After the Real Housewives of New Jersey star filed a motion, requesting she be allowed to serve her 15-month sentence at the Danbury Federal Prison in Connecticut, Giudice's crisis manager, Wendy Feldman, terminated her role in the reality star's life.
"Sadly, my time with Teresa and has come to an end," Feldman told Us Weekly on Oct. 20. "My client relationships are very important to me, however today's filing regarding Teresa's Bureau of Prisons designation request was not done with my knowledge or input. I am not the consultant referred to in filing. This is clearly not the first time my advice has not been followed, but this is the time where the stakes are the highest."
Teresa Giudice Will Write A Tell-All Book During 15-Month Prison Term
On Oct. 2, Giudice and her husband, Joe, were sentenced for crimes of fraud, which they had been accused of in summer 2013. In March 2014, the couple plead guilty, agreeing to a plea deal, which could garner Teresa up to 27 months behind bars and Joe up to 47 months. While Teresa received just 15 months, Joe has been sentenced to 41 months in prison.
According to the report, Giudice wanted to serve her time at the prison, which inspired Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, and made her request without the knowledge or support of Feldman.
"Both for my clients and myself, I work hard to maintain a strong relationship with the Bureau of Prisons. As I've tried to instruct Teresa, this is a process that must be respected," Feldman continued. "A designation to a camp is a gift, not a requirement from the BOP and the judge. By making this request, Teresa has jeopardized months of work, months of preparation and in fact may jeopardize where she is ultimately designated or sent to."
