<p id=”par-1_95″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/teresa-giudice-gia-giudice-different-housing-decision.html/”>Gia Giudice</a> has opted not to attend law school and, instead, is attempting to build a media empire of her own. Understandably, much of her content is focused on her famous family. The Giudices do provide plenty of material, and Gia is utilizing that for her podcast. Recently, the 23-year-old podcaster used her platform to defend her mother. Gia addressed <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/bravo/”>Bravo </a>stars Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas’ massive tax bill. She is insisting that her mother has everything under control, even though the pair, who married in 2022, owes more than $3 million in tax.</p>

<p id=”par-2_64″>Fans might be worried about Teresa Giudice, but Gia appears completely unbothered despite her mother and stepfather owing the government millions. Still, Teresa’s eldest daughter did feel the urge to address the news and her family’s issues with the IRS. During her first full-length episode of <em><a href=”https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-casual-chaos-270211220/episode/welcome-to-the-chaos-270834713/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Casual Chaos</a></em><a href=”https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-casual-chaos-270211220/episode/welcome-to-the-chaos-270834713/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> </a><em><a href=”https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-casual-chaos-270211220/episode/welcome-to-the-chaos-270834713/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>With Gia Giudice</a></em>, Gia addressed the tax troubles but insisted there was nothing to worry about.</p>

<p id=”par-3_87″>Gia claimed that both her mother and Ruelas are working to resolve the issue quickly and that her mother has spent years leaning into the hustle and working hard. She assured her listeners that her mother had everything under control. What Gia did not share is exactly how the duo found themselves with such large tax bills and whether Teresa’s previous legal troubles could complicate <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/real-housewives-new-jersey-teresa-giudice-tax-trouble.html/”>her current plight</a>. According to several reports, Giudice owes over $300,000 in back taxes, while Ruelas is in arrears for $2.6 million.</p>

<p id=”par-5_130″>Frankel took to <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH_NkyWADWd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram </a>to express concern for Giudice, insisting she was “worried” about the tax troubles. She went on to claim that Ruelas gives off “hundredaire” energy and that Giudice might be a bad “picker” when it comes to men. Both Giudices responded to Frankel’s comments on Teresa’s marriage and financial troubles. While both Teresa and Gia insist Luis is fine and that their financial issues will be handled quickly, there have been many questions over the last few years about Luis. Friends and fans have questioned his wealth and whether he actively sought out Teresa Giudice. Drama surrounding his past has been featured on <em>The Real Housewives of New Jersey</em>. In fact, Luis led to tension among the cast. Only time will tell how it plays out long-term.</p>
