Things got intense for the Giudice family in January 2015 when Teresa Giudice served a 15-month prison sentence, per Business Insider. Teresa served her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn., the same location that inspired the Netflix series, Orange is the New Black.

What happened was that Teresa and Joe Giudice were indicted in 2013, according to People, as they were accused of hiding money in their bankruptcy filing. Joe also neglected to file tax returns from 2004-2008. Initially, they pleaded not guilty, but then "entered a plea of guilty," per People. Teresa served her sentence first of 15 months and Joe was sentenced to 41 months in prison for "mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud," according to People. Joe was mandated to serve his sentence after Teresa so that they could each be present for their children.

According to Business Insider, Gia was the first member of the family to speak out about Teresa's departure for prison. On Jan. 4, 2015, Gia took to Twitter and wrote, "support system is unreal," followed by the hashtag "so blessed." But just because Gia put on a brave face doesn't mean it was easy for her or her younger sisters. And this wasn't the end of the family drama.
