Dina Manzo Returns To 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'

AllMediaNY.com:

Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dina Manzo will be in front of the camera on this coming Sunday’s episode.

In sneak peeks, Dina is shown hanging out with the girls and returning to her former housewife glory. Dina is, of course, the sister of Caroline Manzo, which means, by proxy, she should hate Teresa Giudice, too, right?

Hold on there. Dina will be seen at Teresa’s Fabellini party, and Teresa could not be happier to hang out with her.

Blood does not seem to be thicker than water because Dina seems to be leaning more toward Teresa’s side of the argument than her sister’s. Shouldn’t she hate Teresa for the way she treated her sister (and everyone)?

However, Caroline sees through Teresa’s evil ploys and insists she is using that to “drive a wedge between the sisters,” according to Wetpaint.

Dina left at the end of season two, and she was definitely not exactly buddy-buddy with her fellow housewives.

Jacqueline Laurita has sided with Caroline in that the timing of Dina’s step back into the spotlight could not be more suspicious.

Of course, when it was first reported that Dina was openly hanging out with Teresa despite  what Teresa wrote about her sister Caroline and her nephews in that Fabulicious! book, I was highly upset and called Dina out for being a phony as well as a traitor to her own flesh and blood. But now that Teresa's apologized and kissed Caroline's ass a gazillion times this season on RHONJ and we've all seen sides to Caroline that only Danielle Staub knew existed, I have to say that Dina's feud with her sister does take on new meaning. However, I do still think Dina's passive-aggressive, sometimes a phony and agree with Jacqueline that Dina's appearance here is a little "suspicious" because Dina knows damn well how bad it looks for her to be publicly hanging out with Teresa.
