Teresa Giudice recalled when her ex-husband Joe Giudice asked her, “Can I use your credit?” – and she shared why she “signed it.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey star also admitted to feeling that “a weight was lifted” when he left.
In 2015, Teresa went to prison after pleading guilty to fraud, after she and Joe reportedly made false statements on applications for a loan. Teresa has since shared that she signed papers for Joe without realizing what was happening.
On Nikki Exotika Show, Teresa addressed what ultimately led her to prison.
“[Joe] asked me … ‘Can I use your credit?’” she recalled. “You know, he had to refinance a home. And I just signed it because I never thought anything … [Recently] my oldest daughter said to me [that] she wanted me to let go of that. She’s like, ‘Let that go. It’s been over 10 years … Let it go.’ … Because it just still bothers me unfortunately … I came home [from prison, and] I lost my mom eight months later.”
The host commented, “You can’t get those moments back.”
Teresa agreed, “And that’s why … I knew it was over. Like as soon as I lost my mom, I was like, ‘I’m never getting back with this person again.’ And like I kind of was resentful. Like even when [Joe] left … I felt like a weight was lifted off of me.”
A few weeks ago, Teresa shared a potential update in her relationship with her brother Joe Gorga and his wife Melissa Gorga, amid their longstanding feud.
“My brother and my sister-in-law, I’m not speaking to, but I did reach out [to them],” Teresa shared at the time on the I Do, Part 2 podcast. “Because you know what, time does heal all wounds, and you know, when time goes by, you forget things”
She continued, “I want to be a good example for my children. I have four daughters, and … I always tell them, ‘I always want you guys to get along. Please always be there for each other … Be a family, be a beautiful family. If someone doesn’t get along, just be the bigger person, try to make it work.’”
