Exclusive: Jacqueline Laurita Fired from Real Housewives of New Jersey

Sigh. I’ve heard all the Real Housewives of New Jersey rumors this week and have been ignoring them for many reasons. Mostly because it is a bit early for contracts to be handed out. In general, this is not done until the complete season including the reunion shows are aired. However, it appears that due to the numerous adjustments that are going to be made to the show for next season, the axe is falling and changes are being made already. It’s kind of a good news, bad news situation for me. Tamaratattles EXCLUSIVE sources had a lot of interesting tea today. I did not want to believe some of it but my source has never been wrong so prepare yourself for the news. Please link and credit if referencing on your blog. RHONJjachowdareyou

Clearly, the headline is good news. Jacqueline Laurita will not be exploiting her child on the Real Housewives of New Jersey anymore. She is out.  The shocker is the reason she is out. According to my well-placed spies, Dina Manzo is coming back. Bravo had to make some serious concessions to get her back and the biggest one was to fire Jaqueline. Apparently, these two despise each other like no other. You can expect to start seeing a flurry of drunken Jac tweets at any moment. I expect her to spew hatred toward Dina like a volcano all over the Internet for this.

Dina returning is supposed to accomplish of few things. First Teresa trusts Dina. If Teresa manages to make it through the entire filming before getting locked up, we could get some heart to heart moments between Dina and Teresa.  Secondly, Caroline is “leaving” sort of (more on that in a minute) and we need a new level-headed mediator to keep the lid on the pressure cooker. With Jac and Caroline gone, Dina will be civil with most everyone. The show needs a “carrier pigeon” between rival camps. It is unclear whether Caroline left for the spin-off leaving a spot open for Dina, or if Caroline was another of Dina’s casualties as condition of her return. UPDATE: My source says I can stop wishing for Caroline to be back on RHONJ. After five seasons, she has had all she can take of the drama and wants to spend time with her family. She was not fired but left to pursue a spin-off. If her show goes forward, she will have production credits and will have control of when and where filming occurs. If it doesn’t go forward, she is fine with that and done with the housewives franchise. She is leaving in a good place. As of now she is adamant, she is done with RHONJ.

RHONJcarolinegifCaroline leaving is problematic for me. Her “spin-off” Manzo’s With Children has not been greenlit as a series contrary to other reports.  She is filming a pilot. Big difference. No money is on the table at this time for any number of episodes beyond the pilot. It could end up being a one episode event. Given the fact that I seem to be the only person who enjoys the Manzos  I am not overly confident in the ratings leading to a full series.  With Dina on the show now, returning to the RHONJ would be highly unlikely unless the current sibling relationship changes dramatically. This worries me.

Kathy has been dropped to a friend of the housewife. She will be around with Rosie but is no longer a full-fledged housewife. Melissa Gorga and Teresa will continue their fambly drama for another season or until Teresa goes to prison.

So that is what is going to happen. Do you think Andy made the right adjustments?

    See when it was asked in comments yesterday/day before about the Caroline news I too was surprised since as you said, it’s too early for all that. I trust you/your source. I was already over the NJ show, not watching it this season and certainly wont watch next season if it’s just going to be more Teresa/Melissa. Also, I like Caroline and hope her pilot gets picked up. I’ll give it a watch whenever it airs.

      I know I was the one that subtlety told y’all about Caro, but I heard it much not be picked up. Are you sure it is too soon, because TT called out Sheree’s firing weeks before it was known to everyone after her missing the upfronts. I knew thy were negotiating because of an interview Mel did weeks ago.

        No, not at all. I was going through the comments on Thursday, and there was no mention on what happened to Caroline. I asked if anyone knew what happened to her and hinted that things will be different sooner or later, hiring at it. That is all.

I started to reiterate my point above so lemme just say, reread my post that you replied to. And you really didn’t tell us anything about Caroline (is it really that hard to type 4 more letters?!). You mentioning her made me go on a search and other sites told me what I found and then TT verified it with her trusted source.

      Thanks for the tea Tamara that explains alot and all the information about Dina coming back. Remember Teresa made comment the reason why Dina isn’t talking to Caroline is because she was backstabbed by Caroline (She supported Jax and her crazy ways when she was going after Dina online and in the show).

        Why do Dina a Jaqueline hate each other? I’m gald J is out. She’s so boring. The woman has no brains and no spine. I can’t believe she is so torn up about Teresa and her not being friends. Can’t the woman make any new ones? Why is she so terrified of Teresa? J has become so weird; she’s so fake, says trite idiotic things, acts happy when it is obvious she is miserable. The woman has a whole new face. I thought they were in financial trouble. Her husband is creepy too.She seems terrified.

    #TeamDina all the way. She doesn’t trust Bravo and for good reason… Unlike Melissa/Kathy, she’s not going to go on the show in order to destroy Caroline/Jac’s reputations, because they do a good enough job themselves. I totally respect Dina’s decision to not sign back on unless her family got the axe. Karma’s a bigger bitch than Dina could ever be to her nasty sisters.

    Bravo has been protecting Jac/Caroline since season 1, but Dina resonates with the viewers as well. I’m glad we won’t see them on our screens anymore. I agree T, I don’t think Caroline’s show is gonna do well, especially with her name getting dragged through the mud these days, and with Dina there, she won’t be able to return to RHONJ…

    Best RHONJ news I’ve heard in quite some time! ^_^

      I do not like Dina. She lied about outing Danielle’s book while Caroline tried to take the blame, but I believed Jacklyn when she called Dina in her lie. Dina reminds me of a person who will stab you in the back to get her way. She did it to Danielle to get rid if her. What kind of reson falls out with their family like Dina has? There are always two sides to every story but more than one estrangement makes one very suspicious. I will not watch RHONJ if she is a part of it..

    WOW I just now left a post on another blog doubting the rumors of a Dina return! I”ll be really surprised if Dina comes back, and sick if Teresa agrees to continue the G on G crime for TV.

    I’m worried that Caroline’s show WILL be picked up. There are a lot of Teresa haters who might just enjoy a Teresa-less NJ show. And Caroline does have fans, tho I can’t understand why-sorry lol. That could be decent numbers to keep it alive. I bet the Manzos have a nice little run.

    Thank goodness for herself and her kids that Jac won’t be back. She just might break twitter though because of it.

      @mamacita, my windows vista (got it in 2008) just died on me and my repair person replaced the hard drive with win.7 (which I guess is the next level above vista). I mention this only because I’m hearing so many horror stories about win.8 So far the w-7 is working ok (if I don’t junk it up with a lot of games and shopping sites like before:( But anyway, I know we’re supposed to be responding to the demise of the poor crayzo Jacqueline L. In my opinion she needs to go (and get a lot of rest, stay away from twitter and any other social media) I remember Dina as kind of boring but didn’t realize she and Jac did not get along. Oh well I’m sure Bravo and Andy will come up with some little clever family drama twist to keep us watching.

    I’m okay with Caroline, the only reason why I was over seeing her on TV was because they kept showing her viper of a daughter on the show. I didn’t think she would be on the next season because it seems the dynamic of her marriage is changing a bit and she seems like a pretty private person. Good riddens to Jacqueline.

    I will always be loyal to family no matter how mad I get. Requiring her sister in law to be fired as a condition of her employment speaks volumes to me about Dina’s character ( if it is true ). Italians have a saying “everyone eats”. Hurting your family’s finances like that is taboo behavior. There must be some kind of payback going on here. I think the entire cast should be replaced and Bravo should do a legal woes miniseries on Teresa.

    I thought I read somewhere a long time ago that the rift between Dina and her brother Chris, was because he used to be engaged to one of her friends and then he was cheating on her with Jacqueline and the rift between Dina and Caroline was due to Caroline’s hubby and her former husband and something about the Brownstone, since they own it together. I watched the clip where Caroline was blaming it on Teresa and I really don’t believe that.

    I’m guessing since Dina had no children with her hubby that her settlement was not that great and she can use the money now. I think she will be the Lisa Vanderpump of RHONJ. I like Caroline, but she hasn’t had a story line in years. I am so over her kids. I can’t imagine her show with those wastrels will be that popular. Also how long could Caroline go before Bravo brings up all the rumors about Albert and his girlfriend.
    If things are as bad for Teresa as is being reported, I imagine we will be seeing more of her on Nancy Grace than RHONJ.
    I like Kathy, but she added nothing to the show and her hubby is gross. I do like Rosie, she adds a lot of humor to a very bleak show.

I mean Chris and Caroline are siblings. Chris works with the BLK things. It will not make it more interesting but it just seems like an obvious transition to me.

    Dina was featured on oprahs show where are they now about her decision to walk away from reality tv. She was pretty convincing about her disdain for the genre. Based on that interview I doubt she would ever consider a return to the rhonj.

    I like Jacqueline ~ I think she’s basically a really nice person ~ maybe this just isn’t the show for her. Also, she doesn’t exploit her son ~ she’s trying to help others who have autistic children. I’m sure the majority of know next to nothing about autism, so don’t judge!

        vaccinations are not bad. what needs to be done is administer them STAGGERED. giving 3 shots at once is bad. and no sick child should be vaccinated as their immune system is already working on fighting the cold virus or infection.

      As a grandparent of an autistic child, my opinion is that she does exploit her son. We who deal with autism on a daily basis already know the struggles. Jacqueline, Caroline and Kathy have all said that Jac has her hands full and then they show Nick having a temper tantrum. That is exploitation and if she had a fucking clue she would know not to upset an autistic childs schedule and she does that every time she has her son filmed – yeah like that’s on his daily things to do list.

So I think they need to fire 1 of those two in order for the show to change. Since Tre isn’t getting canned – Mel just needs to get the ax by default. I can’t stand another season of we hate each other but lets point fingers & try to blame the other.

    She was less interesting than Kathy and had nothing going for her. She was only there that long because Caroline was there. The way that she got fired was more than shocking, Dina was an even bigger bitch than I thought for doing that. I think Mel is gonna be the only one that moves on to S6.

    I thought Dina was a tad cocky, then way too sensitive when called out on what she actually said and did. But, it will be very interesting to see how she interacts with Melissa, unless Melissa just kisses her a++, just a guess. Melissa now has no allies even fake ones.
    Guess we’ll have a whole season of the Gorga’s still defending themselves and/or blaming Teresa for all the “lies” about their past. I specifically remember when they were in AZ, Joe Gorga telling Teresa that what’s being said and printed had way too many facts and accusing her of spilling those beans. That was interesting.
    And, I don’t dislike Caroline and family either. I wish her luck, and I’ll watch if her show get’s greenlit. Too bad the 3 Manzo siblings couldn’t do this together on RHONJ

        Word on the street was that the “horrible thing” Caroline cried over at the S1 reunion which Danielle had supposedly did to Dina was contact her ex. Allegedly, Dina had forged his signature to get Lexie to appear on the show, and Danielle told him that. That’s also supposedly the real reason Lexie didn’t appear on the second season. I don’t think it was ever confirmed one way or another, though.

      When I was growing up, I was very religious ( Baptist) and in HS we would go on mission trips on a bus from like Atlanta to Lake Placid. It’s a long trip and there was a lot of conversation about entertainment and movies and stuff. There was one girl, let’s call her Michelle because that was her name, who always pretended to know the latest movies. No matter what you said, she had seen it and had an opinion. So once, when the bus stopped we all decided to make a movie name we had seen.

      Oh yes, Michelle had seen it too, in fact she went to the Premiere! It was super glamourous and she had VIP tickets because her Daddy knew someone! She had an autographed picture of the breakout star (we made up).

    And I’m not so sure I’d categorize this as Dina getting anyone fired. It is just that she didn’t want to be on with Jacqueline. Bravo had their choice. They chose Dina. Maybe because Dina is more interesting. Maybe because Jacqueline had become a liability and a bore. Either way, they chose.

    Amen! Prayers have been answered! Wacko Jacko is gone!! it really bothered me that she exploited her child for the Almighty Buck..it’s one thing to bring awareness to autism and I suppose on one level she did but to me she was parading that kid like a windup doll. Caroline? eh she used to be my favorite Jersey housewife til last season ugh! talk about mountains out of molehills..she has kind of worked her way back into liking her this season but you can tell she’s had it..she kinda phoning it in…a manzo spinoff? I will pass especially since her classless cow of a daughter will be part of it…I can stand that bitch! I hope Vito tells her to take a flying leap. So Kathy and Rosie friends of the housewives? I hope Bucky beaver fishlip Richie isn’t on..he’s probably crying his eyes out he’s not a housewife anymore! I can’t staff Kathy either a royal passive aggressive bitch! talk about jealousy of Teresa..she is big time…I hope that this is meho and stumpys last season I am so over those two and can’t believe Bravo and NBC would have the couple on their network that says basically in their book natural rape OK a OK! SMH And YAY for Dina coming back! OK that is my two cents!

      For whatever reason the fact that Lauren got an effing lap band to lose 30lbs REALLY rubs me the wrong way. Wa Wa Waing about how she just can’t lose the weight, blah blah blah….When basically she didn’t want to work out/eat right and knew her mom/dad would get her the surgery to shut her ass up. Now she acts like she’s a damn Victoria’s Secret model! All three of those kids are delusional.

    I’ve never been a fan of Dina’s, I found her to be boring, but I thought Lexi was adorable and her laugh was contagious.

    I will miss Caroline. I’m sure she doesn’t mind leaving the show, this is an assumption on my part, and am sure she has plenty to keep her busy.

    There is a whole lot of mean going around in the comment section. You’re all pretty, not need to fight. 🙂

    This is a bit off topic but I just want to through this out there. I have been blocked by JacLaurita on Twitter for some time now. It seems that she does not agree with me that exploiting her autistic child and autism in general is in poor taste. JacLaurita also does not agree with me that stealing from charities is despicable. Occasionally, I look at her TL on Twitter. Yesterday, I discovered that almost every Retweet with a response from JacLaurita is FAKE. I reviewed RT’s for the past 6 days and with the exception of possibly 2 RT’s, all appear to be constructed by JacLaurita herself. She makes the RT’s look as though she is responding to a real person (in some cases she is) but she will add a fictitious last name ex: @mary Smith. When you click on @mary, it is actually a @mary Williams and she has created zero tweets let alone a tweet to JacLaurita. Notice JacLaurita’s RT’s, she almost always puts a last name of the person she is tweeting. So when the person receives her fictitious tweet, the unsuspecting person just thinks it was sent to the wrong person. Many RT’s go to “protected accounts”, therefore, the recipient never receives the tweet. Some RT’s go to accounts that only tweet in Chinese or Spanish. Some accounts do not even exist at all. She just makes up a name with @ sign in front (not in blue) They are ALL phony retweets. Here is an example: From: @JacLaurita “Always!XO [email protected] M @jacLaurita thank u for sharing ur challenges w/us on your show. U r educating & bringing awareness about autism2so many”. Fiona has not tweeted since 9/20/13 and she has NEVER tweeted to JacLaurita. NOTE: notice the “M” after @Fiona’s name? The “real” Fiona’s last name begins with an “L”.
    These fictitious RT’s go on and on. Unsuspecting people subtweet on these RT not knowing they are fake. She is not breaking any laws (well as far as Twitter goes she isn’t) but she is self-tweeting what an awesome autism advocate she is and the tweets are fake and it is appalling. If she was “really” an advocate for autism, would she have to make up tweets. She exploits autism on national TV and she exploits autism on Twitter. I have 2 grandsons with autism and this goes against everything the Autism Foundation believes in. I don’t have my own blog or website or you could rest assured that I would be all over this. People, especially these parents of autistic children who are looking to the wrong person for help and guidance, need to know that she is a fraud!!!!! Rant is over!!! I will not be silenced!!!

Sounds like the inside of her brain is an absolute insane asylum, and I swear I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if she winds up in one. How can Chris be married to her?!?

How can Chris (who seems somewhat sane) put up with her. & why? I really liked Jacs during the 1st 2 seasons. Funny to think of the difference between how these ladies came across back then & how they seem now.

    I like the Manzos. Yes, including Lauren. I like the relationship they have with each other. You can tell their family gatherings are full of laughs. Sometimes at others, but also at themselves. Jaq I am kind of “muh” on. I probably wouldn’t notice she was gone until the third or fourth episode. I am also “muh” on Dina. I never found her that interesting. I guess it is because I am not into psychics or saging (or whatever that is called). Plus I always got the impression that she married her husband only for money. Not sure why, since we never saw the guy, but that was the vive I got.

    I thought the rift in the Laurita clan was because Dina wanted Danielle ousted from the cast, and when that didn’t happen, she wanted all of them to walk off the show. Caro’s and Jaq refused, leaving Dina as the only one quitting. To Dina, they chose fame whoring over family.

    This would explain the satisfaction she would get from having Jaq ousted as a condition of her return.

Melissa and Joe need to go, they’re so fake! Keep Kathy and the fam, they’ll fill in as the honest people of the group because the lies that are bound to come from T & JJ with recent legal issues will need counterbalanced.

    • tamaratattles says

      It’s exploitation because she made it her storyline. Autistic kids need to be on a structured schedule without strangers showing up late at night shining TV camera lights in their face because mommy is home from a several day trip to Hollywood to get cosmetic surgery. It’s exploitation because having a child on the autism means you need to be hyper vigilant about their needs and treatment and diet and not on twitter 24/7 pushing BLK water as a cure for anything, but focusing on your child. You need to be interacting with BOTH of your kids rather than buying shoes and playing in makeup and putting on pretty dresses to be on camera. You need to be checking out the program where your child spends 8 hours a day and making sure you are aware of the skills he is being taught so you can reinforce them at home. It’s exploitive. Sorry. Has nothing to do with hiding anyone’s disability. I put mine right out there on front street. We all need to embrace the hand we are dealt. But sadly Nick’s diagnosis is all about how it effects Jacqueline. And that is very sad.

        Yes. I am aware of what it takes to raise an autistic child. I also manage to wear makeup, buy shoes, and wear pretty dresses. Not really sure of the correlation… I am also aware that these “reality” shows only show us a little bit of the lives of the cast members. I was unaware that a little comment on this blog would result in such a tirade. I have successfully unfollowed. I would suggest that you rename your blog to something more appropriate so people understand the purpose is to bash Jacqueline and facts are not important.

Dina has decided to break off all contact from Danielle and Jacqueline has just had her baby. We get to watch everyday so are rattling through the episodes at breakneck speed.

Gangster’s Moll and one (+ other half) out on bail charged with serious crimes. Hmm. Whilst watching it’s easy to forget that nothing happens on this, or other similar shows, that is not manipulated by the producers, I can’t begin to imagine what will happen to RHONJ if at least 4 housewives have or might vanish from our screens. Can there possibly be any more disastrous ‘housewives’ living in New Jersey who would dare make an appearance? RHONJ seems to be slightly cursed does it not?

They all deserve each other. Kathy’s too nice to be an “occasional guest” as they claim she will be. Where these gals get their money is from the BLOOD of the Mafia. UGH!!! disgusting. Dina came back because of her expected divorce and financial issues she’s having. I’d bet she having an affair with some producer of the show. Otherwise I find it so difficult that she had the “power” to make a “deal” with them to throw Caroline & Jacqueline off of the show. I will NEVER watch again.
