“Everything Will Be Resolved”: Gia Giudice Agrees to Settle Mom’s Tax Debt on Condition She Breaks Up With That Man…
The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas made headlines last week as outlets reported that they owe $3 million in taxes. Gia Giudice, Bravo’s rising star, has now set things straight, as she has addressed the reports. She addressed the claims on her brand new podcast Casual Chaos.
Last week, it was reported that the controversial RHONJ couple has received around $3 million in tax liens according to documents and the IRS. The document alleges that Teresa owes $303,889.20, while Luis owes nearly $2.6 million. This came after Luis was issued a lien for $161,523.94 in December, as reported by PEOPLE.
On Monday, March 31, Gia discussed the reports of her parents accumulating $3 million in debt to the IRS. She opened the conversation with, “We have had a lot of positive moments this week and some negative moments. I’m sure you all have seen the news.” Gia then deepened the discussion by sharing her side.
“My mom has been the sole provider for my sisters and I since the minute my father left for prison. She has been working her ass off to make sure that my sisters and I live a stable life and that my family is financially stable. Like I can’t stress enough how much my mom has worked. Everything will be resolved.”

Gia also responded to the reel by saying, “Thank you so much for your sweet video. You are a mother with a daughter. I bet you wouldn’t like [it] if somebody was saying this about you. I hope that one thousand dollars TikTok paycheck was really worth it. And thanks. But we’re doing perfectly fine over here.”
Afer news broke out about the RHONJ stars’ financial woes, Luis requested an extension on a $1 million loan he took out on their home in Montville, New Jersey. The extension was granted, as it is now due in March 2026. However, according to a report from The U.S. Sun and Tax Controversy Attorney Adam Brewer, his and Teresa’s paychecks from RHONJ could be seized by the government if the tax lien remains unpaid.
Another attorney has also revealed that because of Teresa’s past prison sentence for fraud, her tax lien could put her back in the spotlight for the federal agents. Beverly Hills attorney Adam Michael Sacks spoke to The U.S. Sun about how Teresa could find herself in trouble again because of her tax lien. “The real connection is if you’re dealing with the IRS,” he said. “She already committed fraud. They can say, ‘You already have a recor
