Caroline Manzo looked back at her time on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" with Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub during an appearance on Access Hollywood's "Housewives Nightcap," via Showbiz Cheat Sheet, last week.

As she looked back on some of her more memorable moments on the Bravo reality series, Manzo was asked about the time she sternly told Giudice, "Let me educate you," and explained where her harsh words came from.

“Frustration, probably frustration – I find that all my interactions with Teresa always start and end with frustration,” Manzo admitted.

According to Manzo, during her many on-screen encounters with Giudice, she often found herself treating her cast mate as if she was one of her kids. 

 “It was probably me just talking as I would to one of my children, a child…Let me educate you – figure it out – let’s talk about this – just trying to get my point across. [But] you can’t get through that cyclone that’s in her head,” Manzo explained, adding that when it came to their interactions, she often felt she was in a one-sided argument.

“When it’s a one-sided argument, and like I said the cyclone that lives in her head, I have no desire to argue with,” Manzo went on. 

Then, when Manzo was asked about potentially reconciling with Giudice at some point in the future, she didn't seem interested in doing so and instead suggested it was unnecessary. 

“It’s fine, I’m not on the show so I don’t need to interact with her so I don’t care. What do I care? You live your life and I will live mine, and we’ll both hopefully live happily ever after,” she said.

Also on the "Housewives Nightcap," Manzo recalled the moment in which she referred to Staub as a "clown."

“I didn’t want to film it and I’m like, ‘Why are you making me do this?’” Manzo said, via a second report from Showbiz Cheat Sheet.

According to Manzo, Staub brought two massive bodyguards to protect her from Manzo, as if she suspected she would become violent.

“There were two security guards that were minimum 6’5 each. I’m five feet tall. Why she brought security – I’m five feet tall – what am I going to do?" Manzo asked.

"Am I the Tazmanian Devil? What am I going to do to you? I’m not a violent person. That got me going. Like you idiot, you fool. Are you looking for optics here? What are you looking for?” Manzo continued.

Although Manzo went into the discussion with Staub looking to “talk sense” into her cast mate, she felt that Staub was preparing for conflict, which is what she ultimately got.
