Following in the footsteps of Martha Stewart, Teresa Giudice opted for a pre-dawn 3 a.m. self-surrender at Federal Correctional Institution Danbury this morning to avoid paparazzi . I’m a bit shocked she actually was assigned to Danbury as that prison is transitioning to a male prison and the warden went to great lengths to avoid having to take Martha Stewart ten years ago when she did her time.
According to Vicki Hyman of NJ.com , “left her Montville Township mansion shortly after midnight in the back seat of a black SUV driven by her lawyer, James J. Leonard Jr. She surrendered just before 3 a.m., seven hours ahead of her scheduled intake, at the minimum-security prison camp that once housed Lauryn Hill and Leona Helmsley, who both served time for tax evasion. ‘She was ready,’ Leonard said in a statement to NJ Advance Media. “Teresa is a very strong woman, she won’t have any problems in there.’ The early surrender was negotiated with prison officials during a series of phone calls on New Year’s Eve. ‘When we arrived at Danbury, everyone we encountered was extremely courteous and respectful,’ he said. “Joe took the girls to school in Ford truck this morning. They were greeted at the gate by a ton of paparazzi camped out at the end of the driveway. So it seems Joe is off to a good start. For now, everyone is still living in the Montville home and all the girls were dressed and off to school on day one.
Meanwhile Teresa has had her first jail breakfast and is probably about to line up for lunch where it seems she will be trying to avoid carbs. The rest of her day will be full of intake procedures where she will be assigned her first prison job. It will most likely be in the kitchen.
Perhaps she will learn to make a poncho! #Fashion.
In case you missed it, you can read all the sordid details of her federal crimes here.
wonder when the guards will start the leaks about what she is up to in there
I will remember you. Will you remember me. Don’t let your love pass…
And so it begins…a year confined for someone like Teresa will be a life changing experience. No more glam squads, no more assistants, no more cameras, and the reality will set in. I think in some ways, Teresa needs to be humbled, and maybe she will become a better person after she has time to reflect. Maybe she will start a journal of her experiences in Prison.
I personally don’t think that Prison will crush her. I believe she is a strong woman, and will persevere in whatever situation arises. I wonder if she will be kept insolation, or allowed with the general population? She will adapt and do her time. Not being there for her children will be her hardest obstacle. That in itself, for any mother, will be difficult.
LOL at kept in isolation.

Gemini, I agree,
Of course she is keeping a journal! We all know she will “write” a book. That what NY times best selling “authors” do!
Do you suppose the Ghost Writer is on the approved visitor list?
I’m wondering how much she was paid for the photos leaving her home this morning!
Her “journal” will be a slow process as she’ll have to wait until visitation days when her 4 beautiful daw-ters come by & write the words to go along with the pictures she colors during the week.
hahahahah, so funny!
@Angel nothing since she is not really in them.
Angel, that was what I thought right away. Book deal!!!
Gemini, you’re damn good at stating the incredibly obvious.
wait what? Joe who’s not allowed to legally drive right now drove the girls to school? Did I read that corectly?
He has a license now.
Oh too bad. That would have been really funny if he broke the law so openly again.
How did he get a license? I thought that drivers license fraud case was still outstanding.
He got his license back when his initial suspension was up. The criminal charges were essentially nothing. He has a plea deal where he will “serve his time” for the drivers license thing concurrent with his federal time. Which I never thought possible since they are two different jurisdictions. But that is what I am told happened.

He could lose it again in March. However, his attorney is very good and could manage to get the suspension pushed to be in effect while he is in prison so that the kids have a parent who can drive.
I predict all the will get is a $1000 fine. And a WHOPPING bill from his hard working attorney.

Apt pic and caption, TT. She is sporting some Funicello hair, there. For the sake of her family, let’s hope that Tre turns this into a positive sidebar with enduring lessons.
FINALLY ! I think she is thinking “if I just obligize, then maybe I won’t be in here the entire 15 months.” That’s why she showed up so early. But it is funny how she was doing it, I thinkb to avoid media. Still in denial. Wonder how she’s adapting to Used” stuff ? All I gavevto say is , hope she enjoyed the time she had prior. Now “Do your Time!” But I do have a few others question/comments . How is Joe, with his license problems.and money, going to be able to drive/take the girls to visit her? How is he going to be able to pay the Mortgage, power bill, water, food, car insurance and all the necessities the girls need through out the next year minimum? Just askin. :-/
Gia is getting ready to pay those bills….
My thought exactly!
See I don’t think she is trying to oblige-I think she is thoroughly humiliated and genuinely wanted to avoid the press. She sees what she says on tv as Teresa the actress, who to her is a separate being from Teresa the person. Just my opinion, not saying I am right and you are wrong.
I hope she truly and fully GETS IT why she’s there and comes out a better person.
She deserves this, but I cant be happy about it. What’s wrong with me? I’ve never, ever been a fan of hers and wanted her to pay for her crimes. It’s hard to think of the girls having to go face the public, while Tre is protected. I hate to imagine what those poor kids have to endure, especially today at school. I wonder if they were woke up in the dark, to tell mom goodbye. I hope they didn’t wake to her just being….gone. I’m mad all over again for what Joe and Tre caused those kids.
You can’t be happy because you are a decent human being. No one with a modicum of decency dances on the graves of others’ misfortunes. That’s just a sure way for the arrow to point your way next time. But I am with you on the anger at the parents. Reckless.
Willingly committing 41 counts of fraud is not a “misfortune.” It’s criminal behavior. Jail time is the punishment. When justice is served people are happy.
without the slightes sign of remorse we might add. . .
I agree with your sentiments did she bring this on herself yes, are we still allowed to have compassion, yes. This is a very unfortunate situation for the children and I totally agree with your statement about dancing on the graves of others misfortunes. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. Some bigger than others.
I’ve witnessed a lot people spewing hate at a reality star when they have no clue or chose to ignore the criminal activities of the elected officials in their local government which actually affects them. I’m NOT speaking about this blogger or the commenters, in general among the other sites I’ve visited. It just blows my mind how many people I see on many blogs that have followed this case step by step and spent loads of time and energy on this story. Even saying hateful things about her children then proceed to analyze everything that she’s said or done since season 1 on RHONJ. Personally, I believe there are more important things that we should be angry and outraged about. This is peanuts compared to the issues human kind is facing.
These shows and blogs are supposed to be fun, now it seams that they’ve taken a dark turn into hate sites.
OK…I’m off my soap box and before you make a response, please note in my post that I did not say one mean thing about this blog or the commenters here. I’m making some general comments about the blogosphere as I see it. Thanks.
Yet you are here, at a site to discuss entertainment news. That news often involves criminal charges against people on the shows we discuss. Just like any other criminal, politician or otherwise these people face judgment by both the courts and the public. I don’t shed any tears for convicted felons serving time.
If you would like to devote your life to saving human kind, you should log off the Internet and find a cause to devote yourself to rather than hanging out on entertainment blogs.
Hell, I’m dancing, laughing and pissing on that grave.
A bit of background. I’ve worked in non profit organizations most of my adult life(since 23). I volunteer with youth, primarily teen girls, I’m a former board member of a non profit in that empowers children through creative expression– culinary arts, painting drawing, crafts etc. I’m currently on the board of a non profit that provides supportive services to parents of children with special needs (relatively new board appointment for me). I held a toy drive with the founder of a non profit that provides supportive services to children who have/had incarcerated parents. I’ve worked briefly with felons that re-entering society (very briefly).
I’m a divorced single parent and my kid is college. I have an online retail store and sell on ebay and amazon (learning FBA…it was a pain to learn but I like it, and may have my orders from my website fulfilled through amazon). I make leather accessories by hand, so I threw up the site in the meantime to make some money while I perfect my craft. On my current FT job I’m assistant to the President and the BOD (some flexibility to play online and take extra long lunches with the VP of my company). By business is under 4 years old so I’m still learning and growing. I also want to start a scholarship fund to send inner city kids to camp for the entire summer or a book scholarship for college kids…. but I cannot start my own non profit yet..I have waaayyy too much going on. I am very busy woman and my life is crazy. I NEED an outlet and guess what. Its ratchet reality and the many blogs that cover them. I need to unwind with silliness and anonymous interaction with people in peaceful and respectful manner. But you are right, I did resolve to watch more CNN, read more and renew my subscription to the business publications I had on my ipad.
With all that said I’m not asking you to shed any tears or have compassion but I don’t think you should $h!t on people who do.
This reminds me of that time the illiterate poster emailed me a picture of her degree from Agricultural College to prove she was educated.
Who remembers that one?

LOL. That was a good read however,
I had your acknowledgement when you replied to my comment to a fellow poster as we expressed our opinions of the TG saga, then I went off about how people are vicious on blogs.
You acknowledged me by insulting me for reading blogs and told me to log of and go save the world.
I proceeded to provide you a little context (aka my resume), hoping you would understand where my “heal the world” mentality and compassion for the this particular felon comes from.
You then compared me to an illiterate poster with an agricultural degree you had an exchange with. (My degree is from ITT Tech btw I hope that is sufficient). Perhaps you were trying to say that I’m illiterate. I don’t know…I will have to look up the word illiterate.
I replied to a fellow commenter, you disagreed with our opinion and proceeded to insult me and make me feel bad for having the opinion that I have.
I think your responses to our exchange says a lot about you. I comment on this blog and manage to do so without insulting them.
Have a great day. I love your blog and find you funny as hell.
You so did not go to ITT Tech.
Also the ag college girl emailed me to say that her degree was in education not from the ag department.

Hmm, save your pity for the women who had to give their children to the state before they went to prison, pity the women who are in withdrawals/ D.T.s because not enough money for detox, pity the women who will have no visitors or people that care, pity the women who will return to prison because they can’t get jobs, housing, help and it’s easier to return ’cause at least you have a bed and meals. Teresa has people that love her. Her kids are with her husband. She’ll get mail and visitors.
Minimogul, I applaud your non profit work, but do you shine your halo daily or is it tarnish free?
@fivecatsownme My work is too important for me to waste time on such tasks….that’s what cherubs are for 🙂
Hahahahaha
Fuck, yeah, THANK YOU, TT and diamondwater!!!
Minimogul… Major monologues!
And thank you as well, five cats. There’s some reality for you. Teresa’s daw-ters, yes, it’s sad for them. But so many kids have it so much worse.
I feel the exact same way. I am not a fan of the parents, and I do think the kids are getting too bratty, but my heart does hurt for them. They have been used by the family for publicity too long. I hope and pray a grandmother or female friend that has some BRAINS and common sense steps in for these girls to help them ahead.
Amen.
I think it is good she was given time, and I actually think it could be a good thing for the girls as well (in the long run) so they can learn from it. Obviously it will be difficult, but the family will survive. I’m not happy about it either, because well I don’t feel elated or satisfied or joyful, because I’m not that deeply emotionally invested. I do know it is a good thing though.
@microop I don’t think the children will learn a thing because their parents aren’t admitting to doing anything wrong . Their attituude is I dont know why this is happening to me .as is the attitude of their entire family . The only two who look afraid and may make an about face is joe and Melissa . Do you remember what joes dad said about the whole situation and do you remember how angry and insulted Theresa is when anyone dares says she did the wrong thing ? Didn’t gia say that she wants to be an attorney to defend people like her parents ? The adults in their lives attitude is the govt and law are the enemy .These kids are drowning in ignorance . They won’t learn . Maybe one out of the four will have enough sense to put two and two together later on in life .
@O.O
What’s that quiet one’s name. Not the youngest. Not Gia. Not Melania. The other one who wears the hat. I think she’ll learn.
So sad that no one remembers that poor girl’s name – she’s practically invisible in all of that chaos, isn’t she? It’s Gabriella.
Or Audriana. One or the other. I seriously don’t know either. 🙂

Gia wanting to be a defense attorney was touching to me. Do you think she should hate her mother? She is at an impressionable young age-you can make lemonade from lemons you know. This might be the worst thing that turns out to be the best thing that could have happened to this family.
Did i just now read commentary on the commentary here ??? Maybe it’s me and I’m the one getting redundant! Too much Teresa Giudice…I’m going to sue her for messing with my head. If she has money to pay that new fancy lawyer of hers, then she has money I can sue her for.
I understand that justice was served, but the nastiness spewing out of some people’s mouths, you’d think she was a mass rapist/serial killer. She broke the law. She’s paying the price, but reading the hateful comments made by some people online is really frightening to me. Can’t people just be glad justice is being served? Seriously a disturbing commentary on society to see such hatefulness.
OMG…where have you been! I thought it was just me…maybe I’m too soft and mushy…but it helps to know I’m not alone.
Your comment has an eerie similarity to this one (found on Teresa’s hometown page) → “Teresa Guidice is not a mass murderer. Stop holding her up for cruxifixion. Let her do her court-ordered sentence in peace and quiet and stop acting like you’re all a bunch of saints already. Your jealousy of her wealth is so glaring that’s it’s blinding.”
Do you also post under the name Georgette? Georgette Swizzle, maybe?!
Other than the reference to mass murderer, I don’t really see the similarities in the posts. Georgette sounds a bit worked up. I’m just disturbed by what I see as the overly inflated anger towards another person. I don’t see the need for the hostility, but then, I’m a pretty chill person.
I’ve been to jail (not federal prison) for something stupid in my younger days. I “only” had to do 72 hours and believe me it was no treat. The menu we all read is food prepared by other inmates, and I doubt anyone is watching to see that it’s done under sanitary conditions. By the time she gets it, it will be cold, congealed, flavorless pap. Yes I learned from my mistake and have gone one to improve my life 100% and NEVER made that mistake or did in anything to out myself in a situation of making that mistake again. Well, I’ll just go ahead and say, it was for a reckless endangerment driving offense. One day is like 1 year. Do I think Teresa should have been punished? Of course. But I also think for a first time, non violent (read, not a child molestor or murderer) that her sentence was just and enough. It definitely isn’t “3 hots and a cot”. That is some big time sugar coating to put it mildly. I can’t bear to see animals in cages anymore bc of it. And men have it way worse than women. It would not surprise me if Joe didn’t flee the country anyway when Teresa gets out. The only thing I can say that could be true for her, is the inmates were kind, the guards didn’t bother you as long as you did as you were told and weren’t a smartass. But for someone like her who has led a very pampered and sheltered life, this 13 months will feel like 20 years. It will change her for sure, just remains to be seen how it will change her. She can make this have a positive outcome-I really hope it is the wake up call she needed. If this doesn’t knock some sense into her, nothing will.
But I can assure you, it will not be a picnic for her AT ALL. There are absolutely no upsides to being locked up and controlled like a laboratory rat. I really really hope she learns from this and doesn’t pull an Apollo. It’s people like him who make those of you who have never been on the other side think it must not be that bad. Apollo is just stupid. But I can promise you that she will feel every single one of those 4,745 days and they will CRAWL by. It’s disgusting, it’s humiliating, and her punishment is enough.
@swizzle: I think a lot of the anger is due to the fact that Teresa and Joe won’t admit to having done anything wrong – they just do not show any humility or accept any responsibility for their actions.
If Tre had shown any remorse whatsoever, I might have some empathy for her. But no, right up until the end she was still being Tre. She didn’t understand this or that, her lawyer messed up, nothing was her fault.
No, I don’t have a single ounce of empathy in me for Tre.
Yup. Sorry, I had some empathy for Apollo, who at least admitted his wrongs and aid he felt remorseful. Judge me on that one, I don’t care. A little bit of humility goes a long way.
Where did Joe get that pimped out truck? He has no money supposedly.
I was thinking the same damn thing. That and WHY the hell is he driving?
I have always believed Tre lives in serious denial LAND.
I feel so bad for these little girls. Yet, I worry for Teresa. She is in for such an awakening. I wonder if that jail lets the women watch Bravo.
Breelee, that’s been my major gripe all along. Never considering what her kids would have to go through. Every time I read or hear about her concern for her girls I want to barf. She and Joe were so greedy. All the stealing done was for them to live the high life. Yearning to be The Upper Class. Have all the pretty things. But never thought about those girls and their futures. All that money….yet no college money was set aside. That screams volumes. Selfish, selfish, selfish !!!
Riley, mine too! Tre always saying her 4 daughters are her life, I call bull. You don’t risk being away from your kids for money. Tre needs to admit money and fame are worth more to her than her girls, as she proved it to the world. Every time she or her friends say she’s a great mom, I want to scream. Dina makes me the most angry when she says it. She seems to be a good mom, and should see Tre for who she is. A crook who only uses the girls when it benefits her!
Preach!!!
Please tell me they aren’t allowed to tweet there! Although I wish the cameras could follow her through her prison stay! Now THAT I would tune in for 🙂
I just cannot find any way to feel sorry for her or her family. I will not be holding my breath that she will have some sort of epiphany while she is away. I cannot think of any celebrity that served time and came out being a “better person.”
As the old proverb says, “Not my circus, not my monkey.”
@jrleaguer and kk bella, I agree with both of you, I don’t think she will change or “learn her lesson”. ( I would like to think she would) But I don’t really think she is capable of changing. If she always holding on to the delusion of “I don’t know why this is happening to us” or “I’m a good person, I always pay my taxes” etc. this time away from home and her kids isn’t going to change anything. She will probably emerge as a newer and stronger criminal with a better vocabulary ready to write some books and Andy and Bravo will welcome her with open arms (cause they will smell more $$ to be made from her) But I do hope her girls will be alright.
I agree with both of you! I don’t think a year is enough time to change her unless, it’s a total nightmare. I do not mean a nightmare by not having luxury items but by treatment of other inmates. And perhaps the crappiest job one could have. How long has she been on Rhonj? Six seasons or something. I never seen her change or evolve at all. May be a little better at hiding her temper but not really. I think she will come out with a big chip on her shoulder about how wronged she has been!
I actually think Michael Vick learned about the ethics of animal abuse and came out of jail remorseful and reformed.
Not saying Teresa will, but just in response to not one celebrity changed by jail comment.
I agree re: Vick. And he sickened me beyond belief going in.
She will not be enlightened. She will come out still believing that she had no responsibility for what she stole. The adults taking care of the children now need to teach them to “buck up”, and deal with the reality that both parents are felons. Tough lesson. But it is the only way for them to survive and thrive. Maybe she can teach yoga, or take English classes? There is no where to go but up for her whacked moral compass.
Working in the prison kitchen she may finally learn something about cooking rather then just writing about it (or ghost written allegedly). I hope she likes baloney sandwiches because they serve then a lot…. I’m told.
If memory serves Teresa as a child was raised in a small Italian village which was not easy. She will do fine.
Is Patterson a village in Italy? I thought it was in NJ!
Did you really just compare prison to a small Italian village?
Linda Taylor, you are delusional.
This whole exchange is hilarious 🙂
Lol. I believe she did. This is hilarious.
Justice has been served.
Also serving bologna sangwich with humble pie.
TT, is she going to be eligible for time off for good behavior or will she serve the full 15 months?
I think I remember TT saying that federal sentences had to be served at least 75% so she will be in at least a year, I believe.
If she doesn’t flip any tables, she will serve 12.9 months.

Good thing the tables are bolted to the floor!
Is it in fact at least 85% of a sentence that is the minimum for what a federal prisoner must serve??
Bye Theresa!
I’m wondering is joe even allowed to leave the state to take the kids to see her in prison. Also thought that people with felonies weren’t allowed to visit inmates.
Good point! I remember that too. Probably they have made an exception for Joe.
Maybe one of her prison pals will introduce her to hairline threading?
I don’t get how Teresa only gets 15 months when Heather Bliss gets 30 months for committing the same sort of crime (complicit in husband’s mortgage fraud) that leads to only $40,000 in damages. I feel bad for Tre’s kids, but they should be grateful for getting special treatment from the courts.
Tre and Joe danced the tarantella on the graves of people they defrauded without remorse.
Soooo Joe was able to just drive on by police security on a suspended license? I would have kept my children out of school the first few days, idk maybe they wanted to go.
Nm, just read where you said he has a license now. I really do think Tre “gets it” even though we see her on tv spouting off fairy tales. I think she sees herself as two separate people, the public Tre who says whatever she wants to try to appear and save face, and then the private one at home. Like her tv self is just an actress.
Teresa doesn’t get it. The “private Teresa at home” filed a lawsuit against her former BK attorney basically stating it’s his fault. This POS woman will always look fofor others to blame. I just hope her prison time is horrible for her.
Elizabeth that is all for public show
I respect your point of view but I’m curious — Was it private or public (aka “actress”) Teresa standing in front of the judge (prior to sentencing) saying “I get it”? And who was it immediately after sentencing who fired her attorney & said “I thought my lawyer was gonna fight for me” or “I didn’t know what a plea deal meant”?? Also a few months ago, was it private or public Teresa that stated during an interview (paraphrasing): “We have no money put away for my 4 beautiful daw-ters futures because we had to spend it all on lawyers to defend ourselves from a crime we didn’t commit”?! And was it the private or public mother figure who encouraged (& defended) her 13yr old daughter begging for money from strangers (on a site set up for those truly in need) → so she could make a music video?!
Reading back my comment, even asking these questions is confusing — I can only imagine how difficult it is for Teresa to keep these 2 sides of herself separate! ☺
Again, Joe’s license is NOT suspended.
http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2014/10/15/joe-giudice-is-a-fucking-moron-in-court/
He may or may not lose it in March… depends on how long his plea deal can be drawn out and how good his lawyer is.

Teresa is < a b list celebrity. Why will anyone in prison care? She will do fine. I think she was sent to Danbury because she had such a short sentence and the bureau of prisons was kind. As for being kept in isolation only if she screws up.
I think she will adjust. Soon she’ll attempt to con the cons and “work the system”. Joe will likely give interviews or leak some info now and then to keep the story relevant (and grab some easy cash). They have a plan. If it’s possible, I’m sure she’ll give interviews, etc
She can call up the gossip rags from the prison. It’s possible.
It’s possible and probable. But, those calls are a privilege. I’m guessing that after a very emotional settling in period, she’ll be a giant pain in the ass. Just a guess 😉
I still find myself feeling more sympathy for Joe than Teresa. I guess because I felt like he was very humbled last season. If Teresa would of shown some of that humility, the public wouldn’t be so “hateful” towards her. She tried to fake humility but it was transparent. If you go on a reality show (remember when she first showed up most of us still thought reality tv was real) and present yourself to be something that you are not, then of course there will be outrage by the very public you lied to. Same principle applies to all public figures. Why has the outrage been so hateful, because time and time again she has shown the public just how greedy and unconscionable she is.
I imagine people have more sympathy for Joe because he’s said (repeatedly) “It is what it is”! Kind of like, ‘Yeah I did the crime & I’ll serve my time’. Teresa on the other hand only said she “gets it” PRIOR to being sentenced & immediately after Judge Salas sentenced her, she fired her attorney & said (verbatim) “I thought my lawyer was gonna fight for me”!
Over the next 15 months, along with teaching his 4 girls some principles (including empathy & manners), I hope the 5 of them bond over this & learn how to have some fun (like the rest of us poor folk do) → without ill-gotten gains. Play some games, make tents in the living room & sleep in the dark (they may have no choice, not being able to pay the utility bills).
ETA: A common theme seems to be many are worried that without Teresa’s income, how will Joe be able to afford clothes & other “necessities” for the girls! After seeing the clip of Milania showing off her walk-in closet & all her dresses she’s never worn because “they’re too ugly” — that should be the least of his concerns. They’re actually lucky to have 4 girls. Ever heard of “hand-me-downs”? Oh the horrors!
I’m actually glad to see that Joe had the entire house to himself (after sending the girls off to school). There’s no doubt the past 3 months have been a living hell for him & even though he screwed up royally, it’s well deserved. “Happy wife, happy life → it has NOT been! I imagine he blasted the music throughout the house & spent the day dancing his ass off, sliding across those marble floors with his stocking feet & playing air guitar (ala Tom Cruise in Risky Business). Knowing in 15 months he’ll have to go away for 40+ months (with no wine, women, or song) + the possibility of deportation → he’s in NO hurry for wifey to come home.
How are they still able to live in that tacky mansion? Incredible to me that this asset was not seized and sold to the highest bidder – regardless of whether they are upside down in it or not. I just re-watched S1E1 RHONJ where Teresa was using cash to by over $100K in furniture for that house. Sickening.
As I said before, the bank will seize the house. The bankruptcy case was only recently officially finished up. Those with claims against the Giudices had to wait for the official final ruling before they could go after them.
I’m hoping the bank seizes the house during the next 15 months & some ‘kind-hearted’ exec doesn’t think with their mother in prison it would be too traumatic for the girls. Over the years MANY families have lost their homes, even after doing it the right way — through hard work & struggles. Avoiding the inevitable will only cause further harm to those kids. Just rip it off quick — like a band-aid.☺
ETA: I still don’t understand the preferential treatment these 2 have gotten. They’re friggin “reality” personalities, NOT talented actors, singers, sports figures, philanthropists, humanitarians, etc.! What a world ☺
Sometimes it takes three or four or even more years to foreclose on a house. I hope they don’t make the mistake of waiting till the last minute to scramble around for someplace else because when that whip finally does come down, it comes down fast.
Just because you can stay, doesn’t mean you should. Very stressful with that hanging over your head, not knowing where your next home will be or when you will be ordered out onto the street — especially with four kids.
It’s best to stay a step ahead of the inevitable. I realize they don’t have a lot of choices, but since they went on a recent family ski holiday like they didn’t have a care in the world (duh), I’m thinking they’ve got money somewhere to get another place to live. Just how to explain where that money came from could prove to be problematic, however
If I were Juicy, I’d be giving non-stop daily paid interviews as my new career. Maybe youse could write a book, too, Joe.
Minimogul we don’t think you’re too soft and mushy just your brain. Save your pity for someone more worthy.
I’m fascinated by what might have happened with those massive hair extensions. If the photos of her Monday morning breakfast are real, it appears that she continued to wear them right into prison. I don’t think they are allowed, but it looks like she did it anyway. Not surprised.
what photos of her Monday morning breakfast?
If your a pretty “chill” person you absolutely typed in the wrong site to come to. Try Kumbaya.com. 🙂
Thanks for the great laugh.

Minimogul this is not an auto-biograghic blog please record your memoires elsewhere.
Ha ha ha ditto!
Please everyone…..let’s have a moment of silence in memory of my favorite housewife to poke fun at. It will be a year at least until I hear another WTF was she thinking comment come from her tiny brain through her huge mouth.
Minimogul was brave to post her resume, sorry that no one cares. I will miss keeping up with Teresa, you cannot make this stuff up. I don’t think she will come out reformed, her personality was set in place a long time ago and I think in her family is shady, Teresa and Joe and not the only ones committing fraud. Money seems to be a big issue and living within your means seems impossible. No way they can ever pay the money back, why don’t we hear more from the people they defrauded? How can they stay married, 5 years is a very long time to stay faithful to your spouse.
Please no more rhonj, yuck to all the possible wives!!!!!!!!!!’ All of them
Hey minimogul, thank you for submitting your resume but we are not hiring. Please go to a blog with a higher tolerance for idiots.
Lets face it she already has a publisher and “writes” books. When she gets out her phony fake ass “tell all” will be sold and make its way to the top of the NYTimes bestseller list a la dipship Brandi Glanville. No lesson other than polyester chaffs the skin will be learned.
Yes a book will be her best bet for immediate money. But, BRAVO could possibly keep her on board(which I think they will) but they should tell her in order for her to stay on with them, she HAS to discuss prison, finances and what realty watchers want to hear. (Thats what makes money for them) She should not be able to dodge questions like she did with Andy and final episodes of RHONJ.
TT…that’s just hilarious that person contacted you about her resume since its been awhile ago. Absolutely, lmao. Now she can’t ever say “I don’t visit your blog.” Pishhhaww.
Oh, so you throw TT and the site under the bus, then respond sarcastically, only to say hey “I need/want your blog.” Wow…and I’ve been told on here, I need meds. :-/ look in tha mirror. You obviously do need this site even with all your degrees/CV and resume stuff because you keep coming back with comments.
The moment I saw that pic of Teresa looking in the giant mirror I just about died laughing because I remember reading Andy quoted as saying that Joe and Teresa were not the most reflective people. Ha ha ha!
