As Teresa explained in theRHONJpremiere, Joe was born in Italy and lived there for a year before his parents relocated to America.He never obtained American citizenshipand per U.S. law, immigrants can be deported if they are convicted of “a crime of moral turpitude” or an “aggravated felony.”
Joe was released from prison in March but was transferred to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — moving overnight from the low-security prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, to the high-security Clinton County Correctional Center in Pennsylvania.
Heremained there until October, when he was allowed to move to Salerno, Italy.
Teresa and Joe, who have been married for 20 years, share daughters Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10.
While at BravoCon on Saturday,Teresa was asked how the kids were doing after their recent visit to Italy to see Joe, which was filmed for a Bravo special.
“They’re still really missing Joe,” she admitted.
“You guys will see that play out but I’m happy for him, I’m happy that he’s free,” Teresa said. “It’s a very emotional trip. I cried a lot. It takes a lot for me to cry, but I cried a lot. It’s so emotional.”
“I thank you for all your love and support,” she told the fans. “It really means a lot.”
Mostly, she said she’s happy that Joe continued to fight.
“He keeps saying, I should never have sat there in ICE for 7 months,” Teresa recalled. “He keeps saying, ‘I could have saw [my kids] sooner.’ But I keep saying, ‘If you didn’t, they wouldn’t have known you were fighting. Now his daughters know he did fight. They were like, done with it. They were like, ‘Daddy, it’s enough. You have to get out of there.’ “
During aWatch What Happens Live withAndy Cohenspecial that aired at the end of October,Teresa said that she still blames Joe for the time she lost with her family during her prison sentence, including herlate mother, who died shortly after her release.
“There’s no one else to blame, so yeah, I still blame him,” Teresa said, noting her mother’s death.
“I got really angry when I lost my mom. Before that I wasn’t really angry, but then after that, it all hit me. And I became more open and more expressive of how I felt. No one should judge me unless they’re walking in my shoes. Unless they walk the walk, they don’t understand it,” she said.
