Perhaps I don't have a clear recollection of the Andy/Teresa conversation about the attorneys. My memory isn't what it used to be. In either case, her attorneys were fired and she hired a new one. I have no idea how she'll pay them but she has a new attorney now. However, I stand by my statement that writing to the Judge is a waste of time.

There's no such thing as a "former" felon. She is a convicted felon and will always be one....just like Teresa and Joe Giudice. That's something Teresa will have to come to accept about herself. It never goes away. I have no personal knowledge of Wendy Feldman and just looked into her today. A defense attorney will be by your side through sentencing. Period. Andy Cohen asked Teresa about her conversation with her attorneys after sentencing and she told them she didn't have one. They were done. Unless you retain them (again) to appeal your case, they have nothing to do with your imprisonment. Once a person is sentenced, they are the responsibility of the Board of Prisons (Federal) or the Department of Corrections (State) and not the Judge. I doubt there are any sitting judges who would change their rulings - that's what appeals are for. In Teresa's case, her plea agreement states that she cannot appeal. Alternative sentencing (like a half-way house or rehab) is usually something given to drug offenders after a period of time in prison to help them with re-entry into society so I have no idea why Teresa or her attorney thought she would qualify. Sometimes a first time drug offender will be sentenced to rehab instead of prison. ETA: The letters written to Judge Salas on Teresa's behalf were written by her new attorney. She fired the previous attorney. http://www.realitytea.com/2014/10/21/teresa-giudice-attempts-convince-judge-give-house-arrest-hires-new-attorney/

Shocking, I know but obviously Teresa thinks she deserves special treatment. I checked out Wendy Feldman's business online and one thing stood out........ "She teaches clients to GET REAL, GET OVER IT AND GET HOME so they can start earning back the trust they broke with their families and society." No wonder Teresa didn't always follow her advice and ultimately they parted ways.

I absolutely agree with you. Teresa is famous (infamous) for playing the blame game.

As I posted above, Wendy Feldman is a lot more than a PR person. But onto other things............ Apparently the prosecutors have fired off their own letter to the court opposing Teresa's request to go to a half-way house. https://tv.yahoo.com/news/real-housewives-teresa-giudice-prison-drama-crisis-manager-193200926.html

I thought I remember reading that Melissa and Joe Gorga rented that mansion just for show while filming RHONJ. I didn't know they owned it. Anyway, their tenant is gone and now they have it back along with whatever mortgage and tax payments as well as all the water leaks and disrepair. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/10/case-closed-cash-strapped-joe-and-melissa-gorga-left-to-pay-mansion-bills-after-their-tenant-moves-out/

These women are all pathetic famewhores. They all have children who one day will read about all of this.

I'm so glad someone finally brought that up. What a stupid thing to say! About Wendy Feldman............Since I knew nothing about her I googled her today and found out that she's a lot more than a PR person. http://custodialcoaching.com/ CBS "The Insider" calls Wendy Feldman "a real life Olivia Pope" Recently ABC News called Wendy Feldman "the best fixer around" Star of the E! series- Secret Societies of Hollywood as THE Alternative Sentencing Expert INCARCERVENTION™ Coming soon to televison 2015 If indeed she is anything like Olivia Pope, I can understand her "firing" Teresa. On Scandal I've heard Olivia Pope tell clients that she won't represent them if they don't follow her instructions to the letter.

If it's true that Bravo wants to film S7 before Teresa goes to "college" they'll have that money to use. It was $750,000 plus bonuses for S6. It won't take long for them to go through that though. Their lawyer fees alone have to be astronomical. While Teresa is in prison, I don't see Joe being able to support that house or his daughters.

I agree with you. I wonder what the mortgage payment is on that house. The real estate agent said the taxes alone were over $60,000.

I wonder just how many of those things the Guidice's actually own. The houses are mortgaged to the max and the cars are probably leased.

Good one! I forgot about Charlie Brown's teacher. LOL Now that you mentioned it, Nicole did look so much better in that scene. Unfortunately, this crew hasn't learned the "less is more" lesson and overdo everything. I know! Teresa has to be clueless to say it wasn't "like gossip."

I'm sure most of the Guidice's creditors won't get the all (or any) of the money that's owed to them and that's so wrong on many levels. I hope that this prevents them from being able to get credit in the future though.

There's speculation out there that Amber will be replaced by Danielle Staub next season. http://www.examiner.com/article/is-jacqueline-laurita-danielle-staub-replacing-amber-marchese-on-rhonj

Memory? Do I still have one? LOL Either I've lost mine or what these people say sounds more like blah...blah...blah most of the time. That's why I think it's best that I qualify my statements with an "I don't remember exactly........."

I could be wrong but I don't think she said anything about living within your means or in a huge house in that scene.

Nicole was talking about what she would tell her sons regarding Teresa and Joe. I don't remember exactly what she said so I can't quote her but it was about a person's actions having consequences.

I thought the same thing. Doesn't anyone on this show go to work?

I'm not a Teresa fan but I've never even heard the phrase "harboring a criminal." There are laws prohibiting "harboring a fugitive" but it's not illegal to hire someone with a criminal record. Did anyone else notice or think that Rosie seemed to be reading the prayer from her phone?

There was an article a while back saying that Joe wanted an additional $30,000 from Bravo to show up at the reunion. Considering it was on one of those entertainment tabloid-websites we can't take it as gospel but I thought it was worth posting. http://www.inquisitr.com/1519990/rhonj-reunion-teresa-giudice-cancels-appearance-tells-fans-to-stay-tuned/ "Her husband, Joe, who will head to prison for more than three years after Teresa serves her time, is not expected to be present at the reunion taping. Radar Online previously reported the Joe told Bravo that he wanted $30,000 to appear alongside Teresa, or he wouldn’t show up. But being fully aware that Bravo needs both he and Teresa to appear on the reunion, Joe is demanding that he get $30,000. If Bravo doesn’t want to pay him as much, he just won’t be there.” I noticed that about Rino too and thought it was classy (if one can use that word to describe any of these people).

I thought the same thing.......especially with the flowers surrounding her photo. That looked just like the display at a closed casket funeral.

OMG! Did he really do that? I switched over to watch The Good Wife and will catch Andy later.

Did they bring Jac back just so we can watch her cry in every episode?

OK...........I thought maybe you had seen something new. I agree. She is furious about Jac and very much like Teresa. She just comes off more "refined" than Teresa but they're both troublemakers. Now that Dina has moved to New York........how does she rate being a RHONJ?

Unless you've seen more than I did in the promo, when responding to Melissa, Dina never finished her sentence. She started saying "Melissa you wouldn't have come on this show.............." and that was it.
