Any fan of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Caroline Manzo knows that she expects her family to be “thick as thieves.” On Sunday’s episode of “Manzo’d With Children,” Lauren Manzo and brother Albie Manzo are at war over Lauren’s opinion of Albie’s new girlfriend and Caroline isn’t having it.
Viewers met Albie’s girlfriend Brittany, a busty boxing ring card model, on last week’s episode and that’s when things hit the fan. If we thought Caroline was going to hate her son’s new gal, mom’s reaction was nowhere near daughter Lauren’s reaction. War would start when Lauren offered Albie her unsolictied take on Brittany.

“I don’t want you to have kids with Brittany,” Lauren told her brother on last week’s episode. “She’s not who I’d want to bear your children.”
From there, things really got heated when Albie complained that everyone in the family feels the need to thrust their opinions of who he’s dating on him.
“Everyone looks at my relationships especially with one thing in mind: Do they fit in with the family? I don’t care anymore,” Albie told his sister. “I only care if they fit in with me.”
And then he said the words that would launch Manzo World War III, “If you’re going to be a toxic person in my environment, I don’t need to be around you. If that’s how you want to be, we don’t need to have a relationship. It’s that simple.”

Of course, a split between her kids doesn’t sit well with Caroline. In TheWrap‘s exclusive preview of Sunday’s episode, she confronts Lauren about the big fight with Albie and tells her to “fix this.”
Watch the preview above.
“Manzo’d With Children” airs at a special time this Sunday at 9:30 p.m. ET on Bravo.
