Teresa Giudice unceremoniously cut off an interview when asked about tax liens totaling over $3 million.
In a clip shared via X Friday, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 53, fielded questions from local anchor Larry Potash at WGN9 in Chicago during a remote interview.
“How is it that a family doesn’t pay their taxes for years?” Potash asked. “Is that what the fraud charges were?”
“Um, who’s — what family are you talking about?” the Bravo star asked, to which he replied, “Your family.”
Teresa Giudice abruptly ended an interview with two Chicago anchors after she was asked about her tax debt.
“How is it that a family doesn’t pay their taxes for years?” anchor Larry Potash asked Giudice.
“OK,” Giudice said before attempting to end the video stream. “Let’s just hang up. That’s it,” she said.
Text reading “Teresa’s iPhone” could then be seen on the screen as the call ended.
“She didn’t like that question,” marveled Potash. “Yeah. Well,” responded his co-anchor in the awkward clip.
In an X re-post of the video, Potash quipped, “In the words of one of our viewers, she evaded that question like …taxes.”
“What family are you talking about?” the Bravolebrity asked.
Giudice ended the conversation mid-interview.
Potash reposted the clip via X.
Giudice owes $303,889.20 in tax liens, according to documents obtained by Page Six back in March. Her husband, Louis “Luis” Ruelas, whom she married in 2022, owes upwards of $2.6 million.
The “Dancing With the Stars” alum was married to Joe Giudice for twenty years before their 2020 split. And prior to that, both served time in prison for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud.
Teresa was behind bars for 11 months in 2015. Joe, meanwhile, spent two years in prison before being released in 2019 and subsequently deported to his birthplace of Italy.
The anchor surmised that Giudice disliked the question.
News broke in March that Giudice and her husband Luis Ruelas were hit with $3 million in tax liens.
The former couple shares daughters Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana.
Teresa’s lookalike daughter Gia, 24, downplayed the family debt during a March episode of her “Casual Chaos” iHeart podcast.
“Let’s start from the beginning,” she said.
The reality star and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, previously served time in prison for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud.
The “RHONJ” star spent 11 months behind bars in 2015.
“My mom has been the sole provider for my sisters and I since the minute my father [Joe] left for prison. The second my mom got home from jail, 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.”
Gia continued, saying she “can’t stress enough” how hard her “mom has worked” and assured her listeners that “everything will be resolved.”
“My mom has everything under control, and there’s nothing to worry about,” she explained.
