Since the news broke out that former reality show star Joe Giudice would be deported after leaving prison, his wife Teresa Giudice and daughter Gia Giudice have finally opened up about their feelings regarding the court’s order to send Joe back to Italy.

According to Us Weekly, Teresa posted a photo on her Instagram account showing the Statue of Liberty crying and covering her face with both hands. Teresa captioned the photo with four praying hands, “????????.”

Giudice’s daughter Gia followed her mother just moments later, sharing one of her “favorite pictures” of herself as a little girl with her father. She wrote, “my father is no threat to society he is one of the most warm-hearted people I know, he would never harm a soul. He puts everyone else before himself.”

The 17-year-old girl then continued, “My father did his time and learned from his mistakes. Isn’t being in there supposed to make you realize your mistakes so you can become a better person? And that’s exactly what my father did. He hasn’t felt or looked this good since he was in his 30’s.”

Gia said the family has plans to spend time together when the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star gets out of the jail.

“I need my father to be here. My father belongs with us and his entire family. My father came into this country when he was one year old, the United States is the only country he knows,” she added.

She also hoped her fans and followers could help spread the word, and at the end of the post, she hashtagged “#bringjoehome.”

Joe Giudice, an Italian American, was born in Italy and brought to Paterson, New Jersey when he was one year old by his parents, according to New York Daily News.
In Oct. 2014, Joe Giudice was sentenced for three and a half years in prison after being convicted of 41 counts of mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud. On Oct. 10, a judge gave an order that Giudice would be deported back to Italy after his release from jail, reported Us Weekly.
