"Look at @NancyGraceHLN trying to turn @Teresa_Giudice into tot mom so she can get ratings,” the Guidices’ rep Wendy Feldman, herself a convicted felon, posted on her social media pages.
"Desperate and shameful. Not a judge lady.”
Feldman accused Grace, via a hashtag, of being a “hack.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the pair pleaded guilty to an array of fraud charges earlier this week. Teresa now faces 27 months in prison, while husband Joe could get 46 months and is likely be deported back to Italy.

Teresa was in fact unemployed at the time.
The original bank and bankruptcy fraud charges centered on their inability to file tax returns from 2004 to 2008.
Law enforcement authorities claimed the controversial couple filed fraudulent mortgage and other loan applications from 2001 to 2008, a year before their show debuted.
Prosecutors said the couple submitted fake W-2s, tax returns and bank account information to lenders.
