The never ending legal drama for Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice continues.
Almost 2 years after filing bankruptcy to the tune of $11 million in debt, Teresa is facing the possibility that her bankruptcy filing could be overturned. Why? She is facing trial for bankruptcy fraud alongside her husband Joe Giudice.
If you recall, we reported last year that the Giudices were scheduled to go on trial July 14th. However the Giudices were able to get that date postponed last month. While New Jersey Judge Morris Stern refused to dismiss the trial, he did postpone it to October 13th… just in time for the filming of the RHONJ season 4.
The Giudices’ trustee John W. Sywilok is accusing them of concealing assets and hiding income on their bankruptcy filing. You can read all about that by clicking here. The goal of the trustee is to get the bankruptcy granted to them dismissed so that they will be responsible for all their debt. In addition to that, Teresa and Joe also have another trial scheduled for January 2012. It appears plaintiffs in that case are trying to get a judge to exclude a mortgage debt related to Joe’s dealings with his former business partner Joe Mastropole, excluded from their bankruptcy.
In other NJ news, Teresa’s sister-in-law Melissa Gorga spoke about their feud in a new interview. Melissa, 31, reveals she is willing to let bygones be bygones when it comes to her relationship, or lack thereof, with Tre. Melissa also insinuates that Teresa was only willing to make up with her because of the Bravo cameras.
“There’s definitely times where I hear her point,” Melissa told the L.A. Times “But it’s been frustrating for me because I’ve been asking her for years and years and years to fix it, to work it out with me. All of a sudden, within the last year, she was doing all the right things and saying the right things. But better now than never, I guess. I’ve been trying to get her to act this way for years. I guess I was confused: ‘Why now?’ But whatever. We’re family. I’m always willing to forgive.”
So how is their relationship today? “Right now, she’s my sister-in-law,” Melissa said. “We have kids the same age — we try, we try to work it out. And we try to be together for the family. It’s not like we’re best friends, but we’re family. I want my husband to have a relationship with his family.”
TELL US – THOUGHTS ON THE LATEST?
has anyone heard the rumors about Melissa having a lesbian relationship when she was younger? any truth to that?
Gingertee-The National Enquirer? Um ok. LOL
So apparently Kathy and Rich were hanging out with Jac last night. At least according to their twitters. Wonder how Treeape feel about that. That’s HER FRIEND remember?! LOL
@frankswif3sy….you’re welcome. I must say you have more restraint then I do! If someone were to have made a snide comment to me, I would have given it back 10 times, and I would have made sureto hit well below the belt! But that’s just me, it may be wrong and immature but I can’t help it.
Good morning Everyone
@anita V it’s all good
we can still practice
@ Frank I been to kathy’s Blog and all i read was bad comment’s.
@WOW-If they are it wouldn’t surprise me and honestly who cares. LOL. That’s her past. It’s not like when Danielle’s past came out which was way crazier. Besides, it has nothing to do with the current issue at hand which is this crazy family fued drama. LOL
anderson cooper weighs in on lumann’s new video…

whopps didnt realize gingertree had posted a link about that LOL
@156 only reason i mentioned it bc i believe the woman said melissa was wild etc a far cry from the image she tries to portray…but i guess its logical that she changed since marriage and kids change ppl..still dont trust her she seems sneaky and exaggerates every damn thing…
@WOW-It happens. This board moves super fast.
I’m actually starting to feel sorry for Melissa but she wanted fame…. it’s seems like she getting the uglier side vs all the perks….be careful what u wish for….
Hi Franks…
Yes, I saw that comment from Bravo Blog about Caroline and her lack of education for giving advice. LOL.
Also, check out twitter @giapoo…that’s Gia Giudice twitter and it looks really as she posted pictures. She also tweeted she was at Jacqueline’s house.
@ Lolag-According to Teresa, Gia’s twitter is fake. She said it on one of her blogs(on her personal website) a couple of weeks ago. Did you see what else the comment said? They also said they know Joe Gorga’s ex fiance and she didn’t get along with Teresa either.
@Lolag-
Submitted by CowboyPete on June 28, 2011..Caroline- very interesting take on the Teresa, brother, Mellissa situation. I actually agree with you. I know her brother’s ex-fiance Catherine Lovaglio and the engagement was broken off because of Teresa and her mother tried to control the situation and act like a couple of greenhorn goombas. It was not by accident and there is a pattern in her family.
It really amazes me how much stuff people make up on here like “I know someone that was just like him and he did this….so I know that is what they are doing.” Please I know you hate Teresa and Joe but stop. How do you know that Teresa did not get upset about a vase that got broken…were you there? No I don’t think so. As far as Melissa, her and her husband have a new story everytime you turn around about what the feud is about.
Wow! So it is true this hearing was postponed. That’s too bad. I was looking forward to the Judge’s decision on these 2 crooks. Maybe she’ll make a deal with Bravo allowing them to film the hearing for a fee. I’m sure the Giudice’s would probably agree since they have no shame and are so hard up for money!!!
Lots of us were, Joe F–but they’ll get their time (literally).
You can’t do what they do so outrageously on television and not expect to be made an example of.
They’ll make an example out of the Towaca Hillbillies.
@Barb-How do you know people are making anything up? Teresa and Joe are the ones who have proven their liars soooo calm down sweety. It’s not that serious. LOL
@Anita & Joe F-I hope so. They have no remorse and I hope the judge throws the book at them.
@franks–LOL. Go get ‘em!
those thieves belong in jail! The sooner the better.
@Delaney-Thank you!
@Anita-Hi girlfriend! Thanks!
Hi Franks…I heard about the fake twitter for Gia…but this one had pictures. Sounds like the Wakile kids like to dish / get spoilers on twitter. I have seen tweets between them and Ashley too.
Oh and now Melissa…stories are starting about her past. How timely as her music career takes off.
Education is a wonderful thing but you also need common sense which I believe Caroline has. Does she do wrong things, of course, we all do. She’s human, she allowed to f up too. Do I think that she is qualified to give life experience advise, sure if she stays within the confines of what she knows. One of the #1 best seller books last year was written by Steve Harvey, the comedian. It is called Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. Steve is a very famous comedian who is now doing motivational speaking and I am willing to bet he has no experience in “acting like a lady.” What he does have are several daughters and he is basing his advice on his experiences as a parent. People do this all the time, she is no different.
@lolag: good morning!
I don’t think it is a big deal that Melissa may have swam in the lady pond. My point is that fame comes with a price and now Melissa will find out just how expensive it can be.
yeah who gives a rats nut if she’s gay ….
she seems to get sick everytime joerapist goes near her …
ugh…he’s so disgustin’…
@42 Chell Bell I agree w/you regarding Teresa’s and Joe’s lack of remorse. I have stopped watching this RH franchise b/c I will not reward Joe and Teresa’s blatant display of selfishness, greed and perceived sense of entitlement. But, I’ve read the recaps and apparently Joe is not even worried about Teresa’s spending, past, present or future. As for the banks continuing to allow mortgages, if Teresa and Joe were fraudulent in their bankruptcy filing, don’t you think they’d be also fraudulent when applying for additional mortgages? Of course they would! Let’s not forget Joe had no trouble at all fraudulently obtaining a NJ driver’s license by using his brother’s birth certificate. These two are criminals who do not hesitate to be deceptive in any area whatsoever. As one of the other posters noted, not a single word that is spoken by these two can be believed.
Which leads me to @44 Cassie-Teresa and Joe have built themselves up so much in their minds as total A list celebrities that I think they truly believe they can get away with hiding Teresa’s on line business, presenting false tax returns, failing to report the advance Terese received from the publishing company, as well as failing to report the other income and hiding assets in bank accounts, not to mention the endless list of other infractions.
The falsification of tax returns charge really caught my eye. Not only would this be a problem with the bankruptcy court, but there is a very real possibility Teresa and Joe are looking at charges from the Department of Treasury. It doesn’t matter if the tax returns at issue were not filed with the IRS itself. It is a felony for anyone to submit an income tax return to any government agency which is fraudulent or is false as to any material matter. At the very least, the falsified tax returns will spark the interest of the IRS auditors. You can bet the IRS will be examining all of the Guiduce’s returns very, very carefully.
Joe is still facing charges over the fraudulent driver’s license issue. They both are facing charges for the bankruptcy fraud, and possible felony charges from other government entities such as the IRS. These charges were levied prior to filming the episodes being currently broadcast. Accordingly, you would think that you would see Teresa and Joe discussing who would be guardians of their children while the two of them are serving time and meeting with financial counselors and other professionals to help minimize the damage already done–not riding around on quads, shooting off guns (what do you bet those possessions weren’t declared on the bankruptcy papers?) and broadcasting their sex lives, right down to the type of sexual playthings used, for the whole world–and potential judges and jurors–to see.
i also didn’t make it thru the last episode …
the editing , the vulgarity not enjoyable at ALL t5o me …
like i give a fug about these neanderthals procreation habits …
i thought caroline had a right to be pissed ..
outrageous to be shootin’ off gunswhile drinkin’ …
are they nuts ?
ok , maybe they were blanks ? hope so …
sorry ’bout my typin’..
had a few ‘la trappe ‘ quad’ ..
heeheehee
@76-I completely agree. Joe and his grotesque poison that needs to come out-bleh I think Melissa did marry Joe for his money. She gave him kids etc and she gets her nice shoes, house, life. The thing is now that she is getting a career going, I bet she won’t be making Joe his Italian dinners, be taking care of the kids like she did and he is going to get upset with her priority. She is going to blow him off more and more because fame is what she really coveted, and she loves herself most of all.
Interesting…
According to poster over at tvwithoutpity

Hello BondGirl, Anita Vacation, frankswif3y, lou, anne_ooo, Wa Wa Wa WHAT! and everyone! Trying to catch up. Have to go to my daughter’s swim meet (GO Seahorses!), but had to post…lol.
It’s no secret here how I feel about Teresa & Joe. LOL. I feel like they are liars and crooks. Not enough time to go into detail, but they make me sick by their actions. I really do feel sorry for their daughters.
@129 Reality Fan…Hello. I agree totally about Teresa & Joe. I also agree about Melissa & Joe. Teresa & Joe have lied to everyone. Even to themselves because they are so delusional.
Happy July 4th to all.
Hello lolag and Inthepink!
Hi Iris! Happy 4th to you as well!
@130 If Bravo posted 100% positive comments about Melissa, I still would not like her. When she made those comments about her mother-in-law, that was the last straw for me. You don’t bash your husband’s mother on national TV. It’s bad enougbh how she bashes his sister.
Susan…I agree…Mama Gorga is no fool. She onto to her daughter-in-law and niece’s game. She clearly told Kathy how she felt…at the Brownstone. Good for her…she deserved it.
Like it’s been noted…Melissa and Kathy have only made Teresa more famous with overwhelming sympathy for Teresa.
Melissa kept saying that we the audience would grow to love her. Wonder what made her so sure of herself cause with each episode I dislike more and more. JMO.
I can’t believe they got the hearing postponed again! They need to face the consequences of what they did and be punished for it. There are so many levels to their fraud and I know they can’t talk themselves out of it or else they would want to go to court asap to redeem themselves. I think Joe will go to jail and Teresa will get probation but worst of all they will be liable for their own debts. In Teresa’s own words, ” I DIDN’T OVERSPEND.” They should play that in court since Teresa claims she can pay for everything she buys.
i read somewhere that there mortgage is around $13,000 a month & that since the BK Teresa is now paying all the bills. I for one will not buy anything those crooks are selling. They don’t deserve a “fresh start”!!!!
Hello Iris-muah!
@177 Tigdi
Your correct, they are in big trouble. I think the judge is not going to allow them to have this bankruptcy since the buy who is overseeing it was appointed by the court and says there is fraud. Then there is the issue with the IRS, they are in serious trouble with them. Because for one, the IRS is waiting and seeing what happens in this court issue. In fact I wouldn’t at all be surprised if the IRS doesn’t look into the finances of Teresa’s parents, Joes parents and other relatives that are associated with them. The one thing that gets people talking is the danger that the federal govt. might come snooping around their business dealings.
That might be the reason why Caroline (big time) and Jacquiline is always taking digs at them every episode. It’s because the Manzo’s and the Jacquiline’s husband may be playing fast and loose in their business dealings with the Brownstone and his bankruptcy with the clothes lines he owned. If you don’t believe me, remember that fire that happened in the Brownstone a close to a month ago. It took the firefighters 2 hours to get it under control and it started in the ventalation system coming from the kitchen. Remember this happened when they started filming the next season of New Jersey this month.
They know that the IRS and possibly FBI might be looking around at everybody, and dumb Teresa us bringing heat to the whole area with her antics. The IRS and the FBI aren’t dumb, they know how they work in New Jersey and they will find out the whole story.
I’m not saying they should go to jail … but they should be responsible for ALL their debt. Start shopping at Walmart like the rest of us who are out of work in this crap economy. Sorry can’t stand Teresa Giudice
guess teresa missed the donalds bankruptcy classes not for or against this show just sad how people want to live a lifestyle they cant possibly afford n bravo promotes
Joe guidice cheating with davana.
Haha tre is so screwed by joe
Your such a loser and you don’t see that Bravo keeps you on the show to make you look lie a fool, you are not an actress and people with real money would not even let you deliver newspaper never mind come into thier homes loser
You can hang out with KATE plus 8 and her family while your husband is doing time becasuse you thought you had money, even on the today show you did not correctly answer a question trutfully and you got caught, you are so delusional you don’t know the truth anymore and your going to let you family to be so ashame of themselves. You still can’t see this and they are putting you on THE APPRENTICE TO REALLY MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOUR SELF AGIN, And by the way Daneil was right your house was in foreclosur loserrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
@OJ…I agree with you. How in the Hell did Danielle know their house was in foreclosure before she did. Joe didn’t utter a word when Teresa told him what Danielle said. Hell I was suspicious of his lack of response before I even knew there was any truth to what Danielle said.
I wonder if that was pillow talk between Danielle and Joe…hmmmm! Joe did go have a drink and a hug with Danielle after the whole table flip by that rabid animal.
By the way, what the hell is a “prostitution whore?” She has no clue that the word “prostitution” is not exactly a noun. Oh but we are talking about someone who puts an eses on plural words and mispronounce words she cannot spell!
