Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it sounds like Teresa Giudice is willing to do anything to postpone her 15-month jail stay. The star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has admitted that since being sentenced that her husband, Joe Giudice, has a drinking problem. In fact, his defense team tried to use his addiction to try and sway the judge toward sending him to rehab rather than jail for his string of financial crimes. That did not work, but now Teresa has found a way for her husband's battle with booze to actually help her.
According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa is supposedly pushing hard for Joe to check himself into a rehab facility ahead of her Jan. 5 surrender date. Apparently, she is hoping that if Joe were to go to rehab, then her attorney could petition the court to change her surrender date. The judge in this case has said she does not want the Giudices's four daughters to be left at home without a parent, so she probably would be willing to change Teresa's date if her husband were to decide to get help.
Of course, at least as of now, Joe has absolutely no intention of checking himself in anywhere. As it is, he will be facing a 45-month prison sentence once his wife is released, and Joe figures that will be the perfect time for him to dry out. Until then, he is going to continue living exactly as he wants to live, and that includes daily trips to the bar.
At the root of all of this is the fact that Teresa still has not come to terms with the fact that her own shady actions in the past to get ahead now mean that she has to be punished by spending 15 months in prison. Rather than trying to make things right, as she has said she wants to, she still keeps looking for a way around everything.
Ironically enough, if Joe would go to rehab now, he would probably be in much better shape to care of his kids while she is away, don't you think? Comment below.
