Joe Giudice, deported to Italy after serving prison time for fraud, is publicly pleading with President Trump via Instagram for a pardon to visit his U.S. family, especially his daughters, expressing a desire to reconnect and be part of their lives again.
During the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 reunion, Frank Catania revealed that he was Joe Gorga's lawyer during an FBI probe into Joe Giudice, but Joe never said a word. Teresa Giudice accused Joe and his wife, Melissa Gorga, of playing a role in sending her to jail, but Frank's revelation contradicts that claim. The reunion was tense, and Teresa and Joe failed to mend their relationship.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice reportedly has a tax debt of over $1 million in New Jersey, with a federal tax lien of $17,061.32 filed against her in April 2023. Her attorney stated that she is making significant and timely monthly payments towards her outstanding tax liabilities. Teresa and her ex-husband Joe Giudice previously served prison sentences after being convicted of fraud in 2014 and have had multiple tax liens filed against them in the past. Despite her alleged debt, Teresa purchased a $3.3 million New Jersey mansion in 2021 and remarried last summer to Luis Ruelas.
