When looking at the picture I notice… that Gia gets her looks from her Mom but her height from her Dad. At 13 she probably won’t get taller. that Gia is posing rather than embracing her Mom. that Teresa has made an unfortunate choice with her pants. that they are not home because the room is too small. I assume they are at a relatives house with a similar taste in home decorations. I feel sorry for what Gia will have to go through in the near future.
Getting past what Teresa is wearing is a big ask.
BUT I will venture a guess that they are in the entry way leading into the living room of Joe’s sister or mother’s house. That table behind the sofa looks like something done to create separation between rooms. And the furniture is 100% Guidice style tacky, so that fits too.
So…a table…in space you can’t actually see because the picture taker’s back is to the space … Is too big for what your imagination thinks the size of the space is.
No all the furniture and the decor. I mentioned the table only to state why I thought this was an entry way into the living room (if you bothered to read the post that is the question TT posed — to explains what/where this place is). You are the one — for reasons I will not venture to guess — who is single-mindedly focused solely on the table. You don’t think the decor is tacky. That’s fine — I think it is . your offense on behalf of the table must have caused you to miss my writing “YMMV” — common internet slang for Your Millage May Very (or as my grandpa used to say “that’s why there is both chocolate and vanilla). You don’t have to agree with me but your immigration Spanish Inquisition would be more effective if you were actually talking about what I was talking about (hint: not merely one table and not any part of the space that can’t be seen).
THERE IS A SHIT TON OF FURNITURE IN THIS PICTURE! WHY ARE YOU OBSESSING OVER A FUCKING TABLE? The table is the only decent thing in the room. There are SILK FLOWERS HANGING ON THE WALL LIKE A MAUSOLEUM! There are things covered with black cloth. There are weird frames on the wall awkwardly grouped. It looks like every funeral home I have ever been in.
Do people actually hang silk flowers on a wall in a home? DO THEY?

Have to agree with Teecee. Can’t see any furniture and table looks perfectly fine. The ceilings seem low so maybe a basement; if not, an older home. Seems lived in.
I see one unfortunate flower arrangement, as TeeCee pointed out. There are two silk plant arrangements on a plant table. One is in a tall vase. Two “things” on the French doors leading out of the room. Bows? Perhaps it’s part of the Christmas decorations. A huge Christmas tree. And some coats hanging on the backs of tall chairs. Maybe the room looks cluttered because of the tree. It looks fine but someone doesn’t know how to arrange plants/flowers and the accents are outdated.
I see real plants on a plant stand on the left. I have no idea what anyone means by silk flowers. Or how you can tell in this tiny photo. Or why we are examining it so closely to find flaws. Her life is fucked already. Let the kid post a pic of her and her mom trying to be happy.
It’s sad & hilarious how THIS person can use “text talk” when posting here but when I did I was ORDERED to stop. Threatened actually. I was actually told I COULD NOT post acronyms commonly used in texting convos because “nobody could understand” wtf I was saying and then a few ass kissers hopped on the bandwagon to say they must be “too old” to understand so they couldn’t read what I wrote. Pathetic. …but it was a “rule” and all. So I followed the “rules”…yet here this very important rule is broken and nobody is getting a new asshole ripped.
Wtf is “YMMV” anyway?? I should go back to look up the ass kissers names & ask THEM what it means.
I was bitched at for using shit like “BTW” instead of BY THE WAY and “bc” instead of BECAUSE, which BY THE WAY, who the fuck doesn’t know what THOSE stand for OR at least have the mental capacity to figure it out????
I’m positive the response to this will be something along the lines of “it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to”…hypocrits usually resort to that. Not bothering to read it.
Looks like my Aunt & Uncle’s basement (before they moved to the home). It was where the second kitchen and his workshop were. Where allthe big parties were you could set up a super long table) and basically where they lived in the winter. In the summer, they lived on the porch. Huge, beautiful house. And they only used those two spaces, really. I’m noth Lear what you are thinking is wrong with the room? The floral arrangement might be less unfortunate in a different vessel. But you’d assume it was a gift, so, whatever.
An elderly aunt or grandmother’s house is what immediately came to mind for me. Teresa’s wardrobe choice is unfortunate and customary fake smile is unchanged.
I may be having a senior moment, but I can’t remember whether or not we know if filming is going on of these last days/weeks. Will there be anything to see on Monday? Do you have any spies in NJ, Tamara?
I guess she had to lay off the stylist. I would say that is a relative’s home or maybe one of Gia’s friend’s houses.
No matter how we feel about Teresa, Gia loves her and clearly thinks she’s the best Mom in the world. Gia has matured into a very strong and confident young lady. While its very sad that the kids have to go through this, I’m sure there are enough family and friends to step in while their mother is away and hopefully they will come through this fine.
Teresa probably won’t serve her whole sentence and may be home by next Christmas.
Teresa is serving 12.9 month and will not be out by Christmas. The only probably about it is that is she fucks up in there they could keep her the whole 15.

No we are not. The could have already moved somewhere. Like this dump. Am I the only one that sees a funeral spray leaning on the left wall? And what is under the black cloths in the back left corner?
In the back left corner, I see what looks like the backs of two chairs, angled to the right a bit to better watch TV. Along the left wall, I see what might be a wall sconce with a plant in it, above another plant on a table.
I see tall chair legs in the left rear corner – possibly bar stools. That looks like a flat screen TV on the back wall behind Tre’s head. Maybe it’s a rec room? There’s a Christmas tree in the right rear corner, a ceiling fan, and a black couch behind the table.
Someone earlier said it best: Gia is posing. That is not an embrace. Who is using whom? I would hate being in a family that is only striving for fame. Dog eat dog, faux affection, YUCK. The whole dynamic is sad, sickening and uncomfortable to watch.
I think that is Pete and Sheila’s house. But for some reason it has photographed smaller that it really is. There was a picture posted, not too very long ago, of Pete’s kids and Teresa’s kids all piled on each other on what appears to be the same rug as depicted here.
Too many tchotchkes for my taste and all I can do is ‘roll my eyes’ at Tre’s outfit. All of this Gia exposure is just preparing us for the spinoff which I won’t be watching.
All she needs now is a blond wig, bright pink lipstick and she could be NeNe’s twin. Who knows, maybe she started shopping at the thrift shop, and she came up with this get-up. As far as where this picture was taken, WOW, these people like this over the top gaudy gilded furniture. OMG
Sadly, that looks like a typical Giudice photo. And, it reminds me that the girls are not having the happy, secure childhood they deserve. Teresa is going to prison and they’re still posing and pretending for the public.
Whatever you think of Teresa, she will be a single mother for around 4 years and there is a strong possibility that Joe will be sent back to Italy. True has to make a living and she will be the sole provider for four girls. I am sure that at 13, Gia makes the decision as to what she posts on her Twitter account. Secondly, you can not embrace in a photo and show the faces of the two people that are posing. Teresa and Gia have their arms around each other’s back and are tilted towards the camera. Mountain out of a molehill. Someone took a picture of the two of them and they seem to be somewhat coordinated. Teresa’s laced leggings and the lace on the V of Gia’s tunic.
The more press she’s gets going in the more she will probably get going out. Even her oldest kid’s tweets are getting press. I wnot be surprised if the kids do get their own reality show while she’s in jail. Imagine if all the kids had their own Twitter account
Ok here is my explanation – I am sure it will offend someone – but I dont give a shite. The room looks very Italian immigrantish – the more is better gaudy school of decor – with lots of gold, velour, leather accents all cramped in a small space. My grandparents are Irish immigrants and the Irish tend to go the opposite with less is best decor – very stark and cold. I have been in more that one first/second generation Italian-American home growing up in NYC – and they usually had a cross between a funeral home and mausoleum type decor. Yes these are sweeping stereotypes but they are not far off the mark from MY experience. My Irish relatives and myself live up to all Irish sterotypes between the lot of us. No shame in it. Italians like glitz and gold and the Irish drink out of teacups with lipstick stains and yes most of us drink lots – not an inaccuate stereotype.
Off topic as usual: I prayed for Tre in church tonight. She popped into my mind during Communion! I feel sorry for anyone who has to leave their kids especially a Momma. I felt anxiety for her.s I’ll duck now from the arrows about to be slung. Feck off in advance.
How very kind of you to pray for Teresa. Let those without sin cast the first stone. I see a lot of stones being thrown at Teresa. She needs your prayers.
She has them – as does the rest of us. She is not Manson – she is a pampered girl who followed her husband’s lead in robbing the vaults of the banks to build an unsustainable marble mansion and buy pretty overpriced bows for her girls outfits. She likely didn’t understand the crimes entirely but didn’t care – she wanted stuff and to beat the Jonses (em Melissa). She deserves time for her greed but the pitchforks are quite sharp for Tre. Let her do the time and see if she learns from this. Maybe she’ll go legit and become the next Rachel Ray -we all be eating on Tre plates and cooking with Tre spatulas.
I’ll keep praying for Tre, her family and the rest of the world. Any Mom, no matter if it is by her own actions or not, who has to leave their kids when they need her has MY sympathy. We know Tre is did illegal stuff but the kids just know Mom, school, breakfast, gym shorts, homework, etc. I hate dropping mine at school – can’t imagine the jail drop off. Im going to hug my kids and get off this bloody computer. Peace.
I hoped you prayed for the Giudice children, especially the two youngest! If you prayed for Tre, I hope you prayed for Tre to have an epiphany regarding WHY is is being torn from her four daughters! I don’t think “she gets it” regardless of what the judge thinks. She is damn lucky she isn’t doing 41 months like Joe. You would think she would appreciate that it is ONLY one year out of her children’s lives instead whinning that she didn’t know she could end up in prison. If prison doesn’t slap her into reality, then there is no hope for the rest of the girls childhoods!
What I pray for is between me and God. I’ll throw you in the prayer mix today. Mercy is given to those who show mercy – no matter what the gobshite did. Love and light.
I firmly believe Teresa only told the judge “she gets it” because she was hoping for probation. Once it was clear she was going to serve time, any hope of her “getting it” went out the window.
If she did in fact get it → she wouldn’t have fired her attorney / stated “I didn’t know what a plea deal meant” / hired a new attorney to appeal her sentence / etc., etc.
Gia is starting to have a breakdown. 🙁 During the wee hours of Saturday morning she tweeted She tweeted “can’t sleep, to much stuff on my mind” with a nervous face and gun emojis.
A gun emoji? Yikes.
The tweet has since been deleted.

That kid has been under a lot of stress. I know this sounds strange but hopefully a little will be lifted soon! The fear of the unknown is sometimes worse then the actual “event”!
Our basement was finished like an apartment (seperate entrance, kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom) and our aunt lived there during college and about 2 years after she graduated. She used to put up her own tree. A lot of people finish their basements to accommodate close relatives.
Family members home, no brainer. Gia is posing, but then that is what teresa has taught her to do. Someday, not sure when, more than one of her daughters will be very angry (for a long time) at Joe and Teresa for what they put them through. I pray bravo does the right thing and does not put any Guidice’s on television ever again.
It’s too late for Gia. She’s already trying to get her own show. She has no contract with Bravo and can shop it around as she is about he new singing group. Bravo will likely snap it up. But she is free to go to the best offer.

God say it isn’t true! No one cares about her girl group. They (TV producers) will just want to exploit her family’s “unfortunate situation”. If they were really talented, one would think Nickelodeon or Disney would of latched onto them. I just feel like someone is or will be taking advantage Gia. She needs to be concentrating on getting a scholarship to a good University. I guess the “garage band” as come along way from my high school days!
One more thing, the leggings are horrible!!!! Isn’t she over 40? What about staying home, wearing your yoga outfit, making popcorn and watching your children’s favorite movie, all curled under a big fluffy blanket? All family members invited. Instead, the get dressed up, put skanky leggings in, lipstick, pose and post the picture online! Kardashien’s wannabe!
I get where your coming if you do not hail from the NE. Not all cultures and environments are the same obviously. In NYC and NJ cities people tend to dress more urban than say the midwest. My aunt is 79 and could pass for 50 – no beer exaggeration as I am in my cups tonight – and she could rock leggings. My husband is of another race and from The Deep South. I am a student in how folks do things in our respective cultures differently. For me her leggings are just NY and NJ dress.
I don’t have a yoga outfit, and I hate popcorn. I’m over 40, and my children are grown. Don’t have any fluffy blankets either, just comforters. (being silly) BUT!!! You got me with the Kardashian wannabe comment, lol.
That’s right..she’s over 40 so she should just crawl off into the woods and die. I have no love for this woman or her family but I cannot understand the ageism thrown on women by women!
At first I thought it was someone’s ratskeller but I changed my mind. Based on chair rails I would say it is a formal diningroom of an older home being used as a den. There is a sofa in front of the table with what appears to be a fireplace off to the left. In the front by the french doors are two barstools with possibly coats draped over them. The flower sconces on the front wall were a popular design in the 50’s-60’s and usually a mirror went between them.
That is a metal flower pot stand for indoor plants along the left wall. The ferns appear fake as do most of the plants. I do not think this is a room in a mortuary but rather a garish room in some relative’s home.
Teresa’s choice of clothing is in the same vein as the decor. The photo lacks warmth between Gia and Teresa. Gia is posing like a cheerleader and Teresa has her tilt-head, fake smile pose. I am not particularly worried about the girls in either parent’s absence.
People seems to forget that a parent in the military is separated from their children for tours of duty and come back a year later and all is well. The parent at home just has to put it in fifth gear and bite the bullet. Joe and Teresa are blessed with and extended family.
I would say that normally the humiliation of the separation would be difficult for the girls but they will find a way to work this college stint as a moneymaking adventure…with the money in the girls names so none of it goes towards restitution.
As an army brat this can’t be further from the truth. After my father would go overseas for a year or so at a time, when he returned me and my brother did not recognise and were afraid of him. It isn’t always as simple as you surmise.
Think how screwed up Audriana’s perception of parents are going to be. She’s 4 or 5? Used to 2 parents, then one day Mom is gone for a year. Mom is back then Dad is gone for 3.5? SAD!
My father was military and served 4 tours of duty overseas, the last being a year in Viet Nam and many extended TDY’s. There were 6 children in the family and my mother cruised through his absence each time. We talked of my father, had photos, wrote letters and received communications from him. His absence was not a meaning for him to be forgotten. Homecomings were special. Life changed somewhat but very little as my mother ruled the roost regardless of him being there or not.
I know of what I speak. All of us grew up without incidents with the law, excellent grades (10 schools in 12 years), well behaved and continued to be successfully employeed, educated and raised loving families.
Don’t get me started on why the vets come home screwed up but certainly their life will not improve if they face dysfunction in their home, the one place they should find comfort, love and safety.
And Captain Eel, go fuck yourself. Four of my brothers served in the military with three of them in Viet Nam. I saw some photos taken of the horrors they experienced 1st hand, especially the brother who flew a helicopter. Not every soldier returns messed up, unable to cope.
Do you think Joe and the girls will stay in the big house? My house is for sale and it is a lot of work to keep it clean and tidy for showings. I don’t understand how they can still be living there and driving the expensive leased cars . Why do you think their lives have not changed much?
Beth – I think they are at the mercy of whomever tells them what they are doing ie court, creditors, etc. TT reported (I think) the house was upside down so not taken by the bank as an asset to pay debts. I am not a financial person so I dont know anything about this stuff. Dont know how they are still functioning with the appearance of the same lifestyle. It may change drastically once Tre goes away Mon and no more Bravo checks clear in the bank account.
The bank will take the house. Because of the bankruptcy filing all of the creditors were on hold with regard to seizing assets until just a few months ago when all the paperwork was finished that resulted in the Giudice’s being unable to declare bankruptcy and allowing all of their creditors to come after them for the millions and millions they owe. It takes time for banks and governments to work.

I don’t understand that myself. The only thing I can come up with is money they hid or family members are holding for them. The dirt on the bottom of my shoes are cleaner then this whole family. What I’d like to know is if there isn’t money hidden somewhere to pay their household bills how will BARNEY Rubble maintain the household financially. He couldn’t rub two nickels together, but I betcha he’d come up with money to buy his wine. This whole house/car Mercedes is a totally mind boggling to me.
Not feeling Teresa’s pants. Not at all. Gia has such a cute figure, and I think she sings pretty good too, if its not all autotune, how can you tell anymore?
The house…or decor, seems kinda mismatched to me. The rug looks old and frayed, or maybe it is suppose to look that way. I just know its ugly. The table looks worn and old. I see a couch, and maybe a table & chairs in the distance. The flower arrangement on the table…oh my, hideous! I see a home that is comfortable to its owner, who is not really concerned about its appearance. But, its clean, I’ll give them that!
Honestly, God love her for putting a pic out for her fans–In my opinion thats all she is doing, and I have to give her props for doing so before she goes to prison. Can’t imagine, and prayers for her kids.
Im with you – no biggie just a fan pic – as unpopular as that is. As I was hugging my kids at church tonight Tre came to mind. She needs to go to jail for her crimes not doubt but I cringe at how she feels leaving her kids. The thought made me feel very anxious for her. Worst feeling ever – being without your kids no matter the circumstances.
Oh Please!! I do feel sorry for these kids but as far as this Felon, did she think about those kids when she pulled out the FAKE W2 from the copy machine, signed it then sent it in. Then Lied,Lied, and again Lied to obtain millions from you, me, creditors, banks, partners. Her pay back is just beginning, because when you involve yourself with the Feds, they are a part of you and involved in your life FOREVER.
My take as I venture into the dark recess of Tres mind – past the hairline and fake hair – is that she thought she was providing a better life for her girls by giving them anything and everything with no thought of getting caught. Delusional is one hell of a drug. Just rewatched season 1 and 2 of NJ. Her behavior and demeanor is cringeworthy. You know how you get drunk and do something cringworthy and you hide for several days – she must feel like that every day forever watching those season. But then she drinks a cup of delusional for her hangover and its all good. I think she was blindsided but Joe new it was coming. He alludes to it many times in past seasons.
We are talking Tre here. I think she thought its still old school rules and that the wives don’t do the time, just the men. Feds don’t play that anymore. Her name/sig was on properties, tax returns, loans and fake W2s so she goes down as well. I think she was gobsmacked when she walked out of sentencing and has never recovered. That’s what I took Dina and Big Ang alluded to with tweets and comments about how wrong her sentence was, how she wasn’t taking care off.
My bet is Joe’s mother’s basement family room with a thoughtful Christmas bouquet marking the first Christmas without Joe’s father. We’re just not used to seeing Guidice family members who try to live within their means.
Yes yes please TT ….tomorrow is the day ! Do you have your insider ears and eyes ready! I think we should have a discussion on what will transpire tomorrow. Banjo and your TT blog friends wanna know! ( dog tail wags) 🙂
Please let there be someone truly protecting and parenting these poor girls. They are innocent. I don’t care what happens to their parents except In how it will impact the children forever. Gia is a baby still. I feel sad for them, only them.
Mindy Mc Fans????? Not a fan, who in their right mind would put fans over their children. That is the attitude that got her into this predicament. I think you are the only fan I know.
Tre appears to have fans – how we gauge that is the question. Is it product buyers, postitive social media responses or numbers at her appearances? Not sure but If it is based on social media she has detractors but many sympathizers too. It may not be agreeable to you but she has fans.
At the risk of being banned from this site forever and/or forfeiture of TT tokens in perpetuity, I couldn’t care less about the house, flowers, outfits, makeup, etc. What in the world is this woman thinking? She is going to federal prison for a year. A year. What’s next? Failure to show because she didn’t understand the sentencing?
I guess the ninny comment is directed toward me *tootsie sighs*. It’s probably true. I’d rather snark about the idiocy that is Teresa and Joe and leave the kid out of it.
I too pray for this family. I pray for lessons to be learned. I pray they learn humility,and appreciation for the finer things in life. Like god and your family and friends. And lastly I pray for a new stylist cause I think they have each other’s clothes on by mistake.
Probably at a holiday party of one of the relatives. Tre’s outfit is her same style no surprises there but she doesn’t look like a woman on the way to the hooskow. I guess you have to keep up appearances. I would be balling constantly and my eyes would be so puffy you wouldn’t be able to see them.
What happens when you actually go to jail? What is the intake process? I can not imagine going somewhere and not actually packing a suitcase or overnight bag.
whaa? you go in w clothes on & everything gets locked away & you wear what they give you. were you joking or brain damaged when you wrote about luggage?
as far as i’m concerned, fuck tre. i feel for the kids but wonder whether they know to be ashamed of having felons as parents. that tre still has simpering fans after all this astonishes me. doubt they’ll learn a thing. all this just happened to them for no apparent reason. smdh.
that looks like a family room w no taste. gold walls and blonde & dark mismatched furniture. gia & tre look fine together. dont know where that person got the idea they didnt look close in the shot.
Oops I have no idea what the room is but somebody must like it. I can’t see enough of it to determine taste but if they like it GREAT. They look pretty good in the picture also so what’s the deal? Hopefully things go well for the family in the short and long term. I cannot find it in my heart to say anything other than well wishes. Mistakes happen, deal with it an keep moving. Life is not long enough to dwell too long on anything. REALLY
Oh boy, Tre must be letting Joe pick out her clothes before the big surrender. As for the location umm no clue, looks cozy.
Maybe they are at a restaurant.
When looking at the picture I notice… that Gia gets her looks from her Mom but her height from her Dad. At 13 she probably won’t get taller. that Gia is posing rather than embracing her Mom. that Teresa has made an unfortunate choice with her pants. that they are not home because the room is too small. I assume they are at a relatives house with a similar taste in home decorations. I feel sorry for what Gia will have to go through in the near future.
I grew 3 inches in high school. You don’t necessarily stop growing at 13 lol
Yeah – I didn’t get this either. Gia’s only 13 – plently of time to grow and also Tre has on a higher heel than Gia’s 1/2 inch boot heel.
I don’t think Teresa’s all that tall – she always wears heels.
Getting past what Teresa is wearing is a big ask.
BUT I will venture a guess that they are in the entry way leading into the living room of Joe’s sister or mother’s house. That table behind the sofa looks like something done to create separation between rooms. And the furniture is 100% Guidice style tacky, so that fits too.
The furniture is tacky? How so? You can’t even see anything but the table. And how is the table “tacky”??
It’s too much/too big for the space. I consider that tacky but YMMV
I’m on moderation so I’ll try again — the furniture looks too big/too much for the size and purpose of the room. I consider that tacky — YMMV
So…a table…in space you can’t actually see because the picture taker’s back is to the space … Is too big for what your imagination thinks the size of the space is.

You don’t have to agree with me but your immigration Spanish Inquisition would be more effective if you were actually talking about what I was talking about (hint: not merely one table and not any part of the space that can’t be seen).

Well said. 😀
Could it be Gramma’s house?
Gia needs to find a better best friend. Teresa isn’t much of a role model.
I agree the room appears to be too small to be one in the mcmansion, but, are we sure they are still living there?
No we are not. The could have already moved somewhere. Like this dump. Am I the only one that sees a funeral spray leaning on the left wall? And what is under the black cloths in the back left corner?
In the back left corner, I see what looks like the backs of two chairs, angled to the right a bit to better watch TV. Along the left wall, I see what might be a wall sconce with a plant in it, above another plant on a table.
I see tall chair legs in the left rear corner – possibly bar stools. That looks like a flat screen TV on the back wall behind Tre’s head. Maybe it’s a rec room? There’s a Christmas tree in the right rear corner, a ceiling fan, and a black couch behind the table.
Gia looks lovely. I’m guessing they are at a home of Joe’s family.
Is she trans*?
Nope. Amazingly she was in fact born female.

Does Teresa not own a mirror?
Not fair TT. You’re asking us to overlook & pretend too much — just to focus on a room.☺
Someone earlier said it best: Gia is posing. That is not an embrace. Who is using whom? I would hate being in a family that is only striving for fame. Dog eat dog, faux affection, YUCK. The whole dynamic is sad, sickening and uncomfortable to watch.
I think that is Pete and Sheila’s house. But for some reason it has photographed smaller that it really is. There was a picture posted, not too very long ago, of Pete’s kids and Teresa’s kids all piled on each other on what appears to be the same rug as depicted here.
Definitely a family member’s home. Probably taken on Christmas or New Years. You can see all the family pics on the wall.
Poor Tre…she needs to burn those pants. Probably not thinking rationally at this point…
Could be someone’s family room. Do you think a funeral home would have a big screen T.V.? Is Tre shopping NeNe’s collection on QVC ?
Too many tchotchkes for my taste and all I can do is ‘roll my eyes’ at Tre’s outfit. All of this Gia exposure is just preparing us for the spinoff which I won’t be watching.
I like her outfit.
Looks like she is wearing Nene Leakes leggings.
If it was a week from now I’d say the prison visitors lounge…
……with all that self tanner starting to wear off, and weave removed.
People, They are just making memories!
Before prison/during prison/after prison…….
How can you NOT focus on what Tre is wearing? Yikes
All she needs now is a blond wig, bright pink lipstick and she could be NeNe’s twin. Who knows, maybe she started shopping at the thrift shop, and she came up with this get-up. As far as where this picture was taken, WOW, these people like this over the top gaudy gilded furniture. OMG
Sadly, that looks like a typical Giudice photo. And, it reminds me that the girls are not having the happy, secure childhood they deserve. Teresa is going to prison and they’re still posing and pretending for the public.
Whatever you think of Teresa, she will be a single mother for around 4 years and there is a strong possibility that Joe will be sent back to Italy. True has to make a living and she will be the sole provider for four girls. I am sure that at 13, Gia makes the decision as to what she posts on her Twitter account. Secondly, you can not embrace in a photo and show the faces of the two people that are posing. Teresa and Gia have their arms around each other’s back and are tilted towards the camera. Mountain out of a molehill. Someone took a picture of the two of them and they seem to be somewhat coordinated. Teresa’s laced leggings and the lace on the V of Gia’s tunic.
The more press she’s gets going in the more she will probably get going out. Even her oldest kid’s tweets are getting press. I wnot be surprised if the kids do get their own reality show while she’s in jail. Imagine if all the kids had their own Twitter account
Ok here is my explanation – I am sure it will offend someone – but I dont give a shite. The room looks very Italian immigrantish – the more is better gaudy school of decor – with lots of gold, velour, leather accents all cramped in a small space. My grandparents are Irish immigrants and the Irish tend to go the opposite with less is best decor – very stark and cold. I have been in more that one first/second generation Italian-American home growing up in NYC – and they usually had a cross between a funeral home and mausoleum type decor. Yes these are sweeping stereotypes but they are not far off the mark from MY experience. My Irish relatives and myself live up to all Irish sterotypes between the lot of us. No shame in it. Italians like glitz and gold and the Irish drink out of teacups with lipstick stains and yes most of us drink lots – not an inaccuate stereotype.
Off topic as usual: I prayed for Tre in church tonight. She popped into my mind during Communion! I feel sorry for anyone who has to leave their kids especially a Momma. I felt anxiety for her.s I’ll duck now from the arrows about to be slung. Feck off in advance.
How very kind of you to pray for Teresa. Let those without sin cast the first stone. I see a lot of stones being thrown at Teresa. She needs your prayers.
She has them – as does the rest of us. She is not Manson – she is a pampered girl who followed her husband’s lead in robbing the vaults of the banks to build an unsustainable marble mansion and buy pretty overpriced bows for her girls outfits. She likely didn’t understand the crimes entirely but didn’t care – she wanted stuff and to beat the Jonses (em Melissa). She deserves time for her greed but the pitchforks are quite sharp for Tre. Let her do the time and see if she learns from this. Maybe she’ll go legit and become the next Rachel Ray -we all be eating on Tre plates and cooking with Tre spatulas.
Ms Irish —- you are very sweet and so is your post.
I think it is nice that you said a prayer for Tre and her family.
I’ll keep praying for Tre, her family and the rest of the world. Any Mom, no matter if it is by her own actions or not, who has to leave their kids when they need her has MY sympathy. We know Tre is did illegal stuff but the kids just know Mom, school, breakfast, gym shorts, homework, etc. I hate dropping mine at school – can’t imagine the jail drop off. Im going to hug my kids and get off this bloody computer. Peace.
I hoped you prayed for the Giudice children, especially the two youngest! If you prayed for Tre, I hope you prayed for Tre to have an epiphany regarding WHY is is being torn from her four daughters! I don’t think “she gets it” regardless of what the judge thinks. She is damn lucky she isn’t doing 41 months like Joe. You would think she would appreciate that it is ONLY one year out of her children’s lives instead whinning that she didn’t know she could end up in prison. If prison doesn’t slap her into reality, then there is no hope for the rest of the girls childhoods!
What I pray for is between me and God. I’ll throw you in the prayer mix today. Mercy is given to those who show mercy – no matter what the gobshite did. Love and light.
Oh please don’t pray for me. I’m serious prey for the Guidice children. They are about to go through a nightmare!
Oops sorry I think they very well be preyed upon, so please pray for them!
I firmly believe Teresa only told the judge “she gets it” because she was hoping for probation. Once it was clear she was going to serve time, any hope of her “getting it” went out the window.
If she did in fact get it → she wouldn’t have fired her attorney / stated “I didn’t know what a plea deal meant” / hired a new attorney to appeal her sentence / etc., etc.
Gia is starting to have a breakdown. 🙁 During the wee hours of Saturday morning she tweeted She tweeted “can’t sleep, to much stuff on my mind” with a nervous face and gun emojis.
A gun emoji? Yikes.
The tweet has since been deleted.

That kid has been under a lot of stress. I know this sounds strange but hopefully a little will be lifted soon! The fear of the unknown is sometimes worse then the actual “event”!
Hypocritical insipid twat.
Poor Gia. It’s a shame what her parents have done to her and exposed her to.
It looks like a finished basement to me.
Agreed. My first thought too. Basement TV room.
Why would they have a Christmas tree in the basement?
Limited space upstairs?
Lots of people have a couple of trees!
Our basement was finished like an apartment (seperate entrance, kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom) and our aunt lived there during college and about 2 years after she graduated. She used to put up her own tree. A lot of people finish their basements to accommodate close relatives.
Family members home, no brainer. Gia is posing, but then that is what teresa has taught her to do. Someday, not sure when, more than one of her daughters will be very angry (for a long time) at Joe and Teresa for what they put them through. I pray bravo does the right thing and does not put any Guidice’s on television ever again.
It’s too late for Gia. She’s already trying to get her own show. She has no contract with Bravo and can shop it around as she is about he new singing group. Bravo will likely snap it up. But she is free to go to the best offer.

God say it isn’t true! No one cares about her girl group. They (TV producers) will just want to exploit her family’s “unfortunate situation”. If they were really talented, one would think Nickelodeon or Disney would of latched onto them. I just feel like someone is or will be taking advantage Gia. She needs to be concentrating on getting a scholarship to a good University. I guess the “garage band” as come along way from my high school days!
One more thing, the leggings are horrible!!!! Isn’t she over 40? What about staying home, wearing your yoga outfit, making popcorn and watching your children’s favorite movie, all curled under a big fluffy blanket? All family members invited. Instead, the get dressed up, put skanky leggings in, lipstick, pose and post the picture online! Kardashien’s wannabe!
I get where your coming if you do not hail from the NE. Not all cultures and environments are the same obviously. In NYC and NJ cities people tend to dress more urban than say the midwest. My aunt is 79 and could pass for 50 – no beer exaggeration as I am in my cups tonight – and she could rock leggings. My husband is of another race and from The Deep South. I am a student in how folks do things in our respective cultures differently. For me her leggings are just NY and NJ dress.
I don’t have a yoga outfit, and I hate popcorn. I’m over 40, and my children are grown. Don’t have any fluffy blankets either, just comforters. (being silly) BUT!!! You got me with the Kardashian wannabe comment, lol.
That’s right..she’s over 40 so she should just crawl off into the woods and die. I have no love for this woman or her family but I cannot understand the ageism thrown on women by women!
At first I thought it was someone’s ratskeller but I changed my mind. Based on chair rails I would say it is a formal diningroom of an older home being used as a den. There is a sofa in front of the table with what appears to be a fireplace off to the left. In the front by the french doors are two barstools with possibly coats draped over them. The flower sconces on the front wall were a popular design in the 50’s-60’s and usually a mirror went between them.
That is a metal flower pot stand for indoor plants along the left wall. The ferns appear fake as do most of the plants. I do not think this is a room in a mortuary but rather a garish room in some relative’s home.
Teresa’s choice of clothing is in the same vein as the decor. The photo lacks warmth between Gia and Teresa. Gia is posing like a cheerleader and Teresa has her tilt-head, fake smile pose. I am not particularly worried about the girls in either parent’s absence.
People seems to forget that a parent in the military is separated from their children for tours of duty and come back a year later and all is well. The parent at home just has to put it in fifth gear and bite the bullet. Joe and Teresa are blessed with and extended family.
I would say that normally the humiliation of the separation would be difficult for the girls but they will find a way to work this college stint as a moneymaking adventure…with the money in the girls names so none of it goes towards restitution.
Yes, we forgot how swell things are after vets return. You fucking pinhead.
Thank you for reading my mind! I think someone’s seen too many feel good commercials.
As an army brat this can’t be further from the truth. After my father would go overseas for a year or so at a time, when he returned me and my brother did not recognise and were afraid of him. It isn’t always as simple as you surmise.
We had parallel lives. Mine was Navy – gone for three years home for 3 weeks. Living hell. Haven’t seen him in 30 years.
Michael. At least your father was not considered a disgrace by society. Imagine adding that to the equation!
Think how screwed up Audriana’s perception of parents are going to be. She’s 4 or 5? Used to 2 parents, then one day Mom is gone for a year. Mom is back then Dad is gone for 3.5? SAD!
My father was military and served 4 tours of duty overseas, the last being a year in Viet Nam and many extended TDY’s. There were 6 children in the family and my mother cruised through his absence each time. We talked of my father, had photos, wrote letters and received communications from him. His absence was not a meaning for him to be forgotten. Homecomings were special. Life changed somewhat but very little as my mother ruled the roost regardless of him being there or not.
I know of what I speak. All of us grew up without incidents with the law, excellent grades (10 schools in 12 years), well behaved and continued to be successfully employeed, educated and raised loving families.
Don’t get me started on why the vets come home screwed up but certainly their life will not improve if they face dysfunction in their home, the one place they should find comfort, love and safety.
And Captain Eel, go fuck yourself. Four of my brothers served in the military with three of them in Viet Nam. I saw some photos taken of the horrors they experienced 1st hand, especially the brother who flew a helicopter. Not every soldier returns messed up, unable to cope.
There is respect, honor and community when a military parent is away. Couldn’t be more different.
Unless they were in Vietnam.

Do you think Joe and the girls will stay in the big house? My house is for sale and it is a lot of work to keep it clean and tidy for showings. I don’t understand how they can still be living there and driving the expensive leased cars . Why do you think their lives have not changed much?
Beth – I think they are at the mercy of whomever tells them what they are doing ie court, creditors, etc. TT reported (I think) the house was upside down so not taken by the bank as an asset to pay debts. I am not a financial person so I dont know anything about this stuff. Dont know how they are still functioning with the appearance of the same lifestyle. It may change drastically once Tre goes away Mon and no more Bravo checks clear in the bank account.
The bank will take the house. Because of the bankruptcy filing all of the creditors were on hold with regard to seizing assets until just a few months ago when all the paperwork was finished that resulted in the Giudice’s being unable to declare bankruptcy and allowing all of their creditors to come after them for the millions and millions they owe. It takes time for banks and governments to work.

I don’t understand that myself. The only thing I can come up with is money they hid or family members are holding for them. The dirt on the bottom of my shoes are cleaner then this whole family. What I’d like to know is if there isn’t money hidden somewhere to pay their household bills how will BARNEY Rubble maintain the household financially. He couldn’t rub two nickels together, but I betcha he’d come up with money to buy his wine. This whole house/car Mercedes is a totally mind boggling to me.
Not feeling Teresa’s pants. Not at all. Gia has such a cute figure, and I think she sings pretty good too, if its not all autotune, how can you tell anymore?
The house…or decor, seems kinda mismatched to me. The rug looks old and frayed, or maybe it is suppose to look that way. I just know its ugly. The table looks worn and old. I see a couch, and maybe a table & chairs in the distance. The flower arrangement on the table…oh my, hideous! I see a home that is comfortable to its owner, who is not really concerned about its appearance. But, its clean, I’ll give them that!
how can we NOT look at what tre is wearing? supposedly the photo was taken at joes sisters home.
Honestly, God love her for putting a pic out for her fans–In my opinion thats all she is doing, and I have to give her props for doing so before she goes to prison. Can’t imagine, and prayers for her kids.
Im with you – no biggie just a fan pic – as unpopular as that is. As I was hugging my kids at church tonight Tre came to mind. She needs to go to jail for her crimes not doubt but I cringe at how she feels leaving her kids. The thought made me feel very anxious for her. Worst feeling ever – being without your kids no matter the circumstances.
Upscale hunting lodge?
Oh Please!! I do feel sorry for these kids but as far as this Felon, did she think about those kids when she pulled out the FAKE W2 from the copy machine, signed it then sent it in. Then Lied,Lied, and again Lied to obtain millions from you, me, creditors, banks, partners. Her pay back is just beginning, because when you involve yourself with the Feds, they are a part of you and involved in your life FOREVER.
My take as I venture into the dark recess of Tres mind – past the hairline and fake hair – is that she thought she was providing a better life for her girls by giving them anything and everything with no thought of getting caught. Delusional is one hell of a drug. Just rewatched season 1 and 2 of NJ. Her behavior and demeanor is cringeworthy. You know how you get drunk and do something cringworthy and you hide for several days – she must feel like that every day forever watching those season. But then she drinks a cup of delusional for her hangover and its all good. I think she was blindsided but Joe new it was coming. He alludes to it many times in past seasons.
I do not believe that Teresa was blindsided. No one can possibly be that unaware.
We are talking Tre here. I think she thought its still old school rules and that the wives don’t do the time, just the men. Feds don’t play that anymore. Her name/sig was on properties, tax returns, loans and fake W2s so she goes down as well. I think she was gobsmacked when she walked out of sentencing and has never recovered. That’s what I took Dina and Big Ang alluded to with tweets and comments about how wrong her sentence was, how she wasn’t taking care off.
maybe they were photographed in front of a photograph of a room … 😀
Now that was kind of funny. 🙂
My bet is Joe’s mother’s basement family room with a thoughtful Christmas bouquet marking the first Christmas without Joe’s father. We’re just not used to seeing Guidice family members who try to live within their means.
Well Tamara might have something to say about that lol!
Oh oh oh! Hand up in the air!
Ooh! I love I Spy! I do believe i see a cockroach…
Yes yes please TT ….tomorrow is the day ! Do you have your insider ears and eyes ready! I think we should have a discussion on what will transpire tomorrow. Banjo and your TT blog friends wanna know! ( dog tail wags) 🙂
Yes TeeCee, “trying to be happy , in denial.” Lol
There is someone sitting in the black chair in the left corner watching tv.
Please let there be someone truly protecting and parenting these poor girls. They are innocent. I don’t care what happens to their parents except In how it will impact the children forever. Gia is a baby still. I feel sad for them, only them.
Mindy Mc Fans????? Not a fan, who in their right mind would put fans over their children. That is the attitude that got her into this predicament. I think you are the only fan I know.
Tre appears to have fans – how we gauge that is the question. Is it product buyers, postitive social media responses or numbers at her appearances? Not sure but If it is based on social media she has detractors but many sympathizers too. It may not be agreeable to you but she has fans.
I didn’t say I was a fan. I was just commenting why I thought she posted the pic.
At the risk of being banned from this site forever and/or forfeiture of TT tokens in perpetuity, I couldn’t care less about the house, flowers, outfits, makeup, etc. What in the world is this woman thinking? She is going to federal prison for a year. A year. What’s next? Failure to show because she didn’t understand the sentencing?
Ugh. You’re all such ninnies.
I guess the ninny comment is directed toward me *tootsie sighs*. It’s probably true. I’d rather snark about the idiocy that is Teresa and Joe and leave the kid out of it.
I too pray for this family. I pray for lessons to be learned. I pray they learn humility,and appreciation for the finer things in life. Like god and your family and friends. And lastly I pray for a new stylist cause I think they have each other’s clothes on by mistake.
Probably at a holiday party of one of the relatives. Tre’s outfit is her same style no surprises there but she doesn’t look like a woman on the way to the hooskow. I guess you have to keep up appearances. I would be balling constantly and my eyes would be so puffy you wouldn’t be able to see them.
What happens when you actually go to jail? What is the intake process? I can not imagine going somewhere and not actually packing a suitcase or overnight bag.
Shall we call Apollo and find out…Oops his in prison….maybe one of the Mob Wives knows! Just kidding.
whaa? you go in w clothes on & everything gets locked away & you wear what they give you. were you joking or brain damaged when you wrote about luggage?
as far as i’m concerned, fuck tre. i feel for the kids but wonder whether they know to be ashamed of having felons as parents. that tre still has simpering fans after all this astonishes me. doubt they’ll learn a thing. all this just happened to them for no apparent reason. smdh.
that looks like a family room w no taste. gold walls and blonde & dark mismatched furniture. gia & tre look fine together. dont know where that person got the idea they didnt look close in the shot.
Ugh. And you’re a ninny SHEPHERD
May it’s a I’m going to prison IDGAF, outfit.
I love Tre’s leggings I don’t understand the big deal.
Oops I have no idea what the room is but somebody must like it. I can’t see enough of it to determine taste but if they like it GREAT. They look pretty good in the picture also so what’s the deal? Hopefully things go well for the family in the short and long term. I cannot find it in my heart to say anything other than well wishes. Mistakes happen, deal with it an keep moving. Life is not long enough to dwell too long on anything. REALLY
