Teresa Giudice NOT Filming “Spinoff Special” About Husband Joe’s Possible Deportation, Despite Claim
Teresa Giudice is not filming a “spinoff special” about husband Joe Giudice possibly being deported, despite a new claim. This allegation comes from a site that has peddled a lot of misinformation about the couple over the years. Now a lawyer for Teresa tells Gossip Cop this latest narrative is untrue, too.
As widely reported, Joe is currently behind bars for fraud offenses. It was known as far back as 2014 that Joe could be deported back to Italy upon completing his sentence, since he is not a U.S. citizen and plead guilty to crimes that fall under moral turpitude. Last month, it was denied by the family’s attorney that a decision has already been made to deport Joe even before he finishes serving his time.
Now according to RadarOnline, Teresa is “cashing in on hubby Juicy Joe’s deportation crisis” by “getting a whopping $500,000 to film about the situation.” The site, which maintains he “could be kicked out of the country at any time after a judge ruled his deportation process could proceed,” alleges Teresa is “going to showcase the scandal on television.” But it’s claimed the footage won’t be used for the “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” which was renewed earlier this year.
Rather, a so-called “insider” contends, “Teresa was offered big bucks to film a special about Joe’s deportation and she agreed to do it.” The untraceable source puts the figure at “half a million dollars to share the story on camera.” Insists the blog’s tipster, “It is going to be like the other specials when she was in prison and will show how she and Joe and [their daughters] are handling the scary prospect of Joe getting deported.”
It is true that in 2015 Bravo aired a three-part special about how the Giudice family was coping while Teresa served her own prison stint. In 2016, however, TMZ confirmed that there weren’t any specials in the works for Joe’s time in lock-up. That reporting was accurate; Teresa has continued to appear on “RHONJ,” but there haven’t been any additional specials or spinoffs.
And her lawyer, James Leonard, tells Gossip Cop she isn’t planning to do one now about Joe’s potential deportation. “Whoever comes up with these fake stories should leave RadarOnline and start writing fiction,” he says, cracking, “There’s got to be more money in it.” Indeed, the outlet has been caught peddling fake news about the Giudices multiple times over the years, particularly on the topic of Bravo filming.
Almost four years ago, for example, the online publication claimed Teresa was shooting a Christmas special as a “goodbye to her fans” before she entered prison. Gossip Cop busted that story at the time with the help of a network spokesperson, and no holiday special ever aired. Around the same time, another article from the website alleged Teresa was already filming a seventh season of “RHONJ” before she had to turn herself in. That, too, was untrue, just as Gossip Cop said in 2014. Season 7 of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” wasn’t announced until 2016.

I watched her interview in real time today, I must say the audience had a lot of love for Danielle Staub!
I didn’t know Danielle has RA. She seems to be managing it well right now. I have a few relatives who have it, one pretty severely. It can be extremely debilitating - hopefully Danielle never gets to that point.

Oh wow. I wonder how this will play out.
Oh wow. I wonder how this will play out.
Holy ****. Really did not think this would play out that way. It seems very extreme to me given that he has lived his entire life in the US and he and Teresa have successfully paid back the restitution they owed; I hope he is successful on appeal.
I didn’t think he would be deported but I don’t agree that it’s extreme. He’s had plenty of opportunity to get his citizenship, then broke a bunch of laws, so why should he stay? Yes he’s got a family, but usually the reason people don’t get citizenship is because it’s freakin’ expensive, and that clearly wasn’t an obstacle for him.
To me this feels more like a case where the government has chosen to make an example out of someone who is relatively high profile without considering, or rather what in my opinion would be properly weighing, the other circumstances involved considering this was a completely discretionary decision.
Maybe I'm misremembering, but did Joe claim that he didnt know he wasnt a US citizen? (not that that is a defense). Also, they were filmed in the early seasons of the show taking a family trip to Italy. Is it known what documentation he used to enter and exit the US? Presumably he could not have had a US passport?
In this political climate I’m sure the judge has no choice but to follow the rule especially because he’s high profile there’s no way it could have been avoided. It’s really sad that these girls have gone through all of this it’s not their fault I feel for the kids
I fear you are right - it will be interesting to see what happens on appeal. It's sad because it's always the innocent children who get hurt the most in these situations.
