Bravo aired part two of its sit-down with Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice last night, as the law-breaking reality star appeared again opposite Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live.
Following Monday evening’s televised interview, during which Teresa claimed she didn’t understand the terms of her plea bargain, this awful couple blamed pretty much everyone except themselves for their legal woes.
“I wasn’t aware that we needed to put all that information down,” Teresa said of why she failed to list various expensive assets on various financial forms.
“I wish our accountant had come to our house and then filled out the paperwork.”
The Giudices also claimed they only have $25,000 worth of home furnishings inside a $3 million home. How can that be?
“Four years later, if it was appraised at $50,000 or $60,000, it’s half right?” Joe said, we guess trying to be funny.
Teresa added that she told her attorney to list her engagement and wedding band on the forms, along with Joe’s Rolex and wedding ring, but he failed to do so.
In court last week, prior to his client being sentenced (to 41 months in jail), Joe’s lawyer argued that alcoholism was to blame for Joe’s overt cheating and lying.
“I might have a little problem,” with drinking, Joe admitted in this new interview, explaining that he can “easily do” two bottles of wine by himself everyday.
Teresa, meanwhile, said Joe and Melissa Gorga will NOT care for the couple’s four children. Instead, that responsibility will fall to their father. What a novel concept!
“I want my husband to be there for my daughters,” she told Cohen. “Joe has his mother and his sister [too if needed, but] I want him to be there for my daughters.”
Giudice has previously said she also hopes her prison sentence serves as a life lesson for her kids.
The couple said they have hired a new accountant and, while Joe plans to remain in the “rentals and building” business after his time is up, he’s “going to make sure everything is crossed and dotted the right way” next time. Which is probably a good idea.
Cohen saved the most hard-hitting question for last, looking at Joe and asking:
“How does it feel knowing your actions resulted in your wife being a convicted felon and facing prison?”
“I want to apologize that I got you into this mess,” he said to Teresa. “I don’t even know what else to say. If I could take it all back, I would, but I just can’t and I’m sorry you have to go through all this. I tried everything I could to convince the judge not [to convict you] but I have no control over that.”
Teresa accepted her the apology, kissed him, told him she loved him and then addressed her fans* with the following:
“I want to apologize to the people out there I let down and I want to say I’m deeply sorry for what I’ve done.”
(*Side note: Who on earth is a fan of Teresa Giudice?!?)
