Teresa Giudice Ends Interview Early Amid $3M New Jersey Tax Liens

Teresa Giudice, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, abruptly ended a WGN News interview after being questioned about her family's unpaid taxes and recent tax liens exceeding $3 million. The interview initially focused on her potential participation in the show's reboot and her other projects, but tensions rose when a host asked why her family hadn’t paid taxes for years, referencing her 2015 fraud conviction and prison sentence. Giudice appeared visibly upset and quickly hung up, refusing to answer further questions. The interview clip was later removed from the station's YouTube channel, though the anchor maintained his position and even made follow-up jokes about the tax issues on social media. The situation highlights ongoing scrutiny of Giudice and her husband Luis Ruelas's financial troubles, with liens filed for significant unpaid taxes earlier this year. Despite the controversy, Giudice expressed hope about returning to the show and spoke positively about other projects involving her family.
