Teresa Giudice has been incarcerated for nearly three months, but this week fans were given a glimpse into her life in the Danbury, Conn. facility where she's serving a 15 month sentence.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Posing on the cover of Us Weekly with husband Joe and daughters Gabriella, Gia, Audriana, and Milania, the magazine offered a first look into what life is like for Teresa now—and her family. So what did she think of the story?

"I met with Teresa today and brought the magazine to show her," James J. Leonard, Jr., shares with E! News. "She got very emotional and actually started to cry when she saw the photos of Joe at home with the girls."

Teresa has been attempting to keep a somewhat normal routine inside. Aside from hitting the gym after every meal, she's also been in constant touch with her family via email and phone calls.

And while Teresa has her share of detractors, she's taking any criticism in stride. "She said to me, 'If I look good, I get criticized for looking too good. If I look bad, I get criticized for looking terrible,'" her lawyer explains. "Either way, she can't win. So it really doesn't bother her."
