'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 6's Dina Manzo Had Jacqueline Laurita Fired, Says Source [REPORT]
Jaqueline Laurita has been rumored to not be coming back to the next season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and a new report claims that returning cast member Dina Manzo is responsible for her exit.
A source revealed in the latest print edition of InTouch that when Manzo was offered an opportunity to return to the reality show, she reportedly told the network, "'Jacqueline has to go, too. It's her or me.'"
A show insider told InTouch that Manzo-- who previously appeared in seasons 1 and 2--her cousin Caroline Manzo and Laurita are not speaking to each other. Dina quit filming the show after season 2 only because she could not get Caroline and Laurita off the program.
"Dina started it because she wanted Caroline and Jacqueline to quit the show when she left [in 2010]," a show source told InTouch. "They didn't, so this is her way of getting back at them."

Laurita told InTouch why she believes Dina does not want her on the show when she returns.
"I understand why Dina wouldn't want me on the show: She doesn't want to address family issues on-camera!"
All Things Real Housewives confirmed in an earlier report that Dina "officially signed on with Bravo for the new season."
Another show insider reportedly described Dina's return to The Huffington Post as the "onion [being] unpeeled next season on RHONJ."
Dina's daughter Lexi hinted that she has also signed on for season 6 to a recent Instagram post. She shared a blurry Instagram image that showed several documents on a desk. She captioned the photo: "Guess what I'm signing..."
