Here’s a juicy Real Housewives Of New Jersey tidbit! It seems that Dina Manzo was serious when she said she’d never film a reality show with her family again. 

Jacqueline Laurita is returning – briefly – at the end of this season when filming resumes to capture Teresa Giudice‘s sentencing drama. Jacqueline revealed that she’ll actually just be filming to support season extra Kathy Wakile‘s newest dessert launch, but rumor has it the real reason producers pulled Jacqueline in was in the hopes of a showdown with Dina

Jacqueline has also remained friendly with Teresa after the two made amends last season, so presumably they were hoping both Dina and Jacqueline could film together in support of their friend as she deals with her sentencing news. Well – Dina was not havin’ any of that! What’s that zen you speak of? More like ignore what you don’t want to see! The usual.

Tom Murro tells us, “Dina was telling the other wives not to film with Jacqueline, and has not filmed with Jacqueline herself for her upcoming appearances. The other wives have.”

As for whether or not Jacqueline will be returning after this season, the answer is yes! “I’m told Jacqueline will be back for next season too,” Tom added.

I find that interesting given that Jacqueline herself is in major hot water legally as her bankruptcy case escalates. She too was accused of possible fraud. Furthermore, their finances are a wreck. And who would want all that on film. As if doesn’t Bravo have enough of that already?! But perhaps with Teresa possibly leaving and Dina bringing lackluster drama, they’re hoping to recapture some of that old RHONJ magic with another family feud?

Jacqueline, for the record, has said she’s happy taking a break from RHONJ and filmed several scenes for Manzo’d With Children, which she described as a much more positive and fun environment. Yeah, but she loves the spotlight and is broke, so…
