She said herself that the people they owed money to saw them on TV spending more money so they wanted the money owed to them to be paid. Who lives like that? Perhaps instead of trying to turn all of Franklin Lakes against Danielle, she should have got a job.

Teresa DID know about the financial troubles while the show was being filmed. She signed the bankruptcy papers in front of a lawyer. Her credit cards were maxed out before they signed the papers, they had already been served with law suits. All of this happened BEFORE the Italy trip while the show was being filmed. She was well aware of what was going on. The fact that Joe is unable to hide it from the cameras and Teresa is pretending it isn't happening in front of the cameras doesn't change the fact that she knew what was going on.

Oh My GOD!!

Will you people get a life? What is wrong with you? Do you for a second think that because you watch clips that are selected by editors for maximum dramatic effect that you actually have an idea what REALLY goes on in peoples' lives?

You "fans" really frighten the crap out of me. You think this stuff is real because it is called "reality television." The truth is that it is as FAR from reality as one can get!

Go check out the family on the other side of New Jersey where the husband lost his job at the factory and his family is now living at a homeless shelter.

THAT is reality.....not these pretentious, pompous azzwipes getting paid to entertain YOU MORONS!

She knew. Joe didn't keep her in the dark..... As someone else said, she had to sign the papers. The whole group, with the exception of perhaps one, aren't worth the air the breath. We, including myself are wasting time on this trash, when there are people who are losing their home, which isn't due to excessive spending, but true hardship.

I guess I'm just amazed that someone files and then goes and spends another 80k. If they owed me money, you're darn right, I'd be after them too.

but remember she's "too pretty to work", what a dillusional piece of trash! LOL!!! , reality check dear, really not that pretty, not even a little bit

Perhaps she can get a JOB. Maybe at the Brownstone as a coat checker??? She'd do well as long as she don't open her mouth...Her short, dumb little husband??? Hmmm thats another story. Maybe he can work there as well.. Say in their bakery dept??? He could stick his face in dough and make GORILLA cookies...Im just trying to figure out between the 2 of them, which one is dumber??? Now thats a tough call...The ENTIRE show is a disgrace to ALL Italian-Americans....Tommy was smart pulling his wife Dina from the show, it just don't do them any justice...But the others ALL seem to like the limelight...If they all really knew what most ALL of us think about them...They are legends in their OWN minds...Such ego's...

Your absolutely right. Her husband should have stopped her a long time ago. She paid out cash, thousands of dollars at a time right on T.V. Elaborate parties, the Christening, and the trip to Italy, which was her idea. Even the customed made clothing for her children. About Danielle, she is a street fighter. I don't like her at all. Her LITTLE HENCHMAN is a sleeze. She is very calculating.

I WANTED TO VOMIT WHEN THE OLDEST 'UGLY' CHILD OF THEIRS SAID...MOMMY, CAN I WEAR THE 'COUTURE' FASHION AND MOMMY SAID' OF COURSE'....IT MAKES ME SICK TO SEE THE CHILDREN (NOT ONE PRETTY ONE) WEAR THOSE FREAKISH OUTFITS, ESPECIALLY IN ITALY...WHERE ON EARTH DID THEY BUY THOSE DRESSES AND HEAD GEAR FOR THE GIRLS????????????

Joe suffered rather than share with Teresa their true financial situation (which she probably knew but was in denial) because she loves money more than she loves him and he knows it. Very sad - he has to buy her love. What caused such low self esteem in Joe that he chooses such a woman and then lives in fear and misery?

i really dont evem like her! she is my least favorite on housewives!

And you should care because of why?

How about caring for the truly needy?

I love Teresa Giudice, she is young and fulish in the sametime. But when she marrid Joe, they ware very happy, he has goodman, but she love to spend money, she got think she has 4 beautyful girls, now get your head strait Teresa, you need put money away for them, to go school. Start cut spending money, it is no one fult, expected whow,manager the household.

She is just now realizing being on the show exposes all expenditures on screen to the courts and the IRS??? DUH? That's why she really is threatening to leave, but it's too late; the cat is out of the bag! They have all of it on film to play in court if necessary. Plain fact, and hopefully she and Joe, not intelligent people, finally realized it and it scared the crap out of them. Again, TOO LATE.

Debtors' Prison does seem a tad harsh . . . plus, it's so 1847.

Let's not stoop to her level and call little girls ugly. I can't stand it when people attack children, they have nothing to do with any of this.
