Last week, Teresa Giudice was sentenced to 15 months in prison, but she won’t have to turn herself in to authorities until January 5.
Naturally, Teresa has a lot to get done between now and then – things like getting her finances in order, making sure her kids are cared for while she’s gone, and of course, setting fire to the few remaining bridges in her life that haven’t already been burned.
Yes, despite the fact that Bravo is pretty much the only business at which Teresa has any hope of getting a job after her release, the veteran Housewife seems intent on royally pissing off the network that made her famous.
Over the weekend, the ladies of The Real Housewives of New Jersey gathered to tape their annual reunion show, and naturally, Teresa was the main attraction. She was also more than three hours late.
Better yet, once she finally did show up, sources say Teresa all but refused to talk about the one topic on everyone’s minds:
“Teresa is absolutely still in denial and did her best to dodge all questions about the prison sentence,” said a source at the taping. “She would get very emotional and storm off set and come back a few minutes later.”
In addition to her prison sentence, Teresa reportedly refused to discuss rumors that she and Joe Giudice are headed for divorce.
Joe has been sentenced to 41 months in prison for the same crimes to which Teresa pled guilty, plus several additional counts of fraud.
He’ll begin serving his sentence after Teresa is released, as the court has allowed for staggered sentencing for the sake of the couple’s four children.
