The ex-husband of Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Dina Manzo was sentenced to seven years in prison for hiring a reputed mobster to assault her then-boyfriend, David Cantin.
Dina Manzo, now Dina Cantin, was an original cast member on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Federal posecutors stated that Manzo, a co-owner of The Brownstone catering hall in Paterson, New Jersey, gifted Perna a free wedding reception in exchange for the assault.
“Whether you’re actually in the Mafia or not, hiring the mob to assault someone because of your marital problems is abhorrent.
