On this season of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice did nothing but fight. Which is par for the course when it comes to Tre. But despite a detour into who should be wearing the leggings from her new athletic line, Teresa’s altercations all surrounded her relationship. The OG housewife found herself the subject
Dina Manzo
What would a Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion with Teresa Giudice be without deflection to avoid confrontation? Well, after twelve seasons, it’s clear that Teresa will not speak truthfully and directly. But heaven help anyone who questions her reasoning. That’s exactly why Dolores Catania did not confront Teresa when her friend claimed that the
Teresa Giudice and her loyalty clause in friendship is central to the Real Housewives of New Jersey. It’s started many fights and ended many friendships. And that loyalty was put to the test when it came to who Tre would invite to her engagement party. Teresa announced her engagement to Luis “Louie” Ruelas in October
Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub has had many memorable moments on the show. Of course, during Season 1, Teresa Giudice called her “a prostitution whore” and flipped a table. Even Andy Cohen acknowledged that table flip as the most jaw-dropping moment he has seen on reality TV. During Season 2 of
For the remainder of Real Housewives of New Jersey history and beyond, Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga will butt heads. Tarzan and Joe Giudice will forever be enemies, especially since Juicy got Joe’s sister taken away to “camp.” It’s also a sore subject with Tre’s four dorters, so that always adds fuel to the fire. Teresa
Sometimes the mood strikes when you have to stop what you’re doing and watch the OG episodes of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Like most debut seasons of Real Housewives shows, there’s truly nothing like it. Before it was the Teresa Giudice show, it centered all around the uber-Italian Manzo family. Dina Manzo and Caroline
Real Housewives of New Jersey is back for Season 12!! I’ve been so into Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Real Housewives of Orange County that I had no idea RHONJ was making its debut this week. But man, am I glad it is! All the ladies are back, including Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin,
There are certain things that we can just expect Real Housewives stars to do at this point. They will wear the “CHA” “NEL” earrings at one point, sometimes spelled backward *cough cough* Luann de Lesseps. They will pursue a side hustle on Cameo, because why wouldn’t you make money sending glorified Snapchats? And, at least
The rivalry between Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga will never end. Just when it seems like they are besties, the flames ignite again. Last season on RHONJ, Teresa slammed her brother, and Melissa’s husband, Joe Gorga, for not standing up for her. Melissa and Joe were furious that Teresa
Wedding bells are ringing in New Jersey! People just revealed that Teresa Giudice is engaged to her man, Luis “Louie” Ruelas. Teresa Ruelas kind of rolls off the tongue, right? It definitely has a ring to it. In season 11 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Tre tried to keep her romance on the down-low,
Housewives are just like us. They can’t help but weigh in on the Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi situation. With every day that goes by, someone who has nothing to do with Erika or Tom takes the time to chime in on the mess. Just in the last few weeks, Camille Grammer claimed that a “good
Dina Manzo hasn’t appeared on the Real Housewives of New Jersey for several seasons, but maybe that’s because her personal life is like a scene straight out of the Sopranos. Since Dina left the show, she married a new man David Cantin and moved to Malibu to live her best zen life. She’s still close
We could all use some kindness, but the last place you expect to see it is on Bravo. But damn it, call your friends and family because this story managed to melt even my hardened, dark, barely beating heart. Go ahead and grab a tissue because the sun might get in your eyes or you
The Godfather music is playing on a loop in my head and if I wind up wearing a pair of cement boots that I didn’t order, here is my swan song. For the record, this situation has absolutely nothing at all to do with mob ties, mafia families, or sleeping with the fishes, and my
Before the Real Housewives of New Jersey was totally the Teresa Giudice and family show, it was all about the Manzos. Estranged sisters Dina Manzo and Caroline Manzo are OGs. They talked about bubbies, hosted family dinners with Tre and Jaqueline Laurita and they were so “thick as thieves” that they were married to brothers,
The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been the Teresa Giudice show since her table flip heard around the world. Eleven seasons later and she’s still feuding with the Gorgas, mixing up her words and centering her world around her four dortors. A lot has changed from the good old days when she’d drink wine
Jackie Goldschneider delivered the analogy heard around the world during last night’s Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 11 premiere episode. Or at least the Bravo world. In response to Teresa Giudice refusing to take back the cheating accusations against Evan Goldschneider, Jackie said “Gia [Giudice] does cocaine in the bathroom at parties.” She wanted Teresa
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been into these newer seasons of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Margaret Josephs and Jackie Goldschneider have been great additions to the Teresa Guidice show. But there is still nothing like the first few seasons of RHONJ. The drama was unparalleled. That’s because it was centered on family drama (say it in your
First and foremost, it’s a relief to know that Dina Manzo and her husband David Cantin are safe and sound right now. This week, the story broke that Dina’s ex-husband Tommy Manzo reportedly hired a hitman, John Perna, from the Lucchese crime family, to attack David. Allegedly, he didn’t even pay the guy. Instead, he
It’s like a story straight out of The Sopranos. On Tuesday (June 30), Tommy Manzo — ex-husband of former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dina Manzo — had been arrested for allegedly masterminding a hit job on her new husband David Cantin back in 2015. One day after the federal indictment against Tommy became
Dina Manzo was an integral part of making the early seasons of Real Housewives of New Jersey all about family. Along with family members Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita, Dina talked incessantly about the importance of family. Dina and Caroline are not only sisters, but they married brothers as well. The three ladies’ family ties became the
For years, Real Housewives of New Jersey viewers have been invested in the Manzo/Laurita family members. We met Dina Manzo and Caroline Manzo during the show’s very first episode. They are sisters who were married to the Manzo brothers. Dina has since divorced and re-married. Jacqueline Laurita was another OG RHONJ cast member. She is
For the most part, Real Housewives of New Jersey has come through with the entertainment season after season. However, there’s one season that really wasn’t great. At all. I’ve always felt that there was one RHONJ season that should be wiped from the history books; i.e. the DVR. And I feel validated knowing that Andy
