Teresa Giudice Reveals She Spent Over $1 Million Paying Husband Joe Giudice’s Legal Fees And Back Taxes!

Teresa Giudice got candid about her relationship with husband Joe Giudice during Part 3 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The mother-of-four talked about her separation from Joe and the status of their divorce proceeding, which some of her co-stars chimed in to share their thoughts, especially Teresa's brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Melissa Gorga.

“I’ve been talking to her and pushing her, like, ‘When are you getting a divorce? Sign the papers!’ I’m the one calling her and pushing her,” Gorga said about his sister Teresa, according to PEOPLE. “Send him the papers, sign!”

Gorga revealed that he believes Joe would attempt to get money from his sister, despite Teresa's insistence that the father of her four daughters was “not that type” and “[wouldn’t] come after anything.”

But Teresa’s co-stars agreed with her brother. “Say you meet the perfect guy tomorrow and things go well and you want to move on with your life. He’s going to get angry. That’ll trigger it,” Dolores Catania said. “[There’s] no reason to wait.”

Catania also belives that Joe “feels like [Teresa] owes him.” Then, Teresa admitted to host Andy Cohen she had spent over $1 million paying Joe’s legal fees and back taxes, yet was still being blamed by Joe for their problems — he allegedly told her, ” ‘If it wasn’t for the show, this would have never happened.’ “

Teresa claimed on the reunion that she was “working on” the divorce papers, but that “it seems like [Joe’s] procrastinating.”

“Of course he does, because he wants the cha-cha-ching!” Joe Gorga said. “You have to move it.”

At the reunion, Teresa also discussed her suspicions that her husband allegedly had cheated on her.

“I want to just make something clear. I never caught him because I don’t want people to think I stayed with a cheater, ’cause that’s not me,” Teresa said, according to PEOPLE. “I’m such a bitch, if I caught my husband cheating, I would not be with him. That’s all I would need to say, ‘bye, bye.’ “

“I’m sure everyone believed it from seeing the tabloids … but he never told me,” Teresa added.

However, Joe Gorga said that he told Teresa that he believed the rumors but never said anything out of respect for his sister and his nieces. Also, Joe made it clear that he was also upset at Joe for the way he spoke to his sister during their one-on-one interview with Andy Cohen after he was transferred to Italy, as he awaits a final decision on his deportation appeal.

“I wasn’t happy with the interview,” Joe Gorga said. “He just did four years in prison, he could have came out and said, ‘I apologize, I’m sorry.’ You know, you beg, you pled. You tell your wife you’re sorry, you tell your kid you’re sorry. You don’t sit there like you’re God because you’re not God. Look what just happened to you! … You just got to be more humble and nice.”

Even Cohen chimed in to share his thoughts on the topic. “This is a guy who’s fighting his deportation? If I’m from ICE and I’m watching [his interview with Teresa], why am I flipping this around?”

Still, Teresa came to her estranged husband's support. “I’m like used to Joe, and I thought it wasn’t bad. Like, I’m used to the way he is,” she said. “I feel bad. I think the way you were raised had a lot to do with it. I don’t think he had that coddling love growing up and I feel bad for him. He doesn’t know how to express himself and he only knows one way, like a hard way.”

She went on to say that Joe’s deportation, which he is currently fighting, “breaks my heart.”

“I feel bad for my daughters,” Teresa said, adding that her eldest daughter Gia was in therapy, reports PEOPLE. “Me and Joe can get through anything, I hate that my kids have to go through this. This whole thing, they’re not punishing Joe and I, they’re punishing the kids. It’s not fair to them.”

“I never pictured my life to end like this. I mean, it’s not ending yet, but I never thought I was going to go through all this,” she said, crying.
