Gia Giudice Defends Mom Teresa After Abrupt Interview Exit Over Tax Questions

Gia Giudice has strongly defended her mother, Teresa Giudice, after Teresa abruptly ended a live interview following questions about her family's tax history and past fraud charges. Gia criticized the news anchor's line of questioning as "insulting" and "unprofessional," emphasizing that the interview was meant to promote Teresa's upcoming appearances, not revisit legal troubles. She expressed sympathy for Teresa, noting that since her release from prison, Teresa has been working hard to pay off debts, including a recent tax lien of over $300,000, while her husband faces a $2.5 million lien. Gia also revealed that she reached out to President Donald Trump seeking a pardon for her father, Joe Giudice, who was deported to Italy after serving time for fraud, inspired by Trump’s recent pardons of other reality TV figures. Fellow Real Housewives star Dolores Catania supported Gia’s plea, acknowledging the family’s efforts to pay their debts and expressing hope for family reunification. Gia continues to use her platform to challenge the persistent negative narratives about her family, insisting their financial matters are private and that her mother handled the interview situation appropriately.
