (I mean hello, hasn’t she attacked Dina before? And that’s why Caroline was all pissed off at Danielle Staub in the first place?) It’s very Danielle-ish, and I’ve read some of the tweets Danielle has had in the past and she’s coo-coo bananas. But I also wouldn’t put it past Melissa Gorga and her family to do it either. So my bet is that it’s on Danielle & Melissa.
No it was not Danielle, because they have cooled it down for a while. I think the issue with Danielle was with Teresa and Jac
LOL! I guess Teresa making Dina, Audriana’s godmother was also strictly business. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Jac and Caroline. Caroline shocked a lot of people at the reunion with her cruel behavior. She played up the drama about Teresa being behind her rift with Dina. She was probably furious with Dina for defending Teresa. She can turn on people in a second. I doubt Dina being her sister matters. She has other siblings that won’t speak to her also.
Didn’t you also imply that Jacqueline was in on the photo of Juicy Joe being released? Then updatted your with Jacqueline’s denial and swearing on her kids she did have anything to do with.
My guess is you don’t follow Jacs tweets. Kim G. with Jacs knowledge released that photo.
Jacqueline warned Teresa that the photo was going to released. That is what texts revealed. Teresa said on the reunion that it could have been Jacqueline when Andy asked.
I believe Rox is reporting all things. So, when Jacqueline denies something, she will report on that as well. Lolag, do you not think this is something Jacqueline will do? Rox gave her opinion in her blog, then she asked her reader’s opinion. She didn’t say any of this is fact. This is a blog, not USA Today.
L.O.L.
The source (allegedly Jacs) seems so jealous and unbalanced. I think Caroline feeds her everything then sits back. Jacs knows she is not relevant, but can’t seem to believe it. Her past behavior on twitter has put her in the lunatic category. Does Jacs still have that $8 million lawsuit hanging over her head?
I believe you’re onto something here. Caro is much like that Chicago “blogger” who sends in the goons to do her dirty work so she can show how clean her hands are. Both vile!!
This is the direct excerpt from the blog that Jacqueline sold Dina out on. Jacqueline used a third party to send this information to the blogger for semantics. So if anyone asks her if she directly sent info to a blogger and give nasty story about Dina and Teresa she can say no. In actuality she gave the info to a third party who then directly sent it to the blogger lol. Jacqueline has been providing info to this blogger for a while and the blogger does not hide the fact that she communicates with Jacqueline.

It’s unusual to see a Housewife send a prayer to her cast mates but that’s exactly what Jacqueline did, then she Tweeted this:
JacLaurita You are probably busy saving the world but we would all love for you to come today @dinamanzo
It’s not a gold embossed engraved invitation but Jacqueline extended an olive branch, Dina Manzo was invited to join her own family for Christmas but instead of politely declining, ignoring or actually taking the high road and joining her family, Dina tweeted this:
dinamanzo The most dangerous “Hateful” people are the ones who has everyone convinced that their angels…eventually the ugly comes out for all to see
JacLaurita What a hateful thing to tweet. Lol! I agree with u.R we going to see u at Caroline’s today? Lets make it happen. Time 4 a change @dinamanzo
(Why can’t anyone use the proper “They’re”? Yes yes, I know I’m not perfect!)
That is ironic coming from Dina who is hateful and dangerous herself! Dina hides her vile side by deleting Tweets after attacking people with the most obvious hatred she can stir up. I personally have been on the receiving end of Dina’s mean tweets. Dina tries to portray herself as “Zen” and even religious but her bitterness is unending. Dina has a black heart.
The truth is Dina has never forgiven Jacqueline for the Season One dinner from hell, while the focus was on Teresa flipping a table, Dina hasn’t forgotten that Jacqueline called her out on having lied about the book. Dina tried to deny having even handled the book allowing her sister Caroline to take the heat for her. Jacqueline called her out on camera calling Dina a liar. The truth is, Dina was lying. She did handle the book, she showed it around, she read it and she made sure everyone she knew was aware of the book.
In an interview with an inside source close to the Jersey Housewives I was told:
“She (Dina) wrote that little blog after the reunion to try to throw Caroline under the bus in a subtle way and then she filmed with Teresa for season 4 after the reunion as well because she said that she thought Teresa would use her charity for Celebrity Apprentice but then Teresa didn’t.”
Jacqueline has been accused of “abusing” an ex-boyfriend, The insider was able to get this directly from Jacqueline, this is Jacqueline’s story:
My relationship was NEVER a volatile one with the person in question. It was a great one that eventually ran its course (was more like a best friend at the time and they were having a hard time accepting that this relationship was over with me, due to his partying ways and that I was just ready to move on) I really don’t have a bad thing to say about him at all. He’s a great guy and was always good to me. I went out about one night every other week for a release. I wasn’t the big partier people think I was. (I wasn’t in highschool anymore) I usually had people over to hang out because it was just cheaper that way, but when I went out…..Yahoooo!!! I knew how to have fun with my friends. I never did drugs or anything like that, just fun goofy stuff with my friends, drank alcohol of course but NEVER drugs.
That whole thing was an isolated incident and we BOTH got arrested. I was being antagonized with him screaming in my ear,”TALK to ME!!” over and over again and when I tried to just walk away, he followed me. I also gave fair warning as to what I was going to do if he didnt stop harassing me & screaming in my ear before I slapped him. He screamed real close to my ear again so I kept my word . He tried x`to cover for me when the cop came and said it was his fault but I told the truth, the way I always do, which was that I physically slapped him first and that’s why we BOTH were brought in. I could have let him just go in alone but I was honest because thats how I am. I am fair. I will admit when I am wrong and will usually just make a joke out of it to lighten the mood. We laughed about it the very next day together. I never tried to hide it from ANYone. I tell everyone that story. It was NOT abuse of ANY kind.
Jacqueline shared this story with the insider who had the approval to send it to me, this is the same story she’s told before in her words. At the beginning of season one Jacqueline told viewers that she had a hard time fitting in with the New Jersey crowd when she first moved there. The other “Housewives” in her neighborhood heard that she was from Las Vegas and rumors spread that she had been a stripper. Jac was also dealing with a very large Laurita family and trying to fit in with them as well.
Jacqueline insists that she was never a stripper, the insider told me this:
“InTouch was badly informed Jac was never a stripper at Glittergulch in 1992 and 1993! She was not a stripper and was most definitely was never offered money for sex. This rumor of Jac stripping started among neighbors when she moved to Jersey but never really hit the press until recently. Keep in mind who is a “regular” over at InTouch. (Teresa) and that none of this came out until after Teresa and Jacqueline began to argue.”
“Dina judges and makes fun of everyone behind their backs and thinks everyone is in love with her. Dina’s comments about being talked about on the season three reunion was a dig at Bravo for firing her. She said she wanted to be paid if they were going to bring up her name all the time”
Remember Dina did not leave the show on her own accord, her husband Tommy refused to film the show and then her ex-husband refused to allow their daughter Lexi to film either. Dina forged her ex-husband’s signature on the contract allowing Lexi to film during season one and Bravo let Dina go after that stunt. Dina claimed to have signed her ex-husband and current husband’s names all the time and didn’t think it was a big deal.
The insider goes on…
“For someone who claims she wants to “AVOID drama” she sure picked a heck of a time to go film with Teresa when she would never film with her own family and then she tweets some of the antagonizing comments that mostly only her family understand and also she sent that blog the way she did to cover her tracks. She claims to be ZEN?
Some very ugly tweets have been traced back to her (Dina), her helper Luke and some from Towaco, Michigan, Chicago and even some in Canada. I know Teresa’s writer is from Michigan. When confronted about it, Dina blamed it on Lexi. Dina used to make up fake (Twitter) accounts all of the time when her wedding aired on VH1 to defend herself.”
AHA! I KNEW Teresa had a writer! I’m not surprised that Dina pulls this nonsense on Twitter, she didn’t have much else to fill her days until her new show came along.
Teresa has changed, maybe all of the Housewives change after becoming a Bravo reality cast member. I asked my source about Teresa too, I said it seemed as though Dina was more calculating than Teresa but I was told:
“Teresa is more calculating than you think. She is a great fun person as long as she doesn’t feel threatened by you. As long as she outshines you, she’s happy. Jac always allowed Teresa to shine and that is why they got along so well in the beginning”
I asked about the argument between Teresa and Jacqueline:
“Jacqueline admits that it wasn’t nice to call Teresa scum on twitter and she did apologize to her eventually in a text message, Jac was just really hurt and angered by Teresa.”
The insider added:
“I can’t tell you the whole story yet (Jac and Teresa’s fight) but I’ll just tell you that it had NOTHING to do with Melissa even though Jacqueline wasn’t agreeing with some of the sneaky things Teresa was doing to Melissa & her family.”
The insider told me that Danielle tried to use many tactics to turn the family against Dina:
“Danielle tried to tell Caroline and Jacqueline that she had seen Dina stripping in a club, Dina did have a friend who was a stripper and Danielle described this friend to a ‘t’ but Dina never stripped. Danielle also told them that Dina did coke on a regular basis but that is when her family knew Danni was lying, Dina didn’t approve of coke and she rarely drinks alcohol although she did sometimes use prescription drugs not as prescribed. ”
Jacqueline insists that she was never a stripper, the insider told me this:
“InTouch was badly informed Jac was never a stripper at Glittergulch in 1992 and 1993! She was not a stripper and was most definitely was never offered money for sex. This rumor of Jac stripping started among neighbors when she moved to Jersey but never really hit the press until recently. Keep in mind who is a “regular” over at InTouch. (Teresa) and that none of this came out until after Teresa and Jacqueline began to argue.”
Interesting….
The insider goes on…
“For someone who claims she wants to “AVOID drama” she sure picked a heck of a time to go film with Teresa when she would never film with her own family and then she tweets some of the antagonizing comments that mostly only her family understand and also she sent that blog the way she did to cover her tracks. She claims to be ZEN”
^^ That’s exactly what Jacqueline messaged me on twitter. Therefore she was the “source” I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want to start problems with the family but Jac blocked AllAboutTRH so I could carless now. It’s clear she’s the insider.
its ok rox the damage has been done. dina knew it was jacqueline all along anyway. something tells me that jac never got over her fight with dina from oh so long ago
Far out I hate it when Jac does that. She sends you a DM then blocks you. She’s done that to me. Thanks for the inside scoop Rox. Knew it was Jac anyway had her name written all over it.
Yes, Jac has the balls to DM people if they don’t agree with her crazy tweets & then blocks you (me), so you can’t respond! Imagine if we gathered all the DM’s she sent? Sorry, Jac is certifiably nuts! I, do believe Dina just wanted to get away from the drama and toxic environment, & I give her credit for walking away from what is now just a horrible mean-spirited show.
Hi! Are you familiar with this site? It is a tweet tracker and it seems like Jacqueline had no problem addressing Dina in general tweets.
http://tweettunnel.com/reverse3.php?id=19708968&tz=&pn=13
That Lynn From Chicago is a nasty piece of work. So negative. I followed her for a while on twitter but had to stop.
ROX, can you please delete that long post. Didn’t realize this was gonna look so long here. YOu can leave the link, but asthenitcally it looks kinda too long on the comment sections.
Agree. Omg delete that god awful mountain of delusional garbage.
And I wouldn’t say it wasn’t Jac-wac, but wouldn’t be surprised. It would require effort, and we all know how she hates to get up off the couch and put her lip gloss down to actually “do” something. Just my 2 cents, but she comes off as the laziest HW.
No doubt…delete
No, don’t delete – it’s just information. I think there are plenty of others, like me, who never saw that stuff before on another site. (For me, I really only come to this site now — although when AllAboutTRH was on vacation I needed my fix! — all the other sites are difficult to read, too negative and rude, or just not intelligent.)
I personally thought the long post was very informative and interesting to read. I didn’t notice how long it was until your comment and went back up and looked. I think it’s okay and I appreciate the information. So thanks.
This def has Jac and her minions written all over it. Jac & Caro cant get over the fact that Dina is still friends with Tre. Don ManzHo thinks she can sit back and expect everyone to do her bidding and boy did the tables get turned on her this time. As for Jac she needs to stay away from twitter and give up drinking wine. I feel sorry for Chris he’s seems geninuely nice and this fued between his wife and sisters must be hard. I think he ought to leave Jac before her face melts away. I find it really hard to believe that Tre asked Dina to be Audriana’s godmother all for show. To me their friendship seemed geniune albiet maybe a few hiccups along the way. I hope the rumour that ManzHO cant stand MeHo is true. Kinda puts ManzHO in a bit of a pickle with her holier than thouh attitude.
.elissa said at the reunion that Teresa hated Dina and had not spoken to her in six months. Dina admits to not being close with any of the girls Teresa included. It was after Teresa appeared on Dina’s door step in tearss that they reconnected. Dina mentions her wanting to be part of Audriana’s life. She talked about going T’s housew for Audriana’s Biday and then the wine launch.
So was Melissa telling the truth? We know Dina went to T’s NJ premiere party in May. Is it possible that T and Dina went 6 months without speaking?
No Melissa is a huge liar. I know Dina and Teresa both and they have been friends for many years and they both love eachother as good friends do. Teresa and Dina don’t say the word “hate” anyways. They might say someone is a bitch like Melissa the trouble maker for instance but they don’t use the word “hate”
Melissa’s lies really upset me as someone who knows these ladies, if you knew them and how long they’ve been friends you would know how obvious it was that Melissa made that up. Melissa is just a sad, jealous, terrible person and I honestly feel sorry for Teresa because Melissa never stops. I feel bad for Dina too because she’s in the same boat with that nut Jaq always making trouble for her.
I remember when they were casting this show, they said that Dina & Tre were good friends, that the local hair salon suggested the 2 of them, so they must be old friends. Yeah, I don’t trust MeGo’s version of events.
I thought I remembered Dina saying that once the season ended she was having a really hard time dealing with everything that happened so she decided she needed to step back from everyone associated with the show, including Teresa. I got the impression it wasn’t so much that she was mad at her, just she needed to be away from anything show-related. This makes sense to me; I sometimes go months without talking to my best friends just because life gets in the way of what you’d rather be doing. The important thing is that when her friend needed her the most, she was there to support her. Yes, it is good business for them to be friends, but friends do support each other’s endeavors. I notice Dina is not endorsing BLK or Lauren’s makeup business, nor are the Manzo’s supporting Dina’s show. This speaks volumes to me about Dina and Teresa’s friendship being real.
Also forgot to say welcome back Rox!!! We really missed you.
Yes! Welcome back Roxy – I have missed your fabulous posts!!!
Here is the link to Dina’s blog where she addresses this stuff: http://www.dinamanzo.com/press/the-truth/
I am one of those people who really only comes here or the ladies’ direct sites for info, so it is nice for me when others put up links or images of Tweets (since I don’t do twitter) so that I can see for myself what is written.
Also, I’m gonna agree with hannavas on this one: It appears to me that Dina just removed herself from everything and everyone show related for a certain amount of time, without any anger toward anyone.
wait, so Dina was fired from rhonj?
I do not believe that Dina is fake. I don’t believe you can keep up that persona for so long. And, even Caroline has said multiple times that Dina does not like confrontation and wants everyone to get along. I don’t believe she’s friends with Teresa for business purposes only. Silliness…and hurtful.
Plus Italian seems to be very serious about their children Godmother and Godfather. Lots of people commented on the fact that Teresa gave Dina her last child as a Godmother. But many families chose people from their family FIRST, before giving friends and other folks that title.
Jacqueline is caught red handed, and her credibility is out the window. I doubt she will have a twitter rant, because there is nothing to say……she has fed information to bloggers about Dina. I think Jacqueline is farthering the wedge between Caroline and Dina and she stirring the pot and has been for quite some time. She is a drama starter and even her own daughter called her out on that.
Question. I admittedly didn’t watch the vast majority of RHoNJ last season, the first couple of episodes turned me off. What did Teresa do to the Laurita/Manzo’s for them to go so crazy on her?
I’ve read the blogs and recaps I’m really wondering what I missed. It can’t be because she “lied” about her finances. That has absolutely nothing to do with them.
I know the whole Melissa/Kathy thing but for Caroline and Jacqueline to come for her so viciously, what’s the deal?
Maybe it has to do with the Punta Cana bar brawl. The Manzo boys along with Joe Giudice and Greg (the roommate) were detained/arrested. Apparently, the Manzo boys were defending Teresa after she accidently sprayed some older woman with champagne.
I agree that the bar brawl probably has A LOT to do with the issues between Caroline and Teresa. Unfortunately, Bravo isn’t even acknowledging the incident and EVERYONE appears to have just swept it under the rug. I think details should come out just to clear things up & get facts for us who are left hypothesizing that it was a pivotal moment although it is being ignored!
On the other hand, according to Bravo footage, there were issues between the Manzo children, Greggy, & Caroline and Teresa & Joe before they ever went to Punta Cana (i.e. the kids making fun of Teresa’s book behind her back, Greggy’s direct comments to MeGo, and Caroline’s constant eye rolling) so I don’t think that the Punta Cana incident could be considered the ONLY reason for the hatred, maybe just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Now, another thing that this hypothesis brings up is, if the Manzo children and Greggy were already souring on Teresa and Joe, then why would they jump to Teresa’s “defense” in a bar at all? Why get involved if they don’t like her or if their mother told them not to like her? I can’t help but wonder if they brought the brawl on themselves by being drunk and running their mouths – as typical 20 something drunk guys in a group will do! There is no way that an accidentally spilled drink by Teresa can be blamed for a brawl; there are plenty of ways to diffuse a spilled drink situation in a bar and just as many to fuel the fire too.
Kate, I’ve always wondered about why they would stick up for Teresa too. Their relationships with Teresa were bad prior to Punta Cana. I think they used Teresa (once again) as an excuse to fight.
I know I sound like a broken record on this site (and others) but…I also would like someone to please tell us what terrible things Teresa has done to warrant all this hate directed at her. People call her mean, backstabbing, vicious, they say she lies, she’s even been called scum-but no one can point to one example of something she has done or said to prove it. I think Caroline and Jacqueline were jealous of the attention Teresa received and saw Melissa as their chance to bring Teresa down. They couldn’t wait to believe the negative things Melissa said about Tre because they figured it would finally “show T for who she is” and end her reign as most popular housewife. Well Teresa has continued to be the same person she has always been, and Caroline and Jacqueline have been shown to be the vile people they are. Instead of fighting back by giving stories where she slams those who are slamming her, Teresa has just continued to live her life, realized that Jac and Caro were never her friends, and has probably become MORE popular. Teresa doesn’t put her private business out there because it’s NOBODY’S BUSINESS but her family’s, and that’s how she wants it to stay. I am totally in Teresa’s corner and hope she continues to shine
The reason you’ll never hear the real answer to your question – ” Why do they hate her so much?” is because it would let the cat out of the reality show bag. It’s all about MAKING MONEY and MARKETING YOURSELF -starting new businesses or bolstering existing ones, launching products, endorsing, getting famous enough to get ANOTHER spin-off show = more money. Teresa has done this better than anyone, that’s why they hate her. It’s just pure jealousy. In addition, I think in general weak, miserable people (Caro, Mel, Kathy, Jac) get uncomfortable in presence of strong, positive people (Tree), but you’ll never hear that either. ” We hate Teresa because despite all our herculean efforts, people just don’t want to buy the sh*t we’re selling. Publishing houses, talk show producers and various product representatives keep telling us we’re just not as marketable as Teresa. All we’ve gotten out of this reality show is some bad press and some very temporary Z-list celebrity status. Wow, if I had to what Teresa went through in her personal life, I’d be in an insane asylum. I have a bully mentality and an easily-manipulated psyche that causes me to jump right in with the mob instinctively and try to kill the wounded animal of the group. Damn, I’m really a scumbag and Teresa is a pretty decent person after all. ” See, saying that wouldn’t make them sound too good. We won’t ever hear that, but that’s the truth.
good point.
I remember Jac saying on Twitter that Dina has chose to stay away from the family, and also that she had taped a session with Teresa. Also it was Dina’s birthday the other day and they did a “Meho & Joe” on her, did not tweet her happy birthday. Mayve they privately called her…NOT. She had a party at the Brownstone and NONE of them were there…in the pictures at least.
I totally think Jac was the RT “source”. Anyone remember the very sarcastic tweet Jac sent to Dina on Christmas Eve (then deleted)? Very snarky. Jac was asking Dina if she would be at Caroline’s for xmas eve (or is she too busy saving the world). Seriously…on twitter. Dina handled it very well. Very passive aggressive of Jac. Wanted everyone to know that Dina was the one not playing nice and they were trying soooo hard. Totally evil.
I agree that the tweet Jac sent was sarcastic and snarky (I just saw it today) and if a family member of mine had said that to me you can be damn sure I wouldn’t attend that particular function! I hate when people say things like what Jac said and then act oblivious when the recipient is offended. I can only assume Jac is either fake or dumb.
I am seriously over these people….. I think T needs her own show and the rest should just go away, Jac to rehab and the rest to hell.
There isn’t any amount of money to be made that I would want to associate with anyone I don’t like..I am not buying the fake Dina/Teresa friendship, because real friends do, do those kind of supportive business favors. That is an indication of real friendship, you can always I am not buying this b.s., I believe the basis of this negativity and smear campaign is because Dina’s has a mind of her own and can’t be negatively influenced by her family and I don’t blame her.
I watch these two so called friends, one friend is complacent doesn’t want anything out of life, and you should hear what she tells her upwardly mobile friend whenever she has a great idea, stuff like it won’t work, you don’t want to do that, just negative discouraging b.s. because she hates so see her friend make a few extra dollars or take advantage of a great opportunity, like a real hater.
I just saw Teresa yesterday at the Southern Women’s show. Someone asked her if she was friends with Jac and Caroline. She said no. Then they asked if she was friends with Dina. She said yes; they have been friend’s for fifteen years. That Dina was Audriana’s godmother.
If anyone of you remember the Screen shots from the Mardi vs DS saga, you will see that Danielle was the culprite in sending that rumours into the world about Dina’s charity.
I don’t doubt it for a second that Jacq is a source sometimes too, but this one I think is written with Danielle’s name all over it.
I agree that Danielle could very easily be behind this, but at the same time I wonder if the article could have more than one source. What if both Danielle and Jac are saying this kind of stuff about Dina?
There is no way that Dina was referring to Danielle in her texts about “those ‘close’ to you”; she had to be referring to Jac there. Her and Jac have not been great friends EVER that I can recall. They didn’t seem more than cordial in S1 and S2 and since then I’ve only seen Jac be snarky to Dina on twitter and such. So, it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that Danielle was saying this stuff, again, to stay relevant, but by now she is just a broken record and has said it all before. The only thing new Danielle could bring out would be proof of fraternizing with MeGo before her acceptance by Bravo onto S3 and, until she does that, she’s old news. Jac on the other hand seems to take Dina’s distance from the family AND friendship with Teresa personally and, with her level of crazy getting up there with Danielle’s, I can’t say I’d be surprised to discover that this was all, in fact, straight from her mouth.
Jac and Dina were very close when Jac first moved to NJ before they ever filmed. Has anyone ever seen the “director’s cut” of the dinner from hell? It includes a conversation btw Jac and Caro quietly discussing some sort of disorder that Dina has.
MN, really? That’s interesting, I would like to see that footage. What kind of “disorder” do you think? A learning disorder or a psychological disorder? They are very different. Although I haven’t really seen evidence of either. I would possibly believe she has some sort of anxiety issues and that is why she got off the show and has such a hard time with drama in general.
I’m not sure Katie but I think you’re right. If you ever see it, it’s at the end of the episode.
Off Topic: sorry didn’t know where else to post
Sometimes reading the comments on RH sites and reading the bloggers views on things makes me feel like my family is horrible. I have said things to my brother, cousin, aunts, uncles etc. that most of you would probably call me a bad name for. Yes I have called my brother garbage in front of a group of people and meant it. But when someone is angry they say things that they know will hurt the other person. And sometimes they don’t care. My brother has said very hurtful things to me also in front of other people. But you know what those things were our opinions and we’re allowed to have them, family or not. I read on RT the other day that JL was upset that TG never acknowledges when she is having a problem with someone. Personally that would piss me off also. I don’t care about you being politically correct for the press or trying to be nice. If a friend and I are having a falling out, I wouldn’t want her to lie to somebody else and say we’re fine. That’s a lie…tell the truth, shame the devil! It would just piss me off that she was trying to pretend everything was fine, when I knew it wasn’t. Kind of like pushing my feelings to the side. I just wanted post my thoughts on that, because no one I know watches any of the RH shows and they would laugh dead in my face if I told them I do. So you guys and girls on this blog are the only people who knows Sweetpea likes Bravo…lol. Also would like to say I’m not team anyone. I’m #TEAMENTERTAINMENT
Again sorry for the long post just wanted to see what other people thought.
I wouldn’t take other people’s comments personally as they are not talking about you. But keep in mind people assess situations based on their own experiences. I am a southern girl my best friend is Italian and we have very similar cultures. I was taught that family is first. PERIOD. and they are to be respected. END OF STORY. That doesn’t mean that if you have a different relationship with your family that you are wrong.
For me, calling my family out with people, outside of my family, in a public manner is the epitome of disloyalty and disrespect. I was raised with the notion that we might not get along with everyone in our family, but we will show them love, loyalty, and respect in that order.
If my brother were to call me garbage in front of people I would slap him into the middle of next week and he would know damn well he deserved it. Though it has taken me years to get my temper in check, I wouldn’t insult my family in private, in public, or even on the internet behind a fake name. But as I said all families love, communicate, and fight differently. In a lot of families bringing your family business into the public is absolutely despicable. In others they can have it out and be completely nasty with one another and then apologize. The problem with that kind of apology is that once you put those thoughts and actions out there they can’t be undone. You can’t put toothpaste back into the tube. To quote TG, “You can’t kill somebody, and then apologize.”
I watch housewives because they are entertaining as hell. I interpret the situation between Jac and Tre a little differently. If Tre wants to act like everything in her personal life is fine or at the very least be optimistic enough to believe everything will turn out okay, how the hell does that affect Jac? It doesn’t. I believe Jac was referring to her financial and legal issues. As far as their friendship goes Teresa admits that it’s over. Maybe Jac wants to fight but I’m pretty sure Teresa wants to wash her hands of the situation.
Maybe it’s the way that I was brought up but some “friendships” aren’t worth fighting for. You show me disloyalty, I’ll show you the door…
I didn’t mean that people were attacking my family personally…lol. I meant that the things we do in my family would be looked down on by alot of people. I am also from the south BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA!!!! WOO HOO. Sorry I love my small town. My mother and father also taught us family first before all else. I can say anything I want to my brothers but best believe that if anyone else says something they will get knocked out, and I have done that before. When my brother went off on me, yes he did get beat down and we started fighting. Long story short 3 hrs later we were best friends again with everything forgotten. But I guess that’s just my family. I don’t care what my brother did or said to me that’s still my brother and vice versa. As far as JL and TG’s situation goes….I see your point in saying maybe JL was speaking on her finicial(sp?) situation.
Oh, I gotcha. I guess I thought you were concerned that people would think your family practices aren’t normal to which I was replying there is no such thing
I love South Carolina. I have family there and would love to retire there someday.
I’m proud of you for beating your bro down when he stepped out of line. I think for me once it gets to that point and certain things are said, three hours later I’m still gonna be pissed. To be fair my brother and sister will talk to each other that way, but they are 13 months apart and I am the oldest. I do not get involved when they go at it though, I let them handle their business. They go right back to being besties within minutes. But Lord knows we all can’t be that forgiving.
I also agree about other people speaking about my family. Unless you like picking your teeth up off the floor, I wouldn’t recommend it. That’s kinda why Teresa’s family rubbed me the wrong way right away. Talking about your fam to other people, airing your dirty laundry in front of people who will most certainly judge you. Not just friends and other family members, but all of America. I don’t know. It made me question their character.
But I think that is what they are referring to is when she was going through the trial Jacqueline was annoyed with Tre saying, “everything is fine.” I mean, maybe Jac was hurt because she wanted her to come talk to her about it as a friend or something dumb like that. Or maybe she thought that Teresa didn’t understand the severity of the situation, either way it was Jac (once again) being concerned about something that didn’t involve her.
It is non of your business sweet pea. If someone doesn’t want to share at the time that is their right. In Teresa’s case with Jaq she was wise to keep her mouth shut, Jaq is not a good friend and has a very big mouth.
I think allot of this is going on in the background by people who are trying to get on RHW’s. Dina was the smart one she left, she wasn’t fired. Andy love’s her, but Lexi and her husband were more important than a reality show. Dina has her own show now where her talents can be showcased. I don’t think Jac would do this to her family, regardless of their current situation. I also checked twitter at lunch. The things being said back and forth by the Me or Tre fans is disgusting, and the pictures both have posted are a disgrace. Gia is eleven, Melissa has teenage niece’s that probably see this or told this by their friends. I can see being a fan, having a point a view, but can everyone play nice in the sandbox.
I agree about the MeGo and Tre fans on Twitter; very over the top! I am not on Twitter, so I only look at it occasionally, but when I was looking at the RWH411 person one day and noticed stuff back and forth between that person and Team Teresa, or something like that, I was horrified that either one of them talk in such terrible ways about the other. It’s not going to help anyone.
PandaBear asked: What did Teresa do to the Laurita/Manzo’s for them to go so crazy on her?
An e-mail from an insider, originally posted on September 17, 2011, (and re-posted recently) explained:
“In Season 4, you will see Don C and Jac turning on Tre. Jac is puppeted by Don C.
“Don C is mad that Tre is very close with Dina. Although Tre was always the closest with Dina, and made friends with her first, Don C is beyond big headed. Don C and Dina got into it (like they usually do) but this time Don went too far and they have not spoken for quite some time.
“Don C turned on Tre because she is pissed at Dina and taking it out on Tre. She is angry that Tre does not jump when she speaks ala Jac. Don expects everyone to listen to her, and when they don’t, all hell breaks loose. This is why she likes Missy, who only kisses Don’s ass to spite Tre.
“The fight [the one which led Tre to seek Dina's advice and which is captured on film in season 4] takes place, conveniently and scheduled, right before Melissa’s single release party.
“On camera, Don C and Jac try to cover up the issue and act as thought they are mad at Tre for something else, but the real issue is the aforementioned.
“What infuriated Don even more, and helped lead to the blowout quicker, was the fact that Tre listened to what Danielle had to say regarding Melissa contacting her. Tre was already aware of Missy reaching out to Danielle, but was in denial until the WWHL Twitter War. Don C honestly did not want to go through sticking up for Tre because that means she would simultaneously be confirming that Danielle was correct.”

I just wish Danielle would for once in her life, do the right thing, and tell the truth about Melissa & her communication.
I don’t know why she is holding out – maybe it’s her hatred of Teresa from when she was on RHONJ, maybe she is the type that just doesn’t believe in doing the right thing.. I don’t know, but I wish for once in her life, now that she has the opportunity she would do what is right and tell people the truth about what her & Melissa said to each other. I would totally think Danielle was brave if she did that
I wish Bravo would release the unedited tapes from season 2′s reunion, because the insider says Danielle used Melissa’s name verbatim:
“There was so much of what is now relevant information edited out of the reunion last year [season 2] because, at the time, it was irrelevant. Danielle used Melissa’s name verbatim, and among many other things, discussed Tre “not speaking or associating with her own family” and being a horrible aunt. When Teresa was arguing with Danielle, which was edited down, she CLEARLY told Danielle Staub to not “break up” her family – not “bring up” her family as she tried to assure us.”

So in a nutshell these women are crazy and need lives so they allow jealousy to make them act like raving lunatics. Based on their actions, that seems disturbingly accurate.
Thanks for the link
.
Sounds about right. Don Caro expects those closest her to live in a permanent D/s relationship with her, (She’s the DOMINANT part of the relationship) and if they’re unwilling to, she makes sure they pay.
Jacs is a crazy wino. Agreed, her husband should take away her computer and phone.
Jac appears to be crazy and unbalanced. I believe she’s behind the story.
Dina is the real deal and she is involved in Project Ladybug; example; last season of Dancing with the Stars Dina was rooting for Elizabetta Caneles why because Elizabetta charity was for Julien; Julien is a little boy involved with Dina and Project Ladybug who passed away. Now miss Caroline was sitting on Twitter critiquing (this is what she does best becasue she thinks she is the latest and best thing since sliced bread) DON C (CAROLINE MANZO) said Elizabetta stinks and isn’t going to make it through the first round. Reality Tea should really do reasearch; Dina And T were friends first a long time ago. Dina is the real deal; Jac is crazy and Caroline is a Famewhore. That is what it is really all about.
Of all the ladies on the show I liked Dina the best. Whatever issues Caroline and Dina are having, it’s between them and has nothing to do with Teresa. But in true Caroline manner, she can’t own up to it and has to blame Teresa because in Caroline’s head, Teresa is the always the source of ALL her problems. Caroline has no problem making fun of Teresa and laughing at her kids making fun of Teresa, but when Teresa makes a “joke” back, the red-headed clown can’t take it and starts aiming below the belt.
I think the fact that Dina is still talking to Teresa and not Caroline speaks volumes of the person Caroline is. If Teresa was the problem (like Caroline wants everyone to believe) and Dina is still siding with her, then what does that say about Caroline?
Agreed.
I don’t believe any of this about Dina. We have seen behaviors such as this in Caroline and Jacqueline. The source is most likely one of them or their family. Teresa is on Celebrity Apprentice and has much success outside of RHONJ. Dina has her own show on HGTV. There is jealousy there.
I am soooo late for this comment and nobody is probably going to even read it. lol
Before Real Housewives of NJ was ever a television program, Dina received an award for her Project LadyBug Foundation. I forget what exactly the reward was but it was a recognition for Dina’s work there. I will look for that ceremony and add a link.
