During the ‘RHONJ’ reunion, last night, Oct. 23, Caroline Manzo dropped the bomb that she and her once close sister, Dina, are no longer on speaking terms. Did Teresa come between them?

Drama heated up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion part two that aired on Oct. 23. Caroline Manzo revealed a major issue that has hardly been touched upon throughout the entire season three — that she hasn’t spoken to her sister, Dina Manzo, who used to be a part of the cast until the end of season two. And Caroline implied that Teresa Giudice is to blame for the rift between her and Dina!

“She was lead to believe a lot of things that aren’t true,” Caroline replied when Housewives head honcho Andy Cohen asked her what happened. “She has a good friend that likes to talk and when she says things to her that aren’t true against me and Jacqueline [Laurita] … I’m looking at you [Teresa].”

Teresa claimed she said “nothing” to Dina to make her upset.

But Caroline didn’t believe that for a second. “I have emails that I’m willing to pull up that said, ‘Teresa tells me everything,’” said Caroline. “Jacqueline has emails and text messages.”

“I’m here. I’m being honest. I’m being real. Bring it on,” Teresa challenged. ”She [Dina] doesn’t want to see you.”

The battle boiled down to one point. “Right now, I’m not talking to Dina. Dina’s not talking to me … it’s been a few months,” explained  Caroline. “It became ugly. We argued a lot. She claims that I never supported her and Teresa is a big part of it.”

“I never said one thing to Dina,” Teresa maintained.

In her personal blog, Dina admits that there are strains with her sister — but that Teresa is not the cause. ”I will NOT get into [what] did happen behind the scenes with certain family members and there is no right or wrong really … it depends on who you ask. Feelings did get hurt … I won’t get into them because I have no desire to rehash the past,” Dina writes. “Teresa had nothing to do with me staying away from everyone.”

“I feel bad that my relationship with my sister and her family is strained, but I can assure you that one day it will be back to the way it was,” Dina adds.

BFFs — how sad is it that Dina and Caroline are fighting?
