Dina Manzo Bails on '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.

I don't really understand why someone who is "really a private person" would sign up for not one, but TWO reality TV tours of duty. Can someone 'splain that to me?

They're BOTH crazy!(Danielle and Dina)
One has Multiple Personalities and the other needs a "psychic" to tell her how to live her life.

I vote for the nutball ones I can't stand because they're the reason I watch the show. If they lost coked-out Kelly on RHNY, wannabe mob moll Danielle on RHNJ or the hypocritical Jesus Barbie on RHOC, they'd lose the drama. Keep the kooks!

Dina you will be missed by so many. I feel that your decision to leave Housewives of NJ was well thought out. It's like you said many times before, you are a low key, no drama kind of person. We must all respect your decision and wish you well in your future endeavors.

Dina made the right decision. Danielle ought to be ashamed of herself acting like she does with her daughters on the show watching there mother.

In the beginning of the show, I specifially remember Jacqueline trying to be a true friend to Danielle. And in subsequent shows you can see Danielle's Narcissistic, Sociopathic behavior start to sabotage her relationships with not only Jackie, but with Dina, who tried to offer an olive branch of friendship and the two women Kim "G" and Kim "D".
Danielle has always got to have things "her way" in every situation or YOU ARE NOT HER FRIEND!!! Bottom line, for this person with a personality disorder!!
