Caroline And Bravo Working Together To Get Her Deposition Taken Down
Article from Reality Tea.
According to a new report, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo is not happy that her deposition video has leaked online.
Just days after TMZ posted the video, which shows Caroline admitting she gave Bravo an ultimatum that she would not return to the show if Danielle Staub did, Zap2It is reporting today that Caroline is fighting to get the video taken off the net. Wonder why?
“As for false statement out there saying her truck was repossessed this weekend … the lease was up and she turned it in … plain and simple,” claims Danielle’s rep. Riiiight.

Wonder why?Zap2It reports that sources close to Caroline tell them she’s working with Bravo to try and get the video pulled, though she’s uncertain TMZ will cooperate.
As for the reason Caroline wants the video off the web, a source says it’s not because she doesn’t stand by what she said or that she’s scared of Danielle, but rather because she wants the “Danielle Drama” over with and completely out of her life.
In other NJ news, days after Life&Style broke the story of Danielle Staub’s Range Rover getting repossessed, a rep for the fired Bravo housewife is now denying the story to HollywoodLife, claiming the story is “untrue.”“As for false statement out there saying her truck was repossessed this weekend … the lease was up and she turned it in … plain and simple,” claims Danielle’s rep.

Caroline Is Annoyed About Her Deposition Being Leaked
Article from Zap2It.
By Jethro Nededog
In the latest turn in the Kevin Maher defamation suit against ex-wife, Danielle Staub, video of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" Caroline Manzo's deposition leaked to the media and the reality star isn't happy. 
Sources close to the housewife tell Zap2it that the star was not pleased the video was leaked to TMZ. While she's working with Bravo to try and get the video pulled, she's unsure TMZ will cooperate.
In the video, Manzo's testimony in Maher's $5-million lawsuit confirms his claims that Staub had accused him of raping her, killing his dog and playing Russian Roulette by placing a gun inside Staub's vagina. All of which, Maher vehemently denies and forms the basis of his defamation lawsuit.
Later, more video was released from Manzo's deposition in which the housewife admits to giving Bravo the ultimatum that she wouldn't be returning to the show for Season 3 if Staub remains a cast member.
A source tells us that Manzo is not trying to get the video pulled, because she doesn't stand by what she says or she's scared of Staub, but that she wants the "Danielle Drama" over with and completely out of her life.

Caroline Rules
Article from GLO.
How Do You Ditch a Toxic Friend?
Caroline Manzo puts the real in The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and her fans relate to the reality star's no-nonsense attitude, focus on family and, above all, abundant common sense. Check back at Glo every Monday as Caroline helps solve your most pressing dilemmas.
Caroline's Ruling: I'm sometimes amazed at what we “allow” ourselves to endure. First, you need to define the friendship/relationship. Is it a true friendship or just an acquaintance? True friendships are very rare; there is love, understanding and forgiveness that can withstand the test of time.
A friend is the one you tell your secrets and fears to, the one you can trust to be there for you at your lowest moments without judgment and is there to celebrate the highest of highs with you and for you. An acquaintance is someone who comes into your life but isn't your “go to” person, the one you tell your secrets and fears to. You may go out socially now and then or work alongside them daily, but they are not the ones you call when you need real friendship.
If you find yourself in a position to have to end a relationship with a friend, a true friend, then you have to do one very important thing first: talk to them. Make him/her understand what you're feeling, define the situation clearly and honestly. You owe it both to yourself and your friend. If there is no resolution or understanding, at least you can say you tried your best and were honest and straightforward about your feelings. Your friend heard it from you and no one else.
If, at the end of the conversation, you have no resolution, then at least you can tell them directly that the friendship is over. Never let it be heard through gossip; you both deserve more than that.
An acquaintance is a different story. If you find that your new friend isn't all that they represent themselves to be, just take a casual step back. I firmly believe that when you first meet someone, you are usually talking to his or her “representative.” People are on their best behavior when they first meet. It takes a little time for the real personalities to surface. No big deal, live and learn. I don't believe there's a need for a heart-to-heart unless there is a situation that really bothers you. If it's just some behavioral or personality quirks that turn you off, then step away, don't be so accessible. No need to bring unnecessary drama into your life!
In my life, I have a handful of people whom I call friend. I treasure their friendships and am so grateful for their presence in my life. I have tons of acquaintances; they come and they go. Sometimes for specific reasons, and sometimes for no other reason than life gets in the way of spending time together. I don't dwell on it. Life's too short. Live it with honesty to yourself and those around you. Trust me, you'll sleep much better at night!

The Dilemma: Ending a friendship is a topic we've touched on here at Glo, but the actual dissolution of said relationship is not just tricky, it can also be downright stressful. Sometimes the person you think is your best friend forever can morph into someone you can't stand in only a matter of years. Or perhaps you recently made a new friend who turned out to be nothing but bad news. While most of us know how to end a romantic relationship, navigating the end of a friendship seems much more difficult.

Caroline Laid Down An Ultimatum
Post from TMZ.
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Caroline Manzo claims she delivered a strict ultimatum to the show’s producers — if Danielle Staub returned for another season … she’d quit the show.
Manzo spilled it on camera during a deposition in Staub’s nasty defamation lawsuit against her ex-husband, Kevin Maher.
During the depo, Caroline said, “I did tell Bravo and Sirens that there is no amount of money you could put on the table for me next year.”
She added, “If Danielle Staub is on the show, I am out because my integrity means too much to me … so for Season 3, they know it’s either Danielle or myself.”
Integri-what?

Caroline Helps To Stop Child Trafficking

By Tara Kyle
GREENWICH VILLAGE — "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo and Big Brother alumni Stephen Baldwin got a dose of reality on Thursday night when they attended a benefit against child trafficking.
"Everybody thinks the world is lollipops and roses, but it's not," Manzo told DNAinfo at the Stop Child Trafficking Now benefit at the Verandah Lounge.
"This is going on in our backyards, and we don't know about it — but we know what the height of Snooki's hair is."
The housewife, who plays the Momma Bear on the reality show, said she'd first learned about the important issue on Twitter.
America provides the greatest demand for under-age prostitutes, according to Sundy Goodnight, national campaign director for the advocacy group. Although the number of victims in New York is difficult to pinpoint, she estimates 2,500 to 10,000 young women and children could be held in slavery. Most are from Central America or Eastern Europe.
Curtis Sliwa, founder and CEO of the Guardian Angels community safety group, said one hotbed of trafficking in the city is along the 7 subway train. There, he said many of the cards advertising massages, prostitutions and escorts are in fact services provided by enslaved children and women.

The problem gets little attention in the U.S., however, because many people make the assumption that human trafficking is a problem in other countries, not at home. Kristie Neo, an intern for Stop Child Trafficking Now, said that in her native Singapore, news reports on the issue are common.
"It's everywhere," said Stephen Baldwin, who has been involved in various anti-trafficking groups for the past three years. "At some point, people like [Mayor Michael] Bloomberg are going to turn around and say, we need to provide a realistic amount of funding and resources."
Addressing the crowd, Baldwin urged benefit-goers to donate their time, money or voices to helping to raise the profile of child trafficking as an issue.
"I've seen the other side of this. I've seen these girls get redeemed, I've seen them get healed. There's hope for them," he told benefit goers.
"Fight the fight. Do something."
On Oct. 9, Stop Child Trafficking Now will host its annual fund-raising walk, beginning at 62nd Street between Amsterdam and Columbus avenues.
Caroline Aggravated With Teresa?
Post from Radar Online.
It looks like NJ Housewife Teresa Giudice may have more than just former castmate Danielle Staub rolling her eyes at her ongoing antics.
RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that castmate and friend Caroline Manzo and Teresa are also on the outs.
The matriarch of the group has always been very vocal on and off the show about protecting her 'family' -- including Teresa, who is now battling bankruptcy and furious that her estranged sister-in-law Melissa Gorga will be joining the show next season.
"She feels that Teresa has gotten to carried away with everything and she is just aggravated with her," the insider added.

"Caroline is not talking to Teresa," an insider revealed to RadarOnline.com exclusively. "She is just tired of all the drama. She is just keeping her distance. She doesn't mind if Teresa is on the show, but they all hate each other now."

Caroline Does Not Know Who The New Housewife Is
Interview from Wonder Wall.
"Real Housewives" star Caroline Manzo made the short trip from New Jersey to take in Fashion Week -- not only as a spectator but also as a model. Wonderwall scored an exclusive interview with Manzo at the Sachika fashion show. Here are Caroline's thoughts on hitting the runway for the first time, spring fashion and, of course, who will be on the next season of "Real Housewives of New Jersey."
WW: Do you have a favorite supermodel?
CM: I admire them all. I think they're all beautiful and gorgeous. I saw Iman the other day, and she is beyond fabulous.
WW: Who else are you excited to see at Fashion Week?
CM: I saw Chris Benz. I did a lot of charity work this week, so I haven't had a chance to do any fashion work.
WW: Is there a shoe or bag you're coveting?
CM: Jimmy Choo is my favorite ever. Anything by Jimmy Choo I love. I am a bag whore, so I have millions of bags and shoes. Whatever makes me happy at the moment, that's what I chose.
WW: What do you think of the other celeb lines?
CM: I've heard of JWoww's, but I haven't seen it. I actually have a few things of Gwen Stefani's. I like her line. I think it's fun. Bebe -- I'm too old to wear Bebe. There should be a Bebe 40-plus line. A hot mama line!
WW: What can you tell us about Danielle Staub during the reunion? Was the hug at the end real or fake?
CM: Well, clearly my reaction and my opinion still holds true. I didn't feel it was sincere. If the other girls felt they needed to do that for themselves, that's fine. I respect that. I am what I am.
WW: Where is Teresa Giudice?
CM: I have no clue where Teresa is.
WW: How is the bankruptcy?
CM: Status quo. Teresa is strong. She handles it well, and I give her a lot of credit. She's a pretty strong person. I wish her the best.
WW: So Danielle is off the show?
CM: As I understand it, yeah. We know there's a season three, but we don't know who's in it. True story!

Wonderwall: Is this your first time walking?
Caroline Manzo: Yes!
WW: How do you feel?
CM: I'm not even thinking about it! I'm just going to go out there and walk. That's it! I'll worry about it when I get there. I'm sure when I hit the entrance where I have to start walking, my legs will probably turn to Jell-O. But I will walk, turn around and come back!

Danielle's Motion To Dismiss Will Be Heard September 27th
Article from Radar Online.
Warning: This story contains graphic details
Real Housewife of New Jersey Caroline Manzo has been dragged into her cast mate Danielle Staub's ongoing court battle with her ex-husband, and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive document detailing her involvement with the case.
The red-headed NJ Housewife who has openly talked about her disdain for Danielle on - and off - the show was recently deposed in a Federal defamation lawsuit filed against Danielle by her ex-husband, Kevin Maher.
"She depicted him as a monster," Manzo recalled during her July 22 deposition. "She depicted him as someone who would beat her daily, as someone that put her in the hospital due to the beatings, I want to say on more than one occasion."
Manzo was deposed on behalf of Maher in an effort to help prove his defamation claim against Danielle. Maher claims the former Real Housewife of New Jersey star made damning allegations to other people about him, including that he raped her on broken glass, hanged or shot her dog, and that he inserted a gun into her and played Russian roulette.
Under oath, Manzo recalled statements allegedly made by Danielle and they appear to confirm Maher's claims. "She told a story about being raped on broken glass. One incident, she said that he shot her dog. And then another incident she claimed that he hanged her dog. I'm confused as to whether this all was at the same moment of the rape on the glass with the dog, and inserted a pistol up her vagina and played like a Russian roulette."
Manzo continued, "She claimed to have been hiding in a tree at some point, afraid that when he came home he would find her and beat her. She claimed to be the victim of prostitution due to his demands, that he put her into that world, again depicting him as an absolute monster. And the only reason she stayed with him, because she feared for her life if she left."
"Again it was just a picture of an absolute monster, that she was under his control... anything that she did during the course of her relationship with Kevin Maher was not of her own freewill; it was more or less a domineering person."
Danielle has filed a motion with the court to dismiss the case which will be heard on September 27.
