Last night was absolutely huge for long time fans of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey because beloved cast member Jacqueline Laurita returned to the fold. Bravo decided to ax the star before the currently airing season began filming in favor of adding her estranged sister-in-law, Dina Manzo, to the roster. After the ratings continued to sink each week the network got smart and decided to bring Laurita back even for just a few episodes. This move makes fans anywhere happy because quite frankly she is the only 'housewife' that is even remotely relatable.
Viewers' have watched Laurita struggle with her weight and far more importantly she has been brutally honest about dealing with her son's autism. Laurita's desire to simply fix her little boy has resonated with RHONJ fans and it has made them rally behind her so firing her in the first place made no sense whatsoever. We now know that Laurita is back primarily to deal with the criminal case surrounding her former best friend, Teresa Giudice, who is currently just a few days away from sentencing for a slew of financial crimes.
Episodes of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are currently months behind reality so at this point in the show Teresa and her husband, Joe Giudice just plead guilty—something that stunned their family and friends. Laurita is one of the many people that the couple lied to but she is trying to make sense of it all while determining whether or not the friendship is something that can be saved.
Are you glad to see Laurita back on the show? Sources say that she's not going to be filming with her sister-in-law so that is one explosive confrontation that won't air, at least not this season. Should producers have brought Laurita back sooner or better yet, should they have not fired her in the first place?
