Teresa breaks her silence after she and Joe Giudice, are charged with bankruptcy, fraud and tax crimes. "Today is a most difficult day for our family. I support Joe and, as a wonderful husband and father, I know he wants only the best for our lovely daughters and me," she begins.
The star continues, "I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career. As a result, I am hopeful that we will resolve this matter with the Government as quickly as possible."
They are due in court Tuesday, July 30. Lawyer Henry Klingeman says, "Teresa will plead not guilty. The judicial process that begins today with an indictment is a search for the truth. As it moves forward, we look forward to vindicating her."
Another star, Melissa and her husband Joe Gorga, who is Teresa's brother, were also in financial trouble for "portraying a life they that they really didn't live prior to the show." Last year, the couple was owing $2.25 million in mortgage. They took out the loan in 2007 to refinance their house.
Melissa opted to sell her properties to solve her problem. They put the house which they took out the mortgage loan for on the market, and sold their Montville Township mansion.
