Family First? Teresa Giudice ‘Going Out’ With Friends In Weeks Before Prison

So much for spending the holidays at home.

Teresa Giudice isn’t heading to prison until January 5, but instead of spending as much time as possible with her family, insiders say it seems she has other priorities.

“Teresa was given the chance to be home with her kids, right?” a source close to Giudice snipes to RadarOnline.com, “Too bad she’s been busy going out!”

The source reveals Giudice has been spending time with her closest girlfriends on nights out without her beloved daughters Gia, Milania, Gabriella and Audriana. And an eatery located in Montclair, New Jersey, has become Giudice’s favorite pre-prison haunt.

“Fresco is the name of the restaurant that she’s always at,” the source says. “She’s out all the time with friends.”

A restaurant employee at Fresco confirmed to RadarOnline.com that Giudice is a patron.

But while 42-year-old Giudice has been distracting herself at night from thinking about prison, during the day she has been futilely attempting to change her future.

“Teresa has been calling every attorney in town, desperate, saying that she was misrepresented,” the source says. “She’s trying to reassess everything and thinking she can change her sentencing, but it’s all too little, too late.”
