The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice opened up to Us Weekly about how she has been shamed continuously by her husband, Joe Guidice, and what might happen if he is locked up in jail.  

Among his offenses: drunken onscreen outbursts, a DWI arrest, an $11 million bankruptcy filing (which he later rescinded) and, most recently, an indictment for using a false ID to obtain a driver’s license. 

The latter charge could land him in prison for 10 years. All the while, published reports of his alleged infidelity have plagued her. “Teresa puts on blinders when it comes to Joe,” says a Giudice source. “It’s difficult for her to accept he’s such a scumbag.”  Good to know.

Multiple sources tell UsWeekly that the cookbook author and entrepreneur is already planning her next moves should her husband of 12 years be locked up: namely, land a spinoff show and pen a memoir about life as a single mom to Gia, 11, Gabriella, 6, Milania, 5, and Audriana, 2.

“I don’t know if she’ll actually leave him if he goes to jail,” says a second Giudice insider. “But she knows everyone will see her as a victim and she’ll get her own show.” 

Adds another source, “If Joe goes to jail, there will be sympathy for her, and she’ll get a spinoff show about life as a single mom. She’ll do a book deal, too: My Life Without Joe or something like that.”
