If Lauren Doesn’t Like Her Brother’s Girlfriend, It Ain’t Happening! Manzo’s Talk Love Life!

August 3, 2012 | By | 125 Replies Continue Reading


Chris and Albie recently filled out Bravo’s dating questionnaire and talk there love life, mistakes, who there celebrity crushes are and Albie even reveals if his relationship with Lindsey is still going on! Chris also says that if Lauren doesn’t like his girlfriend, it ain’t happening!

Chris Manzo:

Single or taken?
Chris: Single (AllAboutTRH side note: I don’t know if I’m surprised)

Describe your love life in just three words.
Not. right. now.

What’s the longest relationship you’ve had?
8 months

Who’s your celebrity crush?
Anne Hathaway for 2 more years, then Demi Lovato.

You have a great sense of humor. Do you prefer a girl who can keep up with you or one who lets you have the jokester spotlight?
I like someone who is a bit sarcastic, but not someone as obnoxious as me, an intelligent sense of humor.

When is it OK to lie to a girl?
In the beginning of talking, every guy does that. “Wow, here I am thinking I’m the only one who is so broken up over the endangerment of the North Carolina Flying Squirrel.” Sharing common interests is important, even if it’s slightly fabricated.

How long do you wait before promoting a girl friend to girlfriend?
A few weeks/months, depends on how things go out of the gate. Every case is different.

If Lauren doesn’t like your girl – or she can’t cook! –  are those automatic deal breakers?
I can cook, and enjoy cooking, so that’s no big deal. If Lauren doesn’t like her, not happenin’.

Albie Manzo

Single or taken?
These days my dating life has taken a backseat to blk. We are all working really hard and are focused on building a great business. I know that a lot of people don’t understand that, but it’s what I feel is best for me right now. So there.

Describe your love life in just three words.
Bg ol’ mess.

What’s the longest relationship you’ve had?
Four years. She’s actually getting engaged, so weird! We have a great friendship and I couldn’t be more happy for her. Her fiancé is getting a great girl and I’m sure they’ll be really happy. I wish them all the best.

Who’s your celebrity crush?
Pia Toscano

What should a girl do (and not do!) to win over your family?
Winning over my family is definitely not as difficult as it may seem. If I’m happy, that’s all they really care about. The worst thing someone can do is over-think that stuff. Although I listen to what everyone has to say, I don’t let anyone’s opinion affect how I feel about someone.

What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done on a date?
Film it.

What three things make a girl wifey material?
Loyalty, sense of humor, random text messages. (Weird, I know, but for whatever reason that’s big with me.)

You spot a cute girl at a bar or restaurant. What’s your go-to move?
I’m not really a “move” guy. I like to just go over and say hello. If a girl is into you, things will go from there. If not, they usually have no problem making you feel like a complete idiot.

So the big question of the day: Would you date a Manzo?

    And the Mafia family of the Manzos…the Beef people have spoken!!!!

    • Isabella Patricia says:

      Hell no! I would never date a Manzo! Albie won’t be with the girl if Lauren doesn’t like her? Haha! That’s funny because Lauren doesn’t like anyone! Literally… She’s always so bitter. Even AFTER the lap band! Lol.

      • kelli says:

        Chris said he wouldn’t date someone Lauren didn’t like, not ,albie

      • Lori-Anne says:

        I could say it any better then that, Thank You!! I really Thought it was me and now I’m not alone. Thanks again for putting it right out the way in looks and the way you hear it….

      • TracyVeste says:

        I don’t understand these guys they won’t date a girl if L Doesn’t like them …… but its ok for L to date Albies best friend even though albie wasn’t happy about it ….these guys are stupid and will spend the rest of their lives living with mummy dearest lol

        • pinkie says:

          and its okay for Lauren to call judgement on who her brothers date/or whatever.

          But she and the other Manzo monsters say that Tre has no right to interfere with who her brother married.

  2. michers says:

    HECKKK NO. If sludge water is more important than living your life, good luck to ya! Then throw in that family.. forgetta about it.

  3. holy cannoli says:

    Answer= HELL TO THE NO!!!

  4. Stacey says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREEEEAAAAAAAKKKKKKIIIIIINNN WAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! That would be a complete life of torture from the all mighty, judgemental Chuckie!!!

    • mariec says:

      chuckie needs to get online and become a legit ordained minister. every time she speaks, it’s a sermon. we’re not worthy :) LMFAO

    • Lori-Anne says:

      Right !!!!!! I so AGREE !

    • Rosalie Marie, says:

      Stacey, If you watched last week’s episode, Lauren hinted to Vito (I think that’s his name)that she wants an engagement ring.
      He gave her an odd look. Did you catch that?

      I think he’s afraid to marry her because not only is she immature, but he’ll get stuck with her entire family.

  5. Save the Sprinkle Cookies says:

    So Lauren and Caroline wonder why Teresa is so protective of her brother when it comes to other women, but if Lauren doesn’t like Chris or Albie’s girlfriends they must break up ?
    Sounds pretty hypocritical to me…

    • Jennifer says:

      It is sort of Pot Calling The Kettle Black…

    • jen says:

      yeah I know because if Lauren or caroline heard rumors of some girl cheating on chris or Albie like they wouldn’t say anything.

      • Michele says:

        you guys keep catching the double standards. maybe samantha can explain why it’s not the same.

        • Jennifer says:

          It is all over the place, but our resident perverted troll Samantha doesn’t understand symbolism.

          Lauren would not only tell Chris or Albie that his girlfriend or wife might cheat if their respective wives went down the Melissa path, but also she would put out a hit on said wife.

        • Hailiesmama says:

          lmao @Michele

    • jerseygirl says:

      Holy crapper, I hadn’t thought of that.
      Well then Caroline and Lauren should be T’s biggest champions when it comes to Melissa.

      The never ending hypocricy.

    • NYDeb123 says:

      Cause it is. What are the Manzo’s problem???? They are one sick bunch, one wouldn’t date a girl is Lauren didn’t like her WTF is wrong with this picture? They are all nuts!

    • hoolie says:

      DING DING DING DING DING…….Grand prize winner comment here!

      And the Grand Prize Supreme title of Hypocrisy goes to…..

      Manzo Familia

    • DEB says:

      You hit the nail on the head!! WHAT HYPOCRITES!!

    • Rosalie Marie, says:

      Save the cookies,
      What the hell is up with that? I mean, is Chris sleeping with his sister? lol

      • CravingChange says:

        @Rosalie
        That’s exactly what I thought when I read Chris’ comment. I think Chris must have serious issues!
        I get that a girlfriend should try to get along with Lauren, but Lauren is so moody – why should a girl get dumped for that?

        At least Albie seems like he is his own man!

        I wouldn’t either of them though, who wants Don Caro and Lauren around all the time?

      • Save the Sprinkle Cookies says:

        Is Chris the one that took Lauren to prom?

    • Lori-Anne says:

      THAT’S WHAT I WAS SAYING ! I CAN’T STAND THEM TWO, NO WAIT LET ME SAY IT THIS WAY, I CAN’T STAND ANYONE OF THEM RIGHT TO JACQUELINE, CUZ THAT BITCH DOSENT KNOW IF SHE IS COMING OR GOING AT ALL WHEN IT COMES TO TERESA AND HER FAMILY, SAME WITH THAT BULL DOG CAROLINE …….. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

    • Hailiesmama says:

      That is what I’ve been saying!

  6. jen says:

    It’s funny that these 2 fools were asked dating questions when they can’t seem to get their heads out of MAMA MANZO’s a**. here is a little bit of advice for them, THERE ISN”T A GIRL ON THIS EARTH THAT WOULD PUT UP WITH YOUR MOTHER!!!!!

    • Susan says:

      I agree!!

    • NonnaGabi says:

      That about sums it up!

    • Someone Who is Watching says:

      No Kidding!

    • Kristina says:

      Did you see them on The Millionaire Matchmaker? Even Patti said Caroline needed to let the boys live their own lives and not control them!!!

    • Rosalie Marie, says:

      Jen, the only women these two will ever… wait, okay let me start over…..

      Albie will never meet a confident, educated, independent woman, because no woman like that will tolerate a dependent, uneducated momma’s boy. That’s a real fact.
      The woman who will have a relationship with him will be uneducated, insecure and juggle from one job to another.

      Chris? No doubt he’s gay but I still tend to believe that Albie is also.

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        I think unless the girl is a total DOORMAT and demonstrates a sufficiently submissive attitude and posture toward Caroline and Lauren, they won’t get anywhere the altar.

    • Lori-Anne says:

      YES! YES! I SO A AGREE WITH YA ALLLLL THE WAY!!!

  7. Shelby123 says:

    LOL They would dump a girl because their sister doesnt like her? Seriously if Lauren were a normal girl in every sense of the word, they wouldnt even think like that! I would never ever tell my brother nor expect him to break up with a girlfriend because I dont like her. We were raised that no matter who our siblings choose as partners/gfs/wives that we respect that choice regardless of how we feel. Its called being respectful of our siblings feelings and minding our own business. UGH! This Manzo family is all sorts of fucked up. These kids will never have a shot at a decent life that they created for themselves between their bitter bitchy sister and even bigger bitter bitchy mother these two dont stand a chance!!

    • Robin says:

      …all sorts of fucked up
      says it all!

    • BCJen says:

      Chris’s answers to the questions are definitely so wrong. It’s ok to lie in the beginning of a relationship?????? What an asshole. And Albie spewed that BS of having to put blk first….that’s Mama Manzo controlling him right there.

    • Rosalie Marie, says:

      Shelby, It’s easy to see that something is very odd about that family. They are too close and too dependent.

      • JanieG says:

        And yet, I am sure they are sitting around their kitchen, after a session of fun ham-throwing, kevetching how they can’t understand how all of US can’t see what an awesome, close, happy, fun-loving family they are. They haven’t got a clue how dominated they all are by Caroline. Absentee father and dominating mother.

    • Lori-Anne says:

      I SO LOVE YA ! LOL THAT’S THE BEST ANSWER YET !!! THANK GOD I HAVE SOMEONE ON THE SAME “PAGE” AS I’M ON ! YOU MY FRIEND ARE THE BEST BY FAR!!!!!

  8. Penn boy says:

    WOW!thats all i have to say about this..Not normal people at all.

  9. Jenny says:

    I can be wrong, but it doesn’t appear to me that there is much work going on when it comes to the blk business. Other than the promotional appearances they all seem to have a lot of time on their hands. I can’t see where guys in their mid-twenties wouldn’t want to explore more of the dating scene and be more open to relationships because of the business. Especially if the right girl came around. Albie asked Lindsey to stay at his apartment in the last episode. I think it’s just more proof that the producers ask them to do and say all of these things for fluff. And, Christopher, I think his problem is no girl can stand him for more than one or two hookups. He’s not very cute anymore and his M.O. is tiring.

    • CeeGee says:

      And Cristopher’s ears are hideous! Seriously repulsive! I’m afraid of them and literally clench myself up whenever he is shown.

      • PsychGrlee says:

        And his teeth! Teeth are important. Hygiene is important. It is one of the first things I notice about a man… does he have clean teeth? They don’t have to be perfect, or braces straight… but clean? YES! Dirty mouths are disgusting… gag.

      • Shipp says:

        I KNOW……those ears. Definately frightening.

        Would I date a Manzo? When pigs fly. By the way don’t think Chris M. is into girls anyway. Does anyone ever wonder where Greggy sleeps in that 2 bedroom apt.?

    • BCJen says:

      Is it me….or do most men juggle careers and relationships?

      • Save the Sprinkle Cookies says:

        Most MEN do, but Albie and Chris aren’t men, they’re two little boys who are afraid of their mommy.

    • Lori-Anne says:

      AGREED ! THEY ARE SO CRAZY, BUT TAKE IT WERE IT COME’S FROM, AND LOOK AT JAC’S HUBBY CHRISS OOOOPS did I just say that ? Shit, I really thought his name was that cuz of the way he sat around the TALBE TELL THE GUYS it this and that when they all went away in the RV’s. I really think that he is a house wife. And that BLK , Ya ok. I would never drink that. YUCK!!!

  10. southernbell317 says:

    NO, I wouldn’t date one of them for a couple of different reasons.. 1st, no desire to share my life on national TV and 2nd that family… not sure I could handle Caroline or Lauren

  11. Annie says:

    Lauren is probably just jealous of all the girls Chris and Albie brought home because more than likely they were prettier and slimmer than her.

    • michers says:

      Well thats a given, lol

    • PsychGrlee says:

      And, it didn’t help that they all pointed out how much slimmer they were than Lauren. I never understood why they didn’t think Lauren was pretty. I honestly think she is adorable, a very pretty girl… heavy or not. In fact, I think she is better looking than either of her brothers and had a wtf moment when she said, “I have these two gorgeous brothers and then there’s me, the fat sister, and people think what happened to her?”. I NEVER thought that! Albie has no eyebrows, and it makes his face look weird. And Chris, just no. But Lauren, I always thought she was very pretty.

      • Say What?? says:

        I will agree Lauren is better looking on teh outside. But on the inside she is the ugliest.

        Also, she said that about her brothers because thats what Caroline has beat into her brain all her life. Brain washed!

    • Lori-Anne says:

      YUP!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT, THAT’S HOW THAT ARE! ALL OF THEM…..LOL

  12. Lily says:

    I’d date Albie. He’s different from the bunch. Chris is just unattractive in every way possible look at the photo

  13. Save the Sprinkle Cookies says:

    This is a bit unrelated, but does anyone remember back in season 1 and they showed the Manzo’s working out together and they all bragged about how strong Lauren is and how dedicated she is to working out? Well what the hell happened in between than and now.

  14. reddvette says:

    Ugh, why do they listen to Lauren? She is entirely to bitter to be so young. Why is she so mean? Second, Chris is dating Greggy, it is a mute point with him on the type woman he would date. Just saying.

  15. Stacey says:

    Like I’ve said before, Chris looks just like he stepped out of the movie Deliverance.

  16. Jack7777 says:

    Why can’t Cow wear a bra for her dropping udders.

    No one said they were dating women.

    Serious sexual dysfunction in the Manzos family.

    Father Missing

    Mother plays role of a mean man

    Sister is just plain mean

    Sons are infantile still attached to the udderly delightful Cow.

  17. Sofia says:

    Rox,
    Is this a trick question??

  18. Sofia says:

    Albie doesnt look like his mother or father or ANYONE in the Manzo family!
    They (Manzos) all look alike..NOT him!

    Where is Caroline Manzo…we need explanation!!

    • Say What?? says:

      I think Albie looks exactly like a younger Chris laurita.

      • Sofia says:

        Really Say??
        I don’t see Laurita or Manzo in him..

        • Say What?? says:

          Im surprised no one else sees it. Maybe i need glasses lol I wish we could see some photos of chris laurita when he was albies age. Or when he was a lot thinner. I bet they would look exactly the same.

          • holy cannoli says:

            I think Albie looks exactly like the Laurita side, I see no Manzo in him at all.

            The other 2 ( Christopher and Lauren) look like their father.

          • Skeeter says:

            They both have a friggin box head!

        • JoJoLaMa says:

          I don’t see Laurita in him at all, but I do see a little of Big Al Manzo. Either way, he’s definitely the Marilyn Munster of that clan.

  19. Olivia says:

    I just get the feeling that if you marry a Manzo, you better understand that you will always be second. Like if you marry Albie, his mom and and sister will always be his real wives and call the shots. Caroline said girls want to be first. I think what she really wanted to say is that with her sons, she will always be first. If Jac could be honest, I think she’d agree that’s where the tension was with her and Caro at one time. I can’t see the Manzo boys ever saying “Look. I’m a grown man. Yes I’m in the family business, but my wife and kids come first.” Think there are some boundary issues with them.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      Yeah, boundary issues abound in that family! Seriously. And I agree, neither one of them will ever stand up to their mother and eventually, it will make for a seriously miserable marriage.

  20. DebV says:

    Who would really want to date these underachievers?

  21. Say What?? says:

    LOL who gives a damn what these out of work mamma boys are looking for.. They should be begging girls to date them!

  22. BelleD says:

    They are so disgusting! There isn’t enough money in the entire world that could bribe me into dating either one of these arrogant illiterate slugs. *shudder*

  23. Penn boy says:

    I feel for albie because i think he is more serious and more in need of a relationship…My advice to him is,leave behind your mom..She is too controlling…As for christopher,Seriously is in need of better social skills.He wouldnt be so ugly if his attitude wasnt so sour…But it is and in the long run,he will pay for his laziness and mean personality..But if he changed for the better,good for him..For a start dude,please get your teeth checkout! seriously..can’t imagine what your breath would smell like if you spoke to me.

    • holy cannoli says:

      OMG Penn Boy I so agree!

      Christophers’s teeth are awful,besides needing whitened, they seriously are jacked up! Caroline’s are too, that over bite, ugh, and she needs her’s whitnened also. Lauren and Albie are ok.

      I agree Christopher has zero social skills, very immature. All the Manzo kids are rude, and think their shit doesn’t stink, they take after their parents!!

      • John7777 says:

        Making NJ mobsters look bad.

        Even Tony Soprano’s wife had good teeth and clothing.

        These pigs look like crap.

        Why doesn’t Bravo dress these Bozos?

        Cow’s son’s are busting their buttons in old clothes.

        The Manzos are just plain weird!

  24. Anonymousey says:

    Simply put, the Manzo’s suck and Christopher is just plain fugly.

  25. Maddie says:

    They would dump a girl if Lauren didn’t like her, but they find it appalling for Teresa to ever express her opinions or raise suspicions of Melissa to HER brother?

    K.

  26. Daisy says:

    I wish someone would put a lap band around Lauren’s big fat mouth and shut it once and for all.

  27. Rosalie Marie, says:

    Where is Caroline Manzo? Caroline, this is your fambily we’re talking about here. We want your comment. :)

  28. Rebecca says:

    i’m confused why its even relevant who or if these two date? None of the other sons on a RH series gets this much attention for it. I get that Albie is dating on the show, so its relevant because Caroline uses her kids this season for storylines (Laurens weight and now Albie’s gf), but Chris is 21/22, he’s young and would still be in college or just finishing if he went, he shouldn’t be expected to be getting married anytime soon. He’s allowed to be immature still (he’s barely of legal age), he doesnt need to settle down. And as far as other sons of housewifes, Ryan (Tamra’s son) barely get air time (and notice how Tamra doesn’t need him for her story lines, Caroline should take notes or Bravo should fire her), Lisa’s son was barely featured, and i’m sure there’s others, i’m just too tired to think. And if these two (Albie and Chris) were so interesting then why didn’t Bravo give them that spinoff? Clearly they lead pretty boring lives because Bravo gave them 5 minutes a week on their website, I think the fact that they are good looking gives them more attention than they deserve, they’re pretty normal guys who happened to be filmed, nothing spectacular going on with them deserving of all these dating interviews (and this isn’t the only one, plus on top of the show emphasizing it, and being set up on millionaire matchmaker, etc). They’re cute, they’re mom is mean now, lets move on.

    • reddvette says:

      The Manzo boys are given so much air time because the producers were or are Manzo friends. Bravo has done everything to make the Manzo family fan favorites. Maybe they should stop pushing so hard. We are fans not mindless drones.

      • Rebecca says:

        They are also needed to be aired because Caroline alone would just come off as bitter and mean. Think about it, most of the women of this show only show their kids minimally, if that. (Adrienne doesn’t, Camille doesn’t, Luann barely does, Ramona doesn’t, Aviva rarely, the 2 Heathers – NYC and BH, rarely), yet Caroline, and the rest of the NJ cast, almost focus on their kids. Now granted, I think Melissa, Kathy and Teresa would continue with storylines regardless of their kids being present, but Caroline NEEDS her children because she literally has no purpose anymore. She “hates” Teresa because of jealousy, and is bitter and mean so she really serves no purpose anymore

  29. Rebecca Lynn says:

    I actually used to be so infatuated by Albie starting in season 1. I couldn’t wait for him to get air time and I thought he was so cute and had a great smile. Ever since this season started and I see how Caroline and him act I lost my crush I had for him. I have no interest in him now. He is too needy and can’t make up his own mind.

    • Say What?? says:

      See, I dont trust BRAVO. There is no denying that joe guidice said the things he has said.. But i dont believe the manzo boys, chris laurita, or joe giudice has changed as much as beavo has decided to change how they portray them.

      Take season 1, Joe Giudice was shown as a loving, caring attentive husband and father. Since the gay slur he has been shown as nothing but negative.

      The Manzos were shown in a good light s1&2 then they became to cocky, started demanding things like.. who would be hired and fired.. the boys spin off etc.. BRAVO completly controls how we view these people. They can make AND break you.
      The manzos are being taken down by bravo. IMO

  30. JoJoLaMa says:

    I DO think Lauren is jealous and bitter and controlling when it comes to her brothers’ relationships. However, I think they might be pushing this line ” It’s LAUREN you have to get through NOT our mother! ” so hard to give Caroline some cover. After all, ppl have been saying for years now that we all believe she’s a controlling harpy who’s probably mean to the girls they date. One thing Albie, Chris and Lauren all have in common is they KNOW they MUST protect Mommy at all costs.

    I’m too tired to type it now, but I can think of examples where Caroline said pretty nasty things about the girls Albie dates.

  31. MsMaria says:

    I think albie is close to my age. Would i date him? Nah. Heres why- his mom n sis are bitchy and two faced. I dont think albie can make final decisions for himself, his family does it for him. And his familuly will control his life forever. Lauren is a hater, regardless if she lost weight or not. Lauren looks like a meaty meatball with two eyes in it. If people think melissa is a bitch, woah, wait til lauren gets a sis in law. And i would kick the bitches ass if she tried getting in my face, i dont care. I dont play like that. I like strong, independent men that work hard but play hard too. Hes still sucking on her jugs and im not gonna pull him off. I always say i will never stand between a man and his work, but if you like a girl, make time for her! I dont see blk lasting long he needs to get into something else..like how about trying to get back into law school? Regardless i dont like lauren and she would probably be jealous of my beauty lol. I’m not trying to sound cocky but i think shes jealous she doesnt look so good in the looks deparment and she doesnt want another female in the family to take away her spotlight.

  32. CravingChange says:

    @MsMaria

    Lauren would not give up the “spotlight” or feelings of control…can you image having to hangout with her everyday? I think the boys are layed-back, and let Lauren make up their minds for them. Lauren wants to be included in everything, you would never be alone to have a romantic date, or do anything adults do. Lauren has probably named Chris and Albie’s future children.
    #pass

    • MsMaria says:

      Lol exactly! She would probably drive us to divorce! Shes just jealous nasty creature. And they were making fun of lindsey? Yes shes a chearleader but she actually WENT to college to go to pro chearleading for a pro league. What has lauren done? Oh yeah started a business from mom and dads money named cowface which probably wont do good since shes probably gonna be a bitch to her good looking clients. Miss “im fat cause of my dad” what a poor excuse to get a lapband. Eat likr shit all your life and gain weight and then not get off your lazy ass to work out?? Diet works hand in hand with excercise bitch! I cannot stand these damn people anymore!

  33. PerfectNightmare says:

    After looking at the posts on here the last few weeks, I almost think that Teresa and a couple of her friends run rampant here. Comparing to other sites, there are more Tre supporters than anywhere else. Hmmmm

    • Rosalie Marie, says:

      Comparing to other sites, there are more Tre supporters than anywhere else. Hmmmm
      ———————————–

      Yes, so many sites, so many that hate Teresa and you’re knocking this one? This One Site!

      Move On

    • Save the Sprinkle Cookies says:

      Well then you obviously don’t visit famewhorgas or the chirpingtwit cuz most of them are Tre fans too.

  34. Shoshanna says:

    Psychgrlee, I have to ask, are u a therapist/in the psych field? I actually am so was curious if there was a like minded poster. So easy (and sshh… fun) to Dx some of these housewives!

  35. Penn boy says:

    They all sound alike…I would rather speak to albie than anyother manzo…Deep down in albie there is a bright spot that is blocked by his very own twisted dark humorless coldblooded bad teeth bad breath short loveless tacky crazy jacked up bad hairdo weird youngest sibling racist backstabbing mobbish weak MANZO FAMILY! WOOoOOo did i miss anything?
