Despite the fact that she and her husband Joe Giudice are being accused of perjury, in the form of concealing assets during their bankruptcy filing, in addition to an auction date set for August 22nd to auction off the contents of their home items to pay off their creditors, Teresa Giudice is showing off her home in the latest issue of In Touch magazine.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who seems to be in major denial when it comes to her financial and legal woes, tells the mag of her 12,000-square-foot NJ mansion: “My house is very warm — even though it’s big, it’s very inviting and that’s what I love.”
And despite the fact that her husband’s finances are being investigated by the IRS plus the very public knowledge of her $11 million debt, Teresa makes certain to brag about just how luxurious her mansion is. “We had our house built with nothing but marble, granite and onyx,” she says, “I don’t think you can ever have too much of that. I could’ve had even more,” says Teresa the idiot.
Teresa could also be heard bragging that her mansion is worth $5 mil in last week’s episode of the Real Housewives of NJ, despite the fact that it’s value was listed at $1.7 mil in their bankruptcy filing. More photos of Teresa’s home below.
In other NJ news, more legal woes for Danielle Staub. Just days after her ex-boytoy/former sex tape partner Steve Zalewski filed suit against her for defamation, Zap2It is now reporting that her ex-husband is also planning to file a new lawsuit against her within the next two weeks .
That ex-husband is Kevin Maher, the man who wrote ‘Cop Without A Badge,’ the book which details Danielle’s sordid past as a prostitution coke whore.
Kevin tells Zap2it his attorneys will file a lawsuit against Danielle, her book’s alleged ghost writer and its publisher, Simon & Schuster for “lies” found in her book, “The Naked Truth.”
And what exactly are those lies? “The lie that she told about me was that I beat her in a cocaine stupor for days,” Kevin says. “And then when the police showed up, I confessed and then I went to prison.” He adds, “I was never in prison in my adult life. Period.”
Kevin also reveals he is actually working with Steve and that the two had hoped their suits would hit together. “Steve and I were working together,” he reveals. “We wanted to sue her on both coasts at the same time, but my lawyer was too busy and Steve beat us to it.”

Thanks Montana27, Hey Dyana, Eva, Lck. Lisa.alea and all others posters. Dy are you pouring. I’ll take my usual, champagne with a tequila chaser (no salt)
Got ya GingerTee
Love that you double fist..That’s my girl..On on the Preview thread.
Thanks Elsie, Montana, and Lisa,
I’m okay with people disagreeing with me; opinions are like @#$%#! And everyone has got one, including me. There are those that just adore her and her mute (mutt?) husband. Just go to her Bravo blog to experience the love, love, love! her fans adoringly bestow her.
I have to admit; the Giudices in particular, bring out the smack down in me. I live in one of the hardest hit places in the nation when it comes to the housing market, and its people like the Guidices (granted I don’t blame them alone) that facilitated this deep abyss our economy is in. I’ve seen friends and neighbors lose their jobs, homes, and their dreams, because of the type of real estate speculation Juicy had a hand in.
Of course, he certainly wasn’t the only one by a long shot, but to then to watch his spouse, the Empress of Gauche, flaunt their financial house of cards, to the masses, as if she were channeling (Thanks, Kelly!) Marie Antoinette sequestered in her palace with her “let them eat cake” attitude is particularly galling and I take issue with it. Teresa is lucky in a sense, if she loses her head, it will only be figuratively. Though, by evidence of her cognitive knowledge and miniscule vocabulary, the loss of her head is not a big one since she gives the impression it is already a mass of empty space. Kinda like her McMansion.
Ain’t that right, Teresa??
I know that the J. Larita’s husband is having business difficulties, but at least J has the sense to have some humility, which keeps them out of the line of fire. So, perhaps the Larita’s need to school the Giudices on how to publicly behave when the money well dries up.
Otherwise, I will continue to sparkle up my dreary life by taking cheap (since that is all I can afford in this economy) at the Tacky Twosome.
Peace
Oh sorry guys..
It’s DE…I’m on another computer with a name I created a while ago and wasn’t going to use anymore. Then, I forgot to sign in with DE.
Anyway..apologies for the confusion. No ill intended.
Okay…that’s better.
@103 Elaine (aka De)(no worries about the name) I’m with you on this one. The more crap that keeps coming out about T & J the more ticked off I get. I think the reason it makes me so angry is Teresa’s arrogance and attitude, likes she’s so much richer and classier than everyone else.
@Montana27, Gingertee, & Elsie — Hi! Very well said imo.
@DE — Hi! I always enjoy your posts & I couldn’t agree more with you. I really like what you had to say about Chris Larita. Seems to try hard to be the voice of reason.
@Dyana — Hi! How’s it going?
@Lck — Hi! How’s it going? Yes, I did watch Dina’s wedding…before & after the ceremony. It was neat to see all of the work/preparation involved.
@107 Hi Lisa!
@103..Some people like Danielle too.. Anyway people are going to like certain Bravolebrities no matter what they do..ya know?
Joan: I realize now that my comments have been upsetting to to you and and I apologize from my heart.
I was just trying to find friends.
You are not alone; some others have commented recently that my comments are dribble and recapped some of your own sentiments about my posts and self-centered ulterior motives and my being a “needy” person hoping to find friends and asking for sympathies and making everything about me.
I don’t disagree with you about who I am emotionally – you are right as the others are – I was and am lonely and seeking friends.
I realize now this was the wrong place to look and I was too open in my emotions and feelings and sharing of my life.
The one thing I want to say is I have not lied or made up tales about my life; everything I said is true and valid.
However, as you said, this site is not about me.
Again, I apologize for my posts and such.
I will just listen in from now on and not burden or perturb the many people on this site who have found me to be obnoxious and boring or self-centered.
Why would you put a tv over the fireplace? I would think getting melted plastic off a marble floor would be a big problem. I don’t get it.
@108Dyana — Hi! I hope everyone here can get along. I like to have peace & harmony. Just ask anyone who has ever known me…I really/truly do like peace. Since I grew up with emotional abuse w/ my mother…& had to deal with a m-i-l more scary than Omarosa (sp?)…I like all to get along.
@Sven — Hi! I hope you are doing well with your health issues.
@110 Oy Vey — Hi! I can’t stop laughing!
@109 Sven, don’t be so hard on youself. People here are very forgiving especially if you give a good banter. Most people’s memories are short, anyway. So I’d say chin up and jump back into the fray!
@111 Yes Lisa..I agree..But sometimes shit happens on this site,as well as others..
@113
YEP.. And let it gooooooooo
Hi Lisa., I was dancing in the corner listening to my headphones hoping not to get hit by any mud, looking at the tv thinking WTF. Unless it’s like everything else in Tacky T’s and the fireplace is fake, that would explain a lot.
@Elise — Hi! I apologize if I misspelled your name earlier. I really enjoyed your post.
@Oy Vey — Hi! Okay, now my stomach hurts from laughing so hard!
@109 Sven -hey it’s an open forum and everyone’s entitled to express themselves. Come on back and enjoy. This is one of the most civil sites, that’s why I come on here. People will disagree but it’s usually in a good way.
92 @Victoria says: – “The financial issues are a result of the economy” . . . Really??? The economy??? How about being irresponsible and arrogant? They are over spending and thumbing their noses at us all by degrading anyone living in a “used” home and dropping money they shouldn’t.
“If anyone knows anything about the bible, in Proverbs 31, it talks about The Virtuous Woman. Teresa clearly qualifies under this category.” . . . . . DEFINITION – vir·tu·ous 1. conforming to moral and ethical principles; morally excellent; upright: Lead a virtuous life. 2. chaste: a virtuous young person.
OMG – are you serious???? I think even mentioning this woman’s name and the bible in the same sentence is blasphemy!
Wow, you all spew about T & J and all they are going through. You trash talk her home decor, her dress, her looks and yet get upset when I call you pathetic. Interesting…..might want to think about that one. You can dish it but you can’t take it.
I don’t think that people would be so angry with them if they just had a bit of humility and admitted that they screwed up. Instead, we have them inviting photographers to view their fabulous palazzo, driving around town in a Maserati and lounging on ridiculously overpriced comfortless miniature furniture. Why not drive a Buick and have a sectional like the rest of us? Why have solid gold fixtures in your bathroom when the rest of us have brushed nickel from Home Depot? When most people dress their kids from hand-me-downs and Target, she buys thousands of dollars of designer clothes the girls aren’t going to be able to wear before they’ve outgrown them. Instead of using a crib passed from one sister to another, she buys each baby a new crib. Why spend $9K for a birthday party for an 8 year old when $100 would be just as good and the kids would have just as much fun? I think that people might not be so horribly angry at them if they just stopped talking about how much they have and how wonderful their lives are. We read the news, we know how much they DON’T really have, so stop talking about it! We aren’t buying into their stories anymore!
@kwow – lmao!!!
If a post begins with “love, love, love you” or “so many people are in the same financial situation” – confident these posters are juicy trolls.
@joan
You may want to post the definition of the word humility for the juicy fans
Has anyone else noticed that Joe’s eyes always look bloodshot? He should try Visine, it gets the red out. Maybe he can get an endorsement and it will help offset the $11M they owe, just an idea that pooped into my head.
oops @124 it popped into my head!
121 @ Joan – now that’s what I’m talking about sista! Just the fact they have not adhered to a more “Buick” mentality is what chaps my hide and illustrates my “nose thumbing” thoughts. Gotta keep hoping and praying that karma stuff pans out – and being thankful I’m keeping my side of the road cleaned!!!
@123
Really?
#124 @Oyvey – I liked the “pooped into my head” – kind of meshes with the topic of conversation, actually!! Visine might work, but IMHO, backing off the juice that led to his DUI might also help those red beady peepers!!
@121joan — Hi! How are you doing? I couldn’t agree more. I’m not jealous of Teresa & Joe. My husband & I live in a very nice home in a very nice neighborhood. The only difference is that we have always paid all of our bills on time…the people we owe, have not over-spent, & have not gone into such unbelievable debt. I have much more respect for people who pay everyone they owe & do not spend money they don’t have. I have respect for honest people. I understand that there are very hard working people in our country who have gone through/are going through difficult times, but they aren’t spending & spending money they don’t have. IMO, with Teresa & Joe it boils down to greed. To me it’s not about all of the “flash”. If a person wants to live a certain lifestyle…like Teresa & Joe…I would hope that they would be able to cover all costs…and be able to pay all the people they owe. Again, I feel sorry for their children (material possessions aren’t the most important things in life), business assoc., tenants, etc. I have a difficult time knowing that Teresa kept spending money & more money…esp. after I read about some of their tenants not getting the help they really needed. Just one example of many imo.
@ kwow, I think the “pooped in my head” was a Freudian slip about what deep sh#t these people got themselves into. I figured someone might come up with something snarky so I covered my ass.
Going back to the corner with my headphones.
Sven
I hope that you understand what I said and why. Sometimes, in the search for companionship, we put so much of ourselves out for display, and when we see others being comforted or supported, we want that same feeling. All I’m saying is let people have their story. Not everything has to come back to us, not everything has to have happened to us only worse. We can commiserate and console each other and feel just as good.
You have lived a very diverse life and have experienced things that others may have no concept of. But this is a board where we snark on reality shows and their casts. We seek common ground and want to fit in, but everything does not come back to one individual. I hope that you understand this and take this as what it is, and as I said earlier, go back to enjoying the site for what it is. Join in the conversation and provide bits of insight and have fun with it. The drama provided by Bravo is more than enough to take us away from our day to day lives and gives us plenty of opportunities to snark away!
Does anyone know if people get paid for being in this magazine.
Seems like they need a good media consultant ASAP since the publics perception of arrogance has only gotten worse due to her recent comments, magazines articles etc. T is going to end up being hated like other housewives.
This is what I found in regards to the woman shown in Proverbs 31. While Theresa is a woman and has a family, I’m not sure that I’ve found many other instances of similarity, but, I may have overlooked something. This is a modern-day interpretation of the woman described in the Biblical passage noted. It is an interesting passage and I think you might enjoy this interpretation.
As found on this link:
http://www.wcg.org/lit/bible/poet/prov31.htm
What we find is a strong, dignified, multitalented, caring woman who is an individual in her own right. This woman has money to invest, servants to look after and real estate to manage. She is her husband’s partner, and she is completely trusted with the responsibility for their lands, property and goods.
She has the business skills to buy and sell in the market, along with the heartfelt sensitivity and compassion to care for and fulfill the needs of people who are less fortunate. Cheerfully and energetically she tackles the challenges each day brings. Her husband and children love and respect her for her kind, generous and caring nature.
Oh yeah, I like the “pooped” reference. What’s the old saying? If a foo shits…oops, I mean, if a shoe fits!
gigi@1234, for every one person here that does not like Teresa, there are 2 or 3 somewhere else that love her. The world is full of people with that “get over” “beat the system” mentality. I honestly think there are huge similarities with Danielle and Teresa. What Teresa does with money, Danielle does with people. They both are extreme, loud and way over the top. The only difference is that Teresa has a husband and I still think Danielle always thought she had a shot at Jacqueline’s husband.
@135 Hey GingerTee
There are people that like whatever housewive no matter what they have done.
People like Danielle, Gretchen, and others that have done some pretty shitty stuff. They like them for whatever reason.I just think people should like who they like and others, really shouldn’t question it because it is their choice.
By the way..I think Danielle always wanted Dina.
@gingertree
Totally agree think both T & D are obsessed w/being part of the in / cool / wealthy crowd.
A shot at Jac’s husband …. really …. pls tell …. Missed that but sometimes it has been difficult for me to pay attention except when there is table flipping, weave pulling.
@gingerTee
I am so sorry that I typed ginger tree lmao…guess I am channelling Barbara Walters…if u were a tree what kind of tree would u be….sorry
@GingerTee lol I like the coment u made about Daniella wanting Jacqueline’s husband i kind thought that in the first season of the show.
Just catching up reading posts here and on other threads..
@74 Dyana… First off, My original post was to/for abarts only. For some reason you inserted yourself and responded.
Secondly, you asserted yourself and brought another poster in to validate your point. This only made it worse because I responded with an opinion and stated throughout my post that it was IMHO and JMO.
Next you respond to me @66 with your said post @74.
Um..say WHAT…and WHAT!?!….Makes no sense to me. Again… Say What??
Peace out Dy
Nice house, but it needs a pool!
@109 Sven…Hi. Don’t “take your toys and go home” as Mario would say. You have interesting things to say. Everything is not so totally black & white (all or nothing). You’ve had a critique or two. So what? No reason to stop posting altogether.
Joan @131: I am taking your advice to heart; I will try very hard not to bring my observations and thoughts about the show and about other poster’s relating of their own personal life stories and/or experiences back around to make it all about myself.
I do like to post and talk to other posters here. I think the posters are intelligent and erudite and have a lot to offer, including their own personal stories.
I apologize again for being so self-centered and needy of affection and sympathy from other posters in a desperate desire to make friends here.
As a defense for my actions, only so you know, I had/have seen posters also sharing difficult life situations they had or were going thru and I got my “cue” from their personal stories, and thought it was it was okay to share mine, but I guess I went overboard.
I honestly did not mean to do that on a conscious level.
But I get what you have noticed – I am way to full of myself and too needy for companionship on this site; and it detracts from the conversation among and between the rest of the posters.
As the last defense for my neediness, and this I hope you will not take as another of my sympathy-getting excuses, because it is the truth and the reason for my actions and posts:
I am home-bound, on social security disability (for 8 years) and the internet is my window for my social life to make friends.
Because I had such a wonderful and full and exciting and accomplished life during the past 61 years, being home-bound is difficult and frustrating for me.
I guess I’ve been trying too much to talk about the full life I once had to make myself remember who I once was, etc. etc.
I knoe I should spend more time talking in therapy and to my psychiatrist that sharing here.
And from now on, going forward, I will just talk about the show and stuff and not about me.
But I wanted you to know that I’m not a ego-centric shithead.
I usually don’t like to get involve in crazyness but Lol !!!!!!!
Sven reminds me of the ‘chatrooms’ from 1998 when people used to pretend to be someone else.
Seems to be obsessing on a certain poster & leads me to believe they know them and is enjoying taking the piss out of them. Almost like imitating the poster.
I’m just sayin’ these posts don’t sound like a 61 yr old lonely woman who has been homebound for 8 years! She’s the best writer on here!
Just a thought! Lol!!!!!!
@144OH YEAH……….hmmmm..some very valid food for thought indeed…sometimes I feel I dont have to post…folks here seem to read my mind at times…..LOL LOL wink wink
Hugs and Peace

You know what would make that house really beautiful? If it was PAID FOR!!!! I have a small 3 bed/2bath house, and it’s a total CASTLE for me…because I own it, not the bank, and it’s never had 8 mortgages on it. I get so sick of people over-extending, then declaring bankruptcy….just to go out and spend more (pizza parlour, apt building, etc.)
Juicy and Trashy T…..buy a house you can AFFORD, and give us taxPAYERs a break.
Arrrghhhh…..I can not STAND these two!
This is perfect–that way the trustee overseeing her bankruptcy can be sure that they don’t withhold anything at the auction! Fabulicious!
@121 Joan: I agree.
What makes me personally feel angry and perturbed at Teresa is the flaunting of her wealth when so many people are just trying as best they can to hold onto a small home that they bought and only want a place to live in when few have been unscathed by the economic downturn of the past 5 years in some way.
If she just showed some compassion for the less fortunate or said, “Hey, I too, am having to realize…….” But she doesn’t. If she were to sometime say something that gave me compassion for her giving compassion for others, or admitting she, too, was effected, I would change my mind about her “I’m better than the rest of you” attitude.
@131 Joan, you said:
“I hope that you understand this and take this as what it is, and as I said earlier, go back to enjoying the site for what it is. Join in the conversation and provide bits of insight and have fun with it. The drama provided by Bravo is more than enough to take us away from our day to day lives and gives us plenty of opportunities to snark away!”
Thank you so much for your kind words and especially your understanding!
I learn every day from people who call me out or counsel me on “defects” in my personality. I have and do listen and try hard to change for the better.
You have given me much insight into where I have been wrong – and I mean this sincerely! You really did bring up for me things about myself I did not recognize and I am very thankful to you for what you counseled me about.
You were correct and it has given alot to be grateful for for your analysis of some things about me I was not seeing about myself. Again, I really mean this. Thank you for helping me to look into myself in ways I was blind to about myself.
You have helped me to turn a corner and grow.
@144 Oh Yeah: I promised to Joan and others yesterday I am trying very hard not to make this all about me and I am going forward with that but I did want to answer your comment about me: Thanks for saying I say some things that are good. And I am truthful about everything I said about myself – I am 61 and homebound. I didn’t visit chatrooms in 1998 cuz I didn’t even learn how to use the internet much until 2000. But I did participate in a few chat-rooms beginning in I think 2006(?) and was selective, mostly about the Anna Nicole case.
