Former “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, Dina Manzo, who left the show to protect her personal life and get her own reality show (“Dina’s Party”) on HGTV, tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth about Bravo’s hit show in a special blog post on her official website. Dina also promised this is the last time she will talk about that part of her past.

The 29 year-old housewife claims she had to leave the show after season 2 because of “all of the toxic behavior” and admits she did indeed distance herself from all the housewives. Dina wrote, “It’s a shame this TV show used to be about our lives and now some lives are just about a TV show. That’s not how it should be.”

Dina really hopes the show can take a higher road and starts portraying these women on a more positive note, showing what they are really capable of and their friendship, which should be much more important than a reality show.

“I say we change this housewives thing around and show the world what we’re really made of!” Dina writes.

“Let’s lift each other up instead of trying to tear one another down. Lets showcase what women are capable of, what I thought this show was going to be back in the day. Running successful businesses, supporting amazing causes, raising incredible children and looking fabulous every step of the way.”

“Unfortunately, not sure what the ratings on that would be, so I doubt that will happen.”

That’s right. No one wants to see successful women be successful and friendly. We would rather watch them discussing irrelevant issues, fighting over some petty stuff and backstabbing their family and friends. That’s what is good for ratings and that’s what “The Real Housewives of…” is all about.

On the feud between her sister Caroline Manzo and Teresa Giudice, Dina wrote:

“If this is all about a joke in a book (and [Teresa] assured me it was) that’s not enough for me to hate the mother of my God daughter and a friend of 15 years,” she writes. “Was it necessary to write that stuff in her book? Probably not but I don’t think it was written with malice either.”

Dina adds: “I feel bad that my relationship with my sister and her family is strained, but I can assure you that one day it will be back to the way it was.”

One day? One day probably after they are done with “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” and no one no longer remembers who they are or who they used to be. Dina’s decision to leave the show was probably one of the smartest things she has ever done in her life, but not taking her sister’s side on this feud might lead to a whole lot more drama in the future.
