Teresa Giudice Says She Was "Shaken Down" in Prison After Daughter Gia Giudice Tweeted on Her Behalf

Real Housewives of New Jersey star faced consequences after using social media

It hasn't been a breeze for Teresa Giudice in prison.

Viewers have been learning more about Teresa's stay in the Danbury, Conn., prison in the three-part special Teresa Checks In, and it looks like Teresa has gotten into trouble while behind bars. In a preview for part two of the Bravo special, Teresa reveals to husband Joe Giudice what happened to her after their daughter, Gia Giudice, tweeted on her behalf.

"I got shaken down," Teresa, 43, tells Joe in the preview, which aired on Watch What Happens Live Sunday.

In addition to the Bravo special, Joe has spoken exclusively to E! News about how life has changed for his family since Teresa began her sentence. Now that he's busy playing Mr. Mom, Joe admitted to us that he has learned a lot since taking the reigns.

"I've always been a father," he told E! News during our exclusive sit-down interview. "I've always done everything but Teresa did all the driving around, running around, paying for everything and doing all this and doing all that. I never knew how many expenses there are just in the activities."

And although the extra-curricular activities are a bit pricey, he enjoys watching his kids participate. "Damn, cheer's expensive. Damn, soccer's expensive. Everything's expensive, but I enjoy it. It's fun watching them and they did really good."

Joe has even become a regular at practice. "I'm like the mom—I'm like the cheer mom and whatever," he jokingly said.

Despite the adjustments, Joe said, "It hasn't been easy."

"You're emailing, you're talking here and there, but it's not like she's here," and told E! News he misses her "every day, every minute. I always wish she was here."

"I'm glad I was able to keep the girls together, and do what we have to do to get by until she [Teresa] gets home," said Joe, noting that while he wouldn't say the family was "doing well" without Teresa, they're "managing" as best as they can.
