Teresa Giudice’s Daughter Gia Starts Petition Asking Trump to Stop Dad Joe’s Deportation

"After Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice’s husband, Joe, lost his appeal in his deportation case, the couple’s children are making last-ditch efforts to keep Joe from being expelled to Italy. On Tuesday, April 23, Joe’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, started a petition asking President Donald Trump Opens a New Window. to stop the 46-year-old’s deportation.

In the Change.org petition Opens a New Window. , Gia, 18, describes her father as “a businessman, a husband, father to four young women all under the age of 19, son, brother, uncle and friend to many.” She admits he was “found guilty of NON Violent offenses” — referring to his and Teresa’s 2014 guilty plea to mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud charges — but points out that her parents “ought tirelessly to pay back every single penny of restitution [the] court deemed they owe.”

She continues: “My father is there for us in every possible way a father could be. He has always been our handyman, our [confidante], our cheerleader, our challenger and most importantly our protector. This [deportation] would rob us of my father screaming from the stands at our graduations, meeting our future husbands for the first time, of walking us down the aisle, of being there when his grandchildren come into the world.”

“We request that our President, Donald J Trump, review our petition and pardon my father to relieve him of this life sentence the courts are bestowing on him,” she concludes. “Yes in Italy he will no longer be incarcerated but will he ever be free if kept from his family and be able to be a productive member of society?”

The message is signed by Gia, Teresa, and Gia’s three sisters: Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 9. In the first four hours, more than 9,000 supporters added signatures to the petition.

After Gia shared the petition on Instagram Opens a New Window. , Teresa, 46, commented to say, “Love you.” Earlier in the day, Milania shared a screenshot on Instagram of Joe’s sister Maria Fazliu asking Trump to intervene.

Milania also tried to bring the matter to the President’s attention, tagging him on her Instagram post about her father on Friday, April 19. “I need you home daddy,” she wrote to Joe Opens a New Window. , who has been in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody since completing his 41-month prison sentence last month. “All I want is to be a family again.”"

^Well said!

I don't blame Gia for trying, I doubt Theresa cares at all. I wouldn't sign any petition.

Yeah, I think it's just support..

Jacqueline Laurita’s husband, Chris, is selling their belongings on Facebook

"Jacqueline Laurita‘s husband has turned to Facebook marketplace to get rid of the couple’s personal items as they struggle to sell their New Jersey mansion.

Chris Laurita has listed at least 14 items, including a distressed leather sofa (originally priced at $27,000), a crystal chandelier for $5,000, a dining room table and a toy storage unit.

Chris also shared that he is willing to part ways with some movie memorabilia, including a signed “Godfather I” movie poster and a signed “Sopranos” picture. A “Donnie Brasco” plaque already sold for $300.

He is also selling a poker table, which “RHONJ” fans will recall was often featured on the Bravo reality series. “Needs a little TLC,” he wrote in the caption, adding that he was giving it away for $2,000, but the original price was “over $15k.”

The online flea market sale comes as Jacqueline and Chris have been trying to move out of their Franklin Lakes home for nearly five years.

According to NJ.com, they have had to cut the price three times from $2.8 million to $1.95 million, and they are facing foreclosure proceedings.

Chris confirmed the Facebook marketplace sale to NJ.com and said it has “nothing to do” with foreclosure proceedings.

“Why can’t someone write something positive about a family pulling up their bootstraps and moving on to bigger and better opportunities?” he wrote in a message. “What we’re doing is a good thing and is best for our families future. We are looking forward to it.”

Jacqueline has not appeared as a full-time cast member of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” since Season 7. On the show, she said her son Nicholas’ autism has contributed to the couple’s financial strains."

Laurita family selling their used stuff... saying their child’s autism contributed to their financial ruin....it seems a tad more likely their grifting fraud contributed.to their ruin.

I hate to admit this but I'm lost interest in the show. It's become the Teresa show and I'm just tired of it.
I wish Caroline would come back. I listened to Albie's podcast and he had his mom on there. I really wish she would come back..she was the voice of reason.

To whoever referred to the Laurita family as grifters, I disagree. It's the economy that took them down and, since, their priorities changed with Nicholas' diagnoses.

In contrast, don't even get me started on Teresa and her disgusting clan. I can no longer even tolerate the children speaking up on behalf of their parents as if they are the victims. Every one of them is just too gross.

Bravo made their bed by sticking with Teresa and Joe, who, IMO, should have been fired the moment Bravo found itself a party to their fraud. As much as the reality world loves train wrecks, there really should be a line.

Yes, but I'm tired of making excuses for Teresa's children. To me, they're just not cute anymore; instead, they're gross. I may be an awful person by voicing this opinion, but it's how I feel.

I looked up ratings and NJ began to significantly slip AFTER season five when Jacqueline Laurita, Caroline Manzo and Kathy Wakile departed.

Season six is when Dina Manzo returned, Teresa Aprea, Amber Marchese and Nicole Napolitano joined the cast. Teresa and Melissa remained. Ratings dropped.

It was between season six and seven that Teresa was in prison and Bravo delayed filming until she was out.

Season seven is when Dina Manzo, Teresa Aprea, Amber Marchese and Nicole Napolitano departed. Jacqueline Laurita returned, Dolores Catania and Siggy Flicker joined the cast. Ratings continued to drop.

Season eight is when Jacqueline Laurita departed and Margaret Josephs joined the cast. Ratings dropped more.

Season nine is when Siggy Flicker departed. Jennifer Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider joined the cast. Ratings continued to drop.

On the surface, it's noticeable, at least to me, that Bravo keeping the focus upon the toxic Teresa instead of moving on without her hasn't paid off. It might have been that New Jersey's ratings would have slipped as much without Teresa, but after spending a few minutes looking at similar wikipedia pages for the other Housewives shows, it doesn't appear that way.

What I do notice is it seems all the Housewives shows have taken hits in ratings after certain early cast members departed, but none have continued to drop steadily like New Jersey, year, after year, after year.

Scientifically sufficient analysis or even close to it? No, but something to think about.

I guess Chris has not crossed over to actual fraud to sustain a show off lifestyle (to make people who actually work for a living feel like peasants).
The Larita situation is related to Chris' gimmicks.

Guicy will be better off back in Italy. I have not watched NJ in a while. The drama is too much.

He who protests too much......
