Teresa Giudice‘s co-stars are sticking by the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” fixture as Joe Giudice faces possible deportation to Italy.
“Teresa is one of the strongest people I know,” Margaret Josephs told Page Six at the HealthCorps Gala hosted by Dr. and Lisa Oz on Tuesday night. “The main concern for her is her daughters and I think she’s staying strong for her family and we’re all praying for the best outcome possible.”
Joe is currently awaiting a judge’s ruling on his deportation appeal at Clinton County Correctional Facility after serving three years in jail for fraud at Allenwood Low Federal Correctional Institution. The couple has been married for almost 20 years and are parents to Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10.
Dolores Catania and “RHONJ” newbies Jennifer Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider also attended the event held at Cipriani Wall Street.
Even Goldschneider — who didn’t take too long to get on Giudice’s bad side during her first season on the Bravo hit — had words of encouragement for the mom-of-four.
“I would never not support one of my fellow cast members,” she told us. “She is going through a terrible time so whether we’re fighting or not it doesn’t make a difference [in] sending good prayers and wanting the best for her kids. Of course, they want their dad home so I would always hope for the best for her.”
Aydin said she’s been in touch with Teresa but is treading lightly.
“The thing with Teresa is you just got to let her know that you’re there for her,” she told us. “If she needs a shoulder to cry on I’m here for her, but I really don’t try to infiltrate or get any information that she’s not comfortable to give so I’m just here for her.”
And Catania, who brought along her boyfriend for the event, says Teresa is keeping her head up for her kids.
“Teresa hangs in there,” she said. “The girls took it very bad when their dad didn’t come back so she’s upset for them.”
Giudice’s sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, was also at the event.
