REAL HOUSEWIVES Teresa Giudice Dropped by Her Crisis Manager for Not Following Advice

US Magazine reports that REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY star Teresa Giudice has been dropped by her crisis manager, Wendy Feldman.

Feldman has recently assisted the reality couple in their serious legal battles and was in the courtroom when they received their prison sentences last month. The decision to part ways with her client came when Teresa filed a request to serve her sentence at Danbury Federal Prison in Connecticut, best known as the inspiration for the hit Netflix series Orange Is the New Black.

Feldman told US Weekly, "Sadly, my time with Teresa and has come to an end. My client relationships are very important to me, however today's filing regarding Teresa's Bureau of Prisons designation request was not done with my knowledge or input. I am not the consultant referred to in filing. This is clearly not the first time my advice has not been followed, but this is the time where the stakes are the highest. Both for my clients and myself, I work hard to maintain a strong relationship with the Bureau of Prisons. As I've tried to instruct Teresa, this is a process that must be respected. A designation to a camp is a gift, not a requirement from the BOP and the judge. By making this request, Teresa has jeopardized months of work, months of preparation and in fact may jeopardize where she is ultimately designated or sent to. My ultimate responsibility is to all of my clients, not just to Teresa. I'm hopeful that, at some point, a change occurs and rehabilitation begins. My thought and wishes will always be with her children."

She added, "I'm well-known for investing my heart and soul into my clients and today's decision didn't come lightly or without prior events leading up to this."

Guidice will spend 15 months behind bars beginning this January, while her husband, Joe Giudice, has been sentenced to 41 months. The couple pleaded guilty to multiple counts of fraud charges.
