Teresa Giudice Reveals She Has Anxiety About Hubby Joe Giudice Going To Prison

For the third time in 4 weeks, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice graces the cover of In Touch Weekly magazine. The latest cover totes the heading “My Life Without Joe.”

This time around, the topic of conversation is not her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, but rather her husband Joe Giudice. Teresa reveals she is “terrified” of Joe going to prison for his latest arrest and being left alone to take care of their 4 daughters together.

In the article, Teresa doesn’t touch on her bankruptcy legal issues at all (she and Joe are scheduled to face trial next month for bankruptcy fraud) as she only brings up Joe’s recent arrest for allegedly fraudulently obtaining a state driver’s licence with his brother’s ID.

“It would be devastating,” said Teresa of the prospect of Joe going away – he is facing up to 10 year in prison. “I’m terrified. I don’t know what I’m going to do.” Teresa reveals she also worries about what a 10-year jail sentence would do to their four daughters – Gia, 10, Gabriella, 6, Milania, 5, and Audriana, 21 months.

“I would be very nervous about the kids if Joe were to go to prison,” admits Teresa. “Daddy is their hero and their king. They go crazy for him.” And of course the Giudices, well mostly Joe, uses this as an opportunity to take a shot at Teresa’s brother Joe Gorga. Joe “would not do “sh*t” for Teresa states Joe Giudice when asked who would help his wife in the case of a prison sentence.

Oddly enough, Teresa admits Melissa reached out to her during Joe’s past jail stint while her brother Joe didn’t. “When the whole thing happened, his wife [Melissa] texted me,” she remembers. “I was nice to her, saying, “Thanks for text. We’re doing fine.’ But it would have been nice if my brother called. He is my brother — it would have been good of him to reach out to me.” Teresa adds that she felt alone during that time aka during Joe’s 10-day sentence (he only served 8 days) despite getting support from Joe’s family.

Joe also shockingly says he would understand if Teresa divorced him and remarried if he went away for 10 years. Teresa however reveals she can’t even imagine dating anyone else. “I couldn’t see myself with another guy,” she confides. “I’ve known Joe my whole life.”

And today, Teresa says she has major anxiety. “I have anxiety about it,” Teresa says. “I can’t sleep.” Joe adds that he absolutely cannot go back to prison citing that “a week in jail is like an eternity.” He adds, “When you are living outside, taking care of your family and then suddenly, you’re confined and being ordered around, it’s awful.” He insists,”I don’t belong in a place where those people are.”

  1. LOL..Surely if you watched the episode where Theresa bought the furniture for her new house and paid cash for it, you had to know Juicy Joe was into something he shouldn’t be. I think she dished over 100K in cash! He’s pretty discusting. At the New Year’s party when they were dancing and Joe was running his hands over Theresa’s breast, he said “New year, same f*** holes!” It’s one thing to say that to your wife in privacy, but clearly he has no respect for her, or his children, to do that in front of cameras. Nor, does she have any for herself either to allow that to be done to her in public.

  2. Blas you are so rude. I paid cash for my furniture and I also pay cash for my personal needs such as nails and hair etc. People actually love to get cash instead of credit cards. LOL I sure wish I had a Joe that loved me like Joe G loves his Theresa. I wish him and his family all the best.

  3. Ps
    My son in law went to high school with Theresa and he has nothing but wonderful memories of her as a good friend and a person that has a heart of gold.

  4. Why is Blas rude? He made a couple of comments, you didn’t respond to the second one. Tina why do people like you defend people like this?…this complete denial. I watched the episode where Theresa kicked off with Danielle S. I think her behaviour was discusting. I don’t think much of Danielle, however this gives her no right to behave in that way. And on top of that, she was proud of her niece for attacking Ms Staub.

  5. OMG Theresa makes me sick to my stomach. Get a F@$%^ Job……. What a fake insignificant bit of fluff…. Oh by the way i’d be embarrassed and ashamed if they were my spoilt brats. Let’s hope you people get what you deserve.

    If Teresa wants support from Joe and Melissa Gorge, maybe she should be more supportive of them! She is making a fool of herself on national TV! She is the most jealous person I’ve ever seen!!

    ANONYMOUS BEC

    Joe states ”I don’t belong in a place where those people are.” – Well, yeah – YOU DO!!! just in case you haven’t realized – you broke the law – repeatedly. So I guess that means that you do belong in jail – where THOSE PEOPLE are! If you want to be a hero to your girls – better realize asap that you can’t go around committing self-endulging behaviors and spoiled attitude about life thinking that people owe you. Be a man. Admit that you made mistakes, Stop Lying – both you and your wife are straight liars and since you have chosen to publicly flaunt all that you had, people took note – now you want to lie so that it makes you appear in a better light in bankruptcy court. you are a criminal and yes, Joe – you and your wife belong in jail. It is one thing if you came clean on all that you owned and seriously tried to make restitution to your creditors – but you lied. I hope that they nail you good – so that your daughters will learn that being a diva, and taking without paying, will cost you big.

  8. You treated Danielle like she was garbage and you called her every name in the book. You publicly humiliated her on several occasions. You talked about her to just about everyone and on every level – but now who is in the spotlight. When will you learn that what comes around goes around – you reap what you sow. You are no better than she is. And now, the entire world has caught on. I hope you own up to your mistakes and do the right thing. Show your children that you have some dignity. You can’t blame everything on bad deals going south. Bottom line is that you lived beyond your means and showed no regard for paying your bills – rather you decided to live large and flaunt what you really did not have. Shameful.

    You people are crazy! Leave that woman alone and stop being so jelous.. I dig her style. Who wouldn’t live it if they had the chance? Her and Joe having a loving relationship and you people are so lonely and misreable you have to put it down.. Get a life people! Keep up the good work Theresa you have a alot of loyal fans and everyone that puts you down is just mad because they want to be you! And who cares about how she treated Danielle.. Look at how Danielle acts she deserves it she’s childish.

    Teresa's biggest fan!

    I spelled her name wrong lol!

  11. Blas,

    You are too presumptuous! My grandfather bought his last car brand new in cash, almot $80K, because he didn’t want to pay interest or have a payment. Does that mean he’s up to no good? NO! He just saved. See there’s this thing called cash that people used to use to pay for things…

  12. Teresa…seriously u need to mature. U need to keep ur big mouth shut. Ur husband as well. U both are an embarrasment to ur family. I wish Caroline would tell u what she’s thinking. U need some brutal honesty. However it would probably just go right over ur head. Bcuz we all know u think u are always without fault. Wake up. Use to like u.

    wht u know joe., deep shittuation., the show is great only in jersey baby ! camden…

  14. She is revolting!!!! Really unattractive , and she is completely transparent, conniving, manipulative, self absorbed nasty, nasty piece of work!! The scene during the reunion show when she flipped it like a pit bull with rabies(eeeeew) because Danielle ( who I thought was a piece of work but terese has raised the bar!!) mentioned that terese didn’t even send congratulations after the birth of her nephew… Well with the new season it all became pretty clear that she was trying to intimidate Danielle into not bringing up anything that would make her look bad.scum.

  15. OH PLEASE,Joe you dont belong in jail with those people,news flash you are one of those people.and teresa you are a HYPOCRITE,the way you treated danielle when the show started,was so wrong she had her issues,but u are no better than she is.You act like a religious person,but insult god everyday.THOSE WHO JUDGE WILL BE JUDGED.I dont feel sorry for anyone who puts themselves in the spotlight for fame and money.shows like this ruin peoples lives.GET OFF WHILE U CAN,FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN.And you and joe need to own up to your mistakes.Nothing good came out of these shows look at kate gosselin,and taylor armstrong husband,her daughter lost her father.the KARDASHIANS makes fools out of themselves.DO U GET THE POINT.GOOD LUCK.

  16. Wake up Guidices before you destroy your children. Joe if you are your girls hero and king then behave like it and stop doing every stupid thing that pops into that drunken head of yours. Teresa get your act together and behave like the mother that you want everyone to think that you are. Do you realize that the pain that you are inflicting on little Gia is all because you refuse to let go of some BS jealousy you have against Melissa and Joe. Put that crap to rest already. To use your own words,”You kidding me!”

  17. POOR EXCUSE FOR ITALIANS!!!

  18. if you do the crime, you do the time.

  19. but barb @ 318 . . . ” He insists,”I don’t belong in a place where those people are.”

    I think Joe Guidice has some serious ‘splaining to do. If Martha Stewart can do the time, then Joe is a pussy if he can’t. He IS “those people”

  20. Those of us who have bills will work 2 jobs if we have to. What makes you special? You make bankruptcy look like a joke, for some people it is life – they did not chose, but are forced to do. Many people have to do it for medical reasons. THEY NEED IT – YOU DON’T. You are just using the system -CLEARLY! I hope you have to pay back all those people before they have to file bankruptcy, because of you. From now on, think before you spend.

  21. Caroline, for real, tell them what they need to hear. You can do it. Now is your time to step it up, if you are a real friend, tell them like it is, don’t be nice, be real.

  22. TEAM MELISSA – YOU GO GIRL! LOVE YOUR HUBBY! NICE GUY AND A REAL MAN!

    I feel sorry for them, but especially the children.
    We have all made mistakes, but we shouldn’t judge anyone. Lets see what happens at the reunion show. I heard it gets really ugly..

  24. Teresa..I will not bash you..you clearly are in the middle of a very personal war between friends, family and the legal system. I wish you and your family all the best and my heart is broken over the discord between you and the Lurita/Manzo bunch. I felt you each brought something to the other that really complimented you all…I hope and pray all of this can be resolved and you can find support and friendship in each other again soon…you do have some people out there that care, myself included…xoxo

  25. I fel sorry for Teresa’s family. But this is your last wake up call: be more humble. Be nice with people. Your are not better than anybody and nobody is better than you. Just be nice, kind and less selfish. You have 4 daughters that really need you. The goodness come from inside and you reflects in your outside. God bless you!

  26. Theresa really does treat people badly, so does Joe. Melissa and Joe Gorga are very genuine and if my sister-in-law were Theresa it would be hard for me to be nice to her…so kudos to you Melissa for trying. By Theresa saying horrible things about Caroline’s children is flat wrong. And here all this time Caroline has been holding her tongue about Theresa, I bet Caroline wishes she hadn’t….Theresa needs to realize she is not more special than the next and she needs to be brought back down to earth. P.S. I love Jaqueline, I wish she was going to be on the reunion show.

  27. Joe Giuduce is a dic k rider. This is fuc king hilarious and I hope the whole family fails.

  28. Tina,
    Let me first touch on Teresa’s furniture purchase.Whether or not she, you or anyone else pays with cash or credit is no ones buisness.
    The scene in which Teresa takes out cash to pay for the 100.000 of furniture she had just selected in the 30second scene was to set the stage for the viewer’s that Teresa has that kind of money. Wehave come to know that Teresa doesnt have a pot to piss in! Yes their are many people who pay cash for their new purchases whether it be furniture, clothing, etc.Did you really believe that Teresa went into this store with 100,000 in cash ! of course not!! If you were making a purchase that expensive you would either use a check, a credit card of some kind and then pay it in full when the bill comes in.what you saw was Teresa throwing down bills.All to show how immature and wreckless she is with money.If you go to her bankruptcy you will find that the furniture purchased from that store was never paid and repoed!!would you really walk into a bank and ask to withdraw 100,000 in bills to go buy furniture? come on ! you would use a check or credit card.

  29. Misty, Amen!! I couldnt agree more with your comments!

  30. The only reason she would be using cash would be to hide the source of this income. Hope the IRS has been watching

    First of all, I think Teresa should be in a mental institution, locked up and far away from her children. She needs serous help. She needs to better herself for her kids.

    Second of all, Joe is going to jail because he could not meet Teresa’s insatiable greed for material goods. And she gets to play victim on magazine covers and make money by getting more air time on shows!! I hope she is doing it to bail her husband and to spoil him for a change! When Joe comes out, he should be a stay at home daddy (minus the alcohol) and get spoiled by Teresa and make her bring home the bacan, the diamonds and the ostentatious junk.

    In an ideal world, Mr. and Mrs. Gorga senior should take full custody of Joe and Teresa Giudice’s children and let the adults learn a lesson!

  32. Some of the comments on this board are plain stupid, some are plain rude and some are plain obnoxious. Riot you sound like a fugly piece of crap. And anyone who thinks it’s okay to pick on small children should have the crap kicked out of them!

  33. i feel for girls. teresa and joe need to stop being so mean and jealous of her brother and sis-in-law. how could some offer help when so arrogant to others they trying yo reach out to your family. when you face judge joe after he speak. your honor is possible to do house arrest. oh joe what do you mean those people in jail. they just human as you. there ones perfect in this world.

  34. It amazes me how Tre thinks her family should help her in anything. If she is not bashing them she is making money off of them (family recipes). Does her family benefit from her profits? Heck no. I also think Family Services should check into the welfare of the children. Tre doesnt care about her kids, she cares about TRE! At least gives the kids a chance! Even let Joe take them, Joe and Melissa show more care than Tre does!

  35. If Joe has done wrong then he needs to understand there are ramifications for his actions. When you surround yourself with negative energy, you can expect to get negativity back.

  36. So Joe doesn’t want to go to jail? He should have thought of that before fraudulently obtaining a driver’s license! Geez, these people!! And of course its alright to pay cash for things. What’s strange is to walk around with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and pay for things. I bought my car with cash and used a check. Drug dealers, mafioso and pimps use cash because they don’t have bank accounts because they don’t want the govt. to know how much money they have. Methinks Juicy Joe’s money was illegally obtained.

    Just finished watching the latest Reunion Show and Theresa is like a completely different person from Season 1. I actually do feel a bit sorry for her, as she has driven away everyone in her life with her awful behavour. But the day will come when she will need them, like when her husband goes to Jail. What I find astonishing is her complete lack of truth and acceptance of her circumstances. It is an insult to the viewers that she thinks we don’t know she is outright lying, because all the legal stuff is in black in white in the courts. She’s acting like a saint because she’s going to pay her $11m in debts instead of claiming Bankruptcy. However, the reason is because they both lied to the Trustee and held back assets, and were both going to be charged with a Federal Offence. That is why they backed off the Bankruptcy. We all know it, so just tell the truth, because you really look worse lying about it. I feel for those girls. Such beautiful girls. Theresa clearly brings Gia into her situation as a tool to get her brother, anyone can see that. And all she has accomplished is hurt her own daughter, who she is supposed to protect. I wish they would go off the show and take care of their business privately, but we all know that isn’t going to happen. Don’t know how next season will go as no one wants to talk to Theresa !

  38. Please! Theresa will divorce him in a heartbeat if he goes to jail. That woman won’t live without the illegal fortune coming in! All the other housewives hate her now and know how evil she is. Her patents are loaded with money, and she will trick them into leaving it all to her and leave her brother out of it. Can’t stand this woman! Live the way she dressed that ugly Gia up like a whore for her birthday…..disgusting.

  39. Talk about a thug – that is Joe I mean what a scum and treats his wife like a piece of meat and she takes it and those kids – what spoiled brats…he is definitely mobbed up

  40. This woman is a text book narcisuss. Not once does she mention the victims and I am sure there is more than his brother who I am sure knew about the license. But yet she has books out and making millions. She has her nerves as to what she would do if joe went to jail, do he same thing most women do when their dishonest husbands go to jail wait for them like idiots. In stead of worrying about what she’s is gonna do without a man she should start teaching those kids some manners. did anyone hear her say that she was so proud of her kids behavior and how proud she look while they acted like brats and disrespecting her and joe. I would pay a kids of mine no matter what age to hit me back, talk nasty to me or tell me no and laugh it up while everyone else is thinking, “what a fucken brat, wish they were mine I would slap the shit out of them” that is what people are really saying while smiling at them saying oh how cute….there is nothing cute about a bratty rich kid or kid period. She has to be insane to think those girls behave and respect them and sasha who are you to say this woman is evil? do you know her personally? NO YOU DO NOT

  41. What’s with the Tre? who the hell gave her that nick name it’s stupid it’s not even a nick name for her name idiots. Always giving someone a name like they are so fucken importand they need a nick name, TRE, stupid

  42. I LOVE YOU JACQUALINE, LOVE YOU CAROLINE, LOVE YOU MELISSA, ETC. SUCH PHONIES. YOU DON’T KNOW THESE WOMEN. YOU SURE LIKE TO THROW DOWN THE I LOVE YOU WORD AS IF IT’S FOR PEOPLE YOU DON’T KNOW PERSONALLY. YOU CAN LOVE THEIR SHOW, MUSIC, ACT BUT YOU DON’T LOVE THEM AND THEY DO NOT LOVE YOU AND YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP HELZ, SOUNDS LIKE A NAZI NAME, WHO ARE YOU FAT, UGLY AND FULL OF PIMPLES…IF I WAS RIOT I WOULD OF TOLD YOU TO KISS MY ASS MS. OR MR. NAZI PERFECT

  43. Martha Stewart “manned up.” Joe…not so much so. Yup, he’ll probably go to jail and Teresa will be left to take care of everything herself.

    It seems like Teresa is used to being taken care of, so I don’t know how she’ll fare on her own. I’m guessing she’ll be really mad about it and amp up her behavior on the show. I say “look out” if he goes to jail. I wouldn’t want to be in her line of fire.

  44. And on Teresa and her brother, Joe and sister-in-law, Melissa: She said and done some pretty mean things to them. She’s started rumors, caused problems, and then stood back to watch the fallout. It sure does look like she’s way jealous of them.

    Given everything she has already done and said, they would be smart to stay away. She’s just plain toxic.

  45. Nobody cares about Joe going to jail he should maybe he will drop a few lb. The whole nj cast hates you and why do you always tilt your nasty head to the side when you take a picture you look stupid and if your trying to hide your droopy neck it’s not working you look like a turkey with a wig on. I can’t believed you picked on Melissa’s hair line when you have a one inch forhead you look like a neadrathol. Do you know there is a website thread that reads Teresa Guidice has some damn ugly kids when I see those things my eyes burn stop photographing them all your kids have access to tje Internet don’t you care about what they read your the worst mother I have ever seen pay your bills bitch!!!

  46. Love Sashas comments she does need to teach those hidious children manners and yes Tresa is EVIL!!!

  47. Sadly Teresa’s brother will not be there for her, Melissa would not allow it. And Teresa found out exactly the type of loyal friend caroline is. jacqueline has no backbone unless she throws out a child she abondoned emotionally as soon as she had a son so of course she is not there either. I hope Dina is a true friend. Teresa does not need the people with no character like them inlcuding Joe, Melissa, Kahty and Rich. I hope her children know now what kind of uncle Joe Gorga is.

    He deserves to go to jail! The United States takes obtaining an ILLEGAL ID very seeriousally after 9/11. He obviousally knew he was breaking the law and to be 11 MILLION in debt is disgusting. These monsters need to be made an example of. She needs to go to jail as well for hiding assets and money. The children also need to be put down like dogs because they are being ruined by these money grubbing pigs!!!!
