RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice: “I have to be strong for my kids”
Teresa Giudice is on something of a press tour this week.
She already gave an interview with Star Magazine, in which she offered many of the same talking points: she’s “trying to be strong/ not giving up/ they’ll make it as a family/ she’ll stand by Joe.”
This interview inside the new issue of In Touch Weekly, that Kate Gosselin covers, is much of the same, with every reality stars’ favourite glib amelioration… “Nobody’s perfect.”
In the midst of legal woes, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is breaking her silence in an exclusive interview and photo shoot with In Touch.
Teresa and her husband, Joe, 43, both pleaded not guilty in August after being indicted on 39 counts of fraud charges that carry a maximum sentence of 50 years. But with their February trial date approaching, Teresa, 41, is a rock. “Look — every family has problems. Nobody’s perfect,” she tells the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now. “I have to be strong for my kids.”
Her top priority: making sure her four daughters, Gia, 12, Gabriella, 9, Milania, 7, and Audriana, 4, feel secure. “Especially Gia — she’s the only one who knows anything is going on, so I do everything I can to make her feel comfortable,” Teresa, who even hired LA-based legal coach and crisis manager Wendy Feldman, tells the mag. “I just want my daughters to grow up healthy and happy.”
And with the holidays approaching, Teresa explains the importance for her and Joe to savor the time without fear of the future. “You’ve got to keep living life and being positive,” she tells In Touch. “You can’t just curl up in a ball and crawl into a hole. What’s that going to do? I want the kids to enjoy their childhood. And to be the best mom I can be.” – via In Touch Weekly.
This pretty much frames why she’s going about business as usual; going on vacations, attending red carpets, attending charity events, staying active on social media. And, judging from Teresa’s Twitter the past few days, cooking for her kids, celebrating her anniversary, celebrating birthdays, and dressing up the kids for Halloween and pumpkin-picking.
Anything she was doing before the indictment, she’s still doing now to achieve a sense of normalcy for herself and her kids.
