'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice's Ex-Husband Cries Out To Donald Trump For A Way Back Into The U.S.

Teresa Giudice's ex-husband, Joe Giudice, is begging for a second chance from Donald Trump.

The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" alum penned an emotional plea to the President, imploring him to give him a chance to reunite with his family. The media personality was deported to Italy in 2019 after serving time for fraud charges.

Joe and Teresa Giudice tied the knot on October 23, 1999, in Newark, New Jersey. They welcomed four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana before their 20-year union ended in December 2019. Their divorce was finalized in September 2020, months after Teresa met her new husband, Luis Ruelas.

Joe penned his emotional plea to Trump on Instagram, sharing a carousel of images that captured him with his four daughters throughout the years. The heartwarming pictures showcased the enduring bond between the father and his children, sentiments he hoped the POTUS would notice.

The former Bravolebrity claimed he wasn't seeking a pardon solely because of his past crimes but rather for his love for his daughters, whom he dearly missed. "I'm Joe Giudice. I served my time, and I've been deported from the U.S. for nearly a decade," he began, adding:

"I was raised in Jersey, I'm a father of four amazing daughters, and I just want to be allowed to visit them again. President Trump, I respect you, and I'm asking for a second chance. @realdonaldtrump @donaldjtrumpjr”

While it remains to be seen if Joe's plea will reach the President and his son, Donald Trump Jr., so far, the entertainer's words have garnered positive responses from fans. Many rallied behind his plea for a reunion, imploring the POTUS to add Joe to his pardon list.

"Joe has paid the price. Please bring him home," someone pleaded. Another echoed similar sentiments, writing: "This is one pardon I can get on board with!!!!!" A third tagged the President and his son in their comment, begging them to return Joe to his four daughters.

The love for Joe continued, with more fans believing he deserved a presidential pardon. "If he can pardon the Chrisleys, he can pardon JOE!!!!" an IG user declared with a fellow supporter adding:

"Awwwww bring Juicy Joe home !!!!!!! There's literally monsters walking free here. Let this poor man come home to his family."

Joe's immigration troubles started in 2013 after he and his ex-wife faced fraud charges. Their indictment and guilty convictions earned them time behind bars, with the Giudice patriarch receiving 41 months, followed by his deportation to Italy.

An immigration court judge ruled on Joe's deportation in 2018, ordering his return to Italy after his sentence was completed in 2019. The media personality could not avoid this fate because he had never applied for American citizenship, despite having lived there since childhood.

"I was a year old when I came here. My parents are citizens. My brother and sister are citizens — they were born here. I just never thought to file for citizenship," Joe explained at the time.

PEOPLE shared that he considered himself an American and claimed that, despite being born in Italy, moving there would be a cultural shock because he knew nothing about his birthplace.

Joe and Teresa appear to be on better terms than two years ago, with the "RHONJ" alum supporting her ex-husband's plea to come home. She dropped two comments underneath the post, featuring prayer hands and red heart emojis, which Joe liked.

Teresa dropped the comments through her personal Instagram account and her "Turning The Tables By Teresa" podcast account.

This show of love marked significant progress in the former couple's relationship, as The Blast previously reported that Joe had been involved in fights with his ex-wife and her second husband, Luis Ruelas.

While celebrating her sister-in-law's birthday in January 2023, Teresa penned a sweet note praising her husband's sister. However, Joe mocked her for her feud with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa. His since-deleted comment read: "I thought you loved Melissa."

Trump marked his return to office by gifting presidential pardons to A-listers he believed deserved a clean slate. The list includes the famous reality TV couple Todd and Julie Chrisley, whom the politician argued were prosecuted because of their celebrity status.

The Chrisleys were convicted in 2022 on charges of bank fraud and tax evasion, receiving a combined 19-year sentence. Rapper NBA YoungBoy also received a pardon for possessing a weapon despite being a convicted felon. The crime earned him a two-year prison sentence in 2024.

The list continues with former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who was pardoned for several crimes. His charges included wire fraud, lying to an FBI agent, extortion attempts, and soliciting bribes over a decade ago.

TV personality Jay Johnston received a pardon for his involvement in the infamous 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, per NBC News.

Will Joe Giudice join the list of celebrities Donald Trump has pardoned?
