Teresa Giudice: I Got Screwed Because I'm a Celebrity

Teresa Giudice says she would have gotten house arrest if she was just Jane Doe, claiming she was sentenced to hard time because she's a celeb.

Teresa will be on "TMZ Live" Thursday, and she's very clear about her belief ... she had a big fat target on her forehead because she's high profile.

The 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star says her daughter Gia has changed career paths because of the sentence and her mom's harsh treatment behind bars.

Watch 'Live' Thursday ... she also talks about where she stands on the 'Housewives' power rankings.
