Teresa Giudice, star of Real Housewives of New Jersey, has been released from prison, her lawyer confirms to ABC News.
Her release comes a few months before the scheduled end of her 15-month sentence. Giudice was sentenced to prison last year after being convicted of fraud along with her husband.
“She’s looking forward to coming home,” Giudice’s attorney, James Leonard, told ABC News earlier this week in announcing his client’s planned early release. “She’s going to go straight home. She’s not going to a halfway house. She’s going to get to spend Christmas with her family and get back to her life.” Leonard said Giudice was being released for good behavior and that “she’s not receiving preferential treatment.”
Giudice’s husband, Joe Giudice, is scheduled to start his own 41-month sentence in March.
