Just a few days after insisting in open court that she could care less about fame or "fake" reality television, Teresa Giudice will sit down for an interview with Andy Cohen, which will air on Bravo this evening. In it, she reportedly admits to being shocked that she was actually sentenced to 15 months in prison, and even more stunning is the reality that Teresa will serve her sentence first, before her husband Joe Giudice begins his 41 months behind bars. That means that for more than a year the couple's four daughters will be raised by him alone, and it's a situation that has her worried.
In the interview, Teresa reportedly admits she is the active parent in the family and all but begs Joe not to drop the ball.
"My husband is a great father, a great husband, but I do everything with my daughters. I'm the one that's hands-on. All I've said to my husband was, 'Please take care of our daughters, that's all I ask. You've gotta do what I do.'"
What's sad is that last week Joe's attorney asked the judge to send him to rehab rather than prison because he has a serious drinking problem. If that's the case, it's kind of unlikely his own issues will improve under the stress of having to solo parent while Teresa is locked up.
There has been an awful lot of speculation on how this marriage will hold up under the current circumstances, and it's pretty hard to imagine Teresa not sitting in a cell for 15 months resenting her husband and his bad business practices, don't you think?
Will you be tuning in to Watch What Happens Live tonight on Bravo to see the full interview? How do you think Joe will do when he has to take care of the four girls alone and has no money to hire help? Will he be able to handle it or is Gia Giudice, the couple's oldest daughter, going to end up caring for her younger sisters more often than her father does? Comment below.
