"Dina Manzo shocked fans Monday night when she announced she is leaving the Bravo hit The Real Housewives of New Jersey -- and in the new Us Weekly (out Wednesday) she opens up exclusively about her shocking decision.\r\n&amp;quot;I would say 99.9 percent is because of Danielle [Staub], but the other .1 percent was drama created by her,&amp;quot; she tells Us Weekly.\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nFor Manzo, the final straw came on the May 31 episode (taped last year), when Staub, 47, trailed by an ex-con bodyguard, showed up at the Manzo-owned catering hall The Brownstone for a charity event and caused a ruckus that ended with Staub&amp;#x2019;s escort hurling a gay slur at Manzo&amp;#x2019;s nephew.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;That whole night at The Brownstone just put me over the edge,&amp;quot; Manzo, 38, tells Us Weekly. &amp;quot;Danielle became all we ever talked about! I wanted to film some fun stuff. I thought I signed on for a nice family show and it really turned in a different direction.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nStaub, she adds, &amp;quot;will make up whatever lie she can to hurt you, and it&amp;#x2019;s dangerous. Who wants to be associated with that?&amp;quot;\r\n For more from Manzo -- including one of the craziest lies Manzo claims Staub ever spread about her; details on plans to return for one special episode; and who really leaked Staub&amp;apos;s buzzed-about sex tape -- pick up the new Us Weekly, on newsstands Wednesday!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
