Worse than a table flip. Teresa Giudice is trying to keep her chin up behind bars. In a preview for part two of her Real Housewives of New Jersey special Teresa Checks In, the reality star recalls one scary incident that happened to her at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn.
Andy Cohen debuted the preview on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, Oct. 11, after part one of a three-part special aired on Bravo. In it, she tells her husband, Joe Giudice, what happened when their eldest daughter, Gia, tweeted from her famous mom’s Twitter account over the summer at her request.
“I got shaken down,” Teresa, 43, tells Joe.
Thank you for your outpouring of support and for standing by me through this most difficult time. Love love love you all!

As previously reported, the Fabulicious! author will end her 15-month jail sentence early, before Christmas. Joe, 43, will then report to prison for his 41-month sentence stemming from their multiple fraud charges.
The RHONJ vet and Joe — parents to daughters Gia, 14, Gabriella, 11, Milania, 9, and Audriana, 6 — have been trying to stay in contact as much as possible during the difficult time. Teresa emails and calls, and even tries to have phone sex with her longtime love. In a previous clip from Teresa Checks In, the couple joked about having “couch sex” after the mom of four watched a screening of Magic Mike with her prison mates.
“I was picturing your face on their bodies, and I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ All the girls here were going nuts,” she said at the time. “I was like, ‘That’s going to be my husband. He’s going to have abs soon.'”
Joe quipped: “Don’t worry about it. When you come out and I go in — don’t worry about — I’ll have abs.”
Part two of Teresa Checks In airs on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 8:00 p.m. ET on Bravo.
