Teresa Giudice's First Words After Joe’s Deportation News

Days after it was revealed that Joe Giudice will be deported after his prison release, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice is breaking her silence!

On Sunday, Teresa posted a pic of the Statue of Liberty crying, captioning it with prayer emojis.

Teresa also posted a pic with daughter Gia at Rutgers University, writing on Instagram, “Taking it one day at a time, with my beautiful Gia checking out @rutgersu.”

After news broke about his deportation, Gia defended her dad, writing on Instagram, “my father is no threat to society he is one of the most warm hearted people I know, he would never harm a soul. He puts everyone else before himself. I know who my father is and I think many of you do too. My father did his time and learned from his mistakes. Isn't being in there supposed to make you realize your mistakes so you can become a better person?”

“We have so many plans to do as a family when he gets out. I need my father to be here,” Gia elaborated. “My father belongs with us and his entire family. My father came into this country when he was one years old, the United States is the only country he knows, spread the word #bringjoehome.”

Last week, Joe pleaded with the judge, “I don't understand how I can be deported on this case. If you will, I'll tell you my side. I shouldn't even be here right now. I have to go back and tell my kids this, and they've been waiting to hear from me.”
