RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice Talks Life in Prison & More on E! News Tonight

The sleekly dressed crowd of more than 100 – some from as far as Philadelphia and Poughkeepsie – cheered as Giudice kissed photographers on the cheek and sat down to sign copies of her recently released memoir, “Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again“. Of course, Giudice is coming out of prison with little money in her pocket, so some reports were speculating how much she was getting paid for the interview.

There’s one small problem with Giudice’s plan to vote for Trump: She can’t legally vote in New Jesery. And despite putting everything on the live, Teresa did not bank $350,000 for her appearance. “The night before, I was up with Gia, we were wrapping all the gifts, so it was good to bond with her. I could tell she appreciates like everything that I’ve done for her”.

But Teresa did deliver during the interview. Page Six also learned that with this memoir, she abruptly hired, then fired, her first co-writer.

“I went to my first party the first week I was there”.

“The girls in my room were really protective of me, and they’re like, ‘Leave the girl alone, ‘” she said. “But, listen, you’re dealt cards and you just gotta, you know, make the best of it”.

Teresa and her family spent part of the holiday with Joe’s brother Joe Gorga and wife and fellow cast member Melissa Gorga. “I plead guilty to what I did, I got sentenced, I served 11 and-a-half months, I apologized to the judge, I did my time, and my restitution is paid”.

Near the end of the line, friends Keri Agnello, of Fort Lee, and Lisa Lauria, of Waldwick, said they love how “real” Giudice is. While it wasn’t the worst prison to stay at, it wasn’t the cleanest. There was urine stains, blood stains on the mattress.

Teresa and Joe Giudice took advantage of “alone time” while she was in jail.

After serving more than 11 months in federal prison and 44 days under house arrest, Teresa Giudice is now a free woman.
