Former Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Amber Marchese, Caroline Manzo, Kim DePaola and Siggy Flicker reacted the the news that Teresa Giudice’s husband Joe Giudice is set to be deported from the United States to his native Italy following prison release.
Amber Marchese: “Honestly, I unequivocally feel terrible for the girls. However, a bit conflicted. The law is the law, we can not break it,” she told Us Weekly. “At the same time, it feels extreme, especially knowing some politicians with egg on their faces, getting away with far worse. Double standard, if you ask me. Butttt.....lol how awesome that he is forced to live a beautiful, simple, peaceful life in Italy. His family can have dual citizenship, be well-rounded and culturally astute. That doesn't exactly suck, hell, I'll come visit him.”
Caroline Manzo: “So very sad to hear the news. Joe has been in this country since infancy. He’s made mistakes, took responsibility for those mistakes and served his time. He is not a violent person or a threat to society,” Caroline told Us Weekly. “He has four beautiful daughters that love their father and need him in their lives. He in turn has always been a loving and devoted father who treasured spending time with his girls. Very, very, sad situation.”
Kim DePaola: “I happen to like Joe a lot. He has treated me from day 1 with respect that I’ve earned,” she told the publication. She then ended her statement by throwing shade at Teresa: “Will she see Joe in Italy? No. Just like she didn’t see him in jail.”
Siggy Flicker: “I never thought in a million years that this was going to happen. I am so soggy right now, crying for those precious girls and that entire family,” Siggy told Us Weekly. “It’s just not right to take a father away from his family. I wish we could have done more than what we have done so far, which was let the judge know how important it was that Joe Giudice stay here with his entire family.”
As previously reported, Joe was ordered on Wednesday, October 10, to be deported from the United States to his native country Italy, according to Radar Online. “Based upon the law, I find you deportable and ineligible for any kind of relief,” Judge John Ellington said during a hearing, the website reported. “Mr. Giudice, no matter how this turns out, I wish you the best. I decided this case as a matter of law.”
Joe, who can file an appeal by November 9 appeared at the hearing via teleconference from his Allenwood, Penn. prison reacted to the judge's ruling. “I don’t understand how I can be deported on this case. If you will, I’ll tell you my side. I shouldn’t even be here right now. I have to go back and tell my kids this, and they’ve been waiting to hear from me.”
Meanwhile, a source reveals that Giudice plans to appeal the deportation ruling, according to Us Weekly. “Joe isn’t going to go down without a fight and is going to appeal the decision,” said the insider. “This isn’t over, not by a long shot.”
