The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 5 Is in Production, Caroline Manzo Says She Hasn't Seen Teresa Giudice Since Reunion

USmagazine.com:

There's a lot of bad blood between Caroline Manzo and Teresa Giudice, but that won't stop the former from taking the high road.

"I haven't seen her since the reunion," Manzo, 51, told Us Weekly of her Real Housewives of New Jersey costar, 40, at the Walgreens flagship store opening in L.A. Nov. 30. "It's nice to be able to be civil and say, 'How are you? How are the children?' That's it."

(During the tense, three-part reunion special that aired on Bravo in October, Manzo and Giudice frequently traded cruel insults. "You and your Christmas pageant dress, sit down and shut the f--k up!" Manzo told her costar. Giudice retaliated by shouting, "You have three rolls: Blubber, blubber and blubber!")

Costar Jacqueline Laurita -- who also had a falling out with Giudice during the show's fourth season -- insisted the cast is in a better place with Giudice. "We're big girls," she told Us. "We can coexist."

The pals has just begun filming the fifth season at the Nov. 30 event. "We're about 20 minutes in," Manzo said when asked how the new episodes are progressing. "Your guess is as good as ours!"
