Dina Manzo is setting the record straight on rumors as she gears up for her return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Dina Manzo Reportedly Forged Husband's Signature For Daughter's 'RHONJ' Appearance

During an interview in the newest issue of Us Weekly, the reality star opened up about rumors that she would not come back to the show unless her sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita was fired. She made it clear that she did not want anyone to get fired as a result of her return.

"I did not get anyone fired. One of my first questions for the producers when I was invited back was, 'You're not getting rid of anyone because of me, right?' And they said, 'Absolutely not.'"

Still, she also said it is unlikely that she, her estranged sister Caroline Manzo, and Laurita will share a television screen again.

"Other than my [18-year-old daughter Lexi]- we share a bond that nothing can break- I will never do a reality show with my family again. It's just not a healthy environment."

One friendship that's still going strong for Dina is with her Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star Teresa Giudice.

Dina revealed on Instagram that Giudice came out to celebrate Lexi's high school graduation. She shared fun pictures from a photo booth with the caption, "Have known these girls since before lexi was born, now they celebrate her Graduation with me! So crazy! Met Jackie at 15 Teresa at 20 #girlfriends."


The Real Housewives of New Jersey returns for its highly anticipated sixth season July 13 at 8/7c.
