Teresa Giudice has spoken out on social media once again

A tweet was posted to the 43-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star's Twitter page on Thursday. The mother of four is currently undergoing a federal prison sentence in Danbury, Conn.

"Thank you for your outpouring of support and for standing by me through this most difficult time. Love love love you all!" the reality star's message read. 

This isn't the first time Giudice has spoken out from prison. She previously thanked fans for their support last month, marking the first time she had tweeted in five months.

"Thank you everyone for all of the cards, letters, and kind words of support," she wrote. "I love, love, love you all xo T!"

In spite of the tweets, Giudice's lawyer previously told E! News that his client is not tweeting while in prison. 

"Teresa absolutely did not send the tweet herself. She doesn't have access to Twitter," Giudice's attorney James Leonard, Jr. told E! News. "The message came from her. She asked her daughter Gia to please post it. She wanted to thank her fans for the hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces of mail that she's received since she's been incarcerated...She's truly grateful."

The Bravo star's attorney added: "While she's finishing her sentence, she may continue to communicate with her fans this way."

The mother of four—daughters Gia Giudice, 13, Gabriela Giudice, 10, Milania Giudice, 8, and Audriana Giudice, 5—began her federal prison sentence at Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn. on January 5. She has been sentenced to 15 months on fraud charges. 

Upon completion of her sentence, Teresa's husband of 15 years, Joe Giudice, 42, will serve 41 months in prison. In the meantime, however, E! News has confirmed that Joe and his family have begun filming their new Bravo special which follows their day-to-day life while Teresa is in prison. 

"I think she's going to emerge stronger, more focused," Leonard told E! News exclusively in May. "She's getting back in touch with her faith. She's spending a lot of time praying in there and I think the Teresa that comes out of prison is going to wow people."
