Teresa Giudice might have spent one year behind bars, but she doesn’t consider herself to be a criminal. In fact, the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ star is even refusing to say the word, calling it the ‘c-word,’ leading to the speculation that she’s refusing to come clean about her legal woes.
In a new interview with Andy Cohen on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ Teresa made it clear that she wants to move on from her criminal past even though her husband Joe Giudice is currently serving his 41-month sentence behind bars.
The couple was charged with conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and bank fraud, while also making false statements on loan applications, in a 39-count indictment back in 2014.
Yet, Teresa apparently thinks it’s all ‘old news’ as she is desperately trying to bury her past while rebranding herself as a single mother who is trying to raise her four daughters until her husband is a free man again. Teresa told Andy Cohen why she won’t say she’s a criminal, “I don’t consider myself that. I don’t even want to say that word.”
Of course, Teresa Giudice might want the world to forget that she spent one year of her life behind bars for her crimes, but that of course won’t happen anytime soon. If that weren’t enough, Teresa also wants the public to forgive her, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
This is the same woman who not only flipped a table and called another co-star the real ‘c-word’ on television, but she also continued to live a lavish lifestyle full of luxury even while she was under investigation for fraud. Even though Teresa is putting most of the blame on her team of handlers, claiming that she had no idea what documents she was signing while she was committing her crimes, both fans and critics alike can agree: the reality television star has no perception of what reality really is.
Teresa Giudice along with her husband Joe Giudice were both convicted of their crimes, therefore are criminals. Teresa might not want to admit to it out loud, but it’s just as much of her history as it is her reality television legacy.
