Jackie Goldschneider hopes Caroline Manzo returns to 'RHONJ'
Jackie Goldschneider is in good company with wanting Caroline Manzo back on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Caroline was one of the founding cast members of the series and her large family captivated audiences. Between fighting with sister Dina Manzo to Caroline's children wreaking havoc onscreen (anyone else remember her sons trying to date?!), Caroline certainly had enough happening onscreen to warrant her spinoff series, Manzo'd With Children. Unfortunately for the RHONJ alum, it was short-lived. Per E! News, Caroline decided to step away from reality TV cameras to hide her husband Al Manzo's rumored infidelity.
By April 2019, Caroline wanted to come back to RHONJ. According to People, Caroline revealed on her son Albie Manzo's podcast that Bravo reached out to her with an offer to bring her on as a part-time "friend of a Housewife" to test how she fit in with the new cast. "It's very insulting," Caroline revealed. "It just makes me angry that you picked up and call me like I'm a fool." She added, "Pay me what I'm worth; you got an OG here."
Jackie certainly acknowledges Caroline's value to the series. Caroline and former costar Teresa Giudice have had a years-long feud, and Jackie wants some back-up when going head-to-head with Teresa. "Nobody goes up against her except me," Jackie told Hollywood Life. "I feel like the old school Jersey girls stood their ground." Jackie clarified that she has never met Caroline, but is a fan. One thing's for sure: Caroline's return definitely could shake up RHONJ!
