Dina Cantin‘s sister, Caroline Manzo, and their family threw Thomas Manzo a going away [to prison] party at The Brownstone DESPITE Thomas plotting an assault on Dina’s then-boyfriend/now-husband to secure a discount at … The Brownstone.
This takes shade to a whole new level.
The pre-prison party:
The former Real Housewives of New Jersey family – who starred in the spinoff Manzo’d With Children – chose violence … literally.
The ex-Bravo TV stars picked The Brownstone, of all places in the tri-state area, to host Thomas’s bon voyage (to prison) party. Considering Dina’s husband was assaulted, at the order of Thomas FOR a discounted party at The Brownstone, is a real slap in the face to Dina and Dave Cantin.
RHONJ fans react:
- So blood isn’t thicker
- Who needs family when they celebrate the person who hurt you
- Teresa was never wrong about that Caroline, she’s disgusting
- “let me tell you about my family , we are as thick as thieves” Just her in law’s apparently
- Omg what!!! 10k a table and a party held for someone who set up your own sister! This is DISGUSTING!
Thomas Manzo was sentenced to seven years in prison for hiring John Perna to assault Dave Cantin in exchange for a discounted reception at The Brownstone, per reports from NJ1015.com.
The historic Brownstone is co-owned by her sister, Caroline Manzo‘s husband. Caroline defended Thomas after the assault, not her sister. Thomas was convicted in June by a jury in Newark federal court, U.S. Attorney Philip Sellinger announced. In 2015, the 59-year-old Manzo arranged for a known mobster to attack the Dina’s husband, Dave.
The hitman Perna carried out the attack on Dave at a strip mall in Passaic County in July 2015 Dina’s new man was assaulted with a “slap jack.” A month later, a wedding reception was held at The Brownstone for “a fraction” of the normal price.
Thomas Manzo was found “guilty of committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity, conspiracy to commit a violent crime in aid of racketeering resulting in serious bodily injury, and falsifying and concealing documents related to a federal investigation.”
