UPDATE: Teresa doesn’t have to report until January 5th, 2015! So we can expect another Christmas special…..UGH.
TERESA GETS 15 months!
TERESA IS HYSTERICAL STILL SOBBING.
UPDATE: Teresa addressing judge now, crying says, ” ‘I am more sorry than anyone will ever know.” We’re getting close! Teresa in tears tells judge she will. “make this right.” My four daughters are my life! I don’t care about the TV show! Teresa reads a letter to court “I’m scared, I’m not going to deny it, I’m really scared.”“It’s time for me to wake up … my daughters are my life that’s what keeps me going. I’ve done so much crying my daughters are my life.”I don’t care about the TV how or materialistic things … we lost my father-in-law and that was the first grandparent we lost.Now I have even more to give. I will take this experience and continue to do the right thing.I know in my heart everything happens for a reason and I’ve found my reason. Tweets by Jack Barbosa @TheJackBarbosa VickiDish @VickiHy
Prosecutor asks the court for a 21 month sentence.
John Bathke@JohnBathkeLive Prosecutor on Teresa: “she thumbed her nose at the court…now she wants sympathy. It’s business as usual.”
UPDATE Judge Salas declined to downgrade Teresa’s plea deal sentencing range. She will be doing jail time. …waiting for exact sentence.
He also read a letter from Joe’s mother Filomena, who could not be in court due to health problems. “My son needs a slap on the wrist, not to be taken away from his family.”
Salas later responded: “It’s not a slap on your wrist you need, Mr. Giudice. Uh-uh. You need to understand the laws of this country and that they need to be respected.”
Earlier in the hearing, Salas grew visibly angry with the couple over what she called their “glaring” omissions and inconsistences in their required pre-sentencing financial disclosure statement, and that Feinstein couldn’t confirm whether his client had actually paid the $224,000 he owes in back taxes. She called it “a direct affront to the court.”
Just before delivering the sentence, which includes 12 months to run concurrently for failing to file his tax returns in 2004, Salas told Joe: “I am not sure you respect the court. I am not sure you respect our laws. And I am not sure you understand yet what you did.”
But she also said she took into account the dozens of letters written on his behalf that describe him as a loving and devoted husband and father in not giving him the full recommended sentence of 46 months.
“A sentence under the top end of the range would be appropriate,” she said, “but I have to give you credit for the live you have lived, at least to the people you have loved.”
UPDATE: Juicy’s attorney told the court that his attempts to exonerate Teresa is the mark of a real man. SIGH. He also tried to blame the death of Joe’s dad for his problems. ??? He died afer the plea bargain was agreed to.
UPDATED: NJ.COM reporting Joe got 41 months, Teresa not sentenced yet. Juicy read this statement. “”I stand here humiliated before the court and my family and society,” he said. “I disgraced many people, including my wife and four daughters. I take full responsibility for my actions. I promise to be a better person.”
41 months in jail (3 1/2 years) $10,000 Fine for Joe Giudice of RHONJ Fame. Teresa to be sentenced this afternoon. Sounds like they are going to take a lunch break. I’m hearing rumors of “staggered sentences” where one will go first then the other.
UPDATE: ABC NEWS REPORT:
At their sentencing today, the Giudice’s defense team argued that “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” does not show Joe Guidice for who he really is. They criticized the reality show for “editing situations to create fake drama” and said that they advised the couple to stop appearing on the show, but because the Giudices lacked an alternate source of income, they did not listen. In the end, the attorneys asked for leniency, saying a harsh sentence would cause “untold trauma on the children.”
However, prosecutors noted that in her pre-sentencing list of assets, Teresa Giudice failed to include several cars, ATVs and other items, claimed no jewelry and said her $3 million home is filled with just $25,000 worth of furniture. Meanwhile, Joe Giudice failed to file tax returns for the last several years, despite the requirement to do so in his plea agreement.
As a result, U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas declined to be lenient with sentencing. “It feels,” she said, “like things have been hidden.”
“I do wish you luck,” Salas told Joe Giudice after she announced the sentence. “You have made some serious mistakes and you have to pay for them. But you have a lot to live for.”
Teresa and Joe Giudice entered the courtroom to hear their sentence this morning. Both were in dark pantsuits and walked in with their heads down. Teresa is hoping to avoid jail time by playing the kids card and begging for house arrest. Joe is looking at about four years.
Still waiting on decision, the judge took a very short break long enough for reporters to get word out that “Judge grilling Teresa & Joe Defense Attorneys about unclaimed assets and unpaid taxes.” Sounds like the judge is not going easy on them so far…
Okay getting more info, it seems both idiots lied on their PRE SENTENCING ASSET DISCLOSURE FORMS!
NEWARK — U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas is not happy with how forthcoming Teresa and Joe Giudice of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” fame have been on their pre-sentencing forms and she has even brought up the possibility of them being charged with perjury.
The federal prosecutor says nondisclosure and discrepancies by the couple are part of a “pattern of deception, dishonesty and concealment.” The Giudices were “not transparent in the least, this concealment is intentional,” he told the judge. Salas lectured the couple about the “glaring omissions” in both Joe and Teresa Giudice’s financial disclosure forms. Salas read off recreational vehicles, home furnishings, cars, construction equipment — all not reported to the probation office by the couple but listed on federal prosecutor’s documents. She said she feels the couple is concealing something.
Teresa, for instance, lists 0 for her jewelry on the forms, but her defense attorney said that most of her jewelry is worth very little because it is costume jewelry. The couple listed $25,000 in furnishings for their $3 million home but the defense attorney said that’s because the furnishings seen on TV are brought in by the production company. “I’m going to tell you that it leaves with this court a feeling of uneasiness,” Salas said. “It feels as if things have been hidden or concealed.”
judge then went on to list seven other items not listed on any court documents that were later discovered by government investigators. “How is it that at this point the court is having to go over this?” Salas asked the Giudices’ defense attorneys. Both offered little explanation except to say that the couple had hired an accountant and provided that person with their financial information. Salas also hit on the lateness of the filings. The Giudices had the required forms to turn into the court by March 4 but the probation office didn’t receive the information until Aug. 19, she said. “I had to put the sentencing off because the financial disclosure wasn’t in,”
UPDATE: Teresa’s lawyer is pretty much done with his case. Now Joe’s Lawyer is distancing him from RHONJ Joe, begging not to be deported…. etc.
OMG! T, you have eyes and ears everywhere!!!!
The Judge sounds PISSED….. I’m guessing 24 months for Teresa.
WTF!!!!!!! THEY LIED ON PRE SENTENCING ASSET DISCLOSURE FORMS!!!!!
Ummmmm… a little honestly, and repent would have served them well at this point. Any ounce of sympathy and compassion I felt for her and her kids is now gone.
I live a few blocks from the courthouse, I guess I should have went just for some photos.
Joe apologized..
“I stand here humiliated before the court and my family and society,” he said. “I disgraced many people, including my wife and four daughters. I take full responsibility for my actions. I promise to be a better person.”
Teresa’s sentencing is set for 2pm
this info and more is all in the post updates. Keep checking them.

Oops, TT. My mistake. I still have 5 tokens, unless you debited my account already. Got over zealous. Won’t happen again. 🙂
Ohhhh, I still feel bad for the kids. If it weren’t for the staggered sentences, my heart would be be bleeding for Gia right now, as the eldest daughter. Even still, this has to be devastating for her. She’s just a child born to fucked up parents, as are the other three. I keep picturing poor Gia at home, getting updates, hysterical.
My first reaction is not surprised or shocked but resignation. Teresa and Joe Giudice are both very foolish people. Never, never lie to a judge. Most judges will be as lenient as they are allowed if you show true remorse and are completely honest. It’s like Teresa and Joe want the maximum agreed to in their plea deal. If the judge and feds are annoyed, they may cancel their plea agreement. Both are such idiots.
This is my first comment….I absolutely love tamaratattles and I read it every day.
The judge is talking perjury charges. These 2 are idiots. Lying up to the last second possible. I have no words for them other than bye-bye… You are going away!
OMG – what is wrong with them? You would think they would have learned their lesson early on not to lie and try to hide ANYTHING! It’s obvious they feel no remorse, nor respect for the law. I hope the Judge gives them the maximum sentence allowed by law. Otherwise, they still won’t learn anything. What in the world are they teaching their children by these lies and deceptions? IMHO – they are just common thugs and thieves.`
I don’t understand why their lawyers allowed them to submit these papers with all these lies!!! Your lawyer is supposed to protect you from this sort of thing. Surely they knew Joe and Teresa were lying about their assets. That aside, I am so disappointed in them and now I do hope Teresa does time as well. Sorry, but she does deserve it. She’s lucky if the Judge will stagger their prison time like everyone is saying will happen. Wow, I’m just in shock over this.
Great coverage as always, TT.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they were really trying to avoid accumulating any more billable hours so they insisted their lawyers just turn that shit in.
Ugh. These two. Do they get it yet? Why would you not be honest at that point???? Thank You for a great update!
Geez! After reading this I am thinking there is no way Teresa will get house arrest. And I just can’t even feel sorry for them. I know their children’s lives are going to be impacted, but they should have thought about that.
And maybe, just maybe by seeing their parents being punished for all of this, it will deter them from making the same mistakes.
I can’t decide whether they’re completely stupid or just think they’re smarter than everyone else…which leads you right back to completely stupid. If this was a purposeful attempt to hide assets, Theresa can kiss any chance of probation/house arrest/leniency good bye. Note: don’t piss off the judge, it’s not going to end well.
I think they don’t know they’re lying. They are so deep into their entitlement and denials they have totally lost sight of what truth really is. The time behind bars will bring them closer to what honesty really means and that it starts at being honest with yourselves. They act as if being honest hurts or something.
I don’t think the money they defrauded was “real” to them. It’s rather like giving a 14 year old credit card. They have no concept of spending money until they get the bill/go over the limit. I remember when I was in college (back in the dark ages),there was a girl who figured she had money in her checking account as long as she had checks.
Jail is one of the worst things anyone has to go through. I’ve not had to go there, but after meeting people who have, you can’t really understand what it is like to loose your freedom. Just think – you can’t do anything, literally, without permission. Joe might survive due to his fiestyness (is that a word?)… Teresa, well, let’s just say it won’t be as comfy as Orange Is The New Black – not even close. She will go to a Federal facility, the most rigid of them all. Unless the judge does have sympathy and goes the Martha Stewart route. She won’t have her hair products, makeup or much of anything at first. Even after a while with good behavior she still won’t have much…let alone all the jewelry and clothes. I don’t have any sympathy for either one of them at this point. They, literally, stole money from everyday people who do work hard for what they have.
You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. No one is going to jail. They are going to federal prison. MUCH nicer. Especially the one Tre will end up at. She’ll be fine. There are Yoga classes and movie nights and inmate hair salons.

Typical Tre Hugger.
hahahahahaha….. no words….
Bahaaaaa yes, the judge is jealous of Tre. An almost illiterate woman with a no good husband. Yes that’s exactly what’s going on.
Yep, my perfect man. Um no! Apparently we just have to accept that there are ignorant people out there TT!
HAHAHA. . . apparently the word inventory has not made to his or her vocabulary. Pretty hard to over look an RV parked in your yard.
Worst day for an attorney-during your impassioned plea for leniency the judge mentions perjury charges are in order.
Hope their fee was upfront.
The judge also noted that lots of expensive construction materials were missing from their inventory. She’s (the judge) got her stuff together. Too bad they went in today with even dirtier hands than before. #jailbirds
Tsk tsk tsk, and good for the judge!
she should have given them more time. clearly they havent learned anything. i remember way back when when tammy faye bakker was doing the talk show circuit talking about how sorry she was about all the money she & jim scammed from their followers. an audience member asked if you’re so sorry i guess you are going to pay them back all the money you took? & a totally blank look came over tammy faye’s face like she had never even thought about it before. i’m sure the giudices are just sorry they got caught & have to do time. great hourly pay grade if you only have to spend 56 months in prison for millions. was it only $5 million? their prison time would amouunt to $124 or so an hour in pay for a $5 milllion scam.
So Stupid. I heard they are also deporting him. How many people in this country have committed crimes like this and have never been deported? This is personal.
Please don’t present things you’ve “heard” other places here as fact. Everyone who is here illegally and commits a crime is subject to deportation. The immigration folks will decide if they want to be bothered five years from now. I’ve always said they won’t deport him. He was a baby when he came here with his parents. We have bigger fish to fry when it comes to immigration.

Did not Teresa say Bravo purchased the furniture in the court docs? I’m sure I saw several episodes of tre furniture shopping and paying with cash!
Not one crumb of shame or remorse. Joe said he’s just” humiliated ”
There are many more descriptive adjectives that can be better applied to Joe G. and his wife Teresa. “I promise to be a better person/ criminal next time”.
TT, I was just thinking a few Tre huggers are left now and this nut posts. Can you imagine all the weeping and waling and gnashing of teeth we would have had to read even 2 years ago? #jailthem

So what on earth are you talking about? SMH.
Admin is probably sick and tired of the BS…you can only take SO MUCH, Tamra Tattles is only human. Stupidity starts to get under ur skin, take it from a past admin/owner of a website.
@Lookers, TT doesn’t have to be tired of anything to call someone, whether a bravolebrity or a commenter, an idiot, a cunt or anything else she feels like calling them.
Actually, it is harsh and condescending. I see all the TThuggers run to her defense and then start making mean, aggressive comments at the object of TT’s disdain.
I thought the purpose of a blog was to provide factual information and allow the reader to come to their own opinion.
I have seen other readers state the same as mini mogul. I have also silently watched was you chased readers away from your blog by your verbal assaults laced with obscenities that are beyond insulting.
If this is your livelihood, what purpose is served by chasing away those who generate $$ for you?
@Sheree Harhay Wow…well said…I’ve come across a lot of HW blogs cause HW shows are my guilty pleasure. I rarely read the comments because they are sometimes filled with harsh judgment and criticism from people with way to much time on their hands. This is the first blog I’ve read where the owner talks to the readers/commenters like that. Its baffling. The comment sections on a lot of blogs are too negative. How can you read about negative things and make negative harsh comments day in and day out???? It would drain me. I just want the back stories on the cast members not all the extra. So I’ll try to stay away from the comment section from now on.
Or you could go to one of the other billions of sites on the Internet where you might find someone who cares about your opinion. There has to be one, right?

@minimogul – you are right, you probably should steer clear of the comments section from now on if it is too negative for you. Many people find dry, sarcastic, and even insulting humor funny. Tons of shows have this kind of humor, but if people don’t like it, they generally don’t watch them. You obviously enjoy it if you’re into these blogs as TT roasts the people in these shows, but you don’t like it directed at you. It’s like going to a comedy show – if you don’t want to be picked on, you should probably avoid drawing attention to yourself.
@Ca What the heck are you talking about?
1. “Many people find dry, sarcastic, and even insulting humor funny. Tons of shows have this kind of humor, but if people don’t like it, they generally don’t watch them” – What are you talking about I was referring to the people commenting being negative…not the shows.
2. “You obviously enjoy it if you’re into these blogs” – I clearly said that I come to the blogs for the back story on the cast – the stuff that not shown on camera. NOT because I’m drawn to insulting humor.
3. “TT roasts the people in these shows, but you don’t like it directed at you” – TT has never made a mean comment to me. Again, what are you talking about
4. “It’s like going to a comedy show – if you don’t want to be picked on, you should probably avoid drawing attention to yourself” – I never said anything about anyone picking on me.
I don’t know what the heck you are talking about….perhaps you are not reading this particular thread correctly. Geez I feel like I’m trying to explain the underground railroad to Poorsha. OK…I’m done
For those of us playing along at home is that the second or third “I’m never commenting here again comment?” I’m old and already losing count.

@minimogul…you may be partially right there on being sensitive bc you’re personally being insulted, most of TT’s insulting in this thread is directed at sheree, although she did tell you to “sack up and ride on…” I see I mixed you up comparing humor from different formats…I’ll clarify. My point was that TT’s snarky humor is funny to many of us, even if it is harsh, and it is similar to the popular humor from other shows/comedians (Chelsea Handler, Kathy Griffin, etc.). It is in her blogs directed at people on the shows, perhaps more so in the comments. There are tons of reality show blogs – I read this one bc it makes me laugh out loud a lot. If the snarky humor upsets you to the point that you have to share your feelings with the group, you should probably steer clear as you yourself said, because it clutters the comments for the rest of us and I doubt TT is going to stop doing it bc you don’t like it.
LOL…blood thirsty are we? I never said I would never comment here again. I said I will continue to visit ANY HW BLOG I PLEASE to get the back stories. I will continue to do what my grandmother taught me…..to “ignore ignorance”

Pretty sure jelucy is about the farthest thing an incredibly successful, beautiful judge would be thinking WHILE IN THE MIDDLE of sentencing two nationally “humiliated” dirt poor criminals.
You should not be afraid or hesitate to post your opinion because of a few internet bullies. I’ve said my peace on a regular. And when the day comes that I have to sensor my thoughts then “bye Felecia ”
This is some folks only out let. Not saying that’s a problem but…….
Wow, that’s part of what scares me so much about this stuff! Every now and then I used to check Tre’s FB page or Bravo blog comments expecting to see the shock, dismay, and disappointment I felt about her actions, but NO! More than half of the people are pledging their love and loyalty, telling her there’s nothing wrong with anything she does, people are just jealous, etc. It’s terrifying that she has such a large fan base that looks at her as a role model they wish to emulate!
Jealous and Hater seem to be words that kids today do not understand. WTF is wrong with these people. Most of the Tre huggers are functionally illiterate and say things like “well the government is fucking with us all the time. So they stole some money back.”
It’s mind numbing.

Wow this is an unbelievable new height of either stupidity or disregard. Did we not see Theresa foolishly plunk down 28k? in cash the first season at the furniture store which I’m certain is what started this ball rolling. 25k would not pay for curtains in a 3 million dollar home
The question just came up in court why did they have a 1 million dollar policy on $25,000.00 worth of furniture?
Where are you seeing/watching this Valley View?
We can’t post links here but I am sure Tamara will update over the lunch recess.

Or had seen the episode, herself or one of her court worker’s had seen it (court recorder, court police or any of the court secretary’s). That could be the cornerstone of why the judge is now questioning all the other items. I.e. Jewelry
Filming that ring scene with Gia was just downright stupid.

They really are just plain dumb.
Also, Teresa changed her recent book signings to cash only. That’s like a flashing sign saying I’m cheating the government out of their cut.
Peachteachr: are you serious? That woman needs to give it up! Like whoever said, “if everyone says you’re dead it’s time to lie down!” (Something like that.)
Wasn’t it around $120,000 cash for the furniture? I remember the amount being HUGE.
I would love to rewatch season one right now.
Yes, DJ, you are correct. Recalling that episode in season one when she and Jacqueline shopped for furniture, I could not believe she carried that amount of cash with her in a handbag. Even after peeling off close to $125k for furniture she still had a good size roll of dough. Could have been all ones but I highly doubt it.
Exactly! And I remember Teresa counting all of it in cash – one hundred dollar bills by the fist full.
Why are you surprised by any of this?
I was wondering the same thing. I feel like we should be surprised that there wasn’t more hidden that was then discovered by the prosecutor. I mean, that IS their MO.
Not too smart those two. Lying to the court, government etc. Good Lord…”I can’t believe this is my life.” Idiot.
Not surprising the defense lawyers are starting to edge away from Teresa and Joe … the judge may want to come after the lawyers for being accomplices to the lying …
The real reason bith should go to jail is that their lies are intended to hurt
That’s pretty much what they’re paid to do…within boundaries of course… I dont think they can be responsible for what their clients omit unless you can prove they were counseled to do so, which is pretty much impossible.
Legally going after a lawyer for lying? There would BE no justice system.
They lied again on pre-sentencing forms? Will these morons never learn? Talk about stupid…
Here’s hoping that the judge gets pissed enough that she throws out the plea deal altogether and throws the book at them!
I know it won’t happen, but I can dream…
I was thinking earlier today, her best bet might be doing a little stint in prison, then writing a book about it when she gets out. They are going to need a lot of help paying off all of that debt, and in this age of OITNB being such a hit, it may be just the time for a book like that to do well.
Ha! Yeah, sure. Teresa “writing a book.” By that time, nobody is going to give a shit what this illiterate tard has to say.
If it’s not too long of a sentence her fans will still be here for sure. This isn’t looking too good for them right now though. I’m on pins and needles.
Under the Son of Sam law, Teresa can’t profit from selling any story about her crimes, but she could write a cookbook in prison on the many ways you can cook ramen noodles. Fabulicious to Felonicious. Tre will do time at Camp Cupcake.
Great title!
Most Son of Sam laws were overturned in the early 90’s, I believe, and the jurisdictions that have them now have ones that were very carefully worded to avoid first amendment issues. (That’s to say, not many jurisdictions). Not sure about New Jersey, but even if it doesn’t apply, any profits could be attached and go to creditors/restitution. I kind of like that idea better anyway.
Really? Bc I know someone who went to prison for one of the largest $$ thefts this country had ever seen…and then made a MOVIE about it and profited. The movie is calked Empire State. Liam Hemsworth is in it.
Can’t say whom I know but he profited off the movie, and did jail time for the crime.
Not sure what law this is your quoting but either it’s not real or not enforced.
Lookers,
The Son of Sam law IS a law. It prohibits murderers from profiting from the death and suffering of their victims and their families.
I’m not sure if that law applies or is extended to those who commit financial crimes.
Google it.
Murderers. This law doesn’t apply to my friend OR the Giudices. Why are we discussing a law about profiting off MURDERS lol
I loooooove that I’ve got some TT to keep me updated! It’s funny, I had completely forgotten that today was sentencing day. I’ve been watching old RHOA episodes and I was coming to the blog to search for info on Sheree’s fake doctor boyfriend. Then I saw this! MUCH better! 😀
This is why I have not been able to find any sympthany for Teresa or Joe. I hope they get the max amount of time.
Tamara, can the judge impose a harsher sentence than the one in their plea deal? If they are committing our purgery, can she throw out the plea?
Yes mam, the judge can give whatever sentence she wants. The plea deal is what the feds and giudices have agreed to. She doen’t have to abide by it at all. They usually do, but the morons are pushing their luck.

I truly hope the judge sees that this continued lying/hiding of assets just shows they’ve learned nothing thus far and gives them a harsher sentence than the plea deal would have.
But… Am I the only one who feels their sentencing was not long enough? Is there more to come?
I mean how many counts were they charged with again? I hear the fact that, they have 4 kids was taken into consideration.
What about all the people who have had their kids in jail during their jail time? And how many parents are doing long stints in jail for crying out loud
Some how I feel like they got celebrity justice.
Someone please enlighten me on my grievances.
Might there be any chsnce that seemingly reckless conduct by the Giudices may be a ruse to seek an appeal if sentences seem too heavy handed, because their counsel failed to have the Giudice’s paperwork checked to ensure that figures and notations therein were all accurate and above question? Wondering. Anybody?
I was a Teresa sympathizer-I really thought she had remorse and regret for what she had done. I thought she was ready to admit fault and plead for mercy and wait for her husband to be released from jail. But sounds like she hasn’t learned a thing. Not a thing. No remorse, no regrets, she isn’t even trying to tell the truth and play the dumb card-that could have helped her! Instead it is more lies, more “what if we say this, don’t put down EVERYTHING on the form”-well I have seen the light. If she wasn’t going to jail before, she will now and I’m so sorry for her children. Arrividerce Teresa-now you and Danielle Staub will have something else in common-jail birds! Danielle karma served you well.
I’m glad that you woke and wised up @vivala. Tho I’ve been over the Giudices for years, I too question if Teresa learned, considering her ring thing with Gia, and her filmed segment in prayer seeking protection from evildoers & their deeds, which in her case is law enforcers, the courts and court officers. I was aghast that she would go before a very just God, who hates unrepentant sinfulness. At that point, I figured thay she either was too dim, or proud to fully shoulder what she had done when she dollars, opulence and social position her Holy Trinity which she protected with tooth and nail, protectting the sick legacy she built for her children to observe and emulate, and forsaking humilty, forgiveness and her relationships with family members the hateful plot and lies. Mercy she sought today was NOWHERE in her mind. She should thank God for her sentence and clear evidence of His intervention expressed through the Judge’s moderation and mercy. Sad to say though, I doubt that she has yet to thank Him for her and Joe’s sentences, knowing damn well that both could have gotten far worse.
They just continue to spit in everyone’s face.
Perhaps Tre can write her first prison cookbook. Wonder what the cover photo shoot will be? Orange is the new black if you are a RH felon.
The Camp Cupcake Book of Desserts and Bake Sale Goodies.
Ha!! She could even make a prison fabellini, I saw on one of those lock up shows they make their own liquor in prison.
And do her own prison make up line with koolaid, colored pencils, magic markers. I think she and Joe deserved to go to prison, but I do feel sad for them. They got sucked into the fame whoredom and I don’t think they really looked at what they were doing and the consequences. I don’t think Tre really comprehended the impact of her crimes until sentencing. I am sure they didn’t think banks were real people and if you don’t file taxes the IRS won’t notice. Greedy and Stupid plus they have bad taste in clothes and furnishings, all $25 k of them.
I agree with that. I believe they deserve prison time. But somehow I think a lot of this went right over her head. Yes, she knew she was wrong, but I honestly don’t think she grabbed the gravity of the situation. And strange as this might sound once she is actually in custody, I honestly think she will do ok in there. She’ll be assigned a job, get a routine down and deal with it.
I think Bravo famedom it is like absolute power; it corrupts absolutely.

Just heard that Joe Giudice sentenced to 41 months in prison and two years supervised release
Did you read the title of this post before you posted that?
Exactly when did Joe “decide” he was hulimited? Looks like this judge isn’t an idiot, these two morons have finally found out that stupidity isn’t a defense.
Anyone know when they will have to begin serving their sentences?
~ Am relieved to read that Judge Esther is not suffering fools lightly.
~ As far as Tre making $ in a few years, I doubt it. Her diehard fans
have no clout, either.
So was the actual sentence 53 months but since some charges have concurrent sentencing it is reduced to 41 months??????????
Court resumes at 2.

He only has a 10000 dollar fine? Does that mean they don’t have to sell their “stuff”. Ie houses ect.?
I read Joe’s fine is $400K
Either way, their fine and what they owe the creditors have nothing to do with each other. They’re bankruptcy filing was thrown out. Am I right?
wrong again. that is restitution. Which is why I hate “I read somewhere” comments.

I’m betting he will get the substance abuse treatment time reduction so a little time will get shaved off. He’s been filmed falling down drunk so many times that’s easy to argue for a lawyer.
No, UF. His sentence was 41 months with two years probation to follow.
I am not a Tre hugger and 100% believe that what they did was wrong.. but could it be that they are not intentionally lying but are just that dumb? Or at the very least that she is just that dumb?
No. Just no. Hiding assets from the Feds again when you’ve already plead guilty to financial fraud before?
Joe Giudice is dumb like a fox.
So you think when Tre was supposed to list her jewelry and said she didn’t have any, she is too dumb to remember the big ass ring she got when Joe called her a cunt? Or any of her other jewelry?

Hmmmm 41 months does not seem like much considering they have no remorse! I hope that Joe does not get deported and their creditors hound them for along time! I mean getting deported would be like starting over and of course no restitution would ever be paid.
T, when the court says 41 months, does that mean it’s 41 months for sure, or can Joe get out early?
he will serve 85% PLUS if his attorney can get him in the alcohol program, that will reduce his time A LOT.

I wonder if Teresa can come up with a substance addiction in time to qualify for treatment too.
Not sure if this has been addressed in all the comments, but my father went to federal prison in 1999. He had to serve 85% in prison then 15% in a halfway house. But things may have changed in 15 years.

One down. Why is it that I feel worse for Joe than Teresa? Even if they were to get the same sentences (which I know is not even possible), I am still feeling more sad for Joe for some reason. Don’t get me wrong, I am glad that he is being held accountable for his crimes, but I do like him. He does a really good sad/defeated face that breaks my heart. I think it reminds me of my Dad, and/or one of my exes faces when they were at a really low point. *sigh
Now to see how Teresa makes out…
I think it’s because Teresa is just so dumb, annoying and in denial about what her part in this is. Joe is a thief but he’s not annoying, and seems to have some intelligence. Of course, he was stupid to think they could get away with this. But, I know what you mean.
If Joe goes in next month he could be eligible for home confinement in July of 2017. My math is weak but here goes,85% of 41 months serve last 10% of sentence in home confinement. Two year probation tail.
The Joe has a drinking problem card has been played by his lawyer. Hum…
Apparently Teresa is going first-it would seems he would have some pre-custodial time to work on his drinking problem, lucky man he gets those girls full time and no booze.
Yep, I was just coming to post that exact thing Angel. In Joe’s case it is likely to be true. He doe drink a lot on camera… and he had had a DUI or two… I think.
Will they have that in the prison where he will go, or will he go somewhere then prison? And will it be in Jersey, do you know? How does that work? So glad we have you, TT!
TT… you’re right! Times like this, his DUI’s will come in handy. His lawyer also needs to drag the footage out of the Bravo vault of him doing that effed-up karate move and breaking his tooth on the marble floor of that gavonne palace.
What a motley crew they all look like, schlepping into Court,
Although Tre & Joe are being sentenced today, can’t they appeal the decision, thus keeping them out of jail for years to come?
Stephen I don’t think they can appeal when it’s a plea deal.
That’s right, I had not thought of that, Thanks.
No. When you accept a plea deal you waive your right to appeal.

Wow, you really have us covered! 🙂
So does this mean deportation if off the table? If they were planning on deporting him after he served his sentence why add on two years of supervised release? Wouldn’t he just go straight from jail to customs? Unless maybe that’s an indicator of what her sentence is going to be. 41 months for him then two years supervised release to allow him to stay here and raise the girls while she serves that two years in lockup.
TRe will do her jail time first. This court has no jurisdiction over deportation. That decision will be made by the proper authorities after his sentence is carried our.

Let’s see the princess sleeping on a plastic mattress,pantiloons, no push up bra, one that someone else wore, white socks, plastic flip flops OMG, she so DESERVES this so much!!!
How does the judge decide who goes first? Is it based on sentence length?
Ok I’m being very serious in this post, please don’t attack me! For the love of God, could someone make sure that Gia does not have a full face of make up and skin tight clothing on when she goes to visit her father in jail? Really I am concerned with the way that 13 year old is allowed to dress. Poor Gabriella, I have always felt she was closer to Joe than Teresa.
Angel(?), you have a kind heart.
I wonder how much medication Teresa is on right now
Imodium for sure.
Imodium. Oh…so funny!
Lol……the first time I laughed in here in a while. Thanks
I always wondered how they were able to continue their lavish lifestyle. They still have their home, cars, furnishings, etc. Did we not see Teresa give Gia a diamond necklace or ring? I don’t believe for a minute she has no jewelry. She probably sold it to her mother for a $1. SO the furnishings belong to BRAVO, the designer purses belong to Bravo, the show is trying to maintain their lavish lifestyle, all the while, it will hurt the Gudices in the end. This show was their downfall. Teresa keeps asking “why is this happening to us?” The answer my dear, is BRAVO.
Its call greed. You built this outlandish home, with all the best material that money could buy. Money was no problem. Only the best. You went furniture shopping, buying $6000 couches, (oh no, not one but 2) and said “I want this and that, and this , and this, and that”. Then you counted out $100’s and $1000’s while giggling to Jac, that you always paid in cash. RED ALERT! RED ALERT! All the while us poor folk watched in envy. Hmmmm, I guess so was the FED’s, and they weren’t envious, they wanted to know why. Greed, gluttony, its a sin. I don’t wish them ill, the public humiliation probably hurts more than any jail sentence. After all, wasn’t that the sole purpose? The image of being very wealthy? Joe can handle the jail sentence, he reminds me of a wiseguy. 3 1/2 year stint aint nothing, he will learn how to scam even better from the other cons. Teresa, not so sure, shes been too pampered and lived her “fabulous” lifestyle too long. But then again, she is a celebrity, she might be very popular with the other inmates.
Well said Gemini
Envy? Hell no. I vividly recall when I saw her counting out cash, her speech, manner and tastes. My conclusion was “Mobbed up.” No envy from me. I knew she’d pay for it somehow some day.
OK so let me get this straight…this past summer Teresa’s attorney made a public statement on her behalf about an apology, her remorse, and that she would take accountability after their plea deal hearing. Just so I’m clear here, they then went forward and withheld asset information that had already been audited by the feds????? Jesus H! I mean, it is an insult to the word stupid to even classify these bottom feeding scumbags in the same category!!!
someone posted that they read that joe was fined over 400 grand. that amount is his restitution to the people he frauded, and his court fine is 10 grand.
My mistake, I apologize for the misinformation
What’s taking so long!?!?!
I find the 25K in furniture laughable. I am middle-middle class and I have over 25K in content in my home. This is a really bad lie. It is most likely why the judge is so pissed because no one in their right mind would believe this EVEN if Bravo furnished the house – they own more than that.
Go to jail already …..both of you !
I know the plea deal is already in place, but I would have loved if the Giudices would have tried to contest their sentence. They do not get the judge would definitely had thrown the book at them and given them far more time after delaying sentencing because they did not report their assets. I have no sympathy for either of them because they have flaunted their ill gotten gains before the world and acted like persecuted martyr victims every since all of this came to light. The children will be fine and justice will finally be served. Perjury charges and contempt of court charges have never been more deserved of two convicts.
Updated again.
Oh shit!
Refresh refresh refresh refresh refresh!
Why is Tre’s sentence taking so long? I thought all this was figured out all ready. Man, I got work to do and can’t tear myself away from the news.
Will they go directly to jail or have MORE time to enjoy prior?
I believe they are given so many days to report. Just like Apollo.
I’ve been waiting for this day since season one, when she pulled that wad of bills to pay $120,000 cash for that gaudy furniture. I remember turning to my husband and saying ‘they’re so stupid, they’ll be getting audited’. I think she’ll get prison too… Bravo will probably give them or her a spin off about her struggles and how she’s a better person after its all over.
I bet it would all be worth it to her if she got her own spinoff
Ummmm…the reason MANY people slow down and veer away from criminal activities is BEACUSE they have kids to raise. Teresa and Joe were well aware of this. Them continuing to lie shows that they truly have zero remorse.
I’m literally ashamed to admit this, but I ordered subs for dinner cause my lazy, nosy arse has been laying around reading updates all afternoon…. At least I showered and put on a clean Tshirt and leggings. I may need some sort of rehab to ween me off this once today is over…
Is there a live feed to watch the newest news as it comes in?
No.
Subs sound good to me.
They were totally yummy! Subs, chips and a piece of cheesecake!
I made carbonara and a bibb and pear salad. Rather have the subs and cheesecake.
Oh god a pear salad sounds so good. Since all my surgeries and stuff I really can’t eat a lot of raw fruit and vegetables they have to be cooked down, and I have only a few I can really digest with out making me sick.. But that just sounds soooo good.
Can you eat canned fruit? Peel a bosc pears From the bottom core the fruit. Poach in a fruity white wine like a Riesling with sugar or honey to taste, a vanilla bean and two whole cloves. Poach until tender. Serve with vanilla ice cream with warm chocolate sauce. Don’t use chocolate syrup. Use a good hot fudge. En France on dit poire Hélène. Use a modestly priced wine. Blue Nun works well.
That sounds wonderful! I haven’t tried canned fruit, but I think I will try this and just eat a little bite and see how it goes. That’s really how I have to try things. I’m thinking that canned pear and with poaching it may do ok. Cause they are already softer than fresh ones.
Thanks for that! I will try this weekend and let you know how it goes!
Supposed to have an answer in 5 minutes.
Thank God I’m not a nail biter or I’d be bleeding by now!
YES!!! LOL I’m hitting refresh on twitter and here like my life is depending on it.
You’ll get Twitter thumb.
Hey Joe, take Melania with you!
That’s mean! She’s a little girl…jerkwad!
Milania needs boot camp. Federal prison isn’t gonna get her in line.
She WAS cute for a few, then she turned just crazy annoying & did they just give up on manners & discipline?
…Well, I guess they DID have bigger fish to fry.
I’ll never forget Teresa in the grocery store with Melania when she was about 2 or 3. Teresa was on the phone and Melania was rubbing her butt all over the fruits and vegetables. I hope that doesn’t turn you off to a pear salad, Melissa. I just had a whole small can of pears into pear salad by myself this week Yummy. 🙂
OMG I still can’t get over that scene. I went off on Teresa’s parenting skills for that because I don’t think rubbing ecoli all over other peoples dinner is “adorable.” Oh the Tre huggers were angry.

SHE GOT 15 YEARS
i mean months ..I think that is fair
I’m just glad to see they both have to do some time! I feel really bad for the girls, but their parents are bad people. Being caught lying to the judge today just continues to show they are not at all sorry for what they have done, just sorry they got caught!
They got off lighter than they otherwise would have because they spawned a shitload of kids. Also, the typical plea agreement requires the defendant to waive any right to appeal.
She did this to herself. I feel if they were honest, filed their taxes, paid back the $244,000, not LIED and correctly disclosed their assets, she may have gotten house arrest. You reap what you sow…. I wish them luck…. next…
They are idiots! Now was the time to disclose everything and scrap all their income until they could clearly demonstrate their taxes were paid back. If they did that Teresa might have been saved from jail time. What the hell is wrong with them! I don’t get it!
I didn’t realize that just loving your family can get you a better sentence. WTF?
I saw a picture of Joe at the NJ site you put in your article. He is white as a sheet. I guess there is no way to get ahead of the fear that comes with prison time.
Oh yeah..Joe is a loving husband.
One who called his wife a cunt on national tv. One who cheated on his wife many times. And for sure he is a wonderful father. One who put his children through hell for money. One who couldn’t be bothered to set aside some of those stolen millions for college educations for those children. Yes….Joe is a loving husband and father….who should get a slap on the wrist. I may go and vomit now.
15 months, she got off easy.
Only 15 months? So she’ll do a year? Please tell that she is going to an actual jail!
Wonder if it will be like that place Martha Stewart went?
I bet she’ll go to Camp Cupcake like Martha Stewart. Teresa certainly does not seem to have the self discipline and strength of Martha Stewart.
She’ll be fine at camp cupcake. She’ll have lots of fans in there. I’m serious.

Teresa is going to spend her prison sentence worried who Joe is banging. Her daughters will be spending quality time with the grandparents and aunts and uncles. Can’t wait to see the yard sale Joe has with all of Teresa’s stuff. I think Joe will enjoy the freedom away from Teresa.
Happy wife, lots of strife? Good! I’m glad they both got jail time Bc they clearly didn’t take this seriously at all. I hope the harsh reality will help rehabilitate them of their selfishness, stupidity, and hubris
Teresa should make arrangements to go in ASAP so she doesn’t have to do two Christmases in the slammer.
These two morons still think they can escape punishment for sheer stupidity. Using your children to draw sympathy is disgraceful. Neither one of them was thinking about their children when they were committing a crime. They both have to suffer the consequences of their actions. You got caught, take your punishment like an adult and deal with it. It is sad that they both continue to lie. They should get even time for lying under oath. They are only hurting themselves and the kids. I feel sorry for them not the adults.
I feel sad for this family. I like this entire family, Joe, Teresa, and the girls. I have enjoyed watching them. No they are not perfect no one is. This will certainly change the entire dynamics of the RHONJ. I obliviously feel different, when it comes to Apollo and Phaedra. RHOA would be much more enjoyable without both of them. Their baby boys are cute. We can agree to disagree. I will keep the Giudice’s in my prayers. I am praying Teresa sentencing includes staying home with her girls. Thank you, for this sad news.
No tears shed here. I do not feel sorry for this family at all — I’m glad the judge didn’t falter upon seeing the show Teresa put on in court. The girls will be fine, I have no doubt about that. There are several children in this country that are MUCH poorer and have it far worse than Tre’s girls. For all we know, a pity fund will be set up to finance their “future”. A lot of other children do not have that.
The reunion will be one huge sympathy party for the Giudices. Good riddance!
Carolyn, you are entitled to your opinion but yes no one is perfect. However how many of us go around committing bank and morgage fraud, tax evasion, and purgery? All to be on a tv show? They are grifters who were stupid enough to flaunt everything in front of America. I don’t feel sorry for them at all. I just wonder how they will spin it to the children! I don’t think Teresa’s reality is the same as the rest of us.
I agree with you 100%. The girls will be just fine and better off than so many other children in the country. Not worried about them at all. Not to be mean, just how I feel.
You are praying for people who commit crime?? Really? I mean far be it from me to STOP YOU, but I thought religion & prayers was supposed to be for GOOD PEOPLE…
God I hate organized religion! You ppl really need to reevaluate yourselves. Pray for the children? Why? Did the parents think about their children when their pathetic fraud asses stole money from the government? MONEY THAT AFFECTS INNOCENT PEOPLE who’s taxes went up? Whom can’t get a small business loan or a mortgage???? Go get down on ur knees tonight and pray for the vile POS Giudices! Good for you!
If you choose to pray to higher power there is no prejudice.
I frankly don’t care if you stay lay or pray for these 2.
“You people.” Really. Get off YOUR damned pulpit.
So your friend who was involved in the 1982 Astoria armored car robbery is okay, and he profited from his crime with the movie is an okay person and praying for children, who are victims of their parents’ crime, is wrong.
Prayers are not just for good people. If religion was just for good people, the churches, mosques, synagogues, and temples would be empty.
I fear for your blood pressure. Also, the children didnt committ fraud. Nothing wrong with people praying for them or for their parents for that matter. They are the innocents.
Prayers and mercy and compassion arent just for the good and are for people who have lost their way or doing bad. Get off your high horse.
Prayer and organized religion have nothing to do with each other. There are many people who don’t practice any particular religion who pray. Prayers are only for good people??? Okie dokie then…
So it is obvious that you don’t know jack about religion. Jesus said he came for the sick and poor in spirit. Of course Christians pray for unbelievers. One of my favorite sayings about the people in the church is “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” Why would you care who or how Carolyn D. King prays?
@ Carolyn d king . God said no . Theresa has to go to jail for one of the deadly sins ….Greed. We’ll leave out all the others.
They were stupid to even present the letter from Joe’s mother saying all he needed was slap on wrist! Who proof read and approved that Theresa 🙂
So what happens now do she get to turn herself in later or do she go straight to jail!!
The letter from Juicy’s mom should never have been read. I heard nothing about letters from “concerned citizens” being read.
She reports on 1/5/15

You would think with the high dollar attorneys someone might have drafted a letter saying he is my firstborn son and now that my husband has passed I need him more than ever. The slap on the wrist was just plain stupid.
I wonder if we will ever be able to see the ruling on the concerned letters. Apparently, Joe had numerous characters letters-submitted to the court but not read into the record. I am curious, what they did for five hours.
That has to be the stupidest thing anyone could write in a letter of that sort. He should get a “slap on the wrist”. I don’t ever remember hearing that phrase used in a positive way. That particular letter can’t be one that made the judge have any mercy on him. It sounds like it pissed her off, as it should.
TT, do you think bravo is going to release any statements through their website? Or do you think they will wait until an interview is done with Teresa? And do you think she will still do the interview?
I was wondering the same thing.
Monday night 9pm-a very special WWHL with Teresa Giudice.
Wow. I am a big Tre fan and I was hoping she’d be given house arrest-but, she did herself no favors trying to hide assets from the judge. Having said that, sounds like the judge might have watched a few episodes of RHONJ! I hope Teresa learns her lesson. I bet she’s scared stiff
If I am not mistaken they will both do time in federal prisons . Which
in my understanding are not as bad as going to state prisons. Does anyone know if there is a womens prison in New Jersey??
I don’t think so.
What is it with these “celebrity” trials that the sentencing is always so light, when pretty much the entire nation is looking for the opposite? It happens over and over and over and I just don’t see the correlation.
Joe’s mom thinks he deserves a SLAP ON THE WRIST? It really counts for something that your equally shady, criminal family members write you supportive letters?
So if you don’t have have kids, nor an extensive family, you get more time?
They got to submit their letters – so lets read the letters from past employees and victims that were financially ravaged by their reckless financial bullshit to FAKE SHOW-OFF TO BE MOCKED FOR 6 YEARS ON A TV SHOW.
Actually, there were several letters and phone calls to the judge from “concerned citizens.” She opted not to put them into evidence or read them in court but I have a feeling they influenced her.

Have you ever been to one of those country club prisons, fivecats? I went to one outside Birmingham, Alabama about 30 years ago. My best friend’s cousin was doing time for powder cocaine (it was big back then). Her brother was a doctor with a private plane so we flew. A beautiful place with a golf course; I think it was on a military base. The first thing I saw when we rode up to the gate was 2 windows for take-out, Pizza Hut or KFC in a nice patio area with tables with umbrellas. Our visit was a dud b/c her cousin was on a week-end pass and was at a motel with his girlfriend. The cousin’s job was to mow the grass on the golf course. You just can’t make this stuff up cause who would believe that was prison life?
Never been to one, but gosh. I don’t think Danbury is that nice, but the grounds are beautiful. I googled it.
Lol. There is something so ironic, and maybe even biblical about this. Not that I’m a Danielle Staub fan, but I remember how they tried to burn the woman at the stake for mugshots from like thirty years ago. Now Theresa is a convicted FELON, oh how the mighty have fallen.
I was just thinking the same thing!!!
My sentiments exactly. I hate personal attacks and those who take part in them just to go along with the gang. Now Tre has a GOOD reason to flip tables and yell…but this time, she’ll be yelling
RESTITUTION WHORE!!!!!!!!!!
Hilarious!!! I think this whole thing has turned into a circus. Their attorneys are the worst!! It seems as though they wanted the judge to send them to prison, albeit a light sentence imo. Who on earth would let their client read a letter with the words “slap on the wrist” which is a derogatory term used for those who get away with something?? What a joke. Doesn’t sound like they had good counsel at all.
Thank god it’s over, I need to do a few chores! Happy, happy with the outcome, hope they actually learn a lesson. My wish list- no more tv time for T & J, downsize there lifestyle, stay away from family members that think this behavior is acceptable, save college money for girls, T find a man that drinks less, cand drive a car and that has a job. Do you think the marriage will survive?
I actually think their marriage will survive. I mean what else can they really do other then stick together at this point?
Well let’s see… Teresa is going to be in prison for over a year while Joe is on the outside. Hmmmmm… It’s just a good thing she’s going first, otherwise she would probably come home to find him in a new relationship she would have to contend with.
That aside, prison does change people, so you never know. I think it breaks more people up then bring them closer for sure! At least they’re going to cushy federal prison. Between the two sentences they are going to be apart for over 5 years. Also, how will they do on the outside, when this is all done, no riches… average USED home… Bravo cameras long gone.
Tamara do you think any of this will have a positive effect on Teresa’s brother, Joe and his nefarious dealings? Just wondering….
Joe and Melissa are definitely going to have a day when their finances completely fall apart. Melissa will leave him. But as long as they don’t lie when they inevitably file for bankruptcy they won’t be in as bad of a situation as Teresa and Joe.
If Joey and Melissa default on their loans you can bet your bippy that the bankers will carefully scrutinize their loan applications for “irregularities”…
I guess she really thought that she was going to get off with no time served. Welcome to ACTUAL REALITY!
So she reports January 5th, I read somewhere. Anyone else read that?
For the love of cake! What the fuck..over? I am disgusted at this clusterfuck we call the judicial system. Handing down reparations to fucking thieves? How exactly does that work? That was a rhetorical question. I’m up to my brows with the whole ‘mommy card’. Fuck that noise,man.
I need Pinot noir IV STAT! Then after the drip takes effect maybe, just maybe, I could possibly understand the bullshit.
I was refreshing your twitter all afternoon Tamara. Keep eyes peeled toward jar. ( you want me to add scratch now or during mid drip)
Pantaloons OUT!
I never liked T, but I really do feel sorry for her now.
She she has to report by January 5th. At least she gets to spend Christmas with her family before she has to go.
It’s not going to be a happy Christmas with this having over their heads. I would almost rather go as soon as possible to get it over with and be home next year for Christmas.
At least she doesn’t have a lot of packing to do. Going away to this College doesn’t require too much. As a matter of fact, I don’t think you can bring anything in. Anyone know the rules? Must you have items sent to you so they’re screened or can you carry in a bag of personal items, clothes, etc?
You are stripped and everything is taken from you, then you buy shit from the jail store. I get all my info from OITNB the book. It was really good The audio book is about 11 hours which was exactly the driving distance between Atlanta and St Johns Island and back. Apparently they were out of radios for quite a long time and that was traumatic. Piper got lucky and was taken under a couple people’s wing (as I predict Tre will be) and all the girls brought her slippers and toothpaste and what not as soon as she checked in.
You really should listen to the book on your next road trip. The tapes were kind of pricey but worth it. The best audio book EVER for a road trip is Waiting to exhale. It gets to the point where the reader just introduces a new chapter by saying “Savannah” or “Bernadine” and you are already cracking up.

I’ve gotta say, I worked in a courtroom for 30 years, mostly in criminal court, and I never saw a defendant given three months to report to serve a sentence.
Really? Wow. I thought that might’ve been common for criminals with children so they could make arrangements. Interesting
Often defendants, even ones with children, are carted right off to prison to be classified. They’re expected to have made arrangements for their children before sentencing.
Jd.
Was it a federal courtroom that you worked in? Iwas under the impression that federal judges can allow those convicted to self surrender in some cases. I’ve heard of it before, although three months may be a stretch.
I’ve never heard of it happening in astate courtroom though
I think it was the three month wait time that was HIGHLY unusual. It surely seemed like she was letting them all be home for Christmas. Which is ridiculous.

I wonder how they will address them being in prison next season on rhnj. If Melissa and Joe are still on the show surely they would mention it.
I’m going to make a prediction here…. Bravo starts filming next season and included Teresa (in at least a friend role) preparing herself for prison, last Christmas with the kids, big send-off party for her. The season will end with her going to jail on Jan 5.
If it were me… Thank God it is not… I am law-abiding, I would want to start serving immediately. She has 4 months to sit around and think about it.
I hate to write this but I hope that she doesn’t start abusing prescription pills to alter her mood. Sitting on the nightmare for four months of going to prison might make someone like her suicidal. I hope she’s able to stay strong for those girls.
This is how reality works. You break the law, and you serve the time. If these were regular people, this would not have been dragged out so long, and they’d be facing tougher sentences.
That all being said, Teresa is by far my favorite housewife over all the season, and I’m sad to see her going through this due to her own mistakes. I’m a proud TreHugger, but it looks like the tree is finally coming down.
Same here. Compared to the sentence they were originally facing this is still a ‘good’ outcome for the both of them. I just hope their family rally to look after their kids and Joe and Melissa don’t repeat Tre’s mistakes.
Every indicator points to the Gorga’s being just as bad. Melissa coming onto the show and proclaiming that “We pay our bills” in comparison to Tre is such a crock of you know what. It’s my opinion that a lot of people in this particular circle engage in shady business. Some are just lucky enough not to get caught and others are too arrogant to think they never will…
I always say, if you’re going to be a horrible person and cheat and lie, at least be good at it.
Yeah I’m not a fan of the Gorgas but they do have kids like Joe and Tre so I hope they at least try to avoid the same outcome. The way people are relishing in the outcome is a bit sad. That TMZ guy was a dick.
Life is fair and it all evens out.
Oooohhhhh, can Andy have Caroline and Lauren on tonight?! What was Caroline’s prediction…Joe off to college….Teresa divorces Joe …… Teresa writes a book and plays victim. First prediction – check and bonus Teresa goes to jail too.
I’m not a huge Tre fan by any means, however, my mother’s heart bleeds a little for her at the thought of being away from her children. Yes, she committed crimes and stupidly lied to the courts, but she loves those kids. Kids are cruel on a good day and the things she and Joe have now subjected their girls too… Kills me.
TT, why is Tre going first? Could Joe get a spinoff of him and the girls while Tre is gone? Was any of Tre’s family there? Or joes?
By having her go first it avoids the girls being parent less should Joe be deported when he completes his sentence…
Wow! I was one of “those people” that thought she would get in house arrest. I’m SO glad I was wrong. I can admit it, don’t judge me 🙂 I think it’s only fair that Teresa get some jail time and while it must suck, don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. There’s a part of me that feels bad for Teresa. I think I have come to the point where I accept you can’t fix stupid though. I’m not sure jail will either, but it may make a dent in her understanding. I’m hoping something good will come from all this sense of entitlement and arrogance 🙂
Loved your comments, Gingersnap. I also assumed she would get house arrest, but a quite pleased that she actually has to do the time. I think the chances are that more good will come from that. However with Teresa (and Joe for that matter), it’s hard to say because of the stupid & ignorance factors. I guess we’ll see. Joe with the girls should be interesting. Maybe Filomena will move in to help out. I’d rather see Joe have to do it all on his own though.
After that letter of Filomena’s, Joe may decide she has “helped out” enough…lol. Jeeze. Is denial hereditary?!
OMG! The TMZ reporter asked her on the way out of court “Teresa have you been watching Orange is the New Black? It can teach you a lot of lessons about being in jail!” LMAO!!!!
I wonder to what extent the lying on the pre-sentencing disclosure got them a harsher sentence? So incredibly stupid of them. Lying about their assets is what got them in this mess in the first place.

Oh my, I had been looking so forward with lots of anticipation to today, expecting it to be a lot of fun here at TTs, but then I guess I forgot. When I finally woke up verylate this morning, in a lot of pain as usual, I reached for my med but absentmindedly took the nighttime meds instead of pain meds. So then took the pain meds anyway. I won’t remember any of today tomorrow, so maybe I better take notes or perhaps just relive it all tomorrow as if its a surprise. OY 🙁
Sorry you are feeling poorly. We can do it all over again tomorrow if you want to. I can’t remember things very well myself lately, so it will be all new to me!
@Lindy I can relate as one who has been challenged by chronic pain for nearly the padt twelve years. I have done exactly the same as you, too. It not only is an annoyance and can screw with your schedule/plans for the day, but it also can present a danger. I’ve found I sort and place my daytime and nighttime meds in color-coded pill boxes to identify which box contains what pills, I drastically reduce occurances of error as well as associated annoyance and risks. Include any OTC meds that you may use in your pill box, because in many cases OTCs may be more dangerous with greater potential to screw up your organs, even senses, (even heighten the affects of your prescribed drugs) than prescription meds may. Hang in! ☺
TMZ has video of Tre leaving the court house.The photog is a POS at filmin and harasses Tre asking is she is a fan of Orange is the new black several times.

That is just nasty and vile. I don’t know what possesses people to be so cruel to strangers.
Man. She looks almost as butch as her brother, Joe, without her war paint. Here’s to the redeeming affect of expertly applied makeup!
I love the T & J show, it takes balls to go into court today and stay gangster and remain true to themselves, and not be remorseful for one damn thing except getting caught. That is straight Jersey!
Best Comment Ever Bravogirl 24/7 !!!!!!!
How did they “stay gangster”? They both cried! I do agree that they are only remorseful for getting caught but how is that “gangster”? Did you mean that as a compliment? And what makes it “straight Jersey”? These two represent the “gangsters” of Jersey? True gangsters should be offended by that comparison.
Is it really that hard to detect sarcasm? Damn you internet!
I’m really stuck on this Tulsateacher. You being an educator and all, and don’t go loopy cause I have educators in the family. But in your extensive research in this case, do you truly believe T&J were crying because they were sorry and remorseful? In as early as weeks they were falsifying financial documents for the courts. Yea but they were crying before the judge. That’s always the very best indicator of true remorse ” tears” .
Teresa going to jail is the VERY BEST thing that could have ever happened to her. And she and Joe never said they were sorry for stealing. They stayed gangsta true to who they really are.
I never said they cried because they were sorry for what they had done; I mentioned that because crying at sentencing doesn’t seem very “gangster”. I know you were trying to be sarcastic. Don’t get pissy with me because your “sarcasm” didn’t succeed. It does take a good writer to do sarcasm well. I suggest you give Jonathan Swift a read. He’s neither “straight Jersey” or “gangster” so you might not understand his sarcasm so I’ll warn you in advance that he did not really intend for the starving Irish to eat their babies.
I think BBQ babies would taste delicious.
Sorry. I thought we could use some TeeCee sort of comments here as she is clearly off getting rehab somewhere. Allegedly.

The fantasy life provided by stealing and lying continues though, some how? I hope they change and really begin to live within their means. Just thinking about all that stolen cash spent on gaudy clothes and tacky furniture… nuts!
Wouldn’t it be ironic if Teresa ended up in the same prison where the Prostitution Whore served her time (cause she “got arrested”)!
So do I just watch too much TV or will she get harassed by the HBIC female crew when she goes in and people start recognizing her?
They’ll sarcastically greet her, and then block the doorway when she tries to walk out:
“So bitch you think you’re tough shit? Think you’re kool cause everyone knows who you is? Think you’re too good for us? THIS FIST IS TOO GOOD FOR YOUR FACE”
I just want to see her get taken down Piper style — she’ll have to wear USED JUMPSUITS, learn to curl her hair using warm tampons, and maybe even befriend a few lice.
I really think they will be nice to her. I have not watched OITNB but I listened to the book on tape over Xmas break. Piper had it pretty easy. Pretty goes a long way in prison. Federal prison anyway.
That said, without makeup she looks like this… http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2012/09/09/teresa-giudice-without-make-up-and-hair/
So who knows.
That picture is 2 years old, she has had work done since then. 1st time commenting love your site
Was it the obvious date on the blog that gave it away?
Seriously you’ve never seen it?! You might be in dangerous territory reading the book beforehand – all the subconscious comparisons between the two – but I loove it.
Like most people you’re probably tired of hearing about it, but if you’ve ever seen Weeds she brought that same dark humor over.
Have not watched OITNB? Oh dear, oh dear… wait till that book comes alive on screen. You will trip. My emotional glycemic index takes a dive when I run out of episodes. Thank God for The Bridge, Magic City, Ray Donavon, Masters of Sex, House of Cards, Hell on Wheels, Sons of Anarchy… and so on!
Oooh, SaraSally, I love The Bridge. Loved Longmire, too, and A&E has cancelled it. I like the new series after Scandal, How To Get Away With Murder. Viola Davis is wonderful. I watched Stalked this week and I really liked it, too.
@ Tamara ..They may be nice to her initially but she’s so dumb that she won’t be able to turn on her acting skills so she will act as if the jailed women are beneath her and then she’ll get beat up.
I don’t think so she will be scared to death. If Martha can be queen of the pen, so can Tre. I have faith in her for that and I honestly want he to do well in prison. I think it will be a learning experience for her and I think a year is probably enough for her.

I’m surprised that Tre got any real time. The lies about their assets sunk them both. I know she never, ever thought they would put her in prison. I bet she still doesn’t think she’s really going. I’m sure she is having a nervous breakdown. But I agree with TT, she will do fine in confinement once she accepts she’s actually there and after the Valium wears off. And these vacation prisons don’t have violent offenders walking around looking to punch somebody out. These are non-violent, white collar crime offenders.
Okay TT – can you just clarify this for me so I’m sure I have it right. Teresa gets 15 months but doesn’t have to report till January – does that mean Joe won’t have to report until April 2016? Obviously a little bit sooner if she only has to serve the 80%??
She should be out by next Christmas probably. Then Joe will go right after so early 2016 for Giuseppe.
I suspect the judge gave her til Christmas for one reason alone. To move the girls to a house Joe and her can afford and get them settled in. Moving/liquudating a household that large takes an enormous amount of work.
I see the creditors for closing on the home since the bankruptcy was denied.
“… defense team argued that “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” does not show Joe Guidice for who he really is. They criticized the reality show for “editing situations to create fake drama”… FAME WHORES that’s what they are and they deserved everything they got. Too bad they didn’t get good edits on TV but that’s all part of being on reality TV. Suck it!
TT what will happen to their assets now? Auctions, leans etc… will they be left with anything?
Well they are 13 million dollars in debt. The firesale of all their properties has started. Their assets will be seized. It will not be pretty.

Everytime I felt sorry for them I would re-read this post from TT: All The Tea and Documents on Giudice Lawsuit. Including RHONJ SALARIES! Dated: July 2013.
I do feel sorry for the kids and was glad to hear that they can serve the sentences seperately so the girls will have one parent home.
I am satisfied with both sentences. If Joe had not led the way down a path of crime and financial cheating, Teresa would have never done this on her own.
Compared to light sentences often handed out to rapists, murderers, and big time Wall Street or CEO thief’s, this is enough time to slap some sense into them.
I think the public humiliation itself is pretty jarring. With all the attention this has gotten, I guess they truly are celebrities, look at the crowd of reporters and cameras.
I just heard that Teresa and Joe are going to sit down interview with Andy Cohen that would be taped for Watch What Happens Live. Its suppose to air in a couple of weeks.
As glad as I am that Tre is going to the big house, I really was hoping she would get a longer sentence. It could not be more obvious they have not learned their lesson. I predict more criminal activity. I don’t think they know any other way of life after doing this stuff for well over a decade. I also think there are probably other things that they got away with which will help encourage future fraudulent activity.
it really pisses me the obvious lies they told in court – like the furniture, like bravo providing everything including the moon and stars. How can they say get away with saying that crap and why didn’t any of it get verified from Bravo?
I really want to know how and why are they still in that house? How do they have anything, such as the nice white mercedes?
I really need to work on weaning myself off of Bravo. Anyone have any helpful tips to start the process?

Ha! I had a feeling I’d be hearing something like that soon. If it’s true, I wish they would give it some more time.. Maybe just try tweeking it first. Starting with the host. Replace him and don’t have him speak to us like we’re 2 years old, constantly explaining everything we just saw over and over. With cameras running 24 hours a day, they should certainly have so much more to show us instead of wasting time doing that. And enough with so much focus on some of these romantic hook ups.

I also watched a great show on FYI (formerly the BIO channel) called”Married At First Sight”. I am obsessed! It’s first season is over but you can watch it all “on demand” if you have comcast. It is a social experiment where 5 experts matched 3 couples to marry sight unseen for 5 weeks. At the end of the 5 weeks they decide if they want to stay married or get a divorce. Two of the couples decided to stay married and the now will show their first year of marriage starting in Jan.2015 on FYI. This show was awesome. You should watch it if you can TT. I would love to hear your recap as you’re the best!

When being a real crook and really dumb goes wrong .
So TT she going to a retreat like Martha Stewart or is she going to the how should I spell this “penatantry” as the old folks would say. I wonder who will have her kids.
Um, If you read the post, Tre is going first so the kids can be with him. She is going to a federal women’s prison. Things are much better there than in state prison, but it’s still prison.
It will be interesting to see if Joe can stay out of trouble for the next year and a half.
I hope Phedra is watching because she’s next.
Teresa should have gotten more jail. WHO drives to their sentence for fraud in a Mercedes?? And all the “why is this happening to me.” WTF…its happening because you are a greedy shallow liar. I wonder how those kids are going to turn out. Because Teresa is NOT going to take responsibility for what she had done. She will spin it to her kids and anyone who will listen. Melissa and Joe are next. The cardboard box house is falling apart. And still they maintain they are victims. The trip to the new lot for their big house….what a joke. Do they even realize that no one believes they are rich??
One thing I really can’t understand.. When ppl say “Omg I feel terrible this is happening to them. Or I pray they will not go to jail, etc etc. Umm not for nothing ppl but they BROKE THE LAW. Numerous times!! And stole tons and tons of money. It’s not being debated whether they did it or not, they pled GUILTY! So how can anyone say I’m so sorry this is happening to them.. Is beyond me! They did it to themselves. Not some accident that all that money they didn’t earn ended up in their bank accounts. And all of those who were praying for them not to go to jail.. How about praying that they be forgiven for what they did. Not pray that they don’t get in trouble. I can’t with this world sometimes.. I just can’t. Ok rant over lol
PREACH!
Well said! Those folks infuriate me.
Totally agree! These are people who use their materials possessions to look down their noses at other people. Just like Teresa’s comment years ago about how gross it was to live in other peoples houses. And they both wanted to get rich quick the easy way by stealing money. They did not wan to work and scrimp and save to open a business and then work years and years to make it. They wanted the big house and all the expensive without all the work and sacrifice.
I am old and should probably have little interest in the REALITY BS, but my neice, who is a REALITY JUNKIE, )holding a MBA and MS in education) LOVES it and, two years ago shared her two highest held GOSSIP MAVENS. TT was her first!! This was 2-1/2 years ago!! I am so pleased to have this legacy!!!

I don’t think that reveling in the fact that Teresa and Joe are going to prison is necessarily schadenfreude, and yes, I can pronounce it. Their “misfortunes” were self inflicted. They commited crimes and are being punished.
I’ve got the impression that people’s perception of sarcasm has dead, along with irony, and the purpose of a rhetorical question. Oh well.

Rehab makes no since. If he’s not going away until after how can they ask for that. Makes no since…you’re an alcoholic but u have to wait to go to rehab.
Being greedy and shady while telling all those lies. Damn, if Joe and Teresa’s children are their life, they really just gave away valuable time with them by conspiring to gain all that money and materialistic bull$hit. That crap ain’t worth leaving your kids behind.
Alcoholism didn’t get them here. Teresa and her greed did. She’s the one that wanted the house, that all this greed and fraud stems from. Joe didn’t give a damn, he just wanted his affairs. He wanted to set up the Manzo situation for he and Teresa. He gives her a big house and family. She looks the other way at his numerous affairs. He never could afford the house, unlike Al Manzo. He could not have borrowed a cent without Teresa, he had to use her to get all the fraudulent loans. She knew the phony W-2’s for the phony jobs and income were so she could get her dream house. She’s the most culpable.
That poster congratulating these two criminals for being pure in your face Jersey, that’s how our economy tanked in 2008, too many bad loans to criminals like these.
I just heard that Teresa and Joe are going to sit down interview with Andy Cohen that would be taped for Watch What Happens Live. It will air on Monday! One-one Special! Don’t miss it!
Supposedly, Teresa is contractually obligated to interview with Andy for Bravo, before they can make statements or do interviews, paid or otherwise, with any other media. I do not see how that could be binding for Joe, it is not his contract. I doubt he wants to speak to anyone, especially without remuneration, and without Teresa. I imagine she will toe the line in hopes of still having a future job in reality TV.
Joe does not get PAID for the show, but he has signed his life away just like the rest of the media whores. Even the PEOPLE WHO PAY TO CRUISE ON BELOW DECK are gagged by Bravo.

These 2 are such crooks…

Unbelievable… and now they’ll play the victims… geesshhh
They are certainly stupid. Should have shoved some of that money into an off shore bank that the feds can’t get into
I agree! I have learned something from all this. If the banks are ever handing out loans Willy nilly again, use fake docs to acquire multimillion dollar loans and then send at least a million to an overseas relative to hold for you. Do it in small increments as to not arouse suspicion of the feds. It would help if the relative lived in a country with no extradition agreements with the U.S.. Then go ahead and live the high life! If you get caught for fraud, oh well, three years in Fed prison is not that bad. And after you get out you can leave the country and your creditors behind! I’m not sure there is much deterrent in the Fed judicial system.
The way I see it Joe gets to have a year off playing bachelor father without Teresa there to spoil his fun. He can drive with a fake drivers licences, meet for secret assignations with women not his wife, drunk drive borrowed cars all while pawning off the kids on anybody who wants to ‘help’ at this time of need. Sure at the end of it he has to report to the slammer but oh what a send up. I mean, he never seemed to want Teresa around all that much anyway so for him it kinda worked out.
I can just imagine what kind of behavior the girls will have after 15 months of Joe probably shuffling them around from house to house and letting them run amok. When Tre comes back home to a wayward Melania, she might miss the structure of the big house. I hope Joe doesn’t check out and depend on Gia to raise her sisters.
You know he will. Teresa will also tell her that as the eldest, it’s her responsibility!
I wish I didn’t feel so good about these two going to prison. I’m a terrible person but ain’t nobody got time for that.
I actually think it will be good for Tre in the long run. Juicy will just work out in the yard and become a bigger criminal in the long run.

LOL I said the same thing last night – I’m ashamed of myself for how excited I am that she is going to jail. It is just human nature though, when you work very hard for what you have and appreciate all your blessings in life, it’s awful to see someone cheat, lie, and steal to get ahead. Especially when they feel so entitled to whatever they can get out of “the system” (government funded by taxpayers) and they act like they’re better than everyone around them.

Since she would be in and out sooner than later, she would probably still have followers and could most likely get a reality show about rebuilding her life. I mean if you were to do it fast, the public would probably forget you did jail time and just focus on Joe. American short term memory thing. I believe that’s how politicians do it!
yep…
She can’t flip a table in prison, i think they are bolted down. 🙂
I don’t think the banks will recover much of the Est 13 million in debt. I don’t know what the real number is. None of the property comes close to covering it. Even if they sell all the property that they own, it will not cover it. The Bravo job is gone. When Teresa gets out of jail, she will just have to start over. She spent nearly 12 plus years trying to live the lifestyle and will be spending approximately 15 months in jail. Teresa will probably not be able to get a regular job that pays good because of her record and lack of education. Now that is reality TV!! The economy is not recovering and hard times will get worst before they get better.
I can see Bravo giving her her own show when she gets out. I really can. Her and the girls living with Joe, schlepping them to the pen to visit daddy on weekends. Tre trying to afford her ingredienceses. It will happen.

ingredienceses ! lol
Maybe a new prison cookbook? Lock up Lasanga? Spam u liciou?
I believe it! I think Teresa just shot to the top of Bravo’s favorite list. Bravo hit the jackpot. Bonuses for everyone. They can rent Teresa a fancy house and fancy furniture, and it will reach new heights of insanity.
I see the same thing happening, but I don’t see her still married to Joe in the show. It will be single Teresa and the girls.
Oh yeah. That would actually be a way better show, especially if they really keep it real. A starting over show. Plus I LOVE seeing the girls. If they gave Caroline her own show, this one is a no brainer.
Although Teresa is pretty incapable of being real. Maybe prison will change that for her? It changed Martha Stewart for about one minute. Would love to see Teresa put down that damn pride of hers and just be humble and genuine.
I believe you. She’ll be in a better position after prison. Not a better person. At least the money she makes she will spend differently and file taxes. She’ll still have fans waiting for the comeback kid. America loves heros/heroines, especially ex-con, turned-my-life-around heroes. What is RHONJ going to do without train wreck Teresa to gawk at in utter amazement? Nothing else was as interesting.
She seems to have a fan base that will buy her cookbooks, drink her Fabellini. Her notoriety will keep her on the D list. When celebrities get punished, they get forgiven after a while.
I was thinking about supporting Tre by trying her gelato bars. I kind like that.

In a way I kinda respect him a little more, (if that makes any sense), because he admitted to the judge what he has done, and that he has made a mess of things but she blubbers and says how she’s not a bad person and wants to blame everything on him…on and on…etc…etc. She’s a fake, creepy, crook.
Just like Caroline predicted. Just waiting for the book.
How insensitive if all of us! Not one of us has mentioned how poor Amber is making out in all of this!
Of
I heard she had The Cancer.
You people are hilarious! Thanks for the great comments and laughs…
Wow 383 comments! Geez I get dizzy scrolling through them. Tamara what are the most comments you have ever gotten in response to one story? Just curious.
And that’s not to much mention the ones that don’t make it through!
I used to get 500 plus on all the Jodi Arias ones. I wish they would let live feeds in the courtroom this time! I miss the traffic! lol.
I made you a clear post to comment in. http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2014/10/03/the-sentencing-of-joe-giudice-and-teresa-giudice/

“You goin’ to jail now”!!!
What a hideous family – and the sympathetic edit they are granted RHOJ is disgusting. Apparently, Bravo will take the opposite approach with Apollo on RHOA.
Bravo just showed the RHONJ Table Flipping episode where Teresa says I have no skeletons in my closet. What delicious irony.
I know! Danielle has to feel just a tinge of satisfaction at least.
Hi 1st timer here. After reading all the comments, I feel all the blame on Bravo is misplaced. Though they’re terrible, I don’t feel Tre & Joe committed their crimes because of Bravo. I believe they were already criminals before ever being on the show. The 1st episode showed the gaudy house they built and the $120,360,00 cash she spent on furniture. Therefore, they were thief’s way before we ever heard of them.
Add me to the posters who are stunned Tre gets to live free until Jan. That’s messed up and unfair to every other crook who gets handcuffed and taken away right after they’re sentenced. I wonder if it has anything to do with Joe still needing to be sentenced for his DMV crime??. Imo, they should both be in prison TODAY! That, or every crook should have a gaggle of kids before committing crimes.
I personally think the girls might make out better, having a chance at being raised by a decent guardian for 15 months. They need good role models for a change. I hate that those kids are going to only have Joe’s influence for 15 months. Sounds crazy, but I believe that’ll be worse than having just Tre. The only good thing I can say about her is she wouldn’t drive drunk with the girls. I worry he will, as he’ll be under crazy stress.
Anyhoo, thinks for this great site, and I’d love a guess on how much added time Joe might receive for the DMV fiasco.
I don’t think anyone is blaming Bravo. Their fraud began before the show.
Joe will not be doing any additional time at all for the DMV Read here for an explanation. http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2014/09/22/joe-giudice-back-in-jersey-court-today/
Lots of words are used to describe Tre especially dumb and stupid but gangster is the best I’ve heard yet. Lol If she were truly stupid she would not have had the business savvy to create a successful line of books,wine,etc. if they were truly stupid they would not be in this mess. They are clever people and there are a lot of “clever” but ordinary ppl I know that like them used the “system” and it’s flaws to amass millions in real estate. I only know and respect hard work but like recreational coke in the 80’s it became the thing to do for ppl who would not otherwise commit a “crime”. This is also why in Tre’s head she is not a criminal and doesn’t feel she should be punished. Without a doubt many of her fans live in homes gotten the same way which is what makes them uber sympathetic. When she comes out just like Martha Stewart she will make more money than ever because she is far from stupid.
