More Real Housewives of New Jersey drama to report today!
The latest is Caroline Manzo is finally speaking out against her former friend and costar Teresa Giudice. Following Sunday night’s finale which revealed the growing rift between the two ladies, The Caroline is not mincing her words when it comes to Tre! The drama began when Teresa insulted Caroline by stating she is “as Italian as the Olive Garden,” and then to add insult to injury, she also took a shot at Caroline’s son Christopher Manzo in her cookbook.
In an interview with Life & Style magazine, Caroline, 50, states fame has changed Teresa, 39. “I’m done with her,” Caroline states. “We’re housewives, nothing more,” Caroline asserts. “But she believes she’s Angelina Jolie or something!”
“She’s a bully,” Caroline adds. “She crossed the line in so many ways in trying to maintain this image that she has, that there were no boundaries.”
Oh but there’s more! In a separate interview with The Insider, Caroline accuses Teresa of playing the victim. “You don’t have the right to play the victim when you’re the one doing all the hitting,” said Caroline. “Everybody here wants to hug… Everybody loves each other here, it’s all love.”
Teresa apparently sees herself as the victim as she blogged last week: ” The whole time we were filming, I had no idea what other people were saying about me. I just assumed they were all my friends.”
Caroline, who had remained loyal to Teresa on the show, almost to a fault, then goes on to admit she even mistreated Teresa’s sworn enemies family members Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile based on what Teresa had told her about them.
“I was awful to them, awful to them. [Kathy] came to my house, this poor thing — her angel wings are underneath the dress, you don’t see them — and I abused her. Because I had a preconceived notion about who they were, and it was so far from the truth,” said Caroline.
Caroline finishes the interview stating: “Why should I feel sorry for somebody that walks away from people that want to help her, that walks away from love and tries to hurt?”
A former friend of Teresa’s tells Life & Style: “She is just not the same person. When filming began on the show, she seemed so sweet but now she doesn’t seem to care about the people around her.”
Our RHONJ insider told us Teresa is now friendless as evident by the fact that none of her RHONJ castmates attended her recent party to launch her Fabellini wine with the exception of Dina Manzo.
And speaking of Dina, Caroline is finally confirming what we reported a while back. Back in June, we broke the news that Caroline and her sister Dina were no longer on speaking terms. A source confirmed the story to us back then in addition to the fact that the two sisters stopped following each other on twitter.
Back then Caroline denied the feud, perhaps wanting to protect her family, but in a new preview clip for the upcoming reunion, she finally comes clean. In fact she blames Teresa for straining her relationship with Dina.
In the clip below, Teresa says to Caroline, “No wonder why Dina doesn’t want to talk to you! Like, what happened to you?” Caroline responds: “I lost a lot of my relationship with her.” Andy Cohen then asks, “With Dina?” Caroline states, “Yeah.” Andy asks over what, and Caroline right at Teresa and says, “I’m looking at you.” Whoa!
Part 1 of the reunion airs this Sunday on Bravo at 10/9c.
TELL US – THOUGHTS ON CAROLINE’S COMMENTS? DO YOU AGREE THAT TERESA IS A BULLY AND PLAYING VICTIM? THOUGHTS ON CAROLINE NOT TALKING TO DINA & BLAMING TERESA?
Not a big fan of any of the NJ housewives but i was definitely disgusted w/ the reunion. I was shocked how Andy jumped on the bandwagon to attack Tre, but didn’t call anyone else out on anything! Her financial problems should NEVER be brought up! Tre obviously has a problem expressing her issues w/ anyone, she sounds like an idiot, but she didn’t do half the slamming that they did to her, including Andy(the non-bias host) Also ck out Stoopidhousewives.com and the truth shall set u free! lol. Joe and Melissa don’t even own that house, their 2.25 million dollar construction loan is due July 2012 but they pay their bills, right? Andy didn’t mention that. It’s just a matter of time before they start blaming the Guidices for their financial problems. They sent a video to bravo promising to destroy Teresa to get on the show! Well they are succeeding, nice brother he is. Dina’s feud w/ Caroline and Jac has been going on since Dina left the show (not b/c of Danielle but b/c her daughters father wanted her off) but i guess Caroline thinks that Tre shouldn’t have anything to do w/ Dina b/c of their fight, but it’s ok for Caroline to hang with Kathy and Melissa. Hypocrite. When the show started this season Teresa didn’t say anything worse about them as they said about her, so how did she ruin their reps to the public. Although, i would be P.O’d if I were on a show and my cuz and sis in law showed up without my knowledge. Also Caroline claims she knew nothing about Kathy prior to her coming on the show but said on this season in a cameo that the Wakile’s are good customers of the Brownstone…hmm. Should also check into their problems regarding their business as well…people in glass houses. Caroline says Tre drank “the kool-aid”, interesting coming from someone ringing the bell on Wall Street, having her son’s on Millionaire Matchmaker, selling black water and her stint on Dinner w/ Rocco and losing 50lbs, i’m sorry who drank the what? yeah, that’s what I thought. They all went on trying to become famous, and if they were smart, they’d get off the show asap possible b/c it does nothing but destroy lives, but i love watching it happen!
Teresa Guidice was amazing at the Reunion and she looked fantastic. She was calm even though, everyone was attacking her, including Bully Andy Cohen. Caroline, the liar, yelled the whole night. I guess Teresa hit a nerve with Caroline when she brought up the fact that Caroline’s family is not talking to her. Good for you Teresa! I hope Dina sees Caroline’s true colours and stays away from her. She’s evil! And Melissa, she is so jealous of Teresa, it’s obvious. She kept bringing up things about Teresa to make things worst between her husband and Teresa. Shame on ou Melissa Gorga. Forget all the “Thank you Jesus” remarks and your fake tears. Jesus sees right thru you’re fake everything. No wonder your In-laws blame you and hate you for the problems in their family. They see right thru you too. You’re killing your father-in-law with all of your hate. If anything happens to him, you’re husband will be the first one to blame you too! Teresa is the only one who’s been trying to fix things between her and her brother and you and Caoline keep interfering. Caroline mind you own business. You don’t know what you’re talking about AGAIN! Get a life Caroline and you too Andy Cohen with your fixed poll you ran on Whatch what happens live, asking “if you were too hard on Teresa”? The real answer was YES, you big dummy! Of your you were. And then you had your nerve to add dumb things like, correcting Teresa on a word like “distanced”, who cares Andy? and about Teresa’s Jewish friends? who cares Andy? and about how her husband Joe speaks? who cares Andy? Andy the baby!
Caroline the pitbull, lied thru her teeth all night at the reunion. I can’t believe she turned on a BFF just over a joke Teresa said about Caroline. Is Caroline retarded or something? How many times do they all say jokes about Teresa? Teresa never jumped off a bridge. Why is Caroline getting into Teresa’s family feud with her brother & sister-in-law? Does Caroline think she’s Dr. Phil? She’s not! She can’t even mend the problems in her own family. Why is Trouble maker Caroline Manzo on Season 4 of the RHONJ again? Nobody wants to watch her 2 mama boys cry to their mother for every little thing for another season and tell dumb jokes. The Manzos don’t add anything to the show. Everything is “scripted” and “rehearsed” when they film Caroline and her family. Phony Caroline thinks she can fool us viewers in thinking that she has a perfect, normal family like the Waltons, BUT, REALLY, she has more in common with the MANSON FAMILY! BRAVO, PLEASE GET RID OF THE MANZOS! THEY’RE ALL LIARS & FAKE!
Teresa’s apologists are as narcissistic as she is. Many people who insist that the others are worse are also obviously Teresa fans. Why do Teresa fans lecture about objectivity when their Saint is everything they accuse the others of? Hypocrisy, vulgarity, and etc.. And this shit about “owning up”, yeah, all can be applied to Teresa. Even has she continue to spiral downhill and loose more and more fans, the more defensive others become and try to rationalize her ctions.
The reason why Teresa is the one who is singled out the most is because she’s the biggest attention whore and it’s all her. So all of you bemoaning why she’s singled out, it’s like you say, Teresa IS the show.
I like Caroline. She’s not perfect. She makes mistakes. But she’s acted WAY better than Teresa. Teresa needs to spend more time working on her parenting skills (her daughters are disrespectful, spoiled and out of control) and less time bashing her “friends.” I used to be a HUGE Teresa fan. She was the reason I started watching the show. I didn’t like her this season. I know that editing plays a part and no one is blameless in this situation. No one is all good and no one is all bad. Every single one of the women have made mistakes and done things that I’m sure embarrassed them when they watched it. But, in my opinion, Teresa has gone too far. There may be reasons she’s acting crazy–rumors of her husband cheating, serious financial woes, etc. All of that takes a toll on a person. Still, I think Teresa needs to stop, take a breath and take a look at her life and what choices SHE’S making.
I watched every season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey from the beginning. But now, I HATE the new 2 Housewives Bravo added to the show and Caroline Manzo. Bravo needs to get rid of Caroline Manzo and her family, Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakili. They are all so boring! They all act like High School kids. They don’t spend money or look classy like the other Housewives on all the other shows. The only Housewives on Real Housewife Of New Jersey that does, is Teresa Giudice. She’s beautiful, she spends money (and that’s why we watch these shows), she’s a fighter, she’s an amazing mother and she can take on anyone who comes at her. I love her!
All the other housewives on this show, are so boring. They don’t add anything to this show. I only watch when they show Teresa Guidice and her husband Joe. Whenever they show the other housewives of New Jersey and their husbands and kids, I switch the channel. Especially that Caroline Manzo and her family. Can’t stand them! Caroline joined this show for self gain only. All Caroline did when she was on the show was promote herself and her banquet hall “The Brownstone” because they’re in serious financial debt, try and get herself a permanent job on the radio “giving advice”, (big joke!) trying to promote her daughter Lauren’s new cosmetic company and now, trying to promote her 2 son’s “black water” (dumb idea). That’s the only reason that Caroline Manzo is on this show. Hey Bravo, people don’t watch these shows for that! Get rid of Melissa, Caroline & Kathy!
Are we all watching the same show here?? I’m so confused by the comments of supporting Teresa. REALLY?? She acts like she’s gotten on some kind of drug. And the person who said Melissa is jealous of Teresa, huh, I’m so confused. Yes, I agree, her “Thank you Jesus” comments are over the top. There isn’t a thing about Teresa that I can envision Melissa would be jealous of. Melissa is beautiful and a bit annoying (stuck up and spoiled) but hey, I bet all of the women on here would love to find a rich and handsome man who wants to spend his life with you. And now all of you are even complaining about the host, Andy. He has a job to do, Teresa plays the victim (ALL THE TIME) and needs to go back to grammar school. Seriously, who writes a COOKBOOK and talks about people in it. She doesn’t even know what she is even talking about and makes herself look so stupid when she mis pronounces basic adult vocabulary. What a moron. She lights the match and steps back wondering why the house has burned down. Poor, poor Teresa.On a side note, the only person I would consider normal and real on the show is Jaclyn. Good for her for not showing up to the reunion.

IMEANREALLYPEOPLE,
Melissa is beautiful and a bit annoying (stuck up and spoiled) but hey, I bet all of the women on here would love to find a rich and handsome man who wants to spend his life with you. Hahahahahahahahahahha,
I’m reading the last 2 comments and I’m wondering if this person is watching the same show as us? Melissa is good looking but that doesn’t mean she’s not jealous of her sister-in-law Teresa. Melissa is jealous of Teresa’s success and fame. Melissa is an attention seeker and wants some of that money that Teresa’s making. Melissa is so jealous, that’s why she came on the show. Why else? Would a “normal” person go on television to air all their dirty family laundry, if they’re were not getting along with their sister in law? All of Melissa’s phony, fake, “Thank you Jesus, I hope my husband and his sister works things out…” Melissa’s so 2 face. If she really, truly wanted her husband Joe and his sister Teresa to make up, Melissa wouldn’t keep stirring the pot and making thing worst. Melissa repeats every conversation she has with Teresa to her sisters and to her cousin Cathy. Why would she do that, if she knows that will only keep the feud going? I’ll tell you why. Because Melissa doesn’t want her husband and his sister to make up, because Melissa is jealous of Teresa.
Everybody mispronounced words on the show. They even showed a clip of that on the Reunion. Teresa wouldn’t put a picture of her and Caroline in her cookbook if she didn’t like Caroline. Obviously, she really didn’t mean any of those things to be taken seriously. That’s Teresa, she thought it would be funny. Teresa didn’t say anything bad. Caroline Manzo and her big babies Chris, Albie and Lauren need to lighten up and grow up. They obviously have major lack of self esteen and confidence and are trying to blame it all on Teresa and her book. But none of us are buying into that. The Manzo’s are the worst for being jealous of Teresa’s success. Nothing is working out for them! They are so Jealous of Teresa!
Caroline Manzo has stopped talking to her best friend Teresa Giudice for a joke that Teresa said about Caroline in her new cookbook. Is Caroline retarted? Is that any reason to start this huge, public fight with her friend of how many years? and her sister’s best friend? What kind of mother is Caroline that she would want her kids to think that it’s o.k. to “trash talk” your bff, for telling a joke? Caroline has major problems!
Caroline Manzo is such a liar and a bully, the way she turned on her BFF Teresa Guidice. Who does that? Caroline said many times that she was never friends with Teresa when everyone knows that’s the biggest lie. What about all of those vacations, family get togethers, holidays and events together where Caroline is shown defending Teresa Giudice and her family? What about that Caroline? Not only does that make you a big fat liar on National television, but that also makes you a back stabber!
Teresa doesn’t need friends like Jacqueline, Caroline, Cathy and Melissa. Those are not real friends anyway. As soon as Teresa started getting all the attention, the other 4 housewives of RHONJ turned on her. They’re all just boiling over with Jealousy!! Caroline and Melissa especially! Melissa Gorga is a “trouble maker”, “phony”, “fake”, lying housewife and a “copy cat”, “wanta- be” Teresa Giudice. Caroline Manzo is fuming mad that her 2 sons are not getting noticed or making any money. Also, there’s a rumour going around, that one of her son’s is Gay. Caroline’s family is in such a mess, with her brothers and sisters not talking to her, Caroline is taking it out on Teresa. I love Teresa Guidice! She’s as real as they get. She’s classy, a fighter and a survivor. She’s every guy’s “dream” of the “perfect” wife! Way to go Teresa! Of course, Melissa will stay married to her husband Joe. Who else would be able to finance her singing and spending habits. She needs a man with deep pockets. There’s not too many “sucker”, “blind” husbands like Joe Gorga around. Joe Gorga needs to open his eyes and listen to his sister Teresa.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its obvious that all the posts made on this thread are from people that are being paid by Treape(Theresa)!!!!!!!!!!!! She’s a pig and fame whore!!!!!!!!!!!! No way that there is that many people that like her enough to say nice things about her without getting paid,,,, period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s so obvious that alll you peeps that are saying nice things about Treape are on her payroll or are probly only 4 or 5 posters using different screen names!!!!!!!! Scammers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aren’t any better than she is and that is definitely not saying much at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo, please get rid of Caroline Manzo and her family. This show is suppose to be about Housewives and not the Manzo boys. BORING!!!
Whoever thinks that Caroline Manzo is normal is retarted!! None of her 11 brothers and sisters are even talking to her. I think Caroline watched the Godfather movie and the Sopranos once too often. The only thing she has in common with those shows is, she looks like that hit man, Clamenzo, “Take the Cannoli”. Caroline sticks her big fat Olive Garden Italian Nose in everybody’s business. She never shuts up. She’s either screaming at the top of her lungs, pointing her finger in someone’s face or crying. She doesn’t know what to do, she’s a nut! Even Andy Cohen is afraid of her and never asks her any tough questions on any of the Reunions. He’s such a chicken and he’s boring too. And for Caroline to even think that Billy Joel’s daughter would want to ever have anything to do with her family, prooves that Caroline is crazy. Whoever thinks that Teresa is jealous of Melissa is crazy too. It’s the other way around. Melissa is so jealous of Teresa. Thats why she came on the show. She wanted that attention and she wanted to try to be successful like Teresa. Kathy and Jacqueline are so boring too. We need some new blood. Enough of the family relations and kids on this show. Everybody is trying to cash and get their kids noticed. This show is off course.
I find it truly amazing, how All the housewives, not just “jersey ones”…see themselves as “role models”!! I find that actually quite funny, and pathetic at the same time….They are role models for pampered, over indulged people, that if they ever had to truly address a “real issue”…they would have to pay someone to do it for them!!! They act out their issues to the camera!!! If its good for the ratings, it will be addressed…..This is what our society has come to be…..Bravo TV is a sign of the End of Days…
I’m SO SICK of Caroline! Ever since season ONE, she’s been saying everyone has been coming after her family, now it’s Teresa… ARE YOU KIDDING ME! What reason should ANYONE go after her family?!!! They’re not that special! I’m SO OVER her pretentious, fake, “wanna be mob boss” attitude! It’s gotten old and VERY ANNOYING! I hate how she thinks that her family is “perfect,” and how they can talk all the crap they desire about others, yet no one is allowed to strike back! Disrespectful, Moon face Ashley is allowed to attack Danielle, but Danielle is trying to destroy their family and should drop the charges against her. They can talk all the garbage they want behind Teresa’s back, but she is not allowed to stand up for herself and fight back! I SEE ALL OF OF THEM FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE…. A BUNCH OF JEALOUS BI*CHE$ CRAVING FOR TERESA’S SUCCESS! Caroline couldn’t even account for her husband’s shady involvement with their sheriff friend and how Albert sleeps at the Brownstone! Who is she kidding?! But she can be judgmental towards everyone else! WHAT YOUR HUSBAND AND FRIEND DID WAS FRAUDULENT CAROLINE…. IN YOUR WORDS, “OWN IT!” HOW ARE YOU GOING TO JUDGE THAT?!! You won’t because you’re a hypocrite!
Melissa cannot sing to save her life, Kathy probably can cook, but she has absolutely NO PERSONALITY and is a backstabber, Jacqueline is a spineless sneak, and Caroline is PISSED because no one offered to publish a cookbook on her behalf! They’ve tried to turn the tables on Teresa by making it seem like she’s a bad person, but they cannot twist things around on me…. I see them for who they truly are! Caroline is hateful, cold, calculating, manipulative, and doesn’t have an once of humility! Melissa can talk trash about Teresa, saying that she throws better parties and that they “pay their bills.” It’s nothing but jabs on Teresa’s behalf, but she talks softly and say how she want’s to mend the family! What a way to do it! IS SHE CRAZY?!! She must really think the viewers are nuts! Melissa CRAVES attention and tries TOO HARD to be something she’s CLEARLY NOT! She really did it at that fashion show! Teresa is a natural, and doesn’t have to fight for attention, she AUTOMATICALLY GETS IT! GET OVER YOURSELF TWO-FACED MELISSA! YOU WILL NEVER BE MIRIAH CAREY, BEYONCE, OR ANY OTHER FAMOUS AND TALENTED FEMALE SINGER!
Kathy at the reunion, throwing passive-aggressive digs, saying that Teresa is crazy, but then immediately trying to cover herself by say that she was only kidding, but when Teresa plays around with them, she’s considered a bit&h! Kathy also wanted to open a restaurant, just like Teresa, but then threw a dig about not being able to spend time with her children… YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT BEFORE YOU EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT OPENING UP A RESTAURANT KATHY! SOURPUSS Caroline should leave the show and take the rest of the jealous, fake, and boring cast along with her, because frankly, TERESA IS THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY! NO TERESA, NO SHOW….. PERIOD!!!!! HAVE FUN GOING TO THE BANK TERESA!
