After spending several days on the road in relative peace, things reached a boiling point between Caroline Manzo and former friend Teresa Giudice on last Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives.“The only thing positive about it was I finally said what I needed to say and I’m done. And that was a year ago,” she continues. “And I have not seen or spoken to Teresa since the reunion last year with the exception of the Bravo commercial – I was in the same room with her.
My last words to Teresa Giudice were at the reunion last year. And can I tell you, it’s been a wonderful year.”
Celebuzz: You had done so well avoiding conflict with Teresa on the trip. Why did you find it necessary to get involved that night?
Caroline Manzo: I had to get involved, because [Teresa] looked directly at me and asked me a question. And I had no intention of saying a word, not a word, because I was exhausted. You can see in my face that I just wanted the trip to end. I was exhausted from it. And I was asked a direct question. If you’re going to be so brave as to ask me a direct question and knowing what the answer is going to be, I’m going to give it to you. That’s what happened.
CB: To be clear, what is it you believe Teresa should apologize for?
CM: I just don’t think she treated her family and friends with any kind of dignity or respect. And I think that’s sad, because everybody was there for her.
CB: Do you see any possibility of reconciliation with Teresa?
CM: I have a very clear understanding of what is. There could be forgiveness if it’s asked. I’m big enough to say that I was rude and obnoxious and very hard on [Teresa], which I was. But, that’s the level she brought me to. But, you still haven’t apologized for what you’ve done to any of us, not just me, to any of us. And until there’s a real legitimate apology, I’m not interested.
I said what I had to say. I was very blunt and very matter of fact in what I had to say. I don’t regret it. I regret that I had to do it, but I don’t regret those words because my conscience is clear now and I’m good. I don’t need to go back there. Why would I do that?
In a new report Reality Tea's source shares EXCLUSIVELY that things are very, very bad between the cast members and that things are getting worse and definitely beyond repair!
"Teresa is putting the boxing gloves back on. She is all about keeping her cool and throwing digs at the cast. She cannot stand any of them. She will NEVER let them see her fall," our source reveals.
And allegedly, "Teresa gloats at the fact Melissa [Gorga] is nothing more than a cast member. She isn't the break out star she thought she would be. Teresa feels that Melissa is just one big joke. Teresa is out and about at appearances and book signings and Melissa is singing at Great Adventure."
Apparently despite Teresa's so-called talk about forgiveness, it was never an option once Melissa and Kathy Wakile joined the show, but Teresa is not alone in putting on a happy face!
"Melissa has not been sincere about wanting to make up with Teresa. Melissa is an 'actress,'" our source claims. "Those who know her, know how she 'acts' on the show isn't really how she is."
Our source also claims that in last week's episode when Melissa and Joe Gorga left Napa with Teresa it was to make them look good on camera. "You heard Melissa's comment that you better remember who left with you," our source reminds us. "They are so tit for tat. That is why they will never and have never had a genuine relationship."
Since joining the show, Melissa thought her fun personality would bring viewers onto her side and she would become the break-out star, replacing Teresa. However, she didn't count on Teresa developing a die-hard fanbase.
"Melissa's alleged plan isn't really working out the way she had hoped," our source shares. "Teresa is still really popular and the main focus of the show.
Which is exactly how Teresa likes it! "Teresa loves that the past 2 seasons revolve around her. It doesn't matter if people are talking good or bad. it's still all about her."
