Real housewives new jersey teresa jail time

Years before she married Luis "Louie" Ruelas or sent her daughters Gia Giudice or Gabriella Giudice to college, Teresa Giudice spent some time in prison.

Back in 2014, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member and her first husband, Joe Giudice, pled guilty to bank, mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud.

Both Teresa and Joe served out prison sentences, though the then-spouses were able to stagger them so one parent could always be present for their four daughters.
