Say it ain’t so … One of the original members of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” has announced she’s leaving the show after five seasons.
Caroline Manzo made the announcement Sunday on Twitter and on her blog on Bravo’s website after part II of the season 5 reunion.
“I’ve always prided myself on giving you the truth of who I really am, the good, the bad, and the ugly,” Manzo wrote on Bravo’s blog. “Over the past few years my outlook on the show has changed from something I couldn’t wait to show my future grandchildren to something I hope my future grandchildren never see.”
Manzo, who also seemed to grow weary of the ongoing family feud between Giudice and her brother, Joe Gorga, summed up her thoughts on leaving on the blog: “Going back to film another season of Housewives would only make me a hypocrite. For me, peace and integrity cannot be bought with money or fame. As I said on the reunion, I’m done … I have nothing more to give.”
If you saw the reunion, Caroline’s departure isn’t too much of a shock. All season long Caroline has seemed exhausted with the Teresa Giudice family drama (Rightfully so. Sidebar: Even listening to this woman speak in circles and misuse her native tongue of English is exhausting.).
But don’t think that’ll be the last you see of Caroline. She’s filming a spin-off titled “Manzo’d With Children” that she believes will give viewers “a very different look” at her family.
Dang… Caroline was one of the only sane people on the show.
