Jacqueline Laurita fully supports Caroline Manzo‘s potential return to “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” and is accusing Teresa Giudice of being “scared” of her sister-in-law.
“They need you back!” Laurita, 48, commented under Manzo’s teaser of her sons’ podcast, “Dear Albie.” “That would be epic.”
The former “RHONJ” star then bashed Giudice, 46, telling Manzo, 57, “You are the REAL queen of that show and Teresa knows it! That’s why she doesn’t want you back and is always talking bad about you publicly. She’s scared of you.”
Giudice’s rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, in January 2018, Giudice told E! she could “give two s–ts” if Manzo or Laurita returned to the reality show.
“They’re both evil people,” she said, adding that Manzo is a “money-hungry bitch.”
On the “Dear Albie” podcast, Manzo shared that Bravo reportedly asked her about two weeks ago to come back to “RHONJ” next season in a “friend of” the Housewives role, but she declined. Bravo declined to comment.
“I helped build this show,” Manzo said. “Pay me what I’m worth. You got an OG here and I’m going to be arrogant.”
She continued, “It’s just a matter of respect. I was one of the original women that built this show. I’m one of the women that they still talk about. Don’t come back to me like I’m a newbie and I’m going to fall for your b——t.”
