Teresa Giudice Turning The Tables
In her very first tell-all commentary, she comes clean on all things Giudice: growing up as an Italian-American and starting a family, however, dealing with chaos on national television, and coming to terms with the reality of life behind bars. Turning the Tables captures some of the most memorable moments of her stay, including the fights she saw, the awkward dilemma of being trapped when a fellow inmate had a…guest…over, and the might she found while locked between four concrete walls.
Teresa reflects on the days following her December 2015 release, and the heart-rending weeks leading up to the night she had to say good-bye to her husband, Joe…who to serve his own prison sentence.
Even at her lowest, she was able to live la Bella vita by staying positive and realizing her purpose. Friends, foes, and fans have speculated about Teresa’s life off-camera, but nothing will prepare you for the revelations she makes in this entertaining and ultimately heartwarming commentary.
