Dina Manzo Bails on 'Housewives of New Jersey'

Dina Manzo Leaving 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'?

One 'Housewife' is fed up with the reality TV scene and is looking to leave her hit show. Dina Manzo of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' hinted that she may bow out of the Bravo show after Monday night's episode. "Believe it or not, I'm a private person, so this experience is really hard for me," Manzo told Hollywood Life. "They [her fellow 'Housewives'] all love it a little bit more than I do."

Of course, the show's rep stayed tight-lipped, despite Bravo's teaser for the upcoming episode, which says that one 'Housewife' leaves "forever."

"While there is a lot of speculation about who, if anyone, is leaving the cast, viewers will have to tune in Monday night to find out the truth," the show's rep told The NY Post.

Last month the "private" Housewife detailed her breast reduction in Life & Style, sharing her decision to go from an 32DD to a more modest 32C cup.

Manzo's husband may be part of the reason she's jumping ship. He has allegedly refused to appear on the show and has been disappointed by the public perception of their lives. Apparently, he is still furious about the way he and Dina were portrayed on VH1's 'My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding,' which documented their lavish, $1 million wedding a few years ago. In the episode, Tommy admits to cheating on Dina before the marriage. "I was not a good boy," he says.

Even if Manzo is out, the other 'Housewives' -- Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, Teresa Guidice and Danielle Staub -- are all on board for another table-flipping season of the Bravo reality hit.

whoa!! - honey should calm down with the accessories. but for real, i will miss her and grandma wrinkles.

By qwikhnds

I believe the over accessorizing is because of a Lady Bug event last week that had a them. She's one of my favorites.

Dina is dressed that way for a scene in the next episode where they are at a COSTUME FUND RAISER. I agree, Danielle should go, she's disgusting!!!

By BarbfromNJ

I probably won't watch this anymore if she leaves. I can't stand that Danielle, and Dina is the only one who really shows discuss towards her and doesn't hide her feelings.

Dina I love it when you're on the show. I love your daughter Lexi and Grandma Wrinkles. You are lovely to look at and seem nice on the inside too.

By Eric

I agree AGame. Was she trying to wear every piece of jewelry she owns? That Hindu princess look just aint workin' for her!

I will miss Dina but I totally understand why she chose to leave.

Dina should leave...she was threatened by Danielle... oops I mean GARBAGE last summer and garbage is a crazy person. Best to stay away let the naked truth take out the garbage!!! It stinks.
Best of luck Dina to you and your family. Ladybugs rule and garbage druells!

Its not nice to call people names Alice. Just because the Manzo's gang up on Danielle and call her foul names does not necessarily mean that she is guilty of all their accusations. There are 3 sides to every story. The side of the people on the left, the side of the people on the right and the truth normally lyes somewhere in the middle! Please exercise a bit of decorum and refrain from name calling like a spoiled child.

What amazes me the most about this show is that Dina, Caroline, Jaqueline and ESPECIALLY Theresa (who thinks that cleansiness is a word in the English language LMAO) never stop talking about Danielle for a single, solitary moment. They all claim they want nothing to do with her yet they talk about her constantly. Seems rather hypocritical to me.....Rosemarie

*ROSEMARY, Very well put. Very well put indeed!!!!

When TRHONJ started, I didn't buy the Manzo's "Oh So Innocent" routine!! And when the truth came out at the "Last Supper", by their sister in law no less, they proved me right!! :D

I'm NO Danielle fan, not even close. In fact, Jacqueline was the only one I did like but the fact that she kept the TRUTH to herself, LIED for that family until the day of the "Last Supper", that told me that she's just like the family she married into!! That's not good in my book. She also wasn't much of a "friend" to someone she called a "friend" at that time!! Funny how that worked huh????

If Dina's the one who leaves, that will be just fine with me!! Maybe next season, her big sis will take a cue from her and leave as well!! One can hope right?? LOL Peace

By Amber

Don't blame her wanting to get away from the sex tape leaker Danielle!

By sandra Sothard

if everyone leaves...Danielle will have her own reality show...like Betthany on the other housewives...I wouldn't watch it ...they both annoy me..!

that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, not quitting the show, but going from a 32DD to a 32C.

By jfk

what is so dumb about wanting to save your back!!

By Tammy

I think that it is interesting that NOW Dina is proclaiming to be a "Private Person" because I don't remember the VH1 episode but I do remember that she is the same person that was on "Bridezillas" and we all know that you can't get no lower than that!!

By Rosemarie

Dina was on bridezillas? OMG I have to see that!!!!!

By majorla

I agreed with you !

By nski

Oh I hope not! I love Dina!! She totally rocks the show!

By SICK OF JILL

I love Dina...she's the best one on the show.... but I don't blame her for being afraid of Danielle's insanity and her felon friends. Especially that Danny guy... he wont' stay outta prison for long with his attitude. And please.. someone tell him the 80's called and want their hair back.

Sick of Jill, I'm not defending Danielle but I just don't get it. Why do you, as well as many others believe she'll be any safer by leaving the show seeing how they all still live in the same town???

I get that they're on a show together but that doesn't mean anything really. Think about it. Since the season started, none of them have had to be around Danielle for the sake of the show. The only reason why Dina went to see her was because *SHE* wanted or needed to. In other words, she had a choice just like the rest of them do. Again, I don't see why or how she'll be any safer! ?? Peace
