Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Giudice debt and bankruptcy leads to house auction

Easy come, easy go.

The big spending Teresa Giudice, who stars on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” reality show, will be forced to auction off many of her worldly possessions as part of a bankruptcy filing, according to People.com.

Televisions, sofas, chairs, chandeliers, as well as a boat and jet ski — even a suit of armor — are scheduled to hit the block at their Towaco, N.J., mansion on Aug., 22, 2010, at 12 p.m. ET. To check out a complete list of available items click here.

Giudice, who was looking for a “fresh start” after claiming a downturn in the economy crippled the family finances, is currently appealing the bankruptcy auction.

From her attorney, Jim Kridel:

“Obviously we have objections to what they’re trying to do…. I don’t think Teresa is happy seeing all her belongings displayed on the Internet. Clearly they are under the microscope because they are famous.”

If the auction goes off as planned, interested bidders are required to present a $300 refundable deposit at the time of registration. In addition to their possessions, the six-bedroom, five-bathroom “rococo chateau” is for sale for a little less than $4 million.
