When news first broke that Teresa Giudice had been sentenced to 15 months in prison, we should’ve guessed she’d continue to rely on the same idiotic behavior pattern that first got her into this mess.
Every time she gets called out for anything (which is often), Teresa blames someone else and tries to weasel out of suffering any sort of consequence.
In this case, she’s blaming her husband Joe and trying to get out of her prison sentence, even though she signed a plea deal that stipulated any appeal would be rejected.
Teresa killed two birds with one stone today by skipping Joe’s court date (He was being sentenced for possession of a fraudulent license. He got off with time served.) and meeting with a divorce attorney in a different part of the state.
Teresa isn’t necessarily divorcing Joe (though that’s a very real possibility), but her childlike understanding of the law is such that she thinks a divorce lawyer can help her avoid jail. It’s almost cute:
“Teresa really likes [the attorney], and will likely hire to handle the appeal of her looming prison sentence,” says a source. “She is going with her gut instincts on this one.”
Normally we’d say hiring a divorce lawyer for your criminal case is a really bad idea, but in this case, Teresa doesn’t have a chance in hell, anyway, so whatever makes her happy!
