The Real Housewives of New Jersey have had their fair share of financial failings, and now Jacqueline Laurita is speaking up about rumors of her own recent woes.
Jacqueline and her husband Chris are reportedly being sued by their mortgage company, Hudson City Savings Bank, for missing a payment on a $1.6 million mortgage taken out on their home. However, on Tuesday, Jacqueline was confronted by television station WTIC and addressed the lawsuit.
According to Jacqueline, “My house is not in foreclosure. There is no threat of losing it. We simply modified our mortgage which is a process.” She also adds, “Our mortgage modification has been approved and all is good.”
The Lauritas are also in a dispute with the IRS over $340,000 which is owed from an old 2006 tax audit.
Jacqueline and Chris have taken issue with the amount of interest added to the 2006 audit. She says that they are currently negotiating with the IRS to settle on a more amicable dollar figure and she adds, “Once that new amount is decided… we will, of course, pay the amount.”
“My husband and I have ALWAYS filed and paid our taxes every year. We have NEVER evaded taxes,” says Laurita.

I feel less sympathy for celebrities like Jacqueline than I do for the many other individuals seeking tax debt relief- paying your taxes and being mindful of your debt/spending is no joke, no matter how wealthy or famous you are!
