Dina posted a blog about her relationship with Tre et al.
Quote:
 
A lot of you are wondering why in the world I would film with Teresa after staying away from the housewives for so long. Let me first say that I’ve gone to every single one of Teresa’s parties that I’ve been invited to, most of which the cameras were NOT rolling. When Teresa asked me to attend the fabellini launch my first question was “will there be cameras there?” She said yes, but you can come after they leave”…as I have done in the past. But that’s not where it ended…



(What most of you don’t know and you can choose to believe this or not, but up until the night of the deck debacle and Teresa showed up at my doorstep crying, I had no idea that she was even fighting with Caroline and Jacqueline, that’s how much I stayed out of that bullshit and even after that night I had no idea of the extent of the hate until I watched it live with all of you)
Now back to the fabalini launch…I showed up 2 1/2 hours late hoping the cameras would already be gone (I know that it was naive of me) I was promised that I didn’t have to be mic’d at first, just show that I was there to support Teresa. When I arrived one of the producers took me aside and explained to me that Teresa was really taking a beating this season and needed some much needed “on air” support. As a friend I felt bad for her, as a human being I never like to see anyone standing alone (I was always that girl in the lunch room who went to sit with the loner in the corner of the cafeteria) It is also why I was so quick to forgive Danielle at the reunion. I don’t like when Everyone is against one person and I certainly don’t like to see this happen to someone I care about.
Teresa has always supported me and has especially always supported Project Ladybug. She has come to every charity event I have ever asked her to and never complained taking this time out of her crazy schedule to help me. At the time I was even under the impression she was doing celebrity apprentice for ladybug. In the end she chose another worthy foundation, was I disappointed at first??? Absolutely, but she explained to me how she met this beautiful little boy with a rare disease and it really hit home for her. Now how can I be mad at her for helping a sick child? I was proud of her for giving a foundation that i was told had no prior national exposure a platform. BUT I would be lying if I also didn’t feel a bit obligated to be there for her “on air” too because of this. I would cut off my right bubbie for these kids and one quick scene on housewives didn’t seem that bad at the time…Boy was I wrong, do not mix booze with raw emotions…let me first explain that 90% of our convo was about her brother and Melissa. That is where the “blood is thicker than water” comment came in. Think about it, does it make sense that Teresa would bring that up about her and Caroline’s relationship?? You guys are smarter than that…
Now from my understanding this scene was shot AFTER even the reunion and things with her brother was worse than ever. I was explaining to Teresa that blood is NOT always thicker than water when her brother has to get in bed with his WIFE every night and not her….and we all know (unfortunately) about Joe Gorga’s poison. Water wins in this case every time! TRUST ME!!
So here I am giving Teresa advice to just give her brother his space then she brings up my sister…did you see the look on my face? I was pissed but before you go getting mad at T I’m sure the producers convinced her this was a good idea, I could be mad at her but I understand the position she was in. I also understood via text from Jacqueline that I was a topic of not only season 3′s reunion that was just filmed but throughout season 4 as well. A part of me felt I should say my peace and I was pissed I was even brought up, I don’t know who did it and at this point I don’t even care. I had also had a few fabellinis on an empty stomach after a LONG day of shooting for HGTV and there was a lot of hurt off camera with my family who is on the show. So I went ahead and said how I felt about the joke in the book. Do I regret talking about it on camera? Was it wrong of me?? Yes yes yes… But it’s done and I can’t take it back. I should have walked away but I didn’t. I do feel that this book nonsense is all that -nonsense…but I regret talking about it on film.
Ok… It’s now Sunday night, I wrote this before I saw the last reunion tonight…I still feel the same about regretting filming but I DO NOT feel bad about defending Teresa, I know what it’s like to be on the other end of something like this and I don’t think it’s cool and for the record AGAIN She had nothing to do with my issues with my family in fact as I said before my issues stem back all the way from season 1. Teresa and the girls were buddy buddy up until last year, so please stop saying I chose her over my family…it’s really annoying. I would also like to say that I have 11 siblings…my family does not consist of just who is on this show and yes I do talk to the other 9 and I’m quite close to many of them and my parents. So enough with thinking I will die alone please…


I will publicly say I think they ALL handled this wrong…I begged some of the players (I won’t go into who) to just respond with kindness and all this will end. But I understand how emotions can get the best of you…they did tonight after I watched the show. I do wish all this could end, I don’t like seeing people especially WOMEN and FAMILY fight like this. If you can’t get along with someone or you feel that they just don’t like you…JUST STAY AWAY. Well at least that’s what works for me, you can completely FORGIVE people for how they treated you but it doesn’t mean you have to go back for more. Do you guys get it??? Thanks for listening~ Peace out

[snip] So my involvment with this and several Bravo shows is extensive but let me say this, Theresa had no knowledge or was involved with the Melissa set up. As you all heard, Kim D talks to Jacq quiet frequently, so she told Kim D why she felt Theresa and Melissa had so much beef. Our understanding from what Kim D told the producers is that Theresa confided a lot in her about why she felt her relationship with her brother was failing. Theresa told Jacq, that Melissa would start talking about her saying Theresa wants to see me fail or hates me because I reminder what she will never be or have. The comment that Jacq claims Theresa made about her being a striper comes from Theresa saying something like I almost wish she was so I could expose her. This is where Kim D light bulb went off. She went out of her way to find Angelo and place him there.

Theresa was told something was going down, she went as far as to say, please don't let it be about my husband. She really thought the drama would be with her. So when she heard Angelo spill the beans, she knew it was all going to come to her and she really had nothing that would make her look like she had nothing to do with it. Jacq was so upset with all of this also because she knew her comments would someday be told, which I am sure is what caused her "melt down" causing her to miss last seasons reunion.

Now what I can also confirm is that Melissa, from day one has wanted to be on the show and had several times pitched ideas to the producers of the show. So going back to my conversations Theresa and Jacq had and told Kim D about. All the shit stirring Theresa was getting wind of was drama spun by Melissa camp to get on the show. Theresa not being on her toes never realized it was all staged info to create the story line in order to replace Danielle.

Now the reason why Melissa won't let it go is because she knows, she has nothing else to hold Theresa to.

Now going back to the loose ends, Jacq friends with Kim G = drama with Theresa, Jacq friends with Danielle = drama with Theresa, Jacq friends with Kim D = drama for Theresa, Jacq friends with Melissa = drama for Theresa.

This [I think] is why Theresa would not discuss the aligations with Jacq over jail time because Theresa knew the one she would confide in was the one setting her up and I am sure she never did maliciously but Theresa knew the fox in the hen house was Jacq.

To conclude, the shit in the magazines that they all claim Theresa is actually put in there by the producers. Since these women have contracts with Bravo they are really not allowed to publish anything prior to the show airing or its a violation of their contract. [snip]

What was Howard's point? I don't get his reason for snipping.

I'm going back 2 pages. Even if Tre signed papers and didn't look which I have my husband do since he is almost blind - she was probably told to stop spending the damn money she was spending but she didn't for awhile. I'm not coming around to liking her. I think there was a legal reason they had to pull the bankruptcy. She lied about money she made from the book - I think the advance. If she didn't pull it she could go to jail. There is much more involved than her reason she gave "I want to pay all of my bills" No way she would have said that and it's kind of stupid if you are going bankrupt anyway. May as well get rid of all the bills.

So this woman knows so much about Teresa and she can't even spell her name correctly one time? Whatever

Dina is a famewhore. I believe half of what she says. I think she is trying to get out of a bind. I am liking her less and less and I kind of liked her on the show. Sure that's why she got a mic. I don't believe it for one second. Sorry just don't.

The one thing the poster said that I believe is that Bravo okays the magazine offers. Teresa said on Anderson or somewhere that the magazines are part of work or part of being on the show and that the other women know this.

Ccc, I think you are right that they pulled the bankruptcy filing because they were hiding assets - either Tre's book advance or properties that they didn't include. FWIW, I think they worked out payment plans with their creditors because we haven't seen anything about them being in debt lately. Tre gets a few hundred thousand from Bravo, Juicy gets a check too and then Tre got the Celeb Apprentice money. Put the cookbook money, Fabellini, Milania haircare and the teeth-whitening endorsement, then they do have enough money to at least make monthly payments to creditors. I think the bulk of their debt was mortgage debt on rental properties.

I think Dina left the show because she may have had an idea that things would disintigrate into the mess we have now. She knows the 3 main parties Caroline/Jax/Teresa. If she and Caroline were as close as we were lead to believe, she may have known Caroline's true feelings toward Tre. She knows Jax very well also. She wasn't happy when Jax maintained a friendship with Danielle long after Dina was finished with her. I suspect there were bad feelings between Dina and Jax, from before the show may have even started, if you recall the comments Jax threw out at the table flipping night regarding Dina being a liar. Caroline tried to cover it up but it was there. Jax/Dina issues? Could easily be the source of the Chris/Dina issues and add Caroline tossing her unwanted opinions in and I can see the current estrangement developing.
Dina has been adamant that Tre is not the source of the issues she has with her family. My only conclusion then is that there were deep fissures and cracks in the Laurita/Manzo relationships that go way back, same as the fissures and cracks in the Gorga/Guidice/Wakile relationships. The difference is that the first group doesn't talk about them publicly. BUT, with all that's going on and these people's taste for fame, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of the Laurita/Manzo in laws and out laws emerge from the shadows and start spilling family secrets. Lots of the Laurita's names appear in those bankruptcy filings.. it could be interesting.

Sounds a little bit like Dina likes to play "I'm not speaking to you!", too- in that she wasn't even speaking to teresa (and teresa didn't even know it!) until Teresa came to her after the deck ambush. Not saying she's WRONG not to speak to those 2 siblings- just she MIGHT be the type- I intimately know that type. And that's ok as long as you're genuinely ok with the possibility that despite a "relatively" young age- you MIGHT not be given time to ever reconcile. As long as you know that as you go on, then she should do whatever she wants. I think Dina is beautiful- but I was never a big fan. And I HATE her show :)

So what exactly does Dina's blog clear up? Sigh - if she really was above it, why give ANYTHING traction? I still think she left b/c she didn't want her skeletons exposed. Not b/c she's 'above it.' Never liked her, I mean I didn't hate her, but didn't find her interesting at all. Though I still laugh at her "wear me like last season's versace" TH b/c it was so true.

Ugh.

ETA- Howard's snips were most likely to change tone from stating fact to stating opinion. She's had a big bug up her butt about that lately I've noticed.

I didn't like Dina much either. Then she quit the show. Then she and Clownie started feuding. Then she came back and supported Tree. Now, I freaking LOVE her. Esp. that she tweets when the lies are being said on TV.

I think the "lies" are that Tre was the cause of the rift between the Lauritas.

I think the rift is all about Chris and Caroline not backing Dina up and staying on the show after she left.

I agree. She also likes to play the "You know what you did..." card that Caroline is expert at. Spill it, Dina. I think she's an ass for dangling carrots. How much more damage does she think she's going to do? And does she really even care? And if she does, why tweet little nuggets at all?

Either put up or shut up already.
