Prisoner Gets Released and Flees to Real Housewife for Home Cooking

May 31, 2013 by tamaratattles 22 Comments

prisonRemember back when 9/11 happened and Mayor Giuliani was right downtown by the towers with the New York City Police Commissioner trying to keep order and get rescue efforts organized? Well that police commissioner’s name was Bernard Kerik. Kerik, by most accounts, did a pretty good job cleaning up the mean streets of NYC as the police commissioner. He seemed like a pretty decent dude and a couple years later President Bush submitted his name for consideration as National Director of Homeland Security. It seemed that Kerik knew he could not stand up to the scrutiny of such a position so he withdrew his name from nomination saying that he had hired an illegal alien as a nanny or something.

After that, I reckon some people started digging into his background and discovered he had been doing a bunch of bad stuff like lying to the IRS, wire fraud, conspiracy and more than a dozen charges. In February of 2010, Kerik got sentenced to four years in federal prison.

I bet you are wondering why I am blogging about this dude. Because while all of that is kind of interesting, it’s old news and not very celebrityish. True, but the guy got released on Tuesday and came home to his house in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey to a catered dinner party for himself and twenty or so of his closest friends. And guess what caterer he hired to make all of the things he missed while being in prison? Did you guess the Manzos? If so, you are correct.

According to NewJerseyNewsroom.com :

“He put a request in for some food that he’s been missing for a few years,” said Albert Manzo, who runs Brownstone catering in Paterson along with his wife Caroline Manzo, a star on the hit reality show, The Real Housewives of New Jersey. “He loves our short ribs, shrimp scampi — a lot of things he doesn’t have access to there,” added Manzo, whose chocolate fountain and gourmet desserts have been New Jersey staples for decades.”

Yeah, I know that was a long way to go for a flimsy punchline. I just thought it was kind of interesting. Carry on.

    He’s been friends with them for a very long time. Albert is pretty shady in a lot of ways too.

      Well, I just had a big ole belly laugh at this. Almost as funny as the Cat Dairies video that is making the rounds. Haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time – and just in time to start off my weekend! Thanks for posting.

        Just saw the cat diaries for first time last night. Had to rewatch it as I missed half of it laughing so hard. Genius. Whoever put that together…sheer genius!

    I think if you go back to the first season, maybe second, he shows up briefly in an episode. Danielle also dropped a reference to him and the Manzo’s association with him to raise questions about their character.

      I wonder why Bravo didn’t expound on that. They seemed to embrace the Manzos in most all the episodes. Andy systematically dismissed much of what Danielle had to say on the reunion shows. He clearly showed a bit of disdain towards here.

    Kerik and his wife were on the show the first season. They were at the Manzo party that Danielle kept driving by and stalking.

    Can’t help it or explain it. Got a soft spot for Albert Manzo. I think he gets a real shitty rap. Just imo.

      Me too. And Caroline is my favorite RHONJ. Still the story was too intriguing not to post. 🙂

        Caroline is a bully in my book and she shelters her sons too much. Her daughter is just like her.

          She’s WORSE than a bully, and yes, her daughter is just like her.

          I caught up on the episodes I missed during the last 3 seasons in preparation for today’s premier.

          Caroline seems to think it’s her place to speak for everyone. She often displayed the “step back let me handle this” attitude. In her eyes, everyone was to scared or weak to speak up for themselves except her. Bravo should bring in someone with a bigger personality to deal with her or unleash Teresa’s table-flipping personality. For some reason, she (Teresa) hasn’t completely gone off on Caroline. JGiudice saved Caroline from getting her ass kick during the last group trip.

          Bring it on!
