Summary
Bravo's The Real Housewives franchise has lent many things to our culture: feuds, fights, memes, and a constellation of people who've come to be known as Bravolebrities. For original New Jersey cast member Dina Manzo, the experience sparked genuine conflict with her sister, also a cast member, and Dina became the first Housewife to leave a series of her own volition. But that's the beginning, not the end, of a story that involves a long divorce, organized crime, and even violence.
