Though Teresa Giudice was caught holding hands with a hot young boy toy during a secret getaway vacation earlier this year, she is still desperately trying to keep her felon husband from being deported.
As part of Joe’s petition for review filed in federal court, the 46-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star penned a heartfelt letter to an immigration judge begging for mercy, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.
She began by revealing she met Joe, 48, when she was a newborn in the hospital, as their parents were family friends.
READ TERESA’S SHOCKING LETTER TO THE JUDGE
“My mother used to tell me that God meant for us to be together, and I know that she is right,” Teresa wrote in the April 24 filing.
Though Joe pleaded guilty and spent three years behind bars on fraud charges, she said her husband deserved sympathy from the legal system, as his father died suddenly of a heart attack. (Frank Giudice died in June 2014 at 63 years old.)
“Joe actually discovered his father’s body in the ground in our backyard,” she said. “Joe was devastated after losing his father, he cried for him every day and even built a memorial for him in our yard.”
“I would watch from a window in my house as Joe would sit outside, sometimes for more than an hour talking to his father. When Joe would come inside, my daughters and I would comfort him. Our two youngest daughters, Milania and Audriana, would hold him extra tight and say, ‘Daddy please don’t leave us like Nonno, we need you,’” she wrote, referring to the Italian word for grandfather.
Teresa told the judge the main reason Joe shouldn’t be deported to his native Italy is their four daughters need him at home.
“Judge Ellington, my daughters need their father,” she pleaded. “They cry for him every day like he cried for his father.”
She said she understood the pain, as her mother died unexpectedly in 2017.
“I cry for her every day,” she said.
“I cannot bear the thought of my daughters losing their father, I am fearful that it will break them and that I alone will not be able to fix them. Judge Ellington, this is my greatest fear and it keeps me up at night. The fear that if I lose my husband, I will also lose my children, as they will never ever be the same.”
The reality star went on to admit she and Joe made “mistakes,” but have “paid the price” with their respective prison sentences. If Joe gets deported, her children will now be forced to pay the price, she argued.
She prayed to God the judge would “end their suffering” by putting an end to the deportation proceedings.
“My husband is the true love of my life and the most amazing father that I could ask God for our four daughters. I cannot imagine life without him.”
“I now pray for the sake of my children that God show us mercy through your decision and he keep us together,” she concluded.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Joe’s appeal to shut down a judge’s October 2018 deportation ruling was denied earlier this month. He promptly filed a petition for review in federal court as a last-ditch effort to come home, and even a lawsuit against the U.S. Attorney General.
