Caroline Manzo Slams ‘Fool’ Teresa Giudice … Denies Calling The IRS
Caroline Manzo has no problem making it none that she has no interest in squashing her beef with former friend and Real Housewives of New Jersey costar, Teresa Giudice.
In a recent interview on Jeff Lewis’s Sirius XM radio show, Jeff Lewis Live, the ex-Housewife had much to say about her former friend. Caroline explained how she was Teresa’s ride-or-die until the newlywed hinted that Caroline was one of the people who reported her and ex-Joe Guidice to the IRS.
Earlier this year, Teresa noted that a potential return for Caroline wouldn’t mix well with the current cast. “Oh my God. It doesn’t even go. She doesn’t even go with us,” Teresa said, claiming Caroline uses her for attention.
“Why is she always talking about me? I ain’t talking about you… You’re on the show. I’m not,” Caroline said to Jeff Lewis during the interview. “You’re talking about me calling the IRS … shut up! Stop it. You look ridiculous. You sound like a fool.”
The reality star denied having anything to do with Teresa’s past legal issues.
“First of all, I could NEVER do that,” Caroline said in an interview clip posted by allabouttrh. She further explained that she was Teresa‘s “biggest champion.”
“I used to hold her hand when she was doing press conferences and answer for her,” Caroline revealed. “She would call me for hours and [ask], ‘What do I say?’”

Following Teresa’s accusations, her friendship with Caroline began to decline. But when Teresa started going after Caroline with her “nonsense,” Caroline ended their friendship and stopped following Teresa on social media.
“I’m not going to answer you on social media because that is beneath me. I’m not thirsty,” Caroline snapped before sending a warning to Teresa. “You want me to come for you? I’ll come correct. The way I’m supposed to, with payment.”
In May, Caroline revealed that she wants to go back on The Real Housewives of New Jersey just to knock out Teresa. As reported, Caroline spoke her mind while appearing on her son’s Dear Albie podcast. During the May 18 episode titled “Caroline Manzo Out for Blood,” the Bravo alum opened up on how she feels about Teresa’s recent behavior on the show. The podcast’s host asked Manzo a question from a fan who wanted to know if she would be back on the Bravo show to straighten out Teresa once and for all.
Manzo responded, “I’m just gonna put it out there ’cause I just don’t give a f**k, alright? You know what? I would get great pleasure, fans, community, to go in and just knock the sh*t out of [Teresa] verbally and just put her in her place.” Caroline added that she was getting very annoyed with Teresa for always claiming Caroline had spearheaded her IRS claim that landed her in legal trouble.
The former RHONJ star said, “I am tired. I am tired of certain things. I am tired of her opening her very uneducated mouth and using me as a weapon to say that I was the one that spearheaded her IRS claim and stuff like that. We are not those people.” Caroline continued, “Sometimes you gotta smack the bully. I am more than happy to go smack the bully.”
When asked why she wasn’t already back on the Bravo show. Manzo revealed it is because the network can’t afford to pay her to come back. “Bravo doesn’t want to pay me. So guess what, Bravo? You don’t get this for free. You don’t get the dame for free, Bravo. They are paying Teresa, I’m sure, an exorbitant amount of money,” she said.
