Caroline Manzo joins Brooke Goff for a candid conversation about life before *The Real Housewives of New Jersey*, the fame and fallout that followed, and the stories that have surrounded her for years.
Caroline opens up about her complicated history with Teresa Giudice, the accusation that she contacted the feds, her infamous feud with Danielle Staub, and why she ultimately walked away from *RHONJ*. She also discusses her relationship with her sister Dina, the impact reality television had on her family, and why she believes fame changed the show after its first season.
The conversation also turns to Caroline's experience filming *The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip* and her ongoing lawsuit against NBCUniversal, as she explains why the experience changed her relationship with reality television.
Plus, Caroline reflects on the person viewers saw on *RHONJ* — and whether, after all these years, she sees herself as the victim, the villain, or simply Caroline Manzo.
