Dina Manzo angrily lashed out at her sister Caroline Manzo on Sunday night as Caroline appeared on Andy Cohen’s talk show Watch What Happens Live. Dina posted a series of tweets that accused Caroline of being the one who has destroyed their relationship. Dina even accused Caroline of hurting their parents and speaking out about their private family matters just to promote her show, Manzo’d with Children.

Dina first tweeted that she’s in no mood to hear what Caroline was saying about her on WWHL, which she labeled as “s**t,” but that she’s about to snap from what she’s hearing.

“I’m sick w the flu for 7 days & not in the mood for this s**t. I said one day I will snap and I might be about to.”

Dina accused Caroline of not wanting a relationship with her. Dina claimed that it was Caroline who told her to never reach out or to talk to her yet pretending to be the innocent one. Dina also accused Caroline of disinviting her to family holiday events.

Dina also explained that she, while promoting her skincare line, previously told the press that all was good in regards to her relationship with Caroline because she wanted to protect her family. Dina put quotation marks around the word “family,” making it clear that she no longer considers Caroline a family member she’ll try to protect from here on out.

As for why she tweeted to WWHL in regards to Siggy Flicker, who currently stars on The Real Housewives of New Jersey alongside Dina’s sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita and good friend Teresa Giudice, but not her sister, Dina said that she simply wanted to give Siggy a compliment.

In response to that tweet, one blogger accused Dina of being the one to draw attention to her sibling relationship with Caroline. That blogger pointed out that Andy didn’t even realize that there was a problem between Caroline and Dina until Dina posted that tweet and didn’t mention Caroline, leading Andy to then question the relationship.

Another viewer tweeted support to Dina. That viewer claimed that Caroline sent her a direct message on Twitter over the summer in which she said that it was Dina who disowned the family. The viewer thanked Dina for now setting the record straight.

Dina expressed anger and bewilderment that Caroline did such a thing. Dina said that Caroline used to rip Jacqueline for direct messaging viewers and talking about family matters. Dina maintained that she never direct messages viewers about the family drama.

Dina continued on with her Twitter rant. She said that she kept her mouth shut for years in order to protect her parents and husband at the time but now she’s letting lose because her parents can’t be hurt more than they already are now. Dina’s ex-husband is Tommy Manzo, the brother of Caroline’s husband, Albert Manzo.

Dina’s final tweet on the matter accused Caroline of talking about their sibling drama simply to get attention for her show. Dina sarcastically told Caroline to call their parents. Clearly, Dina wants everyone to believe that it’s Caroline who has hurt their parents.

After the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and the premiere episode of Manzo’d with Children aired on Sunday night, Siggy Flicker and Caroline Manzo appeared on Watch What Happens Live. At one point, host Andy Cohen read a tweet that Dina Manzo had just sent complimenting Siggy for giving great relationship advice. Andy then asked Caroline if everything between her and Dina are still good. Caroline shook her head.

“No, it’s over,” she admitted.

Andy expressed shock. He pointed out that the last time he and Caroline spoke, she said that everything was okay between her and Dina. Caroline, showing no emotion on her face, compared Dina to a rock.

“Oh what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? You can’t get blood out of a rock.”

Dina and Caroline starred on the first two seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey together, where they got along and supported one another as loving siblings. After Season 2, Dina left, but Caroline remained, continuing on with the show for three more seasons. During that time, Dina and Caroline became estranged from one another, but the exact cause of which was never really publicly explained by either party. Caroline went on to star in her own spin-off, Manzo’d with Children, while Dina returned to Real Housewives for its sixth season.

On the Season 6 reunion show, Dina, referring to her drama with Caroline, as well as with sister-in-law Jacqueline, said that she would never do a reality show with family ever again and that she tried to make things right with Caroline and Jacqueline, only to be rejected.

Yet, over the holidays in 2014, Dina, who now lives in California, and Caroline shocked everyone by revealing on social media that they had reconciled and that Dina spent the holidays with Caroline and her family. Dina also publicly said that she and Jacqueline were fine.

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Dina watched Caroline’s daughter, Lauren Manzo, get married in July of 2015.

Soon thereafter, Caroline, during her August appearance on WWHL, said that she sees Dina as much as she can and that they text one another. As the Inquisitr reported, Caroline added that they’re friendly and nice to one another.

Obviously, something has happened again between Caroline Manzo and Dina Manzo, and perhaps again between Dina and Jacqueline Laurita. During the after-show portion of WWHL, Caroline revealed that their reconciliation lasted about 10 months and maintained that she never did anything to Dina. Will either one reveal the cause of the drama and estrangement between the two this time, or will they once again keep people scratching their heads? Unfortunately for The Real Housewives of New Jersey viewers, they likely won’t see Caroline and Dina work out their issues with one another on the show in a future season. Caroline told Andy on Sunday night said that she won’t go back on the show the way it is now.

“Wow, I can’t go back to what was. So things would have to change. Relationships would have to change. It would have to be a better place to be.”
