We have spent so much time discussing everything that is wrong with the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey that it's actually quite easy to overlook the good. Long before Teresa Giudice's trip to prison was imminent, one of the biggest feuds was between Caroline Manzo, her sister Dina Manzo and their sister-in-law, Jacqueline Laurita. While it has never been made public knowledge what exactly happened to cause the family to have a huge falling out, the ladies all recently decided to put their petty grievances aside in favor of uniting the family.
Supposedly, they first began reconnecting around Thanksgiving and by the time Christmas Eve rolled around, Laurita and Dina were photographed sitting together at Caroline's house. If you saw the final episodes of the most recent season of RHONJ, then you know that the cameras were there to gauge the cast members' reactions back in October when Teresa and her husband, Joe Giudice, were both sentenced to prison. Everyone seemed genuinely affected by the situation and the Manzo's and Laurita seemed to be reevaluating many things.
Do you think that watching the Giudice's go down in proverbial flames was the catalyst that prompted these ladies to finally let go of the issues that were keeping them at odds? They went from not seeming to care very much if they ever reconciled to spending the last several weeks rebuilding. That's a pretty big turn around, don't you think? The real question here is whether or not the family will manage to put their issues to rest so that they can really move forward. Do you think it'll happen?
