Why RHONJs Dina Manzos ExHusband Thomas Hired a Mobster

The ex-husband of Dina Manzo, former star of the The Real Housewives of New Jersey, has been indicted for allegedly hiring a member of the Lucchese Crime Family to carry out an assault of the reality star’s current husband in exchange for a lavish wedding reception.

Tommy Manzo married Dina in 2007 and appeared on RHONJ in its first season. The two separated in 2012, finalizing their divorce in 2016. Tommy allegedly hired John Perna in 2015 to assault Dina’s then-boyfriend in exchange for a deeply-discounted wedding reception at The Brownstone, where Manzo is a co-owner with his brother, who is married to Dina’s sister, Caroline, another former RHONJ cast member. Perna is described in the indictment as a “made man” in the Lucchese Crime Family.

According to the indictment, Manzo provided Perna personal information about his ex-wife’s boyfriend, including his residence, business addresses, and vehicle, to help locate him in order to assault him. In July 2015, Perna and another man involved in the Lucchese Crime Family located the boyfriend and his vehicle and followed him to a strip mall where they attacked him. The attack left Dina’s husband with a permanent facial scar. In return, Perna held a “lavish wedding reception at Manzo’s restaurant for a fraction of the price,” which was allegedly paid for by another Lucchese associate and close friend of Manzo’s. There were more than 330 attendees at the wedding, including many members of the crime family.

Federal rand jury subpoenas were sent to The Brownstone seeking documents related to Perna’s August 2015 wedding reception, but Manzo failed to provide the requested documents and “deliberately submitted a false document regarding the reception to the government, along with a false certification.” The documents were later seized when the federal authorities executed a search warrant and obtained documents related to the wedding reception that had not been turned over. Manzo is also indicted for allegedly falsifying and concealing records related to the federal investigation.

Manzo and Perna are each charged by indictment with committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity and conspiracy to commit a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity. Both men were released on $100,000 unsecured appearance bonds during their first appearance in federal court Tuesday. Bravo announced that The Real Housewives Of New Jersey will commence filming for season 11 this summer and gave the official date they will start.
