Joe Giudice understands how Todd and Julie Chrisley feel admidst their current legal ordeal. On a December 14 episode of “Namaste B$tches,” the entrepreneur believed that the court sought to make an example of the “Chrisley Knows Best” stars with their sentences. “These people did the same exact thing we did … that I did,” Joe told ex-wife Teresa Giudice on the podcast. Had the Chrisleys’ case not gone to trial, Joe speculated that “they would have probably got a slap on the wrist,” with Todd receiving a maximum sentence of “17 months because he’s a citizen.” Given that Todd and Julie went to trial, Joe opined, “They crucified him. They give you double time.”
Joe added to Teresa that, back when they faced prospects of a similar trial, he believed she would “still be in prison and I’d still be in prison” due to their judge, prosecutor and attorney general targeting her for her celebrity. “I mean since when does the attorney general come in?” he asked.
Although Joe served considerably less prison time than either Chrisley will, he was deported to Italy after doing time. Throughout his ongoing deportation appeal case, he most recently has been living in the Bahamas, where daughter Gia Giudice paid him an emotional visit in November, per Page Six.
