Teresa Giudice is having a hard time stomaching two things lately:
With her sentence just over six weeks away, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has lost her appetite, literally, according to sources close to her.
“She’s skipping meals and surviving on coffee, a few nibbles, and wine,” an insider reports of the maligned mother of Gia Giudice and three younger daughters.
The source adds that Giudice has been “shaking from all the caffeine” and is down 11 pounds since she was sentenced two months ago. “She looks frail.”
“Her family is worried as she continues to obsess about prison and waste away.”
On January 5, she’s due to report to FCI Danbury, the federal women’s correctional institution upon which Orange Is the New Black is based, in Connecticut.
Teresa and Joe Giudice were sentenced in October, after pleading guilty to several counts of fraud. Joe will serve a 41-month term once Teresa gets out.
We know Teresa lives in denial, but we hope she pulls it together soon.
She’s going to need her strength in order to assert herself in there. You know the other inmates are gonna be coming for her, so she’s gotta bring the A-game:
We really do wish her kids the best in the coming months and years.
For all the jokes at Teresa’s expense, and for all the responsibility she alone must take for putting the family in this position, the kids’ future is no laughing matter.
As always, you can watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online to see the drama play out next season for a dramatic and intense behind the scenes look.
