Teresa Giudice pleaded guilty to multiple fraud charges in federal court on Tuesday and she may be facing years behind bars, but her southern Housewives friend NeNe Leakes is coming to her defense, saying that she doesn’t want her to see her friend go to jail.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her husband, Juicy Joe, pleaded guilty to tax fraud and evasion, and at her sentencing she could be facing up to two years in a federal prison.
However, reality show blood is thicker than water, and Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe has got her back, telling THE INSIDER’s Kevin Frazier that she hopes Teresa won’t be starring in her own version of Orange Is The New Black.
