New Jersey Housewives Caroline And Dina Manzo No Longer Speak To Each Other
Real Housewives of New Jersey sisters Caroline and Dina Manzo are no longer on speaking terms with each other.
Dina was on the first two seasons of the show, but left after she had a falling out with another former housewife, Danielle Staub.
During this season’s reunion show, Caroline admitted that she and Dina don’t speak to each other and it’s all because of Teresa Giudice (of course).
Dina is apparently Team Teresa, which helped to break down the strong sisterly bond between them. Caroline said on the show:
Sisters and former Real Housewives of New Jersey costars Caroline and Dina Manzo are no longer speaking — and they have Teresa Giudice to thank.
On Sundays’s reunion show, all eyes will indeed be on Giudice, 39, who has officially been iced out by her costars, one-time pal Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, Giudice’s cousin, Kathy Wakile and sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga.
“Teresa is a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” Manzo, 50, tells Us Weekly of Giudice, who slammed her former friend in her Fabulicious! cookbook, calling her “as Italian as the Olive Garden,” and insulting her son, Christopher.
After spending much of Housewives’ season 3 attempting to mend Giudice’s longtime rift with her sister-in-law, Manzo realized Giudice had no intention of making nice. “It was all a charade,” Manzo tells Us. “And we were all pawns in her horrible game.”
As a result, Manzo says she behaved badly toward the Gorga family, without getting to know them first. When she got to know them and become friendly, Giudice flipped. “[A friendship] was not what Teresa wanted,” she tells Us. “I welcomed the bad guys, so I became the bad guy.”
“When it served her purpose, she was my friend,” Manzo reasons of Giudice on Sunday’s reunion.
And Giudice’s behavior hasn’t just affected Manzo’s relationship with the Gorgas. On part one of the reunion, she reveals that her bond with her sister Dina, a Giudice ally, has officially broken down and that the pair no longer speak.
