'RHONJ' Season Six Reunion May Be The Last For Teresa Giudice
For years now, Manzo and her brother, Chris Laurita, and sister, Carolina Manzo, have been estranged. Although no one knows why Manzo is on the outs with her siblings, she made it clear during the reunion that not much has changed between them since fans last saw them together on the show.
"I would never do a show with family again," Manzo said, according to a Nov. 3 report by E! News. "I love my brother, I love my sister," but when it comes to Jacqueline Laurita, "There are certain people, I cannot have exchanges with...It's healthier to love from a distance...I don't want a relationship with Jacqueline…I don't need the chaos."
Melissa Gorga Feuds With Dina Manzo During 'RHONJ' Reunion
Ahead of filming on season six of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Laurita's contract was not renewed, and she went on to appear as a guest star on Caroline's Bravo spinoff, Manzo'd With Children.
Around the same time, Manzo was brought back to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, joining returning wives Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga. However, after producers saw a drop in ratings, they brought Laurita back -- much to the dismay of Manzo, who claimed Laurita reignited their feud by returning to the show.
"I would love for them all to show up and everything just go away," Manzo said of her siblings. "I tried to squash it a million times in the press, say everything was fine, hoping that they would go along with it and then just like see each other and everything goes back to normal. But it somehow doesn't go away."
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season six reunion special continues airing on Sunday night at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
