racked December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 What makes us think she's going to the Gorga's and not making the dinner at her own house? I'm not going to lie, I'm curious to see what she does next. Will she get her own spinoff show or just go back to the RHONJ? 1 Link to comment
phoenix780 December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 She'd be a fool not to make a play for a solo show. Her and the girls, the hardship of being a single mother because the stupid government got all up in your business, the emotional journey of rebuilding a brand and overcoming the obstacle of being a felon (unfairly because, again, stupid government)...that would sell, imho. And although I dislike her intensely, I think it'd probably be better than another season of the NJ housewives- that format is played out, and they're going to have a difficult time finding new cast members who would interact with her naturally instead of just getting together because they're on the same tv show. 2 Link to comment

pawsodoom December 21, 2015 Share December 21, 2015 I still can't wrap my brain around the fact Teresa is getting released this week. It feels like she just went in.

mwell345 December 22, 2015 Share December 22, 2015 (edited) What makes us think she's going to the Gorga's and not making the dinner at her own house? Radar On Line and some other sites are saying that Bravo cameras will be at the Gorga dinner. Bravo is reporting that Teresa will be at the Gorga dinner (wonder if she'll complain if Melissa serves store bought sprinkle cookies this time!) http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/teresa-giudice-prison-release-lawyer-reveals-she-will-spend-holidays-with-daughters Radar is reporting that she is leaving prison tomorrow and her lawyer is in CT now - she will not be going to a halfway house. "Leonard told Radar exclusively, “I’m currently in Danbury to take Teresa home to her husband and four daughters. Definitively, Teresa Guidice will be released from DCI Danbury tomorrow, December 23, 2015. “She is not in a halfway house, nor will she be reporting to one. She hasn’t been released from prison and that won’t happen until December 23.” According to Radar: "The timing of her release is still up in the air, but it’s expected to take place under the cover of darkness. No matter what, Giudice, 43, will be going to extremes to avoid being photographed on her big day, even using decoy cars in an attempt to confuse photographers." (There were rumors she might be leaving today.) http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2015/12/teresa-giudice-prison-release-lawyer-arrives-danbury-family-halfway-house/ "Meanwhile, Leonard also told Radar that pictures released today claiming to show Joe Giudice driving “aren’t him.”" Edited December 22, 2015 by mwell345 Link to comment
phoenix780 December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 Under cover of night...decoy cars. That reminds me of Days of Our Lives back in the, um, day, when Marlena and John tried to outwit Stefano with decoy planes- I believe their efforts failed. Also, good for her. All she has to sell is herself, really, and her children, and her first images after prison have to be carefully composed (yet casual and intimate). I wonder if they'll be released on social media to reconnect with fans, or sold to the highest bidder for the cash. 2 Link to comment

"She is thrilled that she is finally going home," a source close to the reality star tells PEOPLE exclusively. Following mandatory release paperwork and procedures, Giudice was released at 5:01 a.m., but was still at the prison as of 5:30 a.m., her lawyer James J. Leonard, Jr. tells PEOPLE.

merylinkid December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 Forbes is reporting that cameras were banned from filmng her actual release. Hmmmm, exclusive deal anyone? How can she go to the Gorgas if she is on house arrest? Work related? Honestly, the judge should have made it a condition of her probation -- no reality tv. Then maybe just maybe she will learned her lesson. Because you know she is going right back to do same things, and is going to lie, cheat and steal again. Because she "deserves it" after all the hard things she has gone through. 2 Link to comment

ZaldamoWilder December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 Since Teresa has paid her debt to society, should she be cut some slack...or should the smack talk about her crimes run full throttle? Paying her debt was the crux of the problem. I know what you meant, but I think leeway is much easier to grant a person who acknowledges and takes responsibility for whatever they've done and is sincere in their contrition. If I knew that the Guidices had voluntarily made a restitution agreement to the individual people affected by their fraud, one of their top priorities, I'd stop my shit talking that day. But, from watching the specials anyway, the impression I came away with was each of them still (chooses to) looks at this as some terrible thing that happened to them, they got caught up in a situation which they weren't sophisticated enough to understand when the only concept to grasp would be 3rd grade arithmetic. Write letters of apology to your victims (they would never have to be public); Or when you're lying on the floor praying for your family, include a plea for forgiveness for all the other families whose lives you may have changed with your actions. Ah, I'm speechifying girl, I don't mean to soapbox this morning and I'm not into hammering somebody for life, but I need for them to have learned something (as simple as humility) to deserve my empathy. 17 Link to comment

They should not be able to afford that car ... no way is BRAVO paying them enough, or will her book sales earn out for that and it looks like they never stopped living large or learned their lesson. That being said, I have a little warm spot in my heart for her today. She went to jail and now she's back with her kids (who cares about Joe?) in time for Christmas.

I signed in to like and quote this. I have zero empathy for her and don't even care that she's out with her kids because there are a lot of women in prison (maybe not getting to spend time exercising every day while anticipating a big pay out and more tv stardom when they get out) who are far more deserving of that family time than Teresa.\ She's a grifter who got an incredibly light sentence (even though it wasn't her first time lying and defrauding people). She's still living the life of (unearned) luxury and has expressed ZERO remorse for any of the people she's bilked. If she'd been honest and taken even a bit of responsibility or tried to make amends, it would be different. But no, she's just the same arrogant, delusional, selfish woman she's always been. And Bravo's facilitating her which is also gross. I'll read here (how could I not?) but I'll never watch any of her shows.

cereality December 24, 2015 Share December 24, 2015 (edited) They're just effing themselves and kidding themselves with that new Lexus SUV - no one else. They're trying to make it clear that their lifestyle has not been hindered in any way. Meanwhile, Joe just had to turn over a Maserati this summer bc they still had $400k in restitution payments and while Bravo fronted them $200k in return for a tell-all, they couldn't come up with the rest so the Maserati and shore house together probably covered about $200k. Then they were slapped by a lien on their house this fall from the IRS - they owe $500k in back taxes. Not to mention the $13 million in other debt that is still with them because their bankruptcy petition was denied. Not to mention their house has been in foreclosure more than once. Typically someone with those types of debts isn't running out to be a new luxury SUV. They're too stupid to understand it PLUS they feel like Bravo will pay their way for the rest of their lives. Don't get me wrong -- Bravo is going to pay their way for at least 3-5 more seasons, I'd say -- as Theresa can prattle on about everything she learned in prison and how it changed her for a season or 2; then a season or 2 re how hard it is to be a single parent with Joe away "at college;" and then dragged on for another season or two with some fabricated Gorga drama. But that really only takes them to 2020. What do they intend to do in 2025 or 2035?? Edited December 24, 2015 by cereality 14 Link to comment
