On December 23, 2015, she was released from federal prison after serving 11 months of a 15-month sentence for fraud. She is known for her extravagant lifestyle and highly publicized financial and legal troubles leading up to her prison sentence.

He was granted a temporary deportation delay in federal court last week.
We first met Gia Giudice when she was only 8 years old. With everyone watching, Gia, the oldest of four daughters, was forced to grow up fast, blossoming into a young adult in front of the cameras. Today, she's all grown up and pursuing her own dreams and passions while dealing with the realities of both her parents doing time in prison following financial fraud.
Here are some pics from when she was younger:

Gia celebrated the end of her senior year in style. She was joined by all her friends for her high-school prom. They gathered at the Giudice home for refreshments and lots of photos before heading off to the big dance.
In a clip shared to her Instagram Story Teresa personality fawns over her daughter’s escort for the evening: RHONJ costar Dolores Catania‘s son, Frankie.
“Hi, Frankie! That’s my daughter’s prom date. Look how handsome he is,” Teresa said.
“So gorgeous!” Teresa exclaimed as Gia descended the staircase at the beginning of the evening with flashing cameras all around her.
This is Gia's second prom of the season. “Prom round one,” she captioned a previous Instagram photo of the dress, adding a blue heart emoji.
