Things are deteriorating in the Garden State.
Former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” actress Jacqueline Laurita claimed that current “Housewife” Melissa Gorga deemed 61-year-old Caroline Manzo, Laurita’s sister-in-law and fellow show alum, “too old and boring” to be a cast member.
An Instagram user recently questioned Jacqueline, who is married to Manzo’s brother Chris Laurita, “What do you think of Melissa’s friendship with Caroline Manzo?”
“I believe they are friendly acquaintances,” 52-year-old Jacqueline responded. “Melissa always claimed Caroline was too elderly and dull to be on the show. (She isn’t)”
Jacqueline said that Gorga, 43, “must have heard the rumor that Caroline could return to the show” and is likely “forming her alliances.”
But Jacqueline had more to say about Gorga, who is frequently at conflict with “RHONJ” actress Teresa Giudice, her sister-in-law.
When another enquiring mind asked Jacqueline if she believed Melissa to be a “liar,” the ex-Bravolebrity claimed that the Envy boutique owner is “good” at it.
Jacqueline answered that Melissa and her husband Joe Gorga are to blame for the dissolution of her friendship with Giudice, 50.
“Throughout the entire time, Melissa and Joe were manipulating me by whispering in my ear secrets about Teresa, things she would say and do to them, and things she would say behind my back,” Jacqueline stated.
Once Melissa arrived, I began to observe a different aspect of Teresa.
Manzo will star in Season 4 of Peacock’s “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip” despite her absence from the forthcoming season of “RHONJ,” during which the Gorgas’ feud with Giudice will reach an irreversible point.
