Teresa Giudice Steps Out in ‘Maleficent’-Inspired Costume Amid Husband Joe’s Deportation

Did she get ready for Halloween early? Teresa Guidice from Real Housewives of New Jersey showed up at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in Coconut Creek, Florida in a costume that appeared to be inspired by Maleficent on October 17. She arrived with Melissa and Joe Gorga for a party there just days after her husband, Joe Giudice, flew to Italy on October 11 to await his deportation sentencing abroad.

“Joe’s mother and brother Peter are already in Italy and are waiting for him there,” a source told Radar Online on October 11. “He will be heading to Naples shortly, where there is a house waiting for him. His mother has been fixing up a house for him in preparation for his arrival.”

On March 14, Joe was released from prison but ended up in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), In Touch confirmed at the time. His detainment and deportation all stem from a judge’s ruling in October that Joe had to be deported to Italy after he pleaded guilty to multiple charges of fraud including mail, wire and bankruptcy in March 2014.

“I’ve been here my whole life, I wouldn’t know what to do in any other country,” the reality star the judge during his October court hearing. “I want to stay here.”

Besides stepping out in a cool costume, how is Teresa, 47, dealing with the aftermath of her husband heading for Italy? Stunningly, the Real Housewives of New Jersey season 10 premiere revealed that she hooked up with someone who was not her husband or her rumored fling Blake Schreck. 

In footage from the season, Teresa’s hookup said the pair “might have kissed,” and then she is pictured showing off photos of the man at dinner with some of her ladies. “He was the one I hooked up with,” she stated. That might seem definitive, but her lawyer has denied the allegation. “The clip in the newer super tease is Teresa, her brother and a lifelong friend named Tony talking about Teresa and Tony kissing when they were in high school more than 25 years ago,” James Leonard Jr. said in a statement.

Is it possible that her marriage is suffering in the wake of Joe’s deportation? That would honestly test any relationship, and we wouldn’t blame her if she’s struggling. Maybe getting out for a costume party with some of her friends helped! Check out the gallery below to see Teresa’s witchy look.
