Joe Giudice Speaks Out After Release From Custody

Joe Giudice upped his social media game last week with the debut of his official Instagram account. The account offers fans an inside look at his life in Italy while he awaits a ruling on the appeal in his ongoing deportation case, and it's also giving his long-distance friends and family a peek at what The Real Housewives of New Jersey husband is up to on the daily. His feed already has found a fan in sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.

How to Watch

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

"He is [on Instagram] and I really enjoy watching him try on the skinny jeans. That was my favorite post just because when I had to get my Joe to try on the skinny jeans, he was staring, like 'Are you kidding me? I look ridiculous. They're up my crotch. They're too tight. My legs aren't meant for jeans like this.' And it's like, 'No, honey, you've got to get with the times. Everybody's wearing the tight jeans.' So it was kind of funny to watch Joe slide himself into skinny jeans. I thought that was funny," she told The Daily Dish on Wednesday (November 6). "I'm like, 'Come on, Joe. Get with the times here. You haven't been around in a while. We all wear them skinny now.' He fits right in them [with his fitter body]."

So far, Joe has shared several snapshots into his life in Italy, including reuniting with his father-in-law, Teresa Giudice's dad, Giacinto Gorga. Teresa and their four daughters will also be in Italy to reunite with the RHONJ husband following his release from ICE custody last month in the very near future, which Andy Cohen confirmed will be captured to air on RHONJ at some point.

And before long the holiday season will be here. "I mean I think it would be so beautiful if they went there for Christmas in Italy," Melissa added on Wednesday. "That would probably be a beautiful thing but, I don't know, what's going to happen with him. No one can tell... we have to see what goes on [with his ongoing case]."

Check out some of the highlights from Joe's Instagram, below.
