Joe Giudice FINALLY Gets Some Good News: Did He Dodge Deportation?

For the about the past five years, it’s been nothing but bad news for the Giudice family of Real Housewives of New Jersey fame. From the moment that Teresa and Joe Giudice were found guilty of tax fraud, they knew they were in for quite a bit of pain and torment in the years to come. But the reality of their current situation likely exceeds even the worst-case scenario that the Giudices could have conjured in their imaginations. Though he’s completed his prison sentence, Joe Giudice is now facing deportation to his native Italy. While he was born in the Italian village of Serrano, Joe’s family relocated to Paterson, New Jersey when he was less than a year old. He claims to have no knowledge of his home country, and Teresa has made it clear that she will not be moving to Italy if Joe is deported. And so, nothing less than Joe’s family life and his ability to earn a living are at stake. While there was a time when it looked as though Giudice would be able to throw himself upon the mercy of the court, these days, his options are disappearing rapidly. Giudice’s first appeal was rejected, and while he’s still in the United States, it seems increasingly likely that Joe will be making an unwelcome trip across the Atlantic very soon. His teenage daughter Gia even appealed to President Trump to intervene on her father’s behalf, but the request fell on deaf ears. Now, Giudice’s lawyers are pulling out all the stops in a last-ditch effort to keep Juicy Joe stateside. According to Radar Online, the top-dollar legal team pulled off a minor victory this week by receiving an extension for Joe’s final appeal, thus delaying his deportation. Joe was originally slated to submit his appeal on July 15, but now has until July 18 to prepare his final argument. That may not sound like much of a win, but those few days could turn out to be significant, as Giudice recently attracted the support of The Immigrant Rights Clinic of Washington Square Legal Services (IRC). According to a statement issued by the IRC, the “amici curiae are demanding that they appear before the Third Circuit Court judge” in order to argue Giudice should be permitted to remain in the US. It may only be a glimmer of hope, but it’s better news than the Giudiceds have had in a long time.  And we’re sure Joe is hoping this is his opportunity to turn his dire situation around. While the man is far from innocent, we wish him all the luck in the world as he battles against this cruel and unusual punishment.

Joe Giudice FINALLY Gets Some Good News: Did He Dodge Deportation?

Teresa Giudice & Kids Pay First & FINAL Visit to Joe Giudice Before Deportation!

Ever since his release from prison back in March,  Joe Giudice has been held in an ICE detention center awaiting deportation to Italy. Last month, Giudice’s appeal was denied , which means his chances of being permitted to remain in America are growing slimmer by the day. But on the bright side, at least his family finally decided to pay him a visit! Yes, it was Joe’s 47th birthday on Wednesday, and his wife and kids marked the occasion by paying him a visit in the clink. The whole fam reportedly made the trip, and Joe’s 18-year-old daughter Gia posted a tribute to her beloved father on Instagram: “Happy birthday to the guy who teaches me everyday to keep going and never stop fighting! you inspire me everyday,” she wrote. “Love you so much keep smiling see you soon.” Yes, clearly, Gia is optimistic about her father’s chances of fighting this thing. But Joe’s odds of returning home to Jersey are less than stellar. The family did get some good news this week, when they learned that Joe’s deportation has been delayed in order to allow for additional appeals. But legal experts who have been studying the case say Teresa’s husband is still considered a long shot. The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star was born in Italy, and while he’s lived in the US since childhood, he never bothered to apply for citizenship. In fairness, Joe probably would have been fine if he had never been convicted of tax fraud. If he were to remain in the US now, he would be doing so at the government’s pleasure — and it’s not a great time to be an illegal immigrant. Not surprisingly, Teresa has taken some flak for waiting so long to bring her kids to visit Joe. But apparently, she had her reasons. “It is a difficult place to visit, from the overall cleanliness to the actual application for a visit to happen. Plus, it is just so far away,” a source tells Us Weekly . And it’s not like Joe’s family hasn’t been doing everything in their power to help with his case. Teresa begged the judge in Joe’s case to delay his deportation, and it appears her efforts had an impact. As for Gia, she’s been circulating a petition and appealing to Donald Trump to let Joe stay in the US. The Donald isn’t exactly known for his compassion, of course. But hey, anything goes at this point, and we’re sure Joe appreciates his family’s efforts as the zero hour approaches. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!

Joe Giudice Deportation Appeal: Denied!

It is officially time to say ciao to Joe Giudice. The disgraced former Real Housewives of New Jersey star was informed this month that his deportation appeal was denied, paving the way for Giudice to be sent back to his native Italy. It has taken several days for the news to leak online, but this is what source close to the situation just told E! News: “The Board of Immigration Appeals ruled against Joe in an April 6 decision.” This same insider explains that Joe had to learn about the board’s decision by mail because the process is “done entirely by mail.” Giudice, of course, pleaded guilty to his role in a bankruptcy scheme back in 2016. He was then sentenced to serve 44 months in jail, but was able to postpone this stint under after his guilty wife completed her time behind bars. Then, last fall, a judge determined that Giudice would be deported because he broke federal law as a non-U.S. citizen. The father of four’s legal team filed an appeal, which is what a court just shot down. However, on Wednesday, this same legal team filed a petition for the federal court to review of the appeals decisions. This really is the final chance for Joe to avoid deportation — and it appears to be a long shot. “We are extremely disappointed that the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mr. Giudice’s appeal,” the family’s attorney James J. Leonard Jr. says. “We have filed a stay with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and will continue to fight to keep Mr. Giudice in the United States, the only country he knows, and reunite him with his wife and four daughters.” It’s true that Joe has four daughters and we legitimately feel terrible for them that their dad is about to be forced out of the country. On the other hand, perhaps they will be better off with just one criminal raising them at home, as opposed to two. As for Teresa? She will follow her dear husband wherever she goes and is committed to the man she loves and the life they have built together. Just kidding. She’s already said the marriage is over once Joe is outta here. Appearing opposite Andy Cohen last month when the topic was broached, Teresa sounded very casual and cool with the impending divorce, “It’s like starting a whole new life,” she said of moving to Italy with Joe, adding: “And [her daughters have] been through so much already. So, I mean, I’m not doing a long-distance relationship. I’m just not doing it. I want somebody with me every day. “I know exactly what happens, I’m sure he’ll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing? It’s not going to work. I’ll be like, ‘bye bye.'” View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: The Wedding Ring is Off! Heck, there’s been chatter that Teresa is already dating someone new and planning her very own Bravo spinoff. Shocking, right? By which we mean… not shocking at all.

Teresa Giudice: I Am NOT Discussing My Cheating Scandal!

What happens in Miami stays in Miami.  At least that’s what Teresa Giudice is telling herself when it comes to her recent cheating scandal .  Radar Online broke the news of Teresa’s Miami hookup with Blake Schreck back in February, exposing shocking photos of the couple holding hands and him sneaking out of her rented condo.  All while husband Joe Giudice sat in prison.  The photos were released after the RHONJ reunion taped and according to a close insider, while cameras are starting to roll on the new season the cheating scandal has yet to be brought up.  The reality star is keeping her lips tight when it comes to her infidelity reports with her much younger boy toy. “It is like it never happened,” an insider told Radar about Teresa’s strict instruction that her castmates not talk about Blake, who is 20 years her junior.  And to all of our surprise, no one on the show has made a big scene about Teresa cheating on her poor, detained husband.  Joe, 46, is currently in a Pennsylvania ICE detention center awaiting his deportation back to his native Italy, and he is now one step closer, as  his appeal against the ruling was denied earlier this month.  “We are extremely disappointed that the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mr. Giudice’s appeal,” family attorney James J. Leonard told People .  “We have filed a stay with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and will continue to fight to keep Mr. Giudice in the United States, the only country he knows, and reunite him with his wife and four daughters.”  With Joe’s future up in the air and Teresa’s cheating scandal being brushed under the rug — we have no idea what’s to come for this couple. However, we do know it’s not going to be pretty . “No one has ever seen anything like it,” the source admitted to Radar about how silent Teresa is staying regarding her affair.  “After the reunion, the story was just dead.”  Teresa’s secret fling with Blake happened while Joe was still behind bars in a federal prison serving his 42-month sentence for tax fraud.  His brother Pete Giudice told Radar that he wasn’t supporting Teresa in the cheating scandal.  “That’s his thing. Let him figure it out,” Peter said about the photos of his brother’s wife of 20 years with Blake, a local to New Jersey that lives just nine miles away from her home.  The show insider said that this silence and secrecy comes as a total shock to fans as it is a complete contrast to other scandals that have been covered on RHONJ over the years.  But Teresa can’t run away from her problems forever — at least not until her husband is far away in Italy.  View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!

The Real Housewives Of New Jersey Season 9 Reunion Sneak Peek Is Here!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season nine reunion trailer is here – and we are so ready for the action!  The secrets, finger-pointing, tears, and vicious attacks are all in the first look at what’s to come.  In the trailer, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, Jennifer Alydin and Jacki Goldschneider all go at it, holding nothing back while evaluating last season’s drama. “You f-king coldhearted bitch,” Teresa screams at (probably) sister-in-law Melissa. But the main conflict appears to be among Teresa, Jackie, Margaret, and Jennifer, according to E! .  RHONJ Season 9 Reunion Trailer More extreme yet totally impressive attacks get made throughout the sneak peek.  “I lose brain cells talking to you,” Jackie tells Teresa.  It’s ok if you laughed out loud, that is priceless.   And at one point, Teresa calls Jackie a “white trash bitch,” and Jackie fights back with, “You’re not going to win a war of words with me.” “Really, bitch? You want to make a bet?” Teresa says.  Jackie agrees to the bet. But come on, ours is totally on Teresa. She craves blood.  Teresa then makes a move that looks as though things are about to get physical. And by the look of everyone’s faces, it probably does. Things start getting emotional as host Andy Cohen begins asking the hard questions about her future with husband Joe Giudice, and his possible deportation.   “What you’re saying is that you will go your separate ways,” Cohen asks Teresa… who begins to break down in front of the camera.  E! has learned that Teresa did, in fact, admit that she and Joe would go their separate ways  should he be deported to Italy.  But during a previous reunion, Teresa did say she would consider moving overseas. “I mean, Italy is a beautiful place to live.” And I’m sure a lot of the RHONJ castmates wouldn’t mind that. Just make sure to get a visa, girl!  Things take a comic turn, probably for the better, as the husbands are invited to join the conversation.  And at one weird point, Joe Gorga even asks his sister if she is using a vibrator?! Part one of the reunion airs on Wednesday, February 20 and features Margaret and Jennifer’s argument over words.  Then, Jackie gets a turn in the hot seat while Teresa has some fun questioning her intentions and telling her she will never forgive her for what she said about her husband earlier in the season. Which caused her to completely lose her mind and flip a table. Good stuff.  Part two follows on Wednesday, February 27 and the fighting obviously continues. Teresa ultimately opens up about Joe’s likely deportation . Leading to the final third part which airs Wednesday, March 6 where Joe, Danielle and Margaret rehash their overplayed feud.  We are now prepared and so ready to watch all the mayhem unfold.

More from Andy Cohen’s big Bravo baby shower on the flip.

Joe Giudice Deportation: Delayed Due to Government Shutdown?

While concerned fans wonder if Teresa Giudice has already filed for divorce , others hold out hope. Could this massive government shutdown buy him a little more time with his family? An immigration official has weighed in on this complicated situation. Take a look: The government shutdown has dragged on for over a month. It is a nightmare and, ultimately, one man in responsible for it. There are very few silver linings to hundreds of thousands of families having their incomes halved — or worse. But some had wondered if part of the backlog might mean a delay on Joe Giudice’s looming deportation. RadarOnline   reports that they spoke to an immigration official, who was the bearer of bad news on this front. Unfortunately, because Joe is a detainee, his appeals process will very likely proceeda s normal. A decision about his deportation status is expected to be made at some time prior to his release. Joe is scheduled for release from prison on March 14. That is in about a month and a half. No one questions whether a guilty party should serve time in prison. But many are horrified that Joe’s release date will take him farther from his family, rather than bring him home. The unnamed immigration official explained why not even the government shutdown is delaying Joe’s deportation. “In most cases,” the offical shares. “Appeal decisions have been delayed.” The official acknowledges: “and everything is on freeze until the government shutdown is over.” “However, in cases of detainees,” the official notes. “Things are still processing as normal because they are priority.” Our understanding of that statement is that current detainees are a priority because the process has already begun. Additionally, their deportation — or not, as the case may be — would relieve a burden on the system rather than add to it. This means that, before Joe is even released from prison in less than 50 days, his appeal will have been decided. Where does this leave him with his wife, Teresa? “She is talking about divorce, absolutely,” an insider tells RadarOnline . “There is no way Teresa is going to uproot her life,” the source explains. That is difficult but very understandable. “He did this,” the insider reasons. “Why should she suffer?” Joe was born in Italy, but his parents brought him to the United States when he was an infant. He has lived his entire life in the United States. It is the only home that he has ever known. Italy, to him, is his parents’ homeland, but not his. Additionally, his family is not emotionally prepared to see him deported to Italy. Though they have had months since the October 10 ruling that he would be deported, they are still struggling to accept this terrible reality. Joe and Teresa’s daughters in particular are desperate for hope that their father can avoid deportation. It is only natural for Teresa to plan to remain in the United States with her four children, no matter what. You don’t uproot the lives of four children on a whim. Despite Teresa’s reputation, there is nothing callous or easy for her about that choice. There is always a sliver of hope that Joe might somehow win his appeal. But … that is looking less and less likely as March 14 looms closer. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!

Teresa Giudice: Has She Already Filed For Divorce From Joe Giudice?

From the moment Joe Giudice began serving his four-year prison sentence on tax fraud charges, it was rumored that he might not be permitted to continue living in America after being released. The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star was born in Italy and never became an American citizen. As such, from the moment he pled guilty to a felony Joe became a candidate for deportation . In October of 2018, the judge in Joe’s case ruled that Giudice would be ordered to return to Italy following his release from prison. With the question of Joe’s fate decided, a new one emerged: Would Teresa Giudice follow her husband to Italy , thus leaving behind the life and career she worked so hard to build in America? Well, according to a new report from Radar Online, Joe might want to start working on his Italian Tinder profile. “She is talking about divorce, absolutely,” a source close to the situation tells Radar later that day. “There is no way Teresa is going to uproot her life. He did this, why should she suffer?” the insider continues. “Teresa won’t be moving to Italy with Joe, period. In no uncertain terms would she even consider uprooting her life with the girls and moving.” To be fair, Teresa was also convicted of tax fraud , but her sentence was much lighter than Joe’s. The couple received permission to serve their sentences successively for the sake of their four daughters. And Teresa reportedly believes it was all for naught if they force the girls to relocate to another country where they don’t even speak the language. Two of the Giudice daughters are attempting to start music careers , and Teresa is realistic enough about her level of fame to know that she doesn’t possess enough clout to help them achieve their dreams overseas. But despite rumors to the contrary, it seems Teresa has not yet filed for divorce from Joe. Instead, she’ll be waiting until Joe is released to begin the proceedings. We guess that’s the least she can for the guy after nearly 20 years of marriage. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Jackie Goldschneider Makes ANOTHER Enemy

Is Jackie Goldschneider on a mission to become the most-hated housewife?  Wednesday’s episode put the new housewife on the outs with Jennifer Aydin, and while the latter has proven to be self-absorbed and overbearing, we have to side with her.  Jackie wrote an article about parenting in a local newspaper, apparently trying to capitalize on the fame of being part of the cast of one of Bravo’s most popular series.  However, the article appeared to be a dig at the way Jennifer raises her own kids.  The action kicked into high gear at Joe and Melissa Gorga’s son’s first communion. Yeah, because there’s always an event to stir the pot on these shows.  Jackie immediately approached Jennifer at the event upon walking in and started talking about her beef with Teresa Giudice.  “So when we walked in, I felt bad because I’m in such a weird place with Teresa,” Jackie said, acting as though there was no article. “I feel like it’s just awkward. I said something to her that she took offense to that I did not mean to be offensive. I’m also not gonna go grovel and be like, ‘I f–ked up. I’m sorry.'” Jennifer was not about to let Jackie gloss over the article, so she changed the subject without taking a breather.  “Do you feel that certain things should be off limits, like husbands and children? Would you agree with that?” Jennifer asked Jackie who seemingly agreed.  “Then why would you write an article that references to my kids being spoiled?” Jennifer asked a stunned Jackie. “Did I say anything untrue?” Jackie responded. “I felt there was a lot of judgment there,” Jennifer complained. “I didn’t write your name, I didn’t say one negative thing about your children, I didn’t even say anything negative about you,” Jackie replied. Jennifer admitted to the cameras that she was “pissed” and “not backing down’ and eager to ‘rip [Jackie] a new one.” Jennifer went on to say the following: “You are not like, ‘Oh, I couldn’t help but wonder, could I write this article without seeming like a pompous, judgmental a**hole?'” SHOTS FIRED.  Jackie realized that her friendships were fast falling apart, and set out to salvage her relationship with Teresa and asked if they could meet at another time and chat about things.  “She’s f–king delusional!” Teresa screamed at the cameras, adding: “If Jackie thinks that this is gonna be a nice sit-down, she’s got another thing coming.” Jackie should probably be scared. Teresa’s family is off-limits, and this feud is going to get crazier as the weeks go by.  What are your thoughts on all the fighting?
