Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has big news to celebrate, as she’s paid off her tax debt.

Teresa Giudice's Latest Tax Debt Drama
In March, it was reported Teresa Giudice was hit with a $300K tax debt.
As OK! reported in March, Giudice was slapped with a $300K tax debt, which was revealed just days after her husband Luis Ruelas’ tax lien of $2.5 million was reported.
According to a court report released at the time, Giudice owed $303,889.20 to the state.
Although there wasn’t a specific reason behind the debt reported, fans were less than sympathetic due to Giudice’s past financial issues, which landed her in jail in 2015.
Teresa Giudice Previously Went to Prison Over Financial Issues
Teresa Giudice went to jail in 2015 for her role in a financial fraud conspiracy.
Giudice went to prison for her role in a financial fraud conspiracy, which included bank, mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud. She and then-husband Joe Giudice were accused of multiple things, including submitting fraudulent loan applications, lying about their employment and salary, concealing assets, filing for bankruptcy protection and cheating the government on taxes.
Amid her financial issues, Teresa posted two selfies that got her into hot water with fans. In the pics, she donned a black T-shirt with the following written on it: “I Speak Fluent French: Hermes. Chanel. Dior. Saint Laurent.”
Given the reports of her financial drama at the time, fans called out the posts for being “tone deaf,” adding the “prosecutors are going to love this.”
