“How is it that a family doesn’t pay their taxes for years?” one of the reporters asked. “Is that what the fraud charges were?”
“Um, who’s — what family are you talking about?” the Bravo star asked, to which he replied, “Your family.”
“OK,” Giudice said before attempting to end the video stream. “Let’s just hang up. That’s it,” she said.
Text reading “Teresa’s iPhone” could then be seen on the screen as the call ended.
“She didn’t like that question,” marveled the anchor. “Yeah. Well,” responded his co-anchor in the awkward clip.
Giudice owes $303,889.20 in tax liens, according to documents obtained by Page Six back in March. Her husband, Louis “Luis” Ruelas, whom she married in 2022, owes upwards of $2.6 million.
The “Dancing With the Stars” alum was married to Joe Giudice for twenty years before their 2020 split. And prior to that, both served time in prison for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud.
Teresa was behind bars for 11 months in 2015. Joe, meanwhile, spent two years in prison before being released in 2019 and subsequently deported to his birthplace of Italy.
The former couple shares daughters Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana.
Teresa’s lookalike daughter Gia, 24, downplayed the family debt during a March episode of her “Casual Chaos” iHeart podcast.
“Let’s start from the beginning,” she said.
“My mom has been the sole provider for my sisters and I since the minute my father [Joe] left for prison. The second my mom got home from jail, she has been working her ass off to make sure that my sisters and I live a stable life and that my family is financially stable.”
Gia continued, saying she “can’t stress enough” how hard her “mom has worked” and assured her listeners that “everything will be resolved.”
“My mom has everything under control, and there’s nothing to worry about,” she explained.
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
