Kendall Jenner has an issue with crowds, not people. During the Oct. 20 episode of Hulu's The Kardashians, the 818 Tequila founder hit back at the misconception she's a "mean girl," revealing that...Real Housewives of New Jersey has always been about family. Or famb-ily, depending on who you are talking to. But as we’ve seen over and over again, both on RHONJ and other franchises, reality TV easily gets in the way. So when it was reported that the long time feud between Teresa Giudice, brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga was reignited, no one was really surprised. And that includes former castmate (and former Tre friend) Caroline Manzo.
While at BravoCon, Caroline told Page Six her thoughts on the latest falling out between Teresa and her family. Said Caroline,“[It’s] inevitable, tragic, sad.” She added, “The kids suffer in a very public way. And I just think it’s very sad.”
While filming the most recent season of RHONJ, Teresa, Joe and Melissa had it out when a rumor was spread at the season finale. An insider claimed that Teresa repeated a rumor that would “cause drama” in the Gorga marriage. Because of it, Joe and Melissa opted to skip Teresa’s wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
Days after the drama, Joe took to an episode of Melissa’s On Display podcast. He shared, “I’m just shocked at the way I’m treated by my own family, my blood. That’s what kills me. Every day, you have to live a life like that.”
Back to Caroline, she can definitely relate to all the family drama stemming from being on RHONJ. She hasn’t spoke with sister Dina Manzo in years. And they likely won’t start anytime soon. Dina’s ex-husband, Tommy Manzo, was charged in connection to a violent home invasion that left Dina and her now- husband zip tied, beaten and robbed. Instead of supporting her sister and blood, Caroline wrote a letter to the court vouching for her brother-in-law. Can you say worst sister ever?
Clearly, Caroline wants to get back on TV one way or another. One, by attending BravoCon to begin with (why was she invited?) and two, for asserting that she wants to go back just to “knock the s–t out of” Teresa. The mom of three said in May, “I’m just gonna put it out there ’cause I just don’t give a f–k, all right? You know what? I would get great pleasure. To go in and just knock the s–t out of [Teresa] verbally and just put her in her place.”
She’s now backtracking on that statement. Caroline told Page Six, “Nothing [will happen]. I’ll say hello to her. Easy. We’re adults. Act like an adult.” She concluded, “There’s always hope. A fool says never.”

Season one of Peacock's One of Us Is Lying centered around a murder mystery. But in season two, the characters must keep a new murder a mystery to everyone else. The Murder Club—a.k.a. Addy...
Meghan Markle is ready to put her story on the small screen. Amid rumors that Meghan and Prince Harry are requesting major edits on their Netflix docuseries following Queen Elizabeth II's death,...Even though the family drama between Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga has never settled down — Gia Giudice is revealing that she’s still in touch with her uncle and his wife, Melissa Gorga.
BravoCon 2022 was packed full of goodness. Exclusive tidbits and so much more have filled the Housewives social media sphere with just too much to keep up with. In case you missed it, a while back, Teresa revealed she was done trying to reconcile with Joe and Melissa. This revelation came after the couple skipped Tre’s wedding to Luis Ruelas after an alleged brawl took place during the filming of the upcoming season.
After that, both Tre and the Gorgas have gone back and forth online dropping little pieces of information about where the two stand today. Melissa revealed she’s ready to say goodbye to toxic situations — many fans hoping she was announcing her departure from the Bravo series.
At BravoCon — Joe gave a statement revealing the drama between him and his sister is “ruining” his life and he wants to put it behind him. It was also revealed that both Joe and Gia ignored each other in NYC while at the event.
On that, Gia spoke with Page Six and shared, “We don’t really talk as much now, but it’s OK. I’m sure we’ll move forward somehow,” she said. “I texted my uncle for [his] birthday just out of respect — and for the holidays. He texted back just like, ‘Thank you.'”
“Honestly, the biggest thing I want is for whatever happens between them to not affect my cousins and I,” she said. “[What happens] between my mom and uncle, that’s between them. My cousins and I are good. We still talk here and there. We’re good.”
Gia promises that with the newest season of RHONJ airing soon, fans can expect to see her play a big part in the upcoming 13th season.
“I kind of stayed behind the scenes with what was happening between my mom and my uncle,” she told Page Six. “It’s just about [seeing] our side on a more personal level, and I think that’s really what the fans are going to see.”

It’s been nearly a month since the finale of The Bachelorette (has it been that long already?) — or as co-lead Gabby Windey called it the “big fat dumpster.” Meanwhile, her co-star Rachel Recchia is picking up what’s left of her self-esteem and attempting to move on with her life.
“I’m not actively trying to date at all, but I do feel like I’m not in a position where I’m, like, so broken that I need months to heal. That’s the consensus I’ve seen online — ‘she needs to heal,'” Rachel admitted. “I’m OK. I’ve been doing the work. And I’ve been broken up with [Tino] since before you guys knew. So I do feel like I am in the spot where I do want that, but I’m not, like, on the dating apps . . . I don’t want to start doing that yet. Because it’s so sad to me that’s where I’m at, honestly . . . Going [two] full seasons and then to end up right back where you started? That’s where it’s frustrating.”
While Rachel confessed that she would be the Bachelorette again if she was guaranteed to find her person, the season 11 co-lead quipped, “If I was single and they said they’d pay me a million dollars to do it. I don’t know if I could do it again,” US Magazine reported.
Following her disastrous appearance on the Bachelorette finale, Rachel talked about how hard it was to watch herself make so many “dumb” mistakes on-screen.
“It’s crazy how watching yourself back, like, forces you to grow and learn. And watching myself back, I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, I made so many mistakes,'” Rachel said. “And I so badly want to stand there [and] be like, ‘I was perfect, I stand by my decisions.’ I watched myself be so dumb — over and over and over again. And I’m like, ‘You have to learn something from that.’ So it has been a learning experience, for sure. And there’s so many things I feel like I can take from it. If it’s not a relationship, at least just like lessons for the next one.” The next one?!
When asked what she would tell her past self, Rachel shared a similar sentiment about making mistakes.
“I would go back to, like, right when The Bachelor ended, because I feel like, at that point, I had, like, no direction. I had no idea what was happening. I would just be like, it’s OK.’ And then also be like, ‘Don’t be a dumbass on your own season. Get your s—t together!'” she confessed. “I feel like I could have went back and told myself so much — like night one, I wish I could just whisper in my ear and just be like, ‘Don’t.’ Period.”
After it came out that Rachel had started following Katie Thurston’s former Bachelorette contestant Greg Grippo on Instagram, the flight instructor admitted, “I would definitely flirt with Greg . . . I followed him and then he followed me back.”
Greg was a competitor on Season 17 of The Bachelorette, but left voluntarily during episode 7. He said at the time, “It felt, like, a little too scripted and felt like, ‘Alright, we need to play by [the rules]’ — I had no problem going into, like, the fantasy suite and there being two other guys there. I wasn’t looking for the show to end. I wasn’t at all. I wanted us to communicate on a mutual level in those moments.” He also admitted to not feeling a “mutual love” with Katie at the time.
Sounds like he just wants to date and get to know someone away from the cameras and all the “rules.” Jump in there, Rachel! You just never know until you try.

Tom Schwartz isn’t the only one getting their groove back after the slew of Vanderpump Rules breakups that took place since Season 9.
In March, Tom and Katie Maloney took to Instagram to confirm their divorce after 3 years of marriage and a 12-year relationship. Quickly, Tom was rumored to be hooking up with castmate Raquel Leviss on the low. Tom denies anything happened, but things didn’t stop there.
Tom and Raquel were later caught canoodling at Scheana Shay’s wedding which was filmed for Season 10. Katie was notably absent from the event. But according to Page Six, she’s baaaaack.
Katie is back in the game and dating again! During BravoCon 2022 on Saturday, she revealed that she even has a new main-man in her life. “There’s a guy who’s, like, 25 that I’ve been hanging with. It’s fun,” she said. Katie maintains that her new relationship is nothing serious. I just want to know if we will be getting a pic of this youngster.
“Single girl Katie is having a good time,” Katie said of herself during the exclusive. “It’s just casual. It’s just fun. I haven’t been single since I was 24, and the landscape is totally different.”
Katie shared that she initially tried to move on from Tommy Boy by downloading the membership-based private dating app, Raya. She moved on after she was turned away.
“They waitlisted me, so I thought, ‘This was a sign,’” she explained. “Instagram works. You can just slide in some DMs. That’s what’s up. Instagram is kind of a dating app. Also, all the guys are kind of, like, young. But that’s kind of fun, too.”
Katie and Tom finalized their divorce in recent weeks. When they announced their split in March, Katie cheesily wrote, “This ending is not met with resentment or animosity, no sides to choose. Although we may be on different paths we will continue to love and support one another’s happiness.”
Schwartz also reflected on the good times in his marriage announcing, “I’m telling you we had some of the most blissful, romantic, fun times humanely possible over the course of our relationship. I’m talking heaven on earth level joy.” I’m so sure.

There’s no debate. He put the charm in Southern Charm. Who didn’t love Michael the Butler? He may be the single most unifying man to ever hit the Bravo screen. He induced labor by rubbing pregnant women’s feet, drove a Bently through the McDonald’s drive-through, and had a cocktail to spare at a moment’s notice. There could never be another.
Michael worked for Patricia Altshul for nearly 20 years before he suffered a spinal cord stroke in February of 2021. He hasn’t been back to film since that time, though Whitney Sudler-Smith and Pat have given updates on his progress from time to time.
Nine months after his stroke, Patricia reported that Michael’s recovery was still far from over. She announced that the former butler would soon be transferred to an interim assisted living in order to continue with his therapies and rehabilitation.
Over the weekend, Patricia attended the Sunday Southern Charm panel at BravoCon 2022 in New York City. According to People, she reported to the attendees that Micheal remains paralyzed from the waist down, though he has made several strides over the last 22- months.
“He is paralyzed from the chest down. I sent him to the Shepherd Center, which is the foremost center for spinal cord strokes,” Patricia shared. “They rehabilitated him to the point where he can drive a van. He’s living in an assisted living care facility with nurses, which he requires. He’s in Sarasota, Florida, close with family, so they’re there to take care of him on a daily basis.”
Pat assured everyone that Michael still has his “wonderful attitude.” She told fans, “He’s on Instagram, so send him messages on Instagram, that would be really nice.” Patricia shared that Michael “loves Southern Charm fans.”
“He used to stand out in the front of my house making up chores to do because I have fans around my house all the time. He loved to give garden tours and take pictures — so send him a message, that would be really nice.”
Patricia also encouraged fans to share some love on Michael’s 69th birthday that as earlier this month on Instagram.
