Teresa Giudice Speaks Out for the First Time Since Prison Release

— -- Teresa Giudice is speaking out to her fans for the first time since her release from prison.

The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star sent well wishes to her fans in a video released today by Bravo.

Giudice was released from prison last week after serving 11 months at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn.

In the video to her fans, the 43-year-old reality star seemed happy to be home.

"Hi everyone, I'm back! I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year," Giudice said in the video. "It's gonna be a great 2016. Love, love, love you all."

Giudice was sentenced to a 15-month prison sentence last year after pleading guilty to tax fraud in 2014. According to her attorney James Leonard, the reality TV star was released early for good behavior.

Giudice was released just in time to spend Christmas with her husband, Joe Giudice, and their four daughters, but the Giudice's family reunion will be short-lived, as Joe, who also pleaded guilty to tax fraud last year, is scheduled to begin his 41-month prison sentence in March.
