Giudice had been silent on social media since checking into Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in January. She and husband Joe Giudice were sentenced to 15 and 41 months in prison, respectively, for fraud in October 2014.

The couple will serve their terms separately on account of their four daughters, with Giudice slated for early release in December. She previously told Us Weekly she and her family are unbreakable and will be stronger for the experience.

Giudice came to fame on Bravo series The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which finished a sixth season in November. The reality star's attorney, James J. Leonard, Jr., told People magazine Giudice will likely return on the series following her release.
