Is Teresa Covering For Joe?

It’s been a hard year for Teresa and Joe Giudice. Lawsuits, bankruptcy, Danielle and Joe’s DUI/DWI. In the midst of all the chaos, the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars have had to go into damage control mode.

Joe’s DWI was again addressed on last week show claiming he wasn’t drunk when the accident happened but rather just really really tired. And now Teresa is making some claims of her own, mostly in reaction to Danielle Staub’s commentary on last week’s show wondering why Joe wasn’t home with his family and making an unfounded innuendo that he might have been at a strip club. Plus Teresa is making statements contrary to what’s been reported. What did Teresa say? And is she lying to protect her hubby?

She said that “Joe was with his beautiful wife the night of his accident, thank you very much. We went to dinner with Caroline and Albert, Jacqueline and Chris and even Tamra from Real Housewives of Orange County.” Instead of heading back home from “the city” with Joe she got a ride from Jacqueline so she could pick up her car.

The accident happened near their house and he went to the neighbor’s to call the cops, and “had a couple shots to calm his nerves,” before the authorities arrived. Teresa stated that “It didn’t even occur to him that the police would check him for drinking because he wasn’t drunk. And when the police arrived, they didn’t even question him because there was no indication he was impaired at all.” But they did take him to the hospital, due to the severity of the crash, to make sure he was okay. That’s when Teresa claims they found the alcohol in his system, after they drew blood. But she is sticking with the story that he only had something to drink after the crash.

And contrary to what’s been said, Teresa claims Joe wasn’t arrested that night saying, “He wasn’t arrested (believe me, you’d see his mug shot all over the Internet, wouldn’t you?)” . Instead she says they got a citation in the mail a week later. But that goes totally against what has been reported by such new sources as the New Jersey Star-Ledger and TMZ who reported that Joe was charged with a DWI, reckless driving, careless driving and failure to maintain the lane. When the cops looked him up, it turned out that the neighboring town had warrants out for his arrest and came, got him, and locked him up overnight. He was reportedly released, on bail, at 6:20 the next morning.

What’s the truth? Is Teresa lying for fudging the truth to save her husband?
