Caroline Manzo responded to tweets shared by Brandi Glanville in regard to what went down between them amid filming on Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip season four while appearing on Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp‘s podcast last week.
Following claims that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum harassed Caroline, touching her in inappropriate areas and kissing her, the former Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member spoke of her recent Twitter posts before revealing if she’d return to RHONJ and sharing fans’ “biggest misconception.
“I’m the most easygoing person alive,” Caroline insisted on the April 7 episode of Two T’s in a Pod. “I don’t give a lot to the cameras because we, I think as housewives, we all have a little bit of PTSD that you don’t know what’s going to happen so you’re very, very reserved.”
“I’m not the monster they say I am,” she added.
According to Caroline, she sings and dances with her family but would never do so on Bravo due to a moment she watched play out with Ramona Singer.
“Years ago, they did that to Ramona. She was dancing — and she probably was dancing fine — but they put this music to her that she looked like a freaking a–. And I’m like … ‘I’m not gonna do that because I don’t know what they’re gonna do with it,’” Caroline explained.
Appearing on RHONJ wasn’t the best experience for Caroline. So, it wasn’t too surprising to hear that she said, “never, never, never,” when asked about returning. That said, she did say there was one thing that would make her consider.
“Over the years, multiple times, I’ve been asked, this last season being one of them,” she revealed. “[But] I walked away for a reason. For me to go back, it would have to be something that was… a number that was financially irresponsible to walk away from. Financially irresponsible. Like how do you walk away? And I’ve been offered a lot of money in the real world, I guess, but it’s just never anything that was worth it to me to go back to that.”
Regarding Brandi’s tweets, Caroline admitted that she hadn’t seen them as Teddi and Tamra filled her in about the messages, which claimed the two of them were both “intoxicated” at the time the supposed incident occurred and suggested she’d been “set up.”
“This was very traumatic for me,” Caroline replied. “This is a really large onion with a lot of layers and I guess it’ll play out. That statement’s disappointing to me. I don’t want to talk too much about it cuz I’m going through a lot with it and I’m processing it all.”
In one tweet, Brandi told her fans and followers she was “f-cking sick of this narrative.”
“I was hired for a [second] season of [RHUGT] cuz they LOVED what I did on [first] season I was told to bring the party just like before & that’s exactly what I did [and] I was punished for it. It feels like a fucking set up. It’s BS [and] Caroline was fine,” she wrote.
Then, after saying she hadn’t talked to Brandi and confirming the investigation is “over,” Caroline revealed if she’d appear on another season of RHUGT with a different cast.
“Never. No. Never, never, never,” she declared.
A premiere date for Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip season four has not yet been set.
