Jacqueline Laurita Bankruptcy and Foreclosure As Serious As Teresa and Joe Giudice’s – Real Housewives of New Jersey Epidemic?

Jacqueline Laurita Bankruptcy and Foreclosure As Serious As Teresa and Joe Giudice's - Real Housewives of New Jersey Epidemic?

Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and her husband, Joe Giudice, were recently sentenced to prison for fraud, after taking out millions in bank loans that they had no collateral on and no means to pay back. You would think that after the Giudice Family’s shady financial dealings and prison sentences, their fellow RHONJ cast-members would take a hint. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Jacqueline Laurita and her husband, Chris, have landed themselves in a similarly sticky situation.

According to the December 1st edition of OK! Magazine, “Jacqueline Laurita and Chris Laurita are currently accused of misusing $8 Million in funds from their former company, Signature Apparel. Most recently Chris and Jacqueline’s attorneys tried to drop them citing nonpayment.” No wonder Jacqueline decided to return to Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey. She needed some quick cash to pay off their mounting legal fees!

This year the Lauritas have been dealing with a messy bankruptcy case and have been accused of defrauding creditors (sound familiar), not to mention the fact that their home was put in to foreclosure. Luckily for Jacqueline and her hubby, the media circus surrounding the Giudice Family has shifted the world’s focus from their own financial woes. Do you think that Jacqueline and her hubby are in as much trouble as the Giudice’s? Why do you think that the media hasn’t crucified them like they have Teresa and Joe? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
