Despite facing 50 years in prison, Real Housewives Of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and her husband Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice put on a united front to attend the NephCure Foundation’s 9th Annual “Countdown for a Cure on Thursday night, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.
The couple was all smiles as they entered the room at New York’s Capitale, laughing together and showing no signs of their legal woes.
The pair pleaded not guilty to the latest fraud charges against them in federal court in Newark, N.J., on Wednesday.
"I'm doing well and thank everyone for their prayers and tweets. It means a lot,” she exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News at the event.
“But right now, my focus is on this charity,” she added.
Teresa’s involvement with The NephCure Foundation, a kidney disease non-profit, stems from her support for Matthew Levine of Long Island, who was diagnosed with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis at age 3. She met Matthew through his parents, Dana and Michael Levine while at an Eric Trump Golf Event. Through her accomplishments on The Celebrity Apprentice, she won $60,000 for NephCure.
