Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/span><\/i><\/a> star <\/span>Teresa Giudice<\/b><\/a> owes $1,096,012.14, to the federal government after being hit with a new $17,0000 lien,<\/span> Life & Style<\/span><\/i> can confirm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to documents viewed by <\/span>Life & Style<\/span><\/i>, the Bravo star, 51, was handed a new lien for 2020 and 2021 tax years from the Morris County New Jersey jurisdiction on April 19, 2023. The most recent lien is among a long list of filings, as the full amount owed by the reality TV star totals more than $1 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time the <\/span>RHONJ<\/span><\/i> alum has faced significant financial issues. After filing for bankruptcy in 2009, Teresa and her then-husband, <\/span>Joe Giudice<\/b>,<\/span> were indicted on 39 counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bankruptcy fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and making false statements on loan applications.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2014, the former flames<\/span> pleaded guilty to 41 counts of fraud following a deal with federal prosecutors. Both parties received a prison sentence \u2014\u00a0Teresa served 11 months before being released in December 2015, and Joe served 41 months before his release in March 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n Since Joe, 51, was not a United States citizen, he was transferred to ICE custody immediately after his release. After spending seven months at the detention center, he was allowed to return to his native country of Italy in October 2019 while he waited for a verdict on his deportation appeal, which was ultimately denied in April 2020. His initial deportation appeal was previously denied in November 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n Teresa\u2019s imprisonment was a topic of discussion during part one of <\/span>RHONJ<\/span><\/i><\/a> season 13 reunion<\/a> on May 30. While the New Jersey native formerly blamed fellow alum <\/span>Caroline Manzo <\/b>for seemingly calling the FBI when she was indicted for fraud, she turned the blame toward her sister-in-law <\/span>Melissa Gorga<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n After Melissa accused Teresa<\/a> of using her and her husband, <\/span>Joe Gorga<\/b><\/a>, as a storyline, the mother of four argued that she has provided several juicy storylines over the years. After noting her arrest, Teresa pointed out that Melissa was friendly with her ex-husband\u2019s former business partner at the time of the scandal.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is like [you saying] Caroline Manzo put you in jail,\u201d Melissa responded about their former costar.<\/span><\/p>\n
