RHONJ FANS It's finally GIUDICE SENTENCING DAY!

[Deleted]

I am so torn, I have been expecting Theresa to get house arrest for months, now I hear she may do time. I am dying to know yet I feel so badly for her family and the girls. I truly believe she didn't understand what she was getting into when she signed those papers. 

I was hoping Joe would get like 4 years and Theresa would get like a year house arrest, but they are saying Theresa is looking at 2 years.

[Booze Raccoon]

Holy shit!

[iammalcolmx]

Damn I hope they don't both get jail-time. Also any chance Joe will be in the same place they send Apollo?

ETA: What if Joe gets deported?

Also their bankrupcy was not discharged so now they have to payback the 13million somehow.... while in prison.

They are saying they will make him do his jail time and then deport him.

SHIT!!!!! Those poor kids of theirs.

I hope she does get house arrest. I have also heard that if they both get prison sentencing, they may try to get them to serve at different times. I didn't even know that was a possibility (and may not be) but I think I heard it on WWHL or something, I can't recall.

[pinkpinot]

Are there any links with live updates I can follow?!

I read an interesting article the other day about how it could shake down:

Jesse Jackson Jr and his wife are doing it. In one way it's good to be out with her girls for a few more years, in another way, what a horrible ticking time bomb above your head, everything is fine now, but you have to go to prison in X amount of months & it almost doubles the time away from your spouse.

Ugh. I want people to pay for their crimes, I really do, but those poor girls. And, I'm with you, I don't think she really understood what she was doing. For that matter, I'm not sure he did either.

[Eagles]

No sympathy. I don't buy that she had no idea. If she was so worried about her girls then maybe she should have paid more attention to what she was signing. There are a lot of people in jail who have kids.

They are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. 

[spindle92]

I guess I am in the minority.
If she was so concerned for her children she should have thought about them sooner...Like before she signed 8643325679 documents, drove her 15 cars, built her mansion, and so on and so on.

I agree she is no brain surgeon but I disagree in that she did not know what was going on.

I just basically typed the same thing.
Agree 100%.

They were hiding money from the IRS.  Remember at the beginning when she was shopping for furniture and she would go to his office and he handed her a fucking wad of hundies?  Did she think he had a cash tree out back?  Come on. 

[jlt19]

But what kind of moron would knowingly commit that type of fraud and then go on National TV and flaunt their riches? That's the ONLY reason they got caught. People at the IRS were all "hold up, she can pay $300k cash for furniture, we best be looking into this".

I don't know, I think that she just saw the signing of documents as how Joe " handled business" and had no idea where the funds were coming from. My Italian Grandparents were similar. He would just say " Ann we are getting a new mortgage on the house, you need to sign" and she did. 

I mean my Grandpa wasn't a crook, so they never had issues, she just let him " handle business".

Are you guys serious? You don't think they understood what they were doing? How complicated is it to not spend millions of dollars you don't have? This kind of greed and excess are so disgusting to me. They deserve to be in prison, and quite frankly, their children are probably better off being raised by someone else. Yeah, I said it.
I also saw a tabloid that claimed she was pg. Wouldn't that be the icing on the cake.

I thought the rumor was that she was actively TTC to try to avoid being sent to prison, hoping they would give her house arrest if she was pregnant at sentencing.

This is where I am. I feel terribly for the kids because this is an awful situation.  But seriously, they both are disgusting to me - and even now, with all the money issues, bankruptcy, etc., she was shown downsizing to a 8000 ft. home and in the last week they finally listed THREE homes they have - why was this not done previously? 

The first season she paid cash for all of her gaudy furniture - it was obvious something was not on the up and up.  People who try to scam the system and money piss me off.

[Eagles]

The IRS does not fuck around. They put Wesley Snipes in jail for that shit, so what makes the Giudices think they could get away with it?

What you don't have a money tree in your backyard?

What time is the sentencing? I will have to open TMZ on my laptop all day

Wow. This is evry bad. I assumed that it was all over since they were on the show still.



Those poor girls.

And there are probably quite a few couples in jail at the same time. I get kind of disgusted when I see prominent people given the option to stay their jail time while the other spouse in jail. I'm sure it happens once in a while, but I feel like it is a "perk" of famous. I am guessing your average drug convict doesn't get the same option.

[Eagles]

And honestly, what pisses me off even more is that after they declared bankruptcy, they hid money that was earned, like the proceeds from the sales of her cookbooks. They were trying to skate by and fuck all their creditors and the government. Too bad, so sad.

[Deleted]

Oh man. He is going to Jail. And then they will all move to Italy.

[readyin07]

I can feel sympathy and still think there should be a legal judgment. At least against him. I do think it was possible she didn't know what was going on. I still don't understand how they are still looking at $1mil plus houses in the show. I know they needed cash, but in the face of their legal troubles I sort of also don't understand continuing on with their show. It just looks bad to me.

I think this about ALL the reality stars. Think about Taylor Armstrong's husband on RH Beverly Hills. Do these people think on this day and age their dirty laundry is not going to be aired? It has to be some kind of huberis to think you are somehow exempt.

[karmasabiotch]

I wonder if Dina will take the kids.
