Was there really ever a truce at the Manzo clan or has there always been trouble brewing between Dina and her family down at The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHNJ)?
Barely a year after Carol and Dina supposedly settled their differences, the estranged sisters are back at it again after a rather catty Twitter post involving sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita and niece Ashlee Holmes. According to RadarOnline, Laurita wrote a rather cryptic message saying "I advise you not to imply any more 'hints' if you don't want the truth to come out @dinamanzo Enough!"
Reasons between the new rift have been vague as well. According to former RHNJ cast Danielle Staub, the fight was over Dina'scharity, Project Ladybug, which has recently been placed under close watch after Laurita leaked information about it to the press. RealityTVMagazine, on the other hand, dishes that the reason behind it all was Jacqueline being axed from the show. "Caroline was livid with Dina because Jacqueline needed the paycheck for her autistic son Nick's medical bills. They haven't spoken since," an insider spills.
Additionally, other sources say that Dina and Laurita have been exchanging snippy comments due to Laurita's daughter making fun of Dina. Other speculations, however, point to the renewed relationship forged with Teresa Giudice.
Regardless of the real reason, Dina expressed her intent to stay mum about her estranged relationship with her family. The returning RHNJ cast member claimed that her newfound spirituality has made her realize that setting boundaries is the smartest move to do at the moment, Fashion&Style reports. She shares in her personal video blog "It doesn't mean that you think you're better than anyone else, I don't think I'm better, I don't think anyone else is better. I just think sometimes you're on different paths and if the exchange is toxic when you're with each other."
Dina also stated that she hopes the time will come when she and her family can finally come together and settle things peacefully.
