Teresa Giudice is not scheduled to get out of prison until December, but she has reportedly been trying to bump that date up – by a lot.
Teresa Giudice was already rumored to be a candidate for early release from prison this December, a few months shy of her original end date.
But according to a Danbury prison insider, the star inquired about obtaining a temporary release to visit her ailing parents earlier this month.
She scuttled the plan, however, after being told she would need to provide documented proof of their poor health to even consider this.
Says the source, “Teresa asked her lawyer to try and get a weekend furlough that would allow her to leave the prison to visit her parents."
"Giacinto is in poor health, and Teresa just wants to spend time with them.”
“However, Teresa was told there would need to be documentation from her dad’s doctor outlining in detail his current health condition."
While he isn’t well, "Nothing has changed since she went to prison,” the source says, “and she was advised to not pursue the furlough.”
But was it all a ruse? According to the insider, Teresa told other inmates she wanted to “just go shopping with her mom at the local mall.”
Meanwhile, prison officials aren’t thrilled Teresa had her teen daughter, Gia Giudice Tweeted as Teresa in a message to her fans.
“Thank you for your outpouring of support and for standing by me through this most difficult time,” the post read. “Love love love you all!”
The reality star’s outside communications are supposed to be extremely restricted, but she Tweeted from prison a second time as well.
