It sounds like Joe Giudice is taking all of this about as well as we could’ve expected!
As we’ve been reporting, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star was flown to his native Italy back on October 11 after being released from custody by US immigration authorities. And now, Joe is finally allowed to work in the European nation and make money for his family as his case winds through immigration court and he waits to find out whether or not he’s officially been deported.

But as serious as the legal issues are here, and as badly as his reality TV star wife has taken everything at times, Joe seems to be remarkably upbeat and optimistic — and we must say, we’re a little surprised and encouraged by all of it! He really sounds like a changed man!
Speaking out publicly for the first time since his move to Italy, Giudice shot a video message published on Bravo‘s The Daily Dish on Monday evening. Not only are we still stunned by his impressive weight loss, but his optimistic outlook is remarkably commendable, too!
The clip is short, but Joe covers a lot of ground in it, saying (below):
“You just gotta look forward, and never look back. Life, it’s always better to look through the windshield and not through the rearview mirror, you know? It’s a much bigger picture when you’re looking through the windshield. But at the end of the day, people make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. I’ve learned a valuable lesson from all this, and I know my family is the most important thing to me. But it’s better that I’m out here than in there. I just want to let you know that I love you, and I’m always here for you. You know that.”
Powerful, inspiring, uplifting stuff!
Obviously, the cynical among us could say the 47-year-old is on his best behavior simply to impress the immigration judge presiding over his ongoing case, in the hopes his deportation will be halted and he’ll be allowed to come back to America.

It does seem like the reality TV star is content to make the most of his lot in life, no matter where he is — and we give him major props for that!
What do y’all think about Joe, Perezcious readers?! His time in Italy, and vastly improved physical fitness, both seem to have done him well, but will the optimism continue even if he’s officially deported?? Sound OFF with all your thoughts here in the comments (below)…
