Gia Giudice

As you've likely heard by now, former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice is being held in an ICE detention center, where he currently awaits deportation to Italy.

Giudice's appeal was denied last week, which means it's looking more likely than ever that he'll be shipped off to the country where he was born, but knows very little about.

Just a few months ago, it looked like Teresa Giudice was deep in denial about Joe's deportation.

Now that the season is upon us, she can no longer ignore her husband's fate.

Joe Giudice is facing deportation next year -- as soon as he gets out of prison.

Though Teresa Giudice has honored him with a photo and his family has vowed to fight deportation, it's an uphill battle and he's expected to lose.

Last week, Joe Giudice's family responded to the stunning news that he will be deported upon his release from prison.

Daugther Gia issued a desperate plea, urging her incarcerated father to fight this deportation order with an enthusiastic appeal.

We often mock Teresa Giudice and members of her family.

It's typically for good reason, too.

There's nothing like your firstborn's major life milestones.

Even reality TV moms get excited when their daughter goes to prom.

On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 7 Episode 16, Dolores Catania was still furious in the wake of her argument with Jacqueline Laurita. 

Yes, Jacqueline seems to be getting into arguments with absolutely everyone on the show, but it's making for good TV, so who are we to judge?

On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 7 Episode 15, the ladies adjusted to life without imprisoned family patriarch Joe Giudice.

The transition, as you might expect, was far from peaceful.

It hasn't been an easy couple of years for Gia Giudice. 

In December of 2015, her mother, Teresa Giudice, turned herself in to begin serving a 15 month sentence for bankruptcy fraud charges.

On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 7 Episode 14, the big day finally arrived ... for Joe Giudice to head to the big house.

If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online, it was hard not to get a little choked up, regardless of the Giudices' misdeeds.

It's only been three weeks since Teresa Giudice was released from prison, and the troubled Jersey Housewife is still on house arrest.

But that doesn't mean you can keep her away from a red carpet event.

Teresa Giudice is almost through serving her 15-month prison sentence for bankruptcy fraud. 

Of course, thanks to Bravo's (hilariously low-rated) Teresa Checks In specials, the incarcerated Housewife has already returned to the network that made her famous...kind of.
