Teresa Giudice’s daughter Gia insists ‘everything is under control’ amid $3 million tax bill nightmare
Teresa Giudice’s daughter Gia Giudice has insisted that she’s not worried amid her mom and stepdad’s outstanding tax bills, despite them both owing millions.
Last week, it was revealed that reality star Teresa, 52, and husband Luis Ruelas, 49, had over $3 million in New Jersey state tax liens placed on them.
Tax liens are a legal claim made on a person’s assets if they fail or refuse to fully pay their taxes. If they fail to pay the amount of the judgment, the government would be able to seize their assets.
According to the New Jersey Courts website, Teresa owes $303,889.20 in unpaid taxes in a judgement that was entered on March 20.
Luis owes several times that amount, after a judgment saying he owes $2,569,842.06 was entered on March 6.
That amount is on top of an earlier lien issued on December 12, 2024, for $163,523.94 in unpaid taxes.

But Gia, 24, is not panicked.
Speaking on the March 30 episode of Casual Chaos, she said: ‘So, we have had a lot of positive moments this week and some negative moments.
‘I’m sure you all have seen the news and a lot of you have been commenting on the Casual Chaos Instagram wondering if I will comment on this topic.
‘I told you guys that I want to be real with you, and I’m commenting on it. So, let’s start from the beginning a little bit.’
She continued: ‘My mom has been the sole provider for my sisters and I since the minute my father left for prison.’
She went on to stress that mom Teresa has been ‘working her a** off to make sure that my sisters and I live a stable life and that my family is financially stable’ since she was freed from prison in December 2015.
‘I can’t stress enough how much my mom has worked,’ Gia said.
‘Everything will be resolved. My mom has everything under control and there’s nothing to worry about.’

‘My stepdad, Louis, is the most amazing stepfather,’ she continued. ‘He treats my sisters and I like we are his own. He is also working on getting everything resolved as well.’
Teresa’s former husband Joe Giudice was jailed for 41 months after he plead guilty in 2014 to 41 counts of bank, mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud.
He also admitted to not filing a tax return from 2004 through 2008.
Following his sentence, Joe was forced to move to Italy ahead of deportation hearings.
Teresa was ultimately sentenced to 15 months in federal prison.
She met her future husband Luis during a 2020 vacation on the Jersey Shore.
