BREAKING: Bear Poops On Real NJ Housewife's Lawn

Who knew that ursines were so critical of reality television starring wildly privileged (and sometimes broke), fighting New Jersey women? This morning, a large bear wandered onto the lawn of Caroline Manzo's grand Franklin Lakes home, prompting her to Tweet, "There is the biggest f***ing bear in the world in my front yard. TERRIFIED." Her son Christopher also Twittered, "For those of u who ask, a bear doesn't poop in the woods...it prefers my front yard."

WPIX sent its traffic helicopter to check out the scene and its reporters asked Manzo about the unwelcome visitor (no, not Danielle!). She said, "He had to be 7, maybe 8 feet. He was gigantic. I can't even tell you how big this bear was. I'm like horrified to even walk outside of my house. I don't know what to do with myself." (This sounds bigger than the bear spotted in NJ towns on Sunday.) But she admitted, "It's not unusual to find bears in our area. Last year, my brother Chris had a bear probably just as big sitting in his garage."

The bear will reportedly be tranquilized and transported to a sanctuary if spotted again. If only that were the solution to the insane fights the housewives get into.

S.D.

Guess the bear thinks the show sucks too.

Youre horrified to go outside your house, and we're horrified to go inside.

So let me get this straight. The woman on the left is shown taking a dump, on her own lawn, in the picture on the right?

Guest

on the left is your dangerous bear, and on the right is the rightful owner of the house -- look how frightened she is!

So, not just in the woods then?

I would have liked this article better if the headline was "Bear Disembowels Real NJ Housewife." Just FYI editors.

I'll give you a shout when there's a breakthrough in human mind control of bears!

Ms. Chung, please get into the van.

How unfortunate that no magazine, website, newspaper or television program is void of the mention of these trashy people. WHY do we care if some white trash goombah woman in Jersey has a bear on her grass? Too bad she wasn't mauled.

Seriously - it's so annoying. And I think Gothamist is in a position where they don't have to/are better off NOT doing it. Let other sites do that bullshit. It's refreshing. They seem to more and more be putting this celebrity trash shit - I don't get it. Keep your niche.
