Sneak Peek: Dina Manzo Attends Teresa’s Launch Party And Jacqueline Questions Why She’d Do That!
In this sneak peek footage from next week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, former RHONJ star Dina Manzo attends BFF Teresa Giudices launch party and Jacqueline Laurita questions why Dina would go to Teresa’s party! Check it out after the jump!
I think the reason Dina decided to go to Teresa’s launch party is because Teresa supports Dina in every business move she has made. Teresa constantly tweets to her 500,000 plus followers about Dina’s show and to watch it while the Laurita’s/Manzo’s have NEVER even mentioned Dina’s show or congratulated her about it on their twitter accounts! Do you think Dina shouldn’t have showed up to Teresa’s launch party?

Instead of asking Dina why she supported Teresa, perhaps a better question is, why not? Jacqueline is upset because Dina isn’t buying what the Manzo’s and laurita’s are selling.
I think Dina is handling it perfectly. She’s made it clear to Teresa that as long as she does nothing to hurt her sister, and by that I mean something REAL, she will continue to be her friend.
I’m sure Dina understands what her sisters MO is. She’s staying true to herself and I admire that.
I agree. Lifeis good!
Agree!!
I agree!
Jac says of Teresa & Dina “at a time when it was the most heightened drama between Teresa & Caroline they have gotten closer, it’s like really, why?” This is a perfect example of their hypocrisy because at a time when it was the most heightened drama between Teresa & Melissa, Jac & Caroline have gotten closer with Melissa. They have zero ability to apply anything they say to their own lives. PATHETIC!
Perfect point.
So true Erin they are such hypocrites!
As I said before, something really bad must have happened between Dina and Caroline and Jax for them not to guest on her show or for her to show up on the RHONJ except for Teresa. Remember last reunion Teresa said that Caroline back stabbed her sister thats why Dina is so mad at her.
i think it had something to do with her bro wedding, dina was going to highlight on her show and car came in and recommended bravo handle it, she screwed dina, just like she screws everyone else for her own benefit,Caroline Manzo is a miserable person
Dina is her bf why shouldn’t she support her wine. Teresa always supported Dina’s show. That’s what bf’s do.
That’s right!!
Ditto….
What ‘nephew’s launch party’ did Dina miss according to Jax? Is this one of those Black Water things?
There is so much hypocrisy here, Caro & Jax can be friendly with Teresa’s relatives but not vice versa?! Pahleeze.
yes, I’am sure she was talking about chris and albie manzo’s blk launch party.
i bet they didn’t even invite her. maybe thats why she didn’t show up.
your probably right about that one.
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but the launch party that was shown at the end of S3 was actually filmed the night after the deck ambush of Teresa. Teresa launch party was filmed several weeks later. Dina wanted to support Teresa but originally did not want to be filmed. Not becasue of the Teresa/Caro situation. She just didn’t want all the drama in her life again with RHONJ. She was working earlier and stopped by with her assistants.
I also heard that the scene with the Manzo’s sitting around reading the cookbook was filmed just a few weeks before the deck ambush. So what was the reason for all the hate by them all during season 3?
One more interesting tidbit, the reason Dina doens’t talk to Jac is they had a fight which could have been smoothed over but Jac ran to a blogger and started the whole Project Ladybug crap just as Dina was trying to get the foundation up and running.
Jac has told all of us that she can be mean and vicious when mad and she sure has proved it with her treatment of Dina and Teresa
what did jac start about Dinas ladybug projet, i missed that one.
That is wasn’t legit. It cause a huge storm in the blogs right after Dina left the show. Google it so you can get the full story of if Lynn Hudson’s blog is still up she had a link right at the top.
It looks like Lynn Hudson died of a heart attack. So sad
thanks i will look it up
Yes she did die of a heart attack on her 49th bday. I heard about it august 17th and believe it happened the day before. SO SAD! She had young boy/boys.
(
Yup. Her words out of her own mouth. When I feel or get hurt (something like that), I get NASTY. I think shes a wack job.
good question. The way bravo edit’s everything it is hard to piece together exactly what was filmed or when it was filmed. I would love to know more about this kinda thing from behind the scenes.
Yea she essentially said that Dina use Ladybug as her own wallet and such, that is bad for someone saying it’s a charity.
which is quite bold of her for saying that, since she (jac) has been accused of cashing checks for no show jobs against her husbands business,,, which is in essence using corporate funds illegally,, as if it was her own piggy bank. Nutsy hypocrite, drunk biotch.
If this is true-it’s HORRIBLE. Jac Daniels needs to grow up and take care of her family!!
Jac Daniels. LOLOL
same reason caroline made everyone hate on Danielle, cause she is not the center of the show. She needs to control everything, Tre is going great with books and wine, caroline and her puppies are sinking with the BLK water crap, so she needs to get rid of whoever is standing in her way
speaking about their bkl deal. I think this was a real bad investment, can’t believe they would slam all this money into a product such as black water. What is really funny,if u watch several scenes (expecially their napa trip) they r drinking regular “white water”. Shoulen’t they be promoting their own product?
Your so right and that’s probably the only reason Caroclown wants a relationship with Mehor and Krazy Kat is to get back at Tre for staying friends with Dina
That is the only reason, she has known the Wakiles for 20 yrs and the gorga for As long as married. Chuckie never befriended them until she hated Teresa.
Dina is a real friend. Those jealous bitch monsters don’t understand real friendship because they are so effing jealous and nuts they can’t see straight. Dina and Teresa will be the only people on the next episode with love, joy and happiness in their hearts. Here’s to true friendship!
Haha bitch monsters. I love it!!!!
Yes-great name!
Dina tried to avoid being filmed so she said in her trutj blogm. Interesting how she shows up with luke and danille her two assistants.
I remember reading that, but utilmately, she did agree to be filmed. She would have had to sign a release. I thought she clearly explained herself.
Why is it intereting that her assistants came with her? I think you are reaching.
yeah, What does her assistants showing up have to do with anything? just curious
Ignore this Lori/lori person. She unsuccessfully drops bombs then runs and hides with her tail between her legs. She does this all the time on the SH site. Must be one of the uneducated and in the minority Manzoid/Laurita fans.
Yep anna cin
She is lolag on reality tea, and Lori on SH.. she has been lolag on here bu she must not want to us that name on here anymore, lol.
So she is really Lolag?? I have always thought that she and frankswifey are also the same person. Maybe not-but that’s the feeling I always get. I wonder?????
And her assistants are very close friends of hers, like FAMILY. Some people still know what that means!
Michers, that is a novel concept for some of he ladies, “real friend” maybe that is Jac struggles with “why” never being a real friend herself she just would not understand.
True Fiery.. I think I said that before also. I do not think Jac knows how to really be a friend. And I am also finding it a common theme on the Housewives shows that many of them do not know what a friend really is, or how to keep them.
her showing up, anyway u want to look at it, definitely hads fuel to the fire. Huh?
oops adds
Another way of looking at it would be that Dina decided that she would do what she felt was right, regardless of the drama surrounding it.
Perhaps she decided that she wanted to continue her friendship with teresa, and not allow her sister/sister-in-laws drama to dictate who her friends are.
Thats how I see it, Lifeis Good.
I feel that way about it also. Dina has nothing to lose or hide either.
Dina went because she is a friend, and the Godmother of Adrianna, as one should do AND also because of what LifeisGood says!
Exactly, and that is what she PUBLICLY stated in her own blog. And, Teresa and Dina have been friends for OVER 20 years, so why is Jac (who starts B.S. with everyone) getting yet again involved. Craziness. A friend is a friend, and just because Caroline hates Teresa, it doesn’t mean Dina has to.
Dina told Caroline before she left rhnj that she was an adult, who could and would choice her own friends. This is reason why they are having problems Dina refuses to be ruled by Caroline.
How? The only “fire” is in Psych Jac and Caroline’s heads. I wouldn’t bother tiptoeing around trying to figure out how to prevent them from turning nothing into something, it’s pointless. Just do your thing and let them embarrass themselves by shrieking about mean toasts and vicious event attendance and evil spicy corn or whatever the hell they’re trying to create drama about that day.
Why is that interesting?
Yes she did adress this in her blog..Whats your point?
If you followed Dina on twitter she does alot of things with her assistants! Maybe she wanted to get some inspirations for designs? You really are grasping!
I don’t find it odd at all that Dina would come with assistants. Why should she come alone? She knows there is usally a gang up with the 4 Jackholes and she could possibly be a target, which she was and is trying to avoid.
Dina is such a smart classy lady, I fail to understand how she can cont. to support such trashy CROOKS. I know that Dina is Godmother to their last daughter but geeze! I am sure there is more to this story. I do know one thing for sure, I would not want Don Caro for an older sister. I bet those two have had some real battles! I still think it is hysterical that Jacq punched her in the face at one point! I so wonder what it was over!
I heard it had something to do with caroline stating Jaq. was a bad mother for leaving her son with his father. Meaning, She had an errand or something and left cj with his dad for a couple of hours, guess he was just a new born at the time. Sounds about right, if she told me i was a bad mother, i would punch her in the face too.
kinda makes since cuz caro did say in an interview that jacks hormons played a big part in the fight the lead to her hitting caro in the face.
I’m sure that Chuckie had already pushed her to the brink before the punch. You know, one can only take so much bullying. I doubt Wacko just hit her for saying something for the first time.
I have never hit punched anyone-but…. everytime Caroline makes one of her UGLY faces I really want to slug her.
I have to say, the Guidices r crookys. Just the fact that they both lied to bankruptcy court is enough prof for me.
for me too.
Chris and Jac did the same thing. Google Signature Apparel lawsuit.
proof of what??? What they did with their financial stuff really has nothing to do with the other cast members. Surely it does not effect BLK water, Cafface, Kathy’s Cosmo’s or Melissa’s singing. The only thing that proves is that they are not good with finances. BIG DEAL!!! who cares?
I think ur misunderstanding a point. They did not disclose to the court all of their income, mainly the 250,000 T was given up front from her first cook book deal.
And the Laurita’s used “their company” not oil water BLK to pay for personal things – trips, clothes, etc., etc., so HOW is that any different? They were also cheating the system.
yes jeanie The Laurita’s r crooks also, that if for sure. She wasen’t saying they r innocent. Just stating a fact about Joe and Teresa.
Shannon,
She was given the money. The contract was executed post BK filing. The trustee wanted to claim constructive receipt which in this scenario is impossible case law in BK was on Teresa’s side. The issue is mainly for the buildings and pizz place joe had, which he claimed were not personal real estate or property because BK remote due to entity status.
Isn’t your husband an attorney he will tell you want the phrase bankruptcy remote means and constructive receipt.
Jac and Chris LIED to their bankruptcy attorney who had to go to the courts with his tail between his legs and apologize. Chris and Jac are in BIG trouble with the Signature bankruptcy. The trustee is going after then and Ursula’s other brother and wife for liquidating almost 8 million is corporate funds. Supposedly Jac was paid as an employee when she didn’t even work there.
Joey and Lookers have 26 lawsuits against them for failure to pay including Federal taxes. The only paid Fred a small amount for that party S3.
The Manzo’s have their share of legal issues also including Al LYING to the state of NJ. Getting paid thousands each year plus insurance for his family. He claim homestead as the Brownstone for the job but he claim their home as a tax deduction on federal taxes. Ursula can wash over it but he lied when he was shown in by the either state or when he filed his federal forms
your right about the Manzo/Lauritas. They have all made false statments that could land them in jail/prison. None of the cast members are completely innocent of doing their share of scaming.
Yes, true – all liars and cheaters!
Ok, then the Laurita’s screwed their old company out of $8m to support their lifestyle and are being sued personally,the Brownstone has a class action suit for not paying overtime Al name isnot listed anymore as an owner, the Gorga’s don’t pay their employees, live off Teresa’s parents, build unsafe apartments, and probably are not in foreclosure due to Melissa’s earnings from the show and appearances, Ritchie walkilie got in trouble for forging checks to Exxon…the list goes on and on. I am not giving the Guidices a pass just the other’s shouldn’t be casting stones.
agree
I have always said the Joe and Melissa are living beyond their means. We all took a hit when the houseing market crashed, this had to affect their income.
It is more than 8M. Chris with Jac took another 2.5M personal loan which is an additional part of the BK controversy. Jac is a named member of the company, which is unlike Teresa. Chris and Jac are very shady.
What’s this about Richie forging checks to Exxon? How long ago? For how much? Sorry, I missed all of this.
Ask Jennifer, she knows it all.
See my comment below, lol
It is a huge issue with Exxon much larger than a few checks. Rox has the link to the default judgement against Richie by Exxon. Basically it was for false checks, skimming profits, issues about pricing of gas etc. Richie did not show and Exxon won their claim through a default judgement.
Lisa, I wish I would have read your comment, lol! I just said that I cannot stand people bringing up Giudices when every single person on this show has lawsuits, liens and judgements against them. I have to say I think Jac and Chris may have everyone beat with Signature Apparel! But Big Al, Caro and Joe Whorga have the most lawsuits I think.. But point fingers at Teresa and JOe? How does this make sense again? LOL
Exactly. Joe Gorga is nothing more than a house flipper. He is not this magnificant real estate developer that Melissa/Bravo set out to portray him on the show. The man does not even have a website & his business address is listed as his home address. Uumm, ok. Their all giant liars.
There is no proof that Teresa lied nor for that matter that Joe lied. Proof would only come from a conviction of fraud and not before.
I heard they allowed Joe to withdrawl his bankruptcy case, but what about Teresa’s. I wonder if she did or well get as lucky.
Joe did withdraw his before charges could be filed. Teresa is still in hers. Joes is the debt that is being paid off.
no I guess your right, again, Jennifer. Their just lucky they were permitted to withdrawl their bankruptcy claims. You really take this stuff way too personal.
Shannon,
I don’t take anything personally. What I do to like is misrepresentation of legal facts. I have always stuck to that since I started posting in November of 2011. I have said for NJ, NYC, and BH. I am consistent in my posts.
These people are not my friends, so I do not care but I want people to understand law is not black and white.
I do have an affinity to the NJ women because I was originally from Franklin Lakes and I visit often. But I do not take anything personally. Sorry.
What I do not like…
And Richie Wakile also. Us District Court Judge William J. Martini signed off on his Exxon lawsuit for bouncing checks for 4 months in a row, not paying for his gasoline, amongst other things in 2007 or 2009! Im sorry.. I just cannot stand how people only bring up The Giudices when every cast member on this show has way more lawsuits, liens and judgments against them!! EVERY ONE.
Reread that story only Joe Gudice lied. Joe lied about his salary from the show. Maybe I should write he did not include his salary from the show in his business bankruptcy.
i honestly can’t remember what sight i was on that stated T had not disclosed her up front book deal monies, u never know what is true and what it not. I do believe the Laurtia’s are in deep shit with their court case or is it cases.
That is true as well. There are sources that several buildings and businesses were not part of the suit, but they likely were BK remote. As for the book upfront deals, the trustee did make a claim for them. It was likey a poor claim because the contracts were executed post BK filing and the theory even by trustee was constructive receipt. The trustee stated T purposely delayed signing contract to make the book deal BK remote. That is a facts and circumstances issue which has very low likelihood of success for the trustee.
They are ALL crooks-all of them.
There is some details in the manzo/laurita family that they do not want the public to know.
I now womder if there is some truth to the rumor that Dina said that Jac’s son autism was “bad karma” what Jac has done in her life. Or someting like that…
I hope it will be addressed at the reunion.
The rumor, as started by Queenz (nuf said) is that T told jac that Dina made the Karma remark.
I do hope that it is broght up at the reunion. Because Andy needs to simply ask Jacqueline if teresa said that. That is a yes or no question. Jac will be forced to either vindicate T and Dina, or confirm herself as the source of the rumor.
I think most people, aside from some of the extreme T haters, see through this. There is no way in hell Dina would say something like that, and it is even less believable that T would repeat it.
I’m putting my money on Jac starting the rumor. It was a pathetic attempt to drive a wedge between T and Dina. Note this “rumor” started at about the same time she released the info on Nicholas.
would love Andy to address this comment. Ur right, a simple yes or no would clear it up.
It was reported after the rumor came out that what Dina said was in an email between Teresa and Dina. Just like the emails that Ursula claimed at last years reunion that she had of Teresa bashing her and causeing starting the problems between Dina and Ursula. Teresa told her that she was lying and no emails exsisted. Remember Teresa famous line “Bring it Bitch!” well Jac better “bring it!”
if this is true, i hope it does show up on the reunion. It would shed some light on the intergity of some cast members, good or bad.
If Jac even shows up for this reunion.
I don’t even know who Queenz is))))
Even though I honestly stated that I can’t stand Teresa,I’d like it to be adressed.
Dina was always my fav. I know she is no angel,and can be calculating (it’s not always a bad thing), but I don’t believe that she would ever say anything like that even if she still angry with Jac.
And I dont think that Teresa would ever go so low to hurt Jac THAT much by telling her that rumor.
If this is Jac who is making this stuff up,she has to be confronted. I feel sorry for her and her son,but this is out of limits.
Masha,
It did start was a rumor from another blogger and tweeter. It has not been reported by any other gossip site.
Hey masha we have a RHW’S personal lawyer on this blog. Thanks for all ur professional opinions.
remember Masha, Jennifer is right about everything her words r golden. She thinks she is a lawyer with all this convition, recording, fraud talk.
Isnt Jac pissed that Teresa WONT/DIDNT share her life with her?? But yet
we’re to believe Teresa stabbed her BFF Dina in back to tell Jac something so explosive n hurtful??? Does Jac look/sound like she heard that rumor & sat on it for a year to bring up at reunion??..Bulls**t..Melissa’s sister puts out jealous BS on twtr when the preview of Dina came on..then here comes rumor..I will ALWAYS believe it’s Melissa’s sister putting that shit out there with her BFF Queenz…too convient timing!!
Love that Dina’s on TO support Teresa!!!
Sharon,
You have problems. I do not know you but I do believe you are Samantha. But, I am an attorney and have been one for years.
But, if you want to troll my posts, then it is fine with me. But, remember you are only trolling on this site. Ciao dear…
Lexis,
My second troll who is likely also Sharon, so just troll along…LOL!
Marsha,
The rumor is bull shit. Unless it is on tape it is only hearsay. Please…
True Jennifer, but people need to know that Queenz (yuk) are very close with Melissa and her sisters and her slimy make-up artist who have said really vile things on twitter. I can’t imagine Dina said that; however I am sure that Jac would swear Teresa said it to drive another wedge between Dina and Teresa.
That is true, but I do not think she hides it. It is right in her tweet line that she is friends with Melissa, Kim, and Lysa Marco.
But you are right Jeanie!
Thats great! You can tell they totally love eacother!
I hope Dina shows up at the reunion, as a guest and friend of T. Don’t think it will happen tho.
Yes! I think its great that Bravo was nice enough to show a real friendship in the middle of all the madness! I would like to know WHY Jac questions that, brings up T and Caro being on the outs when they have become so friendly with the Gorga’s and the Wakiles and have placed themselves in the middle and made things worse? Teresa has NEVER meddled in any of their family dramas and has known them for like 15 years or so!!!! And Teresa never took sides- she stayed neutral with all of them even when they were clearly siding with her family!
Probably those stupid fired Producers wanted the viewers to see that Teresa still had one friend while building up blaming her for the *stripper* club guy coming to the Posche show, which would have worked for most, however, what the dummies did not take into consideration is, that a good % of the viewers have Twitter and KNOW that the *stripper* rumors came from Twitter not Teresa.
I highly doubt Teresa planned the friendship/reappearance of Dina. Teresa most likely surprised Bravo, when she went to Dina to tell her what was going on. At least that is what Teresa has said, she was upset and didn’t know where to turn and I believe her. When Dina was willing to be filmed, of course Bravo would film and air it because she is a fan favorite with Teresa.
But this had to be shocking to Caro & Jax with all their secrets/issues with Dina.
your post brought to mind,,, just how wild the “monsters” (great moniker) will get once Dina;s footage is shown.
they are so jealous of Dina too. She’s been off the show for 2 seasons, and is still more popular than they are.
you can bet ill be on twitter when they air the show,Sunday,the vile, trolls who wish they were women will go absolutely nuts bashing her. (and I am including Mehors gruesome sisters, in this comment).
Bravo, needs to sweep the floor including the corners of the closet.
Sorry to butt in but have they aired the Posche Fashion show? or have I missed it?
Tracy not yet! I think that will be the season final episode. This Sunday coming up will be Teresa launching her drink, Dina shows up!! So excited, love Dina!!
lol Bravo nice enough to show a real friendship? More like Bravo loves to add drama whenever possible.
Jackass is a drunken Stepford Wife….Yes Caroline, no Caroline, of course Caroline, whatever you say Caroline. Jackass is “her own person.” I call bull shit.
i’ll second that one shipp!
Shannon,
You are wrong. Dina and T have been friends longer than Jac has been married to Jac and Dina has never waivered u. He’d support of T. So by any normal and sand person Dina and T have a strong friendship.
Glad I’am not a normal and SAND person. lolol Jennifer U take this stuff way too serious.
Shannon, we don’t pick on or pick out typo’s, mis-spellings, grammer here. That’s 4th grade silly.
i get why ur commenting. u didn’t say a word about how long anyone was friends, she kinda attacted u.
yes Brit that was the only reason i mentioned her typo, thank you. I try to be open to all opinions.
Shannon,
It is patently clear that you take it way too seriously to post on this subject. T and Dina have known each other for over 15 years. You just want to twist it to your benefit…
As for “sand” v “sad” well it would be nice to have an edit button, but you obviously understood the context.
Opps it is normal and “sane” iPad just wants type fast than me…
Brit,
That is untrue. She attacked Michers. She even started with LOL…So adding the length of T and Dina’s relation is valid.
Oh and Shannon + Sharon who are likely the same person with lexis are all new. They only post on NJ and only negative info. Shannon definitely has been very partisan so she hasn’t opened the discussion up. If the discussion were open she would accept that I have a right to voice my opinion, but she doesn’t.
Sorry dear but saying normal and sane person is not an attack it is a perception of the situation. I didn’t say Shannon was not sane. She can infer what she likes from that reference….
Hey Jennifer!! Good looking out!!! Its becoming too nasty here lately with the hate parade, lol! Not fun sharing views this week. For the record, I happen to LOVE when you get the facts out there with your professional info!! So you go girl with your attorney self, because I appreciate when you can clarify or back things up!!
I LOVE Dina! I think its awesome that she supports Teresa. And you have to remember, dina is a very smart woman, I HIGHLY doubt that she would be friends with teresa if she felt a certain negative way about her. And the fact that she has put distance between herself and Caroline and even Jaq, says alot!!! I am glad that someone is on teresas side atleast. Too bad she isnt on the show anymore. I would love to see her come back next season!!!!
I think Dina is the only one who was classy enough to know that in the beginning Teresa was hurt and mad about her family coming on to the show and yes maybe Teresa was jealous when her family became the new fun people on the show. However, Dina also knows that she got over it, tried to fix things with all while the Producer friends were telling the others NO you have to hate her. No matter what, Teresa dumped them, got on with her life for the better and left the rest of the cast looking like the stupid jealous people that they are.
donnalee I totally agree with your blog. I’am sure T was upset about her family joining the show, so she probably did some mean things in the begining. Instead of everyone getting over it, they made a new world war out of it.
I dont think she was jealous. She was indeed hurt. Wouldn’t you be hurt if the only reason your family was asked to do the show was to talk bad about you. Them being fun is just a matter of opinion. To me it’s hard to think of them as fun knowing how they are trying to hurt Teresa.
I don’t think T was jealous either they{her family} came on the show to take her down. You can tell how she loves her brother and that had to hurt to see him be so mean!!
The producers did not have to tell the Manzos-Lauritas to hate Teresa. They hate her because she stole the spotlight on THEIR show
Dian just said in a recent interview that she is in favor of making apperances on the show now and then. Her new show takes up alot of her time, so she said she woulden’t be able to do trhonj full time.
I don’t think that Dina and Teresa “really love each other”.Dina said multiple times that they have “light” friendship when she was asked about Teresa’s problems and why she as a friend was not aware of upcoming T’s bancrupcy.
Basically they have fun together when it’s possible. Dina is smart,she knows it’s better not to confront Teresa about anything,because the hell will break loose.
Now the preview.
IMO,Dina looked really uncomfortable filming at Teresa’s party (that explain the presence of her assistants for “moral support”),especially when she was talking about her sister.
I think she was kind of cut off guard by Teresa wanting to document this conversation.
Dina knows the deal – she agreed to film. She is not niave about Bravo’s agenda and simply came to support a friend. Jac is reading too much into this and is looking to further villianize Dina. She has never liked Dina – and now has a “true reason” (in her head) to hate Dina.
Lilli, of course Jacass never liked Dina. Reason? Chris Lurker was engaged to Dina’s friend. Than ooops, he knocked up that bloated booze bag and had to marry her.
Dina knows the secrets the Lurkers never admit to.
And that’s also why she is now cow-towing to Caroline… because the whole family knows the deal…trap that man to get him away from fiance.
What? I haven’t heard about any of this. Is there any more to this? If this is true it explains a lot about Jac
Cat- another tidbit that Danielle let out on twitter. Apparently she and Dina had the same nail girl – not sure if that girl was the fiance of chris or the nail girl gave her the 411.
I wouldn’t have given it too much credence, except Danielle has proven herself to have been telling the truth concerning Meho…
Thanks Hoolie! Hmmm very interesting, so many things Danielle predicted are coming into light. I really am starting to feel badly about judging her so harshly in the beginning. thank god I’m seeing the light thanks to you guys and this site!
NO Dina said “they don’t get that deep!” Meaning as true friends they dont have to meddle in each others business. Like most friends your just happy to be together enjoy your time together and if you need each other your there to lend an ear! Anyway that’s what I think she meant like real friends are and should be! IMO
Exactly.
Exactly. Dina gave a dig to both Caroline and Jac.
masha I believe you pretty much hit this one on the head. Dina did look very uncomfortable and Dina has commented on their friendship as being on the light side
Guys,I know that Dina is aware of the Bravo’s agenda. And she agreed to film.But still looked very uncomfortable and brought her assistants. Yes,she does a lot with them on her NGTV show. But they have nothing to do with RHNJ. She brought them for support.
I think she wanted to come and support Teresa,but was cut of guard with that conversation.
Dina did mention “light” friendship. She also sad in her blog that she didn’t communicate with anyone for months including Teresa. That’s not “real” friendship to me. You don’t stop communicating with your close friend of 20 years over something stupid like filming.
IMO,it’s really “light friendship”.
I said nothing about Jac though…She has her own problems, a lot of them.
Dina always brings her assistants. I have been at her charity functions for project lady bug and she brings them. She has been at Meridian Health Care benefits in northern NJ and has brought them. Her assistants are her staples wherever she goes. It is not new.
I’m pretty sure at least one of her assistants lives with her. Also pretty sure Dina said she was coming from a work thing. Maybe they know Teresa and wanted to come support her too, as well as to work the party and get publicity for their business. What’s weird about that?
Teresa’s old school Italian. She’s not the type to “go too deep” with anyone, I bet. Just because she isn’t using her friends for therapy and unburdening herself to them and crying on their shoulder everyday doesn’t mean they don’t care about each other or they’re not close. Her personality might not let her express friendship in that American way we expect but there are other ways to be.
Just because she isn’t using her friends for therapy and unburdening herself to them and crying on their shoulder everyday doesn’t mean they don’t care about each other or they’re not close.
Thank You…..Not every friendship of an adult nature still mimics that of when you were a 14 yr old…
Are you kidding? It’s not like their friendship broke up permannently over something stupid, but people temporarily stop speaking to each other over stupid things all the time. My friend’s BFF stopped speaking to her for I don’t know how many weeks or months ecause they supported different candidates in a primary election. Like Teresa, she had no clue her friend wasn’t speaking to her until she told her a lot later, because they’re both really busy. Friendships ebb and flow, sometimes you may see each other everyday, at other times you may play phone tag for 8 months.
And it’s not just a reality show to them. If I had to deal with the stress, anxiety, and negativity generated by these wackjobs and Danielle, I might feel alienated and not want to talk to anyone, too.
your blogs show that u are open minded and open to other opinions, this is what i like to see in a blog.
i agree
shannon, bryn, dianna and probably masha are the same person. how pathetic can one person be? dang near talking to yourself in order to make it look like people agree.
to me “light” meant free of drama and just two friends having fun. dina had stayed away from everyone because of the drama and didn’t speak to teresa until teresa came to her door after being bashed at the reunion. its only reasonable she still wants to keep it “light”. also teresa has always been the type of woman to laugh and smile and wants to be positive so yeah dina and teresa’s friendship makes sense. two women that don’t want negativity in their lives and just want to be fun positive friends.
If they are only “light friends” why was Dina so touched by being asked to be Audrianna’s godmother? According to Dina herself, in the Italian culture being a godmother binds you for life and she even called Teresa her sister during her interview(one on one) during the show. She was there for T after the ambush and wasn’t talking to Ursula before that even happened. Dina posted on her website about that night T was ambushed and that it was not T’s doing that’s she’s not speaking to Jac or Ursulas. One thing we know about Dina is she doesn’t lie(unlike her sister i.e S2 Danielle book incident @ chateau).
I have known from the beginning that Caro has been jealous of T and D’s friendship. You could see Caro change toward T. It was subtle at first then she progressively would make it more blatant.
I also watched the 1on1 show again last night. Caro said T never would call any of them unless it was on film yet Wacko said T would call her everyday and T said the same thing. I don’t know if anyone picked that up or not.
They constantly get caught lying about Teresa. Jacqueline stated Teresa never spoke about her brother prior to season 3 – now she and Caroline say that Teresa only said nasty things about Melissa and Joe. Which is it…they never spoke about them or spoke nasty about them all the time.
Also, I don’t doubt Teresa never called Caroline. Teresa understood what type of a person Caroline was a long time ago and only communicated when necessary. Jacqueline probably never told Caroline how much she communicated with Teresa. Jax was afraid to tell Caroline (for obvious reasons).
Chris Lurker even said in his talking head shot that T called Jac every day. I think he said every morning.
Exactly, Lurker did say that T called in the morning. Caro did not deny T was tried calling her 2 times before the cookbook came out. I hope T is ready for them at the reunion. I know I will be.
Lol Kelly they can’t keep their lies straight!!
Also, in one of Carolines season three blogs, she says she was asked by Teresa to help rebuld her family. Now she says T said not to he friends or film with her family. Which one is it caroline?
i do remember reading that blog, your right. pick which one is the truth caroline, can’t have it both ways.
I comment when I feel like it. I do not need to hide my opinion even though it is not popular one here.
Comment away. Who cares as long as you have an intelligent comment/opinion and don’t insult Rox or other posters.
But thats the thing @Shipp.. Lori/ Lolag insults Teresa fans all the time, on here, Reality Tea, and SH. She goes on Reality Tea and talks about Rox and this site all the time. It’s pretty funny. I don’t know why it bothers her so much, but boy it sure does.
lolgag has NO life. She spends all day everyday reading and researching about RHONJ she is OBSESSED and every word out of her mouth is blaming, attacking Teresa fans. she is a very sick person and considers the posters at reality tea her REAL FRIENDS! Very sad situation
You sure have got that right @Say What?? Very sad actually..
she’s just a “mean girl”…calls out others but never owns her bad behavior. Huh, maybe it’s Caroline Manzo lol
It is sad and she is a very mean girl!
Bingo!! W have been called every name in the book.
*we
lol girl, get a life and stop using your 15 minutes on the behavioral center’s computer to troll aatrh.
Who cares what jaq thinks. Is she jealous? The whole damn mazoids/lauritas showed up to racoons events and gorgas always follow them like their damn bears looking for food. Last time i checked dina waant in preschool or needed a mommies note to attend events. Thats her friend for 15 years, she can do what she wants. And i’m pretty sure no one invites aunt dina to any of the blk or other garbage events or maybe shes just so damn tired of her sisters DRAMA that shes staying away. Dont blame her. Mrs “I have no time for drama” well gee what do you call whats coming out of your mouth? Gospels??? No boo, its called talking SHIT. talking about someone poaaibly divorcing and writing books about it. If thats not starting drama than what is that?
P.s. Sorry for any errors, i’m always on my phone writing on this site!
totally agree!!! Caroline talks out her ass….”no time for drama” BULL!!!!!! I’m sure she thinks she’s doing what everyone is thinking by calling T out about her “lies”. Hello pot meet kettle and I think T is being above it all by not talking about Caro and her marriage and personal business. Ursula needs to SHUT UP!!!!!
Crazy caroline and wacko Jacko dont want Teresa to have any friends, they will try to do anything they can to destroy Teresa!!! Its ok for Caroline to take Teresa’s family but Tre is not allowed to do it to them,!!! be a friend Dina dont be afaid of them!!!!
Actually a Dina and Teresa show could be fun. They just look great together.
Yes, they do. That would be a great show. And the others will be oozing with even more jealousy.
Would be great!
Party planning show- with Teresa catering and Dina decorating…
Yes!! I vote for this!
I read a post from a viewer on another site that said this blogger named Qweenzof media is really Melissa’s makeup artist. That makes perfect sense since he hates Teresa and bashed her using his own name on twitter.
Yup he is. The guy really is anti-Teresa.
I don’t think Q is Lookers make up dude, Georgie but they are good friends. Georgie does make up for Kathy also. Georgie is always on twitter bashing Teresa and Juicy without Lookers or Kathy telling him to stop. Instead Lookers sisters, the wicked sisters from the shore, will join in with him. There is no doubt if you follow all of the cast and their family members on twitter that they cannot, will not stop bashing Teresa. Yet you NEVER see Teresa even bring them up on twitter.
Why doesn’t anyone whine that they should have the expert Lauren do everyone’s makeup? Of course that might be too strenuous for her.
I agree old NJ girl
Queen of whatever and George are 2 different people, both idiots, with nothing better to do but spread gossip and hate! They are disgusting!!!!
I don’t get it. Why shouldn’t she support her friend. I find nothing wrong with Dina being there. It’s a party! Why didn’t the others come to support. I hate how everything surrounding Teresa turns into such a BIG deal. Dina thank you for supporting Teresa. Too bad the others are just too jealous.
I think Dina is supporting her friend just like Teresa supports her. Teresa always mentions Dina’s apperances or other projects on her twitter account. This is how things should be between friends and family.
As her close friend and the godmother of her daughter, wouldn’t it be stranger if she did not go to the launch party? The strange thing is that she is missing her faimly’s events, not that she is attending her friend’s events. However, given what we know of Caroline’s relationship, it’s not even that strange that she skips family events.
Dear Jac: three reasons why she would attend.
1. Unlike you, she is not afraid of Caroline. 2. Unlike you she knows how to be a true friend and 3. Also unlike you she is successful so she isn’t threatened by Teresa’s success.
Couldn’t have said it better.
You nailed it sista!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYONE. LETS BOMBARD https://www.facebook.com/andycohen WITH OUR QUESTIONS, B/C I DO SEE A LOT OF TERESA HATERS AT IT ON HIS PAGE ALREADY.
Got it!!
I preface this by saying- I’m in the middle of a Forest in Finland … and quite honestly I have nothing better to do at 11pm at night.
I can feel the weight of the cold lushing down on me.
I can feel everyones lies catching me.
I can feel the heat of the bitch fight, shine on me.
I only feel the fresher-you’re all potty.
Got me reeling all these feelings and its getting so mundane
Twitterazzi loving me love my ring.
Chorus: cause I’m on display, on display, on display
Each and everyway everyday, my own way
Everybodys waiting on me to fall
Everybodys waiting on me call, but the can creep on
Baiting on me, Baiting on me, hating I don’t fall
I know you’re gonna try to bring me down
But I’m a cooker, I’m a booker, I can figure it out
Slander my name in all the papers that’s what ONLY youse do
But you keep bashing. I’ll keep classy thats what I’ll do for you
Got me reeling all these feelings, your trying to get me slain
Twitterazzi watching me do my thing
Chorus: cause I’m on display, on display, on display
Each and everyway everyday, my own way
Everybodys waiting on me to fall
Everybodys waiting on me call, but the can creep on
Baiting on me, Baiting on me, hating I don’t fall
Everybody wanna see me fall
Everybody wanna bring me down
Everybody wanna steal my crown
But it’s not going down
Some people don’t like my style
But I don’t give a what
Everybody got something to say
Go head and post it up
On the blog sites, put it up, on the headlines
It dont matter what you say I’m still gonna shine
Cute!!
i really don’t care what reasons dina showed up. i’m just glad that she did because her presence pisses caro and jac off and i’m loving it.
I agree if Dina wants to come then she can come so all the other ladies can shove it!!
Also I saw some post on Mellisa’s sisters twitter
26 Aug Kim Pirrella Kim Pirrella ?@kimpirrella
Does anyone really care about Dina’s upcoming appearance? #seriousquestion
Expand
Kim Pirrella ?@kimpirrella
Hmmmm so I honestly think about 50/50 on whether people want to see Dina. I’m not sure myself. Guess I’ll know better after the next epi
And then this post right here
Kim Pirrella ?@kimpirrella
Passion and opinions are expected and yes even encouraged but I wonder sometimes how some people could spew such nastiness toward strangers
I was like Really! thats exactly what you and your ugly sisters do
omg those sisters!! I better not even think about going on twitter tonight lol
wait until they air the show,,,those crusty crones will be going nuts on twitter.
It will be interesting to see if the Manzo slackerbrats will be part of the twitter bashfest.
I am surprised and stunned that most of you feel it is ok to call these women on the show horrible names, but when someone calls Teresa a name, it is shame on you, how dare you! Also, I find it offensive that you all would believe that Jacqueline would start a rumor about her Autistic son. It is awful how most of you speak to others who don’t agree with you all when it comes to Teresa. I think we should be able to express ourselves without stooping to that level. I will even say that people have been awful in the way they speak about Teresa (and I am not a fan of hers). Let’s be real, are these ladies really this petty? Is this about a cookbook or magazine articles? I believe this all stems from the fiasco in the Dominican Republic when the Manzo boys were detained for fighting in the bar after Teresa allegedly sprayed an older woman with champagne. In essence Teresa is not lying when she said she did nothing to Caroline, but she did when Albie and Chris were detained. I don’t know if anyone touched on this before, but this is the only thing that makes sense.
What kind of full grown adult would completely blame another adult for accidentally spraying a stranger in a bar? I am sure the whole RHNJ party was rowdy, especially carols boys….just because T was the one who actuallt opened the bottle…..everything is her fault? It was an accident, dont you think? Sometimes accidents have extreme consequences, for sure. But ultimately, it was an accident. How could THAT sustain all these months of vitriol and spite? Little extreme. And those adult Manzos should have been sober enough to realize they werent in America, and protected. Its like they say….dont go to jail in Mexico….They shoukd have let Juicy deal with it if necessary…but I dont think they were at all sober….I just dont think this is all reason enough for caroline to dedicate her existence to destroying Teresa. Doesnt make sense. Too much.
i also believe it was an accident and they all had been drinking, no doubt about that.
Didn’t Mama Manzoid say that her precious Albie was joining th police force and had a gun? If so then Albie should have been aware of the law (even out side of the US). Or is this just more bull shit from Chucky.
By the way just wanted to point out Albie is losing his hair. Hah.
My hair would fall out too if I had to be around “The Big Red Witch” all the time.
Albie and Chris are grown ass men. Adults take responsibility for their behavior, this is a concept the Manzos have trouble with. If Caroline is upset, she should take it up with her sons instead of blaming Teresa yet again.

This is how the story was reported, but I find it weird that Bravo has not mentioned the incident.
correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Caroline Manzo criticize Teresa for wanting HER friends to stay loyal to HER when her family came on the show? And didn’t Caroline Manzo criticize Teresa for “recruiting soldiers” for her army? Didn’t Caroline Manzo say that she wasn’t the type of person to not like someone just because Teresa asked her not to? THEN WHY THE HECK CAN’T DINA GO TO TERESA’S LAUNCH PARTY..??
Dina isn’t fighting with Teresa. So she went to her party. She IS fighting with Caroline Manzo. So she SKIPPED her nephew’s launch party. This shouldn’t be hard for anyone to figure out! LMAO Maybe they should stop accusing Teresa of being the DUMB one
no correction necessary
Yes Caroline did say she won’t hate someone because Teresa told her to. But I think she just hates everyone because she is a bitter old b*tch. I don’t believe for a second that Teresa told her to hate anyone. C already mentioned in season 1 she doesn’t like people when she first meets them. WHY??? IDK!!! IMO I believe she is very paranoid and needs to get over herself.
lol jen, don’t you mean LARGE MARGE..? hehe
Dina needs to tell wacko to shut the fuck up and stay out of her business which includes her friendships. Someone just needs to confront these ladies and seriously tell them to STFU over this shit. Seriously where does she come off talking about what dina attends and doesn’t attend? Who the hell is she? I am so sick of their talking head interviews. This clip just made my week. Thanks roxy
Don’t mean to change the subject,but is Teresa pregnant again? Just saw a blind gossipon SH. Alsothe pictures at the beach from labour day weekend
her stomach looked larger than normal.
IF she was we all would know about it already.
Sorry my keys keep sticking.
i thought the same thing, time will tell
Love Dina and respect her loyalty to her friend Teresa. When Dina walked away from RH she wanted to distance herself from everybody.
Clearly her relationship with Caro had broken down and that also seems to include Chris and Jax.
When it became clear that Caro and Jax & co were behind attacking Teresa, Dina stood by her friend and stood up for her in showing up to her event.
Dina is a classy lady and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. I think she wrote that blog post in defense of Teresa because Caro was intent on blaming their broken relationship on Teresa like she does everything else.
Good for Dina and Teresa for keeping their friendship in tact. It’s clear Teresa loves Dina, so much so she made her a Godmother to her baby girl Audriana.
That must eat Caro up inside and so she tried to hurt Teresa even more this season. It’s disgusting behavior and Caro is a hate monger.
Jacq questions why Dina would go to Teresa’s luanch and any of BLK’s stuff. How about the fact that she is not on speaking terms with any of them, Chuckie, chucks kids, or Jacq. It was only a couple monthe ago Jacq went in a twitter rant when Dina twetted Ashlee. Dina was the first friend that Jacq had in the family even though Chris’ ex was her friend. Dina was a friend during the years that çhuckie wasn’t. When Dina left the show she didn’t talk to any of them until Teresa called her about decorating the house that the Gorgas now live in, that is whre the comment about Teresa and Dina not speaking for 6 months. Melissa thhrew that out there without saying part about their house and Teresa let it slide.
If Jacq wants Dina to come around where she and Chuckie are present maybe just maybe that should play nice. Jacq should stop with the negative tweets, along with the Manzo kids.
Jacq should take about the charity comments
Chuckie should stop trying to control Dina and everyone else
Chuckie needs to get over that fans like Dina better and Dina has a beter face for Project Ladybug. (Really who wants Chuckie as the face of a charity?)
If Caroline can’t control you-then she “is done with you”
I think it’s disgusting how Jacqueline tries to make something negitive out of everything Teresa has going!!! So now she’s going after Dina for going to T’s laungh party does this WITCH NEVER STOP!! Why would it be any of this crazy pysco bussiness what Dina Manzo does? Im really and truely getting sick of Jacqueline and Caroline trying to hurt Teresa every single chance they get ENOUGH already!! WTF wouldn’t Dina go do you know how special you have to be for an italian mother to pick you has a God mother of their child? They take this very seriuos and they dont just pick someone out of a hat this person has to be very important in their lives and T would have to love and respect Dina very much to give her this title!! Jacqueline why dont you GET A LIFE and leave Dina and Teresa alone already? Jealous much Jacqueline? I think you need to get some serious help Jacqueline cause you are so obsessed with Teresa it’s frighting how obsessed you really are!! Dina is a better person and friend than you are and that makes you so mad that T and Dina still have a close friendship and T doesn’t want nothing to do with you and Caroline at all anymore!! Dina and Teresa I think it’s great how close friends you are dont ever let these jealous BITCHES tear you apart that would just make thier day if they could destroy your friendship dont ever give them that satifaction!!!
You would think her main concern would be her son
Debbie agree.Hmmmmm……
Had Dina shown up for her nephews launch party they would have all huddled in the corner, whispering. Oh Dina only came here for the cameras, or Dina doesnt really support us, why would she come? Please. Who wants to walk straight into the lions den? Jac, Dina does not want to have you in her life. She has her own reasons. What about all the other siblings who didnt show? Oh I know. We wont discuss them because you all dont want us to know why they dont like you.
Oh you are so right about this!
I am hoping Dina comes back to the show-IF she will not turn on Teresa! I have always liked Dina
Wacky thinks it’s wrong for Dina to support Teresa, but not BLK. Of course it’s ok for the Hooker to support BLK, but not Fabellini.
Dina is as lame as her show.
While I think Dina is handling herself with class and elegance during this non-sensical feud, I must say that unless she was not invited to her brothers wedding I think it is a bit classless to attend this function for the RHONJ cameras vs. that one. If you are truly rising above the drama with your sister, then you could have risen above for the wedding. Just my opinion.
Yes, Dina s a TRUE friend! Hello, Caroline & Jacqueline some people are real, not just friends when it benefits them! Teresa is doing better than the ENTIRE Manzo family and it pisses Caroline off! Jac is just a puppet!
