Teresa Giudice has been behind bars for a full four days now, but somehow, she’s still managing to make celebrity gossip headlines.
Whether it’s news about Teresa making 12 cents an hour in the big house or predictions that she’ll be targeted by other inmates, the discgraced Housewife’s life has only become more interesting since she surrendered herself to authorities on Monday.
Of course, Teresa’s final days before starting her sentence were pretty interesting in their own right, particularly this most recent story about T going off on her brother and sister-in-law just before turning herself in:
“Teresa called many people the night before she went to prison,” a source tells Radar Online. “Two of the people she called happened to be Melissa and Joe [Gorga].”
“She was insistent they were partially to blame for her jail sentence because they came on The Real Housewives of New Jersey and made her look bad.”
That may be why – to the surprise of many fans – Joe Gorga has yet to issue a statement in which he publicly supports his sister.
The insider claims the Gorgas have attempted to lend their assistance to Teresa and her family, but that Teresa “keeps blocking them out of her life.”
“For example, when Teresa was going to court for her sentencing, she told them not to come. And they took the heat for not showing up, even though it was Teresa’s decision!”
The source adds that Teresa had driven a wedge between Joe Gorga and his mother, and their relationship has already improved in the few days that she’s been locked up.
