Dina Manzo feels “cleansed” after her ex-husband, Tommy Manzo, was convicted of hiring a mobster to assault her then-boyfriend, now-husband David Cantin.
Dina Manzo is reclaiming her power after getting justice for her ex-husband, Tommy Manzo’s crimes.
On Wednesday, the Real Housewives of New Jersey OG released a statement on Instagram after news broke that her ex-husband was convicted by federal grand jury.
“I call my power back to me. I call my energy back to me. I call my magic back to me,” she wrote in the statement, per DailyMail.com.
‘I am cleansed and disconnected from anything that may drain me. I am shielded from any energy that does not serve me.
“I am safe. I am protected. I am whole. And so it is,” added Dina.
As previously reported, on Tuesday, Thomas “Tommy” Manzo was found guilty by a federal grand jury for “conspiracy, falsifying and concealing documents and committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity” after he hired Lucchese crime family member John Perna to rough up Dave Cantin, the then-boyfriend of his ex-wife in 2015.
Tommy faces up to 46 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. The 59-year-old’s sentencing is set for Oct. 15, per Page Six.
The feds accused the New Jersey-based restaurateur, who co-owns The Brownstone in Paterson with his brother Albert Manzo, of recruiting Lucchese’s crime family member, John Perna, to rough up David.
In return for completing the attack, Tommy promised Perna a deeply discounted wedding at The Brownstone in Paterson, NJ.
In July 2015, Perna and an associate attacked Cantin and roughed him up with a slapjack in the parking lot of a North Jersey strip mall. The attack left Cantin battered and scarred, according to court papers.
Five years later, Tommy and Perna were arrested and incited for their crimes. Perna pleaded guilty to “committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity.” He was sentenced to almost three years and was released in August 2023.
Dina married Tommy in 2005. The two split in 2012 but didn’t officially divorce until 2016.
Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.
