'Real Housewives of New Jersey' News: Caroline Manzo Leaves Reality TV Show
Bravo's hit reality series "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" will have one less housewife to follow in the upcoming season. Caroline Manzo is leaving the show, and she recently explained her decision.
She took to the Bravo TV blog to disccuss why she decided to leave the show.
"Over the past few years my outlook on the show has changed from something I couldn't wait to show my future grandchildren to something I hope my future grandchildren never see," she began. "I've always prided myself on being a good example for my children and my decision to leave is based on advice I've always given them: 'Be true to yourself and be proud of who you are, you are born with a name and you die with a name, don't dirty it up.'"
"Going back to film another season of Housewives would only make me a hypocrite," Manzo continued. "For me, peace and integrity cannot be bought with money or fame. I practice what I preach, and as I said on the reunion, I'm done. I simply feel that my role has run its course and I have nothing more to give."
Despite leaving "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," Manzo will still work with Bravo. She has a new show with the network entitled "Manzo'd with Children." She also wrote about her new show on the blog.
"We are having an absolute blast filming ['Manzo'd with Children'], and I hope you all join us as we start our new chapter within the Bravo network. We didn't close the book, we just turned the page," she added.
