  • After five seasons, Caroline Manzo will be leaving the “Real Housewives of New Jersey”. She broke the news to fans via Twitter and her personal blog on Sunday.

    In her last Bravo Blog post, Manzo gave the details on why she has made the choice to leave the show, and what her future relationship with Bravo entails.

    When we started filming Housewives so long ago, Al made me promise him one thing. He said, ‘Just be yourself and have fun with it.’ I’ve always prided myself on giving you the truth of who I really am, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Over the past few years my outlook on the show has changed from something I couldn’t wait to show my future grandchildren to something I hope my future grandchildren never see. I’ve always prided myself on being a good example for my children and my decision to leave is based on advice I’ve always given them: ‘Be true to yourself and be proud of who you are, you are born with a name and you die with a name, don’t dirty it up.’ Going back to film another season of Housewives would only make me a hypocrite. For me, peace and integrity cannot be bought with money or fame. I practice what I preach, and as I said on the reunion, I’m done. I simply feel that my role has run its course and I have nothing more to give.

    Manzo also discussed her spin-off television show that will be appearing on Bravo as well. “I may be leaving Housewives, but my relationship with Bravo will continue as we started production on a pilot, Manzo’d with Children, which if goes to series promises to give the viewers a very different look into the world of the Manzo Family,” she saidWe are having an absolute blast filming it, and I hope you all join us as we start our new chapter within the Bravo newtork. We didn’t close the book, we just turned the page.

    Manzo says that she is moving on to a more positive future and letting go of the “pointless drama”. “There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good,” Manzo wrote. “After all, life is too short to be anything but happy. Thank you so much for being a part of one of the most amazing experiences of my life.”
