‘RHONJ’ Star Teresa Giudice Owes More Than $1M After Being Slapped With Tax Lien

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice finds herself in a financial bind, owing a staggering $1,096,012.14 to the government. The burden intensifies as she faces the repercussions of a recent $17,000 tax lien.

Newly obtained documents have shed light on the financial woes of Teresa Giudice. The 51-year-old reality TV personality was served with a fresh lien on April 19, 2023. The lien, issued by the Morris County New Jersey jurisdiction, pertains to her unpaid taxes for the years 2020 and 2021. This recent lien joins an extensive list of filings, contributing to a mind-boggling total debt that exceeds $1 million.

“Ms. Giudice has been aware of her tax obligations for years and makes significant timely monthly payments towards her outstanding tax liabilities,” Teresa’s attorney, James J. Leonard Jr, told Page Six on Thursday, June 1. “[She] will continue to do so until those liabilities do not exist.”

Teresa’s financial troubles have been a recurring theme in her life, with significant challenges dating back to her bankruptcy filing in 2009. The reality diva and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, faced a daunting legal battle when they were indicted on a staggering 39 counts of fraud.

The charges included conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bankruptcy fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and making false statements on loan applications. These serious allegations painted a picture of financial deception and misconduct, further adding to the couple’s tumultuous journey. 

In 2014, the former couple pleaded guilty to a whopping 41 counts of fraud. The consequences were severe, as both individuals were handed prison sentences as part of their plea agreement. Teresa served an 11-month term before her release in December 2015. Meanwhile, Joe, who is not a US citizen, was transferred to an ICE detention center, then ultimately deported to his native Italy in October 2019.

Teresa Giudice’s incarceration took center stage during the season 13 reunion on May 30. She once pointed fingers at her former co-star, Caroline Manzo, accusing her of tipping off the FBI about her fraud charges. However, in a twist, Teresa redirected her accusations towards her own sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. The palpable drama unfolded, leaving no room for reconciliation, as they both candidly admitted that the irreparable damage inflicted upon their relationship had reached a point of no return. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in the Garden State.
