'The Real Houswewives of New Jersey' Season 5 Star Caroline Manzo Spinoff Show In The Works? (REPORT)
Bravo is reportedly giving The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo and her family their own spinoff show.
New York Post's Page Six column reported on Monday that Manzo, her husband Albert Manzo, and their children--Albie, Chris and Lauren--will get their reality show. The series will revolve around their life working at The Brownstone, the business that has been in their family for 40 years. Albert works at The Brownstone daily with his brother Tommy Manzo. The Brownstone is a lavish venue available for booking parties that also offer catering services in Paterson, New Jersey. It has been featured in TRHONJ.
One report suggests Bravo could be preparing a new reality show as a backup plan in the event Manzo's TRHONJ co-stars Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe Giudice does not return for season 6. The husband-and-wife team was indicted on 39 charges related to fraud on July 29.
Caroline appeared on Watch What What Happens Live on Aug. 4 and briefly discussed the Giudices indictment. She told the show's host Andy Cohen that when she learned the news she communicated wih Teresa that same day. She didn't reveal details about what they discussed via their mobile phones.
"I texted her the day of the indictment," Caroline revealed. "I just sent a message that I'll keep to myself and she did respond back and I'm going to keep that to myself as well."
Cohen asked Caroline if she could predict what she thinks might happen to the Giudices. She said it's such a "big deal" she couldn't even "wrap her head around it."
"I think, for me, the Manzo family; our position is just going to be to stay quiet because it is just too big and too serious for the peanut gallery. I'm just going to leave it at that," she said.
AllThingsRealHousewives reported on Aug. 6 that Caroline, who was rumored to not return to season 6, will definitely appear in the upcoming season.
