"Well, I guess the (hairless) cat's out of the bag," Manzo, who appeared in seasons one and two, tweeted on Tuesday, Oct. 29. (She has a hairless cat named Grandma Wrinkles.) "Yes, I'm back. Unlike the past, this time it felt 'right.' See you on Bravo, my friends. xo."

Rumors about the 41-year-old interior decorator's return have been circulating for several weeks, ever since her estranged sister, Caroline Manzo, announced she was leaving RHONJ after five seasons. And on Sunday, Laurita told Us she thought the rumors were true.

"I think that my sister-in-law Dina is coming back!" she said. Then, asked whether Manzo is returning because Caroline is leaving, she replied: "Well, she doesn't really want to do the show with family because it brings unnecessary drama and causes problems. I understand why she doesn't want to do a show with family. I totally get it."

Of course, Manzo's return isn't the only casting shakeup making headlines these days. As a source confirmed to Us earlier this month, twin sisters Nicole and Teresa Napolitano and their friend Amber Marchese will also be joining the show for the upcoming sixth season.
