Discrepancies in 'Housewives' bankruptcy filing
The trustee overseeing the bankruptcy of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice and her husband, Joe, told the court there are "several discrepancies" in the couple's listing of assets - including an unreported $280,000 book advance and two undisclosed businesses.
Roberta A. DeAngelis, the U.S. trustee handling the case, wrote in court documents that after the couple's initial October 2009 filing for Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy, additional assets started coming to light, resulting in amended listings in December 2009, and January and March 2010.
The document was obtained and posted online by radaronline.com.
Then this past spring, a court examination found even more unreported assets, according to the trustee:
An online boutique called TG Fabulicious Llc
An additional real estate business, 1601 Maple Avenue Associates Llc
A contract for a $250,000 initial advance, a $30,000 additional advance and royalties from publisher Hyperion for a cookbook titled "Skinny Italian" - signed just one month before the bankruptcy filing
Joe - formal name Giuseppe - never filed personal income taxes for 2006 to 2008.
According to Us Weekly, Giudice wrote a blog post about her financial predicament back in July, saying: "Every day, there are new tactics used, stories circulated, and details 'leaked' to the press, but it's all part of the legal wrangling.
"All I can do is rise above it, keep my head high, and know that at the end of the day, I have my family, my health, and I'm in God's hands."
