Dina Manzo asks Jackie Goldschneider to make a public apology for commenting on Teresa Giudice’s daughter

Former Bravo star, Dina Manzo may no longer be on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The star asked Jackie Goldschneider to make a public apology after commenting on Teresa Giudice’s  eldest daughter, Gia Giudice saying, she does “coke in the bathroom” at parties.

Teresa, 48, and Jackie, 44, went head to head on the season 11 premiere of RHONJ after the Standing Strong author claimed she heard Evan Goldschneider is unfaithful to his wife. Jackie subsequently compared the rumors to telling people that Teresa’s daughter is into drugs. The day after the episode aired, Dina shared a statement from Teresa’s publicist via Instagram Stories.

“I did NOT watch, but I totally agree,” Diana wrote alongside Appian Entertainment’s Karianne Fischbach’s statement. “A Grown woman should not use that analogy about a minor EVER, especially about our beautiful @_giaguidice. Jackie needs to make a public apology immediately.”

“Gia is a wonderful, smart, strong and beautiful human being and what was done to her tonight was wrong on so many levels. For a grown ass ‘I’m so so smart I’m lawyer’ woman to bring Gia’s name into an argument & place an accusation with such a weighted consequence is inconceivable,” Fischbach wrote.

As reported by US Weekly, Jackie said she ” wasn’t starting a rumor about Gia.”

“I was giving an analogy. I think that almost everyone will say that that’s an analogy and the truth is that there’s no one else in Teresa’s life that I can make her understand. When you say something about someone you love, whether or not it’s true, it hurts, you know? So, I don’t regret that because if I was saying something nasty about Gia, then I would regret it. But I was giving an analogy, which it was pretty clear to almost everyone,” she further added.

Though, Teresa being in complete disagreement with Jackie’s statement said,  “I think anybody that would say something like that about someone else’s child is disgraceful.”

“As a lawyer, not smart. Just saying! Not smart at all. She tries to act like she’s this person you could speak to, and she’s a lawyer and all this. A lawyer and being so smart, that was the worst analogy possible. And being a mom of four? Very bad move,” she further added.
