The Season 2 episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, “Don’t Drink the Holy Water,” featured Audriana Giudice’s christening. It is one of my favorite RHONJ episodes. Remember Dina Manzo’s joy when Teresa Giudice asked her to be Audriana’s godmother? And the over-the-top celebration after the church, featuring a mermaid serving sushi?
Recently, Audriana shared some distressing news about her relationship with Dina. Fans still don’t know the status of Teresa and Dina’s friendship. The once thick-as-thieves friends cooled their interactions. Dina was missing from Teresa’s nuptials, and it seems as if their friendship imploded. Still, it’s upsetting to hear about Audriana and Dina.
Audriana Giudice is “sad” she no longer has a relationship with godmother and RHONJ alum Dina Manzo
Of course, Audriana spilled the tea on her sister’s podcast, Casual Chaos with Gia Giudice. What will Gia do when she runs out of family members to interview? Just wondering.
“We don’t really have a relationship anymore. We’ll text each other on holidays. I never talk to her, like, consistently,” Audriana explained. “It’s kind of sad because we used to have such a good relationship when I was younger, and she would always take me out.” She added, “We would have so much fun together, but we don’t have those anymore.”
According to Gia, nothing “necessarily happened” between Audriana and her godmother. “I think it’s just hard because she’s in California and the distance,” Gia stated.
As for Dina, filming RHONJ was too much. She filmed some scenes for Season 2, then left the show. She is still estranged from her sister, Caroline Manzo. Meanwhile, Dina’s ex-husband, Tommy Manzo, was sentenced to seven years in prison for hiring John Perna to viciously assault David Cantin. Dina and David were dating at the time, and are now married.
I’m glad that Dina and Audriana are at least keeping in touch.
Real Housewives of New Jersey streams on Peacock. Viewers in the UK and Ireland can watch it on Hayu.
