Teresa Giudice, who is famously in a heap o’ trouble with her husband over potential fraud in their $11 million bankruptcy filing, is going to be hosting a seminar teaching people how they, too, can have it all.
Here’s the blurb for her $45-a-head New Jersey seminar:
“Whether you want to get on a reality TV show, write a book, start and run a business, change careers, this inspiring evening with a woman who has 377,000 online followers will get you going in the right direction.
“Teresa will talk about marketing yourself, dealing with difficult people, working with the press, and she will share juicy details about what goes on behind the scenes of the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey.'”
Teresa also has a blog now where she responds to gossip items and holds contests. In one of her posts the claims that all the bad stuff you’ll read about her is untrue, while all the good stuff is true.
Giudice became topic of discussion when she appeared on the Real Housewives of New Jersey and grandly bragged about her ostentatious lifestyle. She and her husband Joe built a lavish mansion and furnished it with large, gilded items. Teresa is also depicted in the show throwing decadently expensive parties for her children, including a particularly luxurious christening for their youngest child Adriana that included Marie Antoinette serving sushi.
Teresa reportedly spent $60,000 after she filed for bankruptcy in 2009, mostly to buy the furniture featured on the show. They are still under investigation for hiding assets in their bankruptcy (including Joe’s pizza shop, her online boutique, and a $250,000 advance for her successful cookbook), and all the items in their house were almost put up for public auction this summer to help pay back creditors. This case is still open and a trial is set for July 2011.
