This is the week that Teresa and Joe Giudice have been dreading. After several continuances, The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars will be sentenced for several financial crimes on Oct. 2. They plead guilty to various counts of fraud last March and have been living on borrowed time ever since. Joe is looking at a likely 4 years in prison and then the possibility of deportation back to Italy afterward. Teresa is looking at about 2 years of either prison or house arrest. Rumors have been swirling around these two like crazy, with the most recent being that she has gotten her ducks in a row and will file for divorce once Joe "goes away."
Earlier last week Teresa issued a statement saying that she can't say much of anything: "Wow. I really have so much to say. I will share, but I'm getting ready for the biggest day of our lives. I will be sharing when I can. But now is the time when I need to focus on the next ten days and not comment on the episodes. I love the show. I love my fans. I will be telling you all along with my Bravo family very soon,"
Some sources seem to think that she will be willing to dish all of the inside details once she has been sentenced and Teresa is the kind of woman who has in the past used her personal issues to get more publicity. In the name of business, some think that the best thing that she can do is distance herself from Joe and then try to rebuild her image as a single mom raising her four daughters alone.
Of course for now Teresa claims to be completely united with her husband, declaring them to be a team that will get through anything and everything together. The question is whether or not she really feels that way when the cameras aren't rolling. Do you think that Teresa is preparing to file for divorce from Joe once he is sentenced this week? Do you think that she will get jail time too? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
