'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Star Dina Manzo Gets New HGTV Series
Dina Manzo, former star of Bravo's 'Real Housewives of New Jersey,' is heading to HGTV in a new party-planning series.According to Variety, the untitled series will follow Manzo and her events company Design Affairs. Each episode will focus on a different job.
"Dina is an accomplished interior designer and also runs a thriving event planning business," Kathleen Finch, general manager of HGTV, said. "Her 'Real Housewives' fans will be very surprised to see this side of her. Dina brings a unique set of skills to HGTV."
Manzo left 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' in the beginning of season 2 after an ongoing conflict with fellow former star Danielle Staub. Before her exit, she told Zap2It that her dust-ups with Staub were a breaking point in terms of her staying on the show.
"For me knowing how hard I work ... For [Danielle] to make a mockery of [a fundraiser] was extra upsetting as a cast member, you know, to be part of the show, to see her do that," Manzo told Zap2it last year. "It was really the last straw for me."
