Teresa Giudice may be preparing to divorce her husband Joe.
Teresa Giudice Is "Confident" She Won't Receive Jail Time In Fraud Case
As the Real Housewives of New Jersey star continues to share happy family photos on Instagram, sources are speaking out, claiming Giudice is secretly planning to split from Joe, who she blames for her current legal situation.
"Teresa blames Joe for the situation she’s in right now, and she’s planning on reiterating that during her sentencing," a source told Celebrity Dirty Laundry on Aug. 31. "She wants everybody to know that it was Joe who was behind all their illegal activity, including the tax fraud. She thinks that by divorcing Joe and blaming the whole situation on him, she’ll engender some sympathy from the judge and jury."
Teresa Giudice Doesn't Want Sentencing Shown On 'RHONJ'
In the months since she and Joe pleaded guilty to crimes of fraud, Giudice has maintained a unite front. From dinners with the family to vacations to the Jersey shore, she and her husband appear to be completely "on." But could it all be a front?
When it comes to Giudice's fraud case, it may be to her benefit to part ways with Joe. After all, standing by him just further confirms her guilt. However, according to a Sept. 2 report by The Inquisitr, divorce could benefit Giudice in the long run.
"If Joe is sentenced to prison for the next two to four years, Teresa may divorce him in order to avoid paying his restitution fees," the site reported.
One month before pleading guilty to their crimes, Giudice appeared on ABC News, where she claimed she and Joe were closer than ever.
