Teresa Giudice and her husband, Joe Giudice, appeared in court on Tuesday after being indicted on 39 criminal counts including bank fraud and tax evasion. She released a statement through her lawyer but has since taken to Twitter to thank well-wishers for their support.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who has four children and faces up to 50 years in prison, she tweeted:
Thank you all so so much for your love and support. It means the world to me and my family! TANTI BACI Xx

The best-selling Skinnylicious author followed up with, “I wish I could hug you all right now. Xx.”
A former co-star and good friend of Giudice’s, Dina Manzo, tweeted an encouraging message that must be for the troubled reality star because she retweeted it.
Manzo wrote:
Keeping a friend in my prayers tonight...This too shall pass xo

Another co-star and former best friend, Jacqueline Laurita, also tweeted:

Teresa and her husband Joe were each released on a $500,00 bond and will appear in court again next month, pleading not guilty to the charges.
After the indictment was reported, she said in a statement "I support Joe and, as a wonderful husband and father, I know he wants only the best for our lovely daughters and me. I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career. As a result, I am hopeful that we will resolve this matter with the government as quickly as possible."
