From Flipping Tables to Federal Prison: What All Fans Should Know About Teresa Giudice

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has remained one of the more loveable characters on the show, despite a temper that has literally led her to flip tables and being a convicted criminal. She puts a lot out there, but here are some things that fans might not know about her.

1. She spent some time in an ankle bracelet

Teresa got released early from the Danbury Federal Correctional Institute, but she had to wear an ankle bracelet for tracking purposes for a while after. She started back on the Real Housewives of New Jersey right away, despite being confined to her home.

2. She has her own line of cocktails

Teresa started her own line of Fabellini cocktails, and swears that they are lower in calories and taste better than Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel’s Skinnygirl line. “My thing is I don’t like anything that tastes diet-y,” she explains. “For instance, Skinnygirl tastes diet-y. I don’t like that.”

3. She credits yoga for changing her outlook on life

After spending almost a year in prison for fraud, she shared that yoga really helped get her through it, and that it helped calm down her fiery personality in general. “I’m coping the best I can. Listen, I love my husband … I think I’ve changed … I’ve grown from doing yoga. I’m very zen now.”
