As Caroline Manzo attempts to pardon ex-brother-in-law Thomas Manzo from jail time, fans are disappointed

Fans of Real Housewives of New Jersey commented on an Instagram post shared by Dina Manzo's friend and assistant- Luke McKibben.

The picture posted was of Caroline Manzo and Thomas Manzo, with a caption that says "Thicker than Thieves," referring to Caroline's evident support of Dina's former husband despite being charged with being a co-conspirator of ex-wife's house invasion in May 2017.

Some of the comments that fans said were:

"You need to support your sister,"

"How could you do that to dina???"

"Blood is thicker than water... or so you said. Sad you aren't supporting your sister after what that animal did to her."

Luke captioned the post itself with "Tea Time," and followed it up with a lengthy description of how he witnessed Dina staying silent and taking the "high road" all these years while wanting to speak up and defend her.

Meanwhile, the victim herself also replied in the comments saying, "I'm starting to think some just expect us to stay quiet while they continue to hurt others... that's what gives them that 'power,'" while repeating how one should not "take kindness for weakness."
