Guidice, now a free woman, left Danbury, where she has been serving a sentence for bankruptcy fraud since January 2015 just two days before Christmas. Entertainment Tonight reports that Guidice, her husband, and their four daughters, Gabriella, Gia, Audriana, and Milania, opted to spend a "low-key" night together instead of hosting a party upon Guidice's return to Montville.
Her lawyer, James J. Leonard, Jr., said that the Guidice family planned on spending Christmas Eve at the home of Teresa's brother, Joe Gorga, and his family.
Both Guidice and Gorga's wife, Melissa, have confirmed that they will be back for the seventh season of "Real Housewives of New Jersey." Melissa announced her sister-in-law's arrival from prison, tweeting, "With Christmas comes miracles. Welcome home."
Guidice's pre-holiday release was extra festive, as the reality star had a brand-new 2016 Lexus LX570 awaiting her arrival, a source revealed to ET. The new car, which reportedly cost $95,000, was wrapped in a red bow and cameras rolled as Guidice arrived home and discovered her early Christmas gift.
