Photos & Video: RHONJ’s Jacqueline Laurita And Caroline Manzo At The Sparkling Event For Autism Speaks

Were you left sitting at home, drying your tears because Jacqueline Laurita's Sparkling Event for Austim Speaks was all sold out?  Don't fret, as we have all the behind-the-scenes scoop for you!! 

Tom Murro of Fox Morning Extra dished the deets with us on the event, which drew in support from Jacqueline's RHONJ co-stars Caroline Manzo and her crew (the hubby and all three kids), especially since the event was held at the Brownstone.  According to Tom, there was "no sign of Teresa, the Gorgas or Wakiles."  Adding that "Caroline was sweet".

Jacqs gave a speech to the crowd and admitted that she was nervous about it.  Tom shared, "Jax admitted she was quite nervous, more specifically- ''scared shit'' about giving a speech in front of the crowd, she said it's very different from being in front of camera, but she pulled it off, speaking about her son and all children with Autism. Her speech kicked ass, was from the heart, and brought tears to many guests eyes."

Some clips of her speech included, ''what treatments work for one child may not necessarily work for another, but it might, and it's important that parents speak up and share their resources with others so that we may be able to find the missing pieces that can help our children recover. 'Its our job as parents to educate ourselves on all the information and resources out there. I believe that children with Autism can recover, not all, but many have and parents need to be given that hope.''

Jacqueline was a sport and posed for a ton of photos with fans.  Apparently there were two huge lines of people waiting to see and pose with Jacqs and Caroline both. 

Today life was back to "normal" for her, as when Tom called her she shared that she was "sooo exhausted today, cleaning and laundry, fun Mom stuff. My life is so glamorous, I'm in my backyard right now picking up dog shit."  You gotta love the way Jacqs just lays it out there.

Hmmm…I'm starting to wonder about Tom and Mizz Amy Laurent – she seems to be appearing in a lot of his photos and attending the same events lately. Just sayin'.

TELL US – DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE EVENT LAST NIGHT?! MORE IMPORTANTLY…ARE YOU READY FOR SUNDAY NIGHT?!!
