Caroline Manzo’s Net Worth, Relationship, & Personal Info – RHONJ

Bravo launched The Real Housewives of New Jersey on April 15, 2008. On May 12, 2009, the first season premiered. Caroline was initially introduced to viewers when she joined the Bravo series during season 1. Her sister Dina Manzo, Teresa Giudice, Danielle Staub, and Jacqueline Laurita were all part of the original cast. (5)

Caroline Manzo may have left The Real Housewives of New Jersey after Season 5 many years ago, but she is still very much a part of the franchise for fans in the Garden State.
While they “very, very casually” knew each other when they first joined the show, Caroline claims that things changed “when it became a competition for [Teresa]” as the show’s popularity grew. Caroline stated that she was never aiming to intrude into anyone’s life, including Teresa’s, but rather acting as a “big sister to a degree” to Teresa.

Caroline is elaborating on that period of life and her relationship with Teresa. Caroline claimed that when she met with Teresa again years later, around the time they were filming a 2020 Super Bowl commercial, Teresa allegedly told her that she had difficulties with her because of Melissa Gorga and Caroline’s treatment of her when she first joined the program.

Caroline and Dina Manzo’s relationship has escalated with Caroline’s recent backing of Thomas ‘Tommy’ Manzo on the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Caroline and Dina haven’t agreed on anything in years. The Manzo sisters have a long history of feuding, as fans of the program are well aware. Their dispute, however, recently escalated to a new level when the two clashed on Instagram.

Dina has kept quiet about her and Caroline’s problems over the years. However, after her sister Caroline defended Dina’s ex-husband in an Instagram post, the RHONJ star finally came up in her defense.

Thomas was arrested in May 2021 on suspicion of orchestrating a 2017 attack on Dina and her husband, David Cantin, as well as a 2015 attack on David. After Caroline wrote a letter in support of Thomas, calling him “kind-hearted and caring,” Dina’s friend Luke McKibben slammed Caroline’s actions on Instagram, prompting Dina to say, “Normally Lukey I would ask you to take this down but ya know what? I’m starting to think some just expect us to stay quiet while they continue to hurt others…what that’s gives them that ‘power.'”

Caroline Manzo claims she was close to returning for The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s upcoming 10th season, but she turned down an offer from producers who refused to grant her a full-time role on the show.

When the hit Bravo franchise first aired in May 2009, the mother of three was one of the original Housewives. On Tuesday’s edition of son Albie Manzo’s podcast Dear Albie, Manzo discussed the claimed offer and her decision not to return.

Caroline claims that staffers from RHONJ’s production company, Sirens Media, approached her about the role “two, three weeks ago.” While this isn’t the first time Caroline has been approached about a return, this time they had a firm proposal, allegedly telling Caroline that they’d want to see how she fit in with current cast members in a part-time role before potentially expanding her role into something bigger.

That role, dubbed “Friend of a Housewife” by Bravo, has aided in bringing other former O.G.s back into the fold. Caroline, on the other hand, was not pleased. On Dear Albie, she commented, “It’s quite insulting.” “It just makes me angry that you picked up and call me like I’m a fool. I’ve been playing this game for ten years and have yet to meet a fool. You are not conversing with a knucklehead. … I’m no one’s ‘Friend.’ I’m not someone’s ‘Friend of.’ I’m not a “Housewife, possibly.” I’m a Housewife! ”
