Nobody expected "Real Housewives of New Jersey," and recently convicted fraud felon, Teresa Giudice to maintain her silence on the court decision to stay silent long, so she didn't disappoint Monday.
Giudice went all in on media outlets across the globe with her take on the 15-month sentence she received in Newark, N.J. Federal Court after pleading guilty to wire and mail fraud along with several separate bankruptcy fraud charges. Giudice also was sentenced to two years probation following prison and an $8,000 fine.

Giudice was "shocked," she told Andy Cohen on Bravo, the producer of the "Real Housewives" franchise and talk show host, on "Watch What Happens Live" that aired at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
Saying she was a trustworthy person, Giudice went on to say she trusted the wrong people and must "fully understand something" in the future when dealing with money. She has suffered sleepless nights over the fraud charges and sentencing and her nerves were shot, she said.
The New Jersey housewives flashpoint personality wasn't the only reality TV star Giudice who went down in the flames of convicted fraud. Husband Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice fared even worse when it came to sentencing from U.S. District Judge Esther Salas.
The judge sentenced Joe Giudice to 41 months in prison and $414,000 in restitution for bank and mortgage fraud along with tax evasion, noting he lied about assets even on his pre-sentencing form. His family moved to the U.S. when he was a few months old, and he never became a citizen, so he also could be deported following prison.
The flamboyantly over-the-top couple's sentences will be staggered, so one of them can remain with their four daughters ranging in age from to 5-to-13 years. Teresa Giudice is scheduled to enter custody on Jan. 5. When she finishes her time, husband Joe will go to prison.
