The Truth About Caroline Manzo And Dina Cantin's Feud Over Tommy Manzo

The true cause of the feud was revealed in May 2021 during a court hearing for Tommy Manzo's alleged role in the 2017 attack on Dina and Dave Cantin in their New Jersey home, per People. During the hearing, it was revealed that Caroline Manzo provided a letter of support for Tommy, calling her brother-in-law "kind-hearted and caring," via NJ.com.

After years of dodging questions about their fight, Cantin supported an Instagram post badmouthing Manzo. The post written by Lukey McKibben labels a side-by-side photo of Tommy and Caroline "Thick of Thieves." "For years I have sat by and watched Dina take the high road over and over. Staying silent for many reasons but mainly out of respect for family. There's a million things I could have said throughout the years and spoken up to defend her. She would forbid me to say a word. But I can't stay silent while others continue to talk to help keep their relevance. You will reap what you sow," McKibben captioned the post.

Cantin applauded McKibben. "Normally Lukey I would ask you to take this down but ya know what? I'm starting to think some just expect us to stay quiet while they continue to hurt others ... that's what gives them that 'power.' I'll say it again ... it's not ok to take kindness for weakness. Plus if I don't laugh at this point I'll just continue to cry. I love you" (via Page Six).
