Manzo and Manzo appeared at Page Six’s “Reali-Tea” Live event at The Loft at City Winery in New York City this week, and of course, there asked about the Jersey housewives, one in particular, Giudice. Caroline, who claims she isn’t interested in the Real Housewives franchise, reminisced about the days when the show was a good way back in season 1.

“I miss the days of Season 1, Teresa. I do … that makes me so sad because we had belly laughs,” recalled the proud Italian. “We were there for each other. We were on this journey.” She and Lauren believe Giudice couldn’t handle the fame and let it all go to her head.

“Fame is very d,angerous, and if you are not completely grounded in who you are, you believe the bulls**t,” she insists. Going on to say, “The fame got to her head, and I will stand here to this day — to this moment — in the fact that I have always defended her.”

Lauren criticized Giudice for continuing where her mom left off. She called the “Skinny Italian” cookbook author a “monster.” And insinuated that she would “step on anybody to get ahead,” which people believe is happening now with her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga and her brother Joe Gorga.

Caroline even went as far as to drop the bomb o who called the FBI on Giudice leading to her time in prison and her ex-husband Joe Giudice’s prison sentence and deportation. “PS, I was there,” Caroline bragged. Lauren slipped in, “But we’ll never say who it was.”

So why did Caroline not shut everyone down who blamed her years ago for telling on Tre? Simple, she “took the fall” because she’s “not [a rat].” Caroline further explained. “It’s not even about being a rat,” she asserts. “There’s this thing called collateral damage. So, when you say something, who’s going to hurt? Who will this hurt by saying this truth?” she explained. This likely refers to Giudice’s four daughters.

Caroline Manzo Is Sick Of Defending Herself

Caroline’s latest stint on reality TV did not go as she planned. She appeared on Ultimate Girls Trip, where she allegedly left early due to some form of harassment by Brandi Glanville. Yet, she says she has managed to keep her integrity.

She applied this practice to stay out of Giudice’s business. “You can believe whatever you like about me. I know I never did — I could never do that,” Caroline insists. “But if blaming me makes you feel better, OK, then your reality. It’s not going to change my day.”

Giudice has long blamed Manzo and her family for turning her and Joe Giudice into the police in 2011 when the investigation became public. Her 2013 jail stint left her sour and wanting to know who the “rat” in the group was.

Some of the drama played out on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Guidice shared her theory with other cast members but ultimately never went anywhere.
