You can take the lady out of New Jersey, however you may’t take the Jersey out of the lady! The Real Housewives of New Jersey franchise has seen many of its stars depart the world behind over time — and Us Weekly is taking a visit down reminiscence lane and checking in on the place they’re now.
OG cast member Caroline Manzo left the present in 2014 after 5 seasons. During her time on the collection, she bought entangled in a rocky feud with former costar Teresa Guidice.
Manzo later revealed her cause for exiting the franchise for good.
“There wasn’t a final straw, the burden became too heavy in my personal life,” Manzo instructed Bravo’s The Daily Dish in January 2021. “You can’t work with something that doesn’t reflect your beliefs. The show became something that just didn’t reflect my beliefs or who I was as a person.”
She added, “It’s not about the money, it’s not about the fame — it’s about your moral compass and how you live your life.”
As many RHONJ followers know, Manzo went on to star in her personal spinoff collection titled Manzo’d with Children from 2014 to 2017.
Siggy Flicker, for her half, broke the information of her departure from the Bravo franchise in a letter shared completely with Us Weekly in 2018. She had solely been an element of the present for 2 quick seasons.
“That’s a wrap! I want to thank Andy Cohen and Bravo for the opportunity they gave me on The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” she wrote on the time. “Andy Cohen is a mentor, a friend and the sweetest man in the universe, not to mention GOOD LOOOKING! Bravo has amazing people who made a tremendous impact on my career and my life. I don’t regret one second of the good and sometimes the not so good.”
Meanwhile, Jacqueline Laurita starred on RHONJ’s first 5 seasons earlier than being demoted to the “friend” function for season 6. Though she was restored to full-time standing once more in season 7, her run on Bravo ended simply earlier than season 8 in 2017.
“I was asked by an executive producer what it would take for me to come back to #RHONJ…I said full time and a whole new cast. Lol! (Dolores [Catania] can stay.) I don’t like the direction it’s going in anymore,” she tweeted in March 2018. “I’m a very positive person & I’m very happy with my life. I love my family & I love my friends. I want to do positive things. I love sharing my journey & knowledge I’ve gained along the way. I love helping people and that’s what I am going to continue to do.”
