Dina Manzo displayed a wide range of emotions on Real Housewives of New Jersey last night – sadness over her assistant Luke moving back to Ireland, happiness over spending a stress-free evening with new friends, and anger over Amber Marchese sticking her over-rouged nose where it doesn’t belong. Dina took to her blog to offer more insight into the emotional episode.
“This week’s show really made me cry,” shared Dina. “I miss Luke so much, he left early in the season, so I think that’s why I look stressed and tired a lot too!”
Dina continued, “Luke was like my personal jester, no matter what was going on he could always make me laugh. He is truly a son to me and a brother to Lexi and I am hoping he finds what he is looking for back home. If nothing else I’m sure his mom is so happy to have her little boy back on her side of the pond, and like I said, my door will always be open to him (and any other stray that needs a home)!” Well, that explains the tacky hat, it must have been a stray.

We saw Teresa Giudice bragging about what a great mom she is while driving with an open cup of hot coffee in her hand and without a seat belt on her or her kids. And Audriana should have been in a car seat, but I digress. So Gia makes Teresa proud because Gia makes Teresa look like a good mother. Oh, Teresa – never change. Dina agrees, Teresa is a great mother. Seriously?
“How much do you love Gia? She is such a beautiful kid inside and out. Like Teresa says, it’s moments like that when you know you’ve been a good mother,” said Dina. “Kids like that just don’t happen, some of it is luck but MOST of it is good parenting. I know I’m not perfect, but when I look at my daughter I know I can’t be that bad to have raised such a good person in this crazy world we live in. I think after watching Lexi you will all agree with me too. Some of the kids you’ve seen on TV make you just cringe, don’t they?” Yes. See: Milania Giudice.
About dinner at Teresa Aprea‘s house, Dina revealed, “Dinner at TerEsa’s was lovely, it was so nice to meet Santa, Giovanni, and their niece. Rino was very sweet to cook in between visits to the bathroom. I hope he washed his hands! Kidding! The food was great and at this point I’m really starting to enjoy the twins’ company. We spent more time together than you get to see and they are really growing on me. I like their family values and their positive outlook on life.”
So Jim and Amber went to church on Ash Wednesday, which Amber told us, is the start of “lentil” season. And Amber was so moved by the service, she felt the need to rush outside, call Teresa Giudice, and push for details on her plea deal. Amber be like, Come on, Teresa! It’s lentil season! Spill the beans, girl!
But Dina has Amber figured out. On the show, she said, “Amber is one of those people who wants to know because they’re into gossip and they’re nosy.” Maybe Amber could give up gossip for Lentil?
“I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a million times, I am that friend that is silently there for you, but WHEN and IF you want to talk about anything, I’m here for you in a heartbeat,” declared Dina. “I don’t pry and I never will. It’s just not my style. I’ve realized in life most people like to hear of others’ misfortune and 90% of the time they’re asking about your business because they’re nosy, and just need ammo for the gossip train. I’ve seen it so many times, it’s sad but true. That’s why my circle is small but it’s TIGHT!”
About the next few episodes, Dina shared, “Well I’m not looking forward to the weeks that come, they were stressful and chaotic, but I’m still standing! I’m a tough cookie and nothing or no one can take me down EVER. Change is hard, trust me, but it doesn’t have to be.”
TELL US – CAN YOU BELIEVE DINA THINKS SO HIGHLY OF THE TWINS? ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TRIP TO FLORIDA?
