Italians are known for enjoying hearty meals. — but when it comes to food these days, count Teresa Giudice out!
“She’s skipping meals and surviving on coffee, a few nibbles and wine,” a source told Us Weekly of the toll the 42-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star’s sentence for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud has had on her appetite as she waits to report to prison on January 5.
The magazine also claims that in the last couple months Teresa has dropped 11 pounds from her 5-foot-8 frame.
“She looks frail. Her family is worried as she continues to obsess about prison and waste away,” noted the source.
As RadarOnline.com revealed, while Teresa isn’t eating, her husband, Joe Giudice, has been throwing back copious cocktails to cope with his impending incarceration.
Joe, 42, admitted to drinking “every day” and downing up to four bottles of wine a night during a recent Watch What Happens Live interview with Andy Cohen. But sources say the problem is wider than that.
