Even though Caroline Manzo has officially signed off as a Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, a scandal from her past has resurfaced into recent headlines.

Before becoming a household name around the United States, Manzo told her son, Albie, to lie about where they lived so he could go to a particular school in the area and make new friends.

Albie candidly dropped the news on Twitter in a long tweet while announcing the death of their dog that was a part of their family for more than 17 years.

Manzo wrote, "We decided to move out of Wayne and build a house in Franklin Lakes. The construction was obviously going to take some time and instead of having me be the new kid in high school (when our house would be finished) my parents (Mom, mostly) insisted that we lie about our address so I could get to know new kids before High School."

He added that the arrangement went on for more than two years.

In the post, Manzo also opens up about the day they first got their dog, Austin when he was in the sixth grade. He opened up about Austin being his true friend during an extremely hard time in his life when he was a victim of bullying and felt he had no one to turn to.

"No matter how my day was, he was there just kind of waiting to hang out. Hanging out at home always made me forget the other stuff, that's why I did it so often and loved it so much and he fit in perfect."

Caroline announced her departure from Real Housewives of New Jersey just moments after the fifth season reunion.
